Comments regarding Silicon Solar Inc.

I purchased the AquaJet Pro Kit Solar pump with battery assist and carefully followed all of their instruction so that the battery would be adequately charged before using.

I have had it installed in my small fountain since December 2020 and I am very very disappointed in this pump and battery. It shuts off in the full sun, and I do NOT have the timer on. It does not work with the battery assist when the sun sets. At best it works intermittently. I have had more success with a $20.00 solar pump than this 130.00 pump. It's a good thing it was only needed for decorative purposes and not for something vital.

I cannot recommend this pump to anyone. I feel like I threw my money away when I purchased this pump.

I attempted to send correspondence to this company and never received a reply.

I bought and received a solar pump from silicon solar in 12/2015.
It didn't work for my purposes, the company said I could return it, and gave me an RMA # and address for return in 12/2015
I still haven't received a refund, despite many emails and phone calls to date- 7/2016.

I am researching the production of stevia, a sugar-substitute, in urban gardens. This is an effort of several years. And I am self-financing this urban stevia project.

I decided to prototype a low-cost hydroponic system. AC power is not possible where I work. I needed an inexpensive, yet effective solar powered water pump.

I ordered a $75 Chinese pump. It functioned for more than a year, providing a good flow despite my many problems with broken pipes, an empty reservoir, clogs from debris -- and then it failed.

I ordered a $130 Silicon Solar panel / pump system. Initially, the pump functioned per specifications. Yet after two months, the flow had dropped to less than half of what Silicon Solar advertised.

I did not know why the pump had ceased to function as specified. I only knew I had to get another pump as soon as possible.

In desperation, I ordered a Silicon Solar $230 panel / pump system.

( Since then, I tried several times to clean or repair the $130 pump. Not possible. )

Los Angeles is now enduring a heat wave with dry wind. Due to the failure of the Silicon Solar $130 pump, rows of stevia have withered and may have died. Years of nurturing those plants, perhaps lost.

And the $230 panel/pump I ordered?

I ordered the new pump in desperation. I paid in advance. I needed the pump that day. Immediately.

Weeks passed. When I called their 'customer service,' I spoke with someone in foreign call center who promised me 'priority service.'

After almost a month, I am receiving emails telling me they will send an email when they ship the panel/pump system.

If they had told me at the time I ordered and paid, that they would need months to deliver the panel and pump, I would have found some other supplier for the system.

I very much regret not researching the background of the Silicon Solar company.

Thank you, Dave's Garden. My urban stevia project will continue even if Silicon Solar fails to deliver the pump I ordered and paid for. However, when I find another supplier, I will check their name against the forums here. Thank you.

totally negative they are horrible.
pump 6 weeks late now another 6 weeks?

Wow, I wish I read all these negative reviews before making a purchase with Silicon Solar!

They claim that they are Family Owned & Operated Since 1997 but customer service can barely type English. Silicon Solar is probably outsourcing their "support" to evade minimum wage laws in the USA. There's evidence that they write fake positive reviews here too. Fortunately Dave's Garden website at least put a stop to that.

I purchased their Solar Water Fountain Pump with Battery Backup 9V, the AquaJet-Pro-Kit-9V. The power was as expected but the battery portion stopped after a few months. I checked the battery with a volt meter and the battery only showed about 3 volts AC even after letting it charge in full sun for days. The battery is useless. Either it's extremely poor quality or defective.

After getting the run around for months, I finally got an email from Silicon Solar stating that they don't even warranty their battery after ONE month. Then they ignored my replies after that.

All I wanted was a solar pump for my bird fountain with a battery backup. I could have purchased the same or better quality on Ebay for a third of the price.

At close to $100 this was an expensive lesson. If other unsuspecting customers are trying to find reviews about products, hopefully they'll find all the reviews here. Don't waste your time and money.

Stay away from all of their products.

To anyone who is considering making a purchase with Silicon Solar, please be advised that this company is guilty of fraud.

Last summer I placed an order with them for an item that was on sale. Surprisingly this sale item as out of stock. I was told that it would be shipped by the end of September

September came and went and the order never shipped. By the end of October I requested a refund. After two months of emails, phone calls and constant promises that I would get my refund, I stopped hearing from them.

In January I filed a consumer complaint with the New Mexico District Attorney General's office. The DA sent three letters to them and never received a response. The case has now been closed and I never got my refund.

Their web site proudly proclaims this to be a "family business". Well, there are families, and there are families.

If you are considering buying from them, I strongly advise that you not do so.

