Solar.com - A Pick My Solar Company

I highly recommend Pick My Solar to anyone interested in setting up a home solar energy system. They take the guesswork out of the process and provide all of the necessary information to get started: design requirements, system equipment and installer cost calculations, and obtaining a final contract. You don't have to pay anything to get a system custom designed for your power usage and home location, including several quotes for the complete job. I was surprised to learn that a solar installation at my house was a lot less expensive than I had assumed, even before accounting for the federal tax rebate. It feels great to know that my home system is putting solar energy onto the grid and that I will get credit for the energy. Thank you Pick My Solar for making it easy and affordable to convert my home to solar power.

I worked with Justin was just great. He was knowledgeable, accessible and patient. In the end I am using another company mostly because Pick My Solar was a late bidder and although they did price match I had been working a couple of other companies longer. I would highly recommend working with Justin.

Referred in from a friend: Pick my Solar did a decent job on the front end of the project, and an excellent job on the tail end. There was some confusion as there was a personnel shift early on but once we got past that and got the new folks spun up to speed on what we were looking for things went pretty smoothy.I do recommend checking your paperwork very carefully, I found an error that could have been quite expensive. But, I believe it was an honest mistake. Our install was a tricky tight space, with lots of shade to avoid and multiple surfaces, that also needed roofing done. We were able to get 14 panels in, have been seeing good production and both the roofing and the solar install were both aesthetically and functionally completed to the highest standards.

I worked with Madeline - she was great. I would recommend anyone seriously considering going solar, and who is ready to receive bids to start with Pick My Solar. (Ultimately I did not select a Pick My Solar offer to me - but their process is the most helpful and easiest to deal with, of all the research/work I did on my own).Pick My Solar is a very good site. They are middlemen yes, and will make a profit from you (and the install company) if you go through them. But if you want a one-stop place that can handle it all for you and who will work on your side and get you several good offers to compare/select: Pick My Solar is for you. I liked them very much: they are knowledgeable and have good connections. They will get you good offers, BUT if you use them as a starting point, you should be able to get a BEST offer yourself (that they will then price match anyway - or at least come sorta close).So start with Pick My Solar. Have them get several bids for you - as they ask questions about your needs be honest with them. They really are good listeners and want you to get the best system they can design. And as I say above, if you are not a hands on consumer or in a hurry or not wanting to be bothered with details that you have to wade through, Pick My Solar will take that worry out of the equation - and do very well for you.Here is where Pick My Solar and I went separate ways on my solar system: once I got several bids from Pick My Solar (they will show you three), I contacted the best solar installers in my area (do googles search and find 5 companies that consistently get 5 star reviews in your area. Call each of them and talk to them - they will each have on staff salespeople. Have them draw up proposals for you. Once you have those proposals in hand, compare them to the Pick My Solar bids. And then tell one or two of those companies, that 'hey, look, Pick My Solar did this design for this (X) price..if you can give me the same wattage and basically match their design/system for 10-15% less, I will sign a contract with you.' Those companies will come down in price I guarantee it (so long as you seem serious about purchasing a system). Once you have that company's final bid, ask Pick My Solar to match it: you will find that their three final best offers which they told you were their final best offers - were not indeed their best! They will match (almost...close but not quite) the direct offers you received from each company (but from a different installer - one they often work with locally). So yes you are using Pick My Solar against the best companies in your area, and then the local offers to get Pick My Solar to price match...If you are uncomfortable negotiating like this - don't do it. But you should know that each of these companies will try and get $2,000-3,000 (at least) from you, that you could get them to come down on if you play one off against the other. Why should they get your money and not you?

My husband and I unequivocally recommend anyone interested in purchasing solar for their home to work through Pick My Solar. Even if you are well informed about the options, your life will be made much easier and you will get a better deal if Pick My Solar represents you. Justin Delano, the project manager at Pick My Solar who brokered the purchase of solar panels for our house, was an unparalleled advocate. He is knowledgeable, personable, and consistently available to answer our questions.
