I had an excellent experience with Lighthouse Solar. Jay Johnson and Dixie Tyrrell guided me through the whole process of getting the solar panels and explained each step of the way. They are always easy to get hold of and helpful. I recommend them very highly.
We love the excellent, ongoing customer service six years after installation. Plus what s not to love about $10 monthly electric bills!
Lighthouse Solar installed panels on our home, and we upgraded to LED lighting throughout. We have produced more energy than we have used for the past few months, we now have a nice fat credit with Austin Energy to help us keep our bills low during the hot summer months. The team of Stan, Robb and...
I have now purchased 2 different solar systems from Lighthouse Solar. One was for an existing home a few years ago and most recently for a new constriction home that I live in now. Jeff was extremely helpful on both projects and the systems are performing as expected. I would, have and continue to r...
Lighthouse solar is a top solar company. I enjoyed talking with their sales reps, especially Jeff and another guy named Robert. Thank you guys for the help on getting me a solar system.
Reliable, high quality work, and centrally located. Super helpful staff.
In late 2012 Stan Pipikin s team at Lighthouse Solar led by Jeff Bindall installed both a solar photovoltaic system (generates electricity using the sun) and a solar thermal system (heats water using the sun) at our house.
The installation was first rate with Jeff asking the right questions and l...
Don't shop around....save your valuable time. Jeff at Lighthouse Solar is very knowledgeable, professional and very helpful with my existing system. He provided great options and wasn't pushy for a sale. Don't waste your time as I did looking for a Solar company, go with Lighthouse Solar.
Gave us the most competitive bid for solar during new construction for home in Canyon Lake, TX. All went perfectly as planned. A year later, experienced a serious hail storm, Jeff was out the next day climbing on the roof. Fortunately, all the panels survived intact. Much thx!
My experience with Jay Johnson has been nothing but fantastic! Great communication, setting expectations, and follow through. I would highly recommend Lighthouse Solar. Just waiting to get our system powered up and can't wait to see the results.
Great company to work with and they provide quick service if needed. Highly recommended.
I had my Lighthouse Solar system installed when my house was built in 2016. Since then, I have contacted Lighthouse a few times to help me learn how to use the Lightgauge application, to check how my system was performing, and to investigate why City of Austin had different usage numbers than ...
Very positive experience with Jay and the team at Lighthouse. The expectations were set clearly, the installation went off without a hitch and they helped me wade through the rebate process. I've had the system for 5 months now and Austin Energy owes me $178 thus far. At this rate I'll see my roi...
Lighthouse Solar did not install my 10-yr old system, but that didn't stop Jeff with Lighthouse Solar from stopping by the same day I contacted him to troubleshoot my problem. He checked the voltage and climbed on the room to discover a compromised connector. Problem solved! Thanks for providing suc...
Researching a planned solar installation, after a couple of work colleagues provided positive feedback about their experiences with Lighthouse Solar I added their name to my shortlist.
Andy Hermandez arranged a visit with an assistant and together took readings from the roof that formed the basis...
Looked at the other reviews and I don't have much to add. Our installation was fairly simple and we are in San Marcos. It was all done quickly and painlessly - these folks really want to do a good job and leave you satisfied.
Called to fix the web page which tells me how much electricity I'm making. I switched providers and had to reset the network. The tech walked be through it and it's working like a charm. Smart, helpful techs.
Three years ago Lighthouse Solar did a great job on the initial installation of our home's system. And this week they did a great job on replacing low-performing conditioners for two of our panels. Jeff Bendall and Corry (last name?) were particularly good on that repair.
My system consists of 14 panels, which were installed in August 2017. The system stopped working recently, and I called Ali. In less than 4 days my system was up and running. 13 panels are working, an optimizer needs to be replaced on the 14th panel which will be done as soon as the part arrives. I...
Our community chose Lighthouse Solar after interviewing a number of companies. We've all been pleased with the overall service, communications and finance options. We have $0 bills on our electricity and the people at Lighthouse continue to keep in touch and are ready with answers to our questions...
