RisingSun Solar

I spent several months learning about solar and researching solar companies. I got proposals from five different companies. I chose Astrawatt for two reasons. One was their Google Reviews and the other was Bryan B. He provided me with more information about their company, solar in general, and what would be best for my house than anyone else I spoke with. I was looking for a ground mount system. It was recommended by another solar company that I use an adjustable ground mount rack. Astrowatt did not install that product but in working with Bryan B., they agreed to learn, train and have their team install it for me. Best thing I ever did. The Astrawatt crew who erected my system learned all about the installation process and I must say Alex and his team did a great job. I now have a 16.2 kW system that I can adjust for maximum returns on my investment.

Thanks Astrawatt!

Whether you already have solar OR are thinking about installing panels. Our panels are 11 years old, and I’ve needed to call them twice.
This company, ESPECIALLY Adam Houp is awesome. They have responded to my calls and provided quick service. I think Astrawatt is lucky to have Adam representing them. I highly recommend this company to buy and or need service. Buddy Merritt

Great installation staff, terrific communication throughout the installation. Top notch materials and a thorough explanation of the Solar Panels and the switches. Final inspection now approved by the City. Now just awaiting Evergy installation of the new meters and we will be good to go! Thanks Astrawatt Solar.

Great communication; from the quoting stage to install someone was easily accessible and quickly answered any questions I had. The installers were super tidy, they didn't leave behind messes like other contractors have in the past.
Excited for my power company to install the net meter so I can flip the switch to go solar!

I am now as of today able to finally write this review because my solar system has finally been turned on! I wanted to wait until it was active to give my full honest opinion of this company and the whole process. Astrawatt from the start was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Throughout the whole process (which is lengthy) I was kept in the loop about everything that was going on from their end. From drawing up the plans, to reaching out to the city of Eudora (my utility company), to scheduling the install. On the day of the install, the team showed up right on time and got right to work. I want to give them a special shout out because it was unfortunately one of the hottest days of the month, and they got right to work and got everything installed by about 1:30. The only hiccup in this process was after the install, the city of Eudora was not quite satisfied with a certain part of the system. They kept insisting that there be a transfer switch, even though the system comes with an automatic rapid shutdown in case of emergencies. Alex, the master electrician from Astrawatt went to bat for me and reminded them that the system was completed 100% according to the plans that THEY approved, which included this rapid shutdown deal. So I give Astrawatt an A+ for dealing with that and finally getting the city to approve it and pass the inspection. Unfortunately (through no fault of Astrawatt) it took almost another month and some back and forth with the city to get their solar meter installed. Overall this was a great experience and I highly recommend Astrawatt for their professionalism and communication. I plan to expand my system in the future by adding a whole home battery backup, and I will definitely use Astrawatt for that. Great job Astrawatt! You have another satisfied client!

I have an existing solar system and I wanted to add Enphase Battery backup and SPAN. My solar installer did not have Enphase battery products so I searched for Enphase installers on the official website. Astrawatt Solar was at the top of the list and a Platinum-rated installer to boot. Lucy, their sales executive was very personable and attentive. Scott, a co-owner was prompt, knowledgeable, and kept me apprised of every step. He even let me borrow a generator to keep my fridge and internet on to work from home during the install. Jaime's installer team had a clean install inside and out and cleaned up the work area thoroughly every day. The Enphase battery backup system is running smoothly and provides power when the solar panels are not producing. I would recommend this company to anyone.

My panels are officially ON and I am HAPPY. I shopped through many companies and Rhody at Astrawatt stood out the most. He helped me understand the other bids I got and even found many errors in them. Besides being the most knowledgeable, his pricing was very fair. Megan- the project manager is a great communicator and the installation process was smooth and fast. There are many roofing companies dabbling in the solar business and I found that their prices were the absolute highest and they knew the least about the equipment they were selling. They also didn't seem to have a very good plan for service/maintenance on the panels or it was done through a 3rd party. I really like that astrawatt is local and services their own work with a 25 year warranty. With the new forced Evergy plans it finally made perfect sense for me to make the switch. I am paying less for my panels every month than what evergy wants to charge me for a flat rate and my offset from the panels so far even in the winter has been very impressive. I cannot wait for summer to see what these babies can really do! Thank you Rhody and the astrawatt team!!!

Tyler and his team performed an installation at my house. The overall quality was the best I have ever received from a service company performing work at my home. Despite some unexpected obstacles they were still able to get the installation completed. When the local city inspector came by to review the work, he commented that this was some of the best workmanship he has seen. Tyler was very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions we had during the process. I would highly recommend Astrawatt to anyone looking for services they provide, you will not be disappointed!

My solar adventure started with requesting quotes from many companies in the area. Rhody Harris got back to me faster than any of the other companies, wasn't pushy, respected that I had done my research, and spent our time filling in the gaps in my knowledge about SOLAR instead of their COMPANY. He was trying to sell me on solar, even if I didn't end up going with them. You can tell he truly loves solar.

Astrawatt was super cost competitive, despite using the best technologies solar has to offer! The IQ8M microinverters and REC panels are top of the line. Many competitors tried to sell me on cheaper inverters and panels for the same price.

It also helped that they had the best loan options with no absurd fees. The loan I opted for was through Credit Human, which has simple and reasonable interest rates, comparable to personal loans. They also didn't try to sell me on using MACRS on a residential system in order to stay cost competitive.

After I was approved for the loan I was connected with Megan Hail, a project manager. She had wonderful communication and kept me in the loop the entire time.

A project coordinator, Desmond Poirier, came out to my house and took measurements of the roof with a drone and crawled up into my attic. I was able to supply him with engineering plans of the roof that I requested from my builder.

Megan continued to keep me updated as the engineering plans were approved by all of the required entities, and scheduled my install.

The Chris Roach and the other installers showed up before the materials and began checking things out. Once the materials arrived they cut a 3 day job into 2. They cleaned up after themselves and when they left you wouldn't have even known they were there!

My job was a small install from Astrawatt, from day one I was treated like my job was important. Reid asked me what I was wanting from a solar system and planned out a system for me To Megan who helped with financing and scheduling my project. Finally Chris and the installation crew came in and installed the system in six hours. Chris saved me money on a service panel. Once every was done Chris showed me how to work the app for the system and how to maintain the panels. Start to finish a first rate company.
