Deceptive business practices!! A couple of years into solar…read morepanel ownership. Here's some things they don't tell you when they sell you a system for $25,000. Your warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Whenever there is an issue with your system, you will get a notification that tells you there's an issue, but doesn't tell you what the issue is, that requires a technicians visits which is $180 I recently had a panel that is under performing, which, after a technicians visit deemed to be a manufacturers defect. So my kick ass warranty should cover this right? Wrong! The manufacturer will replace the panel, but I'll have to pay for shipping, which is approximately as much as a brand new panel would cost. Also, I have to pay for a technician to install the replacement panel. So when the sales person sells you peace of mind that the warranty will cover you - don't believe a word of it. I have long recommended solar panels to my friends. I have also long recommended not going near this chop shop enterprise. They are Temu version of what a solar company should be. Project management is a joke. See my earlier review for that debacle. Product support is an even bigger joke. I wish I could give zero stars.

I will update the review if I proceed with working with him.***** My wife and I are in the process of selecting a company to install solar for us at our home in McHenry. We have received approximately 8 quotes from different companies (including Magitek). Paul seems to be exceptionally knowledgeable about solar installations, building codes, and solar potential. For example, Paul was the ONLY rep I spoke with who informed me that there is a requirement to leave 3' of space between the solar panels and any roof edge or ridge. Obviously, this has a HUGE impact on the number, sizing, spacing, location of solar panels on our roof. Paul also mentioned that depending on the roof system (truss vs rafters), there may be a need to involve a structural engineer. This isn't a huge fee (extra $500 which is cheap insurance IMO compared to having the roof collapse), but it speaks more to the knowledge that Paul brings. Paul was also exceptionally patient and answered all of my questions (all 45 minutes worth). Based on my experience, I highly encourage anyone looking for solar panels in the area to at least speak with Paul and get a quote from him.

Antiquated and Unprofessional…read more I caution against using Magitek Energy for solar installation. This company has not kept up with the pace of change in technology and appears stuck in the 1990's. Paul the owner was scheduled to conduct an on-site assessment for solar at my house, but cancelled the day of the appointment because of an outdated Google Earth picture he found of my roof from the 1990's. My house was shaded by trees at the time and had a number of attic fans scattered across the roof. He said this would disqualify my house for solar. I explained that the trees were removed years ago and my roof was completely rebuilt last year with no more attic fans. For some reason Paul did not believe that I had this work performed (no clue why I would lie about this). Paul refused to honor the on-site appointment and instead deferred to his blurry Google Earth photo from 20+ years ago to complete his "site assessment." As other reviewers have stated, Paul is not an advocate for customers. His overall inexperience and lack of professionalism are immediate disqualifiers when there are so many other reputable and proven solar companies in the area.

The staff is very responsive - theyll call, email, and even text you to work out anything and communicate as needed They give you the option to virtually provide photos of your setup for the initial proposal of an installation without requiring them to send someone to inspect things, which saves time for both parties. Once received, they'll verify the feasibility of the installation and draw up an official proposal for your review. I had a couple prerequisites to handle prior but once ready, they are quick to get back to you with all of the official documents From there, theyll send the engineers/electricians down to do the installation. Vasili handled my job and did amazing work. Super friendly and knowledgeable, great conversation, finished in 2 hours. He walked me through the game plan, insisted that I prioritized what location fit my preference over what would be easier to do, and executed it independently in a timely fashion. Overall very satisfied with the service from Kapital Electric :)
