We had a very positive…
We had a very positive experience with Icon Solar. Their office staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. They worked with us to develop an installation that best served our needs. The installation crew (we had solar panels and electrical panel upgrade done on the same day) worked tirelessly and efficiently. Icon Solar also sent a dry wall mechanic to spruce up the wall where the larger electrical panel was installed. We really appreciated this thoughtful detail. We recommend Icon Solar highly. They were easy to work with, offered top-of-the-line products, and did an outstanding job.

Overall positive experience with Icon…
Overall positive experience with Icon Solar. We've had a 52 panel ground mount install for 2+ years and it's worked very well. We had some service needs due to a bad panel or two and the team @Icon has responded appropriately. They've worked with us and it's continued to be a good business relationship. Make sure to do your research and understand the contract stipulations and you'll be satisfied.

Had a fantastic experience with this company and the installation of our solar panels. They went above and beyond to guide us through this process and had solutions for all situations that arose. I highly recommend working with Iconsolar.

ICON Solar installed 36 solar…
ICON Solar installed 36 solar panels on our new house in October 2021; Duke Energy allowed the system to be activated in late January 2022, thus the system has been used for 10 months and 13 days, as of today, December 6, 2022.

As I look at the Enphase data on my phone, I can see that the system has generated over 14,100 kilowatt hours and that we have consumed 13,300 kilowatt hours. The system was designed to produce 1,350 kilowatt hours per month. What was promised to me regarding the energy it was projected to produce was correct.

Our house uses gas for the furnace, clothes dryer, stovetop and range. The electric usage includes multiple computers, TV's, two refrigerators, a freezer and a wine chiller, hot water production and keeping the summer inside temperature at 67 degrees for 3800 square feet of living space.

The garage has a mini split for heat and AC, and a charger for our electric car.

I cannot say 'Thank You' enough to the folks at ICON for leading us through the entire process of planning and installing this system for us. We have zero costs for our daily driving excursions, we enjoy the comforts of a cool house in August, and we can activate comfortable AC or heat in our garage.

After deducting the Federal tax incentive for the solar panels, and the tax incentive for the electric car we bought this year, this system will pay for itself in less than seven years.

Thanks to all the great people at ICON.

We were shopping for Solar, and ran across ICON. Sean was honest and awesome. Our system wouldn’t have been efficient due to trees surrounding our home, and we would’ve been lucky to hit 20 efficient use of our power. So we had to back out, but in the meantime, we’ve got companies telling us all sorts of things. If we move to a better location, I am calling Sean first. Thanks for the honesty and saving us from making a bad call that could have had a tremendous effect on our family.

Icon Solar did an amazing job with the solar installation on our house. It looks awesome and was significantly less expensive that the other companies that we had quote the job even though they use the same exact inverters and panels. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! I would absolutely recommend this company.
