Good Customer Service –JM, Vermont

"Not only does your company have fine products, but every person we deal with at your company does a great job! Good customer service is a rarity these days, and it’s not often that you find a sales representative to drive for hours and then use his musical talents to help raise the money to pay off a product that we bought from him! I’m glad that we have all become friends in the process."

Dramatically Improved Clarity –WT, California

"In the ponds where SolarBees have been installed the water clarity has improved dramatically. We can now see 3-4 feet in depth and have experienced no odors. Evaporation rates have been enhanced dramatically as well."

Best Company To Work With –TG, Colorado

"SolarBee is one of the best companies we have ever worked with!"

Extremely Professional –AG, Texas

2019 Looking Good, Best Water Clarity -SD, California

"I'm very happy to report that both the performance of our 4 SolarBees, as well as our lake's water quality have remained in very good shape throughout the summer. In fact, our current water clarity of 25' represents the best level of clarity seen in 2019.

Increased Wildlife –NP, New York

Good DO –JH, Louisiana
