Bob and Frank just left my home after installing a new breaker, running 50+ feet of cable in my attic (and it's in the high 90's today!), installing my Emporia charger and assisting me with connecting the app associated with its' management. And from the very first conversation with Chris the owner, I have had nothing but great communication and follow-up over my questions. My initial site visit with Bob was friendly and informative, assuring me that this shop knows what they're about. I found there estimate to be fair and in the range of what I expected to pay, given all the unfortunate rising costs of copper wire and simply the cost of doing business. Combined with the solar array installed in the winter on our little condo, we are now much more settled for the unsettling energy days ahead. I'm very pleased to recommend that you give Chris a call.

I'm aware of the fact that it's to-date one of the few negative reviews for Vital Energy, but I'm…read moregoing to share my warning to others, as it could suggest that they may not be of the same quality as before. Vital's quote was higher than most others we received, but given their reviews, we decided it was worth the extra spend for a clean install. Pre-install had delays and miscommunications. I know this is common with projects, so I remained positive. I was sent engineering plans for my approval. I saw that these revised plans were for a smaller system than what I had originally agreed to. The change would have made it easier for the installers, but would have netted me less energy, with no adjustment to my cost. To the PM's credit, he attempted to draw my attention to these changes when they were sent for my approval, but I nevertheless saw it as a proposed change constructed to benefit Vital with no consideration toward me, and delayed the process even more as I had them change back to the original agreed-upon system size. I remained positive. On installation day, one of the installers broke my new and expensive inverter. I said no big deal, I'll talk to the PM and we'll figure something out. Even though the system wasn't fully functional due to the broken inverter, but I nevertheless paid everything that was due that day, withholding only a documented amount equivalent to a replacement inverter until we can find a resolution. The manufacturer would only replace the broken inverter it with a used device under warranty (i.e. one that another customer has returned and has been refurbished) with a shorter warranty window. Rather than demand a new inverter at the company's expense, which I believe I fairly could have, I proposed options which included a partial credit for the downgrade (and the warranty hassle and ~two months lost solar generation). After waiting weeks for a reply, I followed up and their finance specialist accepted responsibility for the damage IN WRITING and agreed to the credit. I spent hours on the warranty process, found an oversized box, and shipped the broken unit. This is where it unraveled. Right after the resolution, CEO Jason Jackson, got involved for the first time, deflected blame, and said he thinks my equipment was defective (a manufacturing defect somehow caused a piece of hard plastic to snap off?), asked to inspect it and offered to handle the warranty for me. I told him that the package was already shipped, and that I would have very much welcomed his examination and warranty help three weeks ago (rather than the radio silence I received), but the resolution reached, device shipped and warranty in motion. And despite his self-proclaimed "30 years in the industry," didn't appear to have a grasp of the situation as he incorrectly called the inverter a "battery," and required correction. He also accused me of breach of contract for temporarily withholding a small amount due to the breakage. Meanwhile, I noticed flickering lights in several rooms. Nothing suggested a solar connection, so we called an electrician... three visits and $1,300+ later, he traced it to loose connections and a stripped lug in equipment the installers had just worked in, attributing it to the install with a high degree of likelihood. I had been willing to absorb that bill just to move on. Instead, as the CEO kept trying to walk back the written agreement, I was told my warranty might now be partially void because a licensed electrician had worked in the same area, and the Vital threatened a lien on my home while I was withholding the remaining balance awaiting a corrected ledger and the heat detectors their own permit plans required. Five employees of Vital were copied in to the email thread which created an audience, so I eventually decide to email Jason directly to remove the risk of humiliation for him (I detected a hefty ego), and gave him a generous compromise offer. I made major concessions to just get this over with and we finally put it to bed. I was pleasantly surprised that he did not ask me to sign an NDA as part of a compromise, because now it allows me to share my experience here. The field crews were likable and professional, and even the installer who broke the inverter seemed like a knowledgeable, decent guy. Leadership is what failed here, at real cost in time and stress. Do your due diligence, and weigh the ownership of any company you hire. There are plenty of reputable solar companies out there...

We couldn't get it to go back on at the panel, so I called Spyrka since we'd used them years ago. It was after hours, so I fully expected to get his voice mail in which I'd simply hope for a call back in the morning! Well quite surprisingly, Scott answered! Whew! I was able to explain things to him right then and there, and he immediately scheduled one of his techs to come by in the morning to help! That person was a brand new employee to Spyrka, named Damian. He was very nice, prompt, polite, knowledgable, professional, respectful of our property, quite educational, as I kept asking him questions, and obviously incredibly helpful! He was able to get the power restored, and replaced a couple old GFI's ( at my request ). He brought me up to speed on our old panel, so I decided it might be a good idea to start getting some quotes on possibly replacing it since our home is farily old. Scott was the first to quote us... and it arrived via email fairly soon afterward. Still need a few more of course, and then we'll decide. In any case, I'm just happy to have a reliable, efficient, extremely experienced, professional, and friendly company to call when we have any electrical needs. Thanks Spyrka!! :-)

All went wonderful with the County and we are now wanting the public to know how underhanded this man is. Shocking that a business owner would have such low standards. He actually could have come to us and said "hey! I can help you through this process" instead he took the low road. If you are concerned about anything on your property, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Ah! How surprising that this "business owner" responded in such a defensive manner, just as he has done with all the other people who have had issues with him. Sooo, no, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the installation of our generator and passed inspection with flying colors. It was surprising to us that it even needed a permit but I will say that both the county inspector AND Honeywell were appalled to find out a businessman would have ever done that (Honeywell said unfortunately they do not have control of their repair persons but could not believe someone would stoop so low). They even suggested we should Yelp him Add my review to the numerous other negative reviews and hopefully that will be the WARNING ( as Mike put it) to honest and good intentioned folks that need to be aware of these type of scammers.

Five stars for the installation -- outstanding project manager and crew: responsive, punctual,…read moreprofessional, top-quality work. One star for the sales process. When we raised concerns, I believe the salesperson my partner dealt with wanted to make things right, but sales leadership stepped in, dismissed our concerns as unfounded, and offered nothing. Those concerns were (and still are): 1) Sketchy contract execution. NPP offers a 5-year prepaid lease in partnership with Balto Energy. It lets homeowners offset installation costs because the leasing company collects a 30% federal tax credit (no longer available to homeowners) and, in NPP's words, "monetizes that tax credit over 5 years." The contract was executed by sending the DocuSign to just one partner, with all owners lumped onto a single signature line -- one person signing on behalf of the other. For a married couple in California, that's legally questionable under community property law, given a) the encumbrances placed on jointly owned property, and b) no power of attorney authorizing one spouse to sign for the other. I never saw the agreement until installation was underway. 2) Misleading claims. My partner was told, verbally and in writing, that we'd "own the system outright" at the end of the 5-year term. In truth, the contract contains only vague language about a fair-market-value buyout, with no detail on how to initiate it or who to contact at end of lease. We've had zero contact with Balto through this entire process -- only NPP -- yet NPP's sales director told us they have no role in the lease agreement once it's signed. In other words, they don't stand behind the product they sell. Don't be like us -- do your diligence (especially if you're over 65 and new to solar leases), verify every claim against the actual contract language, and make sure all owners review and sign every agreement.
