Elemental Energy

i had an amazing experience working with Spencer Hutchinson and Elemental on my home solar project! I got bids from multiple outfits and Elemental was without a doubt the right choice. Highly knowledgeable, made things super clear, and their approach was “no pressure.” Pricing was competitive, and they made sure to design the system that met my needs within my budget. Install process was smooth and the crew was friendly and accommodating when we had to schedule around a napping infant. I have zero hesitation in recommending Elemental!

Elemental Energy is the real deal. Helpful from step one all the way through the final walkthrough. Spencer, the consultant, is very knowledgeable about solar and its installation. He answered all questions patiently and knowledgeably. Robbie, the project manager we worked with, worked quickly to get permitting and scheduling the installation. The installation team was respectful of property and equipment and adept at the installation itself. Thanks, Elemental Energy!

We had Elemental install a 37 panel system on our house in July 2020 and worked with Josh Little. We've been very happy with the system -- energy production estimates pre-installation have been right on our 3 year average and the system has been completely trouble free. Elemental did a great job on the installation; the electrical inspector commented on it and noted that he liked doing inspections of their work since there was never anything to worry about.

I will definitely call elemental energy to bid on our upcoming solar project. Our job just completed was an EV charger with extra electrical problem solving, work and supplies needed for an adjacent pre-existing electrical problem. Uncertainty around final solution at time of bid caused me some anxiety about final actual cost, but added costs were predicted in a transparent manner. All staff were clear, professional and effective at bidding online and on site at time of job. Final product resulted in an excellent solution and good work at a good price.

Elemental has been fantastic to work with. They provided clear bids and education on how to optimize system design for our solar and backup power goals. They managed the schedule and site flawlessly. They handled permitting and inspection processes. Every individual who came on site was professional, intelligent and helpful. They have been very responsive to post-install questions. Highly recommend Elemental!!

The entire experience with Elemental Energy was top notch! This is the second home I have with solar panels, and there isn't another solar company I could imagine doing business with. Josh, their lead solar tech, is very informed, service-oriented and does a great and thorough job answering all questions. The install team was punctual, friendly and got the job done within the estimated timeframe. Support throughout the process was responsive, and I always felt well taken care of. They were also very open and accommodating to my feedback on design and overall system performance. I'll definitely be in touch with them when I need storage capacity, EV for a car or another set of panels on a future home. Highly recommend!

Elemental Energy is a five-star business in every way. Everything about them, from the informative initial visit, to the thorough site survey, to the careful installation, to the courteous and professional crew, are all completely first-class. We highly recommend their work. They installed a solar system for us in November 2021. We want to wait a full year to make sure there are no problems before writing a review. Our goal is to maximize energy production. Ruthie the Elemental salesperson understands the difference between big modules and a big system. A competitor's quote proposes using 440W modules from LG. Those modules are physically large (1.9 square meters). However we have roof vents and dormers that they have to work around, so large modules don't actually cover the roof that well, leaving large gaps. By using 370W modules (1.8 square meters) from Solaria, Elemental's proposal is able to cover more of the roof with modules. Their design results in a higher output system than the competitor's, 10 vs 8.8 kW DC. Our installation requires some additional, non-solar electrical work. Besides installing modules on the house roof as well as the standalone garage roof, we also want a new 50A circuit into the kitchen to electrify our gas range, and a new high-power circuit to the garage for a future EV charger. Bryce the Elemental electrician takes the time during the site survey to determine the best options for running all this new wiring. His solution runs conduit around the back of the house, through a basement workshop into the kitchen, so no interior finish is impacted. It also reuses an existing conduit going under the driveway to the garage so that no concrete work is needed. Elemental's installation crew was very professional, courteous and efficient. Jeff and his rooftop crew were always punctual. We have had no roof leaks or any other complaints after a whole season. Bryce, Will and Cory did a very tidy job with the wiring. The conduits in particular were greatly admired by other electricians who later saw it. Elemental's proposal uses micro inverters from Enphase. Their competitor specifies a string inverter. Our garage roof is partially shaded in the mornings. Micro inverters are better at maximizing production when the modules don't get uniform sun exposure. Elemental also includes the Enlighten data reporting and monitoring apparatus in their proposal. To be honest, we thought it was a little gimmicky when we first saw it. But since then we have totally geeked out on solar data! "Look, it's another 60 kWh day!" :-) Enlighten has the ability to monitor consumption as well as production. This is very useful to us, because we electrified most gas appliances at the same time, and if we just relied on PGE's net metering alone, we would have had no visibility into the energy usage of our new appliances. Elemental's system greatly exceeds our expectations. For the trailing 12 months, the system produced over 11 MWh. Even with increased consumption from a new heat pump and induction range, we are still net exporters of 2.6 MWh for the year! --

What an amazing experience with Elemental Energy. From start to finish, no pressure sales, had answers to all of my questions (there were a lot) and a thorough and efficient install process. The best part of our solar installation (so far) is that the estimated production was underestimated at the time of the proposal. The panels Elemental used were sleek and very attractive, unlike so many other installations in my neighborhood. Additionally, their electricians took the time to route all wiring inside our attic and walls so there was no external conduit visible. They were able to connect three disjoint arrays of panels on two different roof sections this way. I compared Elemental to multiple other installers (some local, some national) and they were the obvious choice for us. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were fantastic, all the way around.
