So, you've decided to reduce your carbon footprint and reduce your energy costs (perhaps not in that order) by investing in, or at least checking out solar panels (let's face it, most HOAs will not allow you to install a wind farm so solar is really the only way to go.) This is a big investment so you want to get it right. Trying to pick the right solar company can be confusing. Unless you have someone you trust to recommend a firm, you're left to searching through a myriad of sites online that in some cases have dubious reviews. Even scheduling home visits with various companies can leave you undecided. Talking to salesmen can be misleading because, hey, they're trying to sell you something. At this point I took a step back. I decided to look for the best Solar Panel and work from there. This search lead me to "SunPower" panels. These are without a doubt THE best residential panels available on the market today. Best warranty, best power production, smallest footprint, best longevity (least degradation) and just plain best quality. Don't trust my say so, check out Consumer Reports - they have SunPower listed head and shoulders above the rest for years now! So how do I get a Sunpower system installed? Well, it turns out that Sunpower only allows approved installation companies for each area of the country. They must be trained and vetted to install Sunpower products. In Jacksonville Florida, where I live, that company is Power Production Management. Armed with this knowledge I checked out PPM and found that they had an impeccable reputation, great online reviews, great BBB rating AND, as I said, they are the preferred installer for the panels I wanted. Power Production Management did not disappoint. Right from the initial visit I could see the standard of professionalism I expected. The gentleman they sent was polite, informed, thorough, and made no wild promises. He was more of a "sales engineer" than a "salesman". I was "sold". The installers started a few months later and they did a great job. They had that same professional pride that resulted in a project that was neat and clean with everything perfectly straight and level. They took their time to make sure everything was perfect, right down to painting the outdoor conduits to match my house. The system has been up and running for over a year now. I'm saving money and I feel good about my choice environmentally. The monitoring system is fabulous and I can even check it out on my phone when I'm away from home. I'm still patting myself on the back for my choice of Power Production Management and Sunpower panels. You can't go wrong making the same choice. read more

I wrote the same comment on Google, but I'm adding it here as well. When the solar coop launched in Alachua County, I jumped at the chance to go solar. I guess my eagerness showed, because my install was the first one of the Alachua County Solar coop. As I write this, my system has been in operation for about 10 days, so far everything is working as expected. My system looks great on the roof! It consists of 6.867KW worth of Sunpower panels installed on my roof facing southeast, with an expected average production of 800-900KWH per month, enough to hopefully cover 100% of my electric bill. I chose to go for a DC system with SMA grid tied inverters to take advantage of the Secure Power Supply offered by SMA inverters that lets you use your panels to power critical loads when the grid is down and the sun is shining. Overall, the installers were very courteous and careful with my property. The installation took a little longer than expected, about a week or so, but the install crew was very professional and highly knowledgeable. The roofing aspect of the install was done very well, and there have been no roof leaks. The office staff was very responsive, efficient and professional. I really appreciate the nice binder they give you with all the relevant information about your system. I would recommend Power Production Management. read more

The best Solar company in FL! My wife and I decided to make an investment for our future by getting solar energy for our home. We spoke to several companies in FL and we felt that all of them treated us like a used car salesman. Not Power Production Management though. They were not pushy about making a sale and took care of everything throughout the entire process. Plus, the Sunpower panels that they use are the best on the market for performance and warranty. Most of the other brands only come with a 10 year warranty. The Sunpower panels come with a 25 year warranty. It's been a great feeling knowing that we're helping the environment and saving money over the long term. We have been extremely happy with Power Production Management. read more

We just got our Solar Panels installed from Power Production Management. Our SunPower system was finished last week. Power Production Management was a great company to work with from the beginning. From the quote to the final install, they were very caring, considerate and professional. They always placed the customers needs first. They helped us select the right financing and the stepped us through the process the whole way. Their office staff and workers have always been professional and we would use them again. It was great to meet all the guys, but having the owner, Alex take special personal attention really made the experience fantastic. read more

Power Production Management installed a 10kW solar FIT system for me. I was so pleased with them and with the solar performance, that the following year they added a further 6kW of Net Metering for me. They also provided a 1kW system for my pond aerator. Their engineering is faultless, their office staff handle the permitting & paperwork with courtesy & efficiency, and their installers are second to none. They all make sure they go the extra mile to ensure that the customer is 110% satisfied with the system. GRU now pay me every month instead of the other way around! I have no qualms whatsoever about recommending them. read more

