Very thorough and professional
We contacted Celestial Solar from a referral in June/July timeframe. Jim Reilly, the owner of the company, worked with us on the design and pricing during our due diligence stage. Jim was very professional and courteous. He told us that they were backed up and it would be around Oct./Nov for installation and activation. He set our expectations and his team delivered it slightly ahead of schedule. The team did a excellent job of installation, working with the county inspector and Pepco on approval and activation. I was so impressed with Jim that I even referred his company to a close friend/relative even before the actual installation.

Stress free and fast build, very pleased
I'm very happy with the installation and the overall process. They were very communicative and kept me in the loop at each step of the process. The actual install only took a day and we were up and running a couple weeks after that once everything was approved. Very pleased with everything.

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.