So many have told MY story... "charged my credit card... no notice of back order when placing the order... promises after promises of being shipped out with a tracking number and etc. with no resolution." After a month and a half (and keeping all email exchanges on the subject which proved useful), I advised them to cancel my order and refund my money: which they did not do but promised me to check via a tracking number. I didn't wait for them to do anything because I was highly suspicious of them at this point when I canceled the order. When I gave notice to them, I IMMEDIATELY contacted my credit card company and disputed the charge, and my credit card company immediately refunded my credit card and created a claim. The credit card company investigated and I assisted with my information. Incredibly, Silicon Solar disputed my claim for a refund claiming I had received but never returned the item, and then changed their story to say I was sent the refund via check. I provided my email evidence and asked the claim department request Silicon Solar to provide a delivery receipt for the tracking number they claimed to use or conversely, to show my signature on the canceled check they supposedly sent me (via a tracking number): of course they could not do either because they had neither, and promptly dropped their defense and therefore my dispute stands, making the refund stand. From beginning to end it was a 3 month ordeal involving Silicon Solar.

Keep records, cut the transaction short when you believe it isn't going the way it should, contact your credit card company right away after cancelling your order.

Best of luck to you.... I will NEVER use Silicon Solar and will tell my story over and over again of the horrible experience with these people.

Pretty much the same exact experience as everyone else: Ordered a solar fountain pump on 6/14/14. Waited 3 weeks for delivery. No pump. Called and emailed Silicon Solar. Took several attempts, and finally received a response back telling me the pump was back ordered, and not expected in until 9/17/14. Requested a refund on 7/2/14. Have sent many emails, made many calls. All the same excuse, about taking "7 to 10 days, have to work through our gateway company to get a refund either credited back to your card, or mailed to you." No refund to date. Now, not returning my calls or emails. Fortunately for me, I used my debit card, and my bank has issued me a refund and are investigating the purchase and the company. I have also reported them to the New York BBB and will also file a complaint with the state's attorney general office. //www.ag.ny.gov/consumer-frauds/Filing-a-Consumer-Complaint . They need to be put out of business, based on all their complaints all over the Internet.

I purchased a solar pump for a garden fountain on May 21, 2014. After almost 2 months of non-delivery, I cancelled the order on July 15 and was promised a prompt refund. It is now Aug. 22, and after two emails promising prompt action in July, I still have no refund. They are no longer answering emails. My first mistake - paying with PayPal. PayPal has no responsibility beyond 45 days from the date of order, regardless of when it was delivered. So my only recourse is the company. I will also be filing a complaint with the NY State Attorney General Bureau of Frauds and Consumer Protection (//www.ag.ny.gov/consumer-frauds/Filing-a-Consumer-Complaint). Based on these reviews, it would appear that they have a pattern of failing to fulfill orders.

Ordered a small solar water pump for a small fountain on April 27. Today is July 13. Still waiting. Keep getting emails about delays. Was under the impression they were a manufacturing facility but am now suspecting pump is made in China and they are waiting for it to get made? I don't know except after 3 months still no pump that was supposed to be here before mother's day to complete the present for my wife. In any case, I will be cancelling the order and probably fighting like hell for a hundred dollar refund. Oy vey. Move on when it comes to this company.

ordered a solar water heater in june 2013, paid for it. When I called and emailed again in june 2014 said they would refund after one year of emails and excuses. today july 2 2014, no solar water heater, no money! Good website, no action.

Sunmaxx doing business as Silicon Solar are thieves!!!! I have a complaint filed with the NY Attorney General's office of Consumer Affairs and Fraud. They claim an A+ BBB rating but the BBB has an alert posting on Sunmaxx as they are not rated and have MANY complaints against them. They took $4,500 from me for 3 solar arrays sent me some boxes that only contained legs for the arrays and told me that they were in the process of moving their office, so there would be delays in filling my order. I spoke to another person in the company and she indicated that my order was being drop shipped from a supplier of theirs. They lie to your face and don't respond to phone calls or emails. I'm taking them to court.

Well my experience is not a good one. Basically, I should have known better. Always check site reviews before purchasing so you don't get disappointed. I ordered a bunch of stuff from their site several solar cells and some other stuff so I could start a project of building a solar panel. Me and my friends were excited when I told them about it. I ordered it on 3/13/14. It's now 6/24/14 and I've yet to see a package arrive or a shipping order received. I don't expect to see it anytime soon maybe never. If it's never I guess we can call them a bunch of thieves. I kept trying to email them and each time your solar cells are in production we are expecting them to be completed at random date, fill in the blank, here __/__/__. They just keep pushing back further and further I guess that's what they're good at. All in all I'm down 150$. I'm going to look for a different site to buy solar cells maybe ask some local people in my friend group see if anyone else knows of a good site. Maybe I'll receive the package from them sometime next century.

Posted on April 28, 2014, updated May 5, 2014
All the reviews were 2008-2009. Supposedly, the recent college grad who had started this company had realized they had a problem and had reorganized the company and sorted things out. Apparently not. Here we are in 2014. We ordered a solar pump for our new ecosystem pond & stream. Husband spent much time with them to figure out best size. What they sent - and swore would work - barely pumped the water a couple of feet. Took a week of calls to get return authorization. Only one woman could authorize and she was out. Now we've been waiting for new pump for over two weeks. Got a box on Friday. Nothing in it but the solar panel. They swear they sent the whole system and "it must have been stolen out of the box." Sure. And then this weekend I read a virtually identical story on RipOff report: //www.ripoffreport.com/r/Silicon-Solar/Bainbridge-New-York-13733/Silicon-Solar-Ultimate-in-being-RUDE-EVASIVE-CON-ARTISTS-Bainbridge-New-York-370136

Now I doubt we'll ever get this pump. This guy has no business running a company. He should hire a grown-up to handle the business side of things.

