Share your story
Our Install of the Month has been a tradition for the past three years. It’s a mark of pride not only for our customers, but for us as well. We love seeing each and every completed project, and want you to share it with us and our online community – whether you installed it yourself or hired a local installer. The work you put in deserves to be shared.
"The system comes in many parts, and seeing it sitting in my garage for a month before I attempted the install was intimidating."
Our Q&A questions below are your chance to give us all the details you care to share about your entire experience, good or bad, fun or daunting. From deciding to pick up the phone to call us, to pouring cement, to getting your permit: if it happened, we want to hear about it.

Share Your Experience
At Wholesale Solar, we have one goal: to help you get the best system for your needs without any fuss or pressure. Now is your chance to share what it was like working with us from your perspective.
Show Off Your DIY Chops
DIY is no walk in the park, but it is very rewarding and never without a story or two behind it. Let’s see that ingenious solution you came up with on the fly, the picture your kid took of you crying over your wiring diagrams, or your favorite trusty work boots.
Let Others See What It's Like
Most people don’t even know DIY solar is an option. Show them it’s doable, and a great way to save money on solar while getting a fully customized system you know is right for you.

THE SOLAR POWER POSE
