Highly recommended. Here are the details:When I decided to install a rooftop solar system on my Helena home, I sought references on quality companies (and ignored all the door-knockers). About a quarter of the homes in my subdivision have panels, and my neighbors named three companies. My cousin who works in the industry then mentioned Independent Power as a solid provider.I developed a list of questions and called all four. They all made it to the next phase of submitting a preliminary proposal and price. At that point I eliminated one of the Helena companies due to second-tier or lower equipment.The proposals from the remaining three companies – one in Helena, one in Missoula and Independent Power in Bozeman – were all solid. All Enphase inverters, with Tier-1 panels and good warranties. They then all took time to go through the list of follow-up questions I had developed and gave what I believe were accurate and thorough answers. All sent me spec sheets and warranty info on the equipment they proposed. All offered on-staff qualified electricians on their teams.Independent was not the cheapest in $/Watt or $/kWh, but was competitive. In the end, I chose them because they offered the highest-watt panels – their 430W Q Cells took around 15% less roof space for the same production. So some day if I need to expand, I’ll still have some room.Their on-site people seem outstanding, from the drone and attic visit to get exact measurements for design finalization, to their install team which included their master electrician who has been with IP for 16 years. I had a minor problem with the metering system on startup, which worried me since they are not a local company. They immediately dug in to it remotely, consulted Enphase, and when they could not resolve it from a distance sent the electrician back timely to work everything out.

Excellent service and craftsmanship. Sales was patient and answered all my questions, never pushy, it always felt like a casual conversation with a friend. The install team was friendly, skilled and efficient. Overall very happy with the process and product from start to finish.

Independent Power was great to work with. They always responded quickly to my questions before, during and after the installation of my rooftop solar panels. They always showed up on time and kept me up to date on the progress of getting the system approved. Sean even made a stop at my house out of his way one day when the Enphase app wasnt working correctly, and quickly fixed the problem.

Being new to off grid life was pretty challenging and exciting and Independent power made the experience a breeze. My experience with these guys was awesome. From beginning to end, their sales, engineers,electricians, technicians ,Installers knowledge,professionalism, craftsmanship the whole team, and their enthusiasm of dedication to solar is incredible.The project was finished by the way before the finish date !!!

Half of the time there was good communication and cooperation. However, turning on the system was delayed by well over a month because a new hire who took over my account did not file local permits and get inspections passed in a timely manner. To their credit I was given a rebate for the lost time.

IPS was responsive, professional, and extremely easy to work with. Would not hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone thinking about solar!

Great experience with Independent Power! Excellent communication throughout each phase of the project, both with the project management team and the on-site installers. Very pleased, and would recommend Independent Power to my Bozeman neighbors.

Very professional, with prompt response to calls and email. Some slight scheduling miscommunication, but overall a very good experience. I will most likely be using this company again for another home I own. I would have given 5 stars, but when asked to give a review before the system commissioning occurred is like asking for payment prior to services rendered.

The cost of unit and installation was thousands less than other companies. From beginning to end, everyone involved was friendly, prompt and professional. Thanks especially to Emily who stayed in touch with me the entire project. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you.

Quick quality install and very professional group. A little wait time, mostly paperwork but system is up and running saving us $$.
