After contacting nearly a dozen installers, it became pretty obvious that TerraSol was the right company for the job. Rob and Rasha answered all of my questions and concerns throughout the entire process, which couldn't have gone any smoother. I really didn't have to do much of anything, with TerraSol handling everything from their end. From contract signing to PTO, it took under two and a half months to complete. To top it off, they had incredibly competitive pricing on REC Alpha Pure panels, which is what I wanted. The crew that installed the panels was terrific, as well. All of their work looks incredibly clean, which I very much appreciate. I would absolutely recommend TerraSol to anyone looking to go solar.

I got my solar panels installed through TerraSol in 2017. My whole experience has been great and they did a fantastic job. All employees of Terrasol are great and very professional. They are prompt, well-planned and always responded to my questions quickly. I would highly recommend Terrasol.

The project went great! From start to finish, TerraSol was professional and knowledgeable. The project schedule was pretty much what they said it would be. The work they did was up to my very high standards. I couldn't be happier with my new system! It's great watching the meter "spin" backwards!
Description of Work: TerraSol installed Sunpower panels on my roof, made all the electrical connections, and dealt with all the permits and applications.

These contractors are as good as it gets. They handled every aspect of the project, from permits and approvals to rebate and grant paperwork. Their customer service and professionalism is the best I've ever dealt with. It was an absolute pleasure working with this family owned and operated business. If you are looking to go solar I highly recommend this company. Not only do they believe in their products (all made in the USA by the way), but they are completely honest and are always sure to check in on their customers to make sure everything is as expected and the customer is completely satisfied.

The whole experience was first-rate. From the initial contact and presentation of materials and the warranty, TerraSol answered all of our questions and adapted to our needs. We wanted a top quality product and Rob and his team provided options and a good price. There was a pretty onerous community and township process for us to go through and Rob came to make the township presentation - the council said they had never seen such a professional and complete presentation. There were almost no solar installations in our township and they were not very open, but the materials and the quality of the discussion won the day! We had decided to purchase versus lease, and are very happy with that decision. Our system should pay us back in 7-8 years, once the rebate is included. The team at the house was polite, tidy and punctual. In spite of some bad weather weeks we had the system up and going in time for the summer season. There were a small number of start-up glitches from the system provider but these were all handled quickly and our power generation was not compromised. Totally satisfied and happy to be powering our home and car on photons!
Description of Work: We had a solar installation on the southeast portion of our roof, sized to cover our annual electrical use including a heated bathroom floor and an fully-electric vehicle.

Great installation. There was a problem with one of the panels and it was replaced quickly. After the tax credits, state grant and srec payments we expect the system to pay for itself in 4 years. Our house is now on the market and this has generated a lot of interest in the property. Our PECO bill is $0.00 in the summer months and we have a plugin hybrid car so we buy only about 10 gallons of gasoline a month. Every south facing roof in this country should have this installed.

It went well. The appropriate persons were used to meet the electrical, propane specifications and the drywall repairs. Timely appointments were made and honored. Procedures were explained in lay person's terminology in a respectful manner. At the conclusion of the project staff met with us to share what we could expect, answer any questions, provide pertinent paperwork and literature and to bring closure to the project. It was a professional experience and we are very satisfied with our investment.
Description of Work: They installed a generator for the whole house to supply emergency power during power outages and took care of the drywall, the building permit and paperwork.

Could not be better. Tony knows what he is doing and is prompt and meticulous. He answers email and phone calls quickly. We love getting our peco bill now. This is a good investment. I do not know why more people aren't doing this.

We decided to install a solar system on our home to reduce the ever rising electric bills. Terrasol Energies was the most professional company we found in the area. They stared with a survey to see if we had adequate sun hitting our roof and providing a detailed project design and payback analysis. We were worried about a few trees, but it turned out we were far enough away that shade did not hit the roof most of the year. The project manager, Tony Taglione did a great job throughout the entire process. Obtaining all the permits, interconnection agreement with PECO, installing all the panels on our roof and getting the final inspections completed. The installation team was professional and fast. It only took three days to do all the work on the roof and the wiring in the house. We selected to go with micro-inverters due to some potential shading in the early morning. The monitoring system is really neat. It allows us to see power production by individual module and it sends alerts if there are any irregularities. Tony also helped us with the paperwork needed to get our Federal Tax credit and sell our SRECs (Solar Renewable Energy Credits). I report production periodically and SREC sends us a check!. We would highly recommend Tony Taglione and TerraSol Energies to our family and friends.
Description of Work: Installed a solar panel system on my house. The system offsets 50% of my electric needs and has been working great. Terrasol did a fantastic job with the project and they provide great follow up to make sure the system is performing as predicted.

The service was very professional, and the agent was extremely knowledgeable. I was impressed by the overall process and timing of the company. In the end we decided to go with a different vendor, mainly because of cost.

Tony was involved from the beginning to the end of the installation. He was patient and very responsive to all questions and concerns. The owner Dave also came out as part of the initial meeting and a follow-up measurement when Tony was unavailable. Terrasol was very conservative on the payback period versus other companies that exagerated the inflation cost of electricity and projected costs of the SRECs. The installation was extremely well done. Tony was hands on making sure that everything was done right and very neat. The electrical sub-contractors worked with Tony for an extremely neat electrical install. Tony was extremely responsive and kept things moving as fast as possible (permits, Interconnect agreement, peco hookup). I cannot say enough good things about Terrasol. Excellent experience overall and qualify and professional workmanship.
Description of Work: Installed 42 Sunpower solar panels with 2x7Kw inverters
