My experience buying and installing a DIY kit from Solar wholesale.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience after buying and installing a custom DIY 4.4Kw grid tied solar system from solar wholesale. My experience overall was superb!! Not everything went to plan but whenever an issue did occur, I simply called or emailed my project manager Brielle and she quickly found a solution with the rest of the solar wholesale team!!

Working with solar wholesale on my project was amazing!! They have a lot of experience helping first time solar installers like myself reach our goal of becoming a little bit more independent from our grid providers.
Getting a quote was extremely easy to do!! After filling out a questionnaire and providing a picture of our electricity bill. I was contacted by Jacob, one of their sales representatives. Jacob explained how the DIY installation process works and what I could expect from solar wholesale if we ended up deciding to go with them. I never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision 🙌🏼🫶🏼!!
Jacob recommended a 4.4Kw solar system that consisted of twelve solar panels and six AP system micro inverters. The size of a the solar system that he recommended was spot on with our yearly power consumption. I really appreciated the fact that he did not try to sell me on a bigger system like other companies that I reached out to did. I mentioned that I also wanted to install a battery back up system and after asking me a few more questions, he mentioned that they also had experience with adding battery back up systems to the custom plans that they provide!!

We agreed to move forward and we sent our deposit. Solar wholesale began designing our custom system. This is where I first started working with Brielle, our project manager. Brielle sent over the first iteration of how our project was supposed to be installed. They used satellite imagery of our homes roof to create the plans. I was never asked to go up to our roof to provide real measurements and this was something that I found strange but I just decided to trust them and continue to move forward with the project.

We sent them the final payment and solar wholesale immediately started getting our custom solar system ready for shipment 🚚!! Two weeks later we had a semi truck pull up to our home with everything that we needed to install the solar system. Solar wholesale literally sent everything that we needed except the power tools 👌🏼!! We proceeded with the project and decided to measure the solar panels and see how they would fit on our roof. Unfortunately this is where we ran into our first problem. The plans that they provided displayed two solar arrays consisting of six solar panels on each line of solar panels. From the measurements we took this configuration was definitely not going to fit on the top array. From the measurements we took we needed to install eight solar panels on the bottom array and four solar panels on the top array. After contacting Brielle to inform her on the problem that we ran into, she immediately stated working with the rest of the Solar wholesale team to see if we would need any additional equipment to install the solar system in the new configuration. They reached out to me extremely quickly and they informed me that no new hardware was needed for the new configuration!! Brielle sent me the new plans with the new configuration.

We moved on to the next step of the project, the permitting phase!! We submitted the plans to our city and unfortunately they didn’t get approved due to them wanting some things changed for the battery back up system that we purchased. Getting the plans to get approved took a couple of reiterations. The process was fairly long and really complicated but I was extremely happy that I had the entire Solar wholesale team there to help guide me through the permitting process. Their experience and knowledge proved to be invaluable throughout this part of the project!! Eventually the plans got approved and we were finally ready to begin working on the installation!!

The installation was fairly straightforward!! Everything was really simple to install since solar wholesale provided literally anything that we would need for the installation minus the power tools. This helped us a lot since there was no need to look for materials or look for any sockets or drill attachments. The installation took us roughly two days and everything went together exactly how the plans that they provided showed!! After we finished installing everything we scheduled the inspection from our city. A week later the inspector came to our home and we passed the inspection with flying colors!!

The only feedback and advice that I can provide is to make sure that you measure your roof, even if the team forgets to ask you for this information. In my case everything worked out fine in the end. The same might not happen to you so take the time to measure your roof to avoid any issues down the line 📏 !!

Personally I would highly recommended going with this awesome company!! They were very responsive throughout the entire process and they went above and beyond to make sure that we succeeded in completing this awesome project!! I really appreciate the time and effort that the team put into our project!!

Please feel free to ask any questions below!! I am not affiliated with this company, im just a customer sharing my experience with solar wholesale 🫶🏼!!

My post got taken down.

Hi everyone, I’m new to this group. I recently made a post giving my review of the process I went through when installing my DIY solar system from Solar wholesale. It got taken down and i am just wondering what I did wrong? I DM the mods earlier today but I have not heard back from them. If any one has any idea of why it got taken down I would greatly appreciate the feedback. A couple of members said that it was written like AI but I try my best to write my post as clearly and with as much detail as possible!! This post took me about half an hour to write and im pretty bummed out that it got taken down. It was getting a lot of traction and personally I felt like it was a helpful post for new DIY solar installers like myself. Thank you for reading and if any one can tag a mod that can give me advice I would greatly appreciate it!!
