    I have been a customer in Aurora, installed 7.5kw system with 22 panels from 2019. There were some…read moreissues with the wirings, but their support was awesome. Jason has been my main guy, and he was so responsive, and easy to work with. They came and fix every single issue that I had. 2 years ago we had a huge hail, but none of the solar panels were damaged. But we had to claim insurance and take the panels off and put them back on. 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. SunTalk has great service! Thank you, Jason!!

Since then - I have become even more of a fan as we had hail damage on our roof, causing us to have to remove our panels, plus when we needed to get a new SolarEdge unit, and just other questions when we notice our Solar not producing - and each time, they were extremely responsive and got us back in service with minimal downtime. In particular, Jason has been so good to work with and he explains things so well. I appreciate and highly recommend them for your Solar!

    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.

    Lindsay was amazing from the start. When we first meet it was like we had known each other for…read moreyears. For her being new to selling the product I believe she did an amazing job. Of course, getting the permit and dealing with our utility company took a while, so that was something. Gary the owner even personally reached out to my husband and I to make sure we were happy along the process. Our basement light switches went out the day our solar was finally up, which made us think something happened by the solar panels. Trevor their electrician personally drove all the way from Fort Collins to help us out. I was amazed at the time and compassion Trevor puts in to make sure the customer has no more questions and that everything is working before he leaves. What I also appreciate about this company is that they send you weekly progress report emails for you to evaluate the process of the previous week. The project managers make sure to reach out periodically to make sure everyone knows what is going on. We had a couple small issues and Gary personally reached out to us again to make sure he could address and fix our problems immediately. I couldn't be more appreciative than having an owner who completely cares about their customers and not just making a dollar. Thank you, Gary and Trevor, for going way above and beyond to make sure our family was satisfied and happy.

    Don't use!! The summer 2025 I signed a contract with smart…read morewave solar and was told that the solar panels could go on my barn which has a large South facing roof, and I was told the project would be finished by December 31 for the tax credit. After signing the contract I was then told that they could not place the panels where we had agreed and they would have to go on the roof of the house with most of the panels facing either East or West decrease in the efficiency of the system by approximately 15%. They did not have the project installed by December 31, but sent me a letter anyway that stated it was installed and recommended I give that to my tax person. In essence asking me to commit tax fraud. As part of the project to power walls were to be installed. They install them on the front of my house. I complained and they told me (with much attitude) that I had signed off on the plans. I had signed off on the plans thinking I was only signing off on placement of the solar panels and as a layperson I could not find the power walls on the plans. Finally after months of complaining someone told me where the power walls were on the plans and they were supposed to go on the back of the house to begin with. So, there electricians cannot read the plans either? Additionally, the electricians had a put a new ground in and instead of calling 811 to find where the lines were they spiked their ground through the main power line to our house. I have been in contact with one of the owners of the company and I will email him but not get a response for weeks. The last time I contacted him 3 weeks went by without a response and finally he said "sorry I was out of town". I wish I could take 3 weeks off without contacting my clients. Now, 10 months after signing the contract all of the solar panels are still not installed and all of the wiring to the solar panels still goes to the front of our house. 1. I feel as though I was lied to multiple times 2. Their own people cannot read or do not care about the plans for the project. 3. Very poor customer service from both being given attitude for their mistakes and extended periods of time with no contact at all.
