George has helped me with two solar projects. In both he has been knowledgeable, designed for my function and budget, and follows through on his commitments. One project was to retrofit a 2007 Sprinter RV, the second was to do a solar system for boat trolling motor, and he is now helping outfit a new Sprinter so I have the capacity to charge my two e-bikes.Update - Carsten Energy recently completed a 300 Watt solar system that is integrated into the charging system of my new 2020 4wd Sprinter and also has a shore power connection. As before, it functions and performs as designed. The panels are mounted very low profile given limited clearance in my shop.He also installed a diesel heater under the passenger seat that works great!
I highly recommend Carstens Energy Solutions as a top notch solar system company.George Carstens is the owner of the company and is a highly professional and competent solar system expert.Before I contacted George I had talked to, and recieved numerous bids from several RV dealers and solar installers for a very extensive solar system install on our brand new 2020 Montana High Country 384BR.None of these companies met our strict criteria as to what we wanted our solar system to do.When I met George Carstens he listened to, and asked questions about what my wife and I expected out of a solar system and he didnt flinch when my wife informed him that she wanted everything in our 5th wheel to be able to run off the solar system. And she meant everything.From start to finish Carstens Energy Solutions went above and beyond everything we asked, including numerous add ons to the system.We are fulltime Rvers and are also fulltime boondockers. After several months of living in our new unit our solar system has continuously lived up to, and beyond our expectations.We give our upmost trust, respect and thanks to Carstens Energy Solutions for a job well done.George Carstens has a natural ability to look past you as a customer and makes you feel as if you are family.George continues to monitor our system via the internet and keeps it tuned up for maximum efficiency.Chuck and Shelley Andrews
George was recommended by Battleborn for an upgrade I wanted from lead acid to lithium. George was top notch in all areas. There was a tricky problem to overcome due to sloppy lazy work done by my RV dealer, but George helped we work through it. He is simply the best. I highly recommend him!
George came recommended from Battle Born Batteries and I understand why. If you want quality work at a reasonable price George is the person to talk to.We wanted an upgrade to our 5th wheel as the stock batteries weren’t cutting it. I called George and he helped guide me through the equipment selection; there’s more to the electric system than solar panels and batteries. George is incredibly knowledgeable about the systems he designs and installs. Selecting the setup was a collaborative process to get to the right solution. George takes time to understand what you, as the user, want the system to do.George demonstrated his professionalism and pride in his work the day after we picked up the trailer. We camped on the west side of the Cascades in a spot with questionable power. Our coach’s power flickered, and I called George for help. The next morning, he drove three hours to us to check out our system and make sure everything was working well. In the end the problem turned out to be the campground power and not the system George installed.We’ve been running with our new system for several weeks and love it. George does amazing work and we will definitely come back to him if (when) we decide to upgrade some more. I highly recommend George for any RV electrical work you need done.
George, owner of Carstens Energy Solutions, installed lithium batteries, battery and inverter monitors, ran wiring and fine tuned our electrical panels in our 5th wheel RV. George is extremely knowledgeable and experienced! He explained everything he did and how to operate the new monitors, etc. He did a fantastic job and we are very pleased with the outcome. We definitely recommend George and Carstens Energy Solutions, and in fact we plan to have him install solar panels next. Thank you again George!
