The Verdict

Premier Solar Solutions is a safe bet for a straightforward install, not a standout when things go sideways. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a consistent pattern: the crew shows up on time, puts panels on your roof in a few days, and you see an immediate drop in your electric bill (one homeowner went from a $375 monthly budget to under $26). Thirty-three reviewers praised the workmanship, and 29 called out the project management as smooth and professional. The company handles permits and utility coordination without drama, which matters when you're navigating unfamiliar paperwork. Where Premier distinguishes itself is post-install support. When an inverter failed during the early pandemic lockdowns, the company replaced it and reimbursed the customer's electric bill for the lost production window. That level of follow-through showed up in 15 reviews. The flip side: we found one review describing a sales rep who turned hostile when the customer asked for more time to decide. It's the only sour note in an otherwise polite sales process, but worth knowing if you plan to shop around.

If you want a crew that installs quickly, cleans up after themselves, and doesn't vanish after activation, Premier Solar Solutions delivers. If you need a company that will chase down a faulty part and cover your bills while they fix it, the track record suggests they'll show up.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Mo “DJ Mofire” Myers
Google | Jun 17, 2020 |

Mo “DJ Mofire” Myers had Premier Solar install a SolarEdge array nearly four years ago; the crew left a very tidy installation and set up a mobile app so he could monitor production yearly and “down to the minute.” Everything ran smoothly until recently, when an inverter failed right at the start of the coronavirus shutdown. Premier Solar tracked down and reinstalled a replacement inverter, and — unusually — reimbursed his electric bill for the period of lost production. He walked away most impressed by that follow-through: prompt hardware replacement combined with compensation for the outage during the pandemic.

2. Scott L.
Yelp | Jun 21, 2019 |

Scott spent six years chasing down why his Long Island electric bill kept climbing, interviewing every local solar company and walking away frustrated by sales pitches and inflated savings estimates. He finally connected with Chris Hoffman, Premier Solar Solutions’ owner — who, while on vacation in Phoenix, called back within 15 minutes, took a 45-minute phone call, and delivered a clear proposal the next day. Chris laid out what installation fit Scott’s needs without trashing competitors or overselling promises, and that straightforward approach convinced him to move forward. The install itself unfolded quickly and smoothly: crews arrived when expected, completed the work efficiently, and walked Scott through the whole process from start to finish. The outcome cut his average balanced-budget electric bill from about $375 a month to under $26 a month, even accounting for many rainy days on Long Island. He left his contact email (mediamansml@ gmail .com) for anyone who wants to follow up, but the detail that lingered most was the owner answering questions on vacation and delivering honest numbers the very next day.

3. Ray T
Google | Sep 8, 2022 |

Ray T was weighing a residential solar proposal and asked the salesperson for extra time to evaluate his situation. When he explained that need, the company's residential representative grew belligerent during the exchange. He left the encounter and posted a one-star review.

2. Rocco
SolarReviews | Jun 13, 2016 |

Rocco hired Premier Solar Solutions in the spring of 2015 to outfit his ranch-style home with a solar system. After walking through several application options, he settled on a design that fit both his budget and household needs. Premier managed a careful project-planning phase, then carried out the summer installation exactly as planned with a well-trained, hardworking crew. The team completed the install in two days, handed over a clean, functioning system, and walked him through the system’s capabilities and concrete steps to maximize savings. What stuck with him was the combination of a fast, flawless installation and a practical, hands-on debrief that showed how to get the most from the panels.

3. Jon Huberth
Google | Apr 7, 2022 |

Jon Huberth followed a friend’s recommendation — an industry expert — and hired Premier Solar Solutions to put solar on his home. He found a team that paid close attention and kept him informed at every step, from scheduling through commissioning. When questions came up they answered promptly, and they returned afterward to confirm the system was installed correctly and performing as promised. Their professionalism and ongoing service made a strong impression, and he wouldn’t choose any other installer. The most memorable detail was their responsiveness and the post‑install follow‑up that ensured everything was working to his satisfaction.

1. Sean Ness
Google | Jul 9, 2020 |

Sean had solar panels installed on his home a few years ago by Premier Solar Solutions and awarded them five stars. He experienced a smooth permitting and installation process, paid a very competitive price, and ended up with equipment that's performed reliably ever since. He hasn't dealt with a single problem — the system hums along quietly, and the only time it crosses his mind is when the monthly electric bill arrives around $12. The detail that sticks: years of trouble-free operation paired with a shockingly low power bill.

2. Christopher Sasso
Google | Jul 8, 2020 |

Christopher considers his Premier Solar installation the best financial decision he’s made for his home. He had the system put in five years ago and has watched it get more productive over time — today it produces more than in its early years and keeps his average electric bill under $15 a month. The installation crew worked neatly and efficiently, leaving the property tidy. The memorable result he walked away with: higher production after five years and a steady sub-$15 monthly bill.

1. Matt Zaffuto
Google | Jun 9, 2021 |

Matt had Premier Solar Solutions put panels on his home and came away thrilled. Rob and Kyle ran the install with a friendly, courteous professionalism; Kyle even paused to play with his dog while on the roof. The crew finished the job quickly and far quieter than he expected, and he noticed the yard actually looked cleaner when they left than when they arrived. He ended up excited to start cutting his electric bill and shrinking his carbon footprint with the new system — and what stayed with him most was how tidy and considerate the team was throughout the whole process.

2. Hoi Yee Liu
Google | Jun 19, 2020 |

Hoi walked into a tricky retrofit: old, obsolete solar panels, a leaking roof, and a request to add 1 kW of capacity for future expansion on their home. Premier Solar took the whole job on—roof replacement and new panel installation—and Jonathan Mizrachi stayed involved at every stage, following up until each phase met expectations. The team handled the paperwork and permits, coordinated the project manager’s submissions, and even justified the extra electrical load to PSEG so the additional kilowatt could be approved. Work proceeded on schedule and wrapped up in a timely way, and the homeowner ended up with a replaced roof, a modern solar array, and a user-friendly mobile app that displays production in real time down to each panel—a per-panel monitoring feature they found especially valuable.

3. james barbarino
Google | Oct 22, 2019 |

James discovered a major problem with his home solar system after another installer had done a poor job. He felt stuck until the company's team stepped in, came out to inspect the array, and began diagnosing the issues. They've taken responsibility and are actively working to correct the installation mistakes — the thing that stood out was that the crew actually showed up, examined the system, and committed to fixing what had been botched.
