Kasselman Solar, Poughkeepsie NY

Kasselman Solar was top notch from start to finish. David Kowalsky, my Pv Design Engineer was a pleasure to work with. He was on top of everything. The quality of the product and the installation is 10 out of 10. My system is 8.3 kw and has cut my utility bill in half.

I went to three different providers before choosing and commiting to KS. Kasselman Solar (most specifically David Kowalsky) took his time to go over design, pros and cons, advantages, tax incentives, etc. They take the installation from end to end. Including permit and utility company integration. So in other words, you put the roof and they take care of the rest for you. Speaking of roof, did I mention my Roof wasn't new and in it's last licks and they also took care of that too. Definitely pleased with their service and I am already looking at credits with my Electricity Bill. What's not to like?

David Kowalsky of Kasselman designed a System for me last year.
We had some worries getting the permits with the local DOB due to COVID. But the system was installed late in December 2020, just in time to include it when I filed my taxes and claimed my Tax Credits.

Winter's shortened days did not generate much power but by March my Utility bill showed me with a surplus. I have become very aware of sun these days, checking the 'mySolar Edge' AP frequently to see how its doing.

Thanks also to the Installation crew, my 14 panels were installed in one day (and December's days are short ones). Nick Coveney and the remote support were also great. When I had questions or concerns they were always quick to respond.

I already knew the Kasselman name as Electrical contractors on projects I have done in the Albany and Kingston areas. Initially I was afraid to use them in Northern Westchester, but their new Poughkeepsie is much closer to my home.

I would definitely recommend Kasselman.

We installed solar from Kasselman in Jan and can't expect any better service. We compared prices across many vendors and no one can beat them even close.

Kassleman was great. Their team was responsive, kept me updated, profession, and quick to do their work.

The team at Kasselman were great right from the Start. I used a 3rd Party to get recommended Solar specialty firms in our Capital District area that were 4 out of 5 stars or better. Kasselman was listed, doing some research of my own I found that several of my friends had friends that had used them, and were completely satisfied with their work.

I went to their website and put in a rough description of my needs and the desire to have them come out for an appraisal of our property. I was to say surprised to get a response within 10 minutes and an appointment because of Covid was done virtually online.

After a couple of conversations with their designer Michael White a system was set arrangements to set up payments via online with Steven Clemens and pricing discussed and agreed upon dates were set and we needed only to await the weather breaking in early Spring.

Well my systems parts all arrived early so Shannon Hartz called and gave my wife and I the opportunity to have our system installed the following Monday if it was convenient for us. It was and she quickly coordinated the process getting the staffing need to our home to complete our system before a storm arrived.

In short our system was completed in just under one day by what amounted to two crews working in tandem to beat Mother Nature. We need only the inspections by their installation inspector and one by National Grid and we will be Solar Powered!

Kasselman is a great group, and a well oiled machine when their working. They all wore masks for Covid and the cold and our installation went off without an issue. I highly recommend them and if they ask, I would greatfully show our system to their potential client.

Respectfully,

~~~ Followup ~~~

We have had our panels up and online now for 4.5 months. We have paid for zero electricity only a $16.85 connection fee for the last 4 months while running of whole house electric AC whenever the outside air temperature is 78 degrees or more. We have generated enough “extra power” to have built up a credit of 4x our monthly average usage prior to the panels which should cover our electric costs when the panels are covered with snow.

So given the decision on yes or no to solar, it’s a definitely yes, and the installation definitely Kasselmann!

Communication was direct and timely. Installation went as planned with good coordination between Propane supplier for final connections. I’m very pleased with final result.

Kasselman solar is amazing start to finish. I had been considering solar for our new home. I went online and did some research. A few days later an ad pops up for Kasselman and i look into and inquire about more info. Not 20 minutes goes by and i recieve a call.super friendly full of info. I agree to a zoom consultation after giving some basic info on usage location so on. Zoom call starts. Bam they have everything laid out super plain english answer questions with ease break it down. Amazing! Agree quickly affer to move forward. Evdry step is laid out by the project manager. Right down to financing and how to get the most grants and assistance possible.

Impressed if i decide to add on i will use kasselman for sure!

From our sales rep, David, to our PM, Alex, and to all the stellar guys who installed our panels, Kasselman Solar was consistently professional, friendly, communicative, and on time. We researched a lot of companies before choosing Kasselman, and I feel GREAT about our choice. Thanks again!

I had a solar system installed in July 2020 and I love it! Installation was fast and I produce enough electricity for all my needs including an electric car.

When I started to shop for our long term solar investment we were looking for a reliable honest and reputable company- Kasselman and the entire team met our expectations and beyond. The sale process by David Kowalsky was smooth. David provided great details and was knowledgeable about the product. The next step in the process was the actual commitment and getting to know our project manager, Alex Martin. Alex has been very professional and attentive throughout this process. Alex has gone above and beyond, providing not only superb customer service but continuance updates and following up with all documentation and details of the process. Alex really listens to his clients and provides reasonable accommodations when asked. I was very appreciative about certain design questions and Alex went the extra mile to make my wife and I very comfortable with this process. The installation crew was extremely knowledgeable and professional. The craftsmanship and attention to customers expectations and details is beyond impressive. Our installation is top notch and impeccable. It’s not only very clean.it is seemingly discreet and functional. I would like to thank the Kasselman family! I really feel like this company - seems like a big family and all employees are very happy and speak highly about their employer. There is something to be said about this! It clearly comes across in every interaction I have experienced during this process. I highly recommend this company and look forward to the superb customer support of my system. Keep up the good work ALL!

From first call to final inspection, the Kasselman team was prompt, informative, and entirely professional. Obviously, installing solar panels is quite an investment of time and money. We had three companies give quotes and Kasselman beat the others by a mile on cost. The project manager, Alex, was proactive in communication. With current state incentives, a lot of the cost hurdle is easily overcome. Highly recommend.

Dear Kasselman Solar,

About 3 weeks ago, I began soliciting information about solar panels. After a number of responses, it was easy for me to narrow down my options after brief interactions with the various reps who responded.
The most important information for you to be aware of is the professionalism, knowledge, and patience your sales rep, Michael White demonstrates consistently. Over several more conversations, I narrowed it down to two companies, yours and *******.
It is important for you to know, ****** was the company my father had used for his panel installation only 18 months ago. Most people would think since he had a great experience, I would ultimately choose his company. Michael knew what he was up against and probably felt the same would occur. Nevertheless, this didn't deter him. He met with me at my home, did a thorough analysis, was honest and thorough in his findings, and even during a hot, humid day, sat outside with me for over 90 minutes discussing the project in its entirety.
He then followed up within 24 hours with several thoughtful proposals in response to my concerns. Michael has by far exceed my expectations. He has listened carefully to my concerns. He has answered numerous questions with clarity for me. And above all, he has made me want to conduct business with your company. If this project was an easy, 1,2,3, decision, Michael would have had my signature a week ago.
I wanted to take the time to acknowledge his stellar work ethic as it is much more valuable to an employer than any one contracted agreement.

System was installed September of 2019 and is excellent. I called last week to Kasselman and explained that I was experiencing issues with the inverter. They came within 3 days and replaced it. I cannot expressed my happiness with this company. I am making more than a 1000 kwh more than they promised me. And on top of that, they installed the system extremely neat. And lastly, their workers are the very best.

Excellent experience dealing with this company. From initial contact through proposals and installation to completion, all interactions with employees were A+.
Courteous, professional, responsive and helpful throughout.
