The installation was done well, per the city inspector. FloEnergy's customer service is terrible, though. If there are any issues at all, it takes 5+ phone calls to get it resolved. If they say they are coming to fix an issue, they don't right away. You have to call many times, get many promises, and finally it may eventually happen if you stay on top of it. Our system has been running for about a month, but the reporting through the Enphase computer isn't giving us any data on our usage, as we were promised. Apparently the system never got fully commissioned (per Enphase) and we were directed to FloEnergy as the installer. I called and spoke to our Project Manager, Jordan, on Feb 17th, 2023, and he promised to get someone out here on Feb 20th 2023, but even if he did, our system is still not reporting any usage. Between the cost of the system and what we pay Duke, we are paying more for electric than we were before. I didn't even bother leaving a message when the customer support line goes to VM. They never call back anyway. So if you go with FloEnergy, be prepared to hire an assistant to do any followup, because FloEnergy apparently doesn't have a customer service system in place. I mentioned it at least 2X that the customer service is a fail, in previous conversations with them, and I want this to work and be able to recommend them. But...I don't have time to be their customer service for them when their install isn't working. Supposedly our system is working despite no reporting being available. But I just have to take their word for it, at this point. Planning on getting solar? I recommend looking for a company that has their customer support system set up for all the issues that crop up after it's installed, and you're on the hook for a ton of money. I.e., not FloEnergy. read more

My experience with Flo Energy was so negative that I would never consider doing business with them. I have a clearly posted "No Soliciting" sign, yet one salesperson repeatedly knocked on my door after I had already chosen not to answer. About an hour later, a second salesperson approached me while I was actively mowing my lawn. I told him multiple times that I was not interested, but he ignored me and continued with his sales pitch. He even stood directly in front of my lawn mower, preventing me from continuing my yard work. I had to repeatedly tell him I wasn't interested, remind him about local solicitation laws, and eventually tell him I would report him to the police if he refused to leave my property. Even after that, he continued talking. I finally resumed mowing, and he stood there watching me for nearly 10 minutes, which was incredibly uncomfortable and inappropriate. This wasn't persistent salesmanship, it was a complete disregard for clear boundaries and a homeowner's right to say "no." A "No Soliciting" sign should be respected, and when someone tells your representatives they are not interested, the conversation should end immediately. My suggestion to Flo Energy is simple: invest in better sales training, especially around respecting consent, personal boundaries, and knowing when to leave someone's property. Based on these interactions, I would never trust this company with my home or my business. read more

WATCH OUT!!! I signed a Lease Agreement with this company yesterday and formally got out of it in less than 24 hours. You have 10 days to terminate the Agreement in writing via email if you ever come into contact with this company too. So FLOEnergy is in bed with Palmetto Solar and the leasing agency GoLightReach. FLOEnergy sales reps knock on doors trying to sell Solar for these other overheads because they make a commission and get contracted to do the install/job as their third party workers. I was originally impressed by the FLOEnergy sales pitch (Representative was named Colby) but the horrified by the actual terms of the contract after carefully reviewing what I just signed. (I ashamed I signed anything in the first place). I was told they'd install the solar panels at no expense to me, their work was gaurenteed and insured and if anything happened to my panels or my roof they had my back for 25 years and I was locked in at an amazing 2.99% rate where they gaurenteed was a fair price per kw of my usage that would beat the big bad TECO energy company because of TECOs price per kw inflation history. Here's the thing, the value of the total panels was approx $35k but at the end of my 25 year agreement I'd be $70k in the hole because their 2.99% interest rate is COMPOUNDING. Plus I'd own nothing and THEY got to keep the tax rebate and the energy I was producing goes back to TECOs power grid where it does me zero good as the homeowner. If there's a power outage during a FL hurricane, I'd still be without power regardless of all my panels. What was most offensive was the yearly price break down where it seems all fine and dandy up front in year 1, but by year 25 your bill to them inflated by 100+% and you'd be paying the most at a point where the solar panels would be MOST DEGRADED! Doing a Solar Leasing Agreement is NOT the way to do Solar. Stay away from this company. If you want to do Solar, buy the $35k panels yourself, claim your 30% back energy rebate on it, the panels themselves have manufacturer warrantys as would whoever you paid to do the install itself. You'd out $24.5k and making your own energy with no energy bill to TECO aside the mandatory monthly hookup charge of $13. If I had kept my Agreement with FLOEneergy for $70k, they would have made more than $40k off me and I'd own nothing and my roof and performance of my panels would be at their mercy. STAY AWAYYY!! read more

