My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Featured Reviews for Solar Panel Installation Companies in Portland

Elemental Energy
Solar Panel Installation Companies in Portland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 9, 2015
“John G and his team did a 1-1/2 day quick and painless installation of 34 panels on our rather difficult roof structure. The system got installed/approved 3/11/15 and has worked without any problems since. Having used on avg 2000 KWH pm the preceding 6 months, our usage dropped to 505 3/11-4/9, and since then we have generated more solar energy, than used i.e. only paid GE $10.77 basic monthly charge for the past 4 months. We have accumulated 1327 KwH for free usage during the winter months.”

They were polite and purposeful in their tasks Every thing they promised has come to fuition. I feel that I am doing my share to reduce my carbon footprint and they are at least as committed to that end as I am. I am now producing about half of my energy through solar energy.”
