Sales & proposal integrity
Sales Integrity7.6/10
Reviewers mostly describe Green Conception’s sales process as straightforward, professional, and low-pressure. A small set of complaints centers on deposits, upfront payment expectations, and a few cases where customers say the initial proposal or warranty details were not explained as clearly as they wanted.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote
Clear, low-pressure sales process. Many reviewers say the team was honest, professional, and easy to work with during the proposal stage. Representative review excerpt: "Super professional, honest, and easy to work with."
Upfront terms sometimes questioned. A smaller group reports confusion or frustration around deposits, consultation charges, or payment timing. One reviewer also said the warranty was not fully explained at the start. Representative review excerpt: "Demanded $$$ up front and got nasty when I asked to sign contract and pay on job completion."
Some proposal details were clarified later. A few reviewers say process details, such as equipment availability or warranty explanations, were ultimately addressed once the project was underway. These comments suggest the sales experience was usually workable, though not always seamless. Representative review excerpt: "I also wish the warranty was better explained in the beginning but again everything was answered up front allowing me to make best judgment."
Price & financing transparency
Price Transparency6.5/10
Still, complaints do show up around deposits, surprise charges, and a few post-sale cost issues, so this category reads less consistently than the strongest parts of the profile.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote
Several reviewers felt pricing was fair. Many customers say the final price felt reasonable and that they did not run into surprise adjustments. Representative review excerpt: "Green Conception did a good job at a fair price, so I was totally satisfied."
Unexpected charges came up for some customers. A recurring complaint involves added costs or payment terms that reviewers say were not clearly set out in advance. One reviewer described being charged for a consultation, while another reported an added bill tied to electrical panel work. Representative review excerpt: "They tried to stick me with an $800 bill because they moved the location of my electrical panel and then still needed to replace the old panel."
Financing and post-sale costs were not always clear. A few reviewers mention deposits, software or monitoring-related charges, or other follow-up costs they say they did not expect. These comments suggest buyers should read the proposal carefully and confirm any ongoing expenses. Representative review excerpt: "They have non-refundable deposits, not a SGIP contractor, and come across as more DIY for-hire than a professional solar contractor."
Communication & coordination
Communication7.5/10
Most reviewers describe the company as responsive and organized once the project was moving. The main complaint pattern is inconsistent updates, with some customers saying they had to chase the team for information or felt coordination broke down at key points.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote
Responsive during many projects. Reviewers frequently say the operations or project team answered questions quickly and kept them informed. Several mention that communication felt clear and that the team managed multiple moving parts well. Representative review excerpt: "Communication was great, everything was done on time, and the system looks perfect."
Some customers had to chase updates. A smaller but meaningful group reports that delays or issues were not communicated proactively. These reviewers say they had to follow up repeatedly to get status updates. Representative review excerpt: "We were never proactively informed of any delays, issues, or challenges by the contractor -- every update had to be chased down by us."
Coordination was often good, but not universal. Even some less-than-perfect reviews still mention the team eventually staying on top of the project or helping the installation move forward. That pattern suggests coordination was often solid, though not always consistent from start to finish. Representative review excerpt: "Process took some time and I was a little worried when they mentioned that the original panels that were quoted were out of stock and had to use lower wattage..."
Timeline reliability
Timeline Reliability7.0/10
Timeline feedback is generally positive, but this is one of the more uneven categories. Many reviewers say installation, permits, and inspections were handled on schedule, while others report notable delays, slow PTO progress, or missed expectations around completion timing.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote
Many projects finished on schedule. Several reviewers say the installation was completed on time and that permits or inspections were handled as part of the process. These comments indicate the company often moved projects along without major timing issues. Representative review excerpt: "Communication was great, everything was done on time, and the system looks perfect."
Some projects ran well behind. Other reviewers describe significant delays, including long waits for completion or permission to operate. A few say they were months into the project before activation was resolved. Representative review excerpt: "We are 6+ months into our solar installation and still do not have Permission to Operate (PTO)."
Delays were sometimes acknowledged, but still disruptive. A mixed set of reviews notes that delays can happen in solar projects, while also describing tense or prolonged timelines. In those cases, customers appear to have accepted the explanation but still felt the schedule was slower than expected. Representative review excerpt: "So it took a month for the company to work through whatever issues they had, and although we did have several tense conversations with Nick, I have to say, he..."
Workmanship & site care
Workmanship8.1/10
Reviewers commonly describe the installation quality as strong, with crews often praised for professionalism and efficient work. Complaints are less frequent, but a few customers mention cleanup issues, site handling concerns, or follow-up fixes after the install.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote
Installation quality is often praised. Many reviewers say the finished system looked good and was installed to a high standard. Some also mention the crew used the right methods and hardware for the property. Representative review excerpt: "The solar system was installed to a very high standard, and—nearly a year later—it continues to operate without any issues whatsoever."
Cleanup and site handling were not always perfect. A small number of customers report issues such as residue, staining, or needing help with delivery-day logistics. These comments point to occasional site-care shortcomings rather than a broad workmanship pattern. Representative review excerpt: "Roofing installation was complete but we had issues with tar residue leaking staining the driveway."
Crews were often described as efficient and professional. Several reviewers say the installation went smoothly and, in some cases, was finished quickly. That suggests the crews generally performed well once on site. Representative review excerpt: "Once the crew arrived our installation was done in one day."
Long-term support & performance
Long-Term Support8.2/10
Long-term feedback is a strength overall. Many reviewers say the system has performed well after activation and that warranty or troubleshooting help was available, though a smaller group reports slow service follow-up or difficulty getting post-install support.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote
Systems often performed well after installation. Many reviewers report strong production and stable operation after the system was turned on. Several mention low bills or no problems over extended periods. Representative review excerpt: "The solar system was installed to a very high standard, and—nearly a year later—it continues to operate without any issues whatsoever."
Some post-install support was slower than expected. A smaller set of reviews says service help was harder to obtain or that customers had to troubleshoot some issues themselves. These comments suggest support quality can be uneven once the system is live. Representative review excerpt: "I can only imagine how much harder it would be to get a service call on a broken system, all while the charges continue to rack up through Edison."
Warranty and troubleshooting help was sometimes available. A few reviewers describe receiving useful direction after an issue came up, even if the process was not fully hands-on. That points to generally workable post-install support, with some limitations. Representative review excerpt: "I've only had one issue with my solar panels but they were helpful in directing me to the Solar panel manufacturer to troubleshoot myself."