We ARE SO EXCITED to have solar panels in our home and we are very happy to have had Power Production Management help us achieve this very important milestone. After researching local companies in Gainesville, we decided that Power Production Management was the best fit for us; the team & crew were responsive, knowledgeable, and passionate about solar. We highly recommend Jason and his team as a premier local solar company. If you are thinking about installing Solar Panels, definitely give Power Production Management a call! Thank you @ PPM for helping us go solar! - Cinthya Gaxiola & David Sankey read more

Power Production Management is a superior solar dealer. I choose my solar panel through loads of research and then used the panel website to find an authorized dealer. I went with Sun Power Panels and I couldn't be happier with PPM!! They were so helpful with helping me figure out what I needed to fulfill my solar needs. The installers were clean, and courteous and matched my house paint perfectly!! I've had my panels on my roof for 6 months and I LOVE them. PPM has been with me all the way. Answering every question quickly and throughly. You can't go wrong with this company. read more

PPM installed my solar panels and a later added two Powerwall backup batteries. On both occasions they were a great company to work with, prompt, professional and always ready to answer questions. I ask a lot of questions. They pulled permits and scheduled all necessary inspections. All of their workers are knowledgeable about solar energy and the process was smooth. Every house is different, but I am saving about $200 a month in energy costs. It has also added to the value of my home and I feel like I am doing my part to reduce carbon emissions. I couldn't be happier. read more

After being overwhelmed and amazed at having such a good price and product package compared to all the competitors in the area, I was then amazed at the great customer service and attention to detail PPM provided. All the way through the process from sales, engineering, installation to commissioning they were thorough and informative. I am confident in their ability as a company to do solar right, and have no doubt going forward that if I choose to expand my system or move, they are going to be the ones I call to help. Thank you PPM, you do a great job! read more

Production Power Management did an excellent job with our solar installation! They were thorough, professional, and did quality work. They were booked out and weren't able to complete the installation before year-end to make the tax break cutoff, but they deducted the cost of the system by the amount we would have saved in tax rebates, netting us the same cost overall. The system has been in placed for a year and the savings to our electric bill have been substantial. Highly recommend going with PPM for your solar panel installation! read more

Our 7.8 kW Sunpower/SolarEdge system was installed in June 2018 by Power Production Management in Gainesville, FL. I would highly recommend them to anyone living in North Central Florida. Alex, the owner we dealt with is a very sincere, honorable, out-of-the-box thinker who provided a custom solution for us because our metal roof's standing seams wouldn't accommodate the standard clip for the panel bracket/rail system. We love our system. Thank you, everyone at PPM. read more

I have been generating power for almost 1 year now and love the fact that I made the decision to go solar. Power Production Management did an awesome making sure that I received a quality system that meet my needs. My only issue was the install date was longer than initially planned, but I was kept informed of the delays and it was due to the high volume of new installs generated by the Alachua Solar Co-Op. It is great to see an electric bill get as low as $26. read more

Just got our rebate from Duke Energy and completed our first full month of connectivity. Exceeded calculated solar generation projection. Tremendous system using quality materials (not Chinese stuff). Very impressed by the installation crew. (How many electricians would put a level on ground wire from box to ground to be sure it is exactly vertical?) Neighbors are asking about it now. read more

Very happy with power productions . They were professional from start to finish - very thorough and answered all my questions initially and also when I needed help to explain if my system was working as expected. I undersized my solar panels with plans to add on after a porch addition and when I have to change out the roof. Very happy with the company and installation team. read more

I have had my system in for about 4 years. A couple of bugs, but those were quickly handled under warranty. These folks really know their business. My power bill typically is about $21 a month. It works !!! My ROI is better than some aspects of my portfolio and its tax free. Fairly priced and installation was excellent and professional. Just do it, you wont be sorry. read more

Power Production installed my solar panels back in 2014. Dealing with the installation crew was an elite experience. I felt confident on choosing this company and now after 3 years and two hurricanes I am relieved I choose d them. The 8.25 kw system I have has earned me a credit with clay electric and the utility company ends up sending me a check every December. read more

I purchased my system in 2017. The entire experience was positive from start to finish. The team was very professional and stayed on schedule. I am actually producing more energy than what was estimated. I would highly reccomend. read more

Power Production Management did a great job. In addition to providing the best value they worked closely with me to improve my electrical system for my old house. I would recommend them to others. read more

We installed solar with PPM about 10 months ago. The company did a great job, on time, and it has performed better than was predicted. I recommend PPM read more
