I understand this was posted by Waheed Anwar from Pakastan that he was mad at his wife, marital issues and took it out on Brant he said. Waheed said he would remove this post but he could not remember the email address he used.

Waheed I was glad to hear your wife took you back, treat her well!

I've worked here for over 10 years and can attest the statements made here are not true!

Sam, I agree, there was confusion with your original order between what the lender approved and what we were doing. We apologize for that misunderstanding on our part.

I'm glad we got the additional solar modules installed for you as promised and we appreciate the referral of Bruce Aho. I know you were given two additional solar panels for referring him, thank you for doing that. Also, FYI, I understand Bruce called and said he had a referral for us.

Referrals are a huge part of our business!

Sometimes you find out more about a company when things don't go perfect. I've worked here 10 years and know we bend over backwards for our customers every day!

Yeah I know them also. Don't let them into your house. You will regret it.

Representatives from this company have been very patient and responsive to me. I have requested to have this posting deleted by the editor of this site.

This company is very responsive to their customers.

They wanted close to $5,000.00 to install just the "reflective" aluminum sheeting in my 2000 sq ft of attic space.

I can purchase 2000 sq ft of a product that is identical in construction but almost twice the thickness for $275.00.

$4,725.00 to lay this stuff down in my attic? I don't think so.

We were convinced of the benefits of the SolarTek shield previous to attending their presentation since we have used reflective technology successfully in the past. I have to say this, our electric bill has already gone down in just the first year, and the temperature inside of our house has remained much more comfortable.

The attic stays cooler and much cleaner. So far, we're happy. No complaints at this time. I'm sure you can purchase the materials and do it yourself much cheaper.

Having someone else do it (labor charges) is always more expensive.

With all the hills, valleys, squeeze-through spaces, and precarious crawl overs of our attic because of cathedral ceilings, things that needed to be attached and reattached, contents of attic removed and replaced, etc., neither my husband nor I would have attempted the job ourselves. We were given interest-free financing with a reputable company.

Nothing has worked because of unresponsiveness to correct installation and scheduled appointments (no shows or responses to request for service) for 2011 and no savings as shown by my study. Requesting a refund of investment for the service.

The products this company sold me have reduced my winter bills by $142.00 and my summer bills by $68.00. It is sad that people save money and still arent happy. We are very pleased with our purchase.

If any of you out there actually believe the people that are standing up for this company please think hard and figure out they are part of this scam. Yes!

It's a scam! Total BS! Nothing more, nothing less. Unfortunately they scammed my elderly parents and here is what they did for them.

Nearly cost them their lives as the POS box nearly burnt down their house. I am currently seeking legal assistance and trying to track these scammers down, one by one.

We went to their dinner on Monday night and when they came out to our home we looked them up before purchasing. We are glad you posted what you did, you probably saved us alot of headaches.

When the men came to our home there just seemed like something wasnt right about them. Thanks again.

My friend purchased from them and has told me that Criminal charges are being filed against this company. This company needs to be shut down. It is deplorable to prey on the elderly.

Which Solar Tek company did you have the problem with. Where are they located? I understand that they have offices in multiple locations.

WENT TO THE DINNER, VERY IMPRESSIVE, BUT IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT ISN'T.

HOW CAN A CAPACITOR STORE ENERGY TO BE REUSED?????

Actually the company is a very good company..First off.. The optimizer will store power and will lower the amp output on your electricity, so when your running appliances and so forth( fans, AC, Heat, dishwasher, Washer, Dryer, Purifiers..etc) It will lower the load of amps to your appliances..

My father has one and saves around $26 a month on electricity alone. The company backs EVERYTHING up with a guarantee. I have the shield and my heating bill was around $2000 a year, this year it went to $832...That is pretty amazing. If the products are installed properly they WILL work.

I am proof of that. All you ever hear about is the negative. Yes..In some situations people get screwed and a job poorly done sometimes, but I watched the installer put the material in, he explained everything perfectly to me. His name was Collin he worked in Mass.

He was excellent.

Great products and company!!! Highly advise people to hear them out if they have the chance.

I went to one of their dinners and after checking them out threw their reps out of my home. They do not appear to have a contractors license.

I am from the old school though, if it seems too good to be true it most probably is. Do yourself a favor, ask them to produce a valid contractors license prior to doing business with these people.