Do NOT buy anything from Silicon Solar. I purchased $200 worth of solar lights and fountains. All is JUNK. The lights all are connected with very fine little wires that are all broken by the time you receive them. One fountain had a panel/pump combo that would not fit through the fountain opening so I had to hang it over the side out of the basin. It looks terrible. I spent months trying to get the company customer support to send me the correct items and all I got was a runaround. I finally, after 4 months emailed for the last time telling them that I was now very frustrated and asked if I was ever going to get what they promised. It has been another month and now they have completely stopped communicating. I wish I had come here first to read these reviews. So, DON'T get sucked in by their low prices for outdoor items. They have TERRIBLE customer service staff and the stuff is crap.

I bought a cascading fountain from this company online, 2 and half weeks ago and still have not received the item nor any info regarding my order status.

What i have got so far is the order number and even that i have to email them to get it. Their website that says you can track order is faulty as well.
The sales rep advised that he will will get back to me with a tracking number which he didn't. Subsequently, i send another follow up email couple of days later to follow up and was told that he is unsure and will check and nothing has come back since.

I have also send several emails to their customer support but with no reply whatsoever.Tried calling one day and told to leave a voicemail.

This is by far my worst online shopping experience. I can only hope that the item will arrive at my door step one day. God knows when?!

Just thought my experience would be beneficial to those looking at buying from Silicon Solar. The website seems to suggest they have good products with reasonable pricing but to say that their customer service is appaling is an understatement.

I decided to give Silicon Solar a try, despite the many negative reviews on this site and others, but because of the letter from the company I decided to give them a chance. Big mistake!!!

The best way to describe my purchase experience with Silicon Solar is by the email I received from them yesterday with the subject of "Feedback on Your Recent Order." The email was blank, no content, nothing. Silicon Solar is so far from having their stuff together that I have no idea why they are taking orders. The incompetence of Silicon Solar is beyond description and I cannot urge readers of this review enough to not waste their time with this company. I might recommend Silicon Solar to my enemies, but they would be the only ones and I would only do it so that they could experience the frustration that I did. Do not purchase anything from Silicon Solar!

The LATEST AND L.A.S.T. "EXPERIENCE" with Silicon Solar is I ordered a SPECIFIC pump for a Solar powered fountain that I bought from them they sent me the wrong pump packaged in a TORN IN HALF LEGAL ENVELOPE, charged me $12 for shipping on a $14 pump and when I DEMANDED a refund, they, refunded only the cost of the pump. I am out the outrageously high cost of $12, plus another $6 that it cost me to ship it back to them.
This is NOT the first time I have had BAD dealings with these ROOKIES. I should have learned from my FIRST MISTAKE--MADE back in 2003/2004 that I had forgotten about--when I HAD TO GET MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY INVOLVED TO GET MY MONEY BACK.

Posted on October 18, 2010, updated January 17, 2011
I bought my roof hot water solar system about one year ago. It cost about $3k and almost $1k in parts for me to install it myself. The first thing I did was install the interior portion with the tanks and piping to a new stainless steel electric hot water heater (the almost $1k does not include this heater). I had to wait until next year when they put on the new roof to attach the collector over it.

The directions for putting this unit together are very minimal. Without experience I would not recommend it. I have had plumbing electrical, electronic and mechanical experience. Once I attached the controller to the roof unit it would not work. It turns out that it needs a 10k ohm thermistor that fits into a 3/16 diameter tube in the unit on the roof and in the tank. They sent me a 1k ohm unit that did not match the controller. After about 7 weeks they sent me two $3 thermistors that went with the controller. There was no way they would fit. They were the bolt on lug type. So, in the original shipment they sent me the wrong controller and sensors. They were mismatched by the company and would not work. I called them (many times) and their final answer was that I had exceeded the 30 day warranty. Can you imagine that?!? I am literally and figuratively left out in the cold. There is no way that anyone could assemble this unit in 30 days and wait for a new roof to be put on. They shipped my the wrong controllers that I paid for and want me to suck it up.

I picture Silicon Solar as a room of cubicals with salesman putting together units from suppliers and never knowing what they had for materials to sell. I never spoke to anyone that had first hand experience/knowledge with the unit. One comment was that the technology is changing rapidly. This made me think that what would happen if you needed a replacement part???

I read their comments at the beginning of this thread and nothing has changed as of 10/18/2010. The unit works good manually and i like the heat pipe design. It is not a solid panel and lets the wind through so that a gust will not take it away off the roof; but otherwise make up your own mind. If you buy one put it together quickly,very quickly!

