What Our Customers Say About Service

We all want to deal with companies that stand by their word. In our experience, SunFarm is one of those companies. Two and a half years ago, SunFarm installed Tesla solar panels and batteries to our house. We couldn’t be happier with the product or service, with the emphasis on service. The inverter, still under warranty, went out two months ago. As quickly as they could, SunFarm replaced the inverter with no expense to us.”

– Bill S in Panama City Beach

The service team was very professional and walked me through the process of the install. They were promptly on time and worked quickly to get me back online with my panels. I look forward to doing business with them again in the future!

– John C. in Gulf Breeze

We had a great experience from sales to installation and after. Maybe a year after installation they replaced a panel not performing correctly without me requesting it. Great value!

– Daryl B. in Milton
