Our experience with Empowered Energy was fantastic. They were professional, helpful, and reasonably priced. We really didn't have to do anything as they covered the design, net meter application, install, and ongoing monitoring. Now we're 100% solar powered and reaping the ongoing benefits.

We had a great experience with Empowered Energy Systems. The customer service was fantastic start to finish and they spent a lot of time with me making sure all my questions were answered. I felt very comfortable with them and loved the fact that they are a local company and employee owned. I would definitely recommend!

We purchased our home two years ago. The previous owner worked with Empowered Energy to design and install a 20 panel system to power an electric boiler for in-floor heat, electric stove, and hot water heater plus refridge and lighting. The system is sized so perfectly. We were a little concerned when we moved in thinking that the previous owner was a single person and we were a couple. But after two years, we have paid only $180 the first year and $100 this year over our base charge for electricity. Brad's crew helped us download an app to monitor the system and we noticed one panel underperforming. Even though the system was not purchased by us, Empowered worked with the panel company and installed a new panel at no charge to us. This was eight years later! We did need minor maintenance that was not covered by warranty. The crew was responsive and reasonable in costs. I give them five stars for follow-through, ethics, and professionalism. This is the company to choose for the long run.

I had two other solar proposals in hand before I called Empowered for a quote. One from a GJ based company and the other was from a CA cloud based company. In the end, I decided to go with EES for a number of reasons. One being, they are fairly priced, the second, they never use sub contractors for installations, and most importantly, they are locally based, so I knew if there was an issue I wouldn't be waiting, weeks or even months for assistance. The longevity of this company was also a deciding factor. I didn't want to sign up with a company that would leave my system orphaned in a few years, forcing me to scramble to find an installation crew to get my system back up and running. Thanks EES and congrats on celebrating your 20 years in business! Cheers to 20 more years!

Our system has exceeded our expectations. Thank you Empowered Energy Systems. Through the entire installation process you kept us aware of what was happening.

We recently had the pleasure of getting a solar system designed and installed by Empowered Energy Systems. Everything from the estimate to the installation and the final cleanup was done with the utmost professionalism. Highly recommended!

Good afternoon. As I have stated in previous conversations, I am requesting that you make the agreed upon refund of $2,500. To remind you of the process, you increased my loan with Goodleap by $2,500, so that I could pay the deductible for the roof installation and you would promptly give me an additional refund for that same amount. I accepted the proposal and the lender made me sign a new contract increasing the 2,500 to the value of the loan. Now I have been trying for several months to get that money back as we had agreed, but they tell me that they can no longer return it because they built a patio in my house and that it cost $2,500 and that expense was not included in my contract. This seems very strange to me because I have not seen any patios built at my house. I asked for photos of the patio or for someone to come show it and then no one answers my calls or messages. I'm still waiting for my refund because my lender already gave them the money to pay me.

In October we got a proposal from Empowered to install 18 new panels and re-align six existing panels to give us a 7.1 kW grid-tie system. They estimated a mid-January installation, and with my prior experience I figured on a mid-February operation date after CO inspection and DMEA meter work Delightfully, the outstanding installers arrive 12 Dec and were done 14 Dec. CO inspected on Friday/15, and DMEA did the meter Tues/19. CO and DMEA were just great. On the day after winter solstice, the system was cranking 5.6 kW (for a nominal 7.1 system). The performance of the system, as well as everyone I met at Empowered, has been superb. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Our experience with the Empowered team was to notch from providing clear and comprehensive proposal, to coordinating with our electrician, to personal safety and turning the system on with the utility. Highly recommend using them as the PV experts in the valley.

Empowered Solar was very informative and took the time to explain there product. The cost was very reasonable with a quality product. I highly recommend them.

What a great experience I have had with Empowered Energy Systems! Everyone from Kelly, their business manager to JJ, the project manager, to the installation crew, Joseph,John, and Matt were always professional and courteous. Thank you Empowered Energy Systems!

The solar system is quite impressive. I was given a thorough explanation going into the project. I am equally impressed at the expediency of the Empowered installation crew. They were prompt, efficient and thorough with the workmanship. Thank you so much, we are excited to be producing clean electric power.

I have known the owners since 2005 and installed my second system with them this year. It was a great experience - they provided a detailed quote, kept me up to date on any deviations from the timeline, and installed when they said they would. I am impressed with their attention to detail and safety.

