    so started as a scam on facebook ad, free attic fan. Looked at their website and they did not even…read morelist that as something they did. So on my first interview, asked me about solar, which we have, home automation system, we have, 3 whole house fans, we have, led lights, nest thermostat. So turns out we had noting to buy from them, so they blew me off for the free attic fan they said they would provide Stay way far away from this company

    Hello thank you for responding, I appreciate a business owner that speaks to his customers. +a…read morestar for that. I wish we spoke last year during the battle to get this job completed from A to Z. I will have to say that one of the statements you've made is untrue and I have a email to prove it. On 06/19/21 I wrote to Chris and sent her the estimate with the damage. Her response was that she would have to get back to me after speaking to the big boss. Then after we were told that no payment will be made for the repairs and we were not offered the option for your men to come out and fix it, nor did we want them too after seeing the careless job they did. I will admit our roof was a challenge and I fully blame Nate at Phoenix for pushing this project forward. However, these mistakes mentioned below and the year long battle to get the job completed should have earned me a salary with the way I had to continuously contact everyone and get everyone on board. No one took ownership of this project, that was the mistake from day one.

    Certasun was by far the best choice! No more ComEd bills…read morethis summer! Normally we pay $150/mo for coal-generated electricity from ComEd in the summer months because of air conditioning. Now, our panels are making all the electrical power, carbon-free, for us and the extra is stored with ComEd through the net metering program. We are storing away sunshine for cloudy days! If ComEd power goes out, our solar panels will continue to give us electricity! Our panels give us the energy first and any extra goes to ComEd for storage that will be given back to us when our electricity demand exceeds what the panels can give us. Our summer ComEd bill is $30 now. ALL THIS BECAUSE OF CERTASUN! We have been wanting solar panels for years for one reason: to help be a part of the solution to stop emiting carbon. Solar panels were always so expensive in the past. But, now with state and federal incentives, solar panels are 1/2 price. This past January, 2022, I looked at the Illinois Shines website and saw lots of vendor choices for solar panels. We called several vendors but weren't ready to commit to them. Frankly, it was overwhelming. I was nervous that vendors would stand behind their product. Luckily, my husband heard an ad for CertaSun on NPR and I gave them a try. I was not disappointed. Bill Wayne, Senior Solar Consultant, was excellent. He spent all the time that we needed to answer our questions and he gave an excellent presentation. Way better than any of the solar presentations I had heard previously. We pestered him with lots of emails and phone calls and he responded every time and was patient and extremely informed on the solar landscape including state, federal, and local regulations and incentives. If it weren't for Bill Wayne, I don't know if we would have solar yet! Certasun staff kept their promises, sent us the paperwork, and followed through in the time period promised. And as promised, It took 3 months from the initial contact to installation. Staff were knowledgeable, professional and really easy to talk to. Neighbors, and people driving through the neighborhood, including the skeptical ones, are constantly asking us about the panels and admiring how they look. I don't know how many times I have heard "I think we are going to look into it too!" My next door neighbor is very particular on how things look and she always reminds us how pretty the solar panels look on our roof. Not to mention, the value of our house increased by 4%...we checked Zillow. This investment is a win-win. We win with low energy bills and zero carbon emissions and our neighbors and surrounding community wins because of increased homeowner value. I highly recommend CertaSun. Great company. Love the Sun Power app that tracks our energy usage and the power from the sun. Sun always wins! For example, our 1 month home usage is 610 kWh. The solar panels are generating 774.4 kWh = 127%. The extra energy is being sent to the grid and is being stored by ComEd for us when days are cloudy or at night. The savings for September is $58.37 = 62 gallons of gas. Impressive. Oh! And CertaSun guarantees production! For us, they guarantee annual 112%.

    Update on 4/27/26 Only by writing my honest review did I get…read morethe attention of the executives at this company and my phone call returned today. They decided to refund my $1800 for removal and not pursue working with me since their service could not "meet my satisfaction." Expecting a response within a week is reasonable for any active business this size. If you read the review of others here you will conclude that I am not the only customer who has experienced lagged and/poor communication. I suggest you improve your support workflow in order to thrive in this industry. In the few hours that have gone by, I was able to get a quote and schedule service with another local company. Original Review Do not rely on this company for good customer service from the operations end, good communication or follow-up. They require you to pay an invoice before any work is done. However, when it comes time to schedule the service no matter how many messages you leave or emails you send, don't expect to hear back from them. Research and find another company (if you need work done expeditiously)!
