Cedar Creek Energy

The whole team at Cedar creek was awesome to work with. The process was seamless and felt easier than most home improvement projects. I would recommend anyone I know (or don't for that matter) to work with Cedar Creek on your renewable project! Now that my panels are up and my system is operational, I've been "nerding" a lot on monitoring the system's production throughout the day. I've never been so excited to get my next electric bill. :) Fantastic experience from beginning to end! Thanks, Cedar Creek!

Working with Cedar Creek Energy was great. They explained everything and made the whole process very easy. They even started and completed the project way ahead of schedule. I highly recommend them for residential solar panels.

The entire process, from sales, contract signing, installation and hookup up went like clock work. The installation crew exceeded my expectations. Being a newly constructed home, we are familiar with having many contractors around the home at once. Some are better than others. Cedar Creek's crew were punctual, respectful of our property, and always cleaned up after themselves each afternoon. I can't say that about all contractors. The quality of their work and products is fantastic. I wholeheartedly recommend Cedar Creek Energy.

Our group enjoyed working with Cedar Creek Energy. They are communicative, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. We would use them again for our Solar needs.

My overall experience with Cedar Creek Energy was outstanding! There were three aspects of the project that sum up the experience; scope, cost and schedule. First, I had been following the solar industry casually for about five years, but I was not prepared for all the specific material options. I received bids from five total installation companies which helped me identify some industry standards to guide my personal research. Cedar Creek was helpful in adjusting their offer to my preferred materials as well as providing multiple array size options. I moved in to a new construction home with a HOA so array size and design plans were critical for approval with the electric company and HOA. Cedar Creek were great partners in compiling what I needed which included some amazing aerial drone shots of my house that I otherwise would never have captured. Next, cost was certainly a factor in the decision making process. One thing to keep an eye out for if getting multiple bids, equalize the projected energy production between the bids. What I mean by that is, take the quoted annual production divided by the system size. Cedar Creek had projected the second lowest production average based on system size. You may think this is a bad metric, but I had already standardized the panels and inverters across the bids so the only input variable that was different was the projected production of the panels. Since the panels were the same across bids, that number should have been consistent. This indicated to me that Cedar Creek was more interested in giving me conservative/realistic production values for my calculation rather than inflated production numbers to get me to sign a contract. Once you have the average production value per kW, you can apply that average to all bids to get a better idea of who is truly offering the best value for the system size and Cedar Creek was a great value. Lastly, Cedar Creek handled the scheduling of everything. There would be moments where I felt like I should be doing more, but the project manager and sales manager were just on top of it all. I ended up selecting a finance company that Cedar Creek had no prior experience with and they worked directly with the financier to get set up in each other's systems. They had all their documents prepared for e-signature which was incredibly helpful during a pandemic. The project manager kept me informed on what would be happening and when. The crew was professional, polite and hard working. In fact, were it not for some supply chain challenges, everything would have been installed in a few days. It ended up taking a little under two weeks for installation, but I was kept afloat of the situation and Cedar Creek did everything possible to make it right. They handled the electrical inspection as well as the interconnection meeting with the energy company. One of the coolest parts of the whole experience was getting educated on the system after the interconnection was complete and seeing the meter indicate the system was sending power TO the grid! I am sure many of the other installers I got bids from are very capable and provide a great experience. However, I would recommend Cedar Creek to anyone based on all the criteria and examples I have laid out.