Lighthouse solar has been great throughout our whole PV panel install process. They answered all our questions, and helped us design a system to meet our needs and our budget. Jeff and DJ are super responsive, helpful and thorough and all around great to work with. We feel that we got a great pri...
My husband and I had a great experience with Lighthouse. Firstly, they quoted us a great price with excellent panel quality. I was also happy to find out they install for TreeHouse, which typically uses high-quality installers. I also really liked their included monitoring software, which allows you...
The company is very good at all aspects of putting together a system, including the financial side of things. They also are good helping helping maintain the system after installation. They were great to work with. I wish more companies were that way.
Back in Aug of 2015, Lighthouse Solar installed a 7.5kW system on my roof. Design and installation went smoothly and for the last three years it just sat up there quietly cranking out power.
I regularly watch my energy production with the installed monitoring system and about a month ago I saw a ...
I have an older solar hot water system that had a broken pump. Jeff Bendall is one of the few (if not the only) people in Austin with the knowledge and skill to fix such a system, even though solar hot water systems are no longer a business that makes financial sense. Jeff was able to repair our sys...
Had a large (11 kW) photovoltaic system installed at my house in December 2015. Very professional job of installation and subsequent support as I tinkered with the reporting software. Jeff, Lance, and everyone else on the team are extremely professional and responsive. Can't recommend them highly en...
My system was installed in 2013 and I've been very happy with it's performance. I've been promoting solar ever since! Thank you LHS!!
Solar service worked for one day and has been down for nearly a month. Initially a positive experience has turned very negative. Poor communications, terrible service...I would not recommend.
Working with Lighthouse has been a great experience! Jay Johnson and his team were super helpful throughout the process and were able to work through some snags that almost kept me from being able to get solar at my home. The system has been great so far and overall, it was a very easy process that ...
I highly recommend Lighthouse Solar! Jay Johnson did a great job in helping me get the Solar Data Monitor connected, and also performed a walk-through of the system. He was very helpful in giving me the turorial and provided great customer service. I feel confident that if anything were to go wrong ...
it was good experience to work with them. I recently installed solar panel with them and it works fine and no issue with getting work completed and running.
We have increased electrical usage and called to find out about adding panels to our roof, to create a new net zero electrical exchange. Along with a timely and friendly response, the lighthouse employee went above and beyond to make sure our system was working at its optimal level and to figure out...
Lighthouse Solar not only installed (12) 250 watt solar panels but also a wind turbine. Both have been operating for a year and all is working great. We are on the grid so we draw power we produce and then any other needs are drawn from the power company and if we are producing more than we are us...
Working with Rob was easy even though my wife and I had many design changes. The installation teams were fast and professional and didn't leave a mess like other work we had done to the house. Lighthouse solar was recommended to me by my colleagues at work and I will continue to recommend them to an...
This year, we purchased a new home that had Lighthouse Solar panels.
When our roof started leaking, I was worried that dealing with the solar panels might delay getting our repair done.
But Jeff was able to get us on the schedule quickly, and both the de-install and re-install jobs took less than ...
Crew 23 was very professional. They explained what they were going to do in a matter I could understand, they made the conduits look neat and they cleaned up after themselves. Thank you so much.
My husband and I had a great experience with Lighthouse Solar. The first call my husband made was transferred to Stan Pipkin, the owner. After spending an hour educating my husband, Stan informed my husband that we'll receive an email from DJ Rosebaugh which we did. We found DJ to be very informa...
Lighthouse installed our 7.4 system (scoped by Texas Energy Experts) with real time production and consumption monitoring, and did a fantastic, clean job. Only one hiccup when monitoring went offline, and I got a call from their support as soon as I sent them an email. Turns out it was a firmware up...
With my residential design / build company; Finn Design Build, I have been fortunate to work with Lighthouse Solar on several of my projects including one of Austin's first LEED Platinum residences. Stan Pipkin and Jeff Bendall have always been responsive, informative, professional, and engaged thro...
