YSG Solar

Stay away from this company. They installed my residential system a few years back. The system developed a problem within the warranty coverage period and they are reneging on their obligation to repair. Shamelessly refused to honor the warranty. Bunch of crooks!

We had spoken to many solar companies to get solar. Our business operates 24/7 so having a company that does not slow down our operations was important. YSG kept us up to speed through out the entire process. Thank you YSG, you made the process simple and the work came out great. We are excited to start saving money and are thrilled to use all of the tax benefits from the city and government. You guys rock!

It's been over 5 months since we signed the contract and paid for our solar and still, we are not connected. we can't get any answer from the salesperson, and they never answer the office line. horrible costumer service! I strongly recommend never to deal with them!

My husband and I got quotes online from 2 other companies before signing with YSG. First of all, the other two quotes we got were nothing like the final price they provided so that already rubbed me the wrong way. They also both had shorter warranties so I knew even if we saved a small amount upfront we would most likely end up paying for it later.

We finally signed with YSG in May 2020 and had our system fully installed and connected by the end of July, just in time to see our $450 summer Con Ed bill shrink to $62 within the first month. We have had smooth sailing since then. I would definitely recommend YSG to friends and family.

We have been receiving letters in the mail for the last 5 years. At one point my wife and I even signed a contract with Cypress Creek only to waste over a year and to get nothing accomplished. YSG really stood out to us being a company that was actually based in New York state instead of most of the other companies who contacted us to lease our land who are in California.

The process took over 2 years from the point we signed the lease until the lease payments started. YSG took care of the entire process and it didn't cost us anything. Thank you YSG, the lease payments go towards our retirement and we could not be happier leasing our land to YSG Solar farms. The only regrets we have is not finding YSG sooner

YSG installed my system in 2019 and it broke in 2021 and it took me sometime for them to respond to my calls and emails. Finally they send a part which I had to hire someone to install it. It broke again in January 2022 and I have been trying to contact them via email and phone and no one answering them. Every equipment will break at some point, if you want a quality service DO NOT HIRE YSG. From my experience, they will never take ownership of their job.

My Tesla is now being charged from the sun! thank you YSG Solar. In September we started searching for a solar panel company. My neighbor used another company that we met previously who came to our home to provide us an estimate. We started the process and after months nothing occurred, my husband ended up cancelling. We called YSG and within one day of calling we received the estimate.

From the day the paperwork was signed until the panel system had been installed was just weeks. This was a big relief. It was not an easy decision for us to go electric with our car. YSG even installed our Tesla charger, they delivered on all of their promises and are a true professional company. There is nothing better than getting a $20 power bill.

People working in the office are nice but people hired by YGS are not professional. Under solar panels many Wire hang that suppose to be dressed and ro be secured. Later on that wire will give you problem. YSG solar hire cheap Chinese labor that are not good quality of skills. They did a job. Not fraud. I got the solar and people were nice to me all the times. But you have to think who is going to install your solar.

Stay away from this company! Took them eight months for a two week installation! Customer service is the worst I've ever experienced in any business! If you need service done good luck with that! I written to the better business bureau about this Company and still no Service. I still have an open permit open on my home from there installations from 2018 so haven't received any property tax credit for the solar panels! It's 2021 now! There's no way to get in touch with them over the phone only by email which they respond to if they feel like it or never. Believe the company is going out of business or something but trust me you wanna stay away from them!

All I can say is wow and convey surprise that solar is actually all it's cracked up to be. For years I had been hearing about people getting solar panels but never understood how we could benefit with the gloomy weather we have 9 months a year in NY (ha). Then we finally heard about YSG from my wife's coworker and decided to get an estimate since it didn't obligate us to anything.

After speaking with our accountant we realized it was actually a beneficial investment for us. We ended up not taking any vacations last year (Thank you Covid. I guess) and used the money we saved to pay for the net portion. The rest we financed with no interest. YSG helped us complete all the financing docs and pulled all the permitting etc for us. Had our system installed July 2021 and have seen a huge reduction. All in all I'm glad we invested. Would recommend YSG.

We are very satisfied with the overall experience with YSG. Ken and team was very professional to walk us through the process every step of the way. Installation crew knows what they are doing and get everything installed within a day.

We had a great experience with YSG solar! Would highly recommend them to any friends/family that are looking for the same. Work for us was quick, effortless, and pain free as possible compared to other horror stories we have heard from other vendors.

YSG is your one stop shop for everything solar and renewal energy. I've been working with them on some solar farm prospects and Dave, Raymond and Dylan are the absolute best! Being a professional like myself I need to work with a company that's committed to making sure everything runs smooth with no interruptions. YSG is head and shoulders above the rest for sure.

This company is very unprofessional. I greatly regret hiring them. Do yourself a favor and Stay away. There are much better options out there. Salesman Ken made multiple misrepresentations including the amount of panels I would get. He stated to me that I would be getting a storage battery and when it wasn't installed he then strung me along for months telling me that it would be installed soon.

