Very professional company and did an outstanding job at installing our photovoltaic system along with a Tesla Powerwall in October 2019. First Nathan met with us in person and addressed all of our questions regarding photovoltaic systems. Once the process got rolling we had contact with Aaron who is the engineer who designed our system. He was very informative and was always available to answer our questions and concerns. Lauren, who worked in the office, kept track of the progress of our project which included obtaining permits and kept us updated. The crew that came out for installation were

Nathan Wood (Renewable Energy technologies) installed a 5kw system with Tesla battery backup. Hands down, the most professional contractor I have ever dealt with. The process was easy, the pricing competitive, and the system works exactly as advertised. Nathan's crew was friendly and professional. They installed everything in only one day and did a great job at clean up. System orientation from Sarah was also very thorough.They run a world-class operation. I couldn't be happier.

Nathan and his crew made the whole process of selecting and installing a roof PV system a breeze. On, time. On budget. And always available for questions. We couldn't be happier with Nathan or our PV system. He also helped us navigate the somewhat complicated process of setting up our system with KIUC. We highly recommend Nathan.
