SBS Solar - Reviews

Great Experience from Beginning to End. SBS Solar's performance in designing, organizing and installing our solar system was absolutely flawless. Their communication is outstanding and their staff is highly talented and delightful to work with. This is one of the finest experiences with a major home project that we have had in nearly 50 years of owning homes. And SBS Solar completed the project nearly two months ahead of the date originally scheduled! I really cannot praise them too much.

Working with the SBS Solar team on installing our system was excellent. The team was very responsive to our needs, took the time to answer all of our questions in detail, and assisted us in the process to activate our net metering devices with Northwestern Energy. The actual installation proceeded smoothly - even with a late fall (early December installation) snowfall and ice. We made our decision to go with SBS very late in the year and they were able to expedite all aspects of the project in order to complete the installation and activation prior to years end. I would absolutely recommend SBS to anyone looking to install residential solar panels.

It has been almost a year since I started this journey of getting a solar system for my home. I did interview 3 different companies and then decided to go with SBS Solar. This experience has been wonderful. I was kept informed on the progress of it all, and they filed all the paperwork with the right offices for me. All my many ..... questions were answered in detail and patiently. The owners and staff were super nice people and cleaned up behind themselves all the time. After the install was complete all ran smoothly and I was happy to see those energy numbers going in my favor.This winter my back up battery seemed to not hold its charge as I had expected. I contacted Ralph, and he got right on it and fixed it remotely by changing some settings. Since then excellent maintenance of the storage. I highly recommend this company for their work ethics and excellent product.

Much more than ever expected The installers were neat, polite and professional. They even helped my wife clean a hard to reach window and demonstrated their work for a local college class. The bid was spot on and the office was responsive and very professional.

We are thrilled with our new 36-panel solar array installed recently by Dan Brandborg and his great team at SBS Solar. This highly skilled and experienced group was great to work with from start to finish, and we most highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to utilize clean solar energy for their home or business. Dan and his team were always available to answer our questions, the project went smoothly, and we are now producing clean electricity for us and even others to use. Thank you SBS Solar for everything you did.

SBS Solar completed our 11.2kW Solar PV system on our home up Rock Creek in the fall of 2010. It is comprised of 52 Sharp 216 modules and Enphase M190 microinverters. We are pleased to report that the system has produced 23.2 Megawatt hours since it was installed in the fall of 2010. In order to accommodate our flat roof and the arced shape of our home, SBS Solar built a custom ballast mounting structure for the racking. They employed 3D modeling to strategically place all the modules around the roof to avoid shading throughout the year. SBS Solar did have to replace one faulty microinverter, which they found while monitoring our system using the enlightened website. Their team, with very little down time, replaced the inverter quickly and efficiently. We are pleased with the work SBS Solar completed on our home, and their attention to details during the design, installation and monitoring stages. We would recommend them for larger solar projects on home or business.

Sustainable Building Systems, LLC recently completed the installation of 4 kW, grid-tied PV systems at three of our District Ranger Stations. Two of the systems were roof-mounted arrays and the third system had pole mounted arrays. The project was “turn-key” and included all necessary components and work for complete and operational systems. I have been very satisfied with all aspects of this project. Sustainable Building System’s project proposal was detailed and thorough. All components that they proposed met our specifications. Their personnel were highly qualified, professional, and very good to work with. They did a good job of communicating with me as well as the local staffs at each of the Ranger Stations. They also did a good job of coordinating with their subcontractors and the utility companies serving the sites. The workmanship by Sustainable Building Systems and their subcontractors was done in a quality manner with little oversight by the Forest Service. The project was completed on-time without any change orders and within the original contract amount. Based on my experience with Sustainable Building Systems on this project, I would welcome the opportunity to work with them again.
