When we decided to get a solar system, I did a lot of research on the technology, cost, and recommendations on how to shop for solar. To get a good understanding on cost, I obtained numerous bids, one of them being from Thames Electric. Thames Electric's bid for a 9.72 kW system was by far the best price for the equipment proposed, fully met my usage requirements, and was among the lowest of the bids received.
I spent a lot of time talking with Nick about the various panel options available, pros/cons of higher efficiency panels vs. standard, warranties, micro. vs string inverters, etc. One area I was concerned about was how to install the system on my flat roof as I did not want to cut a lot of holes due to future leak concerns. Nick was well versed in the different options available for flat roofs and has done numerous designs and installations in the past.
This experience alone was very important to me, as most of the larger Solar companies I contacted did not install on flat roofs in the Colorado region due to them being uncommon. When it came time to install my system, Joe and Nick were great in walking me through the equipment, how the installation would go, how the electrical was setup, etc. They handled all the permits, Xcel paperwork, structural engineering reports, etc., and quickly completed the city inspections.
This was on top of the numerous questions I asked, which they were always happy to answer. We had a great experience with Nick and Joe at Thames Electric, and we would highly recommend them!

The Thames Solar crew was very professional. They responded quickly to the request for a quote and answered all of my questions quickly. Having a master electrician on staff was a big plus as my older hold needed a new service panel. The installation took a day and 1/2 (new service panel was a factor in the slightly longer time). I am not just waiting on Xcel Energy to reconnect the meter. Very satisfied with the service and price. Oh and my neighbors have commented on how nice the panels look.

Massively over priced for a solar install. The quote I received was practically criminal. Installing around $11,000 worth of equipment for $31,000. I can buy the exact same gear offered for $11,000 choosing the AVERAGE price online, not the cheapest. So they want $20,000 of labor/profit. That should be criminal. I got a quote from a competitor for $15,000. Exact same gear. Shop around! This company is ripping people off. They also communicated with extremely poor English.

After having a photovoltaic system installed on our previous home, I felt more confident and knowledgeable about purchasing a system for our new home. This time I knew exactly what I wanted, from price to layout to equipment. After obtaining a few bids, I was pleasantly surprised to find Thames Solar Electric. They were the only company who could address all of my needs, on time or earlier than promised, and at a very reasonable and competitive price.
They have been in the solar business for a long time and provide individual service based on the needs of the consumer, to include cutting edge battery installations. When I first met Joe, the Master Electrician, I knew immediately that I wanted to do business with him. He is highly experienced, both in the military and as a civilian, and can conquer any challenge he is presented with.
His workmanship is superior and he went above and beyond when dealing with some complicated issues concerning my install. He'll never cut corners. He has the heart of a teacher and will take the time to explain what he is doing. Nick, the consultant and installer, has also been in the solar business a long time and his knowledge of solar was immediately evident.
When I presented him with my unique requirements, he, without hesitation, said no problem, and then proceeded to explain the various aspects of how they would accomplish this. He is not your average fast-talking salesman, but an experienced installer who knows solar inside and out and will ensure that the job is done correctly, and will take the time to address any issues that come up. Thames worked very well with Weld County and United Power.
From the time I signed the contract until the net meter was installed was exactly 8 weeks.unheard of in this industry! It was a real pleasure to work with a company who has the ability to accomplish anything you need, from a simple solar installation, which most of the competition provides, to a unique, modified, complex installation which very few can handle. Thames handled it all professionally, yet provided personal service, and with absolutely no headaches or issues. I am 100% satisfied and looking forward to years and years of sun-generated power. Thank you Thames!