We had Lighthouse install a solar thermal water heating system in 2011 and solar panels in 2013 and have been extremely pleased with both. Jeff is great to work with and goes above and beyond to ensure his customers are satisfied.
Worked with Stan and Lighthouse Solar to design a functional, yet beautiful frameless panel array above my carport structure on our new contemporary house. We developed a system to install these contemporary panels above a rough sawn cedar structure with a light steel framework. The results are uniq...
Lighthouse Solar was great all across the board. They were thorough in their quote and their analysis of our particular location and sun exposure, which was a big deal for us. They also guarantee that what they install will produce what they promise, another plus. The customer service was great all ...
The Lighthouse sales team was a delight to work with, and a breath of fresh air from other Solar companies in Austin.
First, I appreciate that Dixie sent me a full quote first, even before a phone call, to give me a ballpark idea of what Solar would cost. Second, Lighthouse use LG panels which ar...
Had an appointment with Curt and Jay this afternoon. The meeting was very informative and I look forward to seeing their proposal for our companies' Solar! The gentleman presented themselves very professional and I enjoyed the knowledge they have provided myself on our future investment. Thanks guys...
Great experience with Lighthouse Solar! Quotes are very clear and the team who did the installation is incredibly experienced, friendly and willing to answer any questions you have. Thank you for a great experience we'll for sure recommend you to anyone we know looking for solar!
I was very well pleased with the young man who came out to service our solar system , his name is Correy Russ . Correy Russ is very professional ,courteous and a hard working . Correy worked through the rain and hot blaring sun . I cannot say enough about this young man . Correy worked diligently . ...
My solar panels quit working. I called Lighthouse Solar. They arrived within a couple hours and corrected the problem. The solar array was working when they left. Thanks to Lighthouse for prompt efficient workers.
looks like I am late to the 5-star party! Erik, Stan and the team did a fine job. Quick, professional and worked well with our ideas and project. Highly recommend and feel good about helping our planet with all this sun! Loving Lighthouse!
Lighthouse installed my system many years ago and Jeff and the team have been super responsive for any and all questions and repairs. They also installed our pigeon guard and worked with me on a roof repair. Very professional and they do great work. Highly recommended.
I just finished hammering out an agreement to have Lighthouse Solar install a 4,875 watt PV system on our carport. The actual installation has not yet begun but so far I have been very happy with my interactions with Jay and Jeff. They are very knowledgeable and extremely helpful, bending over backw...
Lighthouse Solar was originally contracted to install my first set of panels in 2014, offsetting my bill by almost 50% by another company I was dealing with. Since then I wanted solar to, on average, "zero" my electric bill. So I contacted Lighthouse Solar directly, eliminating the middle man, whi...
I couldn't be happier with my solar system. I've had it 2 1/2 years now and Lighthouse took care of the few small issues that came up. Their initial forecasts of performance have been spot on as well - I produce about 80-90% of my total demand over the year. In addition, they did all the onerous ...
I've had nothing but fantastic service and experiences with Lighthouse Solar. From the initial pitch, to the financing, to a smooth and easy installation and activation with Jay Johnson, they've made the process of getting my home equipped with solar effortless. I am already seeing results and am ha...
Nailed it. Needed a deinstall/reinstall for a hail damaged roof replacement (solar panels were fine). Lighthouse Solar was easy to schedule, good communication, and did a great job. Crew was professional and left the jobsite clean.
I ran this request from design to final inspection while overseas! Jay and Jeff provided all the details I requested and ran through the system with me once I returned to the states. (2 days after our go live date). The crew kepted everything clean during the installation. The best equipment f...
Good communication, excellent work. We have worked with this company for over 5 years and have found them responsive and reliable every time. Highly recommend.
I have been incredibly happy with Lighthouse Solar. It started when William (no longer with them), came by to make sure he could get my panels online before the Austin Energy inspection. Then Jay was there when the inspection happened and answered all the questions I had, even reassuring the inspect...
