Wanted Solar, needed a new roof. Quandary is no roofing company would insure a roof with solar so you have to do them together with the same company. I therefore explored Penfolds which does both. I met with Michael and he was very good in down-to-earth explanations on what to expect, how things work. He was a great sales guy. Super personable, informed and just plain nice! I was impressed with his solar report that via satellite can determine the maximum sun output on my roof in various areas over the last 20 years. I live in the woods so I have lots of shading; but even so, the output indicated was a solid advantage. I am happy with my product. Penfolds team were super super hard working and really cleaned up well after the job. I had this done in the heart of winter (?!?!) and that was scary for me but, it went seamlessly and fast and well here I am. Only a few misery moments: the endless balls of "crumble" from the asphalt shingles which got on my glass atrium and into my gutters creating a cement goop that now has solidified in all my gutters below the very very expensive foam inlay I just put in last year. So I can't budge the foam out to clean it (cemented) inside and who knows what its doing to the flow of water. That sucked. 2nd : my drywall where my new panel was installed had two massive cutouts that were left for me to tape, mud, sand and paint. This is not something I can do so having to hire someone to fix damage does not sit well with me. Last, I am wifi sensitive and insisted that nothing interfacing with solar be wireless. I was assured that and indeed my interface (info box) between my solar and meter was "wired" in but the box cannot disable wifi which now is an unsightly box wrapped in aluminum to hinder emitting frequencies. So there you have it. The pros and cons but the bottom line is the installation and professionalism and end result of what they promised to do was done exceedingly well. I recommend these guys and this company.
Meanwhile, my roof looks awesome, did I say they cleaned up impeccably; the Master Electricians are indeed Masters and also extremely hard workers. The whole work team were truly "machines" in getting the job done. So happy .
