"We are so happy to hear that you are satisfied with your solar install experience and that you are enjoying your new system. We wish you a great year of solar savings, and we will always be available if you have any questions or concerns in the future."
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.
