Top Solar Installers in McKinney - 2026 Rankings
Not all solar companies are equal. In McKinney, you want someone who knows Oncor territory and local permitting.
What makes a solar company reliable vs sketchy?
We analyzed thousands of solar company reviews. The top complaints: poor communication, delayed installations, and companies that disappear after the sale. These aren't edge cases - they're patterns you can avoid by knowing what to look for.
What is the most reputable solar panel company?
Years in business. 5+ is good. 10+ is better.
Local presence. They should know McKinney permitting.
Warranty coverage. 25 years on panels, 10+ on labor.
Reviews. Check Google, Yelp, BBB.
Red Flags from Real Reviews
After analyzing 1,400+ negative reviews, these are the warning signs:
Companies with 'scam' in reviews (we've seen 78+ examples)
Installers described as 'worst' or 'horrible' repeatedly
Frequent mentions of 'no response' or 'won't call back'
Reviews mentioning 'lies' or 'broken promises'
Why won't my solar company call me back?
The #1 complaint in solar reviews: "They won't call me back." This happens more than you'd think. A good installer responds within 24-48 hours. If you can't reach them before the sale, imagine trying to get warranty service after.
What should I know before signing a solar contract?
Who handles the Oncor interconnection paperwork?
What's your warranty on workmanship?
Are your installers W-2 employees or subcontractors?
Do your battery systems qualify for grid services programs?
