We interviewed 5 companies and chose NC Solar Now! They did not try to oversell the size of the system or make us get more than we needed. Their customer service has blown us away. They were efficient with installation and have kept us in the loop throughout the process. We also got a Tesla Powerwall, and are very glad we did! It allows us to use more solar energy overall and has already come in handy during a power outage. Plus the whole system is helping our kids be more energy conscious, which we love! Thank you, NC Solar Now! We are very satisfied customers!

NC Solar Now did a beautiful job doing a solar panel installation (33 panels) on our garage roof. The process went extremely smoothly. All their personnel and crew were professional. They kept the schedule they gave to me and stayed in regular touch throughout the process. I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

The Representative that came to our house was very honest with us. He checked out our needs and informed us that we would have to do other stuff to the house to save. He also told us that our payment would be about $20.00 more than we would save. Very honest man. Thank you for the honesty.

Went well overall. They were a bit behind schedule and the price is high, but solar is just not that competitive price wise at this point in time. The job was first rate and the people were professional, friendly and just great.

good response from supervisors, one panel mounted to close to valley on roof forcing panel into shingles ;
team returned to relocate panels to avoid roofing and panel overheating problem.
workers in and out of bathroom in morning - must have each had a pot of coffee before leaving home.
we were not happy with location of electric cable across attic access door, again management responded and secured
cable out of way.
Overall were pleased with company.
We a little disappointed that power generation not as much as sold by initial salesman, should break even over 20 years
which was stated as life of panels. Like the idea that we are using green energy, but will not see a substancial saving in energy cost.

We did not use what they were offering. We felt we could not afford to install solar at the point but we need to have a heating system so we chose the conventional system in the end. We looked at that but we would probably be selling the house in a couple of years so thought we would not go in for it since we would not get much from it ourselves. They were going to do possibly 2 things and one of it was electrical solar panels generating electricity and the other was one for heating hot water which would also be mounded on the roof. We looked at 8 different people and I thought that they did well in terms of quality that they offered and the estimate that they were offering but it was just that it did not fit with our budget at that time. I think that it was something around $12000 and that would be on top of what we would be paying for the HVAC. We have the whole heating and cooling system but it is about 20 years old and we would have to replace that and we could not put this on top.

I would not do business with them under any circumstance. Outside of having the worst quote I've ever seen for that kind of money, I can't say much about their finished product. I have no reason to.

Their installer Reggie showed up on time as scheduled a couple days later. He did an awesome job, great attention to detail, very professional install. The owner Steve Nicolas personally came out twice during the install, and suggested the solar fan be installed as the attic fan for max benefit and determined with a remote bracket solar was possible on the rear roof top side of our home, which made a lot of sense. I feel the owner and people really care about the green aspect of their products, and say welcome to the Family, which is very nice. They seem really interested in their customers saving energy and long term relationship, not just a quick sale. It took a total of 3.5 days, as they did very high quality work as well as quality of the solar fan (lifetime warranty), thermoshield appears to be of excellent quality as well in my opinion. Everyone was pleasant to work with. Thanks again.
