A superior Company
This is a review of my recent installation of solar by American Century Solar. I found the company to be extremely efficient and professional. The construction timeline as per the contract was completed approximately two weeks prior to the deadline. With the extra time allotted by the early completion of construction I have been able to complete necessary paperwork to maintain the credit offered by the federal government. Repair of the system subject to some non-functioning equipment was preformed within a reasonable time frame so that the system was completely operational within the designated time. I would recommend American Century Solar for other projects of a similar size or larger. Sincerely yours; I Thomas Baker

Great Experience with American Sentry Solar!
The entire process, from initial consultation through installation and follow-up, was extremely smooth. They were prompt in answering any questions we had, and efficient in the install process and in preparing the rebate documentation. They have great customer service and are extremely professional. We couldn't be happier with our new solar panels!

Great Team
My wife and I have been looking at solar systems for the last several years. We met with representatives from a few companies but didn't find one that we felt would satisfy our wants/needs. The we were contacted by American Sentry Solar and met with Tiffany Then who spent considerable time with us explaining solar systems, how they worked, compared purchase vs lease and the service provided by the American Sentry Solar team. After everything was said and done, we decided to go with team. Shortly after our meeting, we were scheduled for the site survey and the engineers came and evaluated the house and applied industry best practices to develop a system that would give us the best buy for the buck. We then met with Gailan to review the final design and executed the plan. Within a couple weeks, that team came and completed the installation in one day. American Solar completed all the documents to get the system inspected by BGE and obtain the energy tax credits. Everyone involved provided excellent service and support. The installation team was friendly and when they were finished, the area around our home was clean with no remnants from the installation. Any time I called with a question, I either got an immediate reply or was called back within hours. I am very impressed and will be going back to American Solar Sentry when we want to add more panels. Beast Regards, Richard Walker

Great Service
We have been thinking about going solar for a while. Recently we moved to Maryland and once we bought a new house, we decided to give it a more serious try. I saw an advertisement while browsing an energy related article in a news website and after entering a few details to see what my options are, received a call immediately from American Sentry. While the initial appointment got delayed for a busy schedule on American Sentry's part, they rescheduled it and finally showed up promptly. It was during the hour long conversation that followed, the agent walked us through the details of what having solar energy means and what are the different ways of going about it. Once we agreed on a certain option, American Solar Sentry was very prompt and efficient in getting everything going. They set up an appointment and installed 28 panels. Since then we have been enjoying good clean energy.

Great experience with a great company!
We spoke with several solar companies and American Sentry Solar was by far the most professional. We are very glad we chose American Sentry Solar because they explained everything in detail, they made us feel important, and they took the time to make sure all of our questions were answered. The installation was perfect. The installation crew worked hard and quickly. They finished the project on schedule and minimized my time away from the office. All inspections were handled by American Sentry Solar. BGE quickly responded to American Sentry Solar and everything was in place within a few days. I have not received a bill from BGE with a full month of solar so I don’t know the results yet, but, I am looking forward to my electric bill, which is unusual. We HIGHLY recommend American Sentry Solar!

My choice to go with a rock solid company
My reasons in choosing Sentry Solar 1)high quality panels manufactured in the U.S 2)Fewer panels recommended vs. what competitor recommended 3)Each panel tied to inverter as opposed to four panels tied to inverter - leads to better performance 4) Production monitoring provided through Enphase - iphone based app 5) Active monitoring of panels by American Sentry Solar 6) System produces energy even on cloudy days 7) Financial incentives such as federal, state, and county tax credits/grants. 8) Sale of energy credits for energy produced by system on open exchange. Price of credits goes up as state of Maryland commits to higher percentage of renewable energy.

Very Easy Process
American Sentry was chosen because they spent a lot of time educating us which is important because most people don't know details of how to get solar panels installed. This is a major home project requiring at least 2 inspections. American Sentry did it all and made it as painless as possible.

Great Service and Product
We were interested in upgrading to solar to help the environment and lower our energy bills, but we weren't sure where to start. Sentry Solar walked us through the process and explained the different options available from them and competitors. It was clear that they were the right choice and it was nice that they are located right in Bel Air. Sentry worked with us to figure out which loan terms would best meet our needs and stayed in regular contact throughout the installation process. The solar panels have been live for a few weeks now and we love the ability to check the app throughout the day to see how much solar we are producing.

