Best Solar Installers in Greenville Kudos

Firefly Construction Group's trades run from the roof on down. Solar installation and roofing handle what's up top, HVAC and electrical work cover the systems inside, and general contracting rounds it out.

Solar is the headline here, but this Upstate company takes on electrical work too, along with supplying solar equipment and servicing solar systems.

U.S. Energy Solutions works across three trades that often overlap on an energy project: solar installation, heating and air, and electrical work, with general contracting on top of that. For Upstate property owners weighing solar, that range means the panels, the wiring behind them, and the heating and cooling side can all go through one company.

Peak Roofing & Solar handles roofing and solar installation out of Greer, two jobs that often go to separate contractors. That combination matters most when an older roof needs work before any panels go up.

Gold Path Solar keeps the whole job in its own hands. The same team that designs a system installs it, with no subcontracted crews, and one Solar Advocate stays with each customer from consultation through permits, utility interconnection, and switch-on. Home systems typically pair Enphase microinverters with Qcells or REC panels, so the shaded corner plenty of us have under Upstate trees doesn't drag down the whole array. Battery backup is planned around the circuits a household wants running in an outage, and commercial systems for businesses, farms, and nonprofits are sized with demand charges in mind. The company is employee-owned and keeps an Upstate office serving homes and businesses across South Carolina, alongside its work in Ohio and Kentucky. Customers often name their advocate in reviews and point out how cleanly the install crew worked.

A good share of RCC Solar's reviews come from homeowners who never called about a new install. A system another company put in had quit working right, sometimes after that company went out of business, and Roberto and his crew took it on and got it producing again. New work covers rooftop and ground-mount arrays, battery backup, off-grid setups, EV chargers, and even small wind turbines, built around equipment from Tesla, Enphase, SolarEdge, SMA, and Fronius. The company, also known as RC Construction Solar, has been family-run out of Greer since 2008 and works across both Carolinas. Reviewers keep landing on the same few things about Roberto: he is straight with people about what a system will and won't do, he shows up when he says he will, and the yard gets left clean.

LGCY Power operates in several states, and here in the Upstate, its Greenville branch puts a local team behind the company's solar panel installation.

This local company installs solar panels for those of us around Greenville who are ready to start making some of our own power.

Detail Solar will work on solar panels it never installed, which matters for anyone around here left with a Pink Energy or Power Home Solar system and no installer to call. The same team builds new home and commercial systems, adds batteries, fixes storm damage, and pulls and resets panels for roof replacements. They cover Greenville, Greer, Taylors, Travelers Rest, Mauldin, Simpsonville, Fountain Inn, Easley, Piedmont, Anderson, Clemson, and Spartanburg, and take repair calls statewide. Founder Paul Zimmer Sr., who the business says was South Carolina's second NABCEP-certified professional, helped bring the first solar power to the outer islands of Yap in Micronesia years before the company opened in 2014. It is still family-run, and its own crew does the work, not subcontractors. Reviewers keep coming back to being walked through every step, from equipment and financing to permits and the Duke Energy approval.

Solar installation is the main focus of this Pendleton Street company, which also takes on roofing work.
