For those of you that don't like to read a lot, here is the short version…read more.. You should look no further than A&R Solar for your solar needs. This is a fantastic organization with fabulous staff. Okay, here's more, if you are so inclined to read... Adding solar power is no small investment. Therefore, you should want to have the best information available when considering solar power. Solar is clearly a great way to go, both in terms of being friendly to the environment, and the savings that you can see in your energy costs in the future. Because the decision is so important, you will want the most knowledgeable and most professional people to provide you with every bit of accurate information so that you can make the most informed decision. The entire staff at A&R Solar are exactly what I've described above. They are professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and patient. I love how great they are about always getting back to me when I have another question. I have had direct communication with Jesse, Michael, Jen, and Karen. All were fantastic. I'm certain that these four are simply an example of how great the rest of their staff are. I wholeheartedly recommend A&R Solar. I would look no further than this fine organization for my solar questions and needs.

I appreciate the values this company brought to their work…read more I had gotten another bid from a company that didn't even come out to my property. A and R sent their sales person to our house and he got right to work. He went into our crawl space under the roof to make sure our roof was properly supported for the panels. That was a relief as the other place wanted to send a structural engineer to do that very simple job and charge us for it. Ridiculous. Our project was two years, so the crew may be slightly different, but they were great. When there was an issue, like that we didn't have electrical grounding, they just put in grounding bars. Amazing! They offer production guarantees which is rare for a solar company, like those ones that come door to door. lol A and R was professional, easy to work with and easy to communicate with. Good job team!

Justin is the real deal. His decades of experience in RV service was immediately known. From his…read morewell-equipped service trailer, to his fast troubleshooting. His wealth of knowledge and willingness to provide tips alone made choosing him worth it. I had a challenging electrical issue with my 2023 travel trailer. I spent several hours trying to figure it out, only to get increasingly frustrated. Within about 30 minutes, Justin had discovered the issue, tested the parts (converter), and came up with a game plan to get it fixed before my upcoming camping trip. Justin was able I locate the part I needed the next day, and squeezed me in to his schedule to install it that evening. I'm thrilled to have my RV back to working like new. However, I appreciate the professionalism, customer service, and great personality that I got from Justin even more. Without a doubt, I highly recommend using Great NW RV for your maintenance and RV repair needs. I assure you that you will not find better.

We initially chose this installer because they appeared professional and knowledgeable, even…read moreengaging us in discussions about optimizing our solar panel layout. Based on their assurances, we confirmed the project nearly 2.5 months before the federal tax credit deadline, expecting timely completion. To proceed with them, we canceled an application with another installer who promised a faster timeline and stopped pursuing two others offering aggressive pricing. Unfortunately, that trust was misplaced. From the moment we signed, there were no proactive updates on project progress. Communication was poor--responses only came after repeated follow-ups. After weeks of pestering for an installation timeline, we were finally told--at the last minute--that they were short-staffed and could not complete the project in December. This left us zero time to approach alternative installers, resulting in the loss of the federal tax credit. This feels like a bait-and-switch tactic: they made viable promises to secure our business, then failed to deliver, causing significant financial harm. If you value transparency, timely execution, and accountability, look elsewhere. Our experience was frustrating, costly, and completely avoidable with honest communication.

I installed my solar in 2008. The people who installed it were amazing. Since 2008, every problem…read moreI've had with micro inverters, not working, issues with my panels, no output.... Elemental Energy has been outstanding in post customer care. In the eight years since I've had my system, I've only had two issues which were properly taken care of. The project manager in 2008 was absolutely awful. Poor communication and someone quit so my project got pushed to no-man zone- no one was taking care of my project or communicating clearly about what was going on. I didn't write a review in 2008 because I was upset about the process. However, eight years later, the install is absolutely fantastic and the product has held up really well. Plus the person who was so awful is likely gone so thinking you'll have a better experience than I did. I'm getting quotes on battery and they are the first person I called

The project went well, except for panel placement. We had indicated where we wanted the 19 panels…read moreplaced to achieve the best solar exposure. However, when the project was completed, the 19th panel was placed near the back of the house, which is shaded by tall fir trees. We could have gotten better results, albeit the difference is not particularly great. If they had installed the panels as we had indicated, I would give them 5 stars. As it is, during the summer months, we are producing enough electricity to send it back into the grid for a small credit on our PGE bill.

