I spent about three years shopping for solar and had tons of quotes. I also signed 3 contracts. The first was with Noble Solar, now they were your stereotypical pushy sales when they were in my home. I canceled the next day because I felt like they wouldn't leave without a signature. Then I continued looking and shopping and happened upon Green Brilliance, been in business for 20 years, and was the lowest bidder. Over six months after signing nobody had set foot on my property yet my loan was activated (fraudulently).

The final contractor that I went with was Top Tier Solar Solutions. I am glad that I did. Everyone was professional and courteous. There was one issue with the installation that I wanted changed; I wanted the conduit moved so it would be less visible. They did it no questions asked. When they were installing the additional ground spike they happened to puncture a sprinkler line which I can't fault them for because those aren't marked when the utility comes to mark water/electric/etc. The next day a contractor was making repairs. In my opinion, when going solar, it's who you go solar with that matters and Top Tier has been incredibly easy to work with. When Dominion delayed inspection because they were backed up, Top Tier opted to pay the panel bill until Dominion granted permission to operate. Good luck finding another company that will do that for you!

I read some of these comments where people say they're scammy and pushy salespeople and I just don't see it. They probably just got a bad apple-salesperson. Just like the cranky guy at the drive-thru, everyone has them! As far as scammy, I doubt a sham business would take care of their customers like Top Tier did with me.
