Very good deal for my panels. They designed a great system for me that offsets my power bill by over 100%. I also like how I can see everything that’s happening on my phone so I can stay connected with the system

Solar Installation

I really felt at ease working with them. The sales person that I met with was very knowledgeable and explained everything I needed to know. From there, the company worked diligently to get the panels installed on my roof without any problems. Had pleasant conversations with multiple members of their team, and it was fun learning more about solar as well.

Good Experience

They helped me get the best deal for solar on our house.
price: 4.7 stars
Responsiveness: 4.7 stars
Speed: 5 stars
Quality: 5 stars

The cost through Polaron is financed interest free with the option to paydown any amount at any time and also you can transfer the contract if you sell your home. We only paid for the connecting permit upfront and our monthly bill is $120, cant wait to see our savings!

Wonderful to hear. Remember that your savings will be a combination of the credits you use on your bill (sent to the grid, and pulled for later use), as well as the energy that you use directly from your solar system (never hits the meter). Best to use your monitoring unit to see how much you produced in that period as well.

Fantastic. Glad to know you are happy with the production as well as the projection. It is always a great feeling when your saving, and that will only get bigger as the cost of power continues to rise.

Installation

They provided exactly what we were looking for, we highly recommend them, especially with their financing option. Their easy to use web application shows minute by minute what’s happening. I can see today’s energy is 16.9 kWh for example, and each PV module has been working well. It is really interesting even to see the changes in the weather throughout the year on it.

Solar

Found them online and they were very quick to reply when I sent in my questions. I went with their finance option and so far so good. I've had the panels installed now for a few weeks so it hasn't been too long, but I haven't had any problems. Everyone I talked to on their team was also very pleasant and professional. Happy I went solar.

Wonderful Service

I really appreciate Polaron’s dedication to their customers. I’ve had my panels for a couple of years now and this year we found lower production from several of our panels that turned out to be sensitive inverters that detected grids instability that triggered some protection. They helped me remotely access and change the parameters and my inverters are working fine now and producing normal numbers. Nice to see I can rely on them to help maintain my panels even after all this time since the installation.

Solar power

10 days in with a 10 kw system and I love it. We only used 146 kw from the grid and provided our power during the days plus sent out about 400kw to the grid for storage. Days are getting shorter and some cloudy but still love the output. Great professional company to deal with the hole way through, along with friendly to talk along with informative. We would very highly recommend Polaron Solar Energy. Monthly is $160.44 over 12 years. Pretty well pays for itself. :-)

Great Company

Very happy with our solar panels and the savings they provide us. It was a pleasant surprise to see them overproduce electricity every month but we definitely love the extra money in our pockets. Highly recommend installing solar panels and going with this company. They offered us a nice plan and were great to work with!

That is great to hear. Our projections are based on historical weather and the positioning of your solar system on the roof. There will be years where the system potentially over produces and some where it will fall short. Overall we try to be as accurate as possible, but the weather can be quite unpredictable :).
It is great to hear though, you had a strong year of production!
