Why we are the #1 aPower2 Installer

I had heard pretty good things about 8MSolar, from my friend and relative. After getting the quote, I end up going with 8MSolar. I am glad I went with them. The service is exemplary, no one was able to beat their price in Concord, NC and their communication was quick and to the point. They took their time to explain me everything and were able to answer my every questions since it was a big investment. Installation and inspection were scheduled without any delay. I would surely recommend 8MSolar. Good job guys.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND. ***UPDATE*** As a result of your comments below. We did not request "free" We requested at cost.. meaning that whatever the equipment costs we would pay, and install for free as all the errors were borne by 8MSolars efforts, or lack thereof. Your installers told me that the did not work as salaried employees for 8MSolar. That they were Independent Contractors hired on a per job basis. I don't know if any company is worse, or any better. These people fail to follow up on many aspects of the transaction. It appears that they could care less about anything other than collecting payment. They miscalculated our needs by nearly 1/2 resulting in our still having a significant Utility bill (while having promised me a net-zero bill... their words) . They not once had a Licensed Electrician on site. When you call them out on being dissatisfied, they threaten to walk away from the project (once they've already received a portion of payment). And threatened to cancel our applications with the Utility resulting in complete Solar reapplication process. The installers did a great job, but they were not employees (as promised). We simply had a horrible experience with these people.
I’ve got my solar installation done from 8MSolar. Signed for the project in June & installation was complete by September 2025. They were prompt in all their communications, setting expectations & all the due diligence in getting all the approvals. I recommend them for any of your Solar Project needs.
I was referred to 8M Solar by a friend, but I conducted my own due diligence before selecting them for my solar panel installation. My decision to choose this company proved to be the right one. The entire process—from the initial quotation to project completion—was handled with professionalism and effective communication. The team guided me through each step, including obtaining the necessary documentation for HOA approval and submitting required details to Duke Energy. As I was scheduled to travel abroad for an extended period, I requested that the installation be completed before my departure. The 8M Solar team accommodated my timeline and efficiently arranged the installation. Their team maintained proactive communication, confirming the appointment the day before and ensuring all materials were delivered in advance. The installation proceeded smoothly and was completed within a single day, despite the shorter daylight hours in December. The following morning, 8M Solar conducted their own inspection; their engineer demonstrated the Tesla solar app and explained how to set up monitoring for solar production. During my absence, the Duke Energy inspection was coordinated by the 8M team without any issues. A representative met the inspector at my home, contacted me for access, and ensured the process was seamless. Throughout the project, the 8M Solar team communicated effectively and provided guidance at every stage. Even after the final inspections, they promptly addressed a setting issue I encountered, emailing clear instructions to resolve it. The 8M team also shared the document on getting federal rebate providing the clear instruction. 8M Solar delivered outstanding service on my installation, and I would confidently recommend them for solar projects.
My experience with 8M was awesome. They installed my solar panels in August and Duke approved interconnection in early October. Since then I have had no power bill and they have been working like a charm. 8M handled the entire permitting and interconnection process which was extremely helpful. I've already received the incentive from Duke Energy using the power pair program and the amount was what they estimated. The installation process took a day and went smoothly. I would recommended 8M to anyone.

Most likely you would need a few additional panels to cover charging a future electric vehicle. During our consultation, we’ll determine how much you expect to drive (and charge) the EV, and recommend the necessary panels to cover that added usage. Alternatively, you can always come back and expand the system (add panels) in the future – it is very easy to do so.
