Hi, I’m Dave. I work in solar because I want to help build the renewable energy future.

A little about me:

I joined Ipsun in June 2020 as a solar installer. I progressed to project manager and director of residential solar before transitioning to the sales side. Before Ipsun Solar, I ran my own design-build company installing aerial adventure parks and really long zip lines all around the country and even spent time as a licensed financial advisor. I may be the only solar professional you talk to who has carried panels up a three-story ladder, pulled wire in a 110-degree attic, and led an install crew. I can present you with solar options in clear, jargon-free terms–or I’m happy to get technical and nerd out about conversion ratios, panel degradation, and how battery storage works.

Testimonials of the people I took care of

Polite, respectful, and extremely skilled.

Professionalism and attention to detail

Ipsun installed our system in July and the system was turned on last month. We were pleased with the professionalism of the installation team and their attention to detail. The panels are aesthetically pleasing, and I have had several positive comments from neighbors on their good looks. We are looking forward to reducing our utility bill and contributing to the health of our environment for generations to come.

Ipsun Solar installed our solar panels, and it was the right decision for many reasons. It was easy to work with the company - from sales to installation and beyond. We have had the panels for some time now, and yet the Ipsun team continues to monitor them to ensure each is working properly. We receive regular reports of the energy generated, and our electric bills have gone down dramatically! The team members are professional, responsive, and caring. We highly recommend Ipsun for their help in making a good decision about a solid investment with a great return and for their ongoing support.

Ipson Solar worked with me and a roofing company to coordinate removal of an older obsolete system, roof preparation, and installation of a new system. All went well and on schedule and I am completely satisfied with the result.

Ipsun was great to work with setting up my Solar array. Most importantly, they've been great about upkeep an maintenance in the years since I've had it installed. They came out to fix some of the wiring when a critter ate through it and repaired the critter guard too.I just wish I had a bigger roof so I could get more kW.

I used Ipsun Solar for my system and batteries. It has been a very difficult process with many delays and mistakes. I would recommend choosing another installer. You are stuck with the installer for the life of the system. Make sure you pick a good one.I signed with them in January 2022 and was sold on the idea of an operational system in 4 months. They said because they were in a co-op they could do things quicker and in a more labor friendly way (B corp). It’s been 10+ months and my system has not operated at 100% (didn’t operate at all for 3.5 months after delayed July installation).There have been many delays and mistakes directly attributable to Ipsun. It seems like the company does not communicate with itself (or it’s customers).They will promise amazing costumer service, but they under deliver. They will promise they have access to batteries and there will be no delays, but then there are equipment and labor delays.They will install your system and forget that it doesn’t work leaving you sitting for months asking for a fix. But, one thing they will do is attempt to collect payment for a system that doesn’t work (over and over and over). They will send workers out to do nothing, or to repeat completed tasks (over and over) because they have not been told a previous worker did it.You’d think a manager would have reached out to me by now. Nope.

After thinking about adding solar to our home, I finally got serious about it last spring. I contacted 5 firms and had a wide range of experience- not all good. IPSUN emerged as my solid choice. Knowledgeable sales rep, flexible, and not high pressure. I was further pleased by their engineering staff and the final solution. And then a very smooth installation day. Plus, this company is a strong advocate for solar energy and climate action. We are so pleased we selected IPSUN.
