TriSmar Solar installed my solar panels 9/2022. Since then I have not see any difference on my electric bill as the solar production is very low. I have in contact with them back and forth as they don't acknowledge the issue. On June 3, 2024 they finally emailed stated that they updated the design and waiting for approval. My response to them is YES coz I been waiting this for so long. But disappointing enough, I thought that they will help alleviate the issue, they ended up wants to sell me more panels. On my contract they stated an estimated solar production per year but this is not met. The production is super low and I truly believe that they miscalculated the number of panels they installed.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.
Hello BBB,This has been their thing, they looks like they are trying to help but ended up selling more panels. Like I said from the very beginning, I agreed to all their troubleshooting, nothing was found faulty with the solar. The panels are not enough and I truly believed that they miscalculated production of a 12 panels solar.

Good afternoon, I have had trismart solar for the last 2 years. When I signed up with the them the sales person advised me that the solar panels were covered under warranty for physical damage. Their website claims the same thing. I had a hail storm come through my area and physically damaged one of my solar panels. I have tried to contact trismart via phone, but got no response. I've left several voicemails and still no response. I've received one email stating that the physical damage wasn't covered, that I would have to pay out of pocket for repair/replacement. I attempted to contact someone in customer service and advised them of what the sales person and website told me it was covered, but yet no response.Business Response

The sales tactics utilized by the salesman were false. They said they would pay the 1st years monthly payments and I have yet to see that promise. They also said that my value would go up and I cannot sell my house because of the solar. They installed the panels in locations that were not optimal just to get the sale and I have had a power bill every month.Business Response

On 11/27/23, I welcomed a Trismart sales person, ***, into my house to tell me about their solar product. I was on the fence about solar but *** then mentioned an electric company they partner with, *******, that pays 25 cents per KWH for energy produced by my solar panels while only charging 16.9 for energy used. Once I agreed to getting solar, he signed me up that day for the Chariot plan. With this plan and the number of panels I got, I should never have to pay an energy bill again. I got my first bill and I my energy bill was bigger than it was before I had solar because they had only bought my solar produced energy at less than 2 cents per KWH. I contacted *** and told him and he told me to signed up for a different plan and wait for 3 months to see if I could see the benefits of solar. I did that and was just as displeased as before because now I am paying about the same in energy as I was before AND have a solar payment. I let him know how unhappy I was and we went back an forth via email about me saying I was lied to about the plan and him telling me I should have gotten more solar panels (which doesn't make sense if I am trying to save money). Nothing happened with that conversation so I wrote a 1 star review. Trismart customer service then contacted me a few weeks later and asked me to explain what happened. I did and they apologized and told me that *** didn't even work for the company and offered to pay for two of my solar payments if I changed my 1 star review to a positive one. I agreed, updated my review and waited to hear back from them. After 10 days, I started to do my own investigating and saw ***** Linkedin profile shows he works at Trismart and his email is "@**************************". I told them I will no longer accept two solar payments since they are just lying to me AGAIN. I want some accountability for the lies they have told me and I want what I should have had based on what I was told about the energy company... NO ENERGY BILL.Business Response

After paying for new roof and solar my insurance was cancelled as they did not certify my panels or roof. To this day my roof is still not filed as certified and I overpaid. They say they escalate, however now they need to re roof in order to be insurance compliant. They do not care about the fact that Im paying for this, do not solve the issue,The roofing company contracted is a drug addict and did not comply with myself or ********** for hiring this company to do my roof. (Colt butcher) and has released him Bieber all these complaints on the roofing company are on file with Tri smart. Not only do I not have home insurance because of their negligence, they do not re roof and absorb the costs because they lack compassion to solve the issue. Even the CEO and VP OF OPERATIONS knows yet Ive waited 2 years paying them for something they cannot get into my insurance compliance I want out. I want all my money back.

