Abundant Solar LLC

It would be very difficult to explain all of our complaints with such a small character limit, so I will sum it by saying that in the over 70 years I have been on this earth, I can’t readily recall a worse home improvement experience than what I had with Abundant Solar and Fred Brimhall. Installation was 3 months beyond the initial scheduled date. He requested money before the conditions that were spelled out in the contract were satisfied, and we didn’t know until weeks later. The main installation (Not including the array and panels that were installed weeks prior) was 3 weeks of hearing “any problem you have with the system is your fault or the fault of your existing equipment, pay me my money.” They had to come back to the house 3 different times to fix mistakes that their installers made, all while claiming that the system was installed properly, with only calls to Generac corporate prompting them to come back and fix it. Even with all the history of problems and multiple trips, his installers refused to do a backup power test before leaving the final time, and with some support from Generac our self-test failed with only ⅓ of the house responding and none of the 220 circuits like the A/C and Oven. Rather than an apologetic response, it was of course not his fault, the system is running fine, and you need to pay me or I am going to take legal action. In addition, he would be willing to fix whatever the problem was if we paid him fully for the install, and an additional travel charge. Luckily, we were able to work with Generac remotely, and after some conversation, they were able to isolate the problem which was the system not being fully activated by the installer. If you ever work with this man, you need to have someone who understands solar right beside you to make sure he does his job right, and as many other people have mentioned in other reviews, you need to make sure to hold back the final payment until after everything is inspected, approved, and tested

I enjoyed a great experience with Abundant Solar from start to finish. Dave, the sales consultant, was very informative, and could answer or verify any question that I asked him during the entire process. Trisha is customer-friendly, and treats each client like a friend. She stayed on top of things throughout the process. The two young men who installed the wiring were very patient and friendly. They were also able to give precise descriptions of each step of their part of the process. The CPS Inspectors and Installers were also great. The CPS Installer, who also uses a solar system at his house, was able to tell me of some of the advantages that he had experienced. This left me feeling confident about the entire process. I am very happy that I have switched. Today I read the CPS Billing Monitor and it read "29" , the solor monitor next to it read "48". I was thrilled to see the difference that solar power is already making to my life. I would encourage you to join me in keeping our planet cleaner.

thank you to ms. Trachta for the guidance and conversation with regards to my solar panel system. The questions I had were answered and I am not better equipped to monitor my system. I appreciated the patience and willingness to walk me through the online monitoring system. Glad to know our panels are working optimally. I will also be continuing my discussion to better utilize solar. I know more now than I did this morning. Ms. Trachta and Mr. Brimhall... thank you.

Great! This is a good company. They do what they say.

Confusing and follow up is not the best. Salesmen was great. Product seem great. But don't know how the bill should look like. What the difference in the pricing.They did not explain how it work. The terms on the contract was different from what we talk about. They were more concern about the rebate then helping. Salesman was great. They did apologizes but at the same time the follow through was not good. There's room for improvement on explaining from a customer expectation. "My point of my feedback not poke in the chest but to help improve your process from start to finish"

The job went really. They were very nice and responsive

The project went relatively smoothly. There was a few delays here and there but they eventually got the project done and they also gave me some warranties.

I'm really pleased with the result. It saved me a lot of money

The entire installation process went really well. Mister Fred Brimhall is a very respectable gentleman, knowledgeable, professional. That alone give you confidence because you know you are in good hands.

Job is done Fred was there for quality Assurance. Also, Fred follows up with us to insure system is working fine.

All went according to plan, work was quick and professional

They did everything like they said and when they scheduled it.

We love, love, love our solar panels! Abundant solar is owned by Fred Brimhall, he is very professional and he did all the permits, did all the paperwork required for our rebate from the city of Austin, lined up all the inspections, installation, was here when supposed to be, made sure everything was done correctly and in a timely manner! Fred is a great guy and always, always responded to any issue with a quick response.  We also purchased the app and equipment necessary to see that our system was and is operating as it should be.  The solar panels we selected are American made and the best micro inverters available. They are all guaranteed for 25 years. Even though it initially cost us $51k p...after the rebate from the city, plus our 30% reduction on our federal taxes, in the end it only cost $23k!  Since having the solar installed our highest electric bill has been $103 and our lowest has been -$44. We have a total of 52 panels and did I mention that we love, love, love our solar system?