This review is for the installation only, which was done quick and efficient. They did arrive 20 minutes later than scheduled time without notification. Austin did explain everything at the end and what to expect moving forward. I hope for the best but not hopeful after reading other reviews. Communication is paramount to me so I will wait and see. Of note I realize the difficulty working in the hot weather of Florida but I don't think it's appropriate to be working shirtless as did one of the workers on his crew. It lacks professionalism, let along the safety concerns. read more

Once installation is completed you can never ever get hold of them. They do not respond to text messages, phone calls or e:mails

So every review I've left for Flo Energy is gonna say the same thing as far as the shoulder went everything went smoothly. The roofer they chose was liquid roofing they were horrible, I blame Flo Energy and liquid roofing for not improving my situation, after a new roof is put on, I had several leaks which they came out and repaired then we had a huge rain and a leak in my bedroom. I contacted Flo Energy several times for them to get the contractor to come back out and fix the issue which they did not respond. told me it's not the responsibility because they're not a roofing company, even though the roofing company was hired by them, there were a couple other issues with liquid roofing. My gutter on my back porch was left with about an inch gap between the soffit in the roof. They did come out and fix that. There was also a leak around one of my sunlight in my garage they did the big brown spot in my bedroom from their leak has not been resolved. Flo Energy did send a representative about and he said definitely there was a leak in the roof. He could see it. He was coming though Flo Energy really dropped the ball with that and did not do anything they said that the roofing company would not even respond to them, I consider this fairly shotty and poor business practice read more

Flo Energy - Master bedroom - Solar Installation Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

If i can give below 1 star i would. They put solar panels up right to roof gutters and cage of pool. No one can blow or clean out gutters without walking on panels. Which installers say go ahead manufactures, and warranty say no, gutter cleaners wont do it. We asked them to move panels before we sign anymore papers, they wont. They were hired through Sunnova Solar. Flo energy says Sunniva has to say move panels, Sunnova says Flo energy has to move panels. In meantime my roof and pool cage cannot ever be cleaned and leaves will backup on all of it. Trust me when o tell you...RUN...DONT WALK...STAY AWAY FLO ENERGY SOLAR AND SUNNOVA SOLAR read more

STAY AWAY FROM THESE LIARS! My initial Google review: Fortunately, I'm not a customer of Flo Energy. I was an innocent bystandard driving trying to merge on the highway (when I merge, I drive to the end of said merge lane so I don't stop the flow of traffic and get rear ended) and the man driving a black pick up truck with a Flo Energy trailer on US Highway 19 in Clearwater, FL decided I didn't deserve to merge on the highway for some weird reason, drove up on top my small vehicle flicking me off and continuing to do so once he got next to me. I am a young girl and I felt very scared the way he was acting- road rage for sure. I left a message to report this behavior to the company but they ignored it, so I am leaving a review here. I know I wouldn't want this man at my home with such hostile behavior nor would I like to give money to a careless company who doesn't follow up regarding a situation as such. Merging on a highway is actually in fact necessary and it wasn't to hurt your employees very SMALL ego. My suggestion is to train your employees not to act like uncivilized animals when your company name is being displayed. How horrible for your repuation. Assumed this all went without saying but clearly not. Do better yall. Their Google reply: Dear Brianna, Thank you for sharing your concerns, and we're genuinely sorry for the experience you described. We'd like to clarify that none of our service trucks were in use on Monday, the day you mentioned calling in. Additionally, all our fleet vehicles are Flo-branded and are not black pickup trucks, as we require our team to drive company vehicles to ensure easy identification. If you have any additional details, such as a license plate number or a photo, please share them with us to help verify the information. It's possible that there may have been a misunderstanding, but we'd like to ensure a thorough review. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. My reply to their response: Thank you for your invalidating response. Unfortuantely I didn't have time to snap a photo because thats pretty dangerous in 5PM traffic especially when you have a psycho riding your tail and although I couldnt HEAR him, I could SEE him screaming. but I did call as soon as it was safe to do so. I have verified my call at 5:35PM 10/21/24 - Monday - The trailer had your company logo on it driving in Cleawater, FL, which you are based out of (Address: 13130 56th Ct N Suite 607, Clearwater, FL 33760)? So in that case, are you are stating someone stole your trailer? Is there another Flo Energy in the area you can confirm this may have been with your if not same then similar logo? Id be happy to check with them too. I also see you guys do a lot of LYING judging from your reviews. I have no reason to lie, I'm not even a customer lol. My review STANDS except I now I agree that your liars on top of hostile and uncaring. My second piece of advice to your business office is to not argue with a poor review. I understand standing up for your company but NOT when you are in the wrong. LOL messy company all around! DO BETTER!!! read more

