SeeMore Solar Products

Batteries: The options available are the Tesla Powerwall, Generac PWRcell, and Enphase Ensemble. Each option is a home battery system designed to provide power in case of a power failure or when power output is low. This is achieved by storing the excess energy from the solar system.

 

Cardinal SolarPro: Solar panel fans that have automatic thermal control and fire safety switch; they’re corrosion resistant with no plastic and a 25-year warranty.

 

FAFCO CoolPV: Solar panels that utilize patented thermal technology to raise electrical output from 2% to 20%, giving 4x the power of traditional rooftops. The panels come with a 30-year performance guarantee.

 

Solar Pool Heater: Through patented technology, the panels transfer heat to the pool water to ensure comfortable swimming conditions. The panels have a 12-year limited warranty alongside a limited lifetime replacement warranty.

 

SunPower Equinox System: An all-in-one home solar system built by one company with 25 years guarantee. It distinguishes itself from the competition by highlighting how conventional solar systems have components from different brands put together that possess different warranties and fixes.

 

SeeMore Solar Costs

Majority of projects undertaken by the company cost below $5,000, and typically average at approximately $1,950. However, there is a recurrent complaint among customers of a “trip charge” when seeking assistance from the company, where that can cost over $100. Otherwise, in comparison to the competition, the costs for solar solutions are regarded as highly affordable.

 

SeeMore Solar Legitimacy

To begin with, SeeMore Solar is an insured and licensed Florida State Certified Solar Contractor: having been licensed since 2007 and their current license expiring in 2024.

  • SeeMore Solar possesses an A+ Rating from Better Business Bureau (BBB) with 2 publicly filed complaints in the last three years. The business does not have BBB Accreditation as of the time of writing.
  • According to BuildZoom (BZ), SeeMore Solar has verified licenses alongside inactive ones. The solar company has a BZ Score of 108 (Great); placing above 95% of Florida’s 191,428 solar contractors.

 

SeeMore Solar Maintenance

A number of customers report SeeMore Solar as having poor maintenance quality. Complaints surround panel leaks, the price of getting fixes, warranties not being honored but circumvented, and the length of time it takes for reported issues to be resolved.

 

 

The SeeMore Solar View (Conclusion)

The overall view on SeeMore Solar is mixed with customers either giving 5-star or 1-star feedback, very few fall in-between. The most recurrent complaints are about service charges for site visits and the length of time it takes to complete installations or handle reported issues.

Among frustrated customers, the major pain points concern the company’s timing, installation quality, and post-sales support. Given the mixed reception, prospective clients may have varying experiences when dealing with the business; one customer’s experience is not indicative of another’s experience.

However, given that the company has been around for four decades and completed over 2,000 projects in that time, customer experience is likely to vary greatly. Businesses such as BBB and BZ rank the company highly and majority of customers are satisfied ones.
