Marcus T.
Solar States walked us through every step from design to final inspection. The crew was respectful of our property and finished on schedule. Our electric bill dropped from $200 to under $30 in the first full month.
Diana P.
We chose Solar States because of their community mission and B-Corp certification. The installation was seamless, and the monitoring app makes it easy to track production. Very happy with our decision to go solar.
Kevin L.
Great installation quality and knowledgeable team. The permitting process took a few weeks longer than expected, but Solar States kept us informed throughout. System is performing above projections so far.
