Solar Energy Company reviews in Fowler, California

My partner and I have worked in the solar industry for 4 years. I worked in management an he worked on the installation end. We have both heard that freedom forever was a bad company to buy from. I purchased a home that has a system on it already that is only 2 years old. I took over the loan when purchasing the home. I would not have done business with this company personally but I really wanted the home. The sale went through in October but I guess there is a complete disconnect with them an there financing. Escrow sent all paperwork to sunlight as well as freedom forever. I assumed all was taken care of until my system stopped working in March an they would not assist me. I sent all necessary documents an that took forever to just have my name in there system as the new owner. It’s been 2 months an they are moving tremendously slow. Luckily solar edge let us know the inverter was out so I was able to get a ticket in for a technician to come in an repair it. I haven’t received any answer on when they will be coming out. It is approaching 3 digits an my true up is going to be ridiculous because of the screw up. Freedom Forever needs to take some accountability and fix this issue asap. I will continue to let everyone know not to do business with this company. I should have listened or worked out a better deal while closing on my home to atleast make this less painful.

Delores was super helpful. I appreciate the time she took to help me. Thank you.

This project has been in the works since July 2024. It is May 2025 and it’s still not completed. They also had to reposition my panels which was going to lead to a decrease in productivity. That’s not what I signed up for and believe this is a breach of contract. Sales rep and project manager are useless

Humberto and Luis did a great job. Very professional and clean.

Followed by the best crew I’ve been around to install the panels, inverters and batteries. Very professional. Paid attention to detail, and was accommodating with my unique/picky request’s. Truly feel that Adonis and the entire ‘the boys’ crew treated my home as if it were their own. Would highly recommend.

Solar installed with this company in November of 2019. Salesman was quite a schmooze, we were told our system was being "overestimated" by at least 10% and that we would have a battery and savings would be unbelievable. Goal was to "break even" each year. Well the system has not produced adequate energy for the last 5 years, this last year's true up bill was $6k , the first 3 years our systems antenna wasn't working and while the company replaced when I complained, it STILL does not work. I also didn't ever get that "battery" installed. 35k later, I have a system that does not work. Company will not rectify the situation, does not reimburse for "underperforming" despite what we were told at signing. Our home is old, no central AC or pool, and yet we manage to pay about $600/mo for electricity plus the cost of the panels ($199/mo) when I can figure out how to sue this SCAM company I will. RUN! DONT SIGN WITH THESE FRAUDSTERS!!! They will leave you high and dry and then ignore your calls for help and refer you to their "no savings clause" in which their contract says they won't reimburse you for underperforming, not do they guarantee you will save $$ on electricity. What a joke. SCAM!

DONT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!! INSTALLED SOLAR PANELS BUT CREATED A LEAK THAT CAUSED MY WALL TO BREAK DOWN AND GROW BLACK MOLD! I REACHED OUT AND HAVE BEEN GETTING IGNORED FOR TWO MONTHS NOW! NO CALLS NO MESSAGES !! UNPROFESSIONAL!! TRUST I WISH I COULD DO 0 STARS , I NEED MY HOUSE FIXED!

Update*** 5 years in- they have NOT ADDRESSED ANY ISSUES OFFERED ANY SOLUTIONS. 25 calls, at least 25 emails, no meaningful response except to tell me that "we understand you frustration" and that they cannot "guarantee or imply savings" also cannot explain why this crap system doesn't have a battery pack as promised or why I pay 3-5x more a month now.
DO YOUR RESEARCH! DONT TRUST THESE PEOPLE!
THEY WILL NOT ASSIST WITH YOUR ISSUES AND THEN SAY THEY "RESOLVED" This company is awful, I wish I'd never met them or had the misfortune of dealing with them. Nothing but problems, insane costs and REGRET HERE!

Daniel and his 2 guy crew, I believe there names were Vincent & Ramillo did an exceptional job. There workmanship is unbelievable

I had a very disappointing experience with Freedom Forever and Michael Thomas II. Michael met with my husband and me to discuss solar options and promised that by installing new panels and using a PPA, we would no longer owe PG&E except for connection fees. He also assured us that the new system would generate more energy than we could possibly use, even as our family grew.

