We wish to address several important matters concerning your account.
Firstly, we have advised you multiple times to remove the "Budget Billing" feature from your FPL account. Retaining this option may negate the solar credits that your system generates. It is important to emphasize that this issue is not related to our company, but rather pertains to your billing arrangement with ***. We strongly recommend that you contact FPL customer care to make the necessary adjustments.
Secondly, we have noted your claim regarding the tax credit that you did not receive. Please be advised that our company is not a certified tax professional service, and we cannot guarantee the acceptance of any tax credit. Our contract includes a tax disclaimer that outlines this limitation. As we do not have knowledge of the financial situations of our clients, we encourage you to consult with a qualified tax professional to ascertain your eligibility for the Federal 30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC).
Furthermore, we would like to highlight that you have applied for the incorrect tax credit. Specifically, you attempted to claim the commercial 40% Solar Tax Credit, which is not applicable to residential projects for the year 2024.
Should you have any further inquiries or require additional assistance, please feel free to contact us.

Solar panels installed this past year are not sufficient to create the energy needed to lower my bill as was promised. My salesman is no longer working for the company (he was very helpful). The manager that I was referred to was rude and hung up on me.Business Response

The solar system that was installed was specifically designed to meet the annual energy consumption requirements based on the previous 12 months of historical usage data. Upon activation, the solar panels immediately commenced supplying the energy needs of our client. Notably, her energy bills were fully offset even during peak usage months, such as September and October (please refer to the attached *** bill for details). Subsequent months also witnessed appropriate coverage by the solar system. Throughout this period, we received no communications or complaints from our client regarding insufficient energy production.
As indicated by our client during a conversation with our Vice President, the utilization of an electric pool and spa heater during the end of December and all of January led to increased energy consumption. It is important to note that the energy demands of electric pool heaters, which are required to maintain the temperature of a pool containing over ****** gallons of water, are substantial. If the pool heater is not in operation, the energy bill remains significantly lower, as demonstrated in the *** bill provided. We have also included images depicting the panel's energy production and long-term generation performance, showing no errors or downtime.
Additionally, we have provided a photograph of the client's roof, illustrating some shading from a tall **** that is affecting the solar panels. While our systems accounted for shading factors during initial design, we would like to emphasize that simple trimming could enhance energy production on sunnier days. We would also like to remind our client that we will conduct a performance audit of the system after two consecutive years. Should the solar system yield significantly lower energy production than our initial estimates suggested, we will install up to five additional solar panels at no extra cost to them.
We appreciate their business and look forward to providing service for their solar system over the next 25 years.

We purchased Solar Panels, at a hefty ******. These were installed in May 2024, with the promise that my FPL bill would be only the connection fee ranging from( *****), as the Panels on both sides of the house would produce enough Solar Power. the first 2 months my bill was *****, and since August of 2024 I've been paying over 180 per month, in some cases $250.00 to FPL, in addition to the Solar Panels which is another $300 per month. I've reached out several times, and to date I am still dealing with the same issue. I would like to have the panels removed, or for the company to come out and reinstall them, and figure out why this happening. I've had a meter installed which clearly says I am producing more than I am consuming, but clearly there is a problem. I would like either my money back for what I have paid so far, and they can come remove the Solar panels, or a solution to the problem.Business Response

This solar system was activated just before the hotter summer months and was purchased based on the customer's energy consumption over the previous 12 months. This means that the system is designed according to an average of usage over that year, accounting for both higher and lower energy usage periods. As a result, her first bill was lower since it was based on a regular month prior to any overage credits from the solar system adding up with FPL.
In a typical Florida year, a solar system generates and stores kilowatt-hour (kWh) credits with FPL during the cooler months. These credits are then used during the hotter months, helping to maintain lower bills throughout the year. We have explained this process to our customer multiple times.
Recently, we added an optional $500 monitoring component to her system at no extra cost, allowing her to track both her energy consumption and the energy production of her solar system. It's important for her to understand that this is how all solar systems are sized and function. We have not done anything to deceive or take advantage of her; the system simply needs to operate for a complete 12-month cycle to produce the expected results.

