The team at Switch to Solar walked us through the entire process and made sure we understood everything. They also paid to relocate our existing pool solar to a different location on the roof. We are very satisfied with the service we received and would recommend this company.

I met Bennett Maxwell when he knocked on my door asking if he could get my signature for the HOA. My neighbor was getting Solar and the HOA requires that all neighbors sign off on any changes. I thought that Bennett was going above and beyond to do that for his client. I took the opportunity to ask him some questions I had about Solar. He came into my home to answer my questions. He was the least pushiest, the most informative, caring sales person I have ever dealt with. I decided to go ahead and get Solar. He has been available throughout the whole process and I am happy that the process was extremely easy - thanks to Bennett's very capable leadership of his Solar Team.

The biggest takeaway was I was always skeptical. And it's like now I'm a believer. I never felt comfortable before doing it. And then finally, I met the right person that explained it. And it's like, OK, wow, this works. Wow. We should've done this earlier.

The one thing that I noticed is that my attic is probably about eight degrees cooler because of the solar panels. They're basically covering probably 40 to 50 percent of the roof. Instead of radiating heat into the attic, it’s making power and shading the roof. It keeps the house cool, too. I notice the air conditioner doesn't run as much. It’s all been better than I thought. This month last year, I probably paid about $400 in electrical. I'm saving about $300 this month.

Your team and everyone I've worked with within your team has been very helpful. They listen to the issues that I was having. Like, the problem with the permit on the electrical panel. That's something that I never even knew about. So your team did a really good job educating me on the issue and helping me figure out a solution for it.

Bennett was calm, poised, knowledgeable and his goal was clearly to help you understand the Solar panel concept and operation. I signed with him. AND I DON'T REGRET IT. He was responsive, at all the phases of the process. A call was responded immediately. A mail, the same. Did he needed to call the installer or someone else for a possible date or for anything else... he Was Here. Bravo Bennett! Keep on doing the same thing, this is the road of success. Be well and thank you!

Step 4: Turn It On

After installation is complete, we’ll let your local city/county know to complete a final inspection. After that, we get permission to turn everything on and your new shiny solar system is pumping out clean and affordable energy. That’s the Switch To Solar experience.
