GR8 Energy review

Positive reviews:

“After an exhaustive search for a company to work with, I was fortunate to find GR8 Energy to do my solar installation. Both Ross and Grace Fockler are great to work with and were pleasant and courteous in answering my questions and keeping me informed. The terrific service carried on with the installation crew including Rafael, Hebert and Omar. They had all the panels installed on the roof in one day and returned on a following day to finish the wiring, which included a panel upgrade, and system activation. I’ve been enjoying my own power generation now for a couple weeks and couldn’t be happier.” – James W. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ January 7, 2020

“I have talked to many solar companies and Ross was the most professional and knowledgeable of anyone l have talked to so far. I had several very technical questions about specific panels, inverters and warranties, he explained everything to me in a way that was very concise, unbiased and understandable. He also took the time to explain the pros and cons of a couple options available(micro inverters vs one inverter). Thank you Ross for truly exceptional service.” – Gavin S. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ September 1, 2020

Negative reviews:

“Just like many others, I have called and emailed for service and I can not receive a call back. Stay away from this company. There are so many other solar companies that will provide service. This is NOT one of them. Fail! I wished I never did business with them. All solar systems will require service from time to time. Pick a company that actually gets good reviews for service. Not Gr8 energy.” – Steve S. ⭐☆☆☆☆ April 12, 2025

“We’ve been calling for weeks to get an update on a part that their team ordered to get our solar up and running again. No one has called us back with an update. All we’re asking at this point is for communication. They had replaced our battery which caused a part to blow, which has left us with no functional panels since mid- April.” – Susan S. ⭐☆☆☆☆ June 13, 2023

“We’ve had our solar array about 5 years and recently needed our roof replaced. I called GR8 to arrange the panel removal and they put us on the schedule right away. Once the roof was done they made sure we were right back on their schedule! The installers make sure to get everything put back and ensured we were up and running. Grace was a joy to work with and stayed in touch to make sure we were happy customers. The original install went without a hitch as well. Thanks GR8 Energy!” – Charlene L ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2024

“Our experience with the GR8 Energy team could not have been better. From pre-purchase information through final approval by Southern California Edison, they were with us all the way. The work was completed on time, with great workmanship and good clean up. The one-year anniversary of our install is coming later this month. 11 months of electric bills prove that the scaling of the project was right on. Under the net metering rate plan, the power company will owe us money on the settle-up date. Thank you Ross and team.” – Jamie Brown ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2017

Negative reviews:

“Our installation was in February 2017. We have been sending emails and leaving phone messages for several months and have NEVER had a response.Three of our panels are not operating and I cannot even get an acknowledgment. Based on my experiene, this appears to be a company based on sales without any interest in service once the check clears. BUYERS BEWARE?” – MrRushCreek ⭐☆☆☆☆ 2021

“Had multiple issues with the install. First the ballasts they used weren’t approved by the inspector, which delayed the process and caused additional thousands of dollars to be added to the cost. Then there were some issues with getting the inspection approval. Then issues with the PTO.Then issues with the voltage of the system which caused more delays and more thousands of dollars.This all took almost 2 years and about $6k additional to the project.Then after a few months of the system mostly working, it has stopped responding and generating, and I haven’t been able to reach anyone at GR8 energy for over a month.This has caused the system to be a huge time and money sink without generating nearly enough in terms of energy bills to offset the cost.” – Luke R ⭐☆☆☆☆ 2025
