Testimonial
"Stefan and his team set our home up with Solar and we could not be happier with the project and professionalism of the team.
The project management / communication was above my expectation and the team went above and beyond to exceed expectations. They were hands on from getting municipal permits, government grants, to final sign off.
The municipal agent (electrical / engineering department) said our solar job was one of the best, cleanest he has signed off on in my local community."
