American Sentry Solar

American Century Solar was great

American Century Solar was great: Sales pitch was not too pushy . . . Explanation and evaluations of their Solar Systems and usage types was good (we bought ours) . . . If you have a question they would have one of their experts explain it in layman terms . . . Panels were installed without a hitch (I did have to build a small wall door to cover the inside solar on off switch/box (a little smaller than a fuse box) . . . Inspectors and BGE were setup by American Century Solar per my schedule . . . They help/guide you through the rebates you qualify for . . . They were here when we turned the system on and all is working well . . . And now I can sign into their app and check my solar production. Next thing in line is to see my huge electric savings! RonC

I could not have ask for a better company to install my solar system. They are the most professional team of people I have ever dealt with. They worked with us to ensure that we understood the process and Mr. Gailan Winsel-Strow was outstanding. If called him and left a message you rest assure he will return your call. The installers a great group who are very knowledgeable and extremely talented. Once the work was completed they ensured everything remained clean and safe. Without doubt anyone who plans to add solar power to their home should to hesitate to call American Sentry Solar. They are "Top Notch" Company! You can be rest assured that American Sentry Solar will ensure that they will only use what is best for consumers.

Great Service

Both the customer service staff and site crew was very professional and experienced. We were extremely satisfied with their work. The best contractors we have used to date. The site crew went out of way to fix latch on gate which they didn't break. GREAT COMPANY! PS... they even liked our dog Seamus.

Great Job on Roof and Solar Array

American Sentry Solar were prompt and finished the roof and solar panels as promised. We have been pleasantly surprised by the production of our array despite the poor weather the last few months. Can't wait to see what the panels will do in the Summer. Very happy with the results.

Outstanding Service

We contacted a lot of companies. American Sentry Solar, a division of American Design and Build provided the most realistic financial cost/benefit scenario using our energy consumption history. We were given information on the manufacturer of solar panels and the monitoring system. The pride and faith you have in your systems was very evident in our conversation and made us feel very secure in our decision to go ahead with the purchase and installation. American Sentry Solar took care of every detail from arranging financing at a great low rate to pulling permits, and meeting with county inspectors. Your construction crew was friendly, professional, and thorough. Our project manager kept us informed every step of the way. He arranged appointments that worked with our schedules, and coordinated work with our utility company. We highly recommend American Sentry Solar, a division of American Design and Build, to anyone wishing to install a solar energy system on their home.

As time goes by, warrantee maintenance gets slower

I bought a solar installation back in spring of 2012, and at first American Sentry Solar did prompt maintenance. But on some occasions, especially with the Enphase microinverters, the warranty maintenance has been disappointingly slow, sometimes 6 months to replace under warranty. They seem to need complaints to fix problems. Yes, Enphase was supposed to be highly rated.

Great Business

American Sentry Solar is by far one of the best Business that I have ever dealt with. Each step of the way was truly out standing they were able to explain the process in very simple terms. They were outstanding in assisting with some difficult financing to make my dream of solar panels come true. Each crew of workers were very helpful, they were on time and even came ahead of time when they were able to bump up the schedule. My solar power was working in no time at all. I don't think it took 2 months from start to finish. Also, I know if I have any questions that they are local and only a phone call away. I am very pleased with the service that was provided.

New Solar Installation

I did a lot of research when it came down to choosing my solar install. I found that American Sentry Solar answered all my questions as well as educated me on the process. The installation was scheduled quickly and the installers were very professional and friendly. They worked together like a family. They provided me with great pictures and all documentation for tax credit applications and SRECs. The process was quicker than other install companies and they did not disappoint. I now see my electric meter run backwards!

Home onwer

“Great team”. They were organized, on-time, and cleaned up afterwards. The assistance has been beyond reproach, the installation flawless to date, and the equipment performance well above expectations The system has been working for almost six months now and works perfectly. Highly recommend this company

Very happy with its business

American Sentry Solar showed us how serious they are in doing business effectively. They (the sale representative, the surveyor, the solar panel installers, and the manager) were well knowledgeable and engaged. The processes were taken as promised and completed quickly, very good teamwork! We also recognized the Pepco's quick review and approval processes, and information about the next step. We are in the final stage of having clean energy. Thank you all!

Awesome Solar Panel Installation

After inquiring with other companies, your company was upfront, honest and fantastic customer service. From the beginning you kept us up to date with progress. It was a very smooth install and startup. Install was very done professionally. Panels are very nice compared to the other companies out there. The employees all introduced themselves, friendly, and competent. Management is very helpful. Very professional. I highly recommend this company Anytime I have called, everyone has been very polite, helpful and personable. No automated machines to deal with you actually get a live person!! have already recommended your company to several people as well as providing cards to a real estate agent because I am that pleased with this company as well as being local!

