Monique did my one year follow up recently and was very professional, personable, and a really nice person. She showed me things on the app that I hadn't actually looked at and I'm glad she did. It was an informative follow up. Thank you Monique!! :)

Solar Rise is they way to go! Once Jordan took over as our point of contact for our solar project everything seemed to be put in the fast lane. Jordan’s customer service is beyond professional. She gave me piece of mind by calling and checking in with me on a weekly basis to keep me updated on how the solar installation was going. Overall I would and will recommend this solar company to everyone.

We recently purchased a home with a Solarise system. They immediately sent me specs for my system via email. Last weekend, Monique drove a 70 mile trip just to make contact with us and give us an orientation with our system and Solarise. What other company does this?Kudos to Solarise and Monique for excellent customer service and support!

Solarise was so easy to work with and our sales rep was really personable when it came to explaining the system and what we could expect for the install. Monique came out for our follow up to ensure our system was working properly and we had access to the app and knew how to see errors if there were any due to weather or non working panels. As with any company, there were minor issues with our install, but everything was addressed and a solution was in place in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to go solar.

Scotty Wayne

The service was great and the people are friendly. With our monthly service and our solar panel loan we are paying about $20 a month less then our highest electric bill. But that won’t increase as the rates go up.

I cannot say enough about Solarise!! Even when I had some doubts in the process, this team was professional and honest, helping me understand the details and being available every time I called. Chris was incredible, spent an hour answering all my questions! Cindee was an amazing sales rep, made a friend for life! Seriously, with the cost savings considered, low interest, and kickbacks, you cannot go wrong with this company!! I am impressed!

Heather Engle

We wanted solar power as much for reducing our carbon footprint as reducing our energy cost. Our salesman Ben S, and our installers were very helpful! The followup was unexpected and and Marc was helpful in explaining what tools are available for keeping up with usage and production.

Denis Ford

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.
