RAB CONSTRUCTION CORP

Recently had a solar system installed on my property. Purchased system outright. Had a very difficult experience with company president. President came to my house, and presented to me what Solar system would apply better for my electrical application. As I did substantial amounts of research, I had learned that there are several different wiring configurations, different types of DC to AC inverters different racking mount systems, Etc. As I did more and more research I decided to edit the contract with company, and apply some changes to my install, agreeing to pay any additional cost for anything extra. Had a very difficult time to have changes made by company. Almost forcing me to drop out of the contract, and loosing the money that I already paid into the contract. Also please be aware if anyone is doing a ground mount solar Photovoltaic install, do your research on ground mount systems. I requested a "Single Pole Top Mount ". It looks really good on a residential application; otherwise you will end up with a solar ground mount system looking like spider with six legs on the ground in your yard. The company advertises under services that it uses "in-house master electrician". Well on my install the electrical work was sub-contracted out to a different electrical company, which by the way, the electrical company does their own solar Photovoltaic, and they are Nabcep Certified. Please look them up. site.inoelectricalservic? . I have no complaints as far as the electrical work goes. People please be aware that a solar Photovoltaic system installs on the roof is less complex and much more straight forward then a ground-mount systems. If you are doing a ground mount, there are asterisks to worry about and much more cleanup work to do in the end during cleanup process. On a contract you need to add everything you would like done. Otherwise you could end up like me, spreading yards and yards of loom to re-level out your property from being disturbed by heavy equipment. During contract writing process, pay attention to warranty on system. Make sure you apply on the warranty that if a part fails, that the warranty failed part should be replace within a reasonable amount of time ( example 7 working days is a fair amount to ask for). I would say 3 and 1/2 months to have a warranty part replaced is a little extreme. Lastly as a home owner make sure that if any company is using your home project for advertisement or newspaper interviews, make sure that it is written on the contract what the company can say about your project, and what they can advertise. After all the company just wants to benefit from their lucrative earnings, and believe me, the company just might say what they want to say, ever if it is not true at all. I wish i could leave not stars at all, but i have to leave at least one.
