What I wish I knew before hand and you should know Read the 1-star ratings in reviews, as they often will tell you a lot about whoever you’re looking at. Green Home Systems Inc is not BBB accredited and F rated even though at the time GHS claimed 5 stars and accredited GHS site says 5 star Trustpilot but it is 3.6 and sinking. If you look top of this Trustpilot page on GHS says “We’ve found out that this company has been displaying Trustpilot content incorrectly. This includes displaying the Trustpilot brand in a misleading way: like our name or logo, TrustScore, star rating, widgets, reviews, and other brand content. We take the integrity of our platform very seriously. When we uncover misuse, we take action and alert our community.” Before signing a contract , print it off and let a lawyer read it, will be worth the money, I regret I didn’t do it till after signed. Do not leave anything laying around where it might be stolen. With most all subcontractors this is not an issue As of 3/16/2024 still waiting on a check for tools stolen, and gas line inspection lose wires in breaker box I had to tighten and reinsert into breakers after they left. Lucky no fires Look up solar help sites like Solar Review, Solar Neighbors United, and anyone else you can. In my state Illinois Solar Education Project April 2023, was when they offered to place on ground. As of 3/21/2024, not totally done. Was told getting consumption meter installed Finally got consumption meter delivered on March 29th still not installed and still no reimbursement for stolen tools June 3, 2024 consumption meter. Now 11/09/2025 still not installed, They agreed to pay for stolen items. As of 11/09/2025 still no money. So many things like others have said here that never came to fruition. F rating & not accredited with BBB and not 5 star as they claim with Trustpilot, only 3.6 Trustpilot also say “We’ve found out that this company has been displaying Trustpilot content incorrectly” Now 11/09/2025 still unfinished, Carbon Solution Group just sent out a real contractor to inspect and approve my system for rest of Illinois Shines rebate. Seems the people who installed it (and cut through gas line and stole tools ) wasn't licensed to do it so and licensed inspector had to come out.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. This company is based in California but sells project throughout the United States. Once the project has been sold to the customer, they source a local contractor nearest to the customer to complete the installation. At first they are knowledgeable, accessible and responsive, but once the project is paid for by the customer and/or the customer's funding source, they will ghost all other parties involved and DO NOT pay the subcontractor for the work that they completed. We are a subcontractor that worked for them for about 8 months in Northern Illinois and are owed several thousand dollars for projects completed months ago. Their solution to the problem "do more jobs for us and we will use that funding to pay you for what we owe you" HUGE RED FLAG. Every person that we had an established working relationship with is no longer with the company because they were all let go and replaced with project managers that DO NOT know what they are doing. Do not believe anything they tell you in the sales pitch, so that you can avoid getting taken by this company. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. Any bad reviews on this company are probably the most accurate, believe them.

I signed up with GHS in March of 2023 for a roof replacement and solar. The communication with GHS is terrible they do not want anything in writing, I will send them email's and will get a phone call back days or weeks later. The roofing project was a total debacle. I have a 2000 sqft house and the roof took 25 days to tear-off and install. I told GHS during the contract signing I wanted a licensed roofer, no problem they told me we only use licened professionals. I signed the contract on March 15th and was told I would have the solar turnd on by July. The roof installation started June 5th and ended on July 10th 2023. In the months leading upto the roofing project started I asked to see the roofers license, GHS told me they will get it to me. During the 25 days of roofing I asked almost daily for the license, silence for days from GHS and when they did responsed, I was told they will get it to me. The demo of the roof was taking so long (10 days) and performed so unprofessionaly that I asked for a different roofer before the demo was completed, GHS told me no. When the roof was finally finished I performed a quick walk through of the roof and found many exposed nails. I called and emailed GHS about the nails, no reply for weeks. With the first rain the roof leaked is 3 locations. GHS finally returned my email's once I sent in pictures of the leaks. I was still asking for the roofers license GHS finally admitted, Louis the roofer does not have a license. GHS offered to send out a licensed roofer to inspect the roof, 5 minutes of looking at the roof he told me the roof was installed so poorly the entire roof will need to be replaced. GHS told me they will replace the roof however, I have been waiting over 2 months nothing has happened. I am done with GHS, I asked for the contract to be canceled, they agreed. Three weeks later and I still do not have a signed release for the contract. GHS has a revolving door with employees, during the roofing project I had 3 different Project Managers over the 8 months with GHS I have had a total of 5 Project Managers. GHS is very sloppy with the paperwork. The permit they pulled with the city for the roof does not have the correct roofer listed. GHS did not follow-up with the city for the inspection of the roof, no inspection was performed. Edison has sent me 6 non-conforming notices for the solar requiring amendments to the solar array. I am extremely unhappy with GHS because this project has gone on for so long that I will need to find a new solar installer and I will most likely lose the NEM2 status. Almost 8 months with this incompetent company and I am left with a leaking roof and no solar. Do not use GHS!!! Worst home improvement project ever.

