I can’t say enough good things about catamount solar. From my 1st conversation with Bridget I knew I was dealing with a company that truly cared about its customers. They were very responsive and came out quickly to assess my off-grid needs. Meeting with Sean and Jacob for the estimate only reinforced that impression. My kind of people. They were both kind, professional and very informative answering all my concerns without ever making me feel pressured. What makes this even more impressive is that this was an off-grid installation on an island, which comes with its own unique challenges and logistics. The entire team went above and beyond to make it happen and handled everything with professionalism and great attention to detail, even doing a bit of painting for me. The results?, incredible. The system has been running flawlessly for about 3 weeks and beers are cold! Knowing that im generating my own power on the island is an amazing feeling. They made an incredibly daunting job far easier than I could have ever expected. Thanks again to the whole team for an incredible job. Also they are an employee owned company which I thought was really awesome and it showed. Don’t think twice about this team.
I appreciate the care and thought that the entire crew put into our solar installation, they were all knowledgeable, competent and did a professional job.
Everyone on the team was a pleasure to deal with.
Catamount solar was excellent in all respects
Very poor/ difficult experience.
