Astrawatt Solar, Kansas City MO

My solar adventure started with requesting quotes from many companies in the area. Rhody Harris got back to me faster than any of the other companies, wasn't pushy, respected that I had done my research, and spent our time filling in the gaps in my knowledge about SOLAR instead of their COMPANY. He was trying to sell me on solar, even if I didn't end up going with them. You can tell he truly loves solar.

Astrawatt was super cost competitive, despite using the best technologies solar has to offer! The IQ8M microinverters and REC panels are top of the line. Many competitors tried to sell me on cheaper inverters and panels for the same price.

It also helped that they had the best loan options with no absurd fees. The loan I opted for was through Credit Human, which has simple and reasonable interest rates, comparable to personal loans. They also didn't try to sell me on using MACRS on a residential system in order to stay cost competitive.

After I was approved for the loan I was connected with Megan Hail, a project manager. She had wonderful communication and kept me in the loop the entire time.

A project coordinator, Desmond Poirier, came out to my house and took measurements of the roof with a drone and crawled up into my attic. I was able to supply him with engineering plans of the roof that I requested from my builder.

Megan continued to keep me updated as the engineering plans were approved by all of the required entities, and scheduled my install.

The Chris Roach and the other installers showed up before the materials and began checking things out. Once the materials arrived they cut a 3 day job into 2. They cleaned up after themselves and when they left you wouldn't have even known they were there!

My job was a small install from Astrawatt, from day one I was treated like my job was important. Reid asked me what I was wanting from a solar system and planned out a system for me To Megan who helped with financing and scheduling my project. Finally Chris and the installation crew came in and installed the system in six hours. Chris saved me money on a service panel. Once every was done Chris showed me how to work the app for the system and how to maintain the panels. Start to finish a first rate company.

Very professional installation crew. Chris, Jermane and the entire team were friendly, polite and clearly very experienced. Very neat job and they left everything clean.
Overall, an excellent experience!

Astrawatt Solar did an amazing job installing my solar array, battery back-up, and SPAN panel. Their great professional crew was timely, explained everything to us, and did a great job cleaning up at the end. Highly recommend.

The installers were great! They were unobtrusive and respectful of me and my property. The system is amazing! I’m expecting many years of power from my array and batteries.
I highly recommend Asrtawatt!

I've had my solar panel system for 8 months now. My Evergy bill is down by 70% and the panels are producing the energy I was promised. Also great installation by Wiring Electric in Wichita

The staff was awesome and very professional. Chris especially was knowledgeable and was very patient with educating us on the solar panel system.

From start to finish, a very thorough and professional job by this team.
Highly recommend their services for solar energy -

Astrawatt installed our solar panels.
At this point, we are awaiting Evergy‘s blessing to make them active.
The guys with Astrawatt were helpful, friendly, and communicative.

I appreciate their friendliness & enthusiasm for their work. I would work with them again & would recommend them to a friend.

The entire solar contract and install experience was great! Working with Matt on the sales team, he went above and beyond to support any issues I had and working with us to find the best financing option for my wife and I. He also explained the hardware and equipment that was going to be used and provided brochures for everything! He wasn't push, was very fun to talk to, not a pressuring sales person, and had some great "dad jokes". Their formal proposal had milestones with dates and activities that were clear and helped us understand all of the milestones of the project.

Megan on the project management team always kept us up to date on changes to the permitting, the status of project milestones, and city approvals of the project.

Jamie did a great job of letting us know the who, what, when, where of the install. He was present the first day of the install and attended the post install inspection with the local city official.

The install team did a great job! The panels are square to the roof, they were all polite, easy to work with, and very helpful when answering questions. They did a pretty good job of picking up any pieces of wire or scrap, they all wore their appropriate PPE, and they were extremely fast! The install was initially quoted at 2 days and they were a little quicker than that.

Again, I highly recommend Astrawatt for any solar installs! The people, the service, and the equipment are all top of the line!