He then told me that I would have to hire the installation company directly and that I would have to pay them. Needless to say I had to hire a lawyer and am in the process of filing a lawsuit.

After hearing about solar incentives and doing some due diligence research for a local solar contractor, I found YSG. Originally nervous about undertaking such a huge project, Ken answered all 1 million of my questions with patience. No pressure, I wasted at least 3 months of his time before I actually went through with the process. The only problem I ran into was installation timing.

Given we're doing this amidst a global pandemic, shipping times etc all were affected. Needless to say I'm very happy with my install and the product itself. I highly recommend these guys and if you want to see their work first hand ask them to show you my property. I got 19 panels installed.

WARNING - DO NOT USE YSG SOLAR. They do not honor their rebates or promises. We were fraudulently induced into entering into a contract and promised in writing a $2000 rebate. After installation, we requested the rebate and were told that the salesperson that offered us the rebate no longer works there and they wouldn't honor it. There is a complaint filed with the NYS Attorney General's Office Consumer Fraud Unit and the Better Business Bureau. YSG's response is riddled with lies and misrepresentations.

This was not an after the fact asking for a promotion! We are not relying on a promotion. We were induced into a contract for solar with a promised rebate of $2000. This was written directly to us from salesman Steven O'Donnell from YSG Solar. After installation, we requested our rebate was was told that the salesman no longer works there and he was mistaken so they wouldn't honor the rebate.

This led to 5 months of emails and calls and they finally sent us half. They refused to give us the remaining rebate money. Reported to the NYS Attorney General's Consumer Fraud Unit and the Better Business Bureau. Even more troubling is that they lied to the BBB and said this was a promotion we were seeking after the fact - completely ignoring the written emails with the promised rebate!

Every consumer needs to be aware of their fraudulent practices that introduced us to YSG. We did have contract negotiations with salesman Steven O'Donnell. He wrote in an email to us that the system we were purchasing entitled us to the $2000 rebate and 6 months of free solar. We verified it with him and he repeated the promise to us. Why do you fail to address this email?

Not the promotion - the promise that induced us to enter in a contract in the first place. Your timeline also forgets that when we called to inquire about our rebate we were told that Steven O'Donnell doesn't work at YSG anymore and you would not honor the rebate he promised us! I have NEVER said that I am an attorney so give me money. That is an irresponsible lie. I asked to speak to the legal department and was told there isn't one! Please stop the lies. Reputable businesses do not conduct themselves in this manner.

So I used this company on the recommendation of a friend and I absolutely regret it. Now I know this review is coming a few years too late but finally got around to doing it. I had the system installed in February 2018. The original design of the system was for 22 300 watt panels with the solaredge 7600 watt inverter making it a 6.6kwh peak system.

Due to my house having a flat roof they would of had to put 2 panels on the lower roof so to keep it looking symmetrical we agreed to add 2 more panels to the system which should have made it a 7.2kwh peak system. Install went fairly smooth only issue was the installers left a mess in my basement, not a huge issue but unprofessional. Once we got into summer I started noticing my system is clipping at 5kwh.

I found this odd considering the system size. I look at the inverter on my house and notice its not the size that was supposed to be put on. They installed the solaredge 5000 watt inverter. I brought this up to the company numerous times and was basically blown off every time and fed lines of crap as to why that inverter was put on. Fast forward to 2019 and we started getting a leak in the ceiling in my youngest kids room. YSG sent their roofer out to look at it and confirmed it was from the install. YSG only wanted to patch the spot on the roof.

After arguing with them the agreed to remove the system and WE paid to have the roof replaced that they messed up. After the roof was replaced we fought with them for about another month to get the panels reinstalled. They kept canceling appointments, and one of the appointments we had the installers never came but aparently(according to them) had actually come and finished the job.

Obviously a lie because the panels were still pulled up in front of my garage, oh and I couldn't use my garage this whole time because where the panels where. I do not recommend this company. They promise you one thing and don't deliver. Oh and I had talked to the owner of the company that installed my father's solar system and he confirmed what I already new which is that they under powered my system with the smaller inverter. Do yourself a favor and stay away.

YSG are the go to solar guys. Two of my colleagues had systems installed by two of the bigger name companies and both of them have had non stop issues since their systems were installed in 2017 and 2018. I had a hard time finding a solar contractor after listening to their experiences until I met YSG at a trade show out in Staten Island in 2019. After about a year of going back and forth we finally pulled the trigger and had our system installed January 2020, right before the pandemic hit.

Throughout all the shut downs and issues out of their control YSG was able to keep me in the loop and the closeout process was pretty quick considering what disarray the city was in at that point. Our system has been running beautifully for the last 5ish months since it was turned on and we've overproduced so far this summer. If my wife gets her way we'll be moving out of the city soon and I would absolutely hire YSG again for a solar system. Thanks Felix C.

My Tesla is now being charged from the sun! thank you YSG Solar. In September we started searching for a solar panel company. My neighbor used another company that we met previously who came to our home to provide us an estimate. We started the process and after months nothing occurred, my husband ended up cancelling. We called YSG and within one day of calling we received the estimate.

