Photovoltaics (PV) is the conversion of light into electricity. I didn't take physics in school but…read moreI did ok in math so let's take a quantitative review on PhotonBrothers (PB). It's important to understand that PB is a installer not a manufacture. Different manufactures have different models. EnergySage.com is great for general research panel efficiency: SunPower: 22.8% LG: 22% REC: 21.7% PB is a certified installer for REC group a Norwegian company that started in 1996. My specific solar panel model number is REC355AA (alpha series with HeteroJunction HJT cell technology (RECgroup.com) My system: 14 REC x 350 watt panels producing 4,900 (4.9 kW) total solar power. To put this number in perspective, a typical 3 ton central A/C system consumes about 3 kW when it's running. Timeline it took about 3 months from initial call to certification. I went though a co-op with city of Denver (SolarUnitedNeighbors.org). Read up on "Net metering" and "Investment Tax credit ITC" renewed 26% for year 2021-2022 Everybody from sales: Krista T. Projector manager: Eric H. And installers: Jerry & Kyle they were all competent in their lane of work. They all praised their management and liked the company culture. Solar can be purchased with cash or financed with a 20-year loan just like purchasing a car or appliance. It's an investment for your house and your money saving won't break even until around year 10. Loan payment will be around $80-150 per month depending on the kW size of your system. Your electric bill will be significantly reduced to nothing but you still have to pay the $6 monthly service fee plus your Natural Gas utility bill. Most panels will have a 25 year warranty but the biggest difference is Tesla SC330 panels only guarantee Output of 80% efficiency at the end of term. REC355AA panels guarantee is at 92% efficiency.

My experience with Photon Brothers has been nothing short of infuriating. I want to be absolutely…read moreclear so nothing gets lost: the communication, customer service, and basic professionalism I received were shockingly poor, and I deeply regret choosing this company. Photon Brothers wasted 6 months of my time and cost me roughly $17,000 due to their negligence. I repeat, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CHOOSE PHOTON BROTHERS. There are many solar companies out there, take your business elsewhere!! This is a company that puts customer service LAST and will throw you under the bus and leave you hanging the when issues arise and they need to do something that inconveniences them or impacts their bottom line despite contracts, written and verbal promises and basic honorable/professional business norms. Our family moved into our new home in June and immediately began comparing solar proposals. I ultimately chose Photon because Sam Johnson (senior sales rep) appeared knowledgeable. I was explicit with Sam about the type of roof and shingle I had--I even sent him the official documentation from the roofing company detailing the type of roof and shingle. He assured me multiple times that Photon could handle it and told me he had built extra labor costs into the contract for exactly that reason. We signed a contract and approved financing. Then came the site visit with the installation supervisor, Drew Perry. I was on the roof with Drew as he inspected everything. He told me directly that the roof was suitable and we were "good to go." Every step of the way, Photon reassured me the system would be installed before year-end so I would receive substantial expiring federal tax credits. Throughout this process, I repeatedly checked in with the project manager, Kaitlyn Martinez. Responses were rare, slow, and unhelpful--but when she did reply, she also confirmed everything was on track for installation before year end. Install day--November 24--was when it all fell apart. Only that morning did the installation team realize they had completely overlooked the shingle type and couldn't install the system, even though I had disclosed this upfront and even though their own supervisor had inspected the roof in person. The install crew told me they messed up and would make it right and still get it done before year end. Kaitlyn (project manager) called--one of the only times she ever did--and assured me there would be no added cost and they would still complete the project by year end, I was reassured again that they would uphold the contract and their promises. That turned out to be untrue. After several incredibly frustrating conversations with Sam and co-owner John Johnson, where I had to constantly call them for updates, I was finally told that Photon would NOT complete the project at all. They openly admitted they made the mistake but refused to honor the contract or their repeated promises because it would cost them more in labor. John specifically told me that--even though the error was entirely on their side--they were not willing to take the financial hit to fix it and I was just out of luck. They refused any sort of compensation for my lost time and money. John initially tried to blame me because I had a difficult roof, then blamed Drew Perry (instillation supervisor), then blamed his Ops team then just told me verbatim "construction is difficult" and I need to understand that, so too bad for me. As a result, I've lost more than six months of time and a ~$17,000 tax credit, all because Photon Brothers failed to do their job, failed to communicate, and then refused to take responsibility for their own mistake. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution anyone considering this company. They overpromise, underdeliver, and when their internal failures come to light, they deflect, delay, and ultimately leave the customer holding the bag. I cannot recommend them under any circumstances.

