Customer Reviews for SunVantage Solar
Ratings & Reviews
Read all of SunVantage Solar's Google reviews hereJust updating my previous review. We since had SunVantage double the size of our system to accommodate 2 EV's. We were again very happy with the service we received. The additional solar panels required upgrading our electrical panel. Brandon was great and took care of everything. Our upgraded system has been working for over a year now. Brandon did an excellent job estimating the size of the system. We generate enough to charge the cars and run the A/C all summer long without an electric bill!
I cannot recommend Brandon enough! We purchased our first EV and knew that we would likely need to add onto the old solar that was already on our home when we bought it. Brandon and the SunVantage team helped us to determine how much we should add to account for the new vehicle as well as how we could place the new more efficient panels in optimal places on our roof.
Brandon, the owner of Sunvantage, is exceptionally knowledgeable about everything pertaining to solar. From panel types to batteries, he is forthcoming with solar information. We trust him completely and his crew did an excellent job. His rates are reasonable and he offers financing. We got our own loan, but his rates were pretty good. Sunvantage put 36 panels on our roof in a few days and Brandon monitored our performance to make sure everything worked as he expected. Our neighbors have complimented our panels appearance and the fact that they don't produce a glare. Of all the contractors we have hired, and it has been over 20 as we north of 60, Brandon has been the most professional and competent.
