SCSP Solar

SCSP Solar handles solar work out of North Charleston. The company focuses on putting up panels so homeowners can make their own power and cut ties with utility rates. They walk through designs that match what a house actually uses, handle the paperwork for county and power company approvals, and get systems running with the help of incentives that lower the upfront cost. Jon Mason meets with customers to size things right and explain the steps, while Paul Spence and Tayler Mulcahy keep the process moving and answer questions along the way. The outfit stays involved after the panels go live, checking settings and fixing issues like a failed inverter when it comes up.

Homeowners call them for full installations that often finish in one day or even half a day, plus tree trimming to clear shade and work with HOAs or county offices to get projects approved. Reviews mention systems that hit the expected output even with some shade on the roof, quick replacement of parts when needed, and setups that drop bills down to just the connection fee or less. Folks like George, Tim, Nikki, Daniel, and Dave show up on time, explain the electrical tie-in so it looks clean on the side of the house, and stay in touch until the inspector signs off. The work covers design renderings, material choices that hold up, and monitoring through an app so owners can track production.

They respond fast to calls and questions, keep pricing straightforward without pressure tactics, and finish jobs on the timeline they lay out first. Communication stays steady from the first meeting through permitting, which can stretch a couple months, and into startup. The crew works in the local area around North Charleston and nearby spots, with installs that leave the roof looking neat and the inspector impressed by how the wiring ties in.

“George, Tim, and Nikki provide excellent customer care. Their depth of knowledge, willingness to educate us, and then re-educate us, is paired with their kindness, attentiveness and patience. We are still working with these folks to adjust our settings to maximize our savings and are thankful for their partnership in this endeavor.”

“I met with a couple of the larger corporate solar companies and got the used car salesman feeling after hearing their sales pitch. Jon was knowledgeable, patient, and down to earth. He took the time to design a system that fit my needs perfectly and has performed as advertised. The install was done in a day and the workmanship was flawless. Jon even lined up a crew to trim and remove any trees that blocked the panels. I have recommended this company to friends and family and will continue to do so.”

“Competitive pricing, and great service. I've had my panels for years at this point and they are working well. When an inverter failed a year or so ago they contacted me and then replaced it. I highly recommend this company.”

“We have wanted to do solar panel installation for quite some time. We finally decided to pursue the project. Our goal was not to save money - although that helps - but rather do our part help saving the planet for generations to come. We contacted several companies and decided on SCSP. Jon Mason was very easy to work with. He responded to our questions timely and with patience. We were impressed with the materials they proposed to use. The process of getting approval from the county was not quick. The whole process took about 3 months. Overall we are very pleased with our decision to proceed with the installation.”

“they go above and beyond to install and maintain and monitor the system and have superior customer service should you have any issues.”

“My wife and I recently moved to our "forever home" on Isle of Palms. We really wanted to minimize our energy usage from the grid while also saving money in the long haul since we're planning to be here for a long time. We interviewed and got quotes from multiple providers, but Jon Mason was hands down the best person we interviewed. He is knowledgeable and experienced. He not only knows solar from top to bottom, but is also versed in building codes and in working with local power companies like Dominion. In the end, SCSP exceeded our expectations. I've been working in building design and construction for more than 30 years, so I'm used to taking whatever schedule I first hear and doubling it. In the case of SCSP, they actually beat their originally estimated schedule by many weeks. Their app made it very clear what stage our project was at, and they handled all approvals by HOAs and the power company. When it came time for the installation, their crew showed up right on schedule and completed all work in three days, just as they estimated. The team was courteous and collaborative in working with us to locate batteries and other equipment. In the end is was a fantastic experience, a”

“We have great news to share. Last Thursday, just before dusk, I had the chance to turn the system on. The system is working and fully online—PERFECT! SCSP Solar delivered one of the best installations and products we've ever purchased. The entire process—from the initial quote to going online and generating the first kWhs—was completed in under nine weeks. That’s impressive for such a complex solar system! We truly appreciate all of you and everyone involved in this process for your hard work and dedication!”

“We had been wanting to install solar panels for two years and waited until we had found a company we wanted to work with. SCSP is run by people who have solar panels themselves and have high standards for making their design match customer electricity consumption. We have some shade on our panels, and they accounted for that in their design. We are making the electricity we expected to make. Our questions were answered with a lot of expertise, and they helped us understand our electricity bill which is a little confusing at first. SCSP is well-regarded by roofing companies and has longevity in the business, both of which are important to us. We recommend SCSP highly.”

“We have always wanted to do our part in helping reduce our carbon footprint while saving some money doing so. I've even turned in my car for an EV and now we wanted to add solar energy to our home. We've done the research and am very pleased that we chose SCSP Solar to help us with this transition. First, the solar rep Paul Spence was very knowledgeable and honest with his presentation and Tayler, the Customer Service Expert was there for us all the way as our system got up and running. The administration setup was the longest wait, but necessary in order to get our county and electric company notified. After that, it was smooth sailing. So if you're in the market for solar, this is the company to call.”

