In 2022 Lighthouse sales was the most upfront of the companies we contacted. The location of our electrical panels on opposite sides of the house and the Austin Fire Dept rules (sadly they don't recognize that Li ion iron phosphate batteries (Enphase...) are safe indoors unlike Li ion NMC (Tesla...) which are prone to thermal runaway fires) made an installation that would meet our goals and Austin Fire rules difficult. A year later in 2023, Corey at lighthouse called us back and informed us that the new Enphase products allowed a reliable solution for us that fit with AFDs rules. This time we limited our bids to Enphase solutions. Once again Corey was the most professional of the sales people we delt with. Lighthouse's bid was competitive and we were given a substantial completion estimate of 6 to 8 weeks. I found our project manager Dale to be very responsive and the installation crew to be professional and on time. Our system was complete, producing power, and connected to PEC, exactly 8 weeks from the day our contract was signed. Kudos to Lighthouse and PEC for getting the whole job done in less time than I've heard just the utility permission to connect taking after the installation was completed. In the month since our system was commissioned we have had sunny and cloudy days, weather alerts, and even a brief grid outage. Our system has performed just as we were lead to expect. In an industry notorious for "used car sales" behavior. I have no hesitation recommending Lighthouse as professional, and reliable with fair pricing.

Thank you Lighthouse for being a honest company with integrity when everyone else is trying to scam the customer.

My husband and I wanted to add solar panels to our roof, and we're so glad we went with 512 Solar…read more They were efficient, responsive, and within budget. We did our installation in 2022 and have seen our energy bills lower than ever before! (We have some shade on our roof so we didn't do the full roof, ~20 panels or so, but it worked out well.) They did the rebate work with the city so our out-of-pocket cost wasn't exorbitant at all. Our household also recently purchased a second electric vehicle so we contacted 512 Solar again, this time for a level 2 charger installation. Once again, 512 Solar was excellent at getting our quote together, suggesting two hardwired chargers that the city does rebates on, and actually getting the work done as well. We have to do the final step with submitting the rebate paperwork to the city, I believe, but that's small beans compared to all the work that JP and Huiyun did for us at the outset. Really happy we went with these folks and will continue to recommend their business!

I had contacted several roofing companies that serviced the Houston area and selected Cool Roofs…read more They were the most professional in every way. They came and inspected the roof, provided a clear concise estimate showing all costs and did not try to coerce or apply pressure to select them. Trey Martinez is an ultimate professional and kept me up to date throughout the process, even sending me photos when necessary. Failing decking was found and replaced and photos provided of the work. Trey went out of his way to supply the color roof I wanted even though the brochure said not available in my area, so he arranged to bring them in from another city. The work was completed in a timely manner with professional workers who were mindful of the neighborhood and the yard cleanup was superb. I can highly recommend them as a roofing contractor.

Overall, a great experience from start to finish. Job well done!

Freedom Power team --…read more THANK YOU! Our system is the best advertisement you -- and Tesla -- could ask for. Our propane-generator neighbors are genuinely envious. There is no comparison. STORM TEST. Tesla installed our original Powerwall last March and Freedom Power added the extension battery this week -- two batteries now. Within hours of finishing, an electrical storm subjected the neighborhood to several hours of brownouts and blackouts. A few grow-lights flickered briefly. None of the clocks needed resetting. No noticeable latency -- Wi-Fi and everything else just stayed up. Except for the lightning and thunderclaps, we hardly noticed the storm. Rate math (FPL RTR-1 Time-of-Use). On-peak grid power runs about 29¢/kWh. Off-peak is about 6-8¢/kWh, and off-peak includes a real credit, not just a smaller charge. PRE-EXTENSION PACK. On our latest bill (1,671 kWh): only 61 kWh on-peak (3.7%) and 1,610 off-peak. The TOU structure saved us roughly $67 (July) versus the same usage with no off-peak credit. Every peak kWh we avoid is worth about 21¢ against off-peak. YESTERDAY'S LOAD TEST. Stove, hairdryer, showers, Instant Pot, TVs, computers, and air conditioning at 77°F -- and we still had 31% battery left at 9 PM, the end of the summer peak window. Under the single Powerwall we often scraped the last two hours and leaked expensive peak kWh. With the second battery, we held the whole peak on reserve with room to spare. When Elon offers vehicle-to-home (V2H) power-sharing in something nicer than the Cybertruck (wife hates the look), we'll add that to the backup stack. Solar roof tiles still feel like overkill for us -- but you've earned enough trust that we might change our minds. I already have one referral in the tunnel. I'll let you know when it lands. Our thanks to Joshua Leathers and the entire team at Freedom Solar Power for their performance and professionalism.

Matt Kenahan visited with us in our home at our convenience within a few days of submitting an online request and was ver present to coordinate all the communication and keep us well informed. Having lost major trees that did cover to roof in May 2024, the satellite views that were available were inaccurate and that made the design more of a challenge. We also had to get a new roof installed prior to start of the solar project. Having multiple surfaces due to our hipped roof allowed us to place 35 panels albeit on 6 surfaces of the roof. However, Matt got Burton Fowles working on designing and running all the reports needed for Oncor and how much energy could be expected with the placement on the roof. Once the panels arrived, it was all hands on deck. Dominic Fierro and Ryker Simmons were on the roof and in the attic installing cables, panels railing and footing and panels over multiple days, while Frank Smith the electrician was working parallel to install the power boxes and the associated connections to make it all work with Oncor. Then Pierson McKee comes to visit to assure our satisfaction and work with us on the apps available to monitor the system and deliver a goodie bag. I feel like all the people involved really care about the job they did for us and they aren't just in a hurry to get finished but rather quality work is the objective. Is is not lost on me that we are at the outer range of "local" in Bell County and they were all here and working when they said they would be. We are very pleased with the completed project and highly recommend the Austin branch of Green Power Energy!

We started noticing our lights flickering and dimming, which progressively got worse over time. We finally hired Mr. Electric to investigate, and the technician was stunned by what he found: Longhorn Solar failed to ground the system properly. The electrician explicitly told us he was amazed our house hadn't burned down and that someone didn't get hurt! Because the setup posed such a massive, immediate safety hazard, the city was called and shut off our power on the spot. We had to pay for emergency repairs and wait through a stressful city re-inspection before the power could legally be turned back on. As someone who works from home, being left completely without power was an enormous hardship and disrupted my livelihood. Longhorn Solar's sloppy, incompetent work put my family's home, safety, and jobs on the line. Do not trust this company with your electrical system.
