Sandbox Solar review

Positive reviews:

“Just finished up my solar installation and turn on from Sandbox Solar – it has been a wonderful and issue free process from start to finish. The whole team has been great to work with, from Andrew with the initial evaluation and proposal, to Efa coordinating the whole process, Cavin and his team doing the install over 2 days, and Tyler handling the electric work. All the details of the install were handled easily by the team – from the solar panel installs, to the electric work, to painting the hardware matching colors. The team knew exactly what they needed to do for all aspects of the install, and it was impressive seeing them doing the coordinated work. The paperwork and inspections with the city were problem free, and the system was turned on within just a few days after the install completed.” – debussyscat ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ September 25, 2024

“The project ran really well from start to end. Justin and Efa were great to deal with, were accessible for inquiries and extremely educated. The installation team was quick and everything was finished in 2 days. No issues with permit approval or city inspection. Received permission to operate from Xcel Energy in two weeks. I had a few issues with the agreement but negotiations were easy and Justin was amenable to all the changes I requested. Sandbox was not the least expensive but their pricing was competitive. I chose Sandbox because the REC solar panels they use degrade less over time and provide a better value. Don’t rely solely on EnergSage reviews when picking a company. Check reviews on other sites such as Google and NextDoor and also check BBB ratings.” – stucker918 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ April 24, 2023

“Ryan did a very clean install and connected all parts of the project, heat pump, new panels, and Powerwall 3. He was very helpful in explaining system and replacing drywall. I am pleased with his work, Gerry Hunt” – Gerald Hunt ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ May 28, 2026

“As far as I can see, the crew did a lovely job on both electrical set up and install of panels. They were nice and efficient and competent and informative. They went out of their way to do a good job AND make it look tidy and clean. It took a while to get the install scheduled, but once it was on the docket things have gone smoothly. I can’t wait to pass inspection and get the juice turned on!” – Julie from Lafayette ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ September 19, 2025

“We love Sandbox Solar, I feel like we picked the best company. The sales folks came out and gave us great recommendations for a solar system on our manufactured home. We went with a 5.3 K system with grid tie. The installers were to most professional and hard working crew we could have hoped for.” – Martin B. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ March 24, 2022

“Incredible service and people! They were able to assist me in replacing 7+ year inverters in current system. Kept me informed the entire time of progress from supplies to installation. Wonderful professional team!” – Missy H. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ March 1, 2019

“Sandbox did a fine job of installing two systems for me. I did have to offer some “quality of install” tips, but they are young and learning so I don’t hold that against them. They responded quickly when I said something.The thing that doesn’t work so great is their offer of $250 for a referral. I referred someone who had them install a system. I will admit that it does not say how many years it takes to get the $250 referral.” – Neil F. ⭐☆☆☆☆ June 20, 2019

“I really like working at Sandbox Solar. The working culture is great and promotes learning and how to work as part of the group to complete jobs with the utmost quality. A typical day is getting to the shop and finding out what team you going with and then helping get all the parts and components needed for working that day. Then driving down with your crew to the house/project location and starting to install the solar panels and components on the customers roof. Management is great to work with and are very understanding of life issues are happen and will bend over backwards to help you. The hardest part of the job in my opinion is dealing with the weather. Sandbox helps to make sure extra time is accounted for during very hot and very cold weather. The most enjoyable part of the job is the comradery you build with your coworkers. The friends you make and how you bond over working together through tough weather and getting the job done is irreplaceable.” – Solar Installer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ June 16, 2025

“As an ambitious and local growing company, Sandbox Solar provides ample opportunity for growth in all directions for its employees. As an office employee I am granted a great deal off freedom and flexibility in my work/life schedule working in office or from home if needed. I am also provided with creative freedoms that allow me to dive deeper into my love for marketing and renewable energy. As a smaller company, benefits are limited but are increasing along with company success as well as opportunities for advancement inside of Sandbox. Because of the ever changing landscape of the work environment these days it is hard to find consistency in team members with reliable skills sets but as Sandbox grows, talent continues to arrive! With a great culture and mission Sandbox Solar is and admirable company to work for!” – Marketing Coordinator ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ March 17, 2024

Negative reviews:

“As a former employee I would never recommend this company to anyone. The work quality is very poor. There is blatant favoritism within. If you do not blindly follow they will create a hostile work environment in order to push you out a d make you quite. Poor leadership and management. The owners are just a responsible for the lack of leadership as are the people they appoint to leadership roles. They show 0 respect or gratitude for the employees that actually keep the company going” – Crew Leader / Lead Installer ⭐☆☆☆☆ March 14, 2021

“Sandbox did a detach and reset for us in Boulder when we had our roof replaced (our original solar installer was no longer in business), they did a great job. Really nice group of people, professional, courteous, left everything in good shape. Showed us some squirrel damage we weren’t aware of that had taken a few panels out of service, we added critter guard as a result so we are less likely to have the issue going forward. Happy to recommend their work.” – A Sussman ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ July 2026

“So grateful for Sanbox Solar and their team for helping me with my solar panels! I needed new inverters and a critter guard installed, and they fit me in quickly as a new customer!It’s obvious how much pride they take in their work. The customer service is fantastic, and their technicians are amazing.Highly recommend!” – Karen Willer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ July 2026

“Whoever’s in the loaded down crew cab F-450 flatbed cutting people off going 80 through the construction on I-25 and crossing the white line in the Curve nearly hitting me with your company logo on the truck should probably be removed from your crew. Happened at 6/16/26 3:56 p.m. If they work like they drive is not going to stand up to the rest of these reviews here anyway.” – Morgan H. ⭐☆☆☆☆ June 2026

“It looks like everyone loves this company’s work but beware of the install crew. They are blaring loud music that you can hear all around the neighborhood. They don’t understand that people live here. That says volumes about their company.Your reply to my comments and your phone call are indicative of your lack of caring. In addition, after I complained to you your install crew turned up the volume when they knew we were outside our house. You are not at a beach party. You are doing a job. You are in our neighborhood. Please be respectful.” – Sonya Graywolf ⭐☆☆☆☆ 2020
