Customer Feedback
“This was a pretty complex job with multiple phases, including roofing, electrical upgrades, and finally solar. The solar system delivers as promised and we are pleased with how the project unfolded. We greatly appreciated the professionalism of [the FIG Solar] team and the guidance on navigating gov’t funding programs and working with Hydro Ottawa. It was a painless process.
The after-sales support has been fantastic too, which we feel is a big deal. You hear about some solar companies disappearing, leaving people stuck with problems they can’t fix, but that’s not the case here. When we needed a hand, your team was there for us (special thanks to Todd and Graham).” – Mike K.
