Great company. I had a problem before moving and they came right out and dealt with it immediately and efficiently. The staff were excellent, even helping me with an issue I had while they were out there. Now that I sold my house I am really missing the 8+ years of solar that contributed to my low electric bill. I highly recommend Solar Impact for anyone considering solar.

I had Solar Impact install an upgraded solar array on my roof with a Tesla Power Wall. The system has been fantastic and has kept my house powered even when the neighborhood and this side of the City has been hit by power outages. Producing my own power also helps loosen the reliance on GRU for power (I actually sell them power!) Highly recommend going with Solar Impact.

Solar Impact installed just over 9 kW of solar panels on our roof as well as two Tesla power walls. The installation was terrific and we are currently generating just about as much electricity as we use from GRU. The entire system is running very well. My only issue is that the installation took much longer (3-4 months) than expected. Solar Impact does great work but it requires patience from the customer.

Solar Impact has been great throughout the entire process. We researched several companies as well as had multiple quotes from three others and Solar Impact was the most thorough, professional and personable of the lot! They actually make you feel like part of the family and that your solar project is the most important one they have.
There were some hiccups along the way, a couple of them their fault and a couple the fault of our ever helpful and customer-friendly power company (please note, sarcasm!), but Solar Impact owned their issues and made them ALL OK (including those caused by GRU). The

Solar Impact is the best out there. Period.
Everyone I have encountered has been professional, intelligent, and kind. They were very easy to work with. Hats off to Bryan, Richie, and Brian. They installed my 10-kw system on time and with in budget. Very straight forward. You can tell that they like what they do for a living.
I had several companies come out to my home to bid on my solar project. Solar Impact was the only one that got on my roof. They got the drone out too. They took the time to analyze and customize to my specific solar needs. I did not feel like a number and was never pushed

I bought a solar system from Solar Impact (Barry and Elaine Jacobson) back in 2007. We have had only one problem with our system during this 11-year period and Barry got the cause identified quickly and the situation resolved promptly. I have recommended Solar Impact several times over the years and will continue to do so at every opportunity I have. Barry and Elaine are so easy to work with and you can be confident that the system they design for you will be the best for your individual situation. I would recommend Solar Impact without reservation!

Solar Impact's service is excellent. They went above and beyond normal customer care before, during, and after our installation. Before we started with the project they explained both the technical and financial aspects very well which helped us make good and informed decisions. Installation was done quickly and with attention to detail. After the system was online they helped us in the application process for rebates and grants. They continue to monitor the output and alert us about any problems. After our first year of operation we can testify that Solar Impact's prediction of annual yield was
