I have never worked with such a professional crew. They were six panels. They are very amazing, helpful, clean, and non of them even smoked. They were very punctual. It is the best investment I have got.

I haven't got enough kind words to say about this experience.
Description of Work: They developed an excellent a design for a solar configuration for my roof which was designed to harvest the maximum amount of energy. Soon after my acceptance, they installed the 20 solar panels professionally. It only took 2 days. And, when they finished, I noticed the solar meter was going around even though it was 5 PM and very cloudy. I was already making electricity. I am very encouraged and happy with this decision. I don't know how I could have spent this money with any better returns. This cost no more than an inexpensive new car. A professional, communicative crew arrived exactly when they said they would. They were very considerate of my time and needs. Everyone introduced himself. They were a great bunch of fellows. They explained everything thoroughly. And not one cigarette butt was left in the yard (I don't think a single crew member smokes) or any other debris when they left.

From start to finish.... it was a well presented, executed, and "total" service. The system is up and running, the meter has been changed, and all registrations, to include an aggregater, are completed. I've never experiences something so complicated being made so EASY. In addition, the company only uses American made products - I like that. As the price of solar panels decreases, this is a home improvement project for many home owners; and with a company like EiS..... it's a walk in the park. We've done A LOT of home remodeling on this home......... this company is unmatched on nearly every level of comparison. Our only regret is not having the time to submit this review sooner. We give them a HUGE thumbs up!
Description of Work: Installed a 10.08 kWDC grid tied roof mounted Photovoltaic Solar array on our home in Franklin Park. The system consists of: Panels 10.08kW PV Solar System, 42 each SolarWorld SW240 Poly panels Mounting System Unirac Roof Mounting System Inverter (1) SMA SB 8000US The company took care of all the many details: permits, registrations of many kinds, and explained all we needed to know. Their service was COMPLETE, professional and top notch. We even received a bound booklet with pictures of our array, and all user manuals + more.

We contacted EIS to discuss putting solar panels and a battery back-up system into our house. We got a prompt response to our inquiry and were extremely impressed with Joe's knowledge and professionalism. He carefully explained our options and the cost implications of each decision. He proved himself to be creative and very smart about the system that he designed for us. Joe took the time to fully dicuss with us the process, the various system options and even the tax credits and rebates that were available. His workmen were wonderful. The best crew I have ever had at my home. Friendly, hard working, polite, clean, including cleaning up after themselves each day. They arrived on time (early actually) and worked late so that the work got done more quickly than expected. The EIS staff handled all the paperwork, including applying for the state credits. This was one of the easiest projects that I've ever been involved with! The overall communication from everyone at EIS has been truly remarkable. From the beginning to the end, every call, email, or other inquiry has been answered promptly and fully. I would highly recommend EIS for any service!!
Description of Work: Install solar panels on roof and install a battery back up system to allow for solar power to the house in the case of a blackout.

They drilled holes in the ground, poured cement and set up 1 solar panel the first day. The next day, another guy came up and immediately noticed a problem. They took it all down and put it back up to fix the problem. They want to make sure their work is 100% the first time and will take the time to fix any problem that they have made immediately.
Description of Work: They installed a 20 kilowatt residential electricity generation system – I am now like a power plant with how much power I produce.
