Empower Solar was excellent from start to finish: sales, permits, project management, installation. Super professional all around (and clean). They use panels from SunPower which are some of the best in the business (efficiency and warranty). We had them upgrade our electric panel, and install solar panels with a Powerwall backup battery system.

EmPower by SunPower highly recommended, I did a lot of research before decided to go with EmPower by SunPower, their proposal was not the cheaper but I would say they are the best. Great communication, an assigned project manager handling your project from start to finished and let you know every step of the way in progress. The crews that installing the system did an excellent jobs, good workmanship and they not using cheap material. My system commissioned couple days ago, I have sixteen X22 360 watt panel, it produced average 27 kWh/day even its not 100% sunny day, it cover all my daily electric usage with spare to sent back to the grid. Still waiting for final inspection to close out the building Dept permit, according to my project manager it takes approximately a month, will update that when certificate of completion received. It’s too early to say 100% satisfy will update from time to time for a long terms review for the progress of the system reliability and stability of power production.

I was very happy with the service I received from initial sign up to now a year after installation. I would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking to install solar panels on their home. No aggressive sales people and very good customer support. System was installed May 2017 and I am still receiving support/reminders from them.

Empower installed our solar panels 9 years ago. They did a wonderful job at the time and we couldn't be happier with this company, the people we dealt with, and the work they did. We have a large house and have not paid an electric bill in 9 years. Any small repairs that were required over the years were taken care of very quickly. Anyone they sent was great.

Empower Solar installed our system in December 2009. They did a wonderful job then, and continue to be wonderful to deal with. We have not paid an electric bill since it was installed. Any service we needed since then was taken care of immediately. Every single person we dealt with in the organization was great. We couldn't recommend them any more highly.

It went perfect. The company is extremely professional and supportive. They spent the time inspecting our roof and studying what has to be done. They processed the loan. They processed the building permit. I did nothing but sign the papers and now am enjoying the free electricity. In the summer I am making 265% of the electricity I am using. TOO COOL. My electric bills have been $11. 54 each month. YEA!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SUNPOWER BY EMPOWER.

"After almost 2 years of research and multiple solar power companies interviews, none of them compared to SunPower. Matt the sales rep were very professional and thorough and I didn''t feel pressured anytime during the process. The fact that they have the highest panels on the market (360w) with built in inverters along with a 25Year Warranty made my decision even easier. The installation went flawless even though some uneventful weather delayed it. Thank You SunPower for making me a very happy customer!"

I had been looking in to solar for a long time, and I finally decided to do it over last summer. I searched reviews of different companies and finally found Empower Solar on Angie's List. Their review was great, but I was still nervous (as I always am). Now that the process is fully done, I couldn't be any happier. The people at Empower from Mat who got our estimate, to Alexandra who helped coordinate and get permits, etc, and Dave & team who got the panels up on the roof were all phenomenal!! I really can't say enough!! I would recommend them to anyone, anywhere!! They were always on time. There was no mess in the house. They were on budget and so far their estimates of energy production have been great. They did not over sell me either, and there were no pressure tactics in their sales pitch. I really felt comfortable the whole way. As for the system, it's been up for a week, and I've already made more Electricity than I've used. Pretty much, I'm not expecting my electric meter to budge much from when the system was installed. I think that is just so cool!! Empower Solar all the way!!

Everything went very well. They were very careful about doing the work, they were on time, they explained what they were going to be doing, they completed the job on time.

Look no further, They know what they are doing and finished the job on time and quality work, I am very picky when it comes to the curb appeal of my house and they installed all the equiplent on the side of my house and it does not look like some one just throw bunch of equipment on the wall, they spend time and it looks neat, They monitor performance of the panels so if anything goes wrong they reach out to me before I reach out to them, They are reliable and I even recommend them to my brother and he has solar pannels installed at his house as well an he loves it. Savings are termendous and my electric bill is $150 cheaper vs what I was paying before.

