American Sentry Solar review

"Pressure selling and exorbitant charges are what keep this business afloat. Their plan is to trap you at home and get you to sign up for their service by portraying it as deeply discounted (from $40k to $30k) with sales incentives available for an immediate commitment. After signing the contract, I shopped about and found a rival company that could do the same KwH installation for my home with better panels for $24,500. A.S.S. also failed to answer my inquiries concerning the price and became radio silent when I exercised my right to terminate the contract within the allotted time. This is not a business I would suggest to anybody. Before going ahead with a solar installation, it is highly recommended that you do thorough research and get several quotations." - Derek P.

"I was offered a solar panel installation for my home at a price that was overpriced by $5,000, and the salesperson put a lot of pressure on me to sign the contract immediately. I did, and thankfully there is a grace period for cancellation.After doing some investigating, I found that not only did ASS/ADB fail to provide satisfactory answers to my inquiries, but two other local businesses quoted me a price of $20,000 for a system of the same size, albeit one with higher quality panels and longer manufacturer warranties. This is not a business I would ever suggest." - Erick K.

"Poor first impression indeed. A person from the company reached out to me after I submitted the form for a consultation, and we attempted to set up an appointment. However, when I called to organize the on-site analysis, the representative demanded that my spouse attend the presentation, despite my repeated assurances that I am capable of making the choice alone because of my wife's busy work schedule. It's not surprising that sales pitches often include requests for both spouses to attend in order to avoid wasting a trip. However, the initial, adamant push already reveals the depths to which companies will go in order to secure a signature. They would prefer not make the journey to offer the information to prospective clients and risk losing a solar order." - Peter V.

"Keep an eye out for potential new clients, I feel compelled to sound the alarm about this firm, which may be engaging in some unethical business practices. My bank has opened a dispute about the company's use of the deposit I made. The firm refused to return my $3300.00 deposit when I asked for it. He insisted on a down payment, else we'd miss out on the deal at the anticipated cost. My three-day cancellation window was never mentioned. He wouldn't let me even read the document before signing it. Sign at the bottom of the contracts, he said, and he'd send you a copy. I compared the bids I received from a few different firms and went with the most advantageous one. I tried canceling on the third day but got through to voicemail each time I phoned. On day four, I decided to discontinue the assignment and informed the firm through email. Then they told me they wouldn't be able to refund my money since they couldn't get out of the contract. My money is being threatened with loss since I sent my desire to cancel after the three-day deadline had passed." - Rylan O.

"Be wary of the cost! When we began researching solar panel installation companies, American Sentry was among the first we contacted. I had said that we are interested in data rather than a sales presentation. The salesman who approached us seemed almost irritated when we refused to make a decision right then. Their costs are twice as high as the market norm, according to my investigation. While the organization itself may be excellent, their sales practices are deplorable, and their pricing are outrageous. Please check into this more and provide other quotations before committing to them." - Mario B.