From the day the paperwork was signed until the panel system had been installed was just weeks. This was a big relief. It was not an easy decision for us to go electric with our car. YSG even installed our Tesla charger, they delivered on all of their promises and are a true professional company. There is nothing better than getting a $20 power bill.

The team to install led by James and Eric were awesome. They accommodated the ideas I had about the system install and even accommodated some semi last minute equipment changes my husband wanted to make regarding different looking panels. The work looks great and they cleaned up very well. Really nice guys, they even took the time to go over the system with my son so he can keep an eye on it when we're out of town for half the year.

We had our system installed in June 2020 and have already banked a good amount of power with Coned above what we used, which used to be around $250/month. Couldn't be more satisfied.

Team YSG for the win! This is my first solar experience and I couldn't be happier. Up to installation I'd say is 3 stars as I ran into a few issues and it can be difficult to contact the service reps. Basically I had many questions and had a hard time understanding some aspects, but not at the fault of YSG. However, once that hurdle was crossed the install crew at YSG did a fantastic job.

The crew lead was patient and kind and walked me through the entire process. The team was super friendly and nice and they did what they could to accommodate my requests. The job was supposed to be done in 4-5 hours but they were stopped by 4 different safety inspectors which delayed them an additional 2 hours. I know things can get crazy with the Long Island Building Dept where I live, and I know this again was no fault of YSG and they handled it like champs. Overall, they were extremely friendly, nice, safe, and kind.

Even the men who worked on the top were friendly. I've had my system for going on 9 months and our PSEG bill is already in the negative each month. Thanks so much for everything.

After looking at multiple companies, we went with YSG and are very happy we did. They had no high pressure sales tactics, aka let my wife take her sweet time deciding while still honoring the quoted price, and were actually 40-50% cheaper (!) per KW than the other two companies we looked at in detail. The whole application process was very streamlined and well organized, almost all done online, with YSG taking care of all the paperwork, right down to getting the local building permit.

The installation itself was done less than 12 weeks after we opened our application, which was incredibly fast compared to what the others were offering, plus the installers were actually YSG employees, not contractors. Finally, I think YSG's panels look better, with a lower profile and a nice skirt around all the panels versus the design examples we received from the other two companies. We are very pleased with our panels and the entire project.

Before getting Solar I talked with many companies and got numerous quotes but none were as low as YSG, especially factoring in the long warranties that come with the equipment YSG uses. With that said, YSG also had a decent amount of negative or just so-so reviews so I had to take that into consideration. I spoke with the rep, Ken, several times about getting Solar before I decided to do it.

He was amazing and assured me YSG had made many changes to better the experience and he was right. As a contractor myself in another field, I've seen first hand how one bad apple can spoil the bunch when it comes to a smooth working project. If one part of the cog doesn't do their part, the whole operation can be at a standstill and make me look bad as the contractor.

So I was aware of the potential for unexpected hiccups to arise and I'm pleased to say we actually had none. The entire process was great and although it has only been up and running for 6 months, I can see each day how much I am saving. Highly recommend going Solar with YSG, I was not disappointed. I was offered an Amazon gift card for the time I spent going out of my way to leave a review, but I was never asked to leave any specific amount of stars and YSG told me to be honest in my review.

In this day and age, when everything is done online and anyone can look up a company's reviews, it makes sense to me that a company would go out of their way to have past customers sharing their experiences online for future customers to see.

I had my panels installed last November. During the site survey they informed me that my roof was in pretty bad shape, we have had some bad hail storms over the years here and just had a bad one before they did the survey. The survey guy showed us pictures of the roof so we could see the issue for ourselves. YSG even offered to help find grants for the roof if our insurance would not cover it. Thankfully our insurance did.

Once our roof was fixed we called and they came right out to resurvey, all went well and our final engineering design showed we needed fewer panels than originally estimated, which is great news. We finally got installed without any headache and then had to wait for the city and Coned to inspect. The inspections and re roof were the only part of the process that took time.

Our panels look great on our roof and production monitoring is AWESOME! Also, the customer service people were the most friendly and helpful people. Our original Coned bill was over $400, we now pay less than $40 per month and my wife is finally happy with me for one decision I've made in 20 years.

I had a great experience with YSG Solar. There were a few hiccups between utility and YSG about the maximum size of the system that can be installed at my home which caused a bit of a delay. After that cleared out, installation was scheduled. I was very impressed with installation crew. They did a great job putting up the system. They wore masks while communicating with me. Cleaned up after themselves after using my basement for connections.

We've had the system installed for about 6 months now and have seen about an 80% reduction in our Coned bill which is what we were originally promised. I would highly recommend YSG for your solar energy needs.

100% absolutely outstanding, completely exceeded my expectations. The crew was on time, worked like a fine tuned unit, helpful to each other, no idle chatter or loitering while in between tasks. If idle, the guys respectfully stood back from the Workman at hand, and observed. No one was busy constantly checking their phones, if they did so it was only for an instant and out of view of the homeowner.

