The team took the time to explain everything to me, from the benefits of solar energy to the specific details of the installation process. They customized a solution that perfectly met my needs and budget, and I never felt pressured to make a decision. The installation crew was professional and efficient. They arrived on time and worked diligently to install my solar system. The quality of their work was exceptional, and they paid attention to every detail to ensure a seamless integration with my roof. I was impressed by their expertise and dedication to delivering a top-notch installation.”
- “Installed a 10KW system at our home in Mohave Valley, AZ. System performing at/above expectations. Install was done well, and installers were courteous and professional. Highly recommend.”
- “I recently met with Jen and Steve who works with Solar Topps and I was very impressed. They were very educational and not salesy at all.”
Negative Reviews
- “My inverter stopped working for three months and I still had to pay the monthly charge. I lost three months electrical production and was reimbursed a small percentage of my loss. Not real happy with Solar Topps.”
- “Our system began producing over our expectations…until a sudden whole-system failure of our two month old system!”
- “Very poor workplace culture. They may hire you for 3 weeks or 3 years and let you go either way like it’s nothing. They don’t do background checks so if you’re a felon go ahead and apply here.”