I love these panels!
We purchased a Model 3 last fall and knew we wanted to use solar to help power it. American Sentry Solar helped us do just that. They upgraded our power panel, ran cables and ground lines, installed a Tesla car charger, and, of course, a whole lot of solar panels! The whole thing was super easy and all of the folks at American Sentry Solar were very professional and just plain easy to work with through the entire process. Great experience! I highly recommend them!

Piece of cake! Great Experience
This overall has been a great experience although there were a few snags with my local policies, it was only a hiccup in the process. The panels were installed within a couple days, but Wilmington took their sweet time in installing my net meter so I was unable to run my panels for almost an entire month after the install date, which is not American Sentry's fault, but just be aware that this is a process. I am overall ecstatic about how easy everything has been... Gailan was great and was always available to take my calls or respond to e-mails, and same goes for everyone in the office. I would not hesitate to do it all again when I move to my next property, they turned an overwhelming process into something that was quite manageable with my hectic schedule and has needed minimal effort on my part!

American Sentry Solar Your best choice highly Recommended
After looking for a couple of months for solar companies hopeless, I was so excited and happy to receive a call from American Sentry Solar that we qualify . The whole process was fast and quick Mr. Javier Acevedo gave us such an excellent service from the beginning with all the documentation and explaining all the process step by step. After our first meeting it took less than 1 month to the panels for being working at it was because for the delay of the CPS inspector and city inspector. We will definitely add more in the future. 100% highly Recommended We love the excellent customer services and professionalism that every member of the company gave us.

American Sentry Solar - dependable and forthright
The process working with American Sentry Solar was easy and instilled confidence. Tiffany came to my home and shared loads of information - it was a real education. She answered all my questions. The installation went flawlessly. The follow up has been terrific. They are taking care of the applications for rebates and grants - a huge help, as the forms are a bit daunting. All was timely and supportive. Good company.

Confident + Satisfied
I shopped around and spoke with several Solar companies. American Sentry Solar had the best representative come to my home, hands down. Dustin Matthews was extremely knowledgeable of the products the company used, how solar worked and the workmanship and professionalism that the installers would use. Dustin "set the bar" very high, and the company was able to satisfy his promises. The installation was carried out very quickly and efficiently. Every person with the company that I spoke with, either on the phone or in person was very professional and worked around my schedule. There were pros and cons that I had to consider when choosing a local Solar Company vs. the national company, I feel very strongly that I made the proper decision with American Sentry Solar as my choice for solar panels for my home!

Great Service!
Jerry came out at 8am to accommodate our schedule and go through the presentation with us. The whole process went very smoothly and quickly from the presentation to installing the solar panels. Panel installation only took 4 hours. Crew was professional and efficient. American Sentry then contacted BGE for us to switch out the meter. And they took care of all paperwork that we need to file in order to receive grants from the state and county. Love their app that allows us to track our solar production! No complaints about any part of this process with American Sentry and no regrets on going solar.

AMERICAN SENTRY SOLAR To whom may concern: This is to report our experience with the installation of solar panels on our home by American Sentry Solar. After we talked with Mr Javier Acevedo on February the 2nd 2019, the panels were installed in about 2 week and they were very professional, they told me that an inspection from CPS and the city of San Antonio was required, and took 2 visit from the city inspector, but the CPS inspector took more than a month to be done. But after that it was put on line and it�s been working fine, I�m waiting for the next month bill to see the difference with the solar panels. Thank you.

Very Professional,Honest and Proficient
After review of several other local solar companies,American Sentry Solar was by far the most honest, efficient and responsive of all the rest. Lawrence and his apprentice were very thorough and provided documentation and explanation of the entire process from start to finish. Cory and Amber were always available to answer any questions or concerns. The installation crew arrived on time and completed the install proficiently. As I watched Nick and his installation crew, they worked like a fine tuned machine always keeping safety and cleanliness a top priority. I was very impressed! After several months, we have seen a significant decrease in our electric bill as promised. We highly recommend American Sentry Solar.
