Solar Energy System reviews in Fort Collins, Colorado

Sandbox Solar is definitely the way to go if you’re considering installing solar. Everyone I interacted with was kind, knowledgeable, and really helped make the process seamless. Efa was an absolute gem with some scheduling complications I had, Calvin and the installation crew were wonderful, going above and beyond for me…. even in cold December weather, and Tyler the electrician was easy to work with getting the inspection completed and passed. It's impressive as a company that they keep all the work in house and they all really seem to enjoy working with Sandbox. It feels good to support a company who does great work and clearly has happy employees. I would definitely recommend Sandbox! I wish working with all contractors was this easy and well done!

We had an excellent experience with Sandbox Solar. Charles was especially great to work with, great communication and hard working team.

The entire process with Sandbox Solar was excellent. From the design, to signing the contract, to permitting, to installation to the final inspection and the ultimate sign-off from my utility company. Start to finish from signing the contract to grid-tied solar took about 2 months to the day. A few weeks of that timing was waiting on the utility company.

The solar installation is very clean looking and their team was considerate of my requests for minimizing external conduit and panel location. It is actually quite difficult for me to even get a photo of the solar array. It is only barley visible from the ground anywhere.

If I ever move somewhere local and get another solar array, you better believe I will be using Sandbox Solar again!

What a great team! We had solar panels installed by Sandbox Solar more than a year ago and are happy with the results. Planning, installation, and follow up were all done professionally—the staff were all friendly and knowledgeable and the whole process went smoothly. Definitely recommend!

This is a bit of an unusual review, as it's not for the company's services, so take it as you will. I'm frequently at Home Depot in the mornings when a lot of pros are there. This morning a group from Sandbox Solar was there and multiple times I saw them make the courteous choice vs the fastest choice, even though it might have delayed them a bit. Many pros throw their carts wherever, cut people off, etc. I get that time is money and not everyone can make the choices and survive. But this morning I saw three different groups of Sandbox Solar guys delay their day by 30 or 40 seconds and return their carts, walk to the crosswalk to cross, thank the cashier, etc. All small acts, but unusual enough for that time of day at Home Depot that I noticed. Thanks for being good guys!

Great price through the Broomfield COOP, great follow through and answers to questions. Everything went ahead of schedule. Installation to xcel turning on went great. Only 1 small issue and they resolved the same day! Thank you to Justin, Efa, Charles, and Sam at Sandbox Solar

Charles and Purple team did a fine job of getting our panels mounted and prepped for electrical. They got here early, had the right tools and equipment and worked non stop. It was Christmas eve! Thanks

My solar system just went live with our electrical Coop. I had first contracted with echo mark solar who informed me three months later that the county would not issue a permit to place solar on my metal out building as I did not want panels on my house. They told me I would have to tear down and rebuild the entire building. In comes Sandbox. Not only did they install 29 solar panels on my metal building, they did so at half the cost that Echo Mark was going to charge me. Funny thing, the county issued a permit and it passed all inspections. Sandbox not only did a great job with my solar, they also installed a sub electrical panel at no additional cost when it was discovered that the new panel they had to place had less breaker space than the old one. Tells you all you need to know about Echo Mark and everything you want to know about Sandbox. I highly recommend Sandbox. Go with the smaller local guys

We had a great experience with Sandbox Solar. Once supply chain issues were solved (not their fault!), they moved quickly to get our project up and running. Professional, friendly, and great workmanship - on all levels, from the office staff to the installers, electricians, etc. They even coordinated closely with our excavation contractor, so we didn't have to have a lot of back & forth between crews.

Sandbox Solar was amazing to work with throughout the whole process from initial sales pitch to final installation and inspection. The panels look great and they have provided great support after the system was turned on.

Sandbox Solar did a fantastic job installing a customized 27 kWh system for our home in the Boulder - Longmont Area. Having purchased solar for a previous residence, we knew exactly what we wanted and were looking for a company with the expertise to develop an especially large, hyper-optimized array for a reasonable price. We contacted several companies, but Sandbox Solar’s bid was the best. Now our array is fully engaged, and I must say, we are impressed with every aspect of our system from the design and engineering, to the construction (thank you Charles!), electrical work, and of course the performance of our batteries and panels. Service at Sandbox is so friendly, responsive and professional that we’re sad our project is done. Great job, Sandbox!

This is a wonderful company to work with. All the work is in-house, the sales staff is knowledgeable and informative, and the process is pressure free. They are more than competitive in price. You will not be paying for giant infrastructure and stock market performance.

The engineering docs for the job is professional and the permit process through to completion is seamless.

The equipment they use is state of the art and is currently providing more than estimates! The Enphase Enlighten app is informative.

Installation crew is fantastic! No mess inside or out. They painted (with my paint) any external conduit, which was minimal.

They installed interconnect wiring in the attic to provide a clean aesthetic to the installation.

This is not a giant, publicly traded company. They are community driven and local in Fort Collins.

After many sales sessions with other companies, I felt Sandbox Solar would not only provide a quality solution, but they would be there during and after the process. I was not wrong.

If you are thinking solar (with the new 30% tax credit) this is the place. After doing the calcs on costs, a system now costs the same or less monthly than what electricity costs from Xcel energy. Future rate increases not included. Take a load off the grid! Also RENU in Colorado is a thing.

So thankful to have discovered Sandbox Solar! This company was fun to work with, attentive and so professional through the whole process. Justin answered all our questions and was thorough during the design work, Efa was so kind and responsive managing the project, and Charles was superb installing the system and a pleasure to talk to! I recommend Sandbox Solar to anyone looking for solar.

As a realtor, it’s extremely important having trustworthy vendors to introduce to my clients, and Jaysen and his team have separated themselves from the competition. Quick to respond, knowledgeable, fair and honest pricing and a feeling like you’re “being taken care of” have cemented Jaysen and his team as my new go-to HVAC service in town!

Had the absolute best experience with our HVAC technician, RUSLE (or was it ROSSIL? RUSSLE? We may never know 😄). Whatever his real name is, this guy was awesome! Super friendly, easy to talk to, and had me laughing within minutes — which is not something you usually say about an HVAC visit!

He was professional, explained everything clearly, and most importantly… he wore his booties in the house! 🙌 That might seem small, but to homeowners, that’s a big deal. It shows so much respect for our space and floors, and I appreciated it more than he probably knows.

Thank you, RUSLE/ROSSIL, for being both hilarious and professional — a rare combo these days. Five stars, ten booties, and endless gratitude.

I had a fantastic experience with Sandbox Solar installing my PV system. From my project assistant, Casandra, to John’s and Wyatt’s hardware and electrical installation teams, respectively, all were hardworking, and super friendly!! They did a bang-up job of guiding me through both the installation process and the actual installation itself.

The installation team of Clay, Bailee and Cavin were wonderful to work with. They took the time to explain the steps and followed through with any questions I had. They finished their work on time. I highly recommend this team to install your solar. Thanks Sandbox.

Had an excellent experience getting our solar panel system designed and installed. After some design iterations, ended up with 17 panels, a new electrical panel, and EV wiring for the garage.

The installation went smoothly, and communication before, during, and after was great.

Highly recommend.

Solar Sandbox as a company and individually every person I interacted with are truly remarkable. They not only did a great job removing my Solar Panels and then reinstalling after my recent new roof but they went above and beyond rescuing baby birds (pigeons), putting them in buckets and placing in the shade until another staffer came and took them to a sanctuary. The rest of the staff either gave me updates on the birds or asked about them. This is truly amazing in today's world. Customer service was excellent and timely. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking to install Solar or if you other solar needs as I did.

We were so happy to have power during the Boulder outage two weeks ago thanks to our new Powerwall. Thanks are in order for Sandbox’s installers (we love the ground mount Bama & Tony!) and electricians for a job masterfully done!
