The Green Photon

The Green Photon handles solar work out of Myrtle Beach, AK. Ricardo runs the operation and takes on service calls for systems that were put in by other outfits. He fixes production shortfalls, rewires panels, balances arrays, swaps inverters, and handles warranty replacements on gear he did not sell. The crew also does related electrical tasks such as running new circuits and setting up generator hookups when storms knock out power.

Homeowners describe calling after their original installers vanished or stopped answering. Ricardo shows up, finds loose wires or unbalanced setups, resets parameters, and gets the kilowatt output back where it should be. Several mention him sorting out a 7.2 kWh array that had been underperforming for years and walking them through every charge before the work started. Others note he replaced an inverter on a SolarEdge unit and finished the job fast enough that a house sale could close on schedule.

Ricardo returns calls the same day, keeps customers posted on next steps, and sticks to quoted prices that reviewers call fair and reasonable. He works on both older Outback setups and newer arrays, and he makes time for follow-up checks without extra trips. Service stays local to the Myrtle Beach area with no mention of long waits once the job is booked.

“Ricardo and his team were so amazing, helpful, professional, and very knowledgeable. He didn’t hesitate to help me work through a warranty issue on a product he didn’t sell or install and had me back up and generating solar. He took the time to work with support and get me a warranty replacement for my solar system. He is very responsive and communicated all updates with me. I always felt like I knew the next step in the process, how and when it would be handled. I have confidence in Ricardo as my one call or email for all my solar system service needs, questions, and issues. I highly recommend The Green Photon!”

“When the solar company I used to install my solar disappeared I was at my wits end just want to do. Several people recommended I call Ricardo at Green photon. I just want to say my experience with Ricardo was amazing. He returned every phone call. He showed up when he was supposed to. He did an amazing job. And his prices were very reasonable. Ricardo @Green photon will be my go to person moving forward with my solar system.”

“A realtor gave me Ricardo‘s phone number when we were trying to sell our home to do some repairs. He has always been on time and very knowledgeable and very fair With his prices. He took care of our issues and we sold the house shortly after. We bought another old house that needed some repairs and updating and Ricardo has accommodated all of our needs. He really does take his time to make sure everything is done correctly. He is also a very nice man and Communicates well with his customers. I would not hesitate to Recommend him to anyone.”

“Ricardo is a true professional: capable, competent, efficient and smart! My 7.2 KWh system had been installed by someone else and was just not producing like I expected. The original installers were not responsive at all after the sale. I sought a second opinion with Ricardo and he discovered shoddy work, disconnected wires, and an unbalanced system. He rewired and balanced the system, reset the parameters and now the system is finally producing the way it should have been all along! Throughout the process Ricardo explained what needed to be done and what the charges would be. He was easy to work with and reliable. I can wholeheartedly recommend him. Dede M Myrtle Beach”

“I own a very sophisticated Outback Solar system, that Ricardo helped install some years ago. At that time working for another company. After Ricardo left, the other company very quickly went downhill with expertise and qualified people. I was obligated to continue with that company for a period of time. Then I started having issues with the Outback. The total incompetence of the people being sent to work the bugs out was incredible, and I ended up with a system that would not work and there was no recourse! After spending well over $100'000 on solar, I had NO SOLAR at all and it could not be repaired by the company involved. Getting back in touch with Ricardo, he had now established Green Photon. Now, after a very short period of time, and Green Photon expertise, my system is running better than ever, and producing power like it should! There were no parts or expensive replacements needed, just the pure expertise and intelligent problem solving by Green Photon that put the system back on line, working like it should! Thank you Green Photon, without you, I would still not have a system that worked. Michael McCourry”

“This company is the BEST! They showed up on time, replaced all of our ceiling lights, installed ceiling fans, installed plugs so we can hang our televisions without an ugly cord showing, and installed a plug allowing capability of using our generator to power our home during hurricane aftermath.
