"We are super happy we chose Green Hat Solar for our recent install. Derrick was prepared from the moment he showed up. He had done research on outages in our area, the equipment we had on site (transformer, etc.) and was able to paint a very clear picture of the options available to us explaining pros and cons of each system, or options. He explained every step in detail and patiently answered questions. With his guidance, and his ability to sum up complicated information and options we were able to choose the best option for us at a significant saving compared to other estimates we had received. The installation process was seamless, and complements our home very well. Derrick was always professional and respectful of our property and took extra care to ensure everything was done neatly and to our satisfaction. Derrick has continued to check in with us a few times and has always made himself available to answer questions or address concerns. Our solar system is one of the best investments we've made in our home in recent years and far exceeds our expectations. I give Green Hat Solar my highest recommendation."