No foul language whatsoever even when working within their own areas, only respectful, cordial language was used every minute of the job. My total compliments to the crew leader, who was THE most friendly, accommodating, professional person that could be. Also a shout out to Aaron who was also a top of roof crew lead, and two other guys named Andrew and Marcus, also roof guys who did a great job as well. I had no idea your installers would be so perfect, I absolutely made the right choice in going with YSG Solar.

If you are looking to finance, these guys started it all. They were one of just two or three offering desirable finance options when we got our installation about 4 years ago and the only ones offering a pay upfront option. This is the way to make the numbers really work in your favor. As far as I know, YSG Solar is one of the only leasing companies that doesn't sub-contract.

When you hire them, you get them. Of the four or five large, national companies, they are definitely the leaders. In fact the other day a solar industry member said "as goes YSG Solar, so goes the industry." On the down side, the installation seemed to take a long time. But to be fair, they had just moved to the state, were scrabbling to hire and train new people and the sales office for CA was in NY.

Now they have many more people and 2-3 locations in NY alone. Much has changed since our system was installed. We have referred countless neighbors and coworkers to YSG over the last few years and have heard nothing but good things reported back. Our system performs the same as it did the day it was installed.

This process has been outstanding. I got about 7 solar quotes. YSG Solar came in lower than everyone and lower than about half even when including 1 battery backup. We were told by some of the competition that YSG would be slow to work with due to how many new customers they have. Well they were wrong. Every step of the way they answered my many questions. Changed plans multiple times to my (cough, my wife's) preference. Were quick to get permits approved and install happened within a month of starting the process.

The install team was incredibly professional and quick. The install took one day and I was well informed on what was being installed where it was and why it was being installed. The electrician gave me his number and when I texted some concerns a day later he replied promptly with helpful information. The system looks incredible and I already have many neighbors asking about it.

I would recommend to anyone interested in going solar. Our system was installed June of this year and not only does it cover 100% of our usage, we also have over a hundred dollar credit. Can't wait to see how our account looks after next summer.

I don't actually think I've ever dealt with a less competent company. The odd thing is, their incompetence is almost equally matched with arrogance and rudeness. I ordered solar from YSG in July of 2019. It was an entire Brooklyn roof of panels. 26 panels, about 26k for the entire install, before rebates etc. It's now February, 2021 and YSG still hasn't completed the work. They've missed or broken dozens and dozens of appointments and promises.

I literally have been calling, emailing, screaming and fighting with this company for almost two years. I've seen employee after employee leave, disgusted with having to work for this company. The boss, one David Magid, won't answer customers personally at any level. He hides behind his staff, letting them take the heat. YSG is a freak show. Literally one of the most regrettable choices I ever made. I feel like a hostage.

We did our homework for about 2 years and finally decided to go with YSG Solar. From the initial consultation with a very knowledgeable salesman to turning on the system everything is made very clear to us and we knew what to expect next. We loved the fact that YSG uses their own installation crews which other companies subcontract out and the parts we went with are American made.

We have family and friends that wish they would have went with YSG after their horror stories with other solar companies. We had our system installed Nov 2019 and have already accumulated around 1000 extra kwh in the last year, on top of covering our entire $320/month Coned bill. We are supremely pleased and would hire again.

Read any negative review on Yelp. It is the truth. Anything positive must be a lie. DO NOT hire this company. David Magid is a charlatan. They never finished the job. Never bothered to finish any of the paperwork at the building department. It's been 2 years of trying to resolve the issues. They are such horrible people They even blamed their incompetence on Covid 19. Deplorable.

Let me repeat again. DO NOT HIRE David Magid or any of his band of fools to do a solar project for you. YSG Solar is the worst possible choice you can make in your life. Beware! I Hate the fact that I have been forced to give a star.

I had my solar panels installed in Sept 2018 and shortly after we had some severe rain. I noticed a water spot on my son's bedroom ceiling and called YSG to come out and take a look and make sure I didn't have an issue with the installation. Two crew members were dispatched quickly and it turned out it had nothing to do with the installation. I found out my roofer took some shortcuts which caused the leak.

The crew was kind enough to offer and fix the issue while he was up on my roof as it was a quick fix. My system has been performing exactly on par with the original estimate given and my experience with YSG has been excellent.

I chose them because of the three I looked at, they seemed to have the most experience. Also, a fellow neighbor had used them and was pleased. I originally reached out while out of town for work and was unable to meet anyone at my home to get a quote. Within 48 hours, they sent me a detailed quote with financing options and a thorough tax credit breakdown.

While still out of town, I asked them to go to my property to perform the shade report to determine an accurate production estimate which they happily did. By the time I got back in town a month and a half later, installation was starting and was completed within about a week. So far, as of November 2019, my bill has consistently stayed under $50/month down from around $375/month. I would choose YSG again in a heartbeat.

