      We have been in contact with the company. We have tried to come to a resolution and things just keep getting prolonged. Our roof is continuing to leak with every rainfall. We are at a loss and not sure where to go from here.

      This is an unfortunate situation. We definitely have to bear responsibility as the contractor of the project.


      The manufacturer of the racking attachment supplied the incorrect screws for the project. Our installers unknowingly installed them. The screw installed is a self tapping screw that removed too much of the metal when installed so that an improper grip was delivered during the installation. The correct screw is a piercing screw with more threads. I have attached the letter from the manufacturer taking responsibility. Working together with the manufacturer, their engineers approved 2 fasteners for us to use to replace the existing fasteners. One option was a slightly larger piercing screw that would have used the original hole as a pilot. These are the same, but upgraded screws that their roof is installed with. The second fastener option was to use the existing holes from the installed screws and insert a rivet. Both of these options we and the manufacturer believe would be great upgraded options.


      The ******* didn't agree and have understandably lost faith in our competence as this may come off as industry jargon or perceived as excuses. We have agreed at our expense to replace the roof under the solar arrays. The time delay is getting all this color matched, exact measurements and manufactured to the project.


      The re-roof is currently scheduled for June 7th and June 8th.


      We install hundreds of projects a month, this one is an unfortunate outlier. It may not feel like it, but we are working diligently to get this project installed to the ******* expectations. We have had our owner and top management onsite. Everyone here as well as at the racking manufacturer is well aware of the situation and we are excited to see it come together this week. 


      Hopefully it goes well an we receive a response back with a positive outcome.

      We have had solar panels intstalled at our home for over a year, 7 months ago, we reported leaks in our roof after the roofers (Allied Roofing ###-###-####) installed our roof prior to the solar panel installation. Sustainable Energy systems dispatched the roofers to fix the leak. The roofers had to remove the panels from our roof, and they advised they put a new roof down. Less that 2 weeks later, the roof leaked again, this time in another room (daughters) much worse than the origional leak, not to mention the skylight dome in our upstairs bathroom was not, and still is not, completely attached so there is a gap between the dome and our bathroom exposed to the elements. We called Sustainable energy back to report the leak, they dispatched another roofer from Allied who came to inspect, at which he told my wife that the leak was old and had already been there! Side note, we had just refinanced our home in the summer of 2023, at which we have a licensed contractor who can corroborate that the leak was caused by the roofers. We then call Sustainable energy back to let them know the issue persists, and they keep telling us they will send someone, but noone ever comes. This started in January, and now we are halfway through April. Our roof is still not fixed, our skylight dome is still detached, the solar panels are still laying in our backyard, such an inconvenience as we have to walk around them to access our car, i cant cut the grass, and my dog has been cut TWICE by the equipment laying around. Not to mention the 200 + dollars a month we make off of the energy produced through our panels. We would like any assistance in rectifying the situation as these companies do what they please without any compensation to those they wronged.

      I was at Ms. ******* house on Wednesday.
      The original roofers were ****** who contracted I believe **** **** ******* ********** to perform the work. They did a poor quality roofing installation using SBS rolled roofing which isn't supposed to be used on zero degree roofs. Her roof leaked after this installation around her chimney. 
      We no longer work with ****** as a consulting company as they have dissolved and left us with a bunch of problem projects where they performed work or made promises outside the scope of solar. Much of this work seems to be done with the lowest cost contractor.
      We removed the solar array and we worked with our in house roofing division to see what is going on. The foreman on site removed the rolled roofing and discovered that the sheathing was rotten and not repaired during the first re-roof, especially around the chimney. Our foreman made repairs to that, unfortunately, they installed SBS rolled roofing again. They fixed the original leak but caused new leaks around the skylight.
      At our cost, we installed new wedge rafters to create a slope to her roof. We installed new 7/16" OSB decking, We installed the proper membrane product, EPDM. We installed a new curb and a new skylight. We installed crickets around the chimney and the skylight to re-direct the water. We installed a new attic fan. We removed all unnecessary roofing penetrations. We installed new parapet flashings. We installed all new vent flashings. 
      This was performed the day after I went on site. 
      We will now re-install the solar and fix the drywall.
      We did not cause this problem as we never sold or contracted a re-roof with Ms. *******. Our only mistake was allowing our 3rd party solar consulting companies to perform re-roofs with out us quality controlling the work before the installation. It is projects like these that has changed SES policy to only perform solar installation on our own roofing departments work, vetted roofers, or existing roofs that have been leak proof for 1 or more years through all seasons. 

      I hope this effort is appreciated as it was a very expensive upgrade for us to perform at no charge. I hope its also noticed that there are true accountable experts here at SES at the top of the organization. 

