    I was very pleased with the work empower did. Since then some of the people that I dealt with are no longer there. I highly recommend solar. I saved alot of money. Solar leasing prices have increased and they did away with the 4 year property tax rebate.

    I was the one dealing with the installation process...After three months of using the system I'm more then happy with it...Actually the system is performing better then I expected and this in a situation when the day light hours are much lower compare with summer time. Empower team did a wonderful job from the beginning to the end providing all the informations I wanted to know.

    They completed the installation yesterday. Everything was done efficiently and professionally with out any problem. The system is working fine. The project was finished in 3 months from signing of the contract. One final step of installation of the net meter by coned remains. Since its inside the house I need to make an appointment with them. I will recommend sunpower to any one.

    I thought they were great. They came in advance several times to plan out exactly what they were going to do. They took pictures and showed me plans of what they intended to do. I gave my input on some of the Ethernet and electrical power work. Then they came when they said they would. Took as much time as they said they would. Did exactly what they said they would, cleaned up after themselves, and everything works.

    If you're looking for solar installation I would recommend them without reservation. They handled all paperwork with the city, etc and were completely professional.