The company has known about this since October of 2023. They have not addressed anything to resolve the matter. They are in breach of contract and have not been contacting me as I have to leave messages and notes and emails and they state the CEO AND VP OPERATIONS KNOWS and they still dont do anything! They say the same thing they replied in writing to BBB. I want out of this as I pay premiums lost coverage, dont have any documentation of new roof and WPI8 certified. They are non-compliant and Im paying for something I have no records of and they will not re roof the house as they know about colt butcher. All that they state is false. 2 yrs 8 months later they have not resolved the matter.

Since it will now be 2 years post construction of the roof NO inspector will make this possible as by law there has to be a post inspection by 6 months after completion.
i have sent this via email as well as verbally to ******* Del MAR and asked for her boss and he has never contacted me either.the only solution is to re-roof my house as this was your contractor and shady business dealings that has resulted in infractions of non compliance to my roof. June 1st of this year marks the start of hurricane season. As this roof does not exist, if damages are incurred I do not have insurance on this 2022 roof! Im positive your company will not pay up if a storm comes and its not registered WPI8 certified.
you need to re-roof. Period. I paid for a roof that doesnt exist on behalf of your company contractors ************ who never responded to my calls, texts, etc. and your company told me you have been in contact with him.

First was told would be done within a month. First part of install was done in Sept. 2022, then day after day and week after week, kept getting told they are working on it. Initial install was supposed to be solar panels, panel equipment and new indoor breaker box for the *****. They came back out in 2023 and installed an outdoor breaker box just for the solar panels. A new breaker box was added into the contract along with price(which they refuse to give me a copy). In July of 2023 they finally had someone come back out to finish the electrical box outside and had no power for over 36 hours. Told me they would refund for the food lost, but only paid for part of it, refused to pay for my lost medication in the fridge. I call at least 2-3 times weekly also because their system does not stay running and have been told multiple times they will have someone come out and no one ever shows up on the date and time given. They promised I would get money back from OGE because I would produce enough electricity to sell back to them and never pay for electricity through them. I pay them monthly plus my loan amount for these panels and a inside new breaker box that i never recieved.Business Response

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.
[Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.]Trismart did contact us, nothing has been resolved. They have asked us sign a NDA to receive the last of the money the owe us for our property loss in July of 2023. We just today finally got the problem with the invertor box shutting down fixed after months and months of calling and then saying they are sending someone out and no one ever came out. We still do not have a main panel upgrade they promised, and said that the panel they put outside is a main panel upgrade. Something that cost maybe $500 tops and I am paying $20000 extra for it. $20000 would rewire my *****. I want what we were promised, and not have to sign a NDA to receive the rest of what we are owed.
Regards,

I am writing to formally address the ongoing concerns raised by our customer, Mr. *****. Over the past several months, Mr. ***** has brought forth several issues, and I am providing a summary of the resolutions implemented by our team.
1. Power Outage Reimbursement: Initially, Mr. ***** contacted us following a power outage, seeking reimbursement for expenses incurred due to the disruption. On June 7, 2023, Mrs. ***** contacted us concerning lost power and subsequent inconveniences. We arranged accommodation by covering the cost of a hotel stay and reimbursed their food expenses for the affected night.
2. Food and Medicine Reimbursement: Mrs. ***** also requested reimbursement totaling $450 for food and medicine affected by the outage. We processed this reimbursement promptly to address their inconvenience.
3. Loan Payment Compensation: Recognizing the extended inconvenience caused, we compensated Mr. ***** with four months of loan payments amounting to $637.92 due to accrued expenses during the outage period.
4. Home Damage Assessment: Following reports of home expansion and related damages during the power outage, we dispatched a technician to conduct a thorough damage assessment, free of charge, to ascertain any power outage-related damages.
5. Electrical System Assessment and Repair: Mr. ***** reported ongoing issues with their electrical system, including frequent power downs and other concerns. Our team promptly assessed the system, identified the issues, and conducted necessary repairs to ensure optimal functionality.
6. Panel Installation Discrepancy: Addressing concerns regarding discrepancies between the contracted and installed number of panels, we communicated with Mr. ***** and offered compensation of $300 to rectify the difference.
The customer at this time has not brought forth any new concerns and we are pleased to inform we have found a resolution for this customer.
