Report
They were not very honest in their proposal. SREC estimates were less than half of what was projected. Took forever to get SREC payment. Squirrels are a constant problem. They eat the wires and shut the system down. WCP wants a ridiculus amount of money to repair. They never did replace several cracked panels. Estimated output is woefully short of what was projected. Customer service was horrendous. Would NEVER recommend this company.

Don't use this company. They are impossible to work with and will find any way to bill you. When the system went down, it took them over 2 months to check it out. Squirrels chewed a wire and my roof. Then it took them 2 weeks to get me an estimate to remove, repair, install the panels, add squirrel guard. We agreed on a price and they removed the panels. The roofer had to remove the flashing and tracks to replace the roof. Now WCP wants double our agreed price to reinstall even after I offered to reintall the flashing and tracks myself. They do not negotiate in good faith.

When the panels stopped working, customer service is horrible!!! Extremely slow response (over a month) and call backs. Don't bother with this company. Go somewhere else.
