“At Eagle Point Solar, our people are trusted, our process is tested, and our results are proven.”

The solar installer for this program was selected through a competitive Request for Proposals in early 2020.

“Installing solar panels requires trust that the company will charge a fair price, and do a good and proper install. I did my research for the first, and talked to a neighbor who had a system installed by StraightUp Solar for the second. I was impressed that because of shading, Andrew suggested installing a smaller array than I had anticipated. He could have had a bigger sale, and I might have never known about the unnecessary expense. The installation was done very professionally.”

— Neil Gridley
