A great growing business
I wanted to share an honest account of my experience as a customer of NRG Solar, because my installation wasn’t straightforward and the way the team handled it really mattered.
The sales stage with Rob was excellent — competitive pricing, thoughtful design discussions, and a very quick install lead time. My setup wasn’t simple either: I already had a 4 kW system from 2012 with a 3.68 kW inverter and FiT payments attached. The new project involved replacing and expanding the array to 8.37 kW, upgrading to a 6 kW inverter, adding three 9.4 kWh batteries, and keeping everything FiT‑compliant.
As with most installs, not everything went perfectly. The scaffolders arrived on the wrong day when I wasn’t home, but Rob jumped on it immediately and had it rearranged within two days. The roofers often arrived later than planned, which made my own scheduling tricky, but again Rob stayed on top of it throughout.
Craig, the electrician, was outstanding. His workmanship is extremely high quality, and he even redesigned the setup around my Zappi EV charger so the new batteries wouldn’t discharge into it.
Around 2.5 months later, we’re still working through some FiT complexities because the generation meter was counting battery charge and discharge. Rob and his team have been fully engaged with multiple suppliers (Infinity Innovations, Hanchu, etc.) to get this resolved. The back-office team is clearly learning the nuances of more complex systems, and although there were a few MCS certificate errors along the way, Rob consistently stepped in and got everything corrected.
As of today, everything has been sorted — including adding another 9.4 kWh battery so I’m ready for a future inverter upgrade to 10 or 12 kW when they’re released.
Overall, I’d describe NRG Solar and Rob as a small but highly competitive company that genuinely cares. Communication with Rob is seamless at any time of day, including weekends, and issues get resolved quickly. It’s clear he’s investing in training his team so they can handle more advanced designs without mistakes. They don’t shy away from complex challenges, and based on my experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
