Idahome Solar has made going solar pain free. Working with Josh, has been wonderful. He’s become a friend to our family.

Had an appointment set for 6/1/2022 @ 4pm, the guy showed up on time which is great. He seemed pretty knowledgeable about solar and answered my questions I had at the time. I told him I would require a few days so I could think it over, he would ask "what is holding me back?". That honestly shouldn't matter, if I want time, I should get time. He was supposed to contact me on 6/6/2022, but he never did. Maybe this is because I was looking at it as an investment, which he said "if you look at it that way, you probably won't get it." Another issue, they are not sure enough panels can be put on my roof with vents and other items. Why would I have a credit check ran if I don't even know if a sufficient system will be possible. That's a credit hit, while minor, for something that may or may not be possible. Maybe put in the legwork upfront and ensure the system is possible before trying for a contract and credit checks.

Yesterday my partner and son were aggressively cornered by one of your neighborhood door knocker sales people. They were outside playing, and this person approached my family and would not let them enter the house or stop with the high pressure sales pitch. It is unfortunate that you label yourself as an Idaho based company and employ these tactics. I find this unacceptable and if you are looking for a company to do solar with I would definitely do my research and work with someone else!

I had no idea how easy it was to have solar installed on my home. Lou, came up to me when I was working outside and I initially thought "What is this guy selling?" I invited him into my home; he explained everything about solar and how it will affect me and it was easy for me to understand. The only thing I didn't understand is why more people do not have solar on their homes as well? The investment will be well worth it. As the population in Idaho continues to grow, so too will the electric bills. Get Solar from Idahome Solar. Todd
