Are you considering transitioning your home to solar energy? It’s important to remember that solar installers are not created equal. The barrier to entry is not extremely difficult, and with a little marketing and savvy salesmanship, it’s easy to fall victim to a less-than-ethical solar company. And sadly, many have. The reality is that plenty of new companies opening their doors will have to eventually close them due to inexperience in this regulated and complex industry. When that happens, customers are left with poor experiences and confusion about their warranties or servicing needs. Solar systems installed by out-of-business companies are referred to as “orphan systems.” Unfortunately, orphan systems are all too common, but fortunately SunnyMac is available to assist these customers. To help educate families about what to look out for, we’ve created this list of reasons to choose SunnyMac — a full-service solar provider.
1. We’re A Full-Service Solar Company
SunnyMac is an EPC solar provider, meaning we have multiple in-house teams managing the engineering, procurement and construction of your solar project. All of our site survey technicians, installers, inspectors, and more are SunnyMac employees. We also have back-office teams responsible for the administrative aspects of your solar project, including project management, design, permits, interconnection, tree removal, installation, and rebates teams. Our employees synchronize the work involved like a well-oiled machine backed by over 15 years of experience.
2. We Have a Long Track Record
SunnyMac has been in the business of installing solar since 2009. We have grown with the industry and remained extremely informed of all aspects, including township requirements, connecting your system to the power grid, maximizing energy output, getting you the rebates you deserve, roofing repair and replacement best practices, and more. There is a reason we are rated A+ by BBB, and that’s the quality we deliver.
3. Great Customer Experience
Our operations are streamlined to make each step of the solar journey as efficient and seamless as possible. If you choose SunnyMac, we require only a few things from you once the contract is signed. We handle all steps, and aim to make the process effortless, so you can sit back and relax. We have outstanding reviews on many platforms, including a 4.5-star Energy Sage rating, over 220 5-star reviews on Google, and a 4.6 customer satisfaction score with Owens Corning (250 reviews), so you can trust you’re in expert hands.
4. An Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Partner
Only 1% of roofing companies earn the Platinum Preferred level partnership with Owens Corning. This is one of the highest designations possible in the roofing industry. Roofing is fundamental to all roof-mounted solar panels, because it serves as the system’s anchor and support. Our roofing department is made up of approximately 50 employees, each experienced and trained to provide high-quality installations.
5. A SolarEdge Preferred Partner
SunnyMac has earned a special partnership designation because of our battery, inverter and EV charger installation track record. SolarEdge is an industry-leading American manufacturer of solar system components used in millions of homes.
6. We Offer Extended Warranties
We offer a comprehensive 25-year warranty on solar products and installation. That’s not all — if you choose SunnyMac to install a new roof, you can enjoy a 50-year warranty on roofing products, and unlike other roofing installation companies, we also guarantee our roofing workmanship for up to 25 years.
7. Rated Top Solar Company in the United States
SunnyMac received the national recognition of Top Residential Solar Contractors by Solar Power World. This designation proves not only our size, but also our commitment to stability and ethics in this industry.
8. Environmentally Focused
SunnyMac partnered with The National Forest Foundation to donate a tree to be planted for every solar installation we deliver and every tree we must cut down to maximize energy output for customers. We give back to local parks and communities regularly and provide opportunities for employees to volunteer during work hours.
9. We Are Local
One of the greatest benefits of choosing a local solar company is the familiarity with local townships and municipalities. Having connections and a strong track record with these groups helps ensure the requirements of getting your system turned on are met as seamlessly as possible. SunnyMac is proud to serve customers in DE, MD, NJ, and PA.
10. We Provide a Complimentary Savings Analysis
Do you have an interest in transitioning your home to solar energy? SunnyMac will provide a breakdown of your return on investment based on your unique historical energy consumption. We provide information to compare the cost of staying on the grid versus the amount you will over time by going solar. Even if you decide not to choose SunnyMac, you will leave with a thorough understanding of the cost of going solar and the energy production capabilities of your home.
