Read all of Sandbar Solar & Electric's Google reviews hereI had a fantastic experience working with Sandbar Solar! The entire team was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. They made the process of going solar seamless and stress-free. A special shoutout to Jocelyn, who was especially helpful throughout the entire project. She was always available to answer my questions and guide me through every step of the way. I highly recommend Sandbar Solar to anyone considering solar energy for their home or business!
The installation of solar on our home has been a pleasure throughout the process. Sandbar are a local business and everyone we interacted with clearly enjoy what they are doing, were professional and care deeply about the quality of the installation and their relationship with clients - who after-all are neighbors. We learned much throughout the process from the original design, permitting, installation and future maintenance.
After interviewing five "local" solar installation companies and doing our due diligence, we chose Sandbar Solar for our solar installation in 2023. One of our neighbors (who had Sandbar as their solar installer) were very pleased with Sandbar's professionalism, customer service and installation - and recommended them highly. Our experience was the same ... excellent! Nothing fell through the cracks, as a customer you can actually speak to a live person (!) and the team was on time for all appointments. Lastly, we appreciated the after-installation follow up. Sandbar is top-notch from beginning to end!