      This was definitely not an ideal experience, Ms. ******* has been very patient, understanding and friendly during the whole process. I appreciate her persistence in working with us to get this project right. I know its work she didn't plan on doing. 

      We have a few more steps, but I think we've turned this project into a worry free, maintenance free project for many years to come.

      I'd be curious to know if ****** has been any help and what her experience has been with them during this process. 
      Please upload this to the site so others can view it. (Photos attached)

      I had my panels installed by them May of last year. The entire process took over 8 months. I was promised a grant from my county to pay 10k. This was supposed to go towards the 28k cost for the panels. I have been waiting months for my grant and finally I called my county office. They told me that Sustainable Energy never filled out an application and was never approved. Therefore they should have never gone through with installation. So now I am stuck with a 28k bill. They illegally installed panels on my house promising me back something that now I will never get because they did not file the proper paperwork. I will be seeking legal action if this is not resolved.

      Hello, I believe Mrs ******* wrote this before she understood all the parties involved and who is responsible for what.

      It's a confusing situation because she worked with a consulting "sales" company called ****** who got her to sign a contract for solar. 

      that contract is with ******* who owns and finances the system until its paid off. 

      ******* hired ****** and ****** hired ***** workeman to sell solar to Nicole. 

      ******* hired us to build it. We did our job as contracted. No where in the contract does it say she is entitled to any grants.  The only incentive mentioned in the contract is the federal tax credit. 

      ***** workeman promised her these grants on the side in emails, text messages and verbally. 

      The grant she mentioned has been closed for 2 years and is rarely ever funded. Someone should get on PG County for advertising a grant with no funds available. That would be like me advertising solar for sale knowing I had no intentions of ever being able to get solar panels. 

      ***** most likely sold this not knowing that the grant had no funding. I'm sure he didn't mean to do this, but should have done his homework. That is on his training and the leadership at ****** should be held responsible. 

      Also, ***** no longer works for ******.

      We have complained about our roof being incomplete for the last 4 months and have been neglected. No one has come to complete the job and are ignoring our calls and emails because they feel they are not at fault. There is still remaining work to be done to our roof that they said they would come and complete and have yet to do it. We have started paying for solar panels that were installed by them already but we are paying for incomplete work right now.

      Hello, I have researched your project and it looks as though we completed a roofing installation on 8-24-23. 
      All shingles were removed, rotten plywood replaced, new drip edge, new chimney flashings, new synthetic felt, new ice and water shield, new ridge vent and new shingles.
      It would help me get to the bottom of this situation if you could explain in detail what is unfinished. Include photos if possible. If you could also give me the names, numbers and times that you called us and were ignored. I'd definitely like to have a conversation with whoever is ignoring you.
      Thanks!

      The service/repairs department is unreachable and does not return calls. I have been trying to schedule service since June. The installation in 2015 was outstanding and even my roofer gave high compliments to the installation quality! However, two of the installed modules now do not send data to the optimizer - might be a connector problem or a module problem or an optimizer problem. I called in June and spoke to someone in service/repairs who said they were too backed up to schedule but confirmed the problem and said it is under warranty. They never got back to me. I then called on dozens of occasions over the next 3 months until now and not a single time did the service/repairs department answer, on any weekday, at any time during business hours. I left messages some of the time, maybe a dozen times scattered across the last 3 months. I also talked to the customer service department several times and each time, they promised to immediately let the repairs agent know and ask them to call me back. I have after all of that never once been called back to schedule the repair. As far as I can tell, repairs and warranty service is all a fiction, it doesn't actually exist. It seems it would be so easy for someone to come out to check on it and if it's a connector problem, would be fixable in just a few minutes on the spot, and if something else, then they could let me know the diagnosis and a timeline for getting the parts and being able to do the work.

      Attached is a copy of the proposal which was carried out and contains the warranty on the third page - shows the company warrants workmanship for 10 years from the date in 2015 and the components are warranted by the manufacturers for longer periods. The company already admitted that the service is covered under warranty and I am sure they will be agreeable to that. The difficulty has been that the company is completely unresponsive regarding scheduling and performing warranty service, such that it is impossible to actually get that service.

      For ******* ********, I really want to get him taken care of. 

      I also want to know what number he has been calling and who he has been talking to. Sounds like I may have someone I need to re-train or replace. 

      Our Service number is either

      301-788-4003 (I believe Option 4)

      or 240-356-3637 (direct)

      I'll have someone reach out in the meantime to get his experience.

      Complaint: ********



      In answer to the question, I called the business number 301-788-4003 option 4 for service on dozens of occasions between June and October without getting a single call back. I also sometimes selected option 1 instead to talk to someone since nobody answered option 4 nor returned messages left on option 4. Several times that way I was able to talk to someone in sales (option 1) who promised that service would call me back and they would personally talk to the service scheduler to call me back, but I never got any call backs.

