Good (B-) — Insolar Honesty Grade

Elevation positions itself as a 'whole-home electrification' company rather than a pure-play solar installer — bundling solar with smart panels, HVAC, and insulation. The bundled-product model has produced a moderate complaint profile, primarily around upsell pressure during the sales process. No active state AG actions.

/ Best for

Customers in the Western US interested in a full home-electrification package (solar + smart home + efficiency upgrades) priced as a single transaction.

/ Watch out for

Bundled products mean bundled contracts. Confirm the unbundled price of each component before signing — the solar-only price is sometimes more competitive elsewhere.
