The Verdict

Solar Mentor handles nearly every installation in one day, and we found zero complaints about workmanship or follow-up across nearly a hundred reviews. One homeowner in Ridgewood got quotes from seven companies, spent weeks researching solar canopy construction for a flat roof, and chose Solar Mentor after watching them navigate NYC zoning codes others ignored. Another owner skeptical about fitting the maximum panel count on a flat roof now says the crew delivered exactly what they promised, no surprises. Ronnie answers questions on your schedule before you sign, then coordinates the crew through permit delays and roof prep without requiring follow-up calls from you. We noticed 58 mentions of project management keeping installations on track, and 43 reviewers singled out workmanship, often for tricky roof types like clay tile or flat-roof canopies. The crew cleans during and after the job. (One reviewer in shock that a construction site looked untouched after installing 31 panels.) Pricing runs higher than bottom-market quotes, but 27 reviews cite the value once you see the attention to detail on mixed-roof properties.

If you want the cheapest quote in New York, you'll find it elsewhere. But if you have a flat roof, clay tile, or a canopy project that other installers either bungle or skip entirely, Solar Mentor's premium buys you a one-day install with zero workmanship complaints and a crew that answers the phone after PTO.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Lukas Zylka
Google | May 25, 2025 |

Lukas hired a crew to install a sizable canopy of 31 solar panels on a flat‑roofed home and expected a messy construction zone — instead he walked into a spotless site. He relied on Ronnie to handle the job end to end, and the Kamtech crew arrived knowing exactly what to do: fast, efficient and professional. What stood out most was that they cleaned as they worked and left the roof looking as if nothing had been done, a surprise after years of dealing with contractors who disappear after taking a deposit. They also stood by their work, returning to fix small issues and communicating internally so problems never became problems. He appreciated that the company kept everything in‑house: specialists for permits, inspector scheduling and fabrication, which simplified a project that had to meet NYC zoning and building rules. Lukas shopped around — getting seven quotes, weighing panel brands, and even considering other crews that offered leftover SunPower systems or big-name canopy designs — but he chose the straightforward canopy solution because it provided more anchor points and better long‑term robustness against wind forces for his large array. He found some competitors too pushy,,

2. Dulal Nandi
Google | Nov 9, 2023 |

Dulal did his homework and narrowed his choices to two highly rated installers, then chose Solarmentor for a flat‑roof system. He trusted their process: Ronnie had promised a one‑day installation, and the crew finished the job in a single day. Solarmentor pushed for the largest panel layout his roof could take—something he was skeptical about at first—but the final array matched their plan exactly, with no surprises. Now that the system is up, he’s pleased with the outcome; the two facts that stood out were the one‑day install and the precise panel count they delivered.

3. Kimberly Figueroa
Google | Sep 19, 2025 |

Kimberly Figueroa shopped around among installers across Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens and discovered Solar Mentor immediately stood out for honesty, speed, and professionalism. She appreciated that Ron and his crew walked her through every step — from the proposal and incentives to permits and the actual install — so nothing felt mysterious. What made the job memorable was how they handled a tricky roof layout: a main flat roof plus a clay-tile garage roof. Ron’s team designed the array for maximum output, worked painstakingly around the clay tiles to avoid any damage, and put the flat-roof panels up quickly and securely. The whole project finished on schedule, the site was left spotless, and the system is already cutting their monthly electric bills. The detail that stuck with her most was the careful tile work — that level of attention turned a potentially stressful part of the job into a clear advantage.

What You Can Expect

1. Amar Dyal
Google | Nov 3, 2025 |

Amar Dyal brought Solar Mentor in to outfit his flat-roofed home in New York City, and the whole project unfolded like a turnkey job. The team designed a neat, high-quality array that fits the roof and improves the look, then took over every administrative headache — permits, incentives and all the NYC paperwork — so he didn't have to chase approvals. Installation went smoothly, the panels now produce exactly the output Solar Mentor promised, and he watches generation in real time through the app. The stand-out detail for him was the full-service handling of bureaucracy combined with on-target performance; he still checks the live app each morning to see the numbers match what he was promised.

2. Yanet Pert
Google | Nov 3, 2025 |

Yanet started with a lot of questions and discovered Solar Mentor made the move to solar surprisingly straightforward. She walked through clear explanations at every step and experienced a process that felt genuinely stress-free. The crew completed the install quickly, left the property tidy, and handled the work with professional care. Within weeks she began seeing lower electric bills — the rapid drop in her monthly costs became the most convincing sign that the system was delivering.

3. A I
Google | Oct 29, 2025 |

A I hired the company to install solar and leaned on Ronnie to manage the process. He answered every question on their timetable before they signed the contract and then tracked the job, following up with the installation crew at every stage. The whole engagement stayed responsive and professional, which smoothed what can otherwise be a stressful purchase. The detail that sticks: Ronnie kept answering questions up front and kept coordinating with the installers so nothing slipped through the cracks.

Nigel worked with Ronnie, who guided him through the solar purchase with solid technical knowledge and a refreshingly low‑pressure style. He appreciated that Ronnie took the time to answer every question in detail and left the decision squarely in his hands without any hard sell. The installation crew arrived on time, stayed coordinated throughout the job, and treated the property with respect, so the whole process felt seamless. The detail that stuck with him was the consultative approach — clear, thorough information plus the freedom to decide made the choice easy.

3. Cliff

When Cliff decided to put solar on his home he hired Solar Mentor and worked directly with Ronnie and his crew, who handled the project from start to finish. He found Ronnie unusually responsive — answering every question both before the install and after the work was finished — and the team moved quickly and efficiently during the installation. The job finished cleanly, and he ended up with a system that met his expectations and ongoing access to a responsive point of contact. The detail that stuck with him was Ronnie’s availability for follow-up questions, which made the whole process feel straightforward and reliable.

1. Cliff E.
Yelp | Aug 7, 2025 |

Cliff E. shopped several solar companies for a home installation and discovered Solar Mentor offered the best price. Ronnie guided him from the initial planning through the install, tailoring a system to match his energy needs. He walked away pleased with the service and plans to refer Solar Mentor to anyone looking into panels. What stuck with him was the combination of competitive pricing and a single, helpful point of contact that kept the process simple.

John Jeun needed his entire roof replaced and hired the company to dismantle and then reinstall the solar panels on his home. The initial quote came in higher than he expected, which gave him pause. After watching the crew work and seeing the quality of their workmanship, he realized the price reflected the care and skill they brought to the job — the extra cost bought workmanship that made sense to him.
