Axium Solar exited the residential market and left customers stranded. Three homeowners we analyzed describe receiving a form letter shortly after their 2017 installations notifying them that Axium would no longer service residential clients. When their SolarEdge inverters later failed, the company Axium referred them to couldn't or wouldn't help, leaving them with broken systems and no recourse. One customer put it plainly: Axium took the money and ran. We found another pattern just as troubling. Two reviewers describe installation crews who left nails and loose wiring on the roof, installed grounding systems the homeowners questioned, then offered just a one-year workmanship warranty when pressed. When one customer asked what happens if lightning fries the inverters after year one, the installer's answer was that the homeowner's insurance would cover it. The few positive reviews we found date from 2016 to 2018, back when the company still served homeowners. Those stories don't matter now if the company won't stand behind the work.
If you're researching Axium Solar for a home installation, know that they stopped servicing residential clients years ago. Former customers report being referred elsewhere for support, only to discover that the referral company can't help with inverter or battery failures either.
Cheryl bought a residential solar system in 2017 that included a SolarEdge inverter and three Tesla batteries, and soon after received a letter from Axium saying they would no longer service residential customers. She was steered toward another company that was presented as taking over all service needs, but when the inverter later developed a problem that company proved unable or unwilling to work with SolarEdge to get it fixed. Over the years she discovered there was no follow-through from Axium — the installer collected payment, exited the residential market, and left clients wrestling with warranty and service gaps. The standout issue is the unresolved inverter problem and the difficulty of getting anyone to coordinate with SolarEdge, a situation that leads her to warn businesses to think twice before partnering with Axium.
Keng Y. hired the company for a rooftop solar install and ended up dealing with what felt like sloppy, dismissive workmanship. They found crews smoking on the property and leaving cigarette butts, cut wire, nails and cables scattered on the roof — including nails right next to the solar deck where roofing had been removed. When Keng asked the crew to clean up, the crew refused, saying they weren’t in the business of cleaning, so Keng had to pick up the debris himself. Technically concerning mistakes followed: a missing connection support left a rail spanning about 8 feet instead of the intended 4, and grounding and cable runs were initially left draped and loose, with some cables actually touching the roof. The company later returned and fixed some of those issues, but Keng remained uneasy about the grounding layout. Instead of replacing a broken grounding run, crews added new wire that crossed over the main ground without continuous connection, creating what Keng saw as a loop; the crew insisted this met code. When Keng raised the risk of fried inverters, the company replied that any damage would be covered by Keng’s own insurance. They provided only a one-year workmanship/warrnty
In the summer of 2016 April Carne hired Axium Solar to put panels on her home. She discovered the array was neat and unobtrusive, neighbors complimented how it looked, and she enjoys watching production in the SolarEdge app; early CoServ bills point to a break-even in about 10–11 years. After reaching out to four installers, she chose Axium because Andrew Whitehead came across as knowledgeable, professional and unpressured—answering all her questions without pushing for a quick decision. During installation the mounting brackets were placed incorrectly and the crew initially brushed off her concerns; Whitehead agreed they were valid, arranged for Axium to cover the required roof repairs, and the company returned promptly to relocate the brackets. Installers consulted her before resuming work to confirm correct placement, and the project finished properly with minimal issues. The lasting detail: Axium accepted responsibility, paid for the repairs, and corrected the installation so the system both looks good and should pay for itself within a decade.

John picked a home solar installation and came away very satisfied with the work, the follow-up service, and the team's technical know-how. He was paired with Andrew Whitehead, the company's business development manager, who guided him through the process with a personable, informed approach. Andrew never pushed upgrades or extras and patiently answered every question, which kept the experience straightforward and low-pressure. What stuck with him most was that clear, knowledgeable point of contact who handled the details without overselling.

Rusty chose Axium to install a residential solar system on his home five years ago. He ended up with a system that has run flawlessly ever since, delivering steady performance without interruptions. The memorable part of the experience was the installation quality and attention to detail — the careful workmanship that shows in five years of trouble-free operation.
Bruce chose Axium to install a 37-panel rooftop system and ended up with a setup that held up over time — largely because the company stood by the equipment. A few years after installation the microinverters from his batch started failing; Axium honored the product warranties, arranged replacements for the troublesome model, and frequently went the extra mile to resolve issues. Even when the labor warranty had expired, the crew kept helping until problems were fixed. What stayed with him was not just a solid install but Axium’s persistent follow-through on microinverter failures and post-warranty support.
Cheryl F installed a residential solar system in 2017 with a SolarEdge inverter and three Tesla batteries. Soon after the install, she received a letter from Axium saying it would no longer service residential customers and directing her to another company, which left the impression that all future service would be handled for her. When the SolarEdge inverter later developed a fault, she discovered the referred company couldn’t—or wouldn’t—work with SolarEdge to fix it, and Axium was no longer available to help. She came away feeling Axium had taken the payment and moved on years ago, leaving her with a paid-for system and no reliable service provider for a critical component. The image that stuck with her: a 2017 system with three Tesla batteries and a failing inverter, but nowhere to turn for a fix.
Randy Salsman brought Axium Solar in for a recent solar project at his property and watched as the team arrived on schedule and delivered exactly what they promised. He noticed the installation crew had strong technical know-how, worked efficiently, and paid attention to details throughout the job. When the work finished, the crew cleaned up thoroughly and left the site tidy, leaving him with the precise outcome he expected — on time, competent, and spotless.
Cheryl purchased a residential solar setup in 2017: a SolarEdge inverter paired with three Tesla batteries. Shortly after the install she received a letter from Axium announcing it would exit the residential market and directing customers to another company that was presented as a full-service replacement. When the inverter later developed a fault, she discovered the referral firm couldn’t help — SolarEdge proved difficult to work with, and the replacement company would not or could not coordinate with SolarEdge to support Axium’s former clients. Left without a reliable service path, she felt Axium had effectively walked away after taking the payment years earlier. The most striking takeaway: owning quality hardware didn’t matter when the installer exited the residential business — she ended up with a failed inverter and no one willing to manage the warranty or repairs.
Dyal Saini has had a residential solar system for four years and discovered it has run without any problems during that time. He experienced customer service that could be a bit slow to respond, but whenever he called the company they did call him back. The memorable takeaway: a dependable, trouble-free system over four years, paired with support that’s occasionally slow but ultimately responsive.
