FULL SPECTRUM SOLAR

From the start the project engineer (I worked with Mark W.) and anyone I interacted with were courteous, informative, professional and efficient. The entire process to identify if the site qualified for a system (shade, sun aspect, roof strength, etc.) through to final hook up takes several months and I was satisfied with the entire process. The decision to install a PV system starts with an analysis of current electrical use to size the system appropriately. We added a complication by asking the project manager to calculate how many PV panels we'd need to add to charge an electric vehicle three times a week. That was added that into the calculations, projections and return on investment analysis. The ROI analysis was easy to understand and, from my perspective, reasonable and realistic. Throughout the process our project manager kept us informed, and walked us through paperwork to get utility rebates and group buy discounts. We further complicated the process by adding a "time of use" meter and upgrading the line to the street to 200 amp service and Full Spectrum helped coordinate that installation with our utility. They also worked well with the electrician we hired (Prana Electric, see review) to upgrade our house panel to 200 amp service and connect the solar system into the panel. I would hire Full Spectrum again, and highly recommend both the company and it's partner, MadiSun which helps educate and enroll people in solar installations.

They've always done great work for me.

Full Spectrum Solar did an outstanding job installing our roof-mounted solar system. It was done quickly and efficiently, looks good and has functioned as advertised since it was performed. Well done guys!

I can't say enough how honest and thorough Andy was. He's an excellent rep for the company, very knowledgeable and courteous, and honest. I also liked the products Full Spectrum offers. We discussed that quality and durability were important factors to us. Good warranties!If I had the right conditions, I'd probably be doing business with Andy and Full Spectrum right now.

The process went fairly well. The full cycle from my commit (deposit) to completion of job was about 4 weeks. The panels/inverter were installed in about 3 days. There was a 10 day wait for the AC hookup which took about 1 1/2 days. The company helped with all paperwork. Response was quick and thorough.

It went well. They were willing to delay finishing the project until January 1, 2006, so we could take advantage of the federal tax rebate for solar projects. With the Focus on Energy rebate and our projected federal tax rebate, the unit will only cost us around $2500.
