Reviews
Clayton was very helpful steering me through the various design and specification stages. It ended up a great system that has both reduced my bill by 75% or more and you can not even tell I have a system from the street. Also works with generator so I can have a longer 'down period' if bad weather (Hurricanes) strike. It is nice to have a pro in your corner when making an expensive upgrade to your home!
Clayton managed the design and installation of the solar power system for my new house. He was great to work with and the result was just what we wanted. Clayton listened carefully to my needs and showed a lot of flexibility and creativity as we worked to create a design that would meet our power and esthetic goals. I would definitely hire Clayton again.
I worked with Clayton closely through the entire project, he is quite knowledgeable about whole solar industry, most importantly, he is very responsive and communicated very well between me and solar installers. During COVID, we have done everything online, including site survey, quote, permit, it has been quite smooth and accurate. End of installation, Clayton came on site and walked through many details with me. Very happy with the support he provided through the whole process.
