Solar States

• Solar energy contractor

"Having gone through the process of getting quotes from a couple of times from various contractors - I can say that my experience with Solar States was much more pleasant than what I recently experienced. Let me go through some of the steps with Solar States and contrast it with what I experienced tonight with a competitor. For one, we did the entire consultation online and over the phone. Two - there were no gimmicks - I received a PDF quote and there was none of price estimate flux writing on a legal pad adding up various costs going from $K all the way down to $K. It was a simple quote with not a lot of gimmicks in terms of trying to give me sticker shock to only unveil the actual price they were able to complete the work for. Three - The process was simple. 1/2 hour quote and no pressure. They even recommended that I might want to look at a PECO energy assessment or insulation to help save on energy costs if I wasn't ready to drop thousands of dollars on a solar project. Great advice! While I cannot speak for the overall quality of the work they do - I will speak to their professional manner. My experience in dealing with them makes me much more likely to do so in the future. My contrasting experience tonight compels me to give Solar States a shout-out for not wasting a bunch of time on a high-pressure sales pitch and just being professional and addressing my request for a quote and keeping things short, sweet, and simple. The fact that they weren't trying to pressure me or use sticker-shock leads me to believe they are probably a better bet."

"Solar States did a great job with planning and installing my solar panels. They (Dan Fischl was my rep) worked with me to come up with the right number and adjusted as needed when I decided to put in a skylight. They took care of all the paperwork with PECO and kept in touch with me through the entire process. After installation, there was an issue with one of the panels getting in the way of opening the skylight. Solar States sent a tech out to fix the problem the next day. I love the savings on my electricity bill. I highly recommend Solar States!"

"Love Solar States. After investigating five solar installers, I chose them even though they were not the lowest bid. I was willing to pay a little extra because they are a Philadelphia based B-corp. The references were perfect and they've been doing this for a long time. My salesperson, Dan, is a true expert in solar and answered all our questions and kept me informed over the whole project. TIP: if you can afford it, finance it yourself using a home equity loan. That gives you the best payback. My neighbor (who went with another solar supplier) was told by PECO that they could only install enough solar panels to meet about % of their annual usage due to a system limitation. Since we're on the same circuit, that worried me! But Solar States has direct contacts at PECO and they resolved the issue for me and my neighbor (still using the other company). Now we both have %+ of our annual usage generated by the sun! When it finally came time to do the install, they were so quick. Just two days! Patrick was the lead and he really worked his butt off to make sure that everything was installed properly and looks great. The whole crew was super nice and they cleaned up everything on the way out. We hope to add a Powerwall next--if Tesla will ever deliver it. It's been my only disappointment and that's outside of Solar States control. Soon, I hope."

"If you are reading this than you may be considering renewable energy for your home. Speaking personally, I have had a wonderful experience with Solar States. The staff are competent and the experience was really informative. At all stages of the process, the organization kept me informed and engaged. The organization was able to support me in my effort to generate % of my energy demand from my roof. The feeling of being independent for my energy needs is wonderful. A BIG Thank You Solar-States for your support before, during, and after installation. I'm proud to recommend Solar States to anyone considering residential solar energy!

"We just finished going solar with Solar States. They were very easy to work with and professional at every step of the process. Everyone we encountered was exceptional at their job. They are also a B-Corp company!"
