“The whole process couldn’t have been easier. And their price was the lowest of the quotes I received.” — What Our Clients Are Saying
Over 15 Years, Green Power Energy has had the chance to deliver energy solutions to amazing people
EXCELLENT Based on 505 reviews Posted on Google George AvirappattuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Green Power Energy is a local installer. Let start with saying I am extremely happy, after about a year of installation, and yes, I waited to see everything is okay before I write this. Great things: 1. They are smaller and local-so quick and to the point responsive to questions 2. Very friendly and helpful staff. 3. Great guidance from beginning to end. The App is great with every stage of the installation. 4. More cost efficient from three solid quotes we received. Few things I would like to see improved: 1. More resources/options: Tesla batteries/inverters versus other products. 2. Not necessarily the most knowledgeable on available options/products or so it appeared to me (for example didn’t make it clear how Tesla batteries were required, and didn’t make it clearer that inverters were built into those batteries) 3. Post installation follow-up weren’t quite complete. But all-in-all I would definitely go with them if I have to do it again! Very happy with the panels and overall system functionality.Posted on Google Behnaz PakizegiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reliable, responsive, prompt. Austin Dow facilitated the work at every step. We weren't sure we'd make the Dec. 31 deadline before federal tax credits would stop – Austin honestly informed us of the uncertainty – but it looks like we’ll make it. The speed with which they operated was impressive. We are waiting for the final inspections by the town and PSE&G, and then we'll be good to go. Hopefully, everything will work as well as Green Power Energy has done so far.Posted on Google Joshua BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Choosing Green Power Energy for my solar panel installation was the right decision. Their staff was knowledgeable, making the sales experience simple, and the installation was handled with speed and professionalism. Crucially, their commitment to post-installation support has been outstanding. I'm extremely satisfied and confidently recommend Green Power Energy to anyone ready to make the switch to solar.Posted on Google Matt LloydTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Green Power Energy has been great to work with. No pressure at all. Installation was quick and the system is performing as promised.Posted on Google Megan LloydTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Response time was fantastic and the installation couldn't have been smoother. It was installed and the guys were cleaning up before I even had a chance to check on them. There has been absolutely no hiccups since it's been up and running and I'm glad we have the ongoing support of Green Power.Posted on Google Mayur PatelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great Company. I did my research with different solar panel installation companies and found that Green Power Energy was one of the best in the region when it comes to customer service, managing the project timelines, and coordinating with the utilities, and townships for approvals. Everyone was very helpful during the entire project lifecycle.Posted on Google L PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Living in PA, my solar installation was a three-year ordeal, almost entirely due to PECO's inability to upgrade their equipment. For nearly two of those years, Juliette and her team at GPE were incredibly patient. They navigated multiple permits and redesigns, all while we waited on PECO. Despite countless supply chain and tariff issues, GPE never raised their prices or asked for additional funds. The moment PECO finally finished their work, GPE delivered and installed the panels in just two days. The whole team was great and communicated with me every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend them.Posted on Google Matthew LigottiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Green Power Energy did an amazing job with my solar installation in NJ. The whole process was easy from start to finish, and their team was professional and friendly. They showed up on time, worked quickly, and got everything set up without any stress on my end. I had one small issue after the system was up and running, and they had it taken care of within just a couple of days. That kind of follow-up really shows they care about their customers. Overall, they were quick, reliable, and great to work with. I would definitely recommend Green Power Energy to anyone thinking about going solar.Posted on Google Jobin JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Green Power Energy made my residential solar installation straightforward and stress-free. The entire process was handled efficiently, and I was able to complete all paperwork electronically. Just like they promised all I really needed to do was sign forms and make payments. They handled every other detail. Every member of the team—from the consultant and financial staff to the installers—was professional, courteous, and helpful. My system has been running for a week now and is performing as expected. I appreciate the clear communication and smooth process, and I would recommend Green Power Energy to others considering solar. On top of all this they offer one of the best prices on their system with top line panels and microinvertors.Posted on Google Michael BrownsteinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very responsible and easy to work with, from start to finish.
