    Pattern of Complaint:

    According to information in BBB files, Top Tier Solar Solutions, LLC has a pattern of customer complaints in the areas of sales and service issues.

    Specifically, at this time 70 out of 72 complaints (97%) allege that the consumer did not receive the savings advertised by the company due to either under-performing residential solar systems or non-functional systems in which the installation was not complete or powered on after an extended period. This pattern is also reflected within negative customer reviews on file with BBB - 36 out of 39 negative reviews (92%) reflect the same experiences as described in complaints. Complainants allege that they were sold their systems by high-pressure door-to-door sales staff and that in those in-home presentations, they felt the sales team misled them about how much savings they could expect from purchasing home solar and about how long the installation and inspection process would take. Many of these consumers report contacting the company numerous times about this and that while the company may be responsive to them, they believe the underlying issues remain unresolved.

    BBB contacted the company regarding this pattern of complaints by email on June 3, 2024. A formal response was received on June 17, 2024, and the business has agreed to work with BBB to resolve any possible underlying causes of the pattern of complaints.

      Status:
      Resolved
      On or around February 27, 2023, I entered an agreement with Top Tier Solar Solutions to provide solar panels for my personal home. During the process I provided them history of my power usage for them to determine the size of my solar system needed. They estimated I would consume ***** kWh in a year and therefore built a system estimated to produce ***** kWh. My system went active around September 2023. After several months of no changes in my electric, I began to bring this to their attention to review as well as investigate myself. I determiend they did not use my electric history, as my previous year consumption was closer to ****** kWh, and therefore did not provide and accuratly sized system and incorrect estimates. I have been in contact with them since about Jan 2024, and have not gotten any solutions or answer on how to correct the issue. When I call every month, they simply state they are "still reviewing". In the meantime, I am continuing to have a "normal" electric bill on top of the payments for the solar panels that were financed. In addition to poor communication, improper practices, and more, they caused damage to my home (craked the ceiling) that they have refused to assess or repair. I've also been made aware by previous employees of their unethical sales tactics, that I've fallen to. Such as scamming me into their alarm monitoring under the guide that it would lower my homeowners insurace and that I could cancel if it did not. So in additiona to paying for the solar panels, I am now in a ********************************************************* wanted.

      I want to caution anyone considering working with this company this team uses predatory sales practices. If anyone from this company comes to your door, be sure to do your OWN research BEFORE sitting down with their salespeople. I have a full review of my experience on ****** for their *******, ** location since I'm in **, but I'm leaving a summary of my experience in hopes this review can help other people avoid being taken advantage of by this company. I encourage people to read the BBB's current alert for this company - ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** - salesperson had only general statements on how the process works and focused exclusively on how much I can save by switching to solar - not specific information on how the system works or how long this entire process works. If I asked for specific information, I was told that it'd be in my project proposal...which turns out to be signing a LOAN AGREEMENT. - salesperson and project manager both downplay the loan agreement that they pushed me to sign, saying that it's for the pre approval process / "It is not a contract just information for them to have on file" - unknown if this is gross incompetence of what they're pushing or deliberate attempt to mislead consumer
