2. “We decided to go with Solar when we moved into our new home last summer. After reviewing and talking with a few companies we chose Shine Solar. We are so glad we did. If you are thinking of going Solar, don’t hesitate working with Shine. They have worked with us, communicated with us every step of the way and their service people were great. Thanks Shine Solar.”
3. “A big shout out to Shine Solar, Austin was the salesman that I dealt with and sold me the panels and hookup, the installers also did a great job and were very professional.”

Negative Reviews

1. “I believed the account reps about how solar would make things easier as I prepare for retirement. It was not even close. It took months for service to be installed rain sure didn’t help matters, but was not the main issue as it was installed wrong twice. Tried to end service then, but once again a ‘Manager’ assured me they would correct mistakes. Took several more months. Took so long that I made 2-3 payments on loan before I got any solar return. I was told they would reimburse me for payments made by my rep Michael. Still no reimbursement after several months. Weather caused a power outage and our home generator which we bought from Shine did not work. Came out 3 times and last service person could not figure out what was wrong (He said it was wired incorrectly). Used one of my extension cords to supply power and said they would be back out to fix. It has been several months and nothing. If I could have system removed I would in a heartbeat! They are scam artists taking advantage of older people!”
2. “Shine Solar isn’t clear about panel types or payment options on its website.”
3. “Glad everyone else likes their system, I have panels in my back yard and my electric bill was over two hundred dollars last month not to mention I have only produced kWh since the beginning of June but there is nothing wrong. Oh my system is supposed to be based off kWh a month. My bill this time last year was only dollars more than it was this year with this wonderful thousand dollar system of mine.”
