Future Energy

Getting solar was an easy decision, but there are a lot of choices. Vince at Future Energy made it seamless. They showed up as scheduled, had great financing options and were efficient with plans.
So far, it has been a great investment and product. In fact, it was such a good experience and financial decision my next door neighbor had Vince from Future Energy install theirs right afterwards.

It's refreshing to work with someone who actually does what they say they're going to do, for the price they quote, save money and feel good about your contribution to the environment!

I dealt with Vince and he is absolutely amazing. He was so clear on the process, the cost and he is genuinely a great guy to work with. Since the installation he has answered so many of my questions and concerns. He just always goes above and beyond in his communication, compassion and patience with me. When I finally add the battery backup he will be the only person I contact. Hope Future Energy knows what a great guy they have! Thanks Vince! You are awesome!

Worked with Vince at Future Energy he was well-informed about the panels and how to meet our energy needs and stay within cost. He kept us info of all goings-on and what was next. Definitely would recommend Future Energy and Vince

Future Energy delivered as promised! I came to them (specifically Vincent) with less than 3 weeks to file under NEM 2.0, while other companies refused to try (SunRun, SunPower to name a few). Not only did they deliver ontime and allowed me to obtain Permission To Operate (PTO) under NEM 2.0, but through Vincent's experience and capable team I now have a great solar panel system that I highly recommend others to choose Vincent for their solar panel solutions!

Vince was amazing, super knowledgeable and responsive through the whole process. Our panels look beautiful and work wonderfully. Very easy to monitor functionality through the Enphase app. INCREDIBLY happy we went with Future Energy. Like, INCREDIBLY.

After getting multiple quotes from Energy Sage and contacting additional installers on my own, I decided to move forward with Future Energy. Getting solar is big investment so I spoke with 9 different installers. After speaking with Vince he explained exactly what I needed but more importantly he explained what I didn't need. Other companies tried to oversize the system and add additional components, Vince explained why that wasn't needed. A week after signing the contract a Future Energy rep was at my home doing a site visit and taking measurements. It was at this time that I was informed that I needed to replace my roof in order to warranty the hardware and labor. The original roof was 23 years old so it was definitely time to replace. A couple weeks later Memo and his roofing crew were able to replace my roof in 5 days. The roof looks amazing and I would highly recommend Memo and his crew to replace any family members roof. Once the roof was installed it was time to install the panels. A crew of 4 showed up and were able to finish the entire install in one day. They installed exactly what was on my original contract unlike other companies that try to switch the panels at the last minute for older cheaper panels. The solar panels and breaker box look amazing and everything was buttoned up perfectly. They even pained all the conduit to match my home exterior. I am now up and running and could not be happier. I would highly recommend Future Energy to everyone. They say the best deals are the ones where both parties walk away happy, I am walking away very happy.

When I first signed up for Solar I decided to cancel my plan with Sunpower and move forward with Future. I went this route because the team that helped me 100% guaranteed their professionalism, their service, and their equipment. Of course I always do research to the best I can and so I decided to put my trust in them. Not even more than 2 years in and the system has stopped twice already not generating anything for months. Now I usually check my application but what they guaranteed was that when such a situation occurs their team will be notified so we will never run into these issues and so it can be resolved asap. Almost 2 years later though and now they blame me for not constantly looking at the application and not catching this myself on time. When I state this has been the worst customer service on top of so much more I can go on about, IT IS! I will definitely NOT be adding more panels with them in the future because they do not represent FUTURE at all! I will also NOT be recommending them to anyone after the way they have failed me as a customer. One that that truly trusted them with their services. I feel so deceived and undervalued on a system I've been paying thousands for when it should have been saving me money. However, I can't even receive any type of empathy nor reimbursement for the money I now have to pay PG&E for those months of no connection. I take back the first review I ever posted to be able to get a credit; that was a scan and wish I never wrote it without the full experience of this company.

I had a wonderful experience working with Vince from Future Energy. I found the company on the Energy Sage website.
After receiving multiple bids, I found Future Energy had the best pricing for my home Energy needs. The process was smooth and easy. The company was professional and fair. Vince made the process easy to understand and he went above and beyond in customer care, and this is why. My contract originally stated 16 panels at 400 production, but due to the supply chain issues, they were not available as soon as needed. So Vince offered me an extra panel at 380 production at no extra charge. His actions showed me his integrity and he was serious about my solar needs and showing great customer care. I highly recommend Future Energy and Vince Downey!

Future Energy Today gave us a quote, performed a site inspection, updated their plan, but did not follow through on detailed design and installation. After 3-4 months of nagging, they finally responded that our roof could not be permitted for an install. We went with another installer who got the job done in five weeks including permitting, install, inspections and permit to operate. In the 4 months we lost, there was a solar panel shortage and prices went up by $7000!

Our saga with future energy today started in March of 2022, we have a standing seam metal roof, which not all installers are familiar with. Future energy told us they can install on it with S-5 clamps. LADBS has a letter that allows these clamps for solar installs in the city of LA. Future Energy Today were very pleasant to work with in this phase. They provided an initial quote that included the types of panels, microinverters and combiner box. They sent out a tech for a site inspection. At the site inspection, I asked about putting the combiner box on the north side of the house, even though our meter was on the south side. The salesperson indicated he needed to check with engineering but it didn't seem to be a problem. He also provided an updated layout of the system at this time. A week went by, and I asked about the progress with the engineering team. That turned to two weeks. Then longer. Then calls and emails that were not returned. Finally in July I got a hold of the salesperson. He said that they had installed a project on a standing seam metal roof recently, and it had to be removed because the inspector didn't like it. They reneged on their quote.

Once this happened, I called by our second choice installer, Cali Energy. They requoted, and installed a system and got it turned on in 5 weeks. In the intervening time, there was a solar panel shortage and inflation happened. All the quotes in the second period, went form about $22000 to $29000. We paid $7000 more than we would have because we were jerked around by Future energy today.