“Daniel with SCSP did a great job with our installation. He was very thorough and explained the entire process. What I liked more than anything was that he was always quick to communicate what was going on throughout the entire process. Nothing but five stars here highly recommend you use them for any solar installation. I know we will be using them again on future properties.”

“SCSP did an excellent job with our solar installation. Jon Mason was efficient and professional, and was able to size the system, build a rendering, and explain the entire process during our first consultation. The installation took about half a day, startup went smoothly, and every phase of the process was painless.”

“SCSP was recommended from a friend of mine. Their sales associate Paul Spence was very knowledgeable and brief. He answered all my questions and gave me a reasonable price. A one that I could recover for 6.5 years based on the similar consumption. Their installation crew completed the installation for one day. The only little thing is that they put the edge of their leather on the facia and did a little damage. The communication with the office was great. Tayler Mulcahy was very friendly and she was keeping me updated throughout the different stages of permitting. It took about 2 months all together and now I can enjoy the fact that I’m 0% dependable on the grid while saving few trees. I love the fact that SCSP is a local Company and would highly recommend it.”

“SCSP has been very personable, always ready to help at any time, always current with latest technology, funding options, laws and tax rules. They seem like they love solar and are into it! They are very creative in maximizing all the other efficiency upgrades being wrapped into the project to get a great overall tax benefit! Had a great installation which was quick, less than 8 hrs, and very clean and looks great!”

“We had solar panels placed in our field last fall (2019). We have loved them! Our electric bill automatically dropped to only $10 connection fee plus our exterior security light. However, after a year, we went four months without even paying that! We first saw Timothy Barts and his family at a home show. They explained everything fully. We were skeptical because we had one company come out and their numbers did not match up. Then they came out to do an estimate. They were friendly and when I did the math, after they left, it all matched up. He said it should zero out my electric bill and it did. They are an amazing group and we love the job they did for us! I would recommend them to everyone!”

“Best team ever!! We could not be more pleased with our system and the exceptional, A+ professional, courteous, customer service from Jon, Alan, and team from start to finish. Installation began at 8am, just as scheduled, and by lunch, like magic, we had approximately 30 panels in place on our roof. We like the fact that the manufacturer is a single, North American company producing all parts/software and the strong, transferable, 25-year warranty is also a plus. :) Definitely a green Thumbs Up!”

“SCSP Solar did a fantastic job from start to finish. The process and financial costs were transparent. The team communicated from start to finish and the installation looks great. The installation received a raving review from the town inspector. I would highly recommend working with SCSP for your solar needs.”

“My wife and I spoke with a number of solar companies before we connected with SCSP Solar. Switching to solar can be a daunting process, but it was obvious to us from the first meeting that SCSP Solar had their act together and knew what they were doing. They designed a system that was not only tailored to meet our specific energy needs but also sits discretely on the southern exposure of our roof so that it's hardly even noticeable. The SCSP team worked with us every step of the way, from system design to filing all the paperwork to installation, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The system works as advertised, and we are already seeing a HUGE reduction in our electricity bill. The app used to monitor the system is easy to use and allows us to monitor the system performance any time we want. We enthusiastically recommend SCSP Solar to anyone interested in switching to solar.”

“All questions got answered to my satisfaction, and I had alot of them. I wish our electric company didn't have such a monopoly being in cahoots with Sante Cooper. I was told by the salesperson that my electric company screwed its what they call Part Owners, but I don't think they need to screw us so badly. All work done by SCSP Solar was done to my satisfaction. And the Enlighten App is remarkable on what it shows you about panels.”

“We are beyond impressed with SCSP! We had multiple quotes, but Jonathan was the most detailed and catered to our solar needs. He gave us a true understanding from the beginning of what to expect and how it works. He went above and beyond to meet with us at a time convenient for us. The install process was flawless. Dave and the other installers did a phenomenal job. They worked tirelessly and finished in a timely manner. They had great attention to detail. We are pleased to be up and running with solar and can't thank Jonathan, Dave and the team at SCSP enough!”

“We met with another company prior to the SCSP and also looked at several web sites. The staff at the SCSP was honest with us, did not try to pressure us or attempt to bait us with "free" or "extra" add-ons in order to get us to sign with them. Jon, our project manager, came to the appointment with a prepared estimate designed specifically for our home and displayed excellent product and process knowledge. He was on top of the whole project and kept us up to date at all times. He always responded to our questions immediately and helped every step of the way. Their installers were very kind, friendly and efficient. This family owned and operated company really cares about the work they are doing. I would choose them again!”