Wish all contractors were like Empowered Energy Systems From the initial contact through the final installation of our Solar Electric (24.8 kw) System Empowered was first class! Each person we interacted with showed up on-time and was focused how to make the process work for us and for their team. Prior to the installation starting, the project manager J.J. came to our house and walked through the complete process and gained an understanding of the house and its unique challenges along with working out all the little things that would make the project go more smoothly – where to park work trailers, attic access, electrical connections, porta potty placement, etc. The crew was great to work with, communicated what was going on, and adjusted the panel placement to maximize solar production (+5%). They worked extremely hard in the hot Montrose sun. Every day they cleaned up after themselves and when they were done the area looked like it was before they arrived. We knew the next steps in the process were certification and DMEA meter replacement. We were able to turn the system on less than 3 weeks from the start of the installation. The system is functioning as originally designed. Great Job Empowered!! Have interacted with so many contractors as we work to remodel/restore our house and Empowered makes most of the others look like amateurs. We highly recommend Empowered Energy Systems for anyone considering a solar panel option.

We really enjoyed working with Empowered Energy to help us get solar panels installed at our house. We now generate more electricity than we use and couldn't be happier we chose Empowered Energy. It is also very reasonable with the Federal Tax Credit for solar panels.

Empowered Energy Systems was an absolute pleasure to work with. They just finished the solar installation on our home in Paonia and did an excellent job. The communications from Kelly were timely, clear, and consistent on all of the logistics. The Project Manager JJ was also great with his communication and explanation on all of the equipment that was installed. The wonderful team members that did the actual installation were super pleasant & worked in the crazy heat to get it all done. Would highly recommend their services. Thanks again!

Very attentive project managers and a quick working, perfection minded installation crew. This is a fantastic local business that is a wonderful presence in the North Fork Valley and Western Slope. Couldn't be happier with the end product.

Everybody I worked with on this installation - from the initial Sales; to the installers, to the people on the phones and in administration - all were a pleasure to work with. And all did a great job. This is my second installation that Empowered Energy Systems completed, and both were done in a timely and efficient manner. I couldn't be happier with their work.

Great company. We chose Empowered Energy to install net metered solar on our Hotchkiss home. Wonderful, friendly, professional staff. We were impressed with the teamwork of the installation crew, great safety practices, and quality work. We are so happy with our sun power. 🌞🌞🌞

I had install solar power systems on both my home and my business> Everything about this was a very good experience. The work crew are just great people and went above and beyond. HIGHLY recommend!

Wow!!! We just received our first monthly electric bill and we saved a whopping $165.00 when we compared it to last year's bill. Needless to say we are very pleased, especially since the cost of our system was much less than every other solar contractor's bid for our system. The project was professionally handled from the first site visit to the final "flipping the switch". Empowered energy systems out of Hotchkiss is definitely someone you can trust for all your solar power needs. Thanks!

Empowered is a thoroughly professional organization. Knowledgeable sales staff, qualified installers, project manager and owner. All were open and friendly. If you're looking at solar, choose Empowered!

We're now a few months after installation. We couldn't be more pleased with the company and with the system that their crew designed and installed.

Empowered Energy Systems recently completed a solar installation for us. The system was successfully completed on schedule and on budget. The sales and installation staffs were great to work with from start to finish. We were especially impressed with their adherence to safety protocol during the project. We think the system should allow us to diversify our energy sources as well as act as a hedge against potential energy cost increases in the future.

From my initial questions about whether solar was right for me through the final details of getting my new systems up and running, we had a great experience with Empowered Energy Systems. The estimate was clear and thoroughly explained regarding costs, financing, and tax benefits. Despite Empowered being extremely busy, scheduling was on time and well communicated. When it came time for installation they were efficient, professional, and did a great job of educating us about our new system. We've had a few follow-up questions, and they are always quick to respond and explain things clearly. We have installed systems on both our business office and at our home and couldn't be happier.

The staff and installers at Empowered Energy were courteous, knowledgable, professional, and were more than happy to answer my many questions. I especially appreciated how promptly they responded when contacted. Best of all is watching my meter run backwards and enjoying the savings on my electric bill.

We love our finished project! ALL staff was extremely knowledgeable as well as helpful. We are especially excited about the amount of energy and money we are saving... well worth the investment!

BEST PRODUCTS, ON TIME AND ON BUDGET! PROFESSIONAL AND BEST OF ALL GREAT COMMUNICATORS. WE KNEW THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS WHAT WAS GOING ON AND WHEN. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

These people are great any solar things you need they are very qualified for, have been working with Brad for 15 years

Fabulous is all I can say. As the inevitable construction delays occurred, Empowered Energy kept our project on track for gaining the 2019 tax credit!