We picked YSG Solar after talking with 2 other solar companies in our region. We are thankful we did. The sales process was very professional and they were honest about what the could and couldn't do. They completed the actual installation in 1 day and we and our neighbors were impressed with the collegiality of the workers. The finish product looks great and the price was fair. We would pick them again in a heartbeat.

Great team! Excellent customer service from start to finish. Extremely knowledgeable and honest. They answered all my questions and were very transparent about what to expect with timelines and dreaded, unpredictable Long Island permitting. I had an 8.68 kWh system installed by them in 2018 which covers 106% of my usage. They designed the system, acquired permits, and submitted the design to HOA for approval.

The installation was complete in one day, and the aesthetics are superb- including black frame panels to be within our HOA guidelines. The pricing is extremely competitive, if not the best out there with a savings of about $5k for us. They don't play games and overpromise like some other solar companies and we were happy to have American made products. You can't go wrong with YSG solar. I Highly recommend

The team at YSG solar was easy to work with for our system installed in Feb 2018. They made each step of the process easy from: generating the quote, the installation, the power company inspection and finally helping provide the tax forms and SRECs. All of their guys were pleasant and respectful of our property during the installation and got bonus points for not aggravating any of my neighbors during install of the system.

I would hire them again and recommend them to anyone considering solar power. We could fit enough panels to cover 85% of our usage and our bill went from around $400/month down to around $50 which includes the mandatory monthly $28 fee that Coned charges regardless of whether you have solar or not. I referred two of my coworkers to YSG in the last two years and they both have rave reviews of their systems as well.

I would highly recommend YSG SOLAR to anyone considering moving to solar energy. The company could not have been more thorough or professional. Every detail was explained prior to beginning the project, including what we could expect in tax rebates, how long it would take to see a return on our investment, and a full outline of the installation process.

The work was expertly managed and kept on schedule, if not a bit early. In just one month, our electricity has gone from close to $200 a month to $19 which is just the account fee Coned charges no matter what. Not to mention, YSG SOLAR supplied all the paperwork necessary for my tax rebates - nearly a total of $15,000. Even my accountant was impressed. I could not have been more pleased with their expertise and excellent customer service.

I could not be happier with YSG Solar. I decided to go with YSG in June 2017 because of their initial responsiveness: they were willing to educate me on the options and immediately signaled that they were a company I could trust, that would be responsive to my needs, that would communicate in a timely manner, and that could get the job done quickly and efficiently.

I was not disappointed. YSG quickly and effectively managed the permitting process with our local authorities, and despite complicating factors due to summer weather and distance to the site, we were able to schedule an initial site visit and installation much more rapidly than I expected, inside of about 45 days. They communicated regularly during the process and I always received a response within a day when I reached out with a question.

The system is now up and running and generating loads of electricity. We have not paid more than about $16 to Coned since 2017. I also think it's worth mentioning YSG's ethos as a company. YSG Solar is in this business for all the right reasons: they value the environment and are quite knowledgeable about the ever-developing options for renewable energy.

They have been in the biz longer than 95% of the other companies we spoke with early in our solar process. A small, family-oriented company, they also seem to have happy and empowered employees. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

One of the best things that I have done is get Solar System for my House, and I’m very happy that I’ve chosen YSG Solar company! The team is very knowledgeable and professional, from start to finish, and relationship continues even long after the install has been done. The system looks beautiful and performs better than expected and estimated. I’m glad that I did not have to cut any trees.

When I do something, I research the subject in depth and need to understand everything, and the team at YSG was very patient with me and provided many different options for install and equipment. We went with 36 Panasonic 325W panels, and SolarEdge, which shows me consumption and production. The system has been installed for about 2+ years, and we have a positive surplus of about 6,000kWh.

I talked with several different solar companies in my quest to go solar and from the first conversation, YSG Solar stood out. The sales rep was professional, knowledgeable, and kept my budget and concerns in mind from the start. There were no high pressure sales tactics or things of that nature; he wanted what was best for me. Throughout the process, YSG was quick to respond to any questions I had, and did a great job working with my HOA, which can sometimes be a pain with tons of hoops to jump through.

The install crew was fast and efficient, and completed the install in just a few hours. They even painted the conduit the same colors as the siding on my house! Aside from being great to work with, YSG also has the most competitive prices, which certainly helped! All in all, I'm thoroughly satisfied with YSG Solar, and highly recommend them.

Stay away. These people are crooks who took our money, put up the panels and never connected them for one full year. It was only through our repeated efforts and requests that they eventually re-installed them properly. And though they accepted complete responsibility and offered payment to amend the situation, we have yet to receive compensation and will undoubtedly wind up in court. They are frauds. Do yourself a favor and find honest people looking to do good for the environment.

Best experience with a company I have ever had!!! Did everything over phone and email with ZERO sales pitch. After dealing with several other companies that was a welcomed approach. They took the lead with educating my HOA on the current laws and providing any and all requests for information. My HOA is now in the process of updating their laws. Their knowledge and professionalism is top notch.

