We have had a solar panel system with backup batteries for several years. One of the panels stopped working and Elevation replaced it 6/18/2024 and the tech said he needed to come back and add "barrels". On 6/20/2024 the entire system ceased to function and the three areas that were on the back up batteries now are running off extension cords. We have called several times and were told someone would be down to fix it today, 7/3/2024. The tech appeared, took his lunch time and put the barrels on, then stated that's what he was sent here to do and not anything else. Not a single thing has been repaired. The system is still not functioning. We are in the best time of year for solar generation and getting no return on our investment. Elevation is disappointing again.Business response

On 9/3/2022 we paid Elevation Solar $1,050 for bird stop that was to be included in a solar installation where we had a contract with Elevation Solar. They couldnt install the solar to meet the specs we needed and therefore, Elevation cancelled our contract in March of 2023. They never installed the solar panels and after numerous attempts to get our $1,050 back through emails and phone calls, we have been unsuccessful in getting our money back.Business response

I bought the solar system and roof repair in August 2021. The experience was a complete nightmare. They redid the roof three times before the system was installed. Now I got a notice it is offline and Im getting water damage in my house from the leaky roof. It should be under the roof penetration warranty but **************** said they couldnt send anyone for a month. The day comes and the tech wont show up. Unfortunately this nightmare continues. I want the roof repaired and water damage fixed.Business response

Although the company sent out a tech to inspect the solar installation, they told me they need to send out a roofing subcontractor for another inspection which could be another week. It still feels like its just talk to delay the complaint timeframe like they did in the past. There has not been a resolution to the issue of repairing the roof and reinstalling the solar system yet, so I cant accept this as resolved.Business response
05/16/2024
We are glad that the issue is on its way to be resolved - we are aware that items are still pending. From the notes shared by our Service agents its seems that there is still existing warranty from the roofers that went out to the customer home previously, thus we have requested the roofing company to go back out to the home to assess the site. The roofer is to contact the customer.Initial Complaint

On January 26, 2024 I signed a contract with Elevation Solar to expand the size of my solar system on my house at 3120 Reverence Heights Ln and additionally to install an exterior 220 outlet for my EV Car, the contract was signed with **** who has been excellent. The issues come with ******************* the Project Manager who has been horrible, there has been a delayed on the approval of the interconnection because he never sent the correct documents for us to signed when ****** Energy requested the documents to be signed by my wife (On March 12 was the first notification from ****** Energy, but he never sent the dicuments to be signed by my wife, so ****** Energy sent another notification on March 26, both notifications were provided to Jkse *****) I spent all this money on the solar panels on January 26 and today is April 7th 2024 and still I cant use the Solar Pabels. Even my original system I cant see hiw its working because they disconnected the app that reviews hiw the system is working. Additionally elevatiin workers when installing the additional system, they created some big holes on the exterior stucco of my house, they did a horrible repair whi h I have on pictures and provide them to BBB.Business response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us regarding the expansion of your system with us. We are disappointed that you have had issues arising in the project thus far and apologize for the inconvenience. We'd like to address the concerns you raised and the steps to follow from this.
Project Coordinator (Manager): Our ********************* has removed the previous Project Coordinator (Project Manager) from your account and has appointed a different coordinator to assist. We would like to clarify though that the previous coordinator nor the one currently assigned to you can send the documentation to utility companies for the Interconnection. During this process signatures that are required will go to any email address on file with the respective utility company and the Project Coordinators cannot edit this unless it is done through a formal request to utility companies through a formal request via email. The previous coordinator has received coaching from their leadership.
System Shut Off: As your system is being expanded, the installed system will need to be turned off as it is inspected by your jurisdiction, and utility company. This is a process that the sales representative should have explained.
Stucco Repair: We note that we have sent our NV Field Supervisor out to your home and started the repairs per your request. We are aware that it is not complete but there is a tentative return date to complete the stucco repairs, as well as additional electrical work discussed directly with the Field Supervisor.
Again, we appreciate the time you took to share your experience with us. We hope that the information shared can shed some light on the situation and the process that we follow.
Please let us know if anything else is needed.