They charged my card $96.24 last Oct and have sent NOTHING.

On June 12 2008, I ordered a DIY20W kit to make a small solar module. Since it was out of stock, I graciously waited some months and gave it no more thought since my card had not been then charged.
When my credit card was later charged on Oct 27 the item was still on back order, I stupidly remained patient for several months accepting their excuses.
After about 5 intervening email exchanges at least 5 phone calls every few weeks, they told me the vendor no longer makes them. Rather than wait forever for a substitute vendor to make them, I asked for my money back in early March. They of course promised the billing dept would refund in 3 weeks (end of Mar) but had to deal with some computer problems.

I'm still waiting for my money back and biting my tongue to keep civil.
This is my worst ever online order experience.

"On Aug 31, 2009 6:18 PM, Silicon Solar Inc. responded with:

Brian, I would like to sincerely apologize for your experience. What happened with the vendor was a matter of unfortunate timing, and then it seems that someone mistakenly charged this order to your credit card, which has since been corrected. Since then, we have mailed out a refund check to credit you the full amount. Again, I apologize and thank you for your patience in this matter."

How do I explain how bad my experience was? I'll start from the beginning. Well, I saw several bad reviews on siliconsolar before I made my purchase, but their price was just too good. I broke what I needed into two orders, one real small to test them, and then if they proved "safe" I was going to place the second and larger order.

Needless to say, it has taken 7 months, countless phone calls and emails to get my money back. They kept saying they would fix the order, but they didn't. They then said they would give me a refund, but they didn't. Finally the fraud department at my bank refunded me my $332.88. So I paid interest on $332.88 for 7 months, because they sent a partial order that I couldn't use, and never finished anything they started.

In order to give you an idea of how much crap I had to go through, I'm attaching one of the email chains that went between me and the company. If you notice, at one point I even cc'ed every email address I could find for every employee at the company just trying to get somebody to respond.

I did remove my name from the emails, that’s the only thing I changed. When you look at the dates, I want you to realize that my bank refunded me yesterday, 4-13-2009, for this purchase. After the last email from them, they were several phone calls, including one from my bank's fraud department, which at that point I was guaranteed a refund within 7 days. I see how much their guarantee was worth...

Note: This is AFTER the Jan 2009 comment about improved customer service.

Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice... And I must be an idiot.

I'm not sure if they just don't care about the smaller orders or if their entire system is filled with incompetence. I ordered from them a few years ago and had problems then. (order lost, found, lost again, shipped, item didn't work, got it to work, stopped working after a month, gave up). I decided that it had been awhile and they were still in business, so hopefully things had improved. So I attempted (being the operative word) to place another order this week.

It turned out to be an adventure in futility. The online system refused to take a credit card. I tried multiple times and multiple cards. Still refused. I called customer service and was told that they knew there was a problem and they could do the order manually. About 30minutes later and repeated attempts they thought they had the order completed and would 'watch it'. Today I received an email noting the order was not completed. I called the phone# noted and spoke, again, to customer service. After many more attempts (and about 30 more minutes) the result is still no order. It appears they don't need my business after all.

I will say that the people on the phone are nice, just that they can't seem to get anything completed. They don't offer any problem escalation or even any compensation for all of the time and effort required (discount, priority shipping, whatever). This seems to be either very poor customer service, poor training, incompetence or all of the above.

I realize that the green industry is getting a lot of attention now and they probably have a lot of other customers. But I have to believe that the individual can make a difference. I feel it my duty to warn as many as possible to avoid this site if they want to avoid a lot of time and frustration. Buyer beware indeed.

"On Mar 26, 2009 12:56 PM, Silicon Solar Inc. responded with:

We explained we were having problems with our online payment processing. Then sent an email explaining & that we apologize for the inconvenience and offered a discount toward next purchase."

I ordered solar lights (christmas lights) for Outdoors in November. They told me they would not be able to fulfill the order, which was fine, so I asked for a refund. I had to call about the refund about 6 weeks later because I had not received it. It's March and I'm still waiting for my refund. I'm filing complaints, I was ripped off. Save your money..find a reputable business!

"On Mar 3, 2009 8:29 AM, Silicon Solar Inc. responded with:

We do apologize for the delay on your refund. We are reorganizing our customer service. A request has been done to our billing dept to refund asap."

