Report
YellowLite installed my solar system (36 panels, 91% of my energy requirements) in mid-Feb 2020. I have not paid a utility bill since then, and still have a $500 credit on my net metering. Not bad for an all-electric tri-level home, where I keep the AC set on 72F all summer..... I used the EnergySage website to gather quotes and do my research. Of the four quotes (one outside of EnergySage), YellowLite was the best system in terms of energy generation, as well as least expensive by a wide (about 20K) margin. The installation crew were very efficient and professional, as were all the folks who

Yellowlite is very good at design and quality of the installation. They provided very detailed electrical diagrams of the overall design. I had an 8.06 kWh system installed and the generation rate, so far, is excellent! It will be even better once I fell/trim a couple trees. My concerns are in their communication practices. I ask questions that go unanswered until I follow up 1, 2, 3 or more times.
They have online tools (BuilderTrend) to enable easier communication with customers, but it seems that unless you email the manager, you get no response. If I were someone with less technical knowledge

I had a 5kW system installed on my roof in 2014. When people ask me about it I remind them it is an investment. Any good investment takes time to pay off. Some months are better than others and some summers are better than others. I do believe the solar install does provide a great deal of relief for the most part. The install was quick, efficient and done well. The inspector that was sent out was an old neighbor and he even said about how impressed he was with the quality of work that was done. I highly recommend Yellowlite for your solar needs.

Yellowlite installed a 5 KWH system on my roof a couple years ago. They were polite and professional during the installation process, and they gave me a reasonable price. However, the battery back up installation that I paid an extra $2000 for is worthless after 3 years. It powered my house recently during a test "outage" for me for 20 minutes, under low power consumption. There have been other bugs in my system which have crippled it sometimes for weeks at a time. It is generating power, to a degree, but I think that it will take longer to earn back my initial investment in it.

YellowLite hasn't responded to my repeated messages both by telephone and email. Next time, I will look for a more responsible installer who I can count on.
