Reviews
Positive Reviews
“The experience went smoothly from the start. Great job with installment, thank you to the crew who came out and did the job.”
“Solar Energy World has been installing residential and commercial solar panels for over 88 years. We serve most areas throughout the entire state of South Carolina. Solar Energy World stands apart from all other SC solar panel installers because: We’re not a discount retail chain. At Solar Energy World, we guarantee personalized customer service for everyone.”
“We practice what we preach. We run our facility on our own system designed and installed by our own employees. Our customers love us. We’ll let you contact any customer at random for an unbiased, unprepared reference.”
Negative Reviews
“I do t know if it’s solar energy world or sun run but we are paying for the panels and have been getting $170 electric bills every month. Not saving us anything. I’ve called and no one cares.”
“We have had the worse time getting any response from our agent. Spent over $100k on panels and need repairs. We have not received any response or reply only the run around. Highly disappointed and continuing to receive an electricity bill as thou we don’t have energy panels!!”
“There was nothing exceptional with the service or installation. They had initially erected the ground array, which looked nice, but were required to lower it per county inspector, resulting in a sloppy looking ground array. I had to complain about their workmanship – the installer attempted to use duck tape on a beam endcap. I didn’t pay 60k for duck tape. They remediated the duck tape. Then the ceiling in the master bed room began leaking. After tearing the ceiling apart to find the source of the leak, I found excess holes we’re drilled near the roof array mount that weren’t patched. They remediated the roof leak.
The solar monitoring app seemed to take forever to update. Turns out they default to using the GSM module in the inverters which only send data every four hours. Why would a paying customer wait 4 hours to see what the hell the system is producing? After some research, running Ethernet cables from my network switch to the inverters resulted in updates every 15 minutes.”
