Paul Morrison, CO

Great company. I felt they fully explained everything to us,We had several issures with Xcel energy but they helped me thru them. Their people were always on time for appointments and didn't use a 3 hour window for arrival times

Ion Solar was understanding with the delays that were incurred because of a resent hail storm. The installation team was fast and knowledgeable able to answer all of our questions. I would highly recommend this company.

All I can say is Excellent Service in all phases from start to finish. Ion's Professional Team worked with us, answer all of our questions and show up 15 minutes before all our meetings with them.

Ion Solar is a great company. Their employees - from the sales staff to the on site installation resources - are kind, professional, knowledgeable and well informed. They are focused on getting the system installed and functional as quickly and efficiently as possible, while also willing and able to answer any questions one might have during the process.

I am in Albuquerque. The cost wasn't the cheapest but the Company was willing to work with me to run the conduit in the wall for a seamless look. Their electrician did a really awesome job. However, while the installation was great, the sales was terrible. My recommendation is not to use this company unless you've become an expert in what a kwh is and exactly how many you need. I was naive and thought I could rely on "professionals" to correctly calculate what I needed. Well a year later I am at 70% coverage when I was told I'd be at 120%. Going through my paper work, they didn't estimate how we discussed and left the vital summer months out of the calculation. When I called to inquire, I just received people willing to sell me more rather than tell me what happened. I had to figure it out on my own and have never heard back from them regarding a solution. Every time I get a bill where I have to pay, I just think how horrible this experience has been and how I wished I did my due diligence upfront rather than relying on someone else to do the right thing. Don't make my mistake!

All and all the experience has been outstanding. I love the power output. My only complaint would be the constant phone calls.

Easy process that just made sense. I own the system. It was just installed. The panels look great. The team has been very professional all along the way.

Working with Ion Solar was a pleasure. Everyone was patient, kind & considerate, & answered all my questions. M. Rowley made sure I understood the step by step process & understood the new terminology I was learning. I received my 1st electric bill 12/7/18 after one month of being on line with Ion Solar. I had a 53.00 credit! That made my day! One less bill to pay! I have not had any problems with my new system, I don't notice a difference in power service.

I would not use this company if I was you! I did my research on ION Solar when we were first approached by them, and felt that they would be a good company to proceed with. I was very wrong. We have had issues from installation: - We live in a new build. Instead of waiting a year to get an accurate idea of what our energy usage is, they came to our neighborhood after 4 months. They said that they could accurately give an estimate of what our usage is because they can check average usage of other houses similar to ours with the utilities company. We moved in to our house late October, so we had not used AC yet. We were assured that this would be accounted for in our quote. It was not, so our quote was horribly off the minute we started using AC. - They sent a new electrician out to our house to set up the panels. He used up our entire breaker box instead of installing a new one (so if we ever need to add anything, we have to install our own box), and he forgot to turn all of the power back on when finished, costing us hundreds in frozen food because the breaker he forgot to turn back on was for our freezer. - Our $500 check that we got for covering the first year of payments took months to get to us when we were promised that it would be sent as soon as the system was up and running. - Our system was turning off every day during the summer from 11am-7pm. ION Solar didn't notice that there was an issue until I called them because our system wasn't producing any solar energy. It took them three weeks to send someone out to look at it. When I asked them to reimburse us for part of the bills that we received during the time our system was unknowingly turning off each day, I was told they would not reimburse because “they cannot guarantee the service of the solar panels”. - Our system still is not generating the power we were promised. In our initial quote, our sales rep, Brian N. promised that our solar panels would produce 98% of the energy we used. They don’t even come close to that. When I spoke with the regional manager, he said that our sales rep shouldn’t have quoted so high and that solar panels rarely produce that high of a percentage. Our roof is pretty maxed out and only has room for one more panel, so the likelihood of us coming close to the % of solar usage that we were quoted is pretty slim in my opinion. - When my husband went up to the roof to put on Christmas lights (and take down the red tape that ION solar had left after installation) he noticed that there was nothing that looked like a critter guard on our solar panels. This was something he had discussed with the sales rep and was told would be installed. We are a young family, and are trying our hardest to make the best financial decisions right now, to help set us up for a better future. Although we liked the environmentally friendly aspect of solar panels – this was largely a financial decision. Based on the quote that we were provided, it would have saved us money to switch to solar panels and have a (as quoted) $20-$30 utility bill and then the bill for the solar panels. However since our system does not adequately fit our house usage in the way we were promised when we signed up, we are still paying a decent utility bill on top of the monthly payment for the solar panels. We are not planning on this being our forever home, so we most likely won’t be here after we have the solar panels paid off. At this rate, it is going to cost us more annually to have the solar panels then it would to have just paid our utility bill. We honestly probably would have held off to purchase the solar panels until later if we had been given some accurate quotes on what it would have cost us each month. Other neighbors agree that they would not have purchased the solar panels from ION Solar if they knew that the savings would not be what we are quoted, as they all are having issues with their solar panels producing what we were told they would produce. I really like to give people/companies the benefit of the doubt. I have tried to be patient and logical while working through our issues with ION Solar, but after 8 months of dealing with issue after issue, it is very hard to remain optimistic about the situation. I am very hopeful that the solar panels will build up enough stored power in the winter/spring to offset our usage and bring us closer to what our quote was, but am very doubtful that that will happen based on the info that I have so far. I know that quotes can be off, but when there are at least five families that I know of that have the same issue we are experiencing, that is more than a bad quote, that is a deceptive marketing strategy. If ION Solar is not checking the quotes that their sales reps are providing to make sure that they are reasonable, then they should be responsible for trying to make it up somehow to those of us who signed up under false pretenses.

It was really pleasure working with Ion solar guys. Brian made it very easy to understand complete process, Samantha managed this project very well with great professional integrity. From start to end everything was handled very carefully and nicely. If anyone looking to have solar I would highly recommend talking to ION guys.