I could not regret this any more than I do. We have had our solar for 1 year 4 months, and every month except for 2 months with solar bill plus power bill paid over $100 each month more than prior to solar. Called a rep several times.... no return calls. What a flipping waste of money and holes in my new roof..... had someone else look and they said we were not given enough panels to accommodate our reported usage.... but I am not buying more of this garbage, they should have figured it out correctly at sale time to go with BS sales pitch. read more

DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR SCAM! I have all my original documents. I signed a lease for the original 18 panels. The work was completed and then I asked for 9 more panels to cover my whole roof to make it look even. I was told by my salesman that the new loan agreement (which was with a different company) was for the original 18 + 9 new panels. I signed the new documents and then discovered it was a lie! The original loan supposedly timed out AFTER they did the installation and the new loan for more money only covered the original 18 panels. No one would help me resolve this issue. DO NOT TRUST THEM!!! read more

A lot of companies send canvassers around who don't leave the best impression of them. My experience with Austin and Kyle was very different, they got my business because they took the time to listen to me and offered services and protection I actually cared for. read more

Kyle was very professional and explained everything. Our panels went in quickly, however the paperwork for us to receive our credits didn't get processed for 9 months. To date we haven't received the lost credit for that time frame and no one from Flo Energy has reached out to correct this. The power company is of no help either. I would have given more stars as I'm happy with the panels however for the loss of 9 months worth of energy credits and having to pay both a high energy bill and the solar panel bill, they lost stars. read more

this company is a total scam! they hook these young kids into working their a$$es off and then don't pay them! They make it a fun time and promise trips and other prizes but don't actually PAY them. and after summer they count on the fact that these young kids don't have a way to know if sets and closes actually install. and they probably assume they don't have money for attorneys that can file a complaint with the Florida labor division read more

Horrible customer service. Takes weeks to get things done and only of you're persistent. They try to put the blame back on the customer. I guess this is to be expected from a company run by people 30 and under with no accountability. read more

My husband and I were very interested in Solar Panels. We got the sales pitch and agreed and then got informed of a 25 year - $70,000 loan! We moved forward but didn't feel comfortable. 35 days in; we did comparison shopping. PES Solar educated us, gave us a quote on more panels, better kilowattage and much lower price (along with explaining the tax rebate). We are canceling our contract with Flo Energy. Hopefully it will go okay. By the way, your solar panels will never give you money back. Systems are designed to support your energy usage for your home. You "bank" any extra wattage for higher usage months when your system will not produce enough kilowatts. read more

2 of them knock on our door in the middle of dinner 7:38 pm and when I don't answer they continue knocking. They use the old line of we just installed solar on your neighbors house. When I just looked at them the girl (Austin I think she said her name was) says on you don't know your neighbors. First mistake in sales, don't be a condescending **. I told them I wasn't interested as polite as I could be considering they shouldn't be knocking at my door at that time of night. I then asked them if there were SELLING solar to which they confirmed that they are. I then pointed at my NO SOLICITING sign and the guy says we have a right to contact people. NO you don't have any right to come onto my property uninvited nor do you have a right to blatantly disregard a NO SOLICITING sign. Even if I was interested in solar, I would never use this company based solely on the lack of professionalism and respect for the homeowner. Imagine how they would treat your property during an install if they act this way before even getting started. No rebuttal from the company is going to suffice. YOU DO NOT DISRESPECT A HOMEOWNER ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY!! read more