Gen-Con installed a 5kW PV system on my roof in SW Portland in 2017/2018. Brent and his partners…read morewere great to work with from start to finish. He's extremely experienced, having started in the solar business in 1981, so there really is nothing a roof or house could throw at Brent that he couldn't handle, I think. I got multiple bids including the most highly reviewed/mentioned Portland firms, and his was not the flashiest proposal or largest possible system, but it was straightforward and took the most efficient approach with respect to the tax incentives. And he didn't want to take chances with the final inspection by cramming too many panels on my roof. Another company sized a 7.3kW system and he felt it may not pass code. I also needed a service upgrade from 100 amps to 200 amps coming into the house, and Brent was happy to build that into the project. The sub he used for that was absolutely great and also added a 240V plug in the garage for my EV with no complaints or haggling. In comparison, one of the other companies I talked to really didn't feel like doing the service upgrade, even though I was happy to pay for it. Brent just wanted to do what was needed to give me a great system. He was fast too...from my first contact with him to switching the system on was two months and a couple days. With respect to payment, he takes a very small payment with the signing of the contract and then doesn't even say a word about getting the rest until everything is complete and all inspections are done. I highly recommend Brent and Gen-Con for your solar PV and thermal needs.

They needed to install a smoke/heat detector in my house. I have dark hardwood floors and grey blown in insulation which is very dusty. Cut a 2" x 4" hole in the ceiling and dropped it on the floor. The insulation went on the floor as well as the pieces of wire he cut off. Then asks me if I have something to clean it up with. When they finally finished they left 2 pallets of trash in my garage for 8 days so I couldn't park my car in there. Failed inspection because of mistakes a first year apprentice wouldn't make. Went to the addresses on their website and found an empty office building and someones house. They came back 3 weeks later to take photos of their work. One and a half hours late for that meeting. Opens up all the panels, take pics, then relables panel doors because they're wrong. So, are the lables wrong now or before? If I could have given no stars I would have.

Service is a scam, no reliable number to call and speak with direct scheduling person to get a date…read moreor follow up about getting a date. When i call their support (dozens of calls which I have documented) starting FEBRUARY 2026 after new roof completion, to reinstall my panels EVEN AFTER I PAID THE THOUSANDS OF $ for their warranted reinstall. Sometimes I was on hold 30 minutes to 3 hours and got no one. Other times I was told they know I am on list to be scheduled but they cannot speak to scheduler nor can I. I asked if I call back in one week for an update could they let me know, and they said no. WHEN REINSTALL FINALLY SCHEDULED MAY 26, 2026 the technicians arrived and I gave them the box of reinstall components that sunworld/blue raven sent. These attachments weren't the necessary items SO THEY COULD NOT INSTALL MY PANELS. THE KIND TECHNICIAN ALSO DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO CALL SCHEDULER OR COORDINATOR DIRECTLY. THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN TO ANOTHER PROJECT EARLIER IN NEIGHBORHOOD THAT DAY AND CAME UPON THE BOX OF WRONG COMPONENTS SENT TO THAT JOB TO REINSTALL PANELS. What kind of company treats their paying customers with sub standard consideration and service. TWO WEEKS LATER, I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM the company or received new attachments. I went to website and AI Evan gave me a customer support number to call: 855-608-5036 specific to my query to reinstall panels after roof replacement. I shouldn't have been disappointed ONCE AGAIN THAT IT WASNT EVEN A WORKONG NUMBER. Lastly, the technicians driving the BLUE RAVEN SOLAR van QUALIFIED TO DO WARRANTY INSTALL OF PANELS expressed concern about not being paid for work if they don't install panels. Being a RN, I am outraged by a company that has no accountability for mismanaged products and services. This is why unions are required and wouldn't need to be, if companies would treat consumers and employees fair like companies owners and shareholders want to be. I have never written a review online and I hate to spend time and energy doing it. I also hate that I have spent a hundred hours trying to get my solar panels up and start collecting sun power which ai have missed for 4 UNNECESSARY MONTHS OF WHICH ENTIRELY IS FAULT OF SUNPOWER....BLUE RAVEN SOLAR OR WHATEVER THEY CALL THEMSELVES-I HOPE OTHER PEOPLE LOOKING INTO PURCHASING SOLAR PANELS CAN FIND A DIFFERENT VENDOR OR THIS COMPANY ACTS LIKE THE SAME COMPANY THE SAID THEY WERE WHEN THEY CAME DOOR TO DOOR AND SOLD ME ON THEM AND THEIR SOLAR PANEL PROGRAM.
