Lighthouse Solar

Installation went well, several years ago now. No problems with system for several years, produced expected power. Inverter went out, called them and they replaced it under warranty, no cost to me. System has been working well, producing expected power since then.

I hired Lighthouse to give a bid on a solar system which they quickly completed. However after they gave the bid and I wanted to hire them, no one ever returned my messages.

The solar PV array produces 50% of the rated power (i.e., 1000 watts) because Lighthouse Solar installed it in shade, at a 135-degree azimuth (pointing south-east instead of south), and with the angle too high. This was after a verbal agreement to site the panels in a different, sunny area of the roof. Lighthouse Solar installed the inverter outside my bedroom wall so that my bed receives dangerous levels of electromagnetic radiation. Lighthouse Solar also gave me a $4000 invoice for a roof reinforcement that they'd said they wouldn't charge for (that agreement was in writing, in advance). When I asked Lighthouse Solar to correct these mistakes they refused to do anything. I got the impression that they'd never checked with any customers to see if their installations were performing properly, and they found it strange that I expected my solar PV array to produce its rated power.

WE AREN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE THEM, THOUGH WE WERE VERY INTERESTED IN HAVING A SOLAR AWNING AND DON'T KNOW OF ANOTHER COMPANY THAT DOES WHAT THEY DO. THEY JUST WERE HIGHLY UNRELIABLE.
