At the time their name was Solar Electrical Systems and they had already been in business 30+ yrs.

This is a great company to work with. They installed the system years ago, and it works really well. Recently the inverter needed replacing after 15 years of service. I called them and described the problem. They were out at my house the next day, and had my system up and running again perfectly. I was expecting to wait weeks for service. They are great!

Report
Solar Electrical Systems installed my 32-panel system in 2010. It was everything the company represented it to be. My electric bills averaged less than one dollar.

The company disconnected the panels, installed a new beam at its expense, and reconnected the panels. If you