Excellent service! I called them to help with monitoring issue with our solar. The original company is out of business. Burke came out on 4th of July & checked for proper system operation & provided great direction for resolving monitoring issue.
We have enjoyed working with Lighthouse on our recent solar panel installation and electrical panel upgrade. We look forward to years of return on our investment and are happy to have contributed to our community's use of a responsible energy source. Go Solar it's the right thing!
The very best on helping us out with a broken solar pannel on our van. And, they are in a beautifull spot, employees are crazy nice. We enjoy the solar power everywhere now!
I appreciated the professionalism and expertise I received with Lighthouse Solar. My design, installation and rebate were completed in a timely manner. I have had no problems with my system since it was installed 2 years ago. The other nice thing is that my electric bill was $26.00 last month!
I had a very good experience with Lighthouse Solar. They were efficient and professional. I definitely recommend.
Great service. Jay Johnson took ownership of my light gauge troubles recently and was able to resolve them in a quick and extremely professional manner. He went above and beyond to ensure I was extremely satisfied with the visit and even did a quick walk through with my system.
Lighthouse Solar installed the system for our home almost 1 year ago. They were great to work with. They were on time, efficient, polite and very respectful of our property. They explained the system to us and answered all our questions. They did not try to 'over sell' us but were very clear on ...
We had our system installed in May and received our first full bill for the month of July and I was extremely pleased to see that our system overproduced by ~10% of what was projected. The entire process with Lighthouse was professionally handled and we are really happy with our system.
We had an outstanding experience with Lighthouse Solar on our remodel. Stan Pipkin, Robb Childs and Jeff Bindall designed and installed a system which looks great on our roof and delivers enough power for our whole house and electric car. With the rebates and tax credit we think the system will pa...
We worked with Lighthouse Solar on the installation of solar panels on our home. When installation was complete, Jay Johnson came by to show us how to monitor our data in real time! This was such a cool experience and Jay was extremely professional. We are very excited to have this eco-friendly reso...
This is a wonderful company! We appreciate all the help they've given us - even four years after the installation. Many thanks, Jeff.

Lighthouse was great in terms of price and quality. I requested quotes from 5 different solar installers. They by far were the best in terms of attention to detail. Great customer service by Jay Bramble and didn't try to oversell me.
They installed solar panel at my house 4 years ago, and managed it very professionally. Recently I had an issue because the Powerline adapter connecting the inverter to the internet broke, and they helped me find a replacement without requiring a service visit.
In times when getting a repair/service professional to call back in 24 hours, it's nearly unheard of to have all the repair issues identified and work starting in less than 24 hours! The Lighthouse Solar service team was responsive, professional, courteous and fairly priced for the work completed at...
My panels are up and I'm just waiting for the city to inspect them. I had a very pleasant, painless experience with Lighthouse, and enjoyed consulting with Robb, who designed my system, and Jeff who managed the project, and with the crew that installed it in just about the hours. I strongly recommen...
Our experience with Lighthouse Solar, and Robb in particular, was outstanding! Extremely knowledgeable team, they're lovely to work with and the level of customer service makes the process hassle-free. They handled all aspects of the project, including securing city and federal rebates. I have no ...
Lighthouse Solar is freakin' awesome! I have worked with these guys for years and they are the all around best solar company in Austin. Without any hesitation, I would recommend these guys to anyone interested in solar.
Lighthouse installed a huge array of panels for us several years ago. They have always been super in terms of quality of installation and service. We even had to have it uninstalled and reinstalled after a hail storm destroyed our roof. But it never damaged the panels. We are well pleased with t...
I have been working with several companies over the last six months and every one of them failed to follow up, communicate effectively, and provide details until Lighthouse Solar. They were efficient, communicated at ever stage, and followed up consistently. I'd recommend them to anyone that was t...
This company does great work and are reliable when help is needed.
