I had several different solar companies come out to my house. Most of them made claims that were clearly refuted by data I had in my hand (mostly the places that push their lease programs using phony data to make you think purchasing is a bad idea). Only TFS and GeoInnovation gave me numbers that made sense. They were also the only companies that checked out my home's electric to make sure everything was OK. I chose TFS because my research made me lean toward SunPower PV modules, but I would recommend looking into GeoInnovation as well as TFS.

The total time to complete was astoundingly quick. Other companies were saying about 6 months. TFS took a few weeks -- the actual install was a few days. And the workmanship is top notch.

I used TFS's financing option. Other than a couple of quick calls to clarify one or two things, the process couldn't have been easier -- aside from an initial deposit, everything was done by phone and email until AFTER the system was up and running, when all I had to do was go in and sign a few things.

From the initial meeting with TFS to the final signing of the paperwork, the entire process took just a few hours of my time, and my electric bill was basically replaced with a nearly-identical finance payment that will eventually go away and then I'll be enjoying clean energy for zero cost.
