I had The Home Depot install a 10KW solar system on my house for the cost of $82,000.

IT WAS THE MOST FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD DOING A HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECT!!!

The project took 15 months to complete, when I was told by the HD salesman it would take approx. 4 months. For the 15 month project duration, I continually had to endure incompetence, project mismanagement, and was down right lied to on numerous occassions!

The Home Depot was not even involved other than providing financing and the letter-head on the contract. There was a total of seven companies involved in the project, and they all pointed the finger to the other guy when something went wrong. When I called the Home Home Depot to complain, they didn’t even know who I should talk to, and just forwarded me to the subcontractors I was having the problems with in the first place!

I would be more than happy to talk to any potential Home Depot customers about my frustrating “Home Depot Solar Panel Project Experience”.

Definately do your research before signing on the dotted line…

Hi, just noticed this post from last month! I’m with Sunflower Solar, and actually found your website while searching for info on green screens. Funny!

We are serving Home Depot stores in the area. 12 of them, to be specific!

The equipment choices are very limited when you buy through the Home Depot, but it is good stuff. BP 200W modules (which aren’t generally available yet), and rebranded Xantrex inverters. We decided to partner with Home Depot and BP partly because we knew they would be speccing quality equipment.

Price wise, there is a fixed price for the systems. Less room to negotiate, but the prices don’t fluctuate like everyone else’s (including our own bids). Their price is usually right in the middle. Not a low-price leader, but not expensive either. Just basic, quality systems at a reasonable price.

Anyway, thanks for the information about DIY green screens! Let me know if you run into any crazy solar questions, we got into the business because we like it, and are happy to chat.
