Solar Power Store Canada Reviews 

Actually i was interested in the lifep04 batteries that were back ordered. Solar Power Store expected full payment in January for delivery late March at the earliest.
So I decided to try purchase couple of flexible solar panels along with connectors for my boat.
The fairly priced panels and connectors arrived promptly. So I order for 100ah lifep048volt battery.

I will update as time moves forward on the backorder situation we shall see soon enough.

Receaved battery in May 2022 was very happy with performance untill September when one cell voltage would hit low voltage shutdown at around the 50% level.
Contacted Solar Power Store and I am in the process of some form of resolution.
I will update review as we move forward.
Solar Power Store has made good there first response was send battery back. But thats not good for me I/we live off grid and were entering the most difficult time of year. Compromise offered was I buy new battery and Solar Power Store would refund cost when thay recieved deffective battery. In the end I made the 8hr drive and we exchanged new for deffective Nov 2022.

At this time can say will buy again from Solar Power Store. 5/5

Well here we are Feb 2024 with battery and state of health is now 87% on 187 cycles. When i had problem with first battery i requested information on PC connection to battery monitor system to help me resolve low cell shutdown. Was told no! and now i beleave low temp protection was not calibrated. But that is just a guess, i have moved on to other brand of Lifepo4 48v 100amp battery that is working in parallel with no problems.

So i have changed my review to 3/5

Excellent customer service. Issues with the shipping company and Solar Power Store quickly resolved the issue.

Had a small delay in shipping and staff put full effort toward a solution. The best outcome possible. Shipped items next day to remedy issue.

Will continue to support.

Thanks for your attention!

Excellent customer service while we were dealing with faulty batteries. The willingness to work with us to solve the problem was a refreshing surprise. They have made a repeat customer out of me, for sure.

Outstanding customer support! Rozen gave us accurate and helpful information with regards to our generator's arrival. We live in a remote area and often have difficulties with shipping. Not this time! Excellent Service!

Great experience. I got tinned copper 4/0 cables at a great price shipped fast.

Packaged arrived quickly and was well packaged , no damage.

The men at dock

Very fast delivering and all in good care. I have a lot of confidence to buy this store now directly. Thank you for your service.

Great price, fast shipping and extremely well packaged.

Very fast response to the order as well as shipping.

It's regrettable that some one from Solar Power could be so disingenuous in distorting all facts about this project and this really tells the reader about their innate character, as evidenced by so many dissatisfied customers all around. Here are the facts:

1. The contractor was engaged and paid by Solar Power Store. I never knew of him prior to his appointment to this project. He was deeply upset about how Solar Power has opened cheated me in terms of installed capacity. He felt it was a reflection on him.
2. The original contract (open for anyone's verification) including Hydro One's approval, will attest to mutually signed contract for 10 KW. There was never a "revised" contract for 8 KW output, as they claimed. Let them bring out a single proof, if they are truthful. I paid them based upon 10 KW output capacity, NOT 8 KW as he falsely claimed.
3. Each credit card payment MUST be authorized by the owner, regardless of their sneaky retention of my card details. Release of payments is contingent upon satisfactory completion, as mutually agreed. It was NOT. This is a clear FRAUD case and I have already started the process of recovery.
Please come forward to join our hands together in legal pursuit against this repeat offender. Feel free to call or text me. We want one less black sheep.

BUYER BEWARE!!

We purchased a system in March and paid in May of this year, We have included a recent email that was sent
Initially when we contacted them, they were extremely pleasant and quick to respond to all of our needs and concerns and built a 8 kw solar system, and stated would work for all of our needs and more. Everything was great up to when we paid in full and the product was shipped. This is when things started to change (response time, support). Honestly, we don't actually have an 8kw operating system at this time! (7 months later)

Exert of recent email:

Your electrician contractor, was here on Saturday Dec 2,2023. He was able to install the override switch and the heater for the cabinet.

He was NOT able to get the generator hooked up to auto start when the batteries are low. He advised that he would be discussing this with you. We have asked you numerous times for assistance with this as the invertor and batteries are not communicating. As per Growatt they advise that SOK batteries are not compatible with their inverter (SPF12000 SPF DVM-US-MPV)

This has been an extremely long seven months of nothing but frustration, abuse, financial burden, lies (ie climatized outdoor battery cabinet, saying you will do something and then renege, stating you would get issues resolved in a timely manner), selling me a system that does not work as promised, threatening us that you have bigger and better lawyers, zero support and last few months zero communication (numerous unanswered emails).

Current and ongoing issues:

1     solar panels were installed incorrectly . Unable to tilt one of the sides as installed too close to the hill. (Your contractor threatening us when we       didn't want to pay him)
2     wires were not buried correctly and are visible on top of the ground (Your contractor)
3     no cables were provided with each of the batteries as per SOK website description ( in order to set up in parallel)
4     batteries were never set up (Master, 2, 3, & 4)
5     unable to connect bms from battery to inverter
6     generator will not auto start when battery percentage is low.
7     zero communication in response to numerous emails detailing our issues and concerns, forcing us to reach out to each manufacturer directly for support
8     GROWATT inverter not compatible with supplied batteries
9     outdoor cabinet that was to provide both heat and cool not supplied (added separate heater months later)
10     system you built was to last a minimum of 3 days as per our needs as we are completely off grid (request) does not
11     purchasing a $40k system that is not working as promised

We thought we had done our due diligence with researching companies and products. However there was not any serious negative reviews at the time we were looking and proceeded with them. I am leaving this review to hopefully prevent another customer from going through what I currently am
Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions

Helpful and informative and quick response

Helpful service. Had a big order and they got me a easy way to receive it via fedex.

Very good customer service. There was an error in shipping as one set of components was incorrect. It is currently being corrected. Shipment came in very good condition

Great solar panels! I have 3 now. Link them together and they pull just over 300 watts on a winter day in Canada. I really like that they’re waterproof, no worries about corroded connections. They fold up fairly small and they’re light weight. I’ll likely buy one more. They shipped them out to me within a week👍🏻
