KW Solar - Houston Solar Panel Installers

Recently had a few more panel installed and again the team was quick and the install was smooth. Batteries or generator is next.

I strongly recommend KWSolar for your residential roof mounted Solar as well as Battery system. KWSolar was the company I had the initial design discussions and also the contract. They are an affiliate of Greenlight Solar. Greenlight Solar managed the rest of the process including applications for interconnection with utility and permitting with the city. I chose to go with them driven by (a) being certified installers for the various components of the system that I wanted and, (b) providing the optimal system design. Justin from KWSolar was very helpful during the sales design process. In particular, he helped in optimizing the solar panel layout for my target system size given a complicated hip roof with many roof planes. He was very responsive to my design suggestions and target system parameters. He provided me the necessary technical details such as for roof mounts, panels, batteries, etc., to help me finalize my system. Greenlight Solar’s installation teams were excellent with their manager Dustin coordinating them. Seong and his crew were responsible for the roof mount/rack and the wiring of the REC solar panels and the Enphase iq8+ inverters. They also did the critter guard mesh around all the edges. Oai and his electrical crew of Andrew and Frank were responsible for wall mounting and the wiring of the Enphase Combiner, Tesla Powerwall 2s, Tesla Gateway, and, the disconnects for the grid-tied system. Both crews were patient, methodical, and perfectionists. It was a delight to watch both the teams doing their work. A big shout out also to Andrew who helped with the commissioning before (no export mode) and after the Permission to Operate (PTO). The project management folks were also very responsive to my concerns and questions. Melody from KWSolar and Ryann from Greenlight Solar were quick to address any issues that came up to ensure project was on a good timeline. Additionally, the engineering, interconnection and permitting teams were also critical for the success of the project. One area where these teams can improve would be to be proactive in anticipating possible issues or have backup team members to avoid delay in completing their process step. For those looking to do such a project, I would recommend spending a lot of time upfront on learning the technical and process details for each step in the process. Knowing the details will help to set the right expectations for yourself and also to be specific in your request for what you want in design and/or during installation.

I got several quotes from different vendors and this company was far and away the most thorough and knowledgeable. They were not at all salesy. They had flexible options and were able to get me a very customized solution based on my goals. The rep was experienced and was able to answer all of my questions regarding the various solar and battery technologies. I was impressed by their knowledge of the local solar buyback options and how they were able to provide me a more optimal solar buyback solution relative to other competitors.

I had our Solar System installed by KW solar some four years ago. They were prompt in returning phone calls and support until last year. Since than I have been calling, emailing them about our system not generating any electricity without any reply back. I don't even know if they are in business any more. Beware of small solar companies, you don't know if they will be in business after five years or so! Since my last review, I got a call immediately by Justin of KW Solar and my issues were immediately resolved in a professional manner. They even reimburse for the Loss of Power generation. I couldn't be happier for their prompt response. Based on overall dealings with KW Solar, I highly recommend the KW Solar. Way to go Justin!

We purchased a solar system from KW solar in July 2021 so it's now been 12 months since the system was turned on. No issues so far. It's been working without any faults at all since it was turned on. KW predicted that the system would generate 15264 kWh in a year and they actually produced 15685 kWh so the KW solar prediction was pretty much spot on which is great to see. Regarding the installation, everything went very smoothly. It does take a bit of time to get the permits but KW solar were upfront about that and the system was installed and operating to the schedule they gave us before we signed the contract. Installation itself took 1 day and I'm impressed with how neat and tidy the system looks on the roof. Other companies designs that we considered would have run more conduit on the outside of the roof but KW solar's design has the majority of the cables inside the attic which I think is better from both a looks and longevity of the system perspective. Would definitely recommend KW solar to others.

I contacted 5 solar companies requesting an estimate for a system on a new build house. They were selected based on google reviews averaging 4.5 stars and above. Justin was the only one who responded promptly with a meeting followed by a quote and then a revision. None of the other companies even come close to his response and service. He was excellent and months ahead of everyone else. Full disclosure: I did not select KW to do the work even though their price was the lowest. I have selected another company based on integrated services with the energy consultant that I am using.

We purchased our home with KW Solar having already installed panels on the house we bought. We couldn't be more satisfied with the overall experience from our original inquiry about getting to know about solar to our visit from KW Solar rep to walk our property and show us things we didn't even konw about. Every time we've had a question we always get an answer. The panels are doing exactly what they should be doing and we are excited each month when our (negative) energy bill comes. I'm sure there's a choice in solar but after our experience with KW we would highly recommend. Having solar in the house was DEFINITELY something we talked about for the purchase of our home.

When we had roof damage from having a tree fall on our house, we decided it was a perfect time to investigate solar, since we had to have the roof replaced anyway. We also decided that we wanted to upgrade our AC/Heating system, that was about 10 years old and was starting to be problematic. We interviewed numerous companies, finding that many act as a "middle-man," which results in a much higher cost to have a system installed. We had narrowed it down to three companies, but selected KW Solar because we were impressed with their honesty and thoroughness. We were especially pleased that they were able to act as a general contractor for entire project (new AC/Heating, new roof, solar install). Brent was our main contact throughout the process, and we were extremely pleased with the quality of the work performed. The roof was replaced in less than a week, and the new AC/Heating install (including new ducting) took about one additional week to complete. The solar install capped off the project, and they finished well within the timeline that they provided. As with most construction projects, there were a few hiccups, but all were fairly minor and were handled quickly. Brent has been extremely responsive throughout the whole project, and even when we had questions after the completion of the project. Overall, we are finding the savings in our energy bills to have been fairly accurately estimated and are very happy with the results. The monthly savings in our energy bill almost completely pays for the monthly payment due on the loan for the project. And since the loan will be paid off long before the new roof, AC/Heating and solar system needs to be replaced, we feel confident that we made the right decision to do this project. We wholeheartedly recommend KW Solar, and have found all of their employees to be honest and hardworking. The quality of their work is stellar. I have uploaded a picture of our solar installation after it was completed.
