I have made inquire about solar panel installation.
Unfortunately I had to speak to Jennifer Florentino. She seemed very incompetent. Asking a lot of questions without providing any information. Being not helpful at all.
If business has such incompetent person on front end, I would be very concern about rest of operation.
Use them on your own risk.

My panels just went live last month. Production so far is right on track with their estimates. During the first phase of the process they were super attentive and gave me lots of good info. Somewhere in the middle of the process communication was lagging and I had to push a little, but in the end it was completed 2 weeks past their initial estimate. Not too bad. Overall I'd recommend them. The panels look great.

I was considering a few different companies and purchase options when a neighbor recommended Sun Badger. I spoke with Ann several times and she was very responsive and patiently answered all my questions. Once I made the decision to move ahead, everything progressed smoothly and the install was completed on time. The field techs made a last minute adjustment on panel configuration because they thought it would look better on my roof and I am glad they did. System is up and working fine, and I’ve produced a lot more energy than I’ve used so far! I am recommending them to friends.

We were very pleased with our solar experience with Sun Badger Solar company. After researching for two months, we decided to go with a company that is locally operated. Sun Badger solar services 4 states and has great customer service in all of them, unlike some other nationally operated companies whose customer service is only good in certain states. From our first call with Marina to our last call with Audrey after project installation, the running of the entire project was very efficiently handled. They explained solar energy, the savings, benefits, and answered all our questions thoroughly

This is a great sales and marketing company. They however do not install solar panels or solar equipment. You'll be working with a subcontractor and unfortunately per my experience, you'll be general contracting the installation as the "basecamp" project management software isn't used by the sub contractor. Go figure? I've had so, so many horrible experiences with this company I can't even really begin to write them all down. I'll just mention one, dramatically awful episode that included a lien on my property by a sun badger vendor for a payment dispute

Pros:
I like the products they sell. Enphase microinverters are great. The trina panels are a good value. The sales staff is a good sales staff. The prices are reasonable. The permit plans are thorough for record.
Install went ok. It looks good.
Cons:
The communication within this company and to me was absolutely sad. Lack of communication, miscommunication, NO communication. Once they sign you up and get your down payment, the communication slows.
I had high hopes. They let me down and now I can't recommend them.

Install of solar went fine. Everything else including post install support was horrible. There was constant lack of communication within the company. I wanted to go local and help locally, but they have a few bad apples which killed their service. To make matters worse, I felt I was lied to by the manager, who constantly didnt file for permits, communicate what was to be done, and did not timely submit my rebate for SRECS. It was not till I followed up a month later that she stated she still had not submitted it. It happened on more than one occasion. Just constant lack of communication

My installation went much more quickly than they told me it would but we ran into a problem going live because my meter needed to be repaired. When it is was not repaired correctly the first time, Trevor took immediate action to take care of the problem and make up for the time the system was not producing. It was a pleasure working with them.

They were easy to work with, quick to respond to any questions or concerns, and kept us in the loop through each step. I was a bit hesitant to go with solar in the Chicago area, especially right before winter, but our system is performing well and we're already saving money, even in January! We're very happy with our system and would highly recommend Sun Badger.

I requested information and Trevor got back to me within 24hrs. He set up a meeting just a couple days later. The meeting didn't feel like your typical sales call which was amazing. Both my wife and I really appreciated that because we didn't feel pressured. He educated us about solar energy, the products he uses and why he uses them over other products. Trevor didn't have to really sell us anything. His wealth of knowledge and passion for the solar industry was evident which sold itself. He treated us like we were his friends and family. He answered all of our questions to assure