They had my 31 panel system up in less than 8 hours and took the time to answer the myriad of questions I threw at them. All with a smile on their faces!! I HIGHLY recommend this company. You will not be disappointed. Thank You YSG Solar.

I had a great experience working with YSG Solar. Everyone I dealt with was very friendly and helpful. The project manager I worked with answered every question from start to finish and I truly felt like he was always listening/looking out for my best interests. He ended up being the installer too, which made the communication and trust that much much better throughout the entire process.

I've been lucky to have had some really good experiences with contractors, but YSG Solar has been the best with their responsiveness to my incessant questions, thoroughness, professionalism, and genuine care for my best interests. With regards to cost, they are very competitive with other companies out there. The only negative thing I could say is that there was an unexpected charge to upgrade our electric panel which wasn't found until RG&E came to do the final inspection. Not YSG's fault as RG&E has their own rules, although I just would've rather known before hand.

The Sales Manager at YSG presented a well balanced project proposal and the equipment was top of the line. I had gotten several quotes and YSG's stood out the most based on price and included warranties. I have started referring them to my neighbors and heard good things from them as well.

YSG did a great job on my solar system. My wife and I went back and forth for almost a year before finally pulling the trigger. By the time we pulled the trigger our bill was up to $350 per month. After having our system for a few months we got our bill down to $56. Couldn't recommend more. Although I did take one star off as an unexpected expense of $300 came up during the electrical inspection which we weren't expecting, but our house is old so it wasn't YSG's fault and they guided me through it.

DO NOT USE this company! My contract is NOT UP YET and they will not call me back. Read all the other negative Yelp reviews on YSG. All the same, once they get you to sign with them, they will answer you in the beginning. Then good luck towards the middle and the end of your contract, NO PHONES CALLS BACK! If they post a response back on Yelp, they LIE.

For one month, I reached out to them and still no return phone call. What company does that? They emailed me back and said my contract was up. LIE! If they post a copy of my contract showing it expired, it will be a LIE! It expires September 10, 2020. I now have to pay another company to check my panels due to a two high PSEG bills. This is a huge investment on your home, don't make the mistake like myself and all the other people on Yelp.

This has been so frustrating the amount of time you waste, it's like a second job. It's such an insult the way you are ignored by them. Save the stress of owning solar and find another company. READ ALL REVIEWS FIRST ON YSG!

The guys at YSG are extremely thorough and knowledgeable. I had numerous questions and apprehensions before signing up and they walked me through everything no matter how annoying I probably was. I did have a hiccup with National Grid but it wasn't due to any YSG errors and YSG handled it perfectly. My system was up within a few months of signing up. Would highly recommend

I spent probably a good year going back and forth between a few companies looking for the best option. I called countless past customers for their experience etc before finally deciding to go with YSG. My neighbor had used YSG and had nothing but good things to say so I figured why not and gave it a shot. For a guy on the younger side, the owner really knows his stuff.

He spent I'd say probably a collective 5 hours over the course of a few months answering my MANY calls and many emails. I feel like these days it's not typical to get the actual owner of a company on the phone but he made me feel comfortable like I was one of his guys and wasn't putting him out. The job itself took about a week. Everyone cleaned up after themselves.

One thing I do want to say is there was a small hiccup that delayed the guys from finishing for an extra day but the crew handled it like champs. We've also had to do one warranty claim in the last year the system has been installed from rats chewing through a wire, and again his crew handled it like champs. If I ever get my dream vacation house I'll be calling up YSG to install solar for me again.

After researching several of the top solar companies in our area we went with YSG Solar and we are glad we did. The project proceeded just as the sales rep explained it would and the cost was exactly what the written proposal said it would be. We were notified all along the way by email at each step. Getting the funding for the system was easy and painless. all done electronically and guided by YSG.

When it was time for our install we were notified that there was a shortage of our selected panels so they upgraded us at NO Charge to us to the next highest rated panel which produces more energy per panel. The install continued on schedule. On install day, the installers arrived on time and began work. I was very impressed with the workers and how quickly and efficiently they installed the panels.

Once completed and the inspection was done it did take a few days longer than necessary to get the paperwork transferred to Coned but once it was done the next day we got the OK from Coned to turn it on. It's been working perfectly since then. We went live 10/5/20 and just recently got our first bill since the install from Coned and the result is our electric bill was 9 cents for October.

For sept we paid $143 electric and for august we paid $166 for electric before our system was producing. So this means we have already saved over $150/month so far and our system wasn't even activated for the highest producing summer months yet. Can't wait to see what our system does next summer. Super satisfied with YSG Solar.

I could not be more satisfied with YSG Solar. From start to finish they were professional. From the initial consultation, without knowing what to expect, they explained everything in details. It was truly a no-brainer decision to get solar based on how much it will cost me and how much I will recoup that and how much I'll save beyond that. They took care of ALL the paperwork, explain the loan options, tax benefits, etc.

