BLUF: APE SOLAR is THE BEST, DA BOMB, and THE BEES KNEES!!! (ha that should cover a few gens 😊) After touring their company/solar home in Gulf Breeze I knew this was the team for me! Josh & Jennie are so down-to-earth (the round earth btw), not once did I feel pressure to buy a product or hurry up and decide…I LOVE THAT!! LONGER STORY: I’d been looking at getting Solar for 5+ yrs but the price/ROI was just not worth it. Then I learned about DIY solar in mid-2025. Now I'm pretty technical but my drilling-holes-in-things-skills are questionable, so I hired Chris at 850SolarServices to install who thankfully partners with Ape Solar…together they’re a dynamic duo! Our 31 panel / 2 BATTERY install went/looks great & the Ape Solar equipment (EG4 & Tigo) runs beautifully! (It’s so cool having the house run on batteries at night!) Now the design/permit process took a bit, mainly because I decided to change hardware but the permits also took time because of the 2025 solar rush…but the team comms kept flowing the whole time! The system was designed/sized perfectly and the install was quick & impeccable! (It looks/runs SOOOO GOOD!) There are some hardware bugs we still gotta work out but Josh @Ape Solar) and Chris @850SolarServices are fantastic at scheduling follow-ups and again communication is TOP NOTCH! (so important) I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!!! 100% RECOMMEND! P.S. I swear that AI did not write this…pretty sure you can tell. Also this was just 1 cup of coffee…don’t give me another.😁