I am writing this in response to the message from “I”, “The Silicon Solar Support Team” posted January 14th 2009.
This company’s customer support policy has NOT improved!
I ordered a HP-300FX High Output Solar Pump Kit with the "Night and Day Power Pack". The unit would only function directly connected to the solar panel, not with the "Power Pack". After checking the wiring in the "Power Pack" I discovered there was a diode (one way gate for electric current) that was not installed correctly. I called Silicon Solar and explained the problem. They didn't believe me. I emailed diagrams along with photographs showing a voltmeter attached to the unit and that it could not possibly function properly in its present configuration. They still didn't believe me. I rewired the diode correctly and it has been working ever since.
But the story does not end there. I should have learned something from my previous experience:-( Doh.
I ordered a SunMaxx 20 hot water solar array from Silicon Solar. It arrived with no obvious damage. I finished installing the unit the middle of February 2009 and noticed a slight white discoloration at the bottom of one of the tubes.
Now for the real story:
I called customer support and was put on hold for 15 minutes, after which time I was given the option of leaving a voice message. WHAT? I did not leave a message. I continued trying to reach a real person over the next several days.
I finally reached a real person.
Here is the transcript:
ME: I’m calling about a defective evacuated tube.
CS: Please describe the damage.
ME: I noticed a slight white discoloration at the bottom of one of the tubes when I removed it from the box it was shipped in. We had an ice storm shortly after finishing the installation. The following day was sunny and the discolored tube was the only one the ice had melted off of. I measured the exterior temperature with a hand held infrared meter and discovered the discolored tube was 20 degrees warmer than the adjacent tubes.
CS: The evacuated tube is defective. I see by your invoice that you ordered this a while ago. You have to report damage within 24hrs of the shipment arriving.
ME: What? You did not supply any information on how to evaluate the condition of the tubes on arrival. There was no obvious damage. How was I supposed to know that a slight discoloration was a fatal defect?
CS: We have since changed our policy to include information on what to look for upon arrival of the shipment.
ME: So will you replace the tube?
CS: Please email me a picture. If we approve the replacement, we cannot ship a single tube. We only ship four tubes at a time. We may give you a credit for one tube. Then you would then have to order four tubes, get credit for one and pay for the other three, plus shipping.
ME: What? You can’t send a single tube?
CS: I see that you are not far from our factory. Perhaps one of our drivers could drop one tube off if you are approved for a replacement. We will get back to you in a few days.
End of transcript.
I did not damage this tube.
This is not what you would expect from a company that has a ”mission to ensure that we provide our customers with the highest level of service.”
I have been running service companies for over 30 years. I wouldn’t dream of treating a customer this way. If I did, I would have been out of business in short order.
The SunMaxx 20 cost me $750. There are 20 tubes, a manifold and aluminum framework. I would guess that the tubes are worth $30 each. That leaves $150 for the manifold and frame. And that’s at retail rates. You would think that for $30, they would see the value in customer satisfaction.
I will be posting more about this on YouTube and this forum when I know more.

"On Mar 2, 2009 12:00 PM, Silicon Solar Inc. responded with:

We do apologize for the communication between you and our customer service. We are glad you were able to repair your pump yourself. As far as the tube is concerned, we show we refunded the $30.00. We are in process of reorganizing our customer service. If there is anything we can do for you please call 1-800-786-0329."

I am a hot water solar installer. I recently got to view Silicon Solar 's domestic hot water system. It is not well made and looks like it will last 1-2 years before breaking down and causing a lot of frustration to a home owner who paid about $8,000 in installation. If youu're going to invest in hot water solar (which you should weather you approach it from an environmental or economic stance) be sure you're talking to an experienced installer. Not someone who signed up with Silicon solar as a get rich quick solution.

I purchased via the web a Solar Hidden Rock Pump on August 11, 2008. The thing never worked out of the box, even after going to their "FAQ" trouble shooting section of their web site for this product. I called "customer service" and spoke with a supervisor who basically told me that I had to ship this piece of junk (which cost over $65.00) back to them at my expense and they would quote, unquote "test it" to see if it was defective... So, I guess they think I'm either a dope or a liar...I asked for my money back and they of course refused...They offered store credit (like I'd ever buy something there again!). I am writing to Andrew Cuomo, NYS attorney general and also to the NYSE consumer affairs commissioner about this outfit. With so many honorable ecommerce sites out there, this place should be shut down because of their business practices and approach to not standing behind their merchandise.

"On Feb 24, 2009 2:19 PM, Silicon Solar Inc. responded with:

Yes, we would have advised to send product back to us with a return authorization code. With the receipt of the shipping back to us. We have found in many instances that the product is fine. That the customer(s) did not understand how to install. And after we receive product back, we would inspect it. If after inspections we find there is a defective product and it is within the warranty period we would reimburse customer for shipping. "

