It appears that they could care less about anything other than collecting payment. They miscalculated our needs by nearly 1/2 resulting in our still having a significant Utility bill (while having promised me a net-zero bill... their words) . They not once had a Licensed Electrician on site. When you call them out on being dissatisfied, they threaten to walk away from the project (once they've already received a portion of payment). And threatened to cancel our applications with the Utility resulting in complete Solar reapplication process. The installers did a great job, but they were not employees (as promised). We simply had a horrible experience with these people.

After going back and forth via email for over a week with them constantly requiring further…read moreinformation in bits and pieces rather than telling me all of the information they would need from me at once for a repair, they told me that as I was in Charlotte they would need to quote me a travel fee. I am not sure how they are allowed to get away with stating they serve all of these different areas in North Carolina when they are going to tack on a travel fee to actually come to your location. They also asked for further information about the squirrel damage I need repaired so they could provide quotes on the equipment and materials needed, saying that would be difficult as they have not been to the site to make an inspection. Again, why state that you serve an area if you will not be able to come out and inspect the site before work is to begin? As I do not have the ability to access my roof on my own and was not given pictures of the squirrel damage found, I am unable to provide details on what kind of equipment and materials they would need to address the repair. They are the solar experts, not me. Very disappointing.

After nearly an entire year of botched installs, multiple inexperienced electricians, countless rejections of work sign-off from the Town of Garner inspector, attempts at "making it right" with back pay to cover our loan payments for the many months of dealing with a non-working system... I firmly believe you cannot trust Top Tier to even step on your property, let alone touch your home. Now, a few years later, we are still dealing with over 50% of our panels not working at all, having to wait more than a month for a technician visit, and being hounded by more door-to-door salesmen slinging their new battery storage system. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if their work resulted in a house fire. I'll be paying off my original solar loan, but I won't be giving a cent more to these clowns. Their solar system has resulted in negligible energy bill savings, but it has tacked on a $247/mo payment for faulty panels that they can't be bothered to inspect in a timely manner. What a scam.

Where to begin??? Had an appointment with a sales representative which turned into a hard close…read more Tried to cancel but I submitted the cancellation on day 4 instead of 3. No big deal thought I would be charged for the work that had been done which there wasn't any. So I talked with the sales representative again who informed me it would cost 25k to cancel. Ok so fast forward it took 6 months to get the system up and running and I am paying $25 a month for an alarm system service that I only use for the solar monitoring. If they come to your door just say no thank you! Supposedly run or owned by a Veteran. As a Veteran myself I feel ashamed for the service they provide!

Part of the contract was that after the first 18 months, Blue Raven was to send us a monthly chech of 43.94 to help with interest on the loan payments. The first year was fine but for the past year I have had to call at the end of each month to ask for my check. I am supposed to recieve them during the first week of the month. Every time I call I get the same answer, "it has just been approved and will be out within the next week". I did not call one month just to see what would happen and I never recieved that check. This is not the same company, (morally), I started with. There is no way I would recommend Blue Raven, Sunpower or whatever they call themselves now to anyone. They are getting a lot of advertising from me but it is not the kind they would like. I put my 2 cents in anywhere I can, with friends and neighbors, blogs even public bulliten boards.

I contracted with SEM earlier this year after researching other companies in the area. The main…read moreattraction was that they have been local to Raleigh for ~20ys. Others offered a lower price, but found that these companies vanish overnight and leave you in a conundrum. SEM, takes on these situations to help fix the one and done companies trying to make a buck and splitting. After contacting SEM and working with Yanni, we agreed on a 30 panel system and a Franklin battery vs the Tesla system. The reason being I set up a 30a generator to power what I needed when Duke drops. Franklin offered a generator option so I can still charge the battery and run basic needs in times of a crisis. Plus, it's a 15yr warranty vs 10 for Tesla. My situation is likely a one off, so don't discount the Tesla option. I held off a few months before a review because I wanted to see how this worked. I'm very technical by trade and wanted to see how this played out. For starters, SEM is insanely detailed and will work with you to provide the installation you request, even with last second changes as things flow. They did as I asked and provided input along the way. The entire process was seamless and the PM Maddie, technical engineer Jeremiah and others were always engaged. Even the Wake Co Inspectors praised their excellent work and several told me SEM does everything right. Couldn't be more pleased. As for how this all works. I learned that it works best with full sun, cloudy/rainy days... you get a lot lower output which makes sense. Best days, I can generate 13kw during the day, it'll charge and deplete the battery later on to run the house without using street power. Duke will draw some energy here and there, but the Franklin setup depletes less than Tesla so the monthly kickback is $40 or so vs $50. I'd rather have the generator option and 5yr extra warranty. Just me. My wife thought more about this and now does laundry and the dishwasher on sunny days to use solar vs at night when we're back on Duke. Run the heavy stuff during the day. I moved to the fixed rate, 12.5 cents per KW/hr vs TOU which is 11.5 cents off peak and 22 cents peak (6pm - 9pm). I was paying upwards of $700 a month with an all electric hvac (one up and one downstairs) last year. I switched the downstairs to a dual fuel so I have propane heat and the Franklin system can run a regular hvac unit (heat pump without electric heat strips... so AC in the summer and a unit with propane or gas heat in the winter). During the past few months with 100F heat, my bill dropped to $163 on a full month of fixed pricing. Even on my best months in early Spring or late Fall using no hvac, I would pay well more than that. Another thing we did was bail from the storm events from Duke. I live on the East side of Raleigh between Knightdale and Clayton. It'll storm badly in each city, but it breaks away at the house. We don't need to go into full charge mode drawing 13kw when the odds are we won't need it. Plus, the generator option we have. So we killed the storm option feature to save a bit there. My only regret is that I didn't do this years ago. I was worried about aesthetics, but the layout more than pleased me. Barely pay attention to it. If you have the means to get this done, do it. This company is by far 2nd to none.
