Is Solar Energy Partners a good choice?
Solar Energy Partners fits Georgia and South Carolina homeowners who want to compare buying, a loan and a lease from one company. Its pricing and financing page is clear that it owns leased systems and says lease production is guaranteed for 20 years. It advertises a 25-year warranty but does not publish a separate workmanship or roof leak term, and its field offices are listed as “coming soon.” Get the warranty document before you sign.

Why choose Solar Energy Partners, and why you might not
What Solar Energy Partners does well, and where to be careful, compared with the installers it competes with most.
Reasons to choose SEP
It is clear about who owns rented panelsIf you rent, Solar Energy Partners owns the panels and says so plainly. It promises how much power they will make for 20 years and fixes breakdowns. If you sell your home, the buyer can take over the rent if approved.
You can buy, borrow or rentYou can buy the panels, take a loan, or rent them. It says you can pay off the loan early with no penalty. Creative Solar USA only takes cash.
It puts in home batteriesIts battery page describes a 13 or 26 kWh home battery, which keeps power on when the grid goes down. Its homepage shows Tesla and FranklinWH installer badges. Ask which battery you would get.
Owners praise its calm salesIts head-office Google listing shows 4.9 from 68 reviews. Owners praise a sales process with no pressure and a careful crew. One says it quickly fixed a system another installer left unfinished.
Reasons to look at others
Its warranty on its own work is not spelled outIt advertises a 25-year warranty but lists no separate term for its own work or for leaks where the panels are bolted to the roof. Palmetto lists 10 and 5 years. Get the warranty paper before you sign.
The license we found belongs to a personThe Georgia electrical license we found is held by a person, not the company. It publishes no South Carolina license. Ask which license covers your job.
Its local offices are not open yetIts offices in Atlanta, Charleston, Columbia, Greenville and Savannah are all marked coming soon. Ask where your crew will come from and who to call after the install.
It names no equipment modelsIt shows brand badges but names no panel, inverter or battery models. It does not name its lender either. Ask for the exact models and the loan terms in writing.
Solar Energy Partners reviews: what customers say
Each review site shows its own score; we read them on October 12 and 13, 2026 and do not combine them or add our own rating.
- Google4.9 / 568 reviews · Smyrna, GA office listing only, not company-wideRead reviews
The five positive reviews below praise clear communication on a long program-based install, a no-pressure sales process, a professional crew and a fast fix for a system another installer left unfinished. The one negative review does not describe an install; it objects to a sales email that referred to Hurricane Helene outages. These are issues to ask about, not a measure of how often they happen. Ask Solar Energy Partners who handles service calls after installation and how quickly it responds.

How we picked these: the five newest 5-star and the five newest 1- or 2-star reviews with written text on Google and Trustpilot, as of October 2026 (68 reviews read, back to Sep 29, 2023). We found no Trustpilot page for Solar Energy Partners on October 12, 2026. Each quote is one sentence, word for word. Picking the highest and lowest ratings shows the range of experiences; it is not a representative sample, and we did not verify what reviewers describe.
How much does Solar Energy Partners cost?
Solar Energy Partners does not publish a price for your system; its pricing and financing page says the in-home visit gives the total system cost. Ask for an itemized quote with the cash price, system size, equipment models and, for a loan or lease, the full payment schedule, any yearly increase and fees. For state price ranges, see our solar panel cost guide; for how the plans compare, see loans, leases and PPAs.

Solar Energy Partners’ homepage shows Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer, FranklinWH Certified Installer, Maxeon Preferred and Enphase partner badges, but its text names no panel, inverter or battery models. Its storage page describes a 13 or 26 kWh battery with a “Hub+” unit and an “AC system-wide warranty” that includes panels and microinverters, without naming the maker. Your written proposal should list the exact panel, inverter and battery models, the system size in kilowatts (kW) and the forecast yearly production in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
What does Solar Energy Partners’s warranty cover?
Coverage | What SEP publishes | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
Solar panels | 25 years (described as an inclusive manufacturer’s warranty) | The panel maker and model, and that the 25-year term applies to it. |
Panel output | Not published as a panel term; leases carry a 20-year production guarantee | Confirm in your proposal: the output guarantee for purchased systems and its term. |
Inverter | Included in the “system-wide” warranty on its storage page; term not stated separately | Confirm in your proposal: the inverter model and its term. |
Battery | Not published | Confirm in your proposal: the battery maker’s term and who services it. |
Labor and workmanship | Not published as a separate term; the site advertises a “comprehensive, 25-year warranty” | Confirm in your proposal: whether the 25-year warranty covers installation labor and who holds it. |

Where does Solar Energy Partners operate, and which licenses were checked?
Solar Energy Partners’ pages describe it as serving South Carolina and Georgia, and its field offices page lists Atlanta, Charleston, Columbia, Greenville and Savannah, each marked “Coming Soon” (read October 14, 2026). Its FAQ also describes community solar subscriptions in New York. A listed area does not mean every address qualifies or that EcoGen can connect you with Solar Energy Partners there.