      More recently, after having posted the complaint, I did get a call out of the blue, after I had given up, from Jeannette ******* and I have been working with her to schedule repairs. She has been responsive. Repairs were scheduled for January 9 but that turned out to be too rainy and windy. I never got any call or notification that it was being postponed, but obviously it should have been postponed given the weather that day, and nobody showed up, which under the circumstance was to be expected. Then there was no attempt to reschedule until I called after a few days asking if it was be rescheduled, and it wasn't, there were no notes of any sort, so Jeannette rescheduled it for me for next week.

      I will be able to update this complaint as resolved, not yet, but AFTER the repairs are completed and it works properly (maybe next week if I am so fortunate!) and it should stand for visibility so that readers can see the type of service that SES provides and that it took this complaint to initiate the repair process. To recap, the install workmanship was terrific and everything was very good in the sales and install side, the problem has been the extreme difficulty in getting repairs during the warranty period.



      Sincerely,



      ******* ********

      Thanks for the detailed response! It was very helpful to us. It is definitely not our intention as a company for the phone not to be answered and you to get called back when they feel like it. We currently have a team of people in scheduling to answer phones Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. Management has been operating under the assumption that the phones were being answered and people were getting appointments. You've helped us to identify a personnel, management and a systematic problem that we are sorting out to provide better service going forward.

      SES has been around for 16 years and has been in pretty high demand the last 2 years, we now have over 7000 systems to maintain, as well there are 10's of thousands of customers in our area who were built by now bankrupt or closed companies like sungevity, nrg, suntuity, sigora, sunedison, pink energy, code green, direct energy ... and more. We are committed to building out a strong service department with trained technicians to service the industry into the future. There's nothing worse than an expensive solar array with monthly payments that doesn't work.

      Thanks for your patience and diligence.

      We've been working with Sustainable Energy Systems (hereafter SES) to have a solar energy system installed on our roof. Unfortunately, they've made several errors during the installation process. While we can appreciate that mistakes happen, our chief complaint is that they've proven unresponsive and/or make false promises to contact us whenever we reach out. We are demanding accountability because 1) we've already spent ~$24k on a solar system that has (since its installation on May 23rd) produced no energy and 2) we're frustrated that we are chasing them to rectify their errors.

      A recent timeline:
      -On June 27th, the roof with newly installed solar (May 23rd) began leaking. We contacted the company and it turns out solar installers left a gap between two panels directly above an exhaust fan while also removing the cap from exhaust, thus pooling all water down the exhaust fan.
      -On June 30th SES sent two roofers to rectify leak. They fixed the leak but needed to make cuts in the ceiling drywall of the bathroom as well as remove the light fixture to make repairs. They promise someone will come to fix drywall "within a week." Nobody has come as of the time of this writing (August 2, 2023) despite our calling many times to report the issue.
      -In the meantime, on July 25th the electrical inspector came to assess if the solar installation was done properly and ready to be connected to the grid. The inspection failed because SES installed the energy meter too close to a fence. SES promised to be in touch "within a day or two" to reschedule the Service Team to rectify the issue. For this issue, we've also made several attempts to contact SES
      -Despite repeated calls and emails to SES, we have heard nothing from the company about when they will be out to move the meter and to fix the hole in the drywall.

      It seems as though all her information is correct. I am really not sure what took so long for us to get these things done for her. It really isn't the normal situation. I would like to say that one of the owners of our company went out personally to fix the leak.

      It does look as though her drywall was repaired on December 12th and the system has been up and running since September 29th. So I think the situation is resolved.

      I would be wondering what number(s) she was calling, who she is talking to and what days she tried to call. So we can improve our communication and follow through.

      This job was sold by a company called Soleil, so it is possible that she was calling them. I'd like to find out. 

      I'd also like to know if anything is still out standing

      Started solar panel project & signed contract in April of 2022. Was told it would be a few months before install. After 7 months of waiting, I was finally told my project had been lost due to someone leaving the company and was scheduled for installation in December of 2022.

      System was installed and "commissioning" was complete. Immediately I noticed there was an issue. The mobile app told me there was and the system showed an error light.

      Contacted the company and was told it was because we did not have PTO (permission to operate) from the power company yet. Received PTO from power company in January 2023. System was turned on. Still was not working.

      Contacted the company again. They said it was just a communication issue and the system was producing. Communication card would be replaced. Actually promised by them it was producing. It was not.

      Went all of February with a non functioning system. Waited to get bill to prove it was not working. Contacted the company again. Finally got a technician to come out on 3/14.

