I am very pleased with my Native solar array. Native was able to answer all questions and concerns regarding the array, the tax rebates and what to expect after installation. The Native crew was supportive thru the entire process. Jay was able to size the array correctly from looking at my electric bills and I now feed the grid with no elect bill. :D Thanks Native! Deb

They installed a system about 3 years ago through the NRG solar lease. There had been some problems also with installation and phone calls did not cut it and unfortunately leaving a bad review on yelp was the only way I could get their attention.
2 years down and the systems output is way down (since February of 2016). I called NRG which has been trying to get in touch with Native. Its either NRG or Native that is not responding (NRG blames Native and now they advised me to directly contact Native). I think NRG is correct since after repeated phone calls and voices mails there is no response

I've had my Solar system a little over 15 months now and I'm completely satisfied. The folks at Native were extremely professional from the moment we started talking to Jay (Sales) to our install team and Stewart (maintenance). Nothing but the highest praise for this team. If your thinking of going solar let Native show you how to fully benefit from various incentives and financing options available. The system they installed is top quality and having the ability to monitor my production is amazing.
On a final note, my power bill was -$3 for July 2015, in Austin and after all the non-power related

I bought solar panels through enPhase and they contracted with Native to install them. The product is fine and the installation went fine, and after the panels were operational for a couple of weeks, they began to function only intermittently. A technician came out in a timely fashion and reinstalled an electrical component that had malfunctioned. So far so good. Service was excellent.
On May 23 when the violent storms came through Austin, a tree came down in my back yard, and took out cable, and electric. After both were restored, my Envoy device ceased to communicate with the enPhase internet

I called several different solar installers here in Austin and after careful time and consideration I decided to go with Native. I have to say that I wasn't disappointed. Native had the best financing, customer service and system selections available. Andy, my sales rep, was professional, reliable and knowledgeable, throughout the entire process. He walked me through everything from start to finish.
We decided to install a 4.5kwh system - which for us will offset 85-90% of our total energy bill. This meant Native installed 18 panels on our roof. The installation was painless and the Native install

I contacted this company both through phone call and their online consultation form. One guy called me back, but he was extremely unprofessional. During our short conversation, he said "big deal" more than 10 times. It was bothersome and I asked him what was the meaning of that. He didn't answer me and continued with his every sentence ending with "big deal". He said he would send me an email with a general cost of the projects, but he never did. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Native did an outstanding job on our solar panel job. The sales cycle included on site reviews, understanding our desired level of power generation and tips in addressing HOA approval. They also connected me right up front with Austin Energy and coordinated an inspection to determine any changes to insulation that might be needed for payment of the energy rebate.

Just completed the expansion of a system Native installed just over one year ago. Native did a great job of making it as easy as possible. They are a solid company and a green builder. I chose Native because I expect them to be around 25 years to support the system's warranty. I highly recommend them to anyone and encourage you to compare. There are other companies and some may be cheaper but do they have the depth of experience of Native as a green builder? Go with the pro!

I was very pleased with their work of installing a modest solar PV system on my roof. Everyone in their organization was very professional. Since I was the first solar PV install in my town, I was especially glad to have Native's expertise as they worked with the City through the permit process and the inspection afterwards. I would definitely recommend them to others. And, I love to see my meter go backwards. And, I actually look forward to receiving my utility bills each month!

I had Native install two separate PV arrays, a 6.2kw ground mounted array in 2012 and 9.2 kw array in 2013. Working with the City of Austin through their PV Solar rebate program can be challenging. The whole team at Native worked diligently to dot all the 'i's and cross all the 't's. Lloyd the owner, Chris Renner the PV supervisor, David Dixon dealing with the city and everyone else involved. Thanks
I am extremely excited that now the total PV we have is 18.4 kw and the home/office is now Net-Zero. I plan on working with them on the future for other clients and replacing
