My experience with solarized solar, from the initial sales process to the onboarding and implementation, has been phenomenal. I even sent all of their paperwork off to my law firm because you can never be too careful, and the paperwork came back with nothing but good things to say. My electric bill is barely a couple of bucks a month, and I have been thrilled with my service.

Cindy Alarcón es la mejor y habla Español!!! Recomendada 100%. Bought our home in October 2021. Had met with other solar companies who still didn’t quite convince us. Cindy Alarcón reached out and met with us. She was very thorough, knowledgeable and patient. She answered our questions and clarified our concerns. Cindy helped us feel comfortable with our decision. She has been super supportive since day 1. Can’t wait for the install.

Talk about going the extra mile! Ben and Cindy literally drove extra miles to help this technologically impaired client obtain a Solarise contract. Always cheerful and consistently returning phone calls and emails, this professional pair embodies what Solarise stands for. Add up your last years electric bills and compare it to the fixed price of the panels per month and you'll see the savings. You can trust Ben and Cindy, I guarantee it.

Wendy Taggart

Frederick Carter made our solar experience pain free. He came to our home and explained how we will be saving money on our power bill and that payment will never increase. With the power companies always increasing their rates year after year I’d be a fool not to go with solar energy after seeing the savings Frederick showed us. I’m all about saving money on my fixed income. Thank you Solarize Solar for your professionalism on installation and knowledgeable employees.

Jim Keller

13:55 01 Dec 21

Couldn’t ask for better service and interaction with Frederick. He made the whole process smooth and easy. Thanks again Fred!

Solarise solar won my business after meeting with 4 other companies and with frederick's great customer service. The other companies just gave us a sales pitch and wanted us to sign on the dotted line and Frederick actually came out and gave us real data and service and made us feel confident about the entire process.

John Carroll

23:00 19 Nov 21

We had great experience with this company. Fred was very helpful with communicating with us every step of the way. Highly recommend

Amber Hamrick

I was very well educated by Frederick on the whole solar experience I was sold on the education that was given to me by him. He broke everything down in Laymans term. Thank you so much Solarise Solar you couldn’t pick a better person. Excellent customer service thank you Mr Frederick for your delightful customer service.

I decided to put solar on my home last year and I wanted to take some time before leaving a review. Everything went extremely smooth and my system has been working perfectly. Frederick was great and just like he reassured my energy rates have not gone up and my experience with this company has been nothing but fantastic and professional.

Christine Carroll

19:40 18 Nov 21

It was a pleasure working with Fred. He is very knowledgeable and you can tell he has been doing this for a while. He helped pick out the right size and plan for our solar setup, we highly recommend him and his company.

Erick Collins

18:58 18 Nov 21

We have been on the fence about going solar but once we spoke to Frederick he answered all our questions and showed us how we will be saving money on our utility bills and the payments will never go up like the utilities do. Financing was an easy process and installation was professional and quick. I highly recommend Solarise Solar.

Michele Keller

03:18 18 Nov 21

The experience was great. From the salesman to the installation team, it was explained with detail and installed professionally. I would recommend Solaris solar to friends and family. Thank you for the business! Thank you Fredrick Carter!

I've heard solar was expensive, but their sales team was very knowledgeable straight forward to me .After my results of my last utilities bill I'm very happy with the numbers 👍. thanks again Solarisd

Jack Timber

Solarise put up our solar panels here in Pueblo. No money down; easy financing; reasonable payments—especially in the summer, I’m sure, as we run AC. Every single person was awesome! We have an almost perfect roof slope and direction and really felt we were wasting a renewable resource.

Lora Payne

21:00 19 May 21

We were very pleased with the professional and friendly manner that every Solarise employee exhibited from the salesperson all the way to completing installation. We are enjoying smaller electric bills and are greatly comforted by the fact that Solarise services what it sells.

Robert Chambers
