Hi Justen,

It is totally normal to have questions about deliveries, especially since solar gear often ships in separate parts from different spots! We are just glad our team could jump in and clear things up for you. Thanks for the 5 star review and for being so great to work with!

They have absolutely no support except on telephone which is not helpful at all. So basically I am out thousands of dollars for a broken system.

Hi Becky,

We are so sorry for the frustration! We really want to help get your system up and running, which is why our Operations Manager has reached out numerous times over the last few weeks. Since we specialize in DIY kits, we do not have physical installers to send out, but our tech team is great at troubleshooting over the phone or email. We have tried to help troubleshoot your system several times, but we are still waiting on some specific info from you so we can figure out the fix. Please check your inbox or give us a call so we can get this sorted out together!

I can’t say enough good things about this company. Anytime I run into a hiccup or experience an issue with products or missing products or anything that comes up. It’s resolved immediately to keep my project moving forward. I recently needed a different set of battery cables and they were shipped out the same day that I made the inquiry just received tracking that they’ll be here tomorrow. Chantelle was awesome and making that happen. You do not need to look for a different solar equipment provider this is a one stop shop with phenomenal customer service.

Hi Jeff,

We're so sorry for the frustration. We emailed the same day you ordered to let you know the adapter was backordered. We are sorry that our review system reached out at such a bad time. We would love to make this right if you decide to give us another shot down the road.

Professional company with helpful staff…

Professional company with staff accessible and willing to assist me throughout the entire process; equipment selection, installation and problem resolution. They had a mixup on equipment compatibility that was very understandable but they resolved all the issues promptly and professionally. I have recommended others to this company. I have had the equipment for a year now and the EG4 system is operating very well.

Who ever is putting the order together for shipping, needs to review the order form and ensure that the correct products are being shipped.
I'm still waiting for a refund to be posted on my credit card, it been 14 days since issued.

Overall average to very Good

Good support for the most part, a bit slow on responses and a couple email still no replay too. Overall shopping experience was good though and that part of communication was very welcomed experience. Please with online shopping experience and communication about products purchased. However before hand was hit miss via email questions.

Hi Rick,

We really appreciate the honest feedback! We're so glad the shopping and post-purchase communication went well for you, but we're sorry to hear we missed the mark on those earlier emails. We know how important those pre-sale questions are when you're planning a system, so we're working hard to tighten up our response times across the board. Thank you for sticking with us, and please don't hesitate to give us a nudge if you’re still waiting on any specific answers, we want to make sure you're 100% taken care of!

They answer calls and all questions

They answer calls and all questions. I had panels broken upon arrival. The had all 3 panels replaced within 1 week.
My batteries came with certification and I checked the certification. It was right on.

It pains me to leave a 3 star review

It pains me to leave a 3 star review. I was hoping for much better performance from Shop Solar. I ordered 10-590 watt Sungold solar panels on 2-23-26. I received them 3-13. 2 1/2 weeks. During that time Shop Solar customer service got involved. They said Sungold blamed the shipper. I called the shipper, they blamed Sungold. This was a direct shipment from Sungold, not Shop Solar.

I may give them another chance but my expectations aren’t that high anymore.

Hi Mike,

We're sorry for the frustration with your delivery! It's always tough when we and the manufacturer get everything ready on time, but then the third-party shipper runs into delays on the road. We definitely don't want you feeling like your business isn't a priority, and we're taking your feedback to heart to see how we can better handle carrier issues in the future. We'd love to help you out again down the road and prove we can do better!

Fedex did a terrible job- sat at local terminal for 2 weeks. Did not call prior to delivery and left in less than ideal location

Hi Karen,

Thanks for letting us know about this. I hate to hear that FedEx made the delivery such a mess for you. Since they're a third-party service, we don't always have the control we'd like over that "last mile," and two weeks is a long time to wait for a local terminal to move. We really appreciate your patience while dealing with them! If there's anything wrong with the order due to the delivery location, just give us a shout and we'll make it right.