Solar system produces 48% of what they promised me it would produce. (I have hard data and paper work to prove this.) I purchased the system about a year ago and have been reaching out to them repeatedly for months asking them to help me get what I paid for. They are ignoring most emails and putting me off or telling me to keep waiting.Business Response

This complaint needs to be moved to the ******* branch of Affordable Solar Roof & Air. This is not a Florida customer. He is based out of the ******* region of ******
To help save time, we have uploaded the satellite images showing the progress of the "tree trimming" that the customer agreed to in order for the ********************** system to function correctly. In the contract uploaded to the BBB, line four of the special agreements section clearly states that the customer is responsible for trimming back any trees that would affect solar production. This was explicitly agreed upon before the purchase of the solar system.
To protect ourselves in the future, we included this clause in case the trees were not trimmed as required. The solar system was installed under very large trees, so significant trimming was necessary. Upon reviewing the provided photos, it is evident that the trees were not attended to for over a year. Eventually, only one side of the trees was trimmed, despite the customer knowing that all the trees on both sides of the house needed to be addressed.
Solar panels require sunlight to operate effectively. The customer understood this and chose to purchase the solar system with the knowledge that if he did not fulfill his part, the system would not function properly. Therefore, the trees were not trimmed adequately, leading to reduced system performance.
In summary, for the solar system to produce at the expected levels, the customer must fulfill his agreement and trim the trees on both sides of the house. Once this is completed, if the system still does not perform as proposed, we will take the necessary steps to assist the customer.Initial Complaint

I contracted with Affordable Solar to put up a carport with a solar array on top and install a Tesla battery wall. After I signed the contract in late August, an appointment was made to install a Tesla battery wall as the first step in early September. The electricians did not show up. A second appointment was made -supposedly for solar panel installation - on a ground mount solar array- which was NOT what I contracted for. They said they didnt have the permit for a carport and that was all they could do before my financing approval expired. I refused to have it installed. They then scheduled the installation of the Tesla battery wall a second time. Again no one showed up. I was told the installers went to the wrong address. They didnt call me or reschedule. At this point I had concerns about the companys ability to perform or follow through on anything. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was told hed call me at 10am the next morning. He, ******* ****, didnt call until 3p. and was full of excuses. He took no responsibility, had no integrity and made no attempt to resolve my concerns. I subsequently asked my salesperson, ********* *******, to have the owner, ****** *****, call me. I was told by ********* and several other employees, ****** ****,, Mr. ***** doesnt speak with customers. I called headquarters myself. Mr. ****** assistant, *******, (last name unknown) was also full of excuses and blamed the salesperson for the issues I experienced. He also said Mr. ***** doesnt speak with customers. He also said: We dont build carports. I would have had to approve that and I wouldnt have approved that. He proceeded to cancel the project rather than make things right. AVOID THIS COMPANY! They have no integrity. I feel like I dodged a bullet. Despite there being a 25 year warranty, if things went sideways after installation, there would have been no one responsible to make it right.Business Response

This project has been canceled at the request of the customer. We would like to clarify that our expertise lies solely in the construction of ground mounts for solar panel installations. We sincerely apologize for any confusion that may have arisen due to miscommunication during the project planning phase. Thank you for your understanding.Initial Complaint

We have made several attempts to assist you with your *** concern. South County Roofing pulled the permit and placed a lien on the property due to non-payment. It's important to clarify that ASRA did not file the lien as previously mentioned by you. Additionally, we did not submit the *** request since we did not handle the roof installation ourselves; we subcontracted that project to South County Roofing because the property was outside our installation range.
Currently, we find ourselves in the middle of this issue and would like to help resolve it. We have reached out to the *** multiple times, but it has been quite challenging to get in touch with them. We kindly ask that you initiate an email with your contact at the *** and include ***************************************** on the email chain to facilitate communication.

This is just another delay tactic by ASRA. The ************** can easily be reached during normal business hours at: ********* PROFESSIONAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, ************************************************************************************ **************** ************. And according to them, Affordable Solar has NOT made any attempt at contacting them. Furthermore, the ********* has already ruled that the roof was done without approval and is not the correct color and that must be replaced. And they are well aware of how to make contact with me. While it is unclear who was supposed submit the *** request, it was ********* ******* (**** sales representative) who, at the signing of the contract on 8/6/24 stated that they (****) would handle all permits and *** applications. And I signed a p.o.a allowing them to do so. It was also Christian who sent the subcontractor a text saying that they had *** approval when in fact they did not.As far as the lien for non-payment by the subcontractor. I paid Affordable Solar $7950.00 by personal check on 8/6/24. And according to the building permit, in block 5, indicates a value $5800.00 for the roof. I have paid as agreed until they (****) refused to fix damages to my property and both adjoining properties.
currently we are at the end of mediation. If **** truly wants to resolve this they have only one option: refund the $7950.00 so that I can hire another contractor to do the work correctly. And they must cancel the contract signed on 8/6/24. We are out of time. The *** is pressuring me to get the roof in compliance

