Rated 1 out of 5 stars

We had our system installed in November 2017 and the system has been down nearly the entire time. We have produced power only 17 days since install...an astounding 95% failure rate. The installers... See more

System was installed in December 2019, about 3 months after it was supposed to be installed. After that the headaches just got worse. Install failed inspection, needed to have additional work done.... See more

Encor Solar had a great package deal…

Encor Solar had a great package deal that I was sold on. Everything was explained very well. Things moved fairly smooth, it does take a while for everything to be put on from the new meter to the panels and power being run, but that's to be expected. I believe that Encor actually under sold how many panels I needed so after the initial panels were placed up I decided I needed 4 more to be on the safe side. That's when my issue started. It was like pulling teeth to get them to come back out and place 4 more panels. Week after week I would call and be told they would be coming out soon and then I would hear nothing so I would call again and again and again. I finally got in touch with someone up high in the ranks and still took another week to get some answers. To me it seems once I bought the original panels I was hooked and then after it didn't seem like they cared. So for all the initial stuff I give 4 stars, but after I would only give 2 stars

$2500 Cancellation Fee

When I decided to cancel, I was told I had to pay a $2500 cancellation fee. This was Not discussed at the time of signing up so I was blindsided by this. I am going to file a formal complaint with the BBB and the Attorney General. Debt collectors are calling my house constantly.
I DO NOT recommend doing business with them and their contractors /vendors.

Who the heck is Encor Solar and why am I being asked to rate them? I have no idea how good or bad they are. For asking me for their recommendation, the best i can give them is one star.

Had to fight to get what was promised…

Had to fight to get what was promised in the sign up process. Had to to stay on everyone to keep job on track. Was supposed to take 60 days. Took over 120 days to complete. Took a week to get all panels talking to each other. System not producing 85% output as promised. Contacted company and I was informed with reports it was working as it should but, still not a stated in selling process. I will not recommend encor in the future and would suggest another company if you still want solar.

Contractor was a no show to both inspections (failed the first one because of it as inspector was upset no one was there). Communication was abysmal and pricing was at the extreme top end compared to others. I would never ever recommend or work with this company again

The time that has been taken to…

The time that has been taken to complete the job. Once the workers showed up to the house for an inspection without sending a message they were coming. That’s was fine after the dogs stopped barking being we just got off work at 3 AM and them showing up at 8 AM. Overall the pace of the job for the workers has been great just a better communication for being flexible on schedule basis. August 3 was the sign date for the whole project to begin I was told a good 45 days later the system would be complete. With the installation taking this long the first solar system payment and a 100% power company will be due .... every day the system is not up and running, it is costing my household money. Please hurry up and complete the installation.

So far so good! Solar panel installation date is set in just over a week so we’ll see how everything goes from there!

Encor Solar has been very helpful throughout the process. Dave has been available to answer questions I’ve had and explained step by step what was happening. Although the process has taken longer than expected, we are extremely happy with our decision to go with Encor Solar

Sales was smooth implementation was terrible.

Sales Rep was great and clear but the implementation crew was terrible.

First day they were supposed to be there was a no call no show. Had to call to finally get someone out there and then they still did not show when they said they would. Day 2 they finally came out and no communication, just started drilling on the house. No introduction, no updates throughout the day, nothing. They then left the job unfinished with no updates once again.

We then received a message saying that the job was complete when there were obvious signs that the job was not complete. they had not even wired up the system yet and conduit was just left laying on the roof unsecured to anything.

A WEEK later someone finally came back to finish the job and still did not complete it. Said they would be back the next day and again no call no show. Had to call again to get him out there. Finally said he would be there the next day at 9. Again.... no call no show. He finally arrived around 2 with no update as to why they were late and the job was finally finished.

What we were told would be a 1-2 day installation took 2 weeks.

I am new to solar power

I am new to solar power, but so far this experience has been effortless on my part and has saved energy over the past few months. My house is always in the top ten in the neighborhood when the electric company runs their energy efficient homes ratings. So far I am very pleased with solar power.
