Excellent customer service which you don’t see at this level much anymore. I’ve got panels installed and all is as planned. Would highly recommend (and this is not my first solar experience).

Our experience with Chris and Alice was great. They are a great team to work with. All our questions were answered. The process did not feel rushed and we did not feel pressured into getting solar panels. It felt like we were talking with friends. That made our decision easier to move forward in getting our solar panels.

Process was smooth and happened without a hitch. We had our system added last fall and this winter have been building credits with NV Energy rather than paying for power. Megan and the sales team were awesome and always there to answer our questions as they came up and explained all the options perfectly.

Am I satisfied? I’m beyond satisfied!
Alice and Chris were great to work with and designed my system to the exact needs of my living conditions now and for a future hot tub I am planning. The installers were professional and courteous and knocked the job out in just a few hours! I highly recommend Sun Source Energy for your solar conversion!

Tax Credits

The federal government provides a 30% tax credit on the value of your home’s solar system, with no cap on system size. Coupled with various state rebates, this makes solar energy the most cost-effective option. A professional solar energy contractor can guide you in maximizing these savings.

Why solar?

Predictability on Bill

Utility rates increase by an average of 4% annually. This means your utility bill will be at least 20% higher in five years. Why not secure your rate today by switching to solar? Solar energy acts as lifestyle insurance. As energy costs climb, solar customers can maintain their current energy usage without straining their budgets. In the future, those without solar will be scrambling to conserve energy or rushing to install solar systems.

Home Appreciation

Homes are among the safest investments. Why? With proper care and maintenance, they typically appreciate in value over time. Picture this: your real estate agent shows you two houses. One has a utility bill, and the other does not. Would you be willing to pay a premium for the latter, knowing you’ll never have to worry about costly energy bills again?

Happy customer

“I am extremely satisfied in my experience with Sun Source, after having received a glowing recommendation from my neighbor and deciding to head in the solar direction. Cannot recommend working with David enough – professional, approachable and knowledgeable – the information did not feel pitched or pushy, and the quality of work on all fronts is excellent. Very pleased, I highly recommend…and I’m picky 😜”

I would definitely recommend using Sun Source Energy and specifically reps Alice and Chris Barnum if you are looking for solar panels for your home. Alice and Chris were very nice and professional every step of the way and also managed our expectations as to how long the process would take which was an important factor to us. The pricing and the overall timeline that we were told for the project was as they said it would be. The best part if that now that the panels have been installed and are fully operational we only have to pay NV Energy a small connection fee every month, the panels take care of the rest (we bought them rather than doing the leasing option). Thank you to Alice and Chris Barnum or Sun Source Energy, you guys were great!
