Once the work began, the crew repeatedly arrived without the correct parts and equipment, and a job that was supposed to have taken a couple of days has now lasted almost two weeks and is still not completed.

It seems like everyone else had a great experience with True South Solar. Mine was...different…read more We talked with them at the Home Show and were really excited to have them come out and give us a quote, so we scheduled an appointment with them for in April. Appointment time came and went. The guy was a no show. Didn't call, either. A couple of hours after the appointment time, I called their office. Got the standard outgoing "sorry we missed your call blah blah blah" so I left the standard name-number-reason for calling message. Here we are in late June, and I'm still waiting for the call back. I would love to have solar panels with the energy storage battery system, but if they are this unreliable before we even get started, I will respectfully pass. I will continue to look for a company who actually wants to do business and respects their scheduling commitments. To waste my time (that I took off work for this appointment) and not even follow up with a return call tells me all I need to know. Kinda feels like dodging a bullet.

READ THIS BEFORE BUYING SOLAR!…read more When putting all the money out for a solar system it's extremely important to hire a local company that has its own installers and that actually cares about solar. Four years ago I purchased a solar system not knowing what I was doing from a non-local company. Five months ago half the system quit working. I contacted the company and they kept ignoring my request for repair. Then I finally received an email that stated they were going bankrupt. I found out that a lot of companies sprang up to collect the government payout and after things dried up would take the money and run. Since I am paying a savings and loan I couldn't simply stop paying and I still owed over 17k. They referred me to the company they contracted with. That company blew me off, there's not much money in repair vs full installs. I tried a third company that I thought was local but turned out not to be and the contractor they hire could not repair my system. FYI, there are different manufacturers of systems and they are very different. Finally I found Truesouth solar, their customer service was friendly and helpful. They sent a knowledgeable tech out who was on staff and not an independent contractor. He fixed my system and it works perfectly now. Truesouth solar did not make much money off of me and yet treated me with concern and respect. If you are in southern Oregon and want to purchase a solar system I highly recommend them. Down the road if something goes wrong, you need to be able to count on support. I literally contacted every company in the Medford area and Truesouth solar was the only one that was willing and competent to help.

Well, maybe just that I should have done it sooner.

Alchemy is well respected for the quality of their construction/ remodeling work but was not the…read morefirst company to come to mind when we decided to install a solar array. (We just didn't know they did solar.) Despite this, Alchemy Construction became our top choice after meeting with several companies and receiving estimates. We loved their clear communication and attention to detail- even in the estimate. Stephen met with us for our estimate. We discussed our expectations/ desires from a solar array, and he provided us with a first-hand understanding of what solar power could and could not do for our household. He adjusted our expectations for a solar array. Alchemy provided a very clear and specific written quote that identified the quantity, brand, and type of each component. The quote included the work to be performed and even spelled out what was not included per our conversations. Amy communicated clearly about timelines, paperwork needed from us, and when the team would be on site. The team arrived on time and were always professional and friendly. No tricks, no gimmicks, no pressure- they listened to us and our needs and delivered a product that met our needs and exceeded our expectations. We are thrilled with our solar array and looking forward to our next project with Alchemy. Until the next project, Erica

I got to my house at 2:06 waited till 2:10 called and asked if we were still on he told me that he waited 5 minutes then left so he would not be late for his next appointment. Then proceeded to tell me I needed to cut trees get a new roof and other things. I told him that other people I had talked to offered to help get that coordinated he told me to "use one of them then". So I am. I am glad I saw how they treat customers before so I was not even more disappointed.

Where I live is cell phone dead zones, so advised him to call from the shopping parking lot to get explicit directions. He arrived at 9 a.m. To my ear ONE sounds nothing like any other hour.

Don't waste your time as they're not interested in your business! Our real estate agent in Coos…read moreCounty suggested we reach out to them to talk about green home building since their seemingly pretty website loves to talk about all of their sustainable projects, from building to solar and more, and yet there is NO CONTACT INFORMATION listed on the website. No phone number, with links that are broken to contact emails, and just a contact page for solar. The only working link was for their salesperson (a few clicks into the website to find that) and their solar inquiry sheet, so we reached out both ways. You'd think the SALES person would be responsive, but nope, nada, nothing for a week. When we finally heard from Ciera, she actually said they were "too busy" to even talk to us to right now (even though our project wouldn't be til 2018 and we just were asking for some basic information) and that they would not be available til the end of the month. I am a small business owner and I would never have the NERVE to tell someone looking to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars with me to "reach out later". I emailed back with some basic info on what we were doing (including the house plan link we already had selected), letting her know that it was important we know we have a builder before we buy a lot in the area - because down there there are so few options and they were one of the only ones who seemed to focus in sustainable building, so we didn't want to get stuck with a property and no one who had a clue how to build in an environmentally friendly way. Another week passes and she says she is going to refer us to their designer / co-owner. Another week passes and Shannon Souza finally emails asking us what we want to talk about - not mentioning the tons of information we'd already provided. I asked her if she had read our emails with our details and she said yes, and asked if she could send us her questions via email or do this over the phone. I responded (within hours) over email. Again, another week passes. In the meantime, we're getting closer and closer on a property we like and planning a trip to the area to do a final review before hopefully making an offer (literally 4 days from now). Emailed one last time a couple of days ago expressing both our interest and frustration, including our plans to be in the area, and..NOTHING. Clearly Shannon and Ciera and their team could care less about getting customers. Guess that's why their website has no contact information, because they don't plan on responding anyhow! Zero class, zero professionalism. STAY AWAY FROM SOLCOAST.