I should have known better than to order from Silicon Solar. I did so because I was so sure this was the same company from whom I ordered a smaller solar panel and pump a couple of years ago. It was NOT. I ordered a 37" solar panel and pump with battery backup. I guess might be better off than some of you because I only received the battery back which is $45 and if I can get the rest of the charge off of my Credit Card I'll consider it a lesson learned. You are all so right, this is indeed the WORST company to deal with on any level. First off, I called them to let them know I hadn't received all of it. But I waited a couple of days to be sure it wasn't in a seperate box. By then it was Saturday and when I called them the automated system put me in a "loop" that never put me through to anyone although it said it was transferring my call. I waited and waited but there was nothing. I got through to someone Monday or Tuesday. Was told it would be sent out and should get it by Aug 13 or 14. Called again and was told it had not gone out. By now aren't we seeing a trend here? I hadn't received anything this week, the 18th, 19th, 20th... called the 21st and the gal said she would tell shipping to get it out today. I thought about this afterward and decided (after reading these reviews) that, hey, I'm not going to get this stuff and, if I do I'm not going to be happy with the quality and then I'll have the hassle of trying to return it and probably being stuck with it. I emailed to cancel since I couldn't get through to talk to someone. I've called and called and sometimes I get disconnected before anyone gets around to answering. Sometimes someone begins to say something and then I'm either disconnected or put on a silent hold. Well, to make this long story shorter, today I called again, trying several times and finally put my phone on speaker and just let it play music for 12 minutes and I actually got someone, Christy. I told her about getting only a battery backup and not the rest. I said I wanted to cancel the remainder. She said it hadn't shipped. Well, duh, that's why I want to cancel it. I asked for an RMA # and she said to use the one I was given. HUH?? I said I didn't have one. She said I was emailed one on the 13th. No, I says, I never received an email and I've checked my email consistantly because I was told before that they would email me when it was sent. Now she says she's sending another and it should arrive within 24 to 48 hours. I don't expect that will happen EVER.. I think I'm stuck with a battery or, if I return it, I'm still stuck with the cost of it. $45 for this piece of plastic with some wires and styrofoam peanuts floating around in it is a travesty, a piece of junk as everyone here has stated. If I do get this returned and I do get some credit back on it I will be out the "restocking fee" of 25%. When Christy told me about the restocking fee she was a bit beligerent in her attitude as if I wasn't aware of this fee and should just keep it rather than hassle. No, AT THE TIME I ordered this stuff I was not aware of all their RULES. After getting all the runaround I went to their website and read the terms and conditions and yes, they do have a restocking fee and no, they do not take returns that have been USED. How on earth will anyone know whether something works if they haven't used it??? I haven't USED this battery backup since I don't have any of the stuff that it "backs up". It would be swell if I could make it work somehow with the other pump I have from Simply Fountains. Now, that's been a wonderful pump. 2 years now and it works great and I don't even have to clean it all the time like some I've had. We've decided to go electric and forget the big solar panel. Now I just have the hassle of trying to get this $270.06 charge off my card. That's another point...they charged my card ON THE DAY I ORDERED this stinking stuff!!! IF THERE WERE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THIS COMPANY I WOULD LOVE TO BE INCLUDED!!!!

They never issued me a credit on an item I returned which caused me to pay full price. Their customer service is the absolutely worse I have ever seen of any company in my life ans I've been around for some time. They lie, hang up on you, won't return a phone call and are very rude. Must be a new york thing. Their return policy is only 60 days, got that, 60 days. They have raped me for the last time. When I called for an RA number, I was told they would send it via e-mail. Never got it and when I called back, there was no record of my call in their computer system. Imagine that. Then on 5 Aug 08 a jerk told me to replace the lens cover, put silicone on the underside of the lens and replace it. I said what about all the rust. She was silent. When I asked her if other consumers had voiced similar problems she said yes and I asked whether all were told to fix the problem themselves, she said it varies. THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORSE COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. IF YOU IN THE MARKET FOR A SOLAR PRODUCT, DO NOT, REPEAT DO NOT, BUY FROM THE RAPISTS. I am in the process of filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau in Bainbridge, NY. In the future, I'll spend my money below the "Mason Dixon" line.

I purchased a solar powered fountain and nite-pack battery (additional cost of $45) in May 2008. The battery has never held a charge. The fountain quits in minutes after removing the panel from direct sunlight altho vendor says that charge should last 4-5 hours. After two weeks of attempting to resolve this problem by email, I called their "Customer Service" line and spoke to "Christi" who said that she was the supervisor and that no one higher up in the company would take my call. She said that the batteries have no warranty and that I would need to buy a new one if I still wanted to have battery power. Now that I have been thoroughly ripped off, I sure wish that I had looked for and read reviews on this company at this site and others. DO NOT do business with these guys. I can't believe that they will continue to stay in business.

I can't believe I ran across this site. I wish it had existed before I purchased my solar fountain and nite pack. I can't express the anger and frustration I felt when dealing with this company. The customer service was non-existent. I paid through Pay Pal (they took the money immediately), and waited anxiously for my product to arrive. When it didn't, I went on Silcon Solar's website and looked at the delivery info and saw that they had shipped it, then that is was in route, and then that they had delivered it. None of this was true, however. I called the shipping company and they said there was no record of my shipment on their books. Even the shipping number was made up. I then proceeded to try to contact the company and never, never, never got a person either through email or phone. I disputed the charge through Paypal and waited for Silicon's reponse and it wasn't until the deadline that they returned their response, denying all of it. I proceeded to try to contact them again through calls and email, and never got anyone. Not even an answer machine. Then one day (weeks later) a box shows up on my door step. It contained my order. I opened it, put it together and realized it was a piece of junk. All of the crimping on the wires had pulled free. Once I put it back together, I got it in the water, I turned it on and saw a trikle of water coming out of the fountain. It was suppose to blow 12" high. I was looking at an inch, maybe. I was flabergasted. I called the company and actually got someone who told me that because I had used it, I couldn't return it. Now, a year later, I have a product that doesn't work at all. The battery died. The pump died. I spent so much money on this thing and all I can do with it is throw it in the trash. I swore I would never use this company again. I don't think I have ever felt so betrayed and ignored by a company than I have by this one. Don't be fooled into thinking that any of the positive posts are real. They're not. This company is bad news.

