It feels odd to do a review a on 50K purchase.
At the moment, I cannot say that I recommend ERUS Energy. I am actually dreading my summer electricity bills, and the payment of the solar panels.
Yes, everyone at Erus is very friendly, and when you call customer service, they are very professional and helpful, however, friendliness has nothing to do with the delivery of very expensive purchase.
The contract for the installation of the panels was signed on 11/2021, I had to constantly email the project manager for an update on the installation because they would not update me on their own.
The panel install did not start until 05/2022, and the project was finally finished in Nov. 2022, a year after we had signed the contract. In the meantime, I had to pay for both the loan for the panels, and the normal electricity bill.
When we first talked to the sales person, she gave us an estimate of how much power we would generate. She draw a layout of how many panels were going to fit on top of the main house, and in order for the system to produce the amount of power she had promised, additional panels were going to be installed on the roof of a guest house; so we signed the contract based on that energy production estimate and layout.
The sales lady told us that in order for the panels to be installed, the roof of both houses had to be in good condition.
We replaced the roof on top of the guest house for the panel install and an inspector came to verify the condition of both roofs; however, the panels were not installed on top of the guest house. I have inquired about this a few times with our project managers, but so far, I haven't gotten a response.
When the panel install was finalized, I received an email from our project manager congratulating us and that was it.
We never had anyone walk us through how the system works, how much power it was producing, how much power we are sending back to the grid, warranty, battery, Nothing! I do not see a battery on my system so I do not know if we have a battery.
We've only had the panels working for the cold season but it seems like my electric bill has not changed from previous winters. I live in AZ, so there is no excuse for my electricity bill not changing; it hardly rains here.
Again I reached out to my project manager at Erus, and after a few days she replied telling she was no longer my project manager, and she directed me to my new project manager. I sent an email to the new project manager. After a few days, the new project manager informed me that upon the completion of the panel installation, Enphase should have reached out to me to tell me to download their app to see in real-time energy production and consumption. I did not know this either because no one told me.
After doing a search on my email, I did find that Enphase had reached out in the form of an email, and I had completely missed the email. In that email were instructions on how to download an app so that I can see the information I was looking for. I visited Enphase's webpage and found out that my system should have a battery, and if my system is not generating the amount of energy expected for it to produce, there could be a problem. Also, on their website, I found warranty information.
So, in conclusion, I still do not know why the rest of the panels were not installed on the roof of the guest house, my electricity bill has not changed, I do not know if my system is producing what it was intended to produce, I am still paying a large electricity bill plus the loan payment of the panels, I did not get a walk through of how the thing works, or that I needed to download an app.
So, at the moment I would not recommend Erus to anyone.
