Absolutely horrible customer service and a very disappointing experience…read more During an energy audit, my hardwood floor was damaged. I also discovered that the technician moved my security camera from the window to a table without asking. This was captured on my security footage. When I raised these concerns with management, I felt they were dismissed. The manager told me he believed the technician's account over mine despite the video I provided. I also informed him that I intended to leave an online review. During our conversation, he responded by saying, "I'll sue you for defamation." And, " I can't wait to see everyone on Reddit laugh at you" That response made me question whether customers feel comfortable leaving honest negative reviews after receiving that kind of warning. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company. I encourage anyone hiring these contractors to have security cameras and to document the condition of their home before and after service. In my opinion, moving a customer's security camera without permission is a serious security concern. Xcel's website has a list of companies you should use I'll provide a list below.

Photovoltaics (PV) is the conversion of light into electricity. I didn't take physics in school but…read moreI did ok in math so let's take a quantitative review on PhotonBrothers (PB). It's important to understand that PB is a installer not a manufacture. Different manufactures have different models. EnergySage.com is great for general research panel efficiency: SunPower: 22.8% LG: 22% REC: 21.7% PB is a certified installer for REC group a Norwegian company that started in 1996. My specific solar panel model number is REC355AA (alpha series with HeteroJunction HJT cell technology (RECgroup.com) My system: 14 REC x 350 watt panels producing 4,900 (4.9 kW) total solar power. To put this number in perspective, a typical 3 ton central A/C system consumes about 3 kW when it's running. Timeline it took about 3 months from initial call to certification. I went though a co-op with city of Denver (SolarUnitedNeighbors.org). Read up on "Net metering" and "Investment Tax credit ITC" renewed 26% for year 2021-2022 Everybody from sales: Krista T. Projector manager: Eric H. And installers: Jerry & Kyle they were all competent in their lane of work. They all praised their management and liked the company culture. Solar can be purchased with cash or financed with a 20-year loan just like purchasing a car or appliance. It's an investment for your house and your money saving won't break even until around year 10. Loan payment will be around $80-150 per month depending on the kW size of your system. Your electric bill will be significantly reduced to nothing but you still have to pay the $6 monthly service fee plus your Natural Gas utility bill. Most panels will have a 25 year warranty but the biggest difference is Tesla SC330 panels only guarantee Output of 80% efficiency at the end of term. REC355AA panels guarantee is at 92% efficiency.

My experience with Photon Brothers has been nothing short of infuriating. I want to be absolutely…read moreclear so nothing gets lost: the communication, customer service, and basic professionalism I received were shockingly poor, and I deeply regret choosing this company. Photon Brothers wasted 6 months of my time and cost me roughly $17,000 due to their negligence. I repeat, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CHOOSE PHOTON BROTHERS. There are many solar companies out there, take your business elsewhere!! This is a company that puts customer service LAST and will throw you under the bus and leave you hanging the when issues arise and they need to do something that inconveniences them or impacts their bottom line despite contracts, written and verbal promises and basic honorable/professional business norms. Our family moved into our new home in June and immediately began comparing solar proposals. I ultimately chose Photon because Sam Johnson (senior sales rep) appeared knowledgeable. I was explicit with Sam about the type of roof and shingle I had--I even sent him the official documentation from the roofing company detailing the type of roof and shingle. He assured me multiple times that Photon could handle it and told me he had built extra labor costs into the contract for exactly that reason. We signed a contract and approved financing. Then came the site visit with the installation supervisor, Drew Perry. I was on the roof with Drew as he inspected everything. He told me directly that the roof was suitable and we were "good to go." Every step of the way, Photon reassured me the system would be installed before year-end so I would receive substantial expiring federal tax credits. Throughout this process, I repeatedly checked in with the project manager, Kaitlyn Martinez. Responses were rare, slow, and unhelpful--but when she did reply, she also confirmed everything was on track for installation before year end. Install day--November 24--was when it all fell apart. Only that morning did the installation team realize they had completely overlooked the shingle type and couldn't install the system, even though I had disclosed this upfront and even though their own supervisor had inspected the roof in person. The install crew told me they messed up and would make it right and still get it done before year end. Kaitlyn (project manager) called--one of the only times she ever did--and assured me there would be no added cost and they would still complete the project by year end, I was reassured again that they would uphold the contract and their promises. That turned out to be untrue. After several incredibly frustrating conversations with Sam and co-owner John Johnson, where I had to constantly call them for updates, I was finally told that Photon would NOT complete the project at all. They openly admitted they made the mistake but refused to honor the contract or their repeated promises because it would cost them more in labor. John specifically told me that--even though the error was entirely on their side--they were not willing to take the financial hit to fix it and I was just out of luck. They refused any sort of compensation for my lost time and money. John initially tried to blame me because I had a difficult roof, then blamed Drew Perry (instillation supervisor), then blamed his Ops team then just told me verbatim "construction is difficult" and I need to understand that, so too bad for me. As a result, I've lost more than six months of time and a ~$17,000 tax credit, all because Photon Brothers failed to do their job, failed to communicate, and then refused to take responsibility for their own mistake. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution anyone considering this company. They overpromise, underdeliver, and when their internal failures come to light, they deflect, delay, and ultimately leave the customer holding the bag. I cannot recommend them under any circumstances.

I got the recommendation for Controlling Systems through ChatGPT and they didn't disappoint. The sales process best of the bunch. Chris, our sales rep. took the time to do a manual J measurement throughout the house to ensure we were getting the right system for the house, which none of the other contractors even considered. After showing me all the options, we went with their RUUD top of the line system which came with a multi stage furnance, variable stage AC, and a heat pump. They applied the rebates offered by Xcel, so we didn't have to wait for the rebates, we just signed over the rebates to them during the sales process. The installers were top notch, kind, and ensured they took good care of our home. I couldnt be happier and highly recommend them. From a price point, they came out thousands less than the closest competitor, and I'd note the closest competitor wasn't willing to do a transfer of the rebates. We would have had to claim those after the sale.

With our installation, they did a fabulous job. They dealt with the county - which took several months to get the permit, which they warned us about up front. Then, they installed our solar panels and the critter guard, working with the county inspector as required. The master electrician who came to hook it up was great - clearly very knowledgeable. They were also careful not to over-build the system - no sense in generating more electricity than we would ever use and get credit for. They do what they say they will do. They kept us informed at every stage of the process. They were pleasant, responsive and did great work. We highly recommend them.

DO NOT USE THEM. I highly recommend avoiding Suntalk Solar. Our experience with them has been…read moreincredibly disappointing. Initially, they promised everything we wanted to hear and even lied directly to our faces just to secure the sale. We had them install an entire solar system for our house, but a few years later, we discovered that we were misled about key aspects of the installation. Despite these issues, we attempted to work with them again to move the system to our new property. However, we were met with nothing but silence and delays, despite multiple empty promises from their manager. Their business practices are very shady, and we feel cheated. We will be sharing our experience with everyone we know and will be reporting them to the necessary authorities in Colorado, armed with video proof of their salesman's claims during the sale. Please consider this review seriously when looking for solar solutions.

Suntalk has been easy to work with, and they rewire everything, even put better insulations on the wirings. I had pigeons trying to make nests under the panels, and they put nets and guards around. Yesterday, I just realized that my SolarEdge data was not updating since March 3rd. Called Jason, and he told me how to reset the communication module, and everything is good now.
