Michele,

I tried 3in1.com and not a valid website. Any further info? Thanks,

Never understood why we should give a 1000$ deposit for the needed information of details installation cost, kw per our production, battery system, and transformer.
The so call Giga factory of Tesla in Buffalo last year actually was reported to dismissed a large number of worker and chaos reigned in the factory.
The idea of photo-voltaic roof shingles is great, Mr Musk should concentrate on letting the consumer know what it cost install such system to become independent from the grid.
I would welcome complete information for a project using 27 kw/hr.

Is this the European product? And are you the only company distributing it in the United States?

You should look into “Easy Roof”, which is a product that makes standard solar panels waterproof.
This product works with most 60 cell solar panels. Because of this, the cost is much lower than all other building integrated products. It also allows ventilation which means it experiences less energy losses due to heat. Every other roof product I have seen doesn’t have a way to keep the solar cells cool unless you build a false roof for ventilation purposes which adds a substantial cost.
You can get some basic info on our website at http://www.empirecleanenergy.com

Please, Please help get the word out about Forward Roofs! We, too lost our $1,000 deposit made in May…calls go directly to voicemail, calls NEVER returned…emails NEVER responded to…frustrating! Hoping Capital One will come through and refund our deposit. If not, looks like we have to get in line to sue for our refund.
Too bad, seemed like such an awesome product, we were excited to have a Forward Metal Roof!
Who do we contact about their web site still being up?
Please look into a product called Smart Flower. This is what we are going with instead of a Forward Roof. Your readers can rest assured the Smart Flower really exists…we saw it in Philly.
Thanks,
Robyn Betterly

I had put down a $1000 deposit last July and had Zach out here last month not knowing that there were all these issues with him and the company. Luckily, I decided not to accept his contract but now I have been chasing Zach for my deposit back. Looks like there may be quite a few people that they have scammed out of their money. I will contact the State Contractors Licensing Board but if they are not licensed contractors, then I don’t know if they can do anything. But it looks like there are criminal charges, so I will reach out to Contra Costa County as well. In the meantime, word needs to get out that this company is a scam because it looks like their website is still active and therefore probably collecting more deposits.

Jordan,

Don’t bother suing them as they will just ignore the complaint. Instead, contact the State Contractors Licensing Board as they have already investigated Zach and Forward and as a result criminal charges have been filed against Zach. Forward is not a licensed contractor.

We contracted to them but failed to do the job description. We are considering to sue them.

I too have been looking into 3-in-1 solar tiles and wondered if you knew anything about them.
Thank you,
Geoff

I was contacted by Zach, from Forward Roofing, earlier in the year but I did not move forward due to large amount of deposite required and why CEO is running around to make a sale to me. I also did research on Zach and found him to be a roofing guy and had complains about his company in the New York area, if I remember correctly. I called credit card company to get my money back after months of not answering their phone.

Contra Costa County. You can contact clerk’s office to get copy of the charges.

Criminal charges have been filed against Zach.

Where can one find information about the lawsuits against Forward Labs? We are also in the same boat having made a deposit. Voicemails perpetually full and emails not returned. One Twitter user said they were in contract with the company in July 2018 and had put a large sum down only to have Forward disappear. They continue to do very well in presenting their product in review magazines.
