Forme Solar

Forme installed a Franklin 15kwh battery for me. As far as the battery's functionality, it has been flawless. The installation looks extremely professional/clean. All work went smooth, on schedule, and it was an extreme pleasure having the Forme crew at my home. The customer service is excellent, the team is communicative, friendly, honest, and happy to answer any questions and explain how this solar/battery/NEM thing works. I would encourage anyone looking to install, upgrade, repair anything solar / solar storage related to give the team at Forme Solar a call.

This review is long overdue but I wanted to wait a year before posting anything. Long story short, Forme solar is a great company to work with. We initially ordered a system from Tesla and everything seemed to be going well. Suddenly, 4 weeks in, they said they couldn't continue with our project because of our roof tile. Why in the world would it take 4 weeks to determine this? Needless to say, we were super disappointed because they lured us in with a great price but then failed to deliver! What a complete waste of time! Not only that, it felt like pulling teeth just to get a straight answer from them. Then we found Forme solar. We worked with Nick and he was so responsive and informative. From the start, he explained why Tesla would not work on our system and it turns out they only keep the most basic of projects for their in-house crew. The minute there is any complexity, they will cancel on you. Nick and his team were professional, transparent, and consistently focused on making sure that the ROI on our investment made sense. We wound up even scaling back on the solar energy system size so the total project cost wound up being less than what we were going to get with Tesla. 1 year later, things have been running great and we generally do not pay for our electricity because we consume the majority of what we generate. Things have been great so far and we can't thank Nick and the Forme team enough. These guys are great!

I recently had a solar panel and battery system installed by Forme Solar, and I’m quite pleased with the overall experience. Here’s a summary of how things went: The Process The initial consultation regarding my utility bill was seamless. Nilda provided clear, detailed explanations and answered all my questions about the system’s functionality. Although the installation took slightly longer than expected, the team was professional, courteous, and left the site clean and organized. System Performance The system has been performing well so far. The solar panels are generating energy as intended, and the battery has already proven its value by activating during a few outages. While it’s still early to gauge the full impact on my SCE bill, I’m optimistic about the potential savings. Customer Support Post-installation support exceeded my expectations. During the final inspection, Alex walked me through the system’s monitoring process with patience and clarity, which was incredibly helpful. Final Thoughts Choosing Forme Solar for my solar installation was a great decision. Despite a minor delay during the installation process, the overall experience was positive. I’d confidently recommend Forme Solar to anyone considering a transition to solar energy to reduce their electricity costs. Pros: • Clear, transparent communication throughout the process • Professional and respectful installation team • Reliable battery backup during power outages Cons: • Slight delay in installation • Awaiting measurable cost savings This has been a strong start, and I’m excited to see how the system continues to perform over time.

I've got nothing but great things to say about my experience with Nilda, Bobby, Kellee, and the rest of the crew at Forme Solar! We shopped around for several months and these guys are the most transparent and service-oriented contractor we have ever worked with. My husband wanted to go big with our energy system and Bobby stepped in and encouraged him to be more conservative because we only moved in 7 months ago. Bobby explained to us that there is no bigger waste of money than overbuilding because the excess energy is practically worthless as a utility credit. Instead, he said we can start on the smaller side with solar and invest more on the battery because this will bring us more value in the long term. He also said that we can come back and get more panels anytime we want once we understand our usage needs better. This is the first time a contractor has ever encouraged us to spend less and we are all for it! We wound up spending $7,000 less than intended and we got an 8.5 kW system with a 15 kWh hour Franklin battery. We have been loving the savings! Now with the expiration of the tax credit, we are seriously thinking about getting another battery before the end of the year and we are so happy we found Forme Solar! Give these guys a call. They are not just installers. They are the real deal!

Got approval to turn on our solar from Edison by going solar with Forme. On the positive, they got our application and permits processed in a timely manner. The system was affordable and better priced than competitors. We got a 30 panel Enphase solar project installation at our home. When it came to any inquiry and technical questions about initiating the Solar project, Bobby was very detail oriented and patient with us throughout the process. From end to end any operation / installation related questions about the project, paperwork with Edison, permit approval etc the team was helpful. We are happy with the customer service we got from Forme and hope that it will continue the same in future. I do enjoy the fact we got solar installed and we're now generating electricity.

If we could rate them a 10 star we would! Solar was less than a year old, and it stopped working. The original solar company stopped answering phone calls so I had to shop around for companies to service my system. Forme Solar was the one I picked. Service was excellent and the price for the diagnostic fix was reasonable at $350. They were professional and didn’t upcharge me.

It took me about 2 months to shop for the right solar company for my project. Forme Solar made a confusing topic easy to understand and helped make a difficult decision one that we could make with confidence. I had 8 quotes!!!! 5 from local companies and 3 from the big boys. Different pricing, equipment, number of panels, type of inverter, energy generation, warranties, oh my. Throughout the process was able to learn a lot about power offset, batteries, EVs and other things that will impact production. The whole process took about 4 months from the date that I signed the contract to getting permission from Edison to turn on my solar. Every step of the way my consultant Grace was active and did a great job of keeping me updated and helped me with the answers to my questions. She was extremely professional and responsive. Install wasn’t bad. It took 2 days. After the permits got approved, everything started moving quickly. Got inspected and boom about two weeks later got approval from SCE. In closing, I would recommend getting solar. Forme did a good job, not sure what it would have been like using someone else but provided good info, was pleasant enough to work with and their price was competitive for the equipment I was looking for.