Lighthouse solar was very professional, timely and helpful with our solar issues. Jeff called us back right away to help even though they were not our original contact. We highly recommend Lighthouse solar for value and professionalism.
I recently purchased a new house that included solar panels from Lighthouse. I've always wanted to live in a house with solar. Jay Johnson was the tech who came into explain and set up the system for me. He was great to work with and set me up for success. The ability to monitor both consumption in ...
Lighthouse gave a more detailed quote, their installation was thorough, and the performance has been as promised. In addition they stand behind their product.
I could not be happier with my choice.
My solar works amazingly, and Lighthouse did a great job installing and designing my system. Two bills so far with $100 credit for my electric. Also, Jaquedriann Johnson my project manager was absolutely amazing and made sure I was alright every step of the way.
From start to finish, I have been very pleased with Lighthouse Solar. They were very good and helped me to decide what I needed and how best to place and install the panels.
Lighthouse Solar installed our electric vehicle charging station, and a larger main electric panel to accommodate a solar photovoltaic installation in the future. Both their bid and the actual installation were very professional.
Recently the circuit breaker for the charging station began tripping,...
Lighthouse solar is freaking awesome at what they do! Thanks Robb for the greatwork!
jay and jeff were awesome. the whole process was relatively easy and now that we are up and running check out this energy bill from Green Mountain Energy with our solar credits.
What a great company! From the moment they were assigned, to the final walk-through of the system after it was up and running (thank you Jay!), Lighthouse Solar was amazing. The installation was fast and efficient, the part that took the longest was waiting on the power company! I would absolutely r...
Very professional and hard working team. They pay attention to the details and perform high quality work. Would recommned them for your next project.
"Jay was great to work with and did what he said he would"
If you're shopping around for solar panels, let me save you a lot of time and just recommend you go with Lighthouse Solar.
My wife and I have always known solar panels were for us and we've went to the Pedernales Electric Cooperative's solar tour for the past 3 years. We definitely wanted to take...
When I expressed my interest in exploring the solar energy option to the folks at Lighthouse, Jeff came out the following day and took measurements of my home and made note of the condition of my existing roofing. The process was simple and convenient. Within the next couple days he had converted ...
We ve been so pleased with our solar array from Lighthouse we ve bought two more! I coordinated the installation of a solar array for my mother s property in the country. Every step of the process was great. The representative that helped plan and pick out specific products for her energy needs wa...
Lighthouse Solar did an outstanding job from start to finish on my PV system. I first attended a solar fair sponsored by my electric company, PEC, in Austin in the fall. Of the 10 companies represented, I selected 5 to solicit bids and received 6 proposals from 4 companies. All the companies knew m...
Jeff came to our house and talked to us about the best location for solar panels and the condition of our roof and anything that would need to be done before they could install them. That included him getting up on our roof to check the conditions of the shingles and the best placement due to locati...
We had solar panels put on our roof six months ago and have had negative electricity bills ever since. Lighthouse solar rocks, it was easy, they walk you through the design, rebates etc you can't go wrong.
Jon
During 2018 we completed several energy efficiency projects in our home. By far the most fun was getting 18 solar panels in our roof, and a lot of what made this such a fantastic experience is having Lighthouse Solar complete this project. Their commitment to quality extends beyond the installation,...
I had my solar installed by lighthouse about two years ago. Love getting my PEC bill to see the true impact. Now I don t have to feel bad when I crank my air conditioner down. Loved working with them, they were super knowledgeable and handled all the paperwork I needed except my HOA approval, but ...
About 4 years in on our solar system installed by lighthouse. Couldn't be happier! Called recently to get help with our lightgauge solar monitoring system. Service was friendly and issue was resolved quickly. I love how we can see how much energy we are using versus how much we are producing.
Overall A+ rating. Excellent service from initial call through installation. You will not find a better group. Our system was designed to generate 70% of our needs and has been performing as it was designed. If you are considering Solar, you need to talk to Lighthouse.
