Rich and Zeb installed a 14.3K system for us. Their ability to explain everything in a way we could understand, attention to detail, and quick response to any questions, are rare qualities with companies today. We have and will continue to highly recommend Solartech! Thank you for your great service.
Apparently only do large solar projects. After finding out that ours was a small system they did not want to do and told us they were too busy. Oh well there are lots of Solar folks out there! Moving on.