Very impressed with the team that put up my residential solar panels, from sales to installation. Rhody in sales had to put in extra time working with the historical preservation office, (I basically did nothing) and he got it figured out. Justin and install team were professional and very neat. Lucky you, Astrawatt, to have such amazing employees!

Astrawatt Solar just finished installing our panels last week and we couldn't be more excited! Everything has been super easy, clear, and friendly from the first contact, all the way through installation. They were always very prompt and understanding with any questions or concerns that we may have had. I have already recommended them to friends and family.

Seldom have I experienced such professional service than I've had with Astrawatt Solar. Astrawatt did a great job installing my panels and quickly responded and resolved the few minor issues I experienced. The salesman, Bryan, was exceptional, very responsive, highly knowledgeable and always willing to thoroughly answer my questions and take care of my concerns. He frequently would record screencasts of himself answering questions and explaining things in detail, then he would email them to me. The financing options were especially confusing but Bryan recorded a video explaining them all in detail which I then shared with my husband. This was very helpful and a great business/selling practice. I felt that he was honest and up-front and didn't try to sell me a bigger system than I needed, unlike other solar companies I talked to. Some companies just tried to cram as many panels on my roof as they could which would have generated more power than I needed thus just causing me extra expense and to give all my extra power away to the utility company-ya, they would pay me a mere. 02 cents a Kw, but that doesn't come close to covering the cost of the extra panels. Astrawatt calculated the number of panels I would need to maximize my investment and meet my energy needs based off of my past usage; not so many that I would generate more power than I needed, and not so few that I would be pulling from the grid more than I should. I appreciate them looking out for my interests and doing what was best for me. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to add solar to their homes.

Highly recommend Astrawatt for solar panel installation in the Kanas City area.

Prior to starting the process, I read many on line horror stories with other national installers about pushy sales process, delays in installation, incorrect paperwork submission, and project managers ghosting customers. My experience with Astrawatt was the farthest from those experiences and was outstanding. As they only recommend the best equipment brands and models, may not be as cheap as some other companies but receive a superior product since this is a 25 year investment.

I received proposals from several other local installation companies as well. I had a focus on a local company that had a positive BBB rating, did the sales, project management, installation and service with no sub-contractors while having been in business for an extended period. Astrawatt fit those requirements, and their education first approach in the initial consultation showed their customer focus. At no time did my sales consultant Reid use any high pressure sales tactics, ensuring all my questions were answered and I was comfortable with my selection even, if I did not select them.

Once contract was signed, Megan the assigned project manager was very responsive, providing routine updates on the process and quickly answering all my many questions. All applications to the city and Evergy occurred in a timely and complete fashion, resulting in the installation being scheduled and performed slightly ahead of schedule.

The installation crew was very professional, completing the installation in 2 days as scheduled. Post installation inspection approval process was slightly delayed due to an overly picky city inspector (required updated engineering plans and resubmission for 1 panel that was re-oriented during install due to an obstruction). Astrawatt quickly updated the plans and resubmitted to the city which were approved and final inspection passed as quickly as the city's process allowed.

I hope not to move ever again, but if I did I would use Astrawatt again on my next solar install.

Our solar installation has been up for about four months now. Our latest Evergy bill was $7.40. Thank you to Astrawatt for having patience with my many, many questions. The professionalism of your Sales Rep, Rhody, your Manager, Project Manager, your Electricians, and your Installers was top notch. We tried to work with four companies before settling on Astrawatt, at a time were everyone and their cousin is trying to get into the solar gold rush. It truly came down to Astrawatt and only one other reputable company. The only feedback I might have is making it clearer how the inverters would produce versus the peak power of the panels and nominal conditions. Also, for weeks after the install, some screws, washers, and cables blew off the roof, but that's because it was ungodly windy on my install days. I'm sure the crew did everything they could to keep the site organized. Everything is working fine and I was impressed with how considerate and tidy the install crew was during that phase. I'll recommend people to Astrawatt for sure, and I'd encourage them to be patient with the process and to trust the team. We're very satisfied customers.

Great customer service and great install. These guys are the real deal in a sea of grifters. You should get a quote.
