EXCELLENT Based on 735 reviews Posted on Google Charlie GunnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After reviewing multiple proposals, we selected NCSolar to install solar panels on our home. All interactions with representatives were professional, cordial, and effective from design and proposal through installation and start up. We ended up with a 37 panel, 16.28 kW DC system currently without batteries (we already had a gas generator, but batteries could be added later) and it has operated without any issues for the first three months with no indication of trouble. From interactions throughout the project, I believe they will address any issues in the same manner as they completed the project. The time for installation was about four and a half months from signing the agreement to powering up the system. They completely handled required permitting, HOA approval, and utility interconnection requirements with no problems. During the process, each time I had questions they were handled promptly whether by email or phone call. Installation personnel completed the work in the two days promised and left our property in great shape. We are very happy with the system which has dropped our monthly bills so far to just a little above the utility company connection charge and taxes and reduced the carbon footprint of the house regardless of who lives here for years to come.Posted on Google Jamie PerryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very helpful and super easy processPosted on Google Juan C VazquezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m writing this after hitting a major milestone: I have officially gone an entire year without a Duke Power bill. I worked with Jesse Solomon to design a 19.74 kW system with 47 panels and two Tesla Powerwall 3s. From a performance standpoint, the system has been flawless. It’s a great feeling to be completely self-sufficient and know the battery backup is there if the grid goes down. However, if you are looking for a "quick" project, just be aware that the process takes time. From the initial site visit to final PTO (Permission to Operate), it was a long road. NC Solar Now uses an automated tracking system to keep you updated, which is helpful for seeing where the project stands, but it can feel a bit impersonal at times. There were moments when I would have preferred a quick phone call with a human being rather than receiving another standardized email update. That said, the quality of the work is top-notch. They included critter guards and used high-end components. If you can be patient with the administrative and installation timeline, the end result—and the lack of a power bill—is well worth the wait.Posted on Google Lee MontroseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience all around. NC Solar now provided a true turnkey solution. They had the best price, handled all the setup with my power company, applied for all the permits needed, and were always there to answer my questions. I can't recommend them enough!Posted on Google Robert BrauerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great product and installation crews were top-notch!Posted on Google Phil BeaumontTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so glad we chose to partner with NC Solar Now, Inc. for our solar panels and back-up battery. From start to finish and even now, they have been supportive and helpful, responding right away to any questions or concerns we have had. Every team (Sales, Customer Success, Project Design, Inspections and Permitting, Financing, Roof Operations, Electrical, et al.) has coordinated with us and with one another so that the process has been seamless. They even have an HOA Coordinator if you need one! And, if you're wondering if solar is worth it, our last electric bill before solar was $318. The first bill after solar was $218, the next was $118, and this last one was a credit of $9.00! Choose solar, and when you do, choose NC Solar Now, Inc.!Posted on Google Ruben VanderDuimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. NC Solar provides an excellent product and wonderful service at an affordable price. They are a one-stop shop for all of your solar and energy storage needs. I highly recommend their service.Posted on Google Rocco FerrusiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been in the construction industry for many years. In that time, I took note that NC Solar has consistently earned a reputation as an elite solar company by inspectors and praised by homeowners. It’s unusual to have this combination, including being competitively priced. NC Solar was all of the above, and then some. They were responsive throughout the process to questions and provided helpful information. Installer’s were professional, courteous, and clearly well-trained. Thank you for an exceptional experience.Posted on Google Gaurav GoelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve reached our five-month milestone for solar generation! Many thanks to Ryan, Jesse and their team for their professional work on the installation. The proposal quote before the installation was very competitive. I checked with several solar providers but nobody matched with the price and responsiveness.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
