    On December 23, 2021, we paid Solaris $2,259.73 for a battery inverter. On August ninth of this year, after Solaris had missed multiple dates for shipping or arrival, Solaris informed us via email that the next tentative shipping/arrival date for the battery inverter was to be another five months out, and Solaris asked us how we wished to proceed.In response to their request for direction, we told them on August 17th via email to cancel our order and to return our money as soon as possible. The very next day, Solaris emailed back to say that they would process a refund.On December 26, we emailed a follow up request for the refund.It is now February 24, 2023 - which is more than a year after we paid for the battery inverter and more than six months after Solaris said they would issue a refund. Solaris has yet to issue that refund.

    On Oct 27, 2022 I placed an order for solar panel mounting materials and Solaris took my online payment in full. The website stated and states (as of this writing), "Please Note: We are currently experiencing long turnaround times due to supply chain distruptions. New orders are currently shipping between 2-3 weeks from date of purchase."I began inquiries concerning my order on November 26, 2022, Solaris doesn't answer emails requesting information on when the purchase might be shipped.

    I have ordered and paid for $986 worth of equipment from Solaris ***************** over 4 weeks ago. I have asked for shipping updates twice, with no response. I have written emails using Outlook and their website, requesting cancellation and a refund, with no response. I have also tried calling over 5 times, nobody answers! This company has taken my money for goods that will probably never arrive, so I am seeking help getting a refund. My order number is *****.

    On Oct.. 6th I placed an order with Solaris for 32 solar panels and was charged instantly for them. I knew there would be a 2 to 3 week wait for the items to ship. I reached out on Oct.25th asking for information on when it will ship. I received a response, Thank you for your order with us. We are writing to inform you of your order's estimated shipping window: On or around 11/15 Tracking information will be available and updated by 11/21 I waited till the 22nd of Nov. to reach out again. No one answers the phone and not response from my emails to them. I want a refund and will be seeking assistance from my bank as well. I have done business with them in the past, however I will not be doing or recommending doing business with them in the future.

    I am rejecting this response because: They offered to send me a different sized solar module that doesn't fit my planned mount. I told them to give me a full refund or I would be filing a complaint with the better business bureau, not sure where the confusion is in the exact resolution I want. 



    Sincerely,

    Unfortunately the modules the customer ordered were delayed by the manufacturer. We offered to switch the customer to a module that we can ship out immediately and also offered to price match. We have not heard back directly from the customer regarding this so consider the matter still open. We request that he contact us to formally cancel his order or change out his modules.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.Though I do wish for my complaint to remain for the time and money lost due to the company never delivering the promised product within the promised time.

    Sincerely,

    The customer was refunded in full due to the extended lead time.