Freedom Forever installed the panels and battery. However, the reality has been far from what was promised. In October, I received a PG&E bill for $229 in addition to the monthly lease fee. The system was incorrectly sized, and despite promises, one battery is insufficient to eliminate our need for grid electricity. The battery depletes after just an hour of use, and we’re still paying PG&E for excess power.

To make matters worse, we were still on the NEM 1 plan, and now we’re paying thousands more for less usable electricity. Freedom Forever also claimed the project was complete before the battery was fully operational. It took a literal month for someone to come out and switch it on. It is baffling that companies allow salespeople to blatantly misrepresent situations and incorrectly size the equipment for the household’s needs.

I even hired an attorney to resolve the situation, but despite his initial commitment to respond, Michael stopped communicating, leaving us without resolution. Freedom Forever has also not responded. Be very careful when making decisions with this company. Michael seemed knowledgeable, and we believed his promises, but unfortunately, they have not been met.

Jose Lopez with Freedom Forever showed top technical skills experienced for me to be confident in his final inspections and corrections for the City Of Fresno to issue my solar permit which they did. He exhibited top quality knowledge in the solar field expertise and ease myself that my solar is running to operate fully without any issues once it gets approved by PG&E. I highly recommend anyone who wants to install solar to review and meet with the Freedom Forever sales associate to discuss your solar needs.

Horrible service. We’ve been working with them for months and can not get a hold of anyone. Now we’re getting emails threatening they are going to put a lien on our home!! Still can’t get a hold of anyone and whoever Bailey is never returns calls! Also the bot that responds to these and lists an email well it’s not monitored.

Had my solar system installed Last year October they had install the panels three times they moved my batteries about four times. They just can’t seem to get anything right it is now March 19 of 2025. Keep in mind I had everything installed in October 2024 was a poor service poor craftsmanship. I still have no solar at my house. I have a whole bunch of panels doing absolutely nothing. they broke my sprinkler valve in the backyard about three separate times due to all the frequent damage to the sprinkler valve. They damage the wires that connect to the front yard to turn on the sprinklers in the front yard. They said the same technician out here on multiple occasions it still don’t work I give you guys advice spend the money go somewhere else. These people are awful and Chris Teller I’ll say his name again Chris Tellercannot get nothing right I don’t even know how this guy keeps a job.

Freedom forever came in and installed My solar panels did an amazing job. They were very communicative. Humberto waited for me to get home from work so he can explain to me what he did as far as all the electrical work did a real nice clean job thank you. I highly recommend freedom forever

I would like to thank Tony Padilla for the exceptional service he has provided me and my family in our solar install. He has made sure to provide great service even after our system was installed. Would recommend Tony to anyone.

Dolores was extremely helpful and navigate my difficult request with ease.

I have had a highly unsatisfactory experience with this company. A sales representative persistently visited my residence and contacted me excessively by phone. I ultimately terminated a prior contract with another provider in order to do business with this company, which has since proven to be highly unreliable. As others have reported, my system is not functioning properly, and I have received no communication from either the company or the monitoring service. My calls and messages have gone unanswered, including those directed to the original sales representative. Despite having solar installed, my energy bills remain high—exceeding $300—and I am still obligated to make payments to the company. I intend to pursue all available avenues to address this matter, including media outreach and legal consultation. It is deeply concerning that a company would engage in such neglectful business practices.

Fresno Dream Team Johnny Mendez and the 4 man crew of expert installers addressed everything the homeowner cares about informing him about all the details and consulting on needed aspects with care and utmost professionalism. Wholeheartedly glad to have Freedom Forever, hands down #1 in technical expertise, market stability and future prospects for growth.

Scam alert! Them and their partner Everbrite are terrible. Sales rep “Bryce” may try to pretend to be on your side but it’s empty promises and now 3 months of ghosting, despite multiple attempts to connect. Awful service from both companies!

I am extremely satisfied with my experience with Freedom Forever and my sales representative, Antonio Padilla. From the initial consultation to the completion of the solar system, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. Antonio was knowledgeable, attentive, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The crew was very professional, courteous, and worked diligently to complete the project on time with no hiccups. I highly recommend Freedom Forever for anyone considering solar energy. Thank you, Antonio, and the entire team for your excellent service!

Very helpful explaining the way my solar charges and gave great feedback on solutions and when problems arise how to get help.

Freedom Forever had had great customer service with their installation and setup of my solar panels.
