After ordering online I received a follow-up call to help me complete my order. So friendly and upbeat. Answered all questions and made sure I was aware of how things would ship out to us. Many thanks you guys are great!
The staff at shop solar put a system together for my needs. They were very helpful through the entire process from start to finish. My package is 1/3 of the price compared to other solar companies. Overall I am very satisfied. I will definitely recommend them.
These are good people who truly care about their customers and if you are patient, they always help in any/ every situation. Just the amount of back and forth I did getting to understand what to buy and how to use it, I can't imagine getting from anyone else.
The person I worked with had unlimited patience with all of my questions, and explained in more depth if I still didn't get the concept. Very knowledgeable
Very fair pricing, quick and thorough communication, fast shipping, great components. Will recommend thanks again
The kits sold make it super easy to get up and running. Also I chose to have my off grid system inspected, so it was easy to pass final. I'm getting more satisfaction out of being self self-sufficient than I thought.
The solar industry has a dirty secret: you're often paying for bloated overhead — fancy offices, huge sales commissions, vehicle fleets, and markups.
Alex and Max launched ShopSolar to fix an industry stuck in the 90s. What began as a small side project quickly grew into a national leader in DIY solar, delivering thousands of complete systems across the U.S.
