Vantage Point Solar reviews

The Verdict
Vantage Point Solar has a serious track record problem. We found 16 reviewers whose panels either never worked or stopped reporting within months, and getting help from the company proved nearly impossible. One homeowner waited six months past installation just to get final inspection scheduled, watching electricity bills pile up alongside loan payments for a non-functioning system. Another had to spend three hours on the phone with the equipment manufacturer because Vantage Point wouldn't send anyone out to activate the monitoring gateway they'd promised to set up. The pattern we saw most often: fast initial install, then silence. Twenty-seven reviews mention unanswered calls and texts when systems failed or inspections stalled. One subcontractor claims the owner owes $24,968 for completed work and routinely breaches payment deadlines, leaving workers unpaid for months. On the bright side, 323 reviewers praised the physical installation work itself, and systems that do get activated correctly seem to perform well. But that's cold comfort if you're the one left with panels on your roof and no way to turn them on.
If you can afford to gamble on whether you'll be one of the customers they actually support after install, the workmanship looks solid. But if you need a company that answers the phone when something goes wrong, the dozens of ghosting complaints should stop you cold.
3 Stories That Stood Out
Stephen S. hired Vantage Point to redo his roof and install a residential solar system; the physical install impressed him enough that he would have rated that part five stars. What unraveled afterward became the main problem: months of silence, missed communications, and a system that wasn’t properly verified while his payments had already begun. His electric utility marked the system ready for final inspection on July 22, 2022, but Vantage Point stayed quiet. By December he began chasing the owner and sales reps; they promised to investigate but never followed up. When he pressed because his payments had started, a manager told him he had failed an initial inspection and that a tech corrected issues—information that never reached him directly. After persistent calls and texts, his utility finally notified him that the system had passed and he could operate on January 13, 2023. Even so, his January–March electric bills showed no reduction, and he was still paying the monthly solar charge on top of normal electric costs. No one ever came out to demonstrate system monitoring as originally promised, so Enphase support stepped in and spent three hours getting his gateway connected; V1
Cassandra completed multiple solar installations for the company and discovered a pattern of broken commitments from the owner, Alain. She and the crews ran into improper materials and repeated miscommunications about project coordination that persisted despite numerous attempts to fix them. Once installations were finished, installers and sales contractors were left waiting weeks or even months for payment because Alain struggled to secure bank funding and routinely missed payment deadlines, putting people in financial limbo. The team also ran homeowners’ credit checks without consent, which led to buyers losing bank contracts shortly after installation and further delayed the process. Alain’s approach came across as a disregard for contracts and payment timelines, with minimal support for workers and a tendency to shift blame when things went wrong. Cassandra learned hard lessons from the experience and found that online complaints mirrored what she encountered in person. The most concrete takeaway: she ended up owed $24,968 for services rendered — a stark example of the financial risk of working with this company.
Joe and Lora B. embarked on a year-long solar installation for their home and have been battling the contractor and his crew from the very start. They kept paying through the drawn-out setup because they didn’t want the process to damage their credit, but the project never settled down: the battery never worked, mounting holes were left in their brick outer wall where the solar unit was placed, and promised repairs never happened. The contractor initially agreed to fix the wall, then began shifting blame to his workers and eventually stopped answering calls—effectively ghosting them for months. Over the same period they discovered their electricity bill actually increased. What remains clear and urgent is twofold: the nonworking battery needs to be repaired or replaced, and the brickwork where the unit was mounted needs patching—yet they can’t get the contractor on the phone to resolve either issue.
