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.

I got the Tesla Charger installed by Yes Solar and the reason I went with Yes Solar was, they are…read moreTesla Certified and the cost difference compared to uncertified installers was not much. The uncertified installer was not going to take town permit and said will use 50A breaker compared to 60A tesla suggests to take full advantage of their chargers. So it was no brainer to go with Yes Solar. They are very professional and meticulous in their work. Firs they will come and inspect the location and gives an estimate. Once you approve it they will start with town permit and procuring the 60A breaker which was a special order and took some time to arrive due to supply constraints. The permit took more than a week, but it was worth the wait and gives me confidence that I followed the NEC code. I dont want to take chances with electrical work. On the installation day 2 installers came on time and did a wonderful job, everything according to the code. My car now charges at full 48A Tesla rated 80% of 60A breaker. Getting 43 miles per hour charge. Very happy with the work and suggest Yes Solar for anyone looking for quality Tesla Charger installation

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.

Covenant overcharges and under delivers. A year ago, we signed with Covenant Solar based on their slick sales pitch. Just 3 months in, we were already not seeing the "savings" we expected. Convenant said that the ROI needed a good year to manifest based on seasonal production and usage fluctuations. This month we are now a year with their system, and we are paying $150 MORE PER MONTH in utility expenses than we were before solar! Every time I talk to Convenant (which is difficult now, sine they already have my money), they "confirm" that our system is producing as designed. That may be true, but the amount they charged for the system, we've since learned, is outrageous! I highly recommend that you stay FAR AWAY from Covenant Solar. I get it that this review could be written by a competitor, so don't take my word for it. Shop around. And choose any company OTHER than Covenant.