I want to clarify some points regarding the recent discussions about the roof installation and the associated *** request. There may have been some misunderstandings stemming from conversations with our sales representative. To set the record straight, I would like to emphasize that **** does indeed pull permits for the work completed by our team. In this instance, South County Roofing was responsible for the installation of the roof, and they also initiated the necessary permits. Therefore, any requests directed to the *** would need to have been submitted by them as well. We acknowledge that there has been a lapse in communication regarding the *** request and agree that it has not been handled as it should have been. It is important to note that, at no point would anyone at **** have stated that the *** request was approved, as we were not privy to that information. We are uncertain as to why a new request for the roof replacement has not been submitted; it is typically a straightforward process to obtain the approval letter post-completion of the work. Its worth noting that this is not an uncommon issue for *** properties. The *** operates differently from government agencies, and we believe it should not be overly complicated to secure a re-roof approval letter.
Also, we have attached recent photographs of the completed roof for you to review. The color matches perfectly, and it appears significantly cleaner than some of the neighboring homes. If you examine the photo, you will notice that the neighbor two doors to the left has a roof that differs significantly in both color and style from what was installed by ************. We will continue to reach out to the *** using the contact information provided by the customer. While a conference call would be ideal, we are committed to resolving this matter as soon as possible. We have no intention of delaying the project, as we cannot fulfill our obligations until this issue is addressed. If a conference call can be arranged, please feel free to reach out to ******* at *************. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

First I would like to thank **** for providing the photo of the roof. That will clarify a lot. Because the neighbor two doors to the left that you mentioned is ****************. And that is the new approved shingle. And if that photo was more current, it would show that the neighbor to the right at **************** has just had a roof installed too which is the same color as 120 Mayfair. If you check your records, you will find that you (AFFORDABLE SOLAR ROOF & AIR) was the contractor there too.
The company seems confused about why a new request for the roof replacement hasnt been submitted post-completion. And the answer is simple. It has already been done and it was denied by the *********. Thats why the application is supposed to be done before the work is done.

I purchased a "critter guard" when our solar panels were installed, within a year they literally disintegrated and were useless, they came and replaced about 3/4 of it and never returned to complete the installation/ I have texted and called numerous times but they just give me a run around, they finally said they would come and remove it for free but not reimburse me for any of the money I paid for it. I asked for 1/2 of the $1000 we paid but they said they would remove it for free, since they don't offer the critter guard anymore.Business Response

I went solar to save money on electricity. Affordable Solar Roof and Air has cause me to pay more money. I am beginning to wonder if I made a mistake going solar or if I made a mistake choosing them for my solar project.According to the enphase energy reading, I'm producing more than enough energy to take care of all my power consumption, but someway somehow I'm still getting charged by **** for power every month. They attempted to explain some things to me but they just end up confusing me more, especially since the number that's reported on ****'s meter matches the number that's on the ** system. The math they were doing with me on the phone appeared to be made up. Even if it wasn't, I should in no way have to purchase 700 worth of KWH from LCEC in a 2 person household with solar on my roof that produces around 1300 KW for the month. If my solar is producing energy at a great rate, like they are claiming, there should be no reason for me to be paying LCEC anything except for that $25 customer rate. I'm very upset with them for putting me in a position where I have to pay LCEC for power, especially since I made it clear to them what my goal was from the very beginning. Between my loan payment and the **** monthly charges, I'm in a position where I'm now paying more money for power than before I went Solar Everything is reported automatically, I have no idea where he was getting his numbers from.Business Response

We have conducted an assessment of the customer's account and provided clarification regarding the proper functionality of her system, which is not only operational as expected but is also generating an excess of power. At the time of purchase, the customer had indicated the presence of out-of-country family members living in her residence, with the plan of their eventual relocation. While we are unsure whether this relocation has occurred, it is noteworthy that since the system's activation in March, it has exceeded anticipated power production by more than half. Consequently, the customer's bills are notably lower than her initial expectations at the time of enrollment. Attached herewith is the proposal that outlines her current expected billed usage, aligning closely with the initially projected figures. The customer's perplexity regarding the power production is unclear to us, as her bills have fallen below both our projections and her original agreement. The contract she entered clearly denotes "partial offset," a stipulation based on her expressed anticipation of reduced energy usage after her long-term visiting family members vacate her premises.
Our company has diligently upheld all aspects of the agreement with this customer, and we are of the firm belief that we have surpassed expectations with this project. We respectfully urge the customer to direct any future inquiries or concerns to our office.
We emphasize that lodging significant BBB complaints in the absence of any underlying issues could adversely impact our reputation.

