Simple Energy Works made the whole Solar System design and installation process super easy for me, conducted themselves with integrity, and made obtaining documents and appropriate Solar Grants timely and flawless. I strongly recommend this company to everyone who is thinking of purchasing a Solar Energy System.
— Thomas Nosarzewski, OwnerRandy Velker at Simple Energy Works was very helpful. After purchasing a solar system kit from Simple Energy Works, the solar system was very easy to install. I had to call Randy with a question, and our problem was solved 1,2,3! Now I'm expanding our system three fold, and Simple Energy Works will definitely get our business again!
— Ted PolczynskiSimple Energy Works was quick to respond and easy to work with. Their Current Cost Energy Monitor allowed us at Washington University to run a low-budget dorm energy competition amongst our students!
— Will Fischer, Sustainability Director, Washington UniversityIt takes a bit of a leap of faith to invest in new technology when I bought my custom ground mount PV solar system from Simple Energy Works, but they were very helpful throughout the process from start to finish.
— Jean CheelyNo sooner did I place my order and the seller had sent me an email letting me know it was shipped. This is the type of place I like to deal with
— JosephIt's a good feeling to see my "clean energy machine" (solar system) doing its thing!
— JeanI got it in 5 days with the free shipping. The unit works great. We are able to see the power being used when items get turned off and on in seconds.
— Harry RWOW FAST Shipping. I Got my product in less than 3 days. I ordered 4 things and 3 of them were from Amazon and 1 from this seller. His came first and 6 days later I am still waiting on 2 of the Amazon products
