Batteryless Grid-Tie

Everything came in on time or before expected, and the total cost was less than the original estimate, thanks to a reduction in the cost of the solar panels which they passed on to me. Without the slightest hesitation, I recommend Positive Energy to anyone who wants to take the reins of their own energy consumption.

This solar investment has given my wife and me a new feeling of gratitude for the sun and electricity and for the possibilities of sensible innovation and technology.  We feel more connected to and responsible for our earth and the well-being of future generations. Confidence in a long-term sustainable investment outweighed the short-term "sticker shock". 

The young people at Positive Energy helped us older folks feel welcome as part of the solution to, instead of the problem of, energy use and production in this country.  Plus it's a kick to watch the electric meter spin backwards!

This is a letter of thanks. Nada mas. We have had work done on our home numerous times, however, the installation of the solar tracker and 14 modules, the initial in ground electrical prep and the follow through from you and PNM were, by far, the most painless of projects we have undertaken. We would highly recommend your company to anyone interested in solar electric and hope to have many opportunities to do so in the future.

It was a pleasure to work with the several Positive Energy personnel I came in contact with. They are young, bright, and dedicated to the work they are doing. An expert making a presentation on PV specifically recommended Positive Energy

Not only did the company exceed my expectations, but I would go so far as to say that dealing with Positive Energy ranks among the best experiences I have ever had in dealing with a company for clarity, efficiency and punctuality. They heard what I wanted and delivered me more than I expected.

This company had to review the work done by another contractor who had failed to complete its work and had committed several errors (code violations and other problems... All the work went very well and reasonably quickly with good communications throughout the process.

On the first day that we walked into Positive Energy we recognized that these people knew what they were doing and believed in the product, the process and themselves… The cost was exactly what they said it would be. The estimate of output was conservative if anything because in the 80 days after installation, we generated around 10% over expectations... I am extremely happy with the results… If you are looking for a company to install your system, you search is over. Oh, and welcome to the real twenty-first century.

Positive Energy is a terrific company and I couldn’t be more pleased with the installation. The staff were exceedingly friendly and knowledgeable, they kept me well-informed at every step of the process, and their work and attention to detail showed a craftsmanship that is extremely impressive. These folks are motivated as much by their desire to protect the environment as they are by the need to earn a living. I’d recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone interested in a PV installation for their home or business.

Commercial

Positive Energy, Inc. has provided excellent service every step along the way, including the minimal amount of warranty work required. In fact, we would rank them among the very best subcontractors we have worked with over the more than twenty years that we have been in business. They provided very high quality professional workmanship during the installation of the PV system. They were very cooperative with our company and worked well with other related subcontractors and with our tenants at the building being served by the PV system. …We highly recommend Positive Energy, Inc. to all others that may be considering the installation of a photovoltaic system.

In this day and age it is rare to find a company like Positive Energy. They do busin ess the way it used to be done, with integrity and commitment. I wish there were more companies like Positive /Energy, not only in the solar energy field, but in every field.

We have had this system in place for over seven years, and Positive Energy has been always responsive and always knowledgeable; always provided top-notch technicians; and have made absolutely certain that the system functioned properly at all times. Nothing but the highest praise.

All I can say now is:

I am a former space scientist at Los Alamos and am accustomed to working with teams of professionals that are the best in their fields. I can honestly state that I believe the folks at Positive Energy are true professionals and are the best in their field. I have many friends and acquaintances who have attempted to put together their own solar PV systems. None work as well as mine.

and the maintenance of the system is minimal. It was a real pleasure working with such competent

A note of appreciation for your redesign and installation of our new solar electrical system. We are enjoying the new system which is giving us more energy than we had before. We were sure glad to have had your expertise in the development of the new solar system. We want to thank you for a job done so professionally.

Positive Energy helped me in my time of need. I was without power and Positive Energy came to my aid and did an excellent job. I would recommend them to everyone. They are extremely professional and experts in the field of photovoltaic systems. You do not need to worry about them finishing on time or doing excellent work. I am very proud of my system and it is because of Positive Energy’s excellent work.

Positive Energy upgraded my older marginally working off-grid system and turned it into a very efficient no problems works-like-a-dream system! They never tried to sell me a new system because they were able to upgrade the original one so that it is totally reliable and very easy for a non-tech person like myself to use.

Positive Energy has been assisting me in upgrading our PV system for the past eight years. Their professionalism, quality of work, and ability to explain what is necessary and why is greatly appreciated by my wife and I. I have recommended Positive energy to others in our neighborhood who are off the grid.

Thank you for arranging my visit to Linda Spier’s home. It was important for me to see and understand how inter-connected photovoltaic systems work. I am encouraged to see the positive partnership that has developed between your firm and PNM as a result of your work.
