I waited a little time to see if they would respond. nothing. another bad rain comes and leaks again so I took videos and emailed them with videos. again nothing. tried calling and left a voicemail. no respons.

Spent a lot of money with them with zero help on the quality of work.

My experience with Sigora Solar has turned out positive. Our monthly electric bills for the…read morespring-summer of 2023 have been around $7 (Dominion Energy of Virginia will always charge a small fee for being connected to their grid). Previously since July 2022 when we bought this house, these bills have ranged as high as $300/month. We have received the first Solar Renewable Energy credit (SREC) payment via Suntribe Energy Trading Company, a Sigora partner. My 2022 federal tax return was accepted with a tax credit for the new solar system. I wanted to talk about positives first. The Sigora pre-sales team were very efficient, but my day job is in IT acquisitions (buying stuff) and I typically get a minimum of three estimates. This can take a fair amount of time to complete and may annoy sales folks who are trying to hit sales goals. Mostly due to my ignorance in the solar marketplace, the initial design included storage batteries as well as solar panels. Sigora's cost estimate hovered around $58K with 27 panels and two Enphase batteries. I have been watching the electric car manufacturing situation in the U.S. and believe that with more car battery manufacturing coming online, we will see lower cost/higher density batteries in the near future, so investing in home batteries in 2022 would not have been wise. Removing the batteries and lowering the number of solar panels to 22 brought the cost of the system down to around $25K. I financed this amount with a Sigora partner (Mosaic) and was able to apply a large payment from the tax refund. Getting three quotes from qualified installation companies helped arrive at this system configuration so I recommend doing it wherever possible (other companies were charging even more for storage batteries). Wrapping up -- the Local Consumption feature for Enlighten from Enphase has been helpful in keeping track of energy we use, generate, send to Dominion Energy and get credited for. It was not included in our original system, but here is the link if you want to see what it does: https://support.enphase.com/s/article/How-can-I-view-my-homes-energy-consumption-in-MyEnlighten Good luck with finding the right solar for your home/business!

Sigora installed my panels 1 year ago and I have been paying monthly payments on my loan BUT SIGORA…read morehas not yet connected my system with Pepco. It is literally astounding. Sigora appears to have no idea how the process with pepco in DC works and literally has no connections with the power company. PEPCO has on multiple occasions asked SIGORA to reinstall or reapply for my system to be connected. Months of inaction. It is impossible to speak to anyone about my case and to understand what they are doing with my account. I call repeated and leave messages and am assured someone will call me back. Guess what? No one ever calls. Literally it has been months of unreturned calls. Meanwhile I continue to pay the loan amount without any SRECs. I've lost $1000s of dollars thus far.

Randal is an excellent Master Plumber. He knows what he is doing, explains things patiently, and…read morewhen on the phone or at your home, is respectful. But a great plumber is only good if you can get a response from them. I've been dealing with him for several years now. Consistently I've had to message repeatedly, call repeatedly. On occasion - as the first time I contacted him probably in 2023 - he answers the phone himself, and provides info on what he thinks the problem is. And he does phenomenal work. After a few years of being a good customer, patient, paying on time, never objecting to pricing, I **STILL** cannot get a response from him. One issue is that he's a one man show. It's him, or no one. His wife is lovely and accompanies him at times. Very knowledgeable herself. About 4 weeks ago I initiated contact and he responded immediately via text. Great, I thought. Then nothing. After a few more messages checking in, he said there was a family medical situation. I gave him space, and here we are two weeks and yet another text message to him later, and nothing. Nada. And still a leaking well tank. C'mon. Do better. We are done, hope you sort yourself out with other customers - I've seen several other people have had the same experience.
