We recently purchased a $50K solar system from Sun Edison (Bay Area based company). The Salesman I purchased from was Jeremiah Fugitt, whom was wonderful, a true professional, both knowledgeable in his field, and very personable too. He also maintained contact with us throughout the entire process to ensure our needs were being met as he had promised that they would be. Jeremiah explained about the analysis of our property in determining the best possible placement for us (we are on a five acre ranch), then he explained the costs (substantial) but worth the investment as solar currently brings a 95% return on your investment usually within the first five years following installation! Between us, we determined that a ground mount system made the most sense so we went ahead and purchased a $50,000 system, feeling confident in our investment.
Within a couple of weeks, Jeremiah came out and presented us with the written analysis of our property and the best spot that they determined would offer the proper declination for solar panel placement. We agreed and he then referred us to our Field Manager, Dave Collins, whom would be overseeing our job site installation. Dave called us the day after, and we scheduled a pre-installation site walk-through with him for the next week. Dave came on schedule and armed with a thorough knowledge of exactly what we needed to do to prepare for the installation, they would handle all the permits, etc., and how long the install would take.
Sun Edison can take pride in these two gentlemen, they performed their jobs professionally, thoroughly, and in a timely manner as promised. Dave and Jeremiah make an awesome team that most assured will be a money-making duo if teamed together in the future. Truly a pleasure to do business with.
Both these gentlemen did an awesome job communicating with us so that we understood clearly what was taking place when, etc. and exactly what the costs would be (substantial). The numbers never deviated from the sales agreement in any way. Sun Edison should appreciate that they've hired well as these two young men make a hell of a great team that represent their company in a very positive way.
I saved the best part for last......last year at this time our PG&E bills were running anywhere from $750/mo to $1,000/monthly. This year, the same month we received our first bill since the solar installation is up and running.....our current PG&E bill.....was $4.00...THAT"S RIGHT $4 !!!! : ) read more