I am rejecting this response because: they're not doing anything to help rectify the issue except make excuses. The people did leave my house, ASRA are welcome to inspect my house if they don't believe me. Like I stated before, Between my solar loan and my electricity bill, there's not much savings between the two combine. I am paying close to what I was paying before I went solar. I'm not seeing those savings they are claiming. It should also be noted I asked them to change the contract from partial offset to full offset they REFUSED. They told me that it could only be done by adding more panels. Why do I need to add more panels when per their own admission the solar I currently have is over performing? Why can't I get the full offset with those current panels? Why do I need to add more? I'm on the verge of getting city water, soon my water won't be connected to my electricity. I don't understand why I can't get the full kwh my solar produced. Why is it the only way to get it is to sit with management and buy more panels

My name is *****************************, I want to share my experience with Affordable Solar with my solar panel Company, I installed my system 2 years ago, At first everything went well, like any sale. They designed my system based on what I needed in my house. They made me three proposals, the last one they presented to me included a new air conditioning unit. I signed the last one under false pretenses, since they promised me that if I put in the new air conditioning unit, I wouldn't have to put in such a big system for my house. According to them, I needed a system that would cover 85% of my consumption, and the other 15% would be covered by the unit, since it was a super efficient air conditioning unit. That hasn't happened here. They promised me five more panels if I didn't meet my needs. I've been calling them, but they haven't answered that. I referred two clients to them because I understood that they were a serious company, All I want is for them to fulfill what they promised.Business Response

******************** purchased his solar system after living in his home for just one month. Typically, a solar system is designed to cover one or two years' worth of average power usage. Since our company has no way of determining ************************ energy consumption habits, the solar system was installed based on an assumed usage projection. The solar proposal from his purchase clearly states that this is an 83% usage offset system and includes the original 14 Seer HVAC unit. However, at ************************ request for a more efficient unit, we upgraded him to a 16 SEER unit for free, providing a $2500 discount to ensure customer satisfaction. Regarding the five free panels ******************** mentioned we owe him, this is part of our energy promise to our customers. After two consecutive years, we review the system's production and add up to 5 additional solar panels at no cost if the system produces less than the estimated 85% expected production. ************************ review period is in November of 2024. As a courtesy, we have already conducted a preliminary review of his system's production. From 7/1/23 to 7/31/24, the solar system produced over 100% of the estimated production, as reflected in the quote of the estimated production of ******kw and the actual production from his Enphase system monitor showing ******kw produced over 12 months. Therefore, at this time, no additional solar panels are needed. We kindly request ******************** to remove all of his negative reviews regarding this issue, as no issue actually exists. We look forward to helping ******************** in the future if needed.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:
1- They installed the air conditioning because they did not have the unit they had promised and in order to collect the money they installed that unit
2- If they were not sure of the system I needed, according to what they say, you usually have to wait approximately 2 years for that, then they should have told me that it was not the time and I would not install it
3- They made the consumption estimate and they told me that if I installed the air conditioning unit I would not need such a large system since the difference would be covered by the air conditioning, which was a lie.
4- They guaranteed me that according to their consumption estimate I would only have to pay the company's meter which would be $10 a month and so you have an idea my new consumption bill is 147 this month not counting the previous ones which have been more than $100 a month
4- The information I am telling you can be confirmed by both the saleswoman and the sales manager who are no longer working with the company due to similar problems with other clients, (contact the saleswoman and the sales manager if you need it)
6- I do not agree with what the company says.
5- I just want them to fulfill what they promised me which would be my 5 additional panels and I close the case

Well I had Solar panels installed 7/25/23 The salesman by the name of Phil S. at the time that we did the contract.My solar panels cost $33,000. The salesman told me that I was getting a credit from the IRS He stated that I was going to get $13,000 and he said I can keep it or send it to the company so it can go to the balance of $33,000 so my new balance would’ve been $20,000. So I went to do my taxes and my accountant said that is a credit towards my taxes not a credit Refund.He also said that if I keep it that in 1 year my bill would go up to $200 A month.He not only lie he deceive me he’s a good salesman but he lacks Honesty.I’ve send him lot’s of text and messages but he only answered 1 time and I’m still waiting for a phone call.He also told me I was going to pay $25.00 to FPL and so far I’ve pay more than that.Business Response

Regrettably, ASRA cannot assume responsibility for the determination of the tax credit's value provided by the IRS. The tax credit for the acquisition of solar panels stood at 30% of the total purchase cost. No individual at ASRA asserts to be a tax professional, and we do not provide tax guidance. It is the sole responsibility of each customer to ensure their eligibility for the federal tax credit when procuring solar panels. It is unfeasible for a sales representative to ascertain a customer's current taxable income and/or tax situation. Attached are the signed contract of this customer and a screenshot of our Tax Disclaimer as it appears on the contract. If there is anything else we can do to assist our customer going forward. We ask that they please call our office at 1(800)515-1254.
