The Solar Guys

While shopping for solar installers, I knew I wanted to save money where I could and wondered what perks I'd be missing or problems I'd be inviting if I tried to cut costs. The Solar Guys made all that easy, including the price tag. Our sales rep, Brian B, had meaningful responses to every inquiry I had and was flawless in efficient communication. I won't know for certain until a year with our system has transpired, but, after a couple months of operation, it seems to be performing just as Brian said it would. The drone operator, Jeff, was skilled, informative, and excited about his work. After the installation was complete, I realized the perks I was awarded and the problems I avoided by going with The Solar Guys. Due to foundation issues, our roof sags above the garage, right where the panels would be installed. Soren and George worked patiently and meticulously to adjust the panels so that they'd appear as one flat plane. Each time I pull into the driveway, I'm impressed by and grateful for that. Jereme, the electrician, had his work cut out for him. Our main disconnect runs through a manual transfer switch connected to a gas powered generator, which was likely more complicated than a typical day's work for him. The solar system's exterior components had to fit in a relatively small space among the cluster of other utilities coming in. I worked as a cable installer for apartment complexes for a few years and understand the details that can be skipped at this stage, leading to a finished product that works but is unsightly. Jereme mounted these components and routed the wiring so tidily and squarely that, in my mind, it was evident he approaches his practice as an artist. He had options in running the trunk of wires from the utility cluster to the panels. He could have routed some conduit around the side of the house and made his day easier. I would have been satisfied with that. However, he chose an option so difficult that I thought he would have to abandon it at some point, fishing the wires through the tight attic space between a vaulted ceiling and the roof. Again, I'm impressed and grateful each time I see it. Jereme had to come back the next day, likely because of the curveballs our home threw at him. I know he could have gotten it done the first day had he cut some corners. (He also would've saved a little time if we hadn't talked about our dogs for forty-five minutes after he pulled up.) Since the completed install, Michelle at the office has kept me, Evergy, and county inspectors in lockstep, efficiently navigating conversations and procedures. Yet again, I can only imagine the potential dead ends and confusion that I might have experienced had I gone with another installer. Instead, Michelle was in communication with me each time she was given new information. She knew I was concerned we wouldn't be up and running by the end of the year so she shared in the excitement each time something moved forward. When it was time for our inspection, the city's inspector offered a four-hour window of time in which a homeowner and the installer's technician would have to be available. Knowing that these inspectors can be . . . difficult, The Solar Guys sent a tech out to meet us. I forget his name but give him a Christmas bonus. He kindly introduced himself then sat in his van from noon until 3pm so we wouldn't miss the inspector! Unheard of. Ok, obviously I've written far too long a review but I love our home and appreciate beyond measure the care this team has put into it. We aren't wealthy. This solar installation was a leap for us that I think will pay off in long run. If we had hired anyone other than The Solar Guys, I believe I'd be questioning whether or not we made the right decision. Thank you!