It went absolutely fantastic. This is actually my second home outfitted with solar panels installed by EmPower. The first system went in without an issue and I enjoyed $12 a month electric bills. My family and I then moved and I went back to $160 a month electric bills on my new home. I had enough of that. In April of this year I had the guys from EmPower install another system and now enjoying $12 a month bills once again. I have a 5 bedroom home with an in ground pool and central A/C. I couldn't be happier. Look no further than this great company.

Fantastic service. EmPower did a great job from start to finish. They handled all the details, from permitting and design through installation and commissioning. Everyone was great to work with, from the sales staff to the project manager to the installation crew. They sell a high quality solar panel, with a great app for tracking energy production and savings. I highly recommend EmPower to anyone looking to go solar.

I cannot say enough how absolutely satisfied that I am that I went SOLAR - but even happier that I went with SunPower by Empower! This was by far the best home improvement project I have ever undertaken - no regrets, no guessing, complete confidence and satisfaction.

I had gone to a local home improvement show and was bombarded by numerous solar companies and completely confused, disenfranchised and gave up on proceeding with a system. Until I heard about EmPower.

From the day COREY ROBERTS contacted me and worked to assess my situation, to sitting down and thoroughly explaining ever aspect of this proposal and signing the paperwork to proceed, he was absolutely no pressure and professional!

Next steps by DYLAN ROLLERI to get my project going were completely seamless. He knew I was intent on making this a speedy process and I am glad I was able to assist with getting my permits approved. Dylan maintained constant contact and I knew at any moment exactly where we were in the process. Dylan was very accommodating in setting up delivery and installation, working around my crazy schedule.

Onsite installation by DAVID MECKES was lightning fast! His entire team was so friendly, efficient and professional. They banged out my project quicker than I could have imagined. David's follow up visit to complete the work and commission wrapped everything up in a nice package!

So far my system has met all of my expectations! So easy to monitor and the panels look great!

I will be happy to mention my chance run in with SAM at the beach a few days ago; as one of my installer he had such kind words and his comments were sincere and appreciated!

Once again, THANK YOU.
I look forward to many years with the best Solar Panel System product and team around!

everyone in the company was very helpful. The sales person was very thorough in his presentation and answered all questions from the start of the program, through all the loans, to the product delivery to installation. The installers put the system together in on day, we have over 20 panels, so that was impressive. Workers were polite and let the place completely cleaned when they were done. I don't know of anything they could have done to make this a better experience.

I found Empower on my own, they did not have a deal with Angie's List at that time.  I looked at a handful of companies and explored the benefits of both buying and leasing.  Everyone is different, but I found buying to be the best option for me.  I ultimately decided on Empower as the right company for me based on their presentation.  I found their representative, Steve Skira, was very knowledgeable and professional.  He was prepared for the meeting and explained the whole process in a manner I could understand.


Once I agreed to the process, I did hit a snag.  The original design did not pass Empower's safety inspection.  Not that they designed an unsafe project.  Instead we met a degree of uncertainty.  My design was utilizing the roof of an extension of the home.  Since I am the new homeowner, I did not have the blueprints showing us the beams.  Here is where I feel Empower really was the right choice.  They took their time, sent numerous engineers to check the roof to make sure that my roof could withstand the weight of the panels, as well as whatever mother nature has in store (i.e. snow, rain, and ice).  Ultimately the engineers determined that the extension did meet their safety measures and the project proceeded.  I feel that other companies would not have been as cautious.  It was never a question to them if the roof could hold the weight of the solar panels.  The question was could it also hold mounds of snow and ice along with it?  They were extremely cautious, but when you are dealing with safety, that is something you want.


It took them two days to install the solar panels, and their crew was extremely polite and respectful of my home.  They cleaned up after themselves, there was no mess anywhere.  With the exception of the panels on the roof, there was no evidence that I even had a crew working on my home.


I would definitely recommend Empower.  The people who work there are professionals and are extremely respectful.  Finally, the tax benefits are very enticing.   The representative explained how the government tax credits work.  Many people challenged this when I told them how it was explained to me.  People thought it was a sales tactic where they overpromise.  That is certainly not the case.  I just spoke with my CPA and the tax credits I had anticipated was dead on.
