    one stop solar experience / review.

    I live in Orlando and just got the newest swimming pool solar system for my pool.  Does an excellent job and ive noticed a good increase in temperature .. making our pool usable again for this winter..  One stop solar did the work. they showed up on time and the installation looks professional.. Ill keep you posted soon as I am going back for the hot water heating savings soon.

    Would recommend.

    This is nothing more than a bait and switch operation.  They list on google addresses for their showroom floor as:  3881 Old Winter Garden Rd Orlando 32805 (this address belongs to HD supply - I went there and they had never heard of them or anything about a showroom floor)  The second address was 3676 Hogshead Rd Apopka FL 32703 listed on their business card(this was a dead end street in a residential neighborhood - I also went there and they said they had no showroom there either and never have.) 

    Google link to see the address if a FAKE:

    http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&source=hp&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=one+stop+solar+orlando&fb=1&gl=us&hq=one+stop+solar&hnear=orlando&cid=0,0,17250979621309804125&ei=2TEAS4L9H4uLnQeNkcHwAw&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CAgQnwIwAA

    They use a boiler room on 151 Wymore Rd #6888 Altamonte Springs FL 32714 to call unsuspecting home owners and tell them they have a 30% Tax Rebate and a Free Energy Audit.  Then they send out a sales person who has been trained for one week who has no idea they are in the middle of a scam.  The pitch goes like this "if you come to our showroom floor the price of the equipment is $14,095 but if you buy in your home tonight you get a manufacturer rebate of $2,000 and we will waive your $750 installation and $350 permit fee - price is now $10,995 and you have to do a CUSTOMER REACTION REPORT and accept or decline the offer.

    In reality there is no showroom floor and the equipment can be bought at any plumbing and solar store for $750 for the hot water heater and under $900 for the solar panel...

    Beware of everything this company says including how they explain the Federal Tax Credit.  Their intention is to sell you a $2,000 dollar system for $10,995 and then put a lein on your home as fast as the equipment is installed...
