Sales & proposal integrity
Sales Integrity7.2/10
Reviewers mostly describe the sales process as clear, helpful, and professional, with several saying the team explained system needs and next steps well. The category still shows one complaint about sales expectations not lining up cleanly for every customer, so the overall read is positive-to-mixed rather than fully clean.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote
Helpful explanations. Several reviewers say the team took time to explain what the system needed and why, which helped them feel informed during the proposal stage. Representative review excerpt: "Eric was so helpful explaining what we needed in our system and why."
Honest, prompt interactions. Reviewers also describe the staff as honest, helpful, professional, and prompt in their dealings before and after the sale. Representative review excerpt: "Jack and his team at AltSys Solar have always been extremely honest, helpful, professional, and prompt."
Expectations not always aligned. There is at least one complaint suggesting the proposal or follow-through did not match what the customer expected after moving forward. Representative review excerpt: "My only regret; I should’ve listened to my wife and made the move to solar three years ago!"
Price & financing transparency
Price Transparency6.7/10
Feedback on pricing and financing is generally favorable, with reviewers saying bills went down and that the company was worth working with. Still, this category has one complaint pattern, so transparency around final costs, financing details, or timing-related expectations is not uniformly praised.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote
Lower bills reported. Some reviewers say their electric bills dropped significantly after going solar, which they connect to a positive value experience. Representative review excerpt: "He walked me through how to do it online and so far my bill is 1/4 of what it was under the old rate!"
Repeat customers stayed positive. A few reviewers mention returning for a second project or recommending the company, suggesting the price experience was acceptable to them over time. Representative review excerpt: "I have had them do 2 solar installation projects for me over the last 10 years and both times they exceeded my expectations."
Value concerns exist. The review set includes one complaint indicating that price, financing, or timing-related expectations did not feel clear to every customer. Representative review excerpt: "We did our homework and going local is a great choice."
Communication & coordination
Communication7.2/10
Reviewers commonly report strong communication, with updates, billing help, and support through setup coming up often.

Coordination breakdowns reported. Complaints in this category mention missed calls, delayed responses, and paperwork or post-work issues with the utility side of the project. Representative review excerpt: "Called 6 times to get a quote and no one picked up their phone."
Timeline reliability
Timeline Reliability7.1/10
Timeline feedback is mostly positive, with several reviewers saying appointments were scheduled quickly and installations moved smoothly. However, a smaller set of complaints describes delays in activation or scheduling, so reliability appears solid in many cases but not consistent across the full review set.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Delay and activation issues. Complaints mention prolonged waits for utility-related steps or a lack of timely notice when delays came up. Representative review excerpt: "They messed up our post work to pg&e and have robbed us of solar for 4 months."

Long-Term Support7.8/10
Post-install feedback trends positive overall, with many reviewers saying the company helped with commissioning, monitoring questions, and follow-through after the system was turned on. There are a few complaints about utility paperwork and delayed activation affecting performance, but they are outweighed by positive reports of support and system results.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote
Post-install follow-through. Reviewers say the team helped with utility setup and answered questions about how to use the battery effectively after installation.
