Daniel Martinez Review of EmPower Solar
I had my system installed in October 2020. Let me ...
I had my system installed in October 2020. Let me start out by saying I did not pick empower solar because of there reviews. I picked them because of there products. I also choose empower to do my mother in-laws solar project. So let me start off with my sales rep. Scott. He was great he answered all my questions and it took a while to finally build the right system for both projects. Unfortunately what was written down on paper in regards to the federal and tax credits were a lie. It was all a sales tactic to get you to sign I did not receive the amount that was told to me by Scott. So now I have till June to pay the $23,000 or it will get rolled over into my loan. I am not getting that back from my taxes. I encourage anyone who s looking to go solar to first talk to your tax guy. Now my next issue with this company was my project manager Georgia she was horrible. She had a lack for communication every time I had to call her to find out what was going on and when I finally go in touch with her it sounded like she just woke up. Everyone was working form home and it was like they were talking in there bed. My solar project was gonna be 29 panels originally but I had my roof redone and I moved somethings around. So I asked Georgia to setup a droid to remeasure my roof to see if I can get 30 panels she said the they will use Google Maps to look at my roof. I tried to explain to her that my roof is new and Google Maps is old it s not updated after a week of trying to convince her she finally had the droid come out and after measuring they confirmed I can fit 30 panels. Now the paperwork had to be updated because I signed for 29 panels and wasted over a week try to convince Georgia to measure the roof. Then it was just a lot of back a forth with her and she was not very attentive. Then the install team came and put up the unit so far I have no issues with the install team. That s why I gave the one star. Then my system was up and running but I had an issue with the pvs6 unit it was dropping the WiFi signal. I dealt with Jose for like 3 months trying to figure this out it was very frustrating finally he sent someone to troubleshoot it didn t work. Then again someone came out and the changed the unit now the WiFi signal was good but I couldn t see the amount of usage on the app. I spoke to jose he said he had to contact sunpower but It would take time cause he s involved in an audit. I waited and waited and waited and nothing. First of all you re audit is not my problem. My problem is my system I m still a customer and I should come first. I spoke to the supervisor of that department and the issue was fixed in a day. Unbelievable that that s all it took to fix the issue. Now I come to the permit closing department. My project was a little involved so I thought I was looking to get a little personal touch with closing my permit. They assigned me some guy again working from home that seemed sleeping when I spoke to him. When I tried talking to him to tell him what was going on he acted like I was bothering him. So I didn t want to deal with this guy. I dealt with the supervisor Rory. He was great he answered all the questions and we learned that the paperwork the closing department had were wrong cause they never updated the amount of panels on the paperwork so that was a setback. But other then that Rory was great that s why they got 2 stars. So based on my experience it is rediculouse to me that I have to deal with a supervisor to get things done over there. And I m still trying to get the $500 friends and family check from them since November. I can t believe what an unorganized business this is. I wouldn t recommend this company