Jordan was amazing! He came from Denver area all the way to Colorado Springs without a promise of…read moremore than $100 inspection fee. He found issue on my non functioning solar system quickly and had to run to a big box store for parts. He came to me even when Mike at Rex Roofing said no one in state would be available until next year due to solar rebate going away at end of 2025. Too bad Rex Roofing lost permanent business. Mountain View Solar is literally 2 miles from my house and never returned multiple calls. Same for CO Roofing and Solar. My original installer Rocky Mountain Solar and Wind will install, but Lotus the owner does everything in his power to avoid any kind of post install support. See repair/consultation agreement and how crazy it is! NEVER! Jordan Dysart will always have my maintenance business because he is prompt, clean and fair!

WARNING WARNING WARNING SLEEZY SALES PRACTICES!!!! PREDITORY SALES PRACTICES AFFECTING VETERANS IN…read moreFORT COLLINS!!!! My father is an 80-year-old retired Vietnam veteran who retired at age 78. Earlier this year, my parents relocated to Fort Collins, Colorado to be closer to me and to access better medical care after living in a rural area for nearly 30 years. They now rely primarily on Social Security. My mother, a retired teacher, still works part-time at Compass Community Collaborative School because their Social Security income and teacher pension are not enough to cover their monthly expenses. In June of this past year, a sales representative from ION Solar sold my parents a solar panel system for their home. During the sales process, they were told they would be eligible for a 30% federal solar tax credit and that the energy produced by the panels would more than offset the electrical portion of their monthly utility bills. These financial projections were a major factor in their decision to move forward with the purchase. However, when they attempted to file their taxes and claim the credit using IRS Form 5695, their accountant informed them that they are not eligible to receive the full 30% credit because their taxable income is too low to utilize the credit. This limitation was never disclosed during the sales process. Without the expected $9,572 tax credit, the terms of their solar loan will increase their monthly payment by more than $100. For a retired couple living on a limited fixed income, this increase creates a significant financial burden. I contacted ION Solar to ask whether they disclose income-based eligibility limitations for the federal tax credit to prospective customers. The representative stated that the company is "not tax experts" and that there is nothing they can do now that the contract has been signed. While I understand they may not provide tax advice, failing to disclose a widely known limitation that can significantly affect affordability--especially when selling to elderly customers on fixed incomes--raises serious concerns about transparency and ethical sales practices. My parents entered into this agreement believing the tax credit would offset a significant portion of the cost. Without it, they were effectively sold a system based on financial assumptions that do not apply to their situation.

I initially contacted Solar Side Up in February of 2024 for a solar design and proposal alongside…read moreothers that I have worked with. The process and attentiveness from Brian especially through the design and proposal process along with his expertise in the design and material selection instilled a lot of confidence. They were not the cheapest company that we found, but they were very competitive along with the confidence they instilled through the process that set them apart from the others. When going through our usage history with the utility alongside of our site plan, Brian made specific recommendations to accommodate as many panels as we would need to both maximize production efficiency with a better, and more compact panel alongside an ideal microinverter to keep costs as reasonable as possible. Once we committed to move forward at the end of March, Kirsten and the team were on top of a pre-install site survey and all of the permit applications and approvals with the HOA, City and power utility and everything was approved to move forward within 3 weeks. Installation was promptly scheduled for the following week and the installation crew were prompt, courteous and professional. A couple of installation curveballs came up from the time of the onsite survey to installation and they were able to handle with ease. The final install was very clean and perfectly done. The City electric inspector said verbatim that he wished all of the solar system installations were this well done. I'm not exaggerating that statement in any way. I have had a very positive experience from start to finish with Solar Side Up and will absolutely recommend them to others looking to move forward with Solar. They were very easy to work with from start to finish and treated me like a fellow human being, which I found the most valuable. I felt this was a partnership versus just getting another sale.

Recommendation - Just go with Tesla, their customer service is bad but at least you will save 30%. If you are going to get bad service after the sale you might as well go cheapest and go with Tesla.
