11/5/21: “We spent a fair amount of time deciding which solar company to go with and Ipsun was the clear choice. The important considerations for us were that the company had an established track record, first-rate technical expertise, and solid evidence of doing business ethically. We did not look for the lowest price we could get, but we did want to be confident that we were getting a fair price. We have been delighted with every aspect of dealing with Ipsun.
- Every Ipsun person we’ve worked with has been first rate: knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Our specific needs were very much taken into account during the design process. There was no pressure to buy anything we didn’t need, but care was taken that our system would be adequately sized. Ipsun’s quote wasn’t the lowest we got, but it was the one that provided the most value in terms of price vs capacity.
- Everything about the physical installation on the house looks beautiful – exactly to the design document. It was a pleasure to see the electrician and rooftop installers at work — they obviously take pride in doing excellent work.
- Now our installation is now complete. We’ve passed our final county inspection and gotten permission to turn-on from our electric utility Dominion Energy. It’s only been a week with the system running, but it’s already obvious that it’s very unlikely we’ll ever see another electric bill. Even on a rainy day we produce enough juice to run the house during the day, and on a fully sunny day we produce enough for almost three days and nights. We’re not running the AC, of course, in November, but the days are much shorter now and the sun is less bright. We can see from the new two-way net meter that so far we’ve sold back three times more electricity than we’ve purchased.
- One thing we’ve learned from talking to neighbors who also got solar, but not from Ipsun, is that there are many bureaucratic steps along the way which can become pitfalls. County building permits and inspections, power utility company applications and approvals. All of these details were completely handled by Ipsun for us. Unlike an unfortunate neighbor who went with another company, we never found ourselves going “round and round” with the county inspector, the utility company, and their solar company. With Ipsun, everything was hassle free.”