They came, they installed, clean up after themselves. My main concern was what kind of damage is done to my roof. 3 years later, no issue. My electric bill is now about $20, the cost of hooking up to the grid. I even bought a Nissan LEAF. My intention was just to save myself some $$$, but I'm so happy that I'm doing my part to save the planet and feel really good about it. All thanks to YSG Solar. And yes, they have helped me get the paper work needed to file my taxes and claimed my refund

YSG Solar takes you step by step with your solar paneling installation. Not all homes are solar panel ready, and YSG Solar will tell you honestly if your home is suited for this installation. Phone calls and e-mails are responded to quickly. Even after the job is done and you see the savings they are still there to answer questions you may have.

I really like to apologize for misunderstanding YSG. Due to very slow process I was very frustrated seeing the functional systems with several friends houses who even initiated the process much later and consequently expressed on my earlier review. However I was convinced by their recent explanation for the delay to complete the inspection for interconnection. I was told that my case is the top of the list for inspection. Hope it will be done accordingly!

YSG I stalled my system over 4 years ago...from day one they were great.they helped us through all steps.we have never had issues with our system and love how we are saving on our bills.(having 5 teens alone)having the system is big.we purchased our system,we will not ever let a company rent my roof.lease to me just was not happening.if you are looking to purchase your Solar..then look no further then YSG. ASK FOR DAVID

After getting quote from a handful of Solar companies I chose YSG because they offered the best prices and were the most transparent as far as financing, installation, and the products that would be part of the system. Also I was never pressured into decisions, credit checks, or contract unlike all other companies out there. I worked with Kenneth who is fantastic sales guy to work with and always follows up on your questions, picking up your calls, follows up on emails, and comes through on all of the promises made. I'm now referring other friends and family to contact Ken for their solar needs and you should too.

I had YSG Solar install my solar system 4 years ago and it was quick, and easy. YSG handled all aspects from analysis, permits, installation and finance so it was seamless

This company is TERRIBLE and David, the manager doesn't care and knows NOTHING about customer service and the value of money. For a system that cost over $20,000, a year later, and my solar is still not connecting and I'm being charged my regular billing by Con Edison. After endless calls and emails, Raymond, Mary and everyone else in the office, is only focusing on the new customers, not ensuring that existing customers systems are up and running.

They go days, weeks and even a month without a follow up or return call. Also, forget your credits and tax documents being done on time. I'm reporting this company to the IRS as well, because I'm sure I'm not the only one, but $20,000 is ALOT of money. I've never done reviews on companies, but this company is on another level of ripoff.

From the first time I contacted YSG I was impressed. The knowledge and professionalism in all aspects of the job were great. The installation was on time and clean. The system is up and working as I expected. Any questions I had were all answered promptly. It is not often you meet a good reliable company.

I've been very happy with YSG. When I researched getting a ground mount system, their price was comparable to a competitor, but they had a much better financing option. The installation was in winter, so they dug the 125'+ trench to tie where the system would be to the house ahead of the main install. Once they started the main construction, it was done in about 3 days.

Our utility company had to put in a new meter to track production and usage, as well. The monitoring software is very easy to use and helpful to track production, comparing month-to-month and year-to-year. The only issue we had was probably unlikely to hit most people. The Federal Tax Refund that helped with half the financing was "non-refundable", meaning, you must owe the taxes to get it back as a refund.

So 2 1/2 years in, we're still waiting on about $6k in tax credits. This isn't a YSG Solar issue, but it would have been better to know ahead of time. If you itemize your tax deductions and have more than the standard deduction, this might affect you. But overall, it was a great experience.

Before I installed my solar system I got estimates from every solar company I could find on the web. I decided to choose YSG solar for the following reasons, they're a local company, their price was the most reasonable, they were courteous, knowledgeable and more importantly they were very patient with me. It's been more than one year since I installed my solar system and I couldn't be happier. I got all my tax credits back and currently my system is producing much more electricity than expected because of the long and hot summer days. thanks YSG!

After looking into several solar companies, we decided to go with YSG and was glad we did. They took the time to answer every single question I had, and I never felt pressured to purchasing the solar unlike the other companies. The work they did was neat and on time. Upon completion of the solar, they followed up several times to see how the solar was performing and to make sure my electricity bill was correct. If your looking to add solar, definitely check out YSG.

Very professional and efficient. Thanks for all of your help. We ended up putting in a special part after the job to stop the snow coming down so fast in the winter. This has helped a lot even though our winter was mild. The internet monitor app is also neat. Thank you YSG!

Their customer service, especially after installation, was top notch! We only had a issue with my meter with LIPA. There was some miscommunication with how that worked. As soon as I mentioned an issue, they were on it. The converter box has a plug so when we have sun we can keep our fridge and a fan running. That is a very nice bonus feature.

Not only was everyone incredibly friendly, they were also very educated. My husband and I put panels on our house back in 2012. He wanted solar for a very long time. When we purchased our house we made sure it faced the right direction. YouSaveGreen installed solar panels for three of our neighbors.

