Reviews
Positive Reviews
- “The experience with Renu Energy Solutions was great from the sales presentation to the installation. They were great to work with and the project manager kept me informed and the install team did a great job.”
- “Renu Energy Solutions solar company was a mediocre experience for me. The prices were quite high and the installation quality left something to be desired. The installation team seemed inexperienced and not very knowledgeable about the product.”
- “I love my solar panels. I looked into getting solar panels for a long time. After much research and many quotes I finally pulled the trigger with Renu Solar and Roofing. The entire team did a great job, they really made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Panels work great, saving money every month, and best part didn’t cost me anything out of pocket.”
Negative Reviews
- “I feel similar to the other low-star reviews on here. I was promised by the Renu salesperson that this system would cost no more per month than what we are currently paying in electric bills. They even printed off a fancy estimation of what the future holds in terms of costs with their system. I was ensured that the cost of staying tied to the grid would be $25/month. I should have done my own research here, and called the electric company myself to find out, instead of taking their word. It turns out that the monthly cost to stay on the grid is $62/month. This plus the cost of the financed loan is equal to our most expensive electric bill in the past. Now we are locked into paying this every month for the next 20+ years. Not to mention that some months there is still additional cost to our electric company for power used that is not offset by the solar. This past month we received a $143 bill from our power company, with an additional $108 for the loan. The customer service and sales team are very quick to respond when you are first getting set up, but are very slow to respond after your system is up and running. If there are issues, you can expect 2-3 weeks before someone is out there to fix it. Once they arrive, they are often confused about what the problem is because their management didn’t fill them in with what the issue is. It appears that they are the type of company that makes big promises to line up a lot of installs, but then leave the customers hanging when it comes to fulfillng those promises.”
- “It has been a week since I sent the last pictures of my solar inverters. What is going on with my system? More than half is dead. I’m paying the loan on this but receiving no benefit. My electric bill is much higher. If there is something wrong with the system, I want it fixed and fixed now. I have to ask to get a f**king update! Where is your company’s customer service?”
- “I had Renu install my solar system installed in December of 2022, up and running early 2023. I am very happy with how the system operates, everything is as expected there, On the customer service side though, when we signed our contact in July of 2022, we paid extra to have a tree that is blocking part of our panels trimmed back to maximize sunlight. Now, in October of 2023 we have not gotten the tree trimmed as promised. I have made several attempts to work this out with my project manager, but nothing has happened. Based on the modeling done by the salesperson, this has cost me a moderate amount of solar generation this summer. I am very disappointed in how I have been treated by them, and for that reason alone I would not recommend them.”
