Representative review excerpt: "Save a lot was the most flexible with their design and while their quote was the middle quote it provided more battery storage and 1/3 more power."

Sales follow-through watch-out. A small number of reviewers report delayed responses or gaps in understanding local requirements, which affected their experience with the proposal process. Representative review excerpt: "My sales guy stopped responding for weeks at a time."

At the same time, a few reviewers describe concerns around timing, deposits, or costs that were not fully resolved as expected.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote
