Electrical reviews in Boise, Idaho
-
Could not be happier with our experience. The process of designing the system was very thorough and data driven based on our house location, energy usage, and finances. The system has functioned great and even while I review it's performance on the app I get regular check in calls from Sun Driven making sure I don't have any questions as well as a discussion of the system performance from their end. When an intense storm went through I was called to let me know someone would be coming out to the house to inspect the panels and make sure no damage had occurred. Great company overall.

Purchase and install of Tesla Powerwall 3 was a pleasurable experience. Sun Driven handled all coordination for installer, electrician, inspector and Idaho Power involvement. We were kept well informed throughout the process. Cesar Acuna did an exceptional job doing the installation as well as being very responsive and diligent tracking down a problem with solar panels not producing. He even helped us get started on the Tesla app for the Powerwall. Thanks Cesar!!

I've waited for over a year to leave my review so that I could thoroughly speak about my experience, the effectiveness of their job, and the productivity of my panels, not to mention their commitment to the sales agreement.
First off, these guys are phenomenal, one of THE BEST companies I have EVER worked with! From start to finish to over a year later. And I've traveled around the sun for over four and a half decades.
Now the story, for those of you that are interested in reading about this amazing experience. Everybody that I have worked with at the company were genuine people, not just employees pushing a product for profit. They provided me with an estimate that would cover my annual energy use and eliminate my bills to the utility monopoly. They showed up early in the morning (right on time) and the installation looked amazing. Not only as far as the layout, but also the aesthetic quality that it added to my house. I saw no trace of them being in my yard or on my roof, other than the panels--they cleaned up impeccably.
As they estimated, I produced more energy than I needed until the shorter days set in so I started pulling from my bank (when it used to exist, grrr). My bank ran out in January, when the PUC gave Idaho Power their wishes to gouge rooftop solar producers so they could profit off people generating their own energy from the sun. HUH!?! Anyway, I underproduced what the company had estimated by the end of the first year and so I contacted them. They told me they would compensate by adding more panels AT NO COST. In other words, they fully honored the agreement with no questions asked or excuses made. I totally commend them on their integrity as a company and as people running a business.
Side note: I know other people with panels and their companies have not honored their estimate and/or are giving them the run around and making excuses. Not Sun Driven, they stood by their word and it makes me even happier that I contacted them (wasn't solicited at my house) and chose to have them install the panels. I also interviewed 3 other companies and Sun Driven provided me with the best estimate. Beyond that, they are local, in house, and donate to local non-profits. Win, win, win!!!
Since the change with Idaho Power that gouged roof top solar producers, I asked if they could also move a few of my existing panels to the westside of my house where they were going to install the FREE PANELS. They said no problem and also said that they would only charge for materials to move them. In other words, they would do it LABOR FREE since they were already going to be here!
How many companies have you experienced with such great integrity and kindness? For me, few to none other than Sun Driven.
To end, I would have given them more stars because they have provided me with at least 110% service and integrity. They are a local company, they donate to local non-profits, and they are ALL genuinely good people. If you are interested in solar panels, I strongly encourage you to go with Sun Driven, they won't let you down. -
Sun Driven Solar was an excellent company to work with. I've had previous projects and instances where I required the need of contractors/vendors and was never an easy process.
However, SDR was amazing, from the beginning to the very end. Even with great companies, there's normally at least one area that can be lacking or does not provide the same service or knowledge as others. Beginning with the sales representative was what initially obtained my interest. With so many different solar companies marketing, it can get exhausting and repetitive having the same regurgitated script told to you, that no fault in their own, are obligated to inform.
The Sales team did not put any pressure on decisions or frame facts to where it's in their advantage and a scare tactic. They were upfront and transparent, which is a nice change to see in a company.
Although Sales were great to work with, I was still hesitant when it came down to the physical work; and that's where other companies can fall short. Whether that be time frame, cost, unforeseen issues that could have been prevented by research, etc.
I'm grateful the installation team was the exact customer service experienced with Sales. They were extremely professional, considerate of my property and completed before originally anticipated, without compromising quality.
Aside from the physical project itself, they went above and beyond assisting me with the information and action items I needed to take to optimize the best process for my Taxes and ensuring I'm able to receive all benefits available.
I'm extremely happy with the outcome and fortunate to have dealt with such an awesome team! -
We’ve had a great experience with Sun Driven Solar AND continue to receive great care with them! They never pressured us with a “hard sell.” Instead, they gave us plenty of time to ask questions, investigate, and determine how best their solar panel system fit with our energy goals for our home. Along the way, Zach answered every question and he didn’t hesitate to walk us through any concerns we had (He’s really great!).
Our house is perfectly south-facing, so we've had great energy production. Our solar panels were installed in mid-June of 2022 and we immediately saw our energy production outpace our energy consumption in July. Thereafter, our energy production continued to outpace our consumption through November. Only in the past few winter months, with all the random snow we’ve gotten, have we seen a shift in our energy production. But, with the current solar offsets granted by Idaho Power, our monthly payment with Idaho Power hasn’t been higher than where it was during last year’s winter months.
Additionally, we’ve had to reach out to Sun Driven Solar to help with some small matters and they’ve been helpful and incredibly timely! They helped us navigate the solar credit for our tax returns by providing necessary documents and details for what to do. And, most recently, they helped us as part of a living room renovation. We installed two small peekaboo windows, which required us to move the shielded electrical wires that connected the solar power box to the electrical line running from the solar panels. We were worried about having to potentially move the wires and the box, but Robert and Sean assured us that it could be done without much fuss. Not only did they come over and quickly remove the shielded wires, but also, they came back after the window install and carefully and thoughtfully positioned the shielded wires around the new window frame.
We’ve had an amazing experience with Sun Driven from our first visit to now, and we are genuinely grateful for how dedicated, kind, and helpful they’ve been every step of the way. We explored two other local options prior to our choice to go with Sun Driven, and we know without a doubt we made the best choice. Hopefully you do too! -
Professionals , local, great to work with, timely and fully licensed. Sun driven is so much more than a company. They are family. Sun driven was and has been in constant contact with me throughout the entire proses making sure I was taken care of. Even after the professional service of installation they continue to work with me to ensure my system is performing. I have never had this kind of support from a company. Being a Sun Driven Solar customer really means that you are entering a local, caring, supportive community that only wants the best for you and they won’t cut any corners to make sure of that!

A top-notch company contributing to a greener future!"

I would like to definitely compliment the professional solar system installation provided by Sean Waters and Cesar Acuna of Sun Driven. Every step of the installation was carefully planned and executed. They adhered to the highest standards of electrical and solar panel installations for an 11 panel 6x5 array. Sean and Cesar explained to me what they were doing each step of way. I sincerely appreciate their cordial, cheerful, and informative explanations. This team has years of experience and know what they are doing. I highly recommend the services of Sun Driven! Date of service 9/6/24.

Sun Driven Solar Company did an outstanding job with my solar panel installation! Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and provided excellent customer service from start to finish. After comparing multiple companies in Idaho, I found their pricing to be the best by far. The installation was quick and efficient, and I’m already seeing a reduction in my energy bills. Highly recommend Sun Driven Solar for their superior service and unbeatable prices! -
We purchased a PointGuard battery for our solar panel system. The sales person was courteous, professional and did not use high pressure tactics. The SunDriven team took care of every little detail for the installation and thoroughly explained operation of the battery system. It has been a pleasure dealing with these folks.

My Husband and I had been looking into the possibility of going solar for some time but had not found the right fit to make the leap. Then we met Janaya Edmonds and the rest of the Team from Sun Driven Solar. Big shoutout to Janaya whom really won us over with how honest and diligent she was. When a question came up that she didn’t 100% know the answer for, she made a quick turnaround of finding it and getting back to us. This included looping in her superior. Everyone we met from Sun Driven Solar was extremely courteous, eager to answer any questions in easy-to-understand detail, cautious about safety (covid), and were willing to work with our busy schedules. The whole process felt seamless, from the initial walk-through & estimate presentation to the Dividend Loan process, panel installation and “go-live” day. The solar panel placement was beautifully done, true artistry and attention to details.
The only hiccups we encountered were all from the Idaho Power company side. They incorrectly informed us that we would be double charged if we turned on the Solar before a certain date. After showing up and not having the right “part/equipment”, advised they would be back the next day. Almost 3 weeks of no shows from the Idaho Power Tech, we called and are told that they refuse to schedule date/times, nor would they give us notice before they show up, if they were planning on showing up. Robert Kelly from Sun Driven Solar was a huge help acting as the middleman with the Idaho Power and even got them to send out a Tech on the next business day.
Overall, we cannot be happier with the choice we made to choose Sun Driven Solar! They truly treat you like family. -
Your installer got put all the his boxes from his truck in our recycling bin. Now it's very full and we're a week away from when the recycle bin is picked up. Not happy.

Sun Driven Solar – A Game-Changer in Renewable Energy for Idaho!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I cannot express how thrilled I am with the service and installation provided by SunDriven Solar! From start to finish, my experience with this solar company has been nothing short of exceptional. Devin was my sales person, and he made the entire process a painless, pleasant experience. After researching various options since the company that installed my panels had gone out of business, I decided to go with Sun Driven for their stellar reputation, and I am so glad I did!
The installation team was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain every step of the process, answering all my questions with patience and clarity. They first checked that my existing panels and inverter were working efficiently , and even took over the 25 year manufacturer warranty from my previous installer! I was particularly impressed with how they ensured everything was up to code and functioning optimally before leaving my home.
Now, let’s talk about the battery system! It has completely transformed my energy usage. I can now harness the power of the sun and store it for when I need it most. My energy bills have significantly decreased, and I love the peace of mind that comes with knowing I have a reliable backup during power outages. The smart technology integrated into the battery allows me to monitor my energy consumption and production in real-time, which has made me more aware and proactive about my energy usage.
Since the installation, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with their customer service team, and they are just as fantastic! They are always available to assist with any questions or concerns I have, making me feel like a valued customer rather than just another number.
Choosing Sun Driven was one of the best decisions I've made for my home and my family. I highly recommend them to anyone considering solar energy and battery storage. Their commitment to sustainability, customer satisfaction, and innovation makes them stand out in the industry. Thank you, SunDriven Solar, for turning my home into a beacon of renewable energy! 🌞🔋✨ -
Sun Driven Solar did a first rate job from start to finish evaluating my solar panel system. Their installation of batteries for storing excess power was easy and efficient at every step of the process. I highly recommend them as a Company.
-
A door to door guy came by a couple days ago and asked me if I’d be interested in a no obligation discussion about getting a battery for my existing solar. The Salesman showed up at my house and hadn’t even been there 5 minutes and was already trying to get me to e-sign documents. Didn’t really take any time to talk to me about various options and tell me what the batteries really do; other than a very quick overview. All while telling me that the company who did my install is out of business (I talked to my salesman and they are not, they may have merged but are still very much in business)
-
Cesar took the time to explain the process of the new battery system and assisted in downloading it to our iPhone. He was very professional. We are quite pleased with how it turned out. Thank you Sun Driven and especially Cesar.
-
Very helpful with our issue. We are glad to have them help us with our solar power system. Highly recommend.

Jess was an absolute delight to work with. He was very professional and knowledgeable.
The installation was perfect and the system works well. -
I had the magic team come out to my place and had them install a new solar system and I was absolutely blown away with their professionalism and attention to detail. They kept me in the loop with all the details of the job. I can’t recommend them enough. Support local and you won’t be disappointed
-
Magic Solar was clear with the project with costs, timing, and execution of the project. The project was complicated. The only perceived delays were with permitting, which neither the company nor I had any control over. I would use Magic Solar again.

Joey and Jesse were great to work with!! Came out to service my existing solar system. Explained everything thoroughly and gave me a quote to add batteries to my system. Would highly recommend