Also ask for their insurance and bonding information. Good luck to you all...God Bless

I have no opinion on this because I know nothing about the company. But for those of you making a decision for yourself, go with your heart.

Understand that anyone can put anything on the internet with any validation. All of these posts could be the same person with many online alias'. Or it could be a disgruntled ex-employee.

It oculd be anyone. These sites are mostly BS.

Amazing. I have looked this company up on numerous BBB web sites and can not find any legitimate complaints and all of these postings are void of any facts. It appears that a competitor is posting things to hurt a company that has done no wrong.

This posting is not a relevant posting and was posted by mistake. It does not accurately reflect this company's business practices. I have requested that this posting be removed and it is in the process of being deleted.

Optimizer = ludacris! My father in law called as said he went to one of these 'dinners' and then called me and asked my opinion of such a thing as an 'optimizer' for AC.

After about 15 minutes, I stopped laughing and told him I'm sure the sales person has plenty of land in Japan he'd like to sell. From an electrical engineering standpoint; TOTALLY BOGUS

They say they work with GE but have no paperwork showing that. Why would the govt.

only give rebates to just a few instead of everyone like they did with the insulation rebates last year?

No official documentation to back up anything they say. Just too fishy.

About 10 years ago, we bought a "Green Plug" which did what the optimizer is supposed to do. Our reps were very professional and even advised to go to a Big Box store and buy the silver water heater jacket, so no pressure there.

My attic is ***...literally. It has an 18 inch by 18 inch crawl hole to get into it. NOBODY, except a Reese monkey can get into my attic. Someone would die up there trying to install insulation.

So, as much as I enjoyed the dinner, no sale. Eventually I would love to get a small house or a trailer and do all the things these guys were talking about.

We've researched a lot of what they were saying and we found their information to be on the Up and Up. Research Self-Sufficiency for yourself.

First, non-specific observations: Nowhere on the invitation letter did it mention SolarTek (so one cannot check them out). The letter only mentioned "reduce your utility consumption" - a very broad statement. When we arrived I noted that all the attendees were over 50 (most over 60). When asked about it, the speaker claimed ignorance (now really!!). The speaker did not allow any questions. That is, he refused anyone to challenge his assertions. He refused to give any cost estimates, not average for house, nor cost of fixed items (like the voltage optimizer). One can only get those things by the visit. Finally, although he wasn't overtly high pressure, he said that they would only be in my MA town that next day. So he attempted to pressure us into signing up for the analysis available only 'tomorrow'.

Anyone who is interested should first check out what the better business bureau (bbb.org) said. They gave them an 'F'.

Now the specifics. They have this reflective aluminum flexible sheet which they claim will cut 25% of the heating bill. He demonstrated it with a heat lamp. It appeared to work. D'oh. A heat lamp gives off light. Light is reflected by aluminum. I agree. But my attic is dark, even on the hottest, brightest summer day. No light. No reflection. His demonstration used a 6" insulation but he did say that the probe was placed 'in the middle' of it. The insulation may work perfectly but if the probe is next to the heat lamp, then the insulation is only show. If a thin sheet of aluminum would save 25% of heat loss/gain wouldn't Dow-Corning sell it attached to their insulation?

He talked about something like a 'voltage optimizer'. He claimed by smoothing out the spikes and brown-outs we'd be able to get a 25% reduction in our electrical bill. Voltage regulators do not produce free electricity. Nor can they help brownouts, they only damp out the spikes. I'm not an electrical engineer but it sounded like magic to me. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If voltage regulators worked like that, wouldn't Home Depot sell them?

They sell a reduced flow shower head. As of 1992, all shower heads are reduced flow. He claimed regular shower heads used 6 to 8 gallons of water. As of 1992 all shower heads use less than 2.2 gallons of water. All.

He also talked about a water heater jacket. When my water heater was recently installed I asked about a jacket and the plumber said the heater already had a large amount of insulation. Feeling the outside of my working water heater, it is warm, but not hot. Again empty claims.

He talked about an attic fan. I actually have one and it works great. His used a solar grid (appx 18" square) to power it. Mine uses a 110 volt half-horse power motor. A small grid can only power a small motor. Therefore his fan is little more than an extra vent. Probably useful, major savings - I think not.
