My experience with Experienced Solar was great! Kevin, the owner was very informative. The Office Manager, Jeff, offered good information and facilitated expedited and thorough job production. The field worker did an outstanding job also, and offered good advice while he was at my property. We scheduled the job several months in advance and when it came time for the job to begin, it started on time and finished six days earlier than anticipated. I would recommend Experienced Solar to anybody, especially those without solar experience. Thank you for a job well done!

People give out 5 star reviews way to easily now a days. As long as the experience is reasonably ok and nothing went terribly wrong, anyone will give 5 stars. This is not one of those reviews. This is a real 5 star review. It is one of those rare and special experiences for which 5 star reviews should be reserved. I hope you will take the time to read it and judge for yourself. When I went to Experienced Solar, I told them I wanted a very large solar array with a backup battery. They tried very hard to talk me out of this. They explained that a backup battery is very expensive and provides little

Experienced Solar designed and installed the perfect solar system for my Santa Fe home. Day or night, rain or shine, we have plenty of power, including our needing to run air conditioners. Kevin and his team provide exceptional, personalized service and they really care about quality. I highly recommend Experienced Solar.

Experienced Solar did a wonderful job. It was a pleasure having Evan install the system and watching Jeff set up the monitoring system. Kevin answered all my questions and was always available to do so. I am happy with their work and would hire them again.
