Curated reviews from verified YellowLite installs across trusted platforms.
YellowLite was professional and efficient, installed everything in a single day and left no mess behind. They handled all approvals and set up the system to power our home, charge the battery, and send extra energy to the grid. It was an exciting experience!
- Robert Ruff
We had a 5kW rooftop system with Tesla Powerwall battery installed earlier this year. Very pleased with the process from beginning to end. Everyone we interacted with were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and prompt. System works flawlessly, and our electricity bill has been $0 since the system went live.
- EnergySage Shopper
I went with Yellowlite for my install and they were excellent from start to finish! They are very responsive.
- Reddit User
I had YellowLite install an 11KW system with a Powerwall in Cleveland two years ago. The setup was complex, but they handled it well and the system’s been running great. When a trenching issue came up later, they were responsive and fixed it quickly. Brian in sales and Jerome as project manager were both great to work with.
- Business Owner, Loveland, Ohio
YellowLite installed my 36-panel system (covering 91% of usage) in Feb 2020. I haven’t paid a utility bill since and still have a $500 credit. For an all-electric home with AC at 72°F all summer, that’s huge. I compared 4 quotes and YellowLite offered the best performance and was $20K cheaper. Install took less than a day. The SolarEdge app tracks real-time energy generation. If you're financing, payments often match your current bill, then it’s free power for years. Highly recommend.
