"Into the void and beyond!.... OVER the bad project delivery and customer service from this firm. They made too many promises and haven't kept any of them. They fail to update their clients on the status of their projects. It took us a long time to install solar panels on our roof. The company's last-minute cancellations and permission rejections due to petty faults pushed delayed the start of the project by months. There was zero customer service savvy and zero desire to empathize. When a call is shifted from one department to another, there is no explanation of the status of the project or the reason for the transfer. The promised supervisor callback almost never occurred. It was shockingly common for customer service reps to have a bad attitude while answering calls. There's been zero interest in explaining the delay. Do not invest in this business. Terrible." - Bryan M.
"It's been 8 months since the contract was signed. They are terrible at communication, not answering calls, texts, or emails. When they finally came out to start work in August, we were told it would take 3 days. Wrong, they came back a week later to finish the job, but to no avail. I called them the next week to see what was going on. And the project manager said: "I don't know what to tell you. What, I'm spending $50,000. We're still waiting for this nightmare to be over." - Colton O.
"After having this solar for little over a year, I have reached out to many different managers. To begin with, for over a year, three of my panels that were supposed to be "monitored" by Alternate Energy Company were inoperable. Their monitoring system revealed the non-functioning panels whereas mine did not. Second, the installers would leave the company's headquarters travel the nine hours to my residence, where they would then labor for 11 hours a day. Due to exhaustion, work errors increased among staff members. Due to improper installation, I had to replace my whole living room's ceiling. Third, I was charged $1000 for the year's worth of power despite the fact that the manager assured me the system would meet all of my needs. I paid close to $45,000 with this firm for a 10KW system. I CANNOT VOTE FOR THIS." - Eric F.
"I've never had service this bad. I had my system put in place three years ago, and ever since then, I've gotten a massive bill that just seems to grow higher from there. Several phone calls to Alternate Energy Company have been made by me already. There has been no response to our calls, and no action has been taken. Have repeatedly requested a management call and received no response. They informed me I had enough panels to reduce my monthly payment. The opposite is true. I cannot think of a worse business to have dealt with." - Parker J.
"My experience with this firm has not been the most professional. Been waiting for over three weeks for a response to a messed-up installation. What was installed on my roof was different from what I authorized. Nobody bothered to tell me that the city had requested certain modifications to the blueprints. The firm representative also neglected to specify the location of the conduit lines and converter box during the sight inspection. The installers, I must add, were decent human beings doing an honest trade. The front desk staff has to be more open and attentive if I am to suggest this business to my friends and family." - Sean T.
"At first, I looked into one of the major national firms when I chose to go solar, but then I read all of the complaints. Then I looked into smaller, regional businesses (which seem to be the best option) and came across Alternate Energy Company. They weren't the cheapest, but their reputation for excellence translated into a job well done. The project manager kept me in the loop and the salesperson did a fantastic job of breaking down the many ways in which my system might be set up. The installers were top-notch as well. They worked quickly and efficiently, completing the project in only two days. With Alternate Energy Company, I know I'll get excellent service after the fact because of their installation warranty, production guarantee, and positive ratings." - Oliver G.
"Alternate Energy Company performed a fantastic job installing the solar panels on our metal roof. Everything went well since they worked with their roofing partner to open the roof for the installation and then seal it back up again afterward. We're able to keep tabs on production thanks to the app, and everything is running well. Strongly suggested is Alternate Energy Company." - Miguel E.
"What a fantastic time! The price estimate I received from Alternate Energy was in the center of the range I was given by other firms, but their salesperson was the one who ultimately won me over. He was quite forthcoming in his answers to my many queries. I feel great about my choice. Alternate Energy asked for my opinion at every turn and kept me in the loop the whole time. They followed my suggestions and got the job done on schedule. Excellent business." - Kyle C.
"My sales representative, convinced me to choose Alternate Energy after I went through all the stores looking for solar panel suppliers. He was fine, very knowledgeable, and patiently answered all of my questions. Being able to control the power of my panels from anywhere in the world is a huge plus." - Kaden W.
"The Alternate Energy Company team I dealt with has excellent knowledge and excellent efficiency. Before anything else could be done, I needed roofing work, and the communication between the two businesses was excellent. Given the weather and the bureaucratic red tape, things moved as rapidly as they could. Additionally, the technicians were very skilled and respectful of my house. Alternate Energy Company is an excellent choice." - Caden A.