Awesome Installation

The installers were professional, polite, and efficient. They did a great job explaining what they were going to do, and answered any questions I had. When they were done, the installation looks great, and they cleaned up after themselves, so there was no mess left behind. These guys are the best !

The Clark resistance

American sentry solar was very professional in every aspect of the process from the beginning to the end. I would recommend them to any one wanting to check Into solar energy.

Outstanding company!

Very nice people in the office and the installers, the electricians and panel installers were very courteous and didn't leave any mess behind, after they were finished with install they came in and told me how read the panel monitor and what the next step of installation would be, very nice solar panels, cosmetically pleasing to the eye!

Solar panels a must

Should have gone solar sooner. Great installation and communication through the process. Producing more electricity than I expected. It's great to see the net meter round backwards!

Amazing service and fantastic product

American Sentry Solar is an amazing company. During the process of getting solar panels installed I never called and had to listen to an automated message, always a real person! Everyone was so helpful when I was going through the process, from making sure I got all of the tax return information to making sure I was satisfied and in the loop with the process of getting solar panels installed. The solar panels have already started saving me money on my electricity bill and the best part is that it increased my property value tremendously. I would never do the process of solar energy with any other company. A truly remarkable experience.

My Solar Experience

If there is a greater hold-your-hand experience out there in the Solar industry, I'd like to know about it because American Sentry Solar tops my list of A+ companies in the customer service category. From beginning to end, I was kept aware of the process at every turn and bend. They even filled out the State grant and SREC paperwork for me; all I had to do was sign and post it. The install went very smooth. Gailan in their Implementation and operations department is at the top of his game. I feel like an expert in the solar energy industry simply because I had Gailan on speed dial. Called him at home, on his cell, a few times - he always gets back and has an answer and an action for you. Had a problem where one plate did not light up. I called Gailan on his cell and he had a tech out on my roof the next day. Problem solved, loose connector. From hooking up the in-house equipment to logging into the on-line system to check the status of your power generation/solar system, this crew has it down to a science. I'm sold, and I highly recommend American Design and Build, American Sentry Solar for your solar project - you will not be disappointed. Signed, T. Moss - Arnold, MD

Solar Panels for free

The installation went very well and they were out right away when only 12 panels came up and replaced the circuit breaker on the 2nd 12 panels, and its been working ever since. I did have the system installed in late November and have seen a reduced electric bill from BGE even thru the overcast and cloudy days. From what I see now I should see better returns on the coming spring and summer due to more sunny days. Everything I was told about the grant money and intensives to put in the solar system is true some just take a litter longer to get according to your state. When I look back I should have done it sooner but by waiting I have a better quality solar panel. The best part is I just have to call and they fix the problem under their warranty for 25 years. Great deal for looking ahead it will pay for itself.

Solar for my home

I am very happy with American Century Solar they've been very courteous the entire trip I'm glad to hear that they are a Christian based company and their prices were excellent the installation was seamless from beginning to end I would highly recommend this company!!!!!!

Installation of Solar Panels

The installation of our solar panels plus electrical set up for them was done in a very professional manner. Craig who was the crew chief along with all the gentlemen who worked with him were all introduced when they arrived. They all worked efficiently...twenty panels were installed and they worked continuously from 9 AM until about 3PM until all the work both inside and outside was complete, All the employees were very courteous to both my husband and I. They cleaned up after they were done and left everything as they found it!! I would highly recommend them for solar installation and any other home repair or installation.

Better than expected

I looked at a couple of solar companies. I liked the knowledge and politeness of the salesman. I was impressed with the quick work putting it in the Tuesday after the weekend Snowzilla. They thought ahead and covered the roof with a tarp the Friday before so they could get to work quickly after the snow. All the team members were polite and considerate. I was impressed with the whole thing. Glad I made the decision to go with this company. Now I am waiting for the next electric bill to come!

Solar from American Design and Build

They were an honest and reliable company that gave good explanations, installation and service. They also prepared the tax credit papers and scheduled all inspections. Installation was excellent.

Our Continuing Experience with Solay Energy

Our initial investigation started in 1972; however, we were not in one place long enough to warrant an installation nor had we found a vendor we wanted to work with. We eventually settled on using American Sentry Solar out of Bell Air Md. Initially because of reports from friends who had installed solar energy panels by them. We have not been disappointed in any way. The assistance has been beyond reproach, the installation flawless to date, and the equipment performance well above expectations. Our energy bill has been cut by over 75% for a 3,000+ SqFt dwelling. We installed in 2 stages, First a 3 panel hotwater system after the failure of our hotwater heater and second a 26 panel 5.5 KW electric system. Obviously we are pleased with our installation.

Highly recommend American Sentry

Great team. They were organized, on-time, and cleaned up afterwards. We were given any information we needed and when a minor problem or two happened down the road, we got a tech here the same day. The system has been working for almost a year now and works perfectly. Highly recommend this company.