Fantastic professional experience. We would recommend YSG. The application is great, it shows us the power we are making and using in our home. After meeting with several companies we signed up with YSG. Once we got started it was quick and easy.

Couldn't be happier. This company was very courteous, got the enphsae system installed. We can see all the solar panels from our computer. They used micro inverters that produce more power than I use, enough so that I am able to charge my electric car. Our electric bill since has never been over $50 a month. We got tax refunds in the first year!

We had solar installed back in 2015 by YouSaveGreen. The solar works great and our bill has not been above $50. We used to pay over $200! They energy audited our home during the first meeting. We had been impressed with all of the recommendations. He found out our air condition vents had been using more energy since they did not have a seal. This made sense since all of the vents are in our attic. Thanks for the wonderful job!

Adding voltaic panels to our home was a goal when we had lived out west. Arriving in New York we did not know if this would be worth it. We built our house with a perfect roof facing south. Our YSG solar panel experience has been great and we are the proud owners of a 5000 Watt panel system. YSG answered all of my questions and had been patient with us the entire time. I recommend them.

If solar panel construction was a baseball team, YSG would be the Yankees. I have never been this biggest baseball person but these guys are good. Our installation took place almost three years ago and the process was amazing. At first we had looked into solar and received so many calls. I had to put off the project for several months we just had been very turned off at first. YSG was the only company still followed up with us and took the time to explain how it works.

We received conflicting information from two of the other companies and it just gave us a bad feeling. My house is heated with electric so going solar seemed like a natural next step. The installer stayed at my house late until the job was done and came early the next day, the entire team was hard working and are passionate about solar panels. My electric bill after solar has been $20 each month.

Hard to believe more people are not going solar. If your thinking about it take the time and research the equipment. ( we went with Panasonic) Make sure you get quick mount flashing this is an item we did a lot of research about when we went solar. The roof was new and we had been concerned about water damage. YSG offers the longest warranty we found but we also had our roofer inspect the job after they finished. Everything is working just like they promised., thank you YSG!

Absolutely horrific experience. Had panels installed two years ago and still not receiving any benefits from it due to them placing the meter pan too high for NEC standards. They were advised of this and have still done nothing. Called to complain and was told someone would call me back in 24-48 hours. Horrible customer service. Been paying for a service that doesn’t even work and they don’t even do work up to code and have yet to fix it.

Electric bills have been reduced by 90% even when the A/C is at 68. We expect some months with credits when it cools off. System operates hands free and monitoring app is very cool. The information from the monitoring app can lag, we had to change the connection twice times. YSG took care of all the paperwork for us and we just had to sign!

We have been looking into solar power for a while and after comparing few companies we decided on YSG! From the moment we signed the contract they've been very quick and professional on every step. We got our panels installed just a few weeks after the contract. The inspection took two visits to get done. Pseg would not change my meter since I have a small dog in the yard.

We have had solar for few years now, and we reduced our electric bill significantly. He set up the monitoring system and we track our power every day since the activation. Amazing how easy it was to produce clean electricity, Thanks to the entire team!

My husband and I had 4 other companies come out to do the presentation on the solar panels. We were very impressed with the knowledge and professionalism before and after the installation. Once the job was done it took about 4-5 weeks to turn the system on since we have to wait for Conedison. This is was the one item I wish we could avoid but thats the electric company for you. YSG Solar has installed solar for several of my co workers and this is how we met them, Thanks again we really appreciate your help!

They were patient, informative and professional with me. I spoke with 4 other companies before deciding on YSG Solar. Very happy with the results aesthetically speaking as well as the incredible savings. I’ve already referred my neighbor and cousin. Thank you YSG!

Thank you Michael Michaels and YSG Solar! 1st in my neighborhood to have solar!

YSG delivered a soup to nuts package which helped take our house Off the Grid. The commercial grade panels combined with the battery system were exactly what I wanted & YSG made it happen. Big shoutout to Michael Michaels who is king with customer service & saw our project through from beginning to end.

I was most satisfied with the workmanship. It was excellent. Both of my neighbors have used them, and a friend of mine used them. I hand out their paperwork to anyone that's interested in saving money. I'd like to recognize my project manager, Ronald Conti, Justin, and Dave for their exceptional service.

I am very happy with the solar system! it is producing very nicely and will probably beet the annual estimate you gave me. Also it is a good thing we put the solar array off to the side like I wanted since hurricane Sandy took out the blade on my turbine and we had to get a crane up there and take it down to replace it - ugh. Solar is great no moving parts no maintenance - love it!

I had a 7kw solar system installed in July of 2012 by YSG and I'm thrilled with with the outcome, My first bill was under $20 and I have an inground pool and the pump that runs 12 hrs. a day, July and August were hot and the air conditioning ran just about every day all day. I have a large home with a lot of exterior motion and night lights and was amazed what my bill was.

I was most satisfied with the professionalism of everyone from YSG. I would like to recognize Dave for his exceptional service on my project.

YSG did everything they promised, even though they're from LI they used local professional contractors. We purchased our system and have NO electric bill!
