We had a great experience with Celestial Solar, they truly lived up to all the reviews we’d read beforehand. To give you an idea of the quality of service: a few months after installation, we had a partial outage. It turned out to have nothing to do with our panels or the new fuse box, but celestial sent out an someone to check it out the very next day at no charge to us. We haven’t paid a cent for electricity since June and our SRECs have been steadily coming in. Celestial did an amazing job, we wholeheartedly recommend them.

Amazing Solar Install in Bethesda
Celestial Solar did an amazing job with solar and battery install for our home. From start to finish we were well advised of our options, navigated the permit approval process with ease and good communication and are now operating with a stellar setup. Thanks to Jim and team for all their hard work. Always glad to support a MD small business, especially when the service is top notch like it is with Celestial.

Positive Recommendation
I’m very happy I chose Celestial Solar Innovations for my home solar installation. From the first sales visit to activation, everything went smoothly. Jim was responsive to all my questions, and the REC panels were ideal for my roof’s orientation and shading. Since installation, my electricity usage from Baltimore Gas has been zero, and I’ve banked over 2,200 kWh in credits. The installers were professional, accommodated my equipment location requests, and consulted me when changes were needed. I’ve even started receiving SREC income. As an engineer who works with air conditioning installation contractors, I tend to nitpick every detail, and this installation exceeded my expectations. After reviewing many installers and panel options, I highly recommend Celestial Solar Innovations and REC panels.

No hard sell, just complete professionalism
Went to the MD Home Show, talked for a few minutes to a rep. Arranged a sales call at home. Boy did I get the hard sell. That company misstated warranty facts, offered extensive discounts of I did things for them, and insisted on signing a contract that day or discounts would be lost. Took advantage of recession law and backed out after a day of reflection. Now finally I researched companies, and called Celestial. It was clear Jim knew everything cold, had clear answers to all questions, explained options, recommended against a couple of thoughts I had that would have earned him a bunch more money, and gave me a straight price that matched the other company, without all that company’s BS. The whole experience was transparent, professional, and entirely comfortable. All the paperwork was completed by the experts, all the T’s crossed, and our system is up and running, and looking great. I should have done more research, but having spent time with one of the worst companies in the business, I am pleased to report that I went with the highest quality company for our system. Select. Celestial, YOU WILL BE HAPPY!!!

We installed our solar system with Celestial Solar. The owner, Jim Reilly, and his company have been absolutely wonderful! From the initial information to the preparatory work, actual installation and follow-ups, they were thorough and extremely professional. Jim specifically was very helpful and answered our multiple questions along the way. Our system is working great! We highly recommend his company to anyone looking for solar panel installation!

Great service, Great product
We worked with Celestial solar (CS) following a recommendation from a neighbor. From the beginning CS, was transparent, provide helpful suggestions, was not pushy, and educated us on the best solutions. They provided drawings and sketches and were available to answer any questions all the way through the final step when they turned the system on.

Best MD solar company
We had Celestial Solar complete the installation of our solar unit at the end of May 2025. The whole team did an amazing job from start to finish - design, county approvals, utility company, SRECS, installation, monitoring system, and even helped me with a state grant program. Jim (owner) was always available and the whole team was super helpful and communicative. We had ZERO issues - so smooth. Our system was designed for 100% offset and we have out produced usage every day since install. The panels look great. We couldn't be happier with our choice. I received over ten different estimates from the leading solar companies and not only was Celestial competitive with the most competitive prices, but offered higher quality materials and completes all the work in house. Highly recommend.

excellent scheduling, set up, and customer service experience
Working with Jim and Celestial Solar was everything I was looking for in a solar company. I wanted someone local who would be responsive to my questions and who had a crew of experienced employees not subcontractors. Jim made scheduling the install, inspections, and SREC set up as easy for me as possible. I could not be happier.

Top-notch, highly competent, professional Solar Installer
We met with Jim Reilly, of Celestial Solar Solutions in the fall of 2024, when we were getting bids for a solar installation. Jim impressed us right off the bat with his years of experience, clear presentation, and professional manner. After we agreed to go with Celestial Solar Solutions, Jim began the process of getting the permits we needed to install solar panels on our house over the winter of 2025. He. was very open to my suggestions for modifying his initial design and we went back-and-forth a few times before we got what in my view was the optimal design, with maximum coverage on our south-facing roof planes. Celestial Solar Solutions offers a winter installation discount. However, because the winter was harsher than expected, the installation was delayed until April, yet the company still honored the winter discount. Once the permits were approved and the weather warmed up, Jim’s employees began the installation process from finalizing the exact layout of the panels on the roof to assessing the capacity of our fuse box and electrical connections. On the day of the installation, about eight installers and electricians arrived and got the job done before the day’s end. The crew was efficient, neat, and professional. Several weeks later, our system was up and running. In late spring, Jim also alerted us to the Maryland energy administration’s solar access program. We applied and were awarded a rebate of over $5000; that’s in addition to the federal solar rebate we are already getting. Our entire experience with Celestial Solar Solutions has been top-notch. We highly recommend the company to anyone considering a solar installation.

Amazing company to work with
Celestial Solar's estimate was the best one and Jim was great to work with. Prompt communication through the entire process and the work was completed on time. I didn't need to do anything and the installed panels look great.
