So Modern Solar installed our system a few years ago. Initially we were pretty happy with it. It…read morewas a bit pricier than some of the others, but they seemed to know what they were doing. Then last year we discovered a lot of damp spots appearing on our garage ceiling. Every time it rained they got worse. Each of the multiple spots just so happens to be directly under where the mounting for the solar panels were on the roof. Edmund from Modern Solar came out and basically said it wasn't his fault and had nothing to do with the panels, but they re-caulked the posts anyhow. While they were doing that, they disconnected our system. Only thing is, they didn't reconnect it again. So a month or two later we received a couple of large electric bills. Obviously the first thing we did was check the system and discovered it was off. We turned it back on as soon as we realized. Edmund agreed to pay us back for the electric we were billed for. After a number of emails and calls, still no refund. We had 4 professional independent roofers come out to check the work. They ALL agreed that the panel posts had been attached incorrectly with the wrong sealant. Edmund said they didn't know what they were talking about. I guess he's more knowledgeable than a professional roofer, four of them. He refuses to admit his work was at fault, when it's plain to see how the water is getting in. The damps spots are all perfectly aligned with the posts on the roof. Couldn't be any more clear! And FOUR PROFESSIONAL ROOFERS have verified this!! Edmund tried to convince us that rain was probably getting in from over on the opposite side of the roof and dribbling along beams and dropping off above the garage ceiling. And th We understand that you should have your solar systems checked every now and then, and serviced if need be, but the fact of the matter is that Modern Solar used the wrong product from day 1, it has been letting in water, and now it needs to be removed and done properly. So that was almost a year ago now and still no compensation, no apology, nothing. We had eventually just said "ok, just pay us for the electricity we were charged for due to you turning off our system and we'll call it quits" (even though we still need to pay to have the posts re-sealed correctly and the ceiling repainted. But he is now totally ignoring us. Be careful of this guy, he thinks very highly of himself and won't admit he's at fault if anything goes wrong with your system. Our next step will be the small claims court. This could've been taken care of so easily.

Now I am needing to replace a roof, and they are standing ready to assist in the process of removing and replacing rooftop panels. My trust in them is so strong that I also am using the roofer that they recommend. There are very few companies that I have worked with that have consistently provided value, high levels of customer service, extreme technological expertise and an overall professionalism that Hot Purple Energy has provided to me over the past nine years. Every aspect of my relationship with them has been of the highest caliber, and has been consistently characterized by my trust in their business integrity and in their ability to preform to the highest standard. I highly recommend their services. You cannot go wrong by selecting Hot Purple Energy of Palm Springs for your solar energy needs.