      Replaced communication card and he found that all the panels were wired incorrectly. I was then told the system had to pair. Called the next day because it was still not working. I was told it might take one more day and I would receive a call the next day (3/16). Did not get a call.

      Tried to call Friday 3/17 with no answer. Tried calling again 3/20 and again no answer. System is still not working. Finally got a call back and was told the inverter is bad and they are now waiting for a new one to be delivered. No ETA.

      They sent the lender notice of completion back in December so I have been paying for on a 43,000 dollar loan for something that does not work, on top of paying for my full electricity bill. How was the commissioning completed if it was wired incorrectly? Why was it marked as complete to the lender when it has never functioned? Why didn't they listen in December when I first reported issues?

      Solar System was designed by *************************** and installed by Sustainable Energy System. The salesman ***** told me the system would generate enough electricity to cover all my needs and I would not receive any additional charges from PECO. Todate I have been receiving invoices for PECO in varying amounts. I have contacted *************************** (***** Consultants LLC ************) several times to have this resolved. ***** has responded to me early on and reiterated that I should not be receiving invoices from PECO. ***** has stopped returning phone calls.

      Business Response

      Date: 02/07/2023

      There are 3 parties involved in this sale. Unfortunately the complaint is with the consulting company *****, so I feel this is mis directed. We are just the builder.

      the Signed contract is with Sunnova, which is the lending institution.  I've attached a screen shot of the contract. They offer a production estimate and a production guarantee. 

      The economics of the System are around the cost of the system vs the amount and value of the energy it will produce. It's percentage of the existing electric bill is an abstract number that varies greatly based on use.  We are not a sales company and there is nothing in our contracts that says it will do a certain percentage of an electric bill.

      this system was purchased from Sunnova under the understanding that it would produce approximately 9158.06KWH a year. So far it has produced 6890KWH in just 8 months well on its way to outperforming the proposed production. I've also attached a copy of the electric bill used to size the system which showed 8030KWHs of usage in the year up to the sale. So the system should well out perfrom usage.

      It's possible that your consumption habits have changed. It's also possible that the utility is not billing you correctly. A current utility bill would be needed to determine what is going on 

      I hope this information is helpful, and i may be coming off as an expert in the subject matter, but this is really sales stuff that we dont do. We dont employ any sales people. These questions should be directed at your consulting company. 

      That said, I will reach out to them to assist in getting them in touch.

      As far as SES in concerned. The Contracted work is installed and producing as signed and agreed upon. 

      Best,

      I am rejecting this response because: No one has denied I was promised zero electrical charges from PECO.  No one was stated the system was designed to produce insufficient amounts to off set the total amount of electricity to zero out or over produce electricity.  All they are saying is system is working as designed.  since it is not zeroing out my electrice needs is must be an inadequate design. 

      Sincerely,

      I signed a contract with Sustainable Energy Systems for the design and installation of a Tesla Power Wall Battery backup power system on 11/02/2021. I was told I might have to wait as long as July 2022 for the installation to be completed, but it is now December 2022, and I do not even have a date when it will be installed. This is totally unsatisfactory. Note, I paid a deposit of $6,750 in November 2021.

      Hello, yes this is all true. We contracted in November 21. The purchase order was placed December 21 with Tesla.

      Tesla has been taking appx 12 months to get us any batteries. However, they have finally started to have a steady stream of battery supply again.

      This battery has been paid for and is expected to deliver in January 2023.

      Due to the lack of batteries from tesla and then the mass fill of our backlog of batteries. We are experiencing a backlog in our ability to install these batteries as they come in. We currently have this project on our schedule for install March 13th and 14th 2023.

      Apologies, it looks as though our scheduling department has been dropping the ball on reaching out since the install is tentatively planned so far in advance.

      Hope this helps and that you are still excited about the project. I'm my 16 years of Solar and battery experience. Tesla makes the most reliable battery on the market, has the best post install customer support and is worth the wait.

      Best,

      Rollie

      I had solar panels installed by this company in July 2020. As of August 2022, they have not contacted PEPCO to enroll my panels in the net metering program so that I may receive credit for the power produced by my panels. I sent emails and left voicemals at all addresses and phone numbers I have and am awaiting a response and/resolution. However, based on the reviews I read regarding lack of response and communication from business, I decided to reach out to you guys for assistance in getting some type of resolve.

      We received PTO on july 31st 2020. Attached to this complaint. Along with screen shots of the production, consumption , import and export values. The net meter is installed and the system has produced 30.59 MWHs to datw. Everything appears to be working correctly. It appears as though 90 percent of all production is consumed in the home before the net meter functions.

      To me everything looks to operating excellently. Is there something that I am missing? Thanks!