I bought one of their fountain solar systems (AP-P010) in Octorber 2007, spending $343. Only 7 months later, the battery stopped working. I contacted them and they said that there is no warranty on the battery whatsoever. What a rip-off! They want to charge me $45 for a new battery.

I placed an order for the day/night solar pump, the order went thru with confirmation via paypal and the site. Then i received an email from silicon solar stating that the order was incomplete and needed to be completed. After following the links provided and ending up at a dead ends. I had to call their customer service, i would have rather delt with an outsourced third world country than these morons.

Pretty much i was told my order was flagged due to an ip issue, im a N.Y based ip and they said my i.p was showing up as kansas.

Even tho my money was taken out of my account, and was a confirmed transaction thru paypal. So at this point i felt unsafe dealing with this company and found this site. So i continued to call their customer service,public affairs, billing, so called coorporate office. Which all seem to be in a room with 3 cubicles with Moe, Larry, and Curly running the show.

None of the persons i spoke with were knowledgeable about the products ,the company, the billing. Who the CEO was and would not give there names.

After lies and promises of the charges being reversed the same day, or the next business day, then 5 to 7 days, no return calls from supv' or managers. 2 weeks later, pretty much after as they say using foul language and getting rowdy, and letting them know that this would be reported.

One person was able to help me. She promised to call me back at the end of the business day and the money would be refunded. Less than an hour after getting off the phone with her , i received an email, money was refunded thru paypay. So kudos to Kristi whoever you are. You should be given a medal, and you do not deserve to work in a place like that.

Get out!!! your surrounded by morons!! ;)

I wouldn't accept any product from this company if they paid me to accept it.

I wish I had seen this site before I ordered my night & day solar pump. I paid for expedited shipping from this schlock outfit.

The kit came without the night pack (power storage unit) in the shipment. I contacted the company and was told that my complaint would go into a queue for approval. I stated I paid for expedited shipping and therefore I should have my night pack sent immediately by expedited shipping. I was told that is too bad their system does not work that way. The computer takes 48 hours to approve (yes, the computer approves the claim?) and if it was approved then they would ship it.

Do not do business with this company they have zero interest in their customers, they deserve to go belly up. In addition, they have created automatons in their customer service center who create further dissatisfaction by being parrots repeating the same things over and over.

I bought the Night & Day Solar Fountain Pump Kit for &79.95 and it only lasted for 3 months before it started malfunctioning. My experience with one of the customer servicer reps. was also a let down.

"On Mar 2, 2009 3:50 PM, Silicon Solar Inc. responded with:

When it comes to solar pumps, the only item that is under warranty is the panel. When it comes to the pump we can not warranty these because of Hazmat reasons (they are used in water). You don't actually mention what the problem was with your pump."

I ordered a solar fountain pump, it worked two weeks and then quit. I sent it back at my expense. I was told it would be tested and I would be notified of the results. I never received any communication. A few weeks late a new pump showed up, but no solar panel? So I called and asked where the panel was. Another week or so later the panel showed up, and another pump! What I had received was not my original equipment, but new stuff. My best guess was that the unit had been defective. I set up the new unit and for a few weeks it worked fine. But then it quit again!

I called again and was told to use the same RMA as the first return. I again returned the product as my own expense and enclosed a letter that since this was the second defective unit I had received I did not want to receive a third, but to please credit my credit card in full.

Today I received an email telling me I had a gift certificate issued for this company? When I called to find out what it was, it was in relation to my return, and it was only for 85% of the value of the product. I did not want a gift certificate, I wanted my refund.

The company refused. They told me to read their terms and conditions. Their terms and conditions do not address new product that is defective, so I do not understand why I should be charged a 'repair fee', or a 'restocking fee' for the return, It's not like I changed my mind and just didn't want or need it anymore. If the pump had worked as advertised, I never would have had to return it in the first place. And I would be happy.

So now I am out about $125, no pump, and a company whose products are poor and not supported, so why even considering using the credit. I will be contacting to dispute the charges to my credit card, and filing warnings on every website I can find so no one else has to suffer what I have.

It is companies like this who scare consumers away from shopping on the internet, and who give solar technology a bad name.

I have solar lights and a fountain pump from other companies, and they have been working flawlessly for over a year.

