I had solar heating for my pool already installed when I bought my house. When I fired up the pump for the season yesterday I had a number of risers that squirrels had chewed though which created a significant leak. I contacted Andrew since the service tag on the equipment mentioned his company as the installer. He gave me the plugs I needed to fix the system and instructions on how to make the repair. I tried to pay him for the parts but since they were simple parts he wouldn't take any money. Truly great customer service which is what you're looking for when you need someone to build something for you. Highly recommended for your solar projects.

Going solar requires a lot of steps, but Solar Energy Solutions made it as painless as possible. They were a pleasure to work with, and I would use them again, if I ever have the need.

Solar Energy Solutions was great through the entire process of buying a 4.2kW system for my house. Chuck and Andrew were prompt with answering my questions, and keeping me informed on the timeline of the installation, permit process, and getting the tax credits. I'm very happy with how the panels and inverter were installed. I have already recommended them to my friends and co-workers.

I bought my house about 8 years ago, and this house came with a swimming pool and solar water heater panels for the pool. Since our daughter was just born then, we decided not to use the pool and closed the pool for the past 8 years. Now that she is a good swimmer, we decided to open the pool. We have new electrical wiring for the new variable speed pump and brand new filter. And it was time to turn on the solar water heater. As soon as I turned it on, it started leaking. Fortunately Andrew's business card was still stapled on my pool shed wall and he kept the same number for all these years. I called him and he called me back right away. He came over to my place the next day, and started working on my solar water heater. I told him that I was thinking about purchasing a natural gas heater to extend the season. That would have cost me over $2500 since I have a 30k gallon pool. He said I would not need one since the solar heating is very efficient, but his suggestion was to give this season a try without a supplemental heating and if we are not happy, then we can install a heater next season. I thought this was a reasonable suggestion. He immediately worked on the leaks, and plugged all of them up in no time. As it turned out, he installed them in 1991. So I have a 25 year old solar water heater. As soon as he finished repairing the solar heaters, I turned on the pump and I could see that the pool temperature was rising right away. The temperature went up by 10 degrees, from frigid 63 degrees to more comfortable 73 degrees, in about 4 hours and that evening all of us are swimming in the pool. Who knows for how long my solar water heater was not operational, but mere couple of hundred bucks and one hour later it was up and running. It shows that the product he carries are of very high quality and his workmanship withstands years of harsh environment. I am quite happy to learn that we didn't have to replace any of our solar water heater panels and Andrew didn't push me to spend more money with him. However, he made a recommendation to get an automated valve so that when the solar heater isn't efficient, it bypasses the solar and just recirculates the pool water so that we would not lose any heat through the solar heater panels. I thought this was good idea, and Andrew came back the next day and installed the automated valve and it works very well. I am hoping that we are going to have a lot of comfortable fun with our swimming pool this season. Thank you, Andrew!
