    In September 2023 I ordered a solar charge controller from Windsoliel, the next day the owner called me and said he had to cancel my order, he said I could reorder in 10 days, as their credit card system was down. but two weeks later when I received my credit card statement there was a charge for $499.00. I called windsoliel and the owner will not return my money, I have called and talked to him four times, He lied and said he resolved the problem, but when I contacted the credit card company, he had not contacted them, every time I call, he just gives me a new excuse. I had to pay the charge, as the credit card company said I need to resolve problem with ********** myself. He is the owner, ********** **** customer service, and sales manager. I found 87 similar complaints against this company on different forums. I never received any product from Windsoliel. If their credit card system was down, how did they manage to charge my credit card.? I never reordered..

    Signed contracts for solar energy system design and installation 09/30/22. In January of 2023 system was somehow cancelled by the company, but was reinstated with new contracts signed. System was installed February 2023. System has yet to be activated! We have contacted the subcontractor, the company and our main energy company over the past 2 months to get the system up and working. Everyone says its not their issue. Come to find out through a very patient energy company worker that Windsoleil never sent in the payment and paperwork to the energy company so that the system switch could be completed. The contact number for the company just rings busy constantly for the past week so you cant talk to anyone. After 7 months we are very frustrated that we are unable to use our solar system and that Windsoleil is not doing their job in this situation! We would love help rectifying this issue.

    We are going to follow up with the energy provider and see when they can come out to do the final inspection for the system. They will be the ones to give us the permission to operate the system. We will contact the clients with updates regarding this to get their system up and running.
