Had a salesman yesterday. Told him I had to get on a work call and he continued to try and get my number and to come back in "10 minutes" which, again, work call. I told him I didn't have the time and that i had to get my son after so he said he would be back around 5pm. 5pm rolls around, some other guy BANGS on my door 3 times and keeps yelling "HELLO" - I don't answer. Then I can three phone calls and a text message. I get that this is how they get sales but the persistent selling, banging, and attempted communication is too much. When someone says no thank you it means "No". Also, I was told their company was Spartan X and then shown a review for Spartan Solar. Update: 10/8 - both guys returned. They knocked (dog barked) told them no and slammed my front door - I hate that I'm unable to keep my front door open to let in fresh air... white tesla, FL plates.

I had THREE no soliciting signs in front of my house, yet he persisted. Kept saying he wasn't selling anything. Nothing comes for free dude. He was polite but kept insisting I listen. Makes me angry.

The only positive experience was the sales pitch…. from there it’s been an absolute NIGHTMARE. The day of the install went…. okay, I now have pink spray paint covering a lot of my garage floor and lawn mower along with a few additional “mistake” holes that were drilled through our newer siding and left for us to patch. But that’s not even the worst of it. Granted we got our solar panels installed in November 2025. So we didn’t see much production from them. But when spring came and it was their time to shine……almost half of them broken immediately. We had 44 panels installed in November. And in April, 21 of them were not reporting. For MONTHS this dragged out. Different techs coming and going to fix the issue. Some leaving and saying it was “definitely fixed this time”. Some coming to look at our solar panels and not bringing a ladder to access them on our roof and immediately leaving. We have asked to speak to a supervisor twice. And nothing. We got “lucky” in August and a tech FINALLY fixed our issue(so we thought). While almost half of our panels were not reporting from April to August we still paid for our panels plus a BGE bill. No supervisor was ever reached. Now as of October 2nd 2026(4 days ago) 11 of them are not reporting. SPARE YOURSELF! Please! AN ACTUAL NIGHTMARE!

Aggressive door to door salesman. I politely told him that I wasn't interested and he said he'd be back in an hour to talk to my husband. I again told him I wasn't interested and he said, "okay I'll come back in 2 hours". I again said no and he said "okay 4 hours". I sternly stated that he wasn't listening to me, that we aren't interested and to not come back. I also pointed out the no solicitation sign he was standing right next to. He claimed he wasn't selling anything and I stated that I know he is and I know the sales tactics being used. He still wouldn't leave and was questioning what I meant by sales tactics. I was no longer going to engage in conversation with him and began to feel unsafe by his demeanor and refusal to leave so I again said to not come back and slammed the door. Thankfully I have security cameras which recorded the whole thing so if he comes back he will be trespassing and I will take action.

Luke Short was the one who told us about Solar.He gave us alot of information and took his time as we are in our 70's and told us step by step what to expect. He is a good guy and knew his business. The installers were great also Jim and Renee Brooks

All of my questions were answered initially and there was no pressure. I can contact my technician easily by phone. The install was smooth and the technicians very polite and respectful. Looking forward to years of savings on electric bills! I’m very pleased with my decision to go solar with Spartan! I don’t normally like salesman at the door, but this time I’m glad I answered! Thank you Spartan Solar.

Please be aware of this company. they will make promises that they would follow through with. If you do decide to get their system, please beware that any damage cause by the company, it will take them longer than needed to address the issue. I've now had a huge hole in my ceiling that's been this way for two weeks. And still no call to when they are scheduled to make the repairs.

Michigan homeowner and DTE customer here. Spartan Solar/SpartanX left me feeling misled by the sales presentation and disappointed by the installation and follow-through. Our agreement is a 25-year LightReach power purchase agreement, not panel ownership. It starts at $122.77/month, with a 16-cent/kWh solar rate increasing 2.99% annually. DTE charges remain separate. The representative described exported solar as “crossing out” DTE usage and said we would “no longer have a DTE bill.” When my wife specifically asked about paying both companies, his explanation focused on us increasing consumption beyond solar production. But under DTE’s Michigan inflow/outflow program, WHEN you use electricity matters. Excess daytime solar earns a lower credit than the full retail rate charged for electricity drawn later. Producing close to your annual usage does not automatically eliminate DTE charges. We were also discouraged from adding a home battery. The representative quoted $14,000 and said, “I don’t think that’s worth it yet,” because prices were falling. The discussion centered on outage backup, and I acknowledged we had a generator. What was not made clear was storage’s separate role in everyday savings: keeping daytime solar for evening use instead of exporting it for less and buying electricity later at retail rates. A generator does not solve that mismatch. Batteries have costs and do not automatically pay for themselves. But before steering us away from one, Spartan should have shown us TOTAL costs with and without storage based on our usage patterns. To be fair, the paperwork DOES disclose inflow/outflow billing and two bills, and the representative briefly acknowledged a lower return for excess power. My complaint is that the spoken presentation repeatedly framed this as replacing DTE with cheaper electricity. I was also told excess power would be refunded in April at 16 cents/kWh, which does not match DTE’s current credit-bank explanation. The roughly $77,000 in projected 25-year savings depended on assumed DTE rate increases, including 6% annually in the long-term comparison. Those are projections, not guarantees. Installation brought more problems. Tracking showed Orlando while our home is in Michigan. Scheduling messages were confusing, and timely clarification was lacking. Cutting and drilling locations were not adequately explained, preventing me from protecting belongings. Mortar and dust were left behind, plus black sealant on a freshly painted wall that I scrubbed myself. Attic storage panels were cut without discussion, with removed pieces and wood shavings left over my belongings. Discarded zip ties, metal, and wire were left around the property, including the backyard our dogs use daily. Monitoring initially showed one panel producing nothing. A crew later returned without advance notice, leaving my wife, home alone, to receive two unfamiliar workers needing access inside. That should have been scheduled. We had two project managers within weeks. Since the handoff, replies have been limited. Monitoring has shown disconnection and no production, without clear answers about why the shutoff was left off, what approvals remain, or when operation should begin. Qcells support has been more responsive than Spartan. I understand inspections take time. That does not excuse poor communication, unannounced visits, or installation debris. Keep copies of sales presentations, projections, and messages, as I have. I retained a transcript of our sales conversation. Michigan homeowners should insist on written TOTAL solar-plus-utility costs, with and without storage, based on their utility and usage patterns. Clarify conflicts with the contract before signing. I am not claiming a full year of measured financial losses. I am saying the sales explanation left me with a materially different understanding of this commitment, followed by unacceptable cleanup and poor communication. I cannot recommend Spartan/SpartanX.