Please, do not do business with Silicon Solar!

Greetings,
I want to personally apologize and assure you that the point has been made on our past problems with our customer service and product quality issues.
When we started Silicon Solar and started designing and manufacturing products for several different product lines with uses in solar energy, we grew at an exponential rate. At this time period, our business was a garage business running through the limited growing constraints during our school and college career. In 2007, finally, we were free and available to change our focus from a product manufacturing business to a customer service base industry. Now with both myself and Adam having focus directly with customer service, we have changed our infrastructure night and day with customer service staff, support systems, and better product information. Now I know that this does not cover for the lack of communication with our high demand for our solar innovative energy products and our product defects in the past but I can assure you that we have eliminated a few major contingencies with our past related problems.
1. Phone System: We have had every problem in the book with our phone systems, until December 20th 2009 where we dropped a very high cost phone system and backed into a more simplistic version with Linksys that has eliminated our communications issue.
2. Solar pump systems: We had a high rate of return on pump systems, after a thorough product test we have upgraded our pump system and have a less than 2% return rate on manufactured defects.
We understand that this letter will have little effect for those use to skeptical criticism, but for any of you reading, please don't hesitate to contact me directly with any constructive feedback on product and services from our company so we may better show that we have put these issues in the past and have move forward to a better customer service and product quality company.

A year ago I ordered a pump kit and received 2 12v pumps because the first one sent to didn't come with a nightpack as ordered. That pump kit did not give enough lift so this year I ordered a new pump kit for $100 more. I received the same 12v pump, the same nightpack packed in an enclosure stuffed with packing peanuts, and a larger, 17v solor panel. No instructions. This same 12v pump is advertised on their website as having a pump output of 80-95GPH with maximum lift of 1-2' with one pump kit and pump output of 150GPH and 2-4' max lift with another. It is the exact same pump. Jessica in customer service told me I should be able to tell that from the picture on the website. My husband did not feel comfortable running 12v pump attached to the 17v solar panel because he thought the motor would burn up. We both talked to customer service about the misleading information on the website and the concerns about the motor. Their only suggestion was to order a larger pump kit. I was issued an RMA, returned the pump in the original packaging promptly, and was charged a 15% restocking fee because the shipping carton had been opened. The refund was issued after I phoned them and emailed them. Today, Lisa told me that the only way you could get a 100% refund (less shipping costs) is if the package was refused on delivery. She read the return policy 3 times to me. Prevously, I was told by Jessica that I would get a full refund plus $5 because of the misleading website. I was told the website is not up to date because it is done in Australia. Lisa said today that she is only doing what she has been trained to do.

I ordered a solar birdbath fountain on May 13, 2007. The fountain arrived promptly, looked great and worked well…for about six days. I contacted Silicon Solar and sent the top part of the fountain back for repair. On July 3, I received an email indicating that the part was out of stock and would be available in three weeks. It is now August 7 and I still have not received the replacment part.

This morning I placed a call to customer service and was greeted by impatient, rude and condescending customer service representatives. Lisa, in particular, practically yelled at me - despite my calm demeanor and perfectly rational inquiry regarding when my fountain (paid in full in May) would be functional. My frustrations and should be recognized by the company as such. Moreover, I am truly disappointed and furious with the customer “service” I received when inquired about the status of the replacement part.

I am a paying customer of Silicon Solar and do not deserve to be spoken to in the tones used by Jessica, and particularly Lisa, this morning. The responsibility for delivering functional goods rests with the company, not with the customer, and your customer service department should recognize and respect that. Never in my life have I been treated so rudely and I do not appreciate the tone, condescending nature and harsh words that were spoken, and practically yelled at me, by Lisa and Jessica. I recognize that customer service is a difficult job, and I feel that I was acting rationally and proposed several options to enable me to have a functional water feature in my garden. I did nothing to prompt the severe tone, and hope that Silicon Solar finds a more customer-friendly manner of conducting business.

While I commend the Farrell brothers on an innovative and exciting business, I hope they will work with their customer service department so as not to alienate and offend their customers. There are many opportunities a business has to redeem itself in the eyes of disappointed customers – I Silicon Solar chooses to employ one of them.

I bought a solar hot water system from Silicon Solar. I mailed in a check for payment. A month later I am told that they "never received it" even though I double checked the address. I sent in a second check and they promptly returned it to me with no reason given. I called their NY office and was put on hold for a long time. I was told "accounting" would get back to me. After several days, they haven't. Now there phone lines are out. What a mess.

I ordered a solar water pump for my garden, and a solar ipod charger on april 23. On that day I got charged on my credit card, and one day later i got an e-mail from DHL telling me that something is coming my way. One week later, I called DHL and they informed me that Silicon Solar never gave them the package. I called Silicon Solar, to see what was going on. They told me that next week it will ship. It wasn't back ordered, i couldn't talk to anyone that knew... and they were very unfriendly. I still haven't gotten my stuff, and it's been 2 weeks since they charged my credit card.
