The installers were extremely professional and most importantly they arrived on time and completed the job. Tough to find those attributes in today's environment. The installation was done very neatly and it looks great. National Grid swapped out meter in two days. Communication was excellent as well. Producing KWH's - YEA.

I love my system that solar liberty! They are the best price around and very professional! From the beginning to the end it went great, Ryan answered all my questions in the beginning and set up a video call to show me about the solar system and the prices. They are flexible with all your questions and concerns and open to changes. They provided all paperwork over email and handles are paperwork for city and county.
The install went great, everyone is friendly and will answer any questions that you have. My system was turned on a week after and my bill has went from 120 to 20 dollars already!

Solar liberty is by far one of the best solar installers in Western New York. I highly recommend anyone looking to go solar for their home or business to give them a call. They are very responsive to questions and concerns. They do a phenomenal job with their installs using quality products and have very reasonable prices compared to their competitors.

I had a a really good experience with Solar Liberty. They are highly professional and very well priced. Initially I was going to go with Tesla because they really did have the cheapest prices but I am so glad I paid a little more and went with a local company. Amy, my representative at Solar Liberty was excellent. I have no hesitation and recommending them to other people. Using the right company to get solar is extremely important and so I would advise any potential homeowners who want solar to really check into the company they are using.

I just turned on my new solar system from solar liberty, what a wonderful sight to see the meter go backwards! The experience has been great with the entire staff at Solar Liberty, they guided me along the whole process and very flexible with my ever changing installation date. The installation on the roof and in the basement looks great excited to have a great system generating power for many years to come.

Solar Liberty is the way to go with solar. From my first phone call to my last email, they made the process so easy, all i had to do was watch them work. They did everything, plus some, from making sure the house will hold the panels, to connecting to my existing array. I would not think about any other company, and with the 5 yr labor, and 25 yr parts warranty, how can you go wrong. I have already talked to some friends, and they are looking into solar.

We got a solar panel installation from Solar Liberty after hearing about them from our neighbors, who had one of their systems. After checking out the references, we were pretty comfortable with the vendor. After we ran the numbers by our financial planner, we are looking at a nine year ROI. Considering the 25 year warranty on the panels, it seemed like a very good deal.
Their work was super professional. A local project manager was in charge of the installation, and it went up in a couple days, even in inclement weather. Permits and inspections were done at various stages before and after the job was completed. Overall, we are very happy with Solar Liberty, and have recommended them to several friends.

Solar Liberty did a exceptional job on my solar system. The used high quality efficient components. I have 45 Sun Power panels with an 11 kW SolarEdge system. I can monitor the performance of each panel and they all working great. The array is oversized by 5% and the inverter limits the output on rare occasions. The electrical inspector loves Solar Liberty because they follow all the rules and layout the components to easily observe.
It has been working for 4 years, meeting 60% of my electrical load, which is better performance than estimates. I did have an inverter failure, which was promptly replaced. Solar Liberty was very responsive.

As an environmentalist, I always wanted solar panels but thought I could never afford them on my modest budget. After a friend had Solar Liberty install panels on her home, I decided to check them out. They evaluated my home and energy needs, proposed a system I could afford, and answered all of my questions. They took care of acquiring grant funding and helped me take advantage of the tax incentives, helped me arrange financing for the small portion of the cost that remained, and they even applied for the necessary permits.
They were adaptive and patient with us during construction delays that preceded the installation. When it was finally time for the panels to be installed, they were clean, courteous, and efficient. I am so happy with my decision to put solar panels on my home and am delighted with Solar Liberty and their entire staff. This has been a great experience. I would encourage everyone to see what Solar Liberty can do for them!

I just had a ground mounted solar electric system installed by Solar Liberty. I have to say EVERYONE I dealt with from start to finish was great. Any questions we had were all answered and the installation was fast! The tax savings you get from installing a system like this make it very attractive for anyone who plans to stay in your house for a while.
The tax money I will get back amounts to MORE THAN HALF of what I had to pay for the system. You can use that money to pay towards the system or anything you want! Once the system is paid off, you only owe National Grid or whatever electric supplier you have A LITTLE OVER $18 A MONTH FOREVER! Great way for us to cut our bills in retirement. Thanks Solar Liberty!
