My journey started in 2021 with a 20 panel system and fast forward to 2023 I'm having an additional 10 panels added to my system (needed additional panels to offset power consumption for 2 EV's, ductless system, etc.). I waited to write my review to gauge how the service and support experience would potentially change after the inital installation and I can say Dan and his team has been just as competent, professional, supportive, etc as the initial consultation. My gripe with the other 'solar guys' is they all sounded like car salesmen focusing on making a deal, get in and get out.....in contrast Dan actually sat and took the time to explain the whole process in great detail from start to finish and didn't end until all questions, comments and concerns were addressed. I will use Built Well Solar for all my solar needs for foreseeable future.

I'm located in Bayville, NY. I had contracted with Built Well Solar to install solar panels on my…read morelast two homes. With my first home I requested quotes from multiple companies and either didn't like their sales pitch, price or equipment. Built Well was a refreshing change. No pressure, just a presentation of the value added by their installation. They use state of the art equipment and did indeed, eliminate my electric bill. They performed the work on time and on budget. When I sold my first home the buyers mentioned that the solar panels were one of the factors in making their decision. Needless to say,there was no shopping around when it came time to equip my second home. They are hands down, the BEST solar company and I liked the fact that they are a privately owned Long Island based company. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone thinking of added solar panels to their home.

I chose this company over several other local installers like Momentum, EmPower, and Green Logic,…read morebut ultimately had a mixed experience. While the sales team was professional and assured me they had extensive experience with the strict solar regulations in my area, there was a significant gap between those assurances and the actual permitting process. I was initially told I would only be responsible for a specific village application fee (should the village deny the proposal). Unfortunately it was denied, I was charged $2,500 for various fees including site surveys, administrative costs, and architectural drawings. The project unfortunately did not work out, and the most frustrating part was the permitting and billing hurdle. I had to spend a considerable amount of time negotiating with their customer service team to lower those initial fees, eventually settling on a $1,000 charge for the work performed. They seem like a decent local company, but their internal processes--especially within the permitting department--need better alignment with the promises made by sales. My advice to others is to double-check every detail in your contract before moving forward.

After talking to a number of companies, I contacted our real estate agent from 18 years ago, Jeremy…read moreZucker. He recommended Long Island power solutions and my representative the wonderful David Kowalsky. One of the scam companies I had spoken with and never signed a contract nor indicated I wanted to move forward - after almost a year- out of nowhere, applied for a permit to put solar panels on our house. We live in Yonkers. I was horrified! I had no communication with them and they did this behind my back. It took a couple of months to straighten this out because a fine had to be paid by them to remove the permit. We first needed to put a new roof on before putting solar. It was such a scam and the company was located actually out west. That's when I called my real estate agent Jeremy and asked for his advice because he went solar and was extremely happy, and he had done all of the research. We took Jeremy's advice and we are thrilled! From the very beginning, it was a pleasure working with David Kowalsky. Not pushy. Very easy to reach at any time. He answered all of our questions, very straightforward and was always there for us. He searched around to find the best financing and any of the New York incentives. We first had to get a new roof on our 100 year old house. Once we got our new roof, we moved forward with Long Island power solutions. Everything went smoothly with them and they made the process actually enjoyable. Once they came out to install the panels on our 100-year-old colonial house, we didn't even know what they were here. It was very smooth, and they finished perfectly within the day and put up protection against the squirrels and raccoons of which we have a lot. I was afraid of them getting on the roof and destroying things. Where we live, we have a lot of wildlife. When they finished that day, they left our yard cleaner than when they arrived. We went online finally last September. We have the Ephase app on our phones and enjoy enormously, seeing minute by minute how much power we are drawing in from the sun. We even get power on cloudy days. Like everyone around the New York City and Westchester area, we have been stuck with consolidated Edison, which is a monopoly and for profit. Our bills have been jumping sky high and ConEd has been pocketing huge profit from everyone in this area that are stuck with them. We are so happy to have solar! We have only great things to say about this solar company. We have only had excellent interaction with them and the panels are working great and our representative David Kowalsky is always there for any questions that we have. Highly recommend!

