We have worked with Solar Design Studio since 2021. They helped us initially launch our solar offering and currently provide on-going organizational and project level support/guidance. Bob is friendly, responsive, experienced, and very knowledgeable. Solar Design Studio is a very valued and trusted partner of ours.

I spoke with about ten solar companies before finding Bob and Solar Design Studio. The other companies wanted to justify their high costs by pushing financing and emphasizing the tax credits and their predicted increase in electricity costs over the next 25 years. Very few would give me a straight answer on what the system would actually cost to install and those who did were extremely unreasonable. I'm so glad I found Bob! He was very upfront and honest with everything, designed a system to fit my needs and budget, and made the process very smooth from start to finish. From the moment I spoke with him at the consultation I literally had to do nothing but make the payments, SDS handled everything. The crew that did the install was fantastic, we had a few unexpected hurdles with the electrical company and they handled them with grace and went above and beyond what I expected. They were fast and efficient; I could not be happier with them and I love my system. If you are in the market for solar panels, Bob and Solar Design Studio is the place to go to!

As a consultant to KCPL Solar, Solar Design Studios and Bob Solger worked with my organization, Westside Housing Organization to place solar panels on a 110 year old, mixed-use residential and commercial building that we were renovating at 8th and Woodland Avenue in Kansas City, MO. We wanted the solar power to serve the residential electric needs on the second floor of the building, as well as common area lighting. The solar panels were funded through a foundation grant and had to be installed by a certain date when the grant year was closed.

Installing solar panels in the midst of a major redevelopment of a 110 year old building and working within the requirements of a grant contract presented layers of complexity. Bob Solger handled these challenges beautifully, designing a system that worked for our needs and navigating the installation through permitting and supply issues, coordination with electrical contractors, and presentation to political leaders and funders. I cannot think of another solar contractor or design consultant that I would want with me on that particular journey!

Hottest Month of the Year. Our home’s electrical bill was -$5.30!!!!

I wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was working with you on our project. You were very informative and followed through with everything as you said you would. You were flexible with your installation working off of our schedule and your installation went smoothly without any issues. Looking forward to the next project.

We owe a great debt of gratitude to Bob and his knowledge and team for helping to create an amazing PV carport for us. I’m sure you would be delighted with whatever you engage him to help you with.

I have had the pleasure of working with Bob for several years. In the beginning, Bob taught me important basics. Over a short period of time I was equipped with the language and tools to develop projects which resulted in more than 7 million dollars of sales. Over the past 5 years Bob has been a tremendous resource handling everything from initial ROI analysis to system design, rebate/ utility paperwork, city permitting, material sourcing, and final project paperwork. I can truly say Solar Design Studios played a major role in my success.

A sincere Thank You!
