Winston Salem Solar Installers

We are happy and will refer our family and friends. They did a great job on the install. Thank you, William.

William was amazing! Addresses every concern and I will definitely refer him to friends and family! Thank you William!

Had been looking in to solar power options for awhile and I’m glad we finally pulled the trigger. Customer service was spot on, informative as we had quite a few questions being new users, and install was quick and professional. Would highly recommend as we have been very happy with our decision. A+!

Work has been scheduled for early in 2019, but they could not have been more helpful and professional in explaining our options, how our home would get the most out of the panels, and how much we are likely to save. They were explicit about costs and available rebates. We were instructed to apply for a rebate from our local energy supplier and they literally walked us through the time specific rebate procedure. We made some minor changes to their standard contract and they accepted those changes without question. I can only assume their work will be up to these standards when we do the actual installation.

Excellent experience. They were punctual, professional excellent workmanship and quickly responded to any questions or issues regarding the installation. Would use them again without hesitation. Highly recommend this company.

From the estimate to the installation Honey Solar could not have been better. I would highly recommend this company for anyone needing solar heating or electric. True professionals.

Very professional, awesome job. Some other folks were a bit cheaper but no other company was anywhere near as knowledgeable or professional. Prompt and courteous. No problem from the array nearly 3 years later.

It's too bad the rating scale does not go to A+. My first contact with Joe Sheffield and his business was about 5 years ago. I had a solar electric and solar hot water system installed by a different company and the entire system failed (the install was so poor it actually caught fire, but thats another story). Joe came out and repaired all the flaws and expanded the system for me. He also took detailed photos of the entire process to record all the defects for me to help recover my money from the original contractor. Pricewise he was very reasonable, showing me options throughout the process to make it economical. He did all the paper work involved, not just the permits and construction, but all the dealing with utility company. Quality of work was outstanding, never cut corners. Always made certain to show me details of install as it progressed. Even hidden work, like pulled cable he always went a step over to make it neat and efficient. Communication was thorough an ongoing through the whole process, I always knew what was going on and what was coming next. But beyond the quality of work and reasonable cost is the customer service. Any time I called Joe, he always made time to discuss my questions and help solve any issues. My most recent contact with him was just last week. My solar hot water system tripped the ground fault and was not running. Even though all my equipment is well past warranty he went through possible causes, told me a couple things to try and told me if that did not work to call him back and he would come check it out. (BTW, hot water is up and running again,thanks) I recommend Joe and his company highly. Not just because his prices are reasonable and the work quality is outstanding, but because of the customer service after the job that he provides. It truly provides peace of mind on a project like this to know that he will still have my back for any issues.

Tony Havemann advertises himself as owner, general manager, veteran, or sales rep, depending upon what fits his target. He posts ads which fraudulently claim substantial solar panel installation rebate programs from the states of NC, or SC; from Duke (or other) Energy companies, and from solar panel manufacturers (in my case Panasonic). He claims some of the rebates have deadlines which are designed to entice the mark to fork over several thousands of dollars as a deposit (in my case $2250). It's all a scam. The rebates are used to solicit a down payment, and/or substantial loans which an unsuspecting customer will encumber to pay for the solar panels. Check out the business rating on BBB. Havemann has also operated in the past in NC and SC as Solar Tek Energy with an accomplice, Aron Muckenfuss. The web site for Jarhead Solar claims locations across NC (Fayetteville, Raleigh, Asheville, Greensboro, & Charlotte) but does not list any addresses other than a PO box at a UPS store in Asheville, NC as of this writing. Havemann also claims to be a master certified roofer, and to offer Heating & Air Condition services and insulating services.

I am not sure how relevant this review now is, since he is no longer doing these installations. However, he remains in the solar business and so I have chosen to provide this review. He was professional and personable in his work with us, but... 1. He insisted that locating the panels at a low spot on our roof was sufficient. After inadequate hot water for some time, especially in winters, we paid another excellent company - DG Solar - to move the panels to a high location, with fine results. This failure of Honey Solar to locate the panels properly at the outset cost us an additional $900. 2. In the process of relocation, we discovered a deteriorating place in one of the panels. Honey Electric first said and quot;we will make this right,and quot; and now has declined to be engaged in warranty initiatives, even though the panels are still under warranty.
