KW Solar

We purchased our home with KW Solar having already installed panels on the house we bought. We couldn't be more satisfied with the overall experience from our original inquiry about getting to know about solar to our visit from KW Solar rep to walk our property and show us things we didn't even konw about. Every time we've had a question we always get an answer. The panels are doing exactly what they should be doing and we are excited each month when our (negative) energy bill comes. I'm sure there's a choice in solar but after our experience with KW we would highly recommend. Having solar in the house was DEFINITELY something we talked about for the purchase of our home.

When we had roof damage from having a tree fall on our house, we decided it was a perfect time to investigate solar, since we had to have the roof replaced anyway. We also decided that we wanted to upgrade our AC/Heating system, that was about 10 years old and was starting to be problematic. We interviewed numerous companies, finding that many act as a "middle-man," which results in a much higher cost to have a system installed. We had narrowed it down to three companies, but selected KW Solar because we were impressed with their honesty and thoroughness. We were especially pleased that they were able to act as a general contractor for entire project (new AC/Heating, new roof, solar install). Brent was our main contact throughout the process, and we were extremely pleased with the quality of the work performed. The roof was replaced in less than a week, and the new AC/Heating install (including new ducting) took about one additional week to complete. The solar install capped off the project, and they finished well within the timeline that they provided. As with most construction projects, there were a few hiccups, but all were fairly minor and were handled quickly. Brent has been extremely responsive throughout the whole project, and even when we had questions after the completion of the project. Overall, we are finding the savings in our energy bills to have been fairly accurately estimated and are very happy with the results. The monthly savings in our energy bill almost completely pays for the monthly payment due on the loan for the project. And since the loan will be paid off long before the new roof, AC/Heating and solar system needs to be replaced, we feel confident that we made the right decision to do this project. We wholeheartedly recommend KW Solar, and have found all of their employees to be honest and hardworking. The quality of their work is stellar. I have uploaded a picture of our solar installation after it was completed.

We purchased a solar system from KW solar in July 2021 so it's now been 12 months since the system was turned on. No issues so far. It's been working without any faults at all since it was turned on. KW predicted that the system would generate 15264 kWh in a year and they actually produced 15685 kWh so the KW solar prediction was pretty much spot on which is great to see. Regarding the installation, everything went very smoothly. It does take a bit of time to get the permits but KW solar were upfront about that and the system was installed and operating to the schedule they gave us before we signed the contract. Installation itself took 1 day and I'm impressed with how neat and tidy the system looks on the roof. Other companies designs that we considered would have run more conduit on the outside of the roof but KW solar's design has the majority of the cables inside the attic which I think is better from both a looks and longevity of the system perspective. Would definitely recommend KW solar to others.

We would recommend KW Solar to other individuals who may be considering purchasing solar panels for their homes. We started researching solar panels about a year ago and Bill came out to our home to make a presentation. We did not move forward at that time, but contacted him again this August to discuss further. In the meantime, we had conducted a lot more research.We selected KW Solar because: 1) they responded quickly to requests for information; 2) they use some of the best materials available; 3) pricing was competitive; 4) good warranty. We did not pay any attention to all of the graphs and charts that were used to try to sell us this product. They really are useless. However, if you are considering solar, you should look at the bottom line - What will it cost me right now compared to my current energy costs and, after installation, what will my total costs be? There may be a slight increase, but consider what your electrical costs were 5 years ago and what they may be 5 years in the future. We are in our mid-sixties - so looking at the point of intersection after several years where the savings begin to outweigh the costs is not realistic for us. We were simply wanting to stabilize our energy costs which have increased steadily over the past 5 years. We opted for 100% replacement of our electricity needs. The system has just been fired up so we will not have a good record for about a year. The KW Solar staff were responsive to each contact; however, there was not follow up to insure that issues were corrected. We had to make additional contacts. We blame this simply on growing pains since the company has grown by about 400% over the past year. All in all, we would recommend them since we believe that they did take responsibility for any issues that we encountered and they did continue to respond until everything was finished.

I contacted 5 solar companies requesting an estimate for a system on a new build house. They were selected based on google reviews averaging 4.5 stars and above. Justin was the only one who responded promptly with a meeting followed by a quote and then a revision. None of the other companies even come close to his response and service. He was excellent and months ahead of everyone else. Full disclosure: I did not select KW to do the work even though their price was the lowest. I have selected another company based on integrated services with the energy consultant that I am using.
