I chose Planet Solar because of Ben Siebert, their lead salesperson. Ben responded timely to my questions, of which I had many, in a timely and patient manner. When I was ready, under no pressure from him, he came to my house, gave me a formal bid, and explained fully and clearly all the details that go with it like number and type of panels, panel location, construction costs, timing of construction etc. Ben was low pressure and left a trustworthy impression. I also went with Planet Solar because they offered a very good competitive price for the system I wanted to have installed. Also, Ben would interact with me in the manner I wished to communicate with him and that was via email. Another local company would not do this (Solar Negotiators) and as a result of this, and their insistence on not giving me a quote for what I believe was a superior solar panel, I stopped pursuing business with this solar company. Additionally my solar project required that I trim and/or remove several trees next to my house so that the solar system could work properly (i.e. not be hindered by shading). This was a big ordeal for me because my wife and I needed to come to agreement on which trees would remain and for those that remain how much trimming would be done. Ben was patient with me as I went through this decision making process, he found a very good and affordable tree trimmer, and my wife and I made the decision to move forward and get the solar system installed.

My solar system goal was to have 100% percent of my overall electrical energy provided by solar. This effectively meant that I wanted a zero true up annual electricity bill with my local energy provider. This past June (2020), I received the first annual electricity true-up bill and it was for $0 (actually got a small credit for a bit of excess energy production). Planet Solar did what they promised to do and as such I am extremely happy and pleased with their performance. And to top it off, given I live in an area where dust can settle on the solar panels, Ben also showed me how to clean my new solar panels and gave me the materials to do it! By the way, cleaning solar panels is really easy and can be done with a hose and a spraying attachment (i.e. Fuller Brush Window Cleaner).

Throughout the residential solar system purchase process I found Planet Solar, and all of its employees whether they be in administration, financing, billing, and/or construction, to be reliable, trustworthy, responsive, and a very friendly solar construction business that provides high quality affordable solar systems. I really enjoyed working with Planet Solar, am very pleased with their service and finalized product, and as such I highly recommend them.