Bad Company to do Business With!!! Green Home Systems, formerly known as Green Home Technologies, established communication with our company a few years back regarding the prospect of installing their solar systems on Green Home's customers' properties through a mutually beneficial contract. Green Home relies on local contractors for the installation of their solar systems because they don't have a contractor's license in the state where the client resides. Nor do they have any relationship with the utility companies and the electrical inspectors. In the beginning, everything was working out. Jobs were coming in and completed by my company, Invoices were paid on time. But as we progressed up until now, Green Home has delayed payment, more often than not, for my services which caused me to break our contract agreement. Our contract stated 30 days net, NOT 90 or 120 days past due !! I have contacted Green Home several times about the PAST DUE invoices with them telling me several lies and eventually no response at all. I currently have several invoices that I will have to just write off. I have placed Mechanics Liens on the customer's properties because of the past due invoices and I'm in the process of filing suit against Green Home for collections of the past and present unpaid invoices as well as a Breach of Contract. If Green Home will just pay me the amount owed, I will release the liens against the homeowner's property, and this will all go away. Just a heads up regarding anyone planning to do business with this company!!! I've done a little research on this company (too late) and found that I'm not the only subcontractor that Green Home has not paid for the services provided. There are a LOT of contractors from various states that have not been paid for the installation of Green Home System's solar equipment. I wish that I had investigated this unethical and corrupt company before I decided to subcontract for them. Subcontractor Beware, unless you don't mind paying your crew and not being reimbursed for the money you shelled out !!! Check for yourself their reviews on the many websites available. Buyer Beware, unless you can afford to have a lien placed on your property by the unpaid subcontractor !! I still get calls from Green Home's clients for service repairs because Green Home will not respond to their client's needs or will not answer the phone at all. For some of them, I went ahead and performed the repair at no cost. I really empathize with these clients of Green Home Systems. One elderly woman was left in the dark and had to use a generator due to equipment malfunction. She tried to call Green Home several times, and on numerous days before calling me. Save yourself a headache and go with a local solar company in your area!! A note to Green Home Systems... It is recommended that Green Home Systems improve its business ethics in regard to its treatment of its customers and subcontractors. This would demonstrate a commitment to fairness and ethical standards that are essential in the business world. By doing so, Green Home can establish a reputation for being a trustworthy and reliable business partner, which can ultimately lead to increased customer loyalty and profitability. It is essential for all businesses to prioritize ethical behavior and to hold themselves accountable for any shortcomings in this area, in order to maintain a positive reputation and build strong relationships with customers. Word of mouth is your best advertisement !!!! Why would you want to destroy that ?? Reply from Green Home Systems Oct 27, 2023 Steve, we are looking into your issue and will expedite payment on your repair calls. I apologize for the delay. Here it is May 30th, 2024 and I am still waiting on my overdue payments. I have called, texted, and emailed this company on several occasions and they continue to ghost me. The liens on these customers properties of Green Home will continue to exist until ALL invoices are paid in full.

Edit Update 11/19/23: Over a month has gone by and still no word hard to believe it's that hard to issue a check? -Does not honor their own contracts it's been months since my PTO has been awarded and I have yet to receive my cash back offer that was contracted -I have been ghosted since the loan company paid green home -Engineering department can't do simple math if the panels will fit with the fire code set back had to take the system off and remove 6 panels and now I have bolts through my roof with roofing mud

Green Home Systems deserves ZERO stars because they are an unethical company. This company finds young men who have a desire to be independent contractors and then refuses to pay them. Once the work is completed per the work order, they lie to the contractors by telling them the check is in the mail, but the check never arrives. When Green Home Systems receives a call about the missing payment, they then state that the check will be available for pick up on Friday. When Friday arrives the person responsible for preparing the checks has allegedly gone home early. The contractor is told to come on Monday to pick up the check, but then there is an "issue" with the invoices. When the invoices are corrected and submitted again, then they are told that because they submitted the invoices twice, there will be a delay in payment and to pick the check up the next day. When the contractor calls the next day to ensure that the check is ready, they are told, that they will not be receiving payment for the work they performed as outlined in the work order. The owner of this company and his employees should be ashamed of themselves for being so unscrupulous. I would strongly encourage of all the subcontractors to ban together and file a class action lawsuit against Green Home Systems. Additionally, I would encourage all of the dissatisfied customers of this company to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. 10/14 Update: Despite making contact with the owner of this company who promised to get the matter resolved, it remains unresolved. Unfortunately, customers are getting caught up in the matter because subcontractors now have to file mechanic’s liens against the service addresses.

I would give zero star if I can! I have to pay both my utility company as usual and Green home systems every month as of today due to their unresponsiveness in arranging final walk-through of the installation with the city. They simply don't answer any call after installing solar panels on my roof ( I called hundreds of times). But in order to use the solar system, city needs to approve it. It is Green Home System's responsibility to set up the walk through. They never did it (it has been 3 months), and I can't use the solar power!!! Customer support doesn't exist. I called my project manager, the sale lady and customer reprehensive. Each of them responded once, promising a solution in some time. But nobody ever picked up the phone again. It has been 3 months. So, think twice before you select Green Home Systems. They appear VERY professional in luring you into buying their system. But they will ditch you right after like the way they treated me. Also, don't trust any sale incentive. They still owe me $1000 sale incentive they wrote in my contract. They just don't pick up the damn call.

Green Home Systems hired us to install a complete solar system for a homeowner in WI. The system was installed over 10 months ago and we have yet to get paid. GHS has acknowledged in numerous emails that they have received our invoice and have scheduled to pay it out. If you read through the reviews this is a pattern for anyone doing work for GHS. We now have to file a lien on the homeowner.