I have solar panels and an HVAC system yet I am paying $900+ in energy bills from Con Edison! I called Con Edison and they informed me that I have not been receiving g my energy credits. I have been trying to reach out to Kamtech and they haven't even bothered to reach out to me. Totally disgraceful! They should compensate me for the 3 months my panels were not producing any energy! Egor has reached out and we managed to come to an acceptable solution. He was very patient and took the time to explain certain issues that I was not aware of. Not only that, but they also compensated me towards the cost of my energy utility bill. Thank you very much for taking the time answer my questions and help steer me towards a satisfactory resolution.

As original installer of a Sunpower system, Kamtech should cover labor costs in addition to the lifetime warranty of panels & inverters per agreement. We will see how this works out.

We had been approached by NYSS about 1.5-2 yrs ago to discuss solar installation at our home…read more Initially, things went smoothly and then we had issues with our town government which held up our progression. After a somewhat chaotic experience, today we had the pleasure of meeting Sean Jackson from NYSS. Sean took the time to thoroughly explain the solar program from soup to nuts. He spent about 2 hrs with us, and we found him to be extremely helpful, professional & knowledgeable about all things solar. We were looking to lower our energy costs while pursuing a more environmentally friendly option. Sean helped us navigate the preparation and installation of solar panels. Kathryn was another person at NYSS who we spoke to at the initial start of our solar conversation - she put us in touch with Sean and overall, we were very pleased with our experience. If anyone is considering going 'solar', I would definitely recommend speaking with Sean Jackson - you won't be disappointed.

I must say I am compelled to highly…read morerecommend PREMIER SOLAR SOLUTIONS, and here's why: I should have hired PREMIER SOLAR SOLUTIONS six years ago; WHY? For whatever reason, my electric bill was out of control. I interviewed every solar company in the Long Island area that existed for the past six years. I listened, I got educated. They all said they were the best and the others were the worst. They were all about making a sale, not about what my needs. I caught so many of them in lies with mis-representing how solar would benefit me. Many of them provided saving estimates that were totally inaccurate. Why did the competitors fabricate? They were only concerned about making a sale to reach a quota. Not looking out for me and my family. After sitting on the sidelines for six years of investigating solar, I was introduced to Chris Hoffman, President and owner of PREMIER SOLAR SOLUTIONS. I placed a call to Chris only to find out he was on vacation with his family in Phoenix and due back in 7 days. Well......in less than 15 minutes I got a call from Chris Hoffman, (on vacation) where he took 45 minutes of his family vacation time to answer all questions regarding my solar needs. I had a proposal from him the next day. (on vacation) The rest was history. I hired Premiere Solar solutions because Chris Hoffman explained how he and his company works and what was the best solar installation for my needs. He never discussed or brought up a competitor or mentioned why his company is better than the competition. He promised delivery and honest results. That says it all about Premier Solar Solutions. Once we agreed to move forward, my installation was quick and smooth. The workers arrived when they were supposed to, and they took the time to explain everything I needed to know about the install from beginning to end. In the past my average balanced budget electric bill was $375.00 per month. Since I installed solar from Premiere Solar Solution my electric monthly is less than $26.00 per month. And that is with many rainy days on Long Island. If you are looking into solar, do yourself a favor and speak to Chris Hoffman at Premier Solar Solutions.

One of the most professional, thorough, dependable, communicative companies I've ever had the pleasure to deal with. My rep Drew Divittorio was so friendly, trustworthy, patient and helped me understand absolutely everything about the system and worked diligently to get me the best price. One of the best assets NYPS has is their partnership w GreenSky a lender who was able to lend the full tax rebate upfront at 0% interest (!!!) for 18mos, significantly decreasing the money needed initially to get going on install. This is a total game changer. The install team was super professional and fast, installing 30 panels in about 2/3 of a work day. I just got off the phone w their quality assurance team. The app is excellent user experience-wise. I'm obsessed w monitoring our usage daily. Happy to say the system is working flawlessly even though it's winter. I considered solar for a good 10 years with many many companies coming to assess and provide estimates. NONE were convincing enough until this company came along. Very satisfied and excited to one day bypass paying ConEd altogether. New York Power Solutions couldn't have made this transition into renewable energy smoother and honestly delightful.
