Acro Energy is best in class for quality of residential solar installations, according to a new independent statewide survey.

Burnham Energy, a premier solar consultant to businesses and governments, inspected several Acro Energy residential solar system installations in four different regions of California. The inspections included a detailed review of every electrical and structural component, along with extensive photos of the solar installation and a report card that grades each of the 12 major components that determine system longevity and performance.

Acro Energy’s solar installations are “very sound” and uphold “the highest solar industry standards,” according to Burnham Energy. “We found no items that needed improvements, and in fact every item we inspected was judged outstanding.”

To eliminate potential bias, Burnham Energy inspectors did not know whose solar power systems they were examining. Customers were told that they had been chosen for a random inspection as a part of an overall quality program. These inspections were not conducted on behalf of Acro Energy, and Acro Energy was not involved in selecting the systems that were inspected.

“Our installation crews take great pride in their work,” said Brad Kovnat, Acro Energy’s vice president of operations. “We have arguably the fastest turnaround times for residential solar installations in the industry. It is even more gratifying to be recognized for our quality workmanship.”

  About Solar Shingles

  Green energy is a growing trend that helps the environment and can save you a lot of money over time.  Nearly every neighborhood in America will have at least one or two homes with solar panels on the roof, but some homeowners will resist adopting solar power simply because of the look of the panels.  Furthermore, although your homeowners insurance will cover your solar panels, installing anything onto your roof can often void your roof's warranty, discouraging some would-be solar converts.  This is where solar shingles come into play, and this new spin on a well-established technology makes a lot of sense for any homeowner considering the switch to solar.
