I did a lot of research before I finally made my solar purchase, and I am glad I did. Justin from Emerald Energy when out of his way to make sure all my questions were answered. See I was about an hour and forty-five minutes away from them, and he still came to see me. I knew what I wanted just needed someone to design and make recommendations. See I pay very close attention to detail, and I wanted to make sure my solar system was going to grow with my electrical needs. I received a top notch install, and very excited to promote Emerald Energy any way I can. Justin’s technical expertise and customer

Emerald Energy was very easy to work with; Justin and John were both knowledgeable and cooperative. The project changed from a single Sol-Ark 12K to a pair of them. This with 28 REC Alpha panels and 4 Fortress e-Flex 5.4kWh batteries was the final project. John worked through supply chain problems to procure all needed parts, even scouring just about all sources to obtain battery lugs.
Brandon and Dave wired the system with attention to detail. I am very pleased with how the project turned out.

Thomas and John did a fantastic job over the course of several months of listening to what we wanted, made suggestions, and helped get us set up with a new metal roof, solar panels, as well as putting in two 50 amp outlets for EV charging in the garage. Their pricing was very competitive on every level.
The panels and roof look great together and I'm looking forward to the lack of a monthly electric bill. I highly recommend this company.

My residence is 2 plus hours from their office. The entire process was excellent with them from sales all the way through installation. Courteous, professional, knowledgeable, clean, timely, and communicative. We had to change plans a number of times through the process and they were always happy to help. Additionally we have had our system installed for 6 months now and had to file a warranty claim 1 time. They were quick to fix the issue and no issues at all. Would recommend to anyone.

I’ve got nothing but good things to say about Emerald Energy. John was easy to get in touch with, fast to respond and kept me in the loop about a replacement part on order. While some companies need to be called multiple times to follow up on an order or job, Emerald Energy was proactive and handled the job quickly. They were courteous, professional, happy to answer my questions, and provided information in an easy-to-understand way.

We did our research before installing our rooftop solar system this spring. We met with and obtained quotes from 4 different companies who had done installations in our neighborhood in the past 2 years. We choose Emerald Energy based on the combination of service, word of mouth, design to our needs, and of course price. We were not disappointed as John Leonard and Emerald were really terrific at every step of the process. He was flexible and willing to adjust the design as we went through the process. For example we wanted to incorporate an EV charger into our install and John was able to change
