    We got our Solar installed by this company in ****** ** on April 20, 2022. It is now October 17, 2022 and it is still not working. They have not followed up on the finalized permits. Now they have been so busy to follow up with us. This should be done by now. Make sure in the contract that if its not finalized within at least 6 months maximum that you can back out of the contract and get the solar removed from your house. I would not recommend this company to any of my neighbors.

    Absolutely pathetic customer service, Ive had these panels installed for over the better part of 10 months and theyre still non-operational, I have tried to reach out about this issue every single week with a promise of a solution but none. *** left a bad review a few days ago on this site and what a convenience I get a call about how theyre FINALLY going to submit the Work Order form to the city and have the panels operating, then they proceeded to remove the bad review. Only when a bad job came back to bite them, they decided to do something, do not do work with this company, save yourself the headache and money as they still charge you for the panels even though theyre not working.All this stress to just find out theyve been lying about the city delaying the paperwork this entire time, they failed to follow through with the follow up work, so it led to a further delay, I am at the point of tearing these panels off myself and having them pick ** the panels in whatever condition they end ** in Pathetic excuse of a company, all this is going down to the Better Business Bureau, and they are going to pay for everything

    I've had my system installed for over a year and it's exceeded my expectations. I'm producing more energy than quoted and operation has been flawless. My representative, ****, did an excellent job working with me to design the perfect system. The install crew was experienced and performed very clean work. The permit was approved on first try. **************** (********, **)

    ******** introduced me to your company and your product while making a cold call and because of his excellent people skills and mastery of the subject he convinced me to listen to his presentation and finally sign up for a contract.******** was very professional and friendly. I dont have the technical and financial background and he explained both the technical and financial advantages of switching to solar energy and how your company is able to provide a customer these advantages. He also pointed out the environmental advantages of making this switch. ******** backed up his presentation with numbers, how to save me, as the customer and consumer, considerable amounts of money over the years and also being a considerate consumer as well as producer of energy.

    I had my system installed a few months ago and it's working great. I'm super happy to not be getting $350-450 bills from PG&E anymore. My last bill was $42 for gas and connection fee. **************************** ********* were and are absolutely great! They checked in and kept me in the loop for every step of installation and power up of the system. I still get calls and texts from them just checking in to make sure I'm still happy and don't have any issues. I highly recommend Better Earth Solar. I'm very happy with my entire experience.

    Very great experience and service from start to finish with Zeke at Better Earth. After speaking with multiple companies, Better Earth won my business. Installation process was fast, helpful, and professional, and was completed in only one day. Excellent customer service and highly recommend them.

    ***************** who was our rep on this install to our home was superior in the way he communicated with us and even when there was a minor issue stepped in to make sure everything was satisfactory. The install went smoothly and the team cleaned up after their work was completed.
