I had solar with a battery installed in December just before tax credit expired. Ipsun did a pretty good job , but I am kind of picky. This took a long time to get installed, it wasn’t really anyone’s fault. The first try my panels got held up by the government and it had to be resubmitted with the different panels, then there was a problem with the engineered wind load and it had to be redone again. When the guys came to install the panels they had to rush since by this time it was getting late in the year and everyone was pushing to get everything installed for the tax credit. The racking is not quite level but since you really can’t see it from the ground it probably doesn’t matter. They run the lines through the attic and it really made a good looking job. On the bad side when running lines through the attic one of the men dropped in on me ( not literally) through the ceiling. They temporarily repaired the ceiling and a couple days later sent a company to make repairs. I realize it sounds like it didn’t go well but everything looks good, the repairs were made and looks like nothing happened. I had a couple of different employees whom I had contact numbers and I was always able to contact them. In short I would use Ipsun again.

Ipsun has been super easy to work with from the get-go. The install went well, couple hiccups here or there with a misplaced electrical something or other overloading a breaker, but when I called the support line they had a technician out within 48 hours and they fixed it same day. Every minor issue I've had was fully sorted without any drama. The system is up and running, looks really good, and we're producing a lot more energy than we were using. They handle everything from permitting to inspection to getting your RECs set up in the marketplace, putting in for the net metering contract, etc. Strong recommend.

The installation process with Ipsun Solar went smoothly and the company responded promptly to any issues that arose. I can confidently recommend Ipsun Solar to anyone interested in the installation of solar panels.

Absolutely Amazing, Best Solar Company in DMV

Spoiler alert: Ipsun is truly amazing, and I would recommend no one else. After obtaining quotes from over 15 companies in the area, I ultimately decided to go with Ipsun. While they weren't the cheapest, they also weren't the most expensive; they fell on the more affordable end within the middle of the pack. What set Ipsun apart was their extensive knowledge of the technology and their ability to tailor solutions specifically to my situation. They were the ONLY company familiar with Dominion standby fees and helped me avoid them, significantly reducing my ROI timeframe. Moreover, they brought in experts pre-sale to ensure that every aspect of the system design met my expectations and needs. During the installation process, their professionalism shone through. The team working on our house was not only friendly but also took great care to ensure that the installation was clean, serviceable, and seamlessly integrated with my home. I've had neighbors inquire about our solar system, and I always recommend Ipsun without hesitation. Unfortunately, some of these neighbors opted for other companies, including nationally known ones, and are now facing issues such as being charged Dominion standby fees due to poorly designed systems or struggling with support from their installers. Personally, I've only had to reach out to Ipsun once, and they promptly resolved the minor issue, demonstrating their efficiency and dedication to customer satisfaction. Ipsun caters to both residential and commercial clients, and their robust business model indicates their commitment to longevity in the industry. Unlike companies that might simply ride the wave of the solar trend, Ipsun demonstrates solid planning and management, ensuring their longevity. They are knowledgeable both from a business and technical perspective, and their team stays abreast of the latest offerings in the solar industry for the benefit of their customers. I am thoroughly impressed with Ipsun, and as you can tell, I am a very satisfied customer!

Everyone I spoke with at Ipsun including the salesperson, technicians, coordinators, electricians, and all the other roles were very professional and helpful. When I had questions they were acknowledged and quickly addressed. I'm happy with the pricing, scheduling was quick and painless, and the array looks great. Thanks again to everyone at the company, I would definitely recommend them if you're interested in solar.

Solar system with batteries

My experience was during COVID so there were delays no fault of their own. Ipsun Solar was fantastic! Once we were a go on everything installation went smoothly but there were some issues with getting permits. The installation was in Maryland Charles County and they worked through the problems to get everything in order. There was also plenty of communication about what was going on with the equipment, installation, and permitting. They were also extremely helpful in any paperwork for the federal and state tax breaks. The only issue beyond that is that the squirrel guard started to come off but they came out later and fixed it. I needed some panels removed they came out quickly to remove them and then reinstall them quickly. I have had zero issues with how the system works and am completely satisfied.

Quick and Efficient

Ipsun was by far the best of all the installers with whom I met - zero pressure tactics, highly realistic assessment of my solar potential and walked through my options in great detail. The actual install process was completely painless, over in just a few days and I was up and running! Have not had a problem with my panels almost 5 years since they were installed

Very happy with Ipsun

The process was very easy with Ipsun to secure my solar system. The sales rep was responsive as was the install team. They were fast with installation and good with getting me the desired forms for the credits. Overall, it was a good experience and one I’d recommend.

16 kWh Solar Array with 20 kWh Battery Backup

IPSun did a great job designing and installing my solar array and battery backup system. From beginning to end the process was pretty seamless. The installers were courteous and knowledgeable and answered all my questions throughout the installation process. If I could do it all over again, I would go with a larger battery system as you lose about 30% of the capacity for reserve per the warranty recommendations for Enphase. The ability to go off grid with the battery backup is amazing. Overall I'm very happy with the system and it has been great to see my electric bills at zero (except for the minimum connection charge for being on the grid).

My Solar Installation

I just wanted to leave a quick review and say that Ipsun has been great to work with. From the very beginning, they were communicative and walked me through every step. Although COVID made everything a bit slower and more difficult, I basically got to sit back and let them take care of everything, which they did. When the time came for the install, the team was very quick, professional, and did a clean job, which looks great. I would not hesitate to recommend Ipsun and I am looking forward to cranking out the kilowatts.

Ipsun - an affordable, timely, and complete solar solution!

Ipsun did an excellent job guiding us through the process of our entire solar installation. They handled all design, permitting, installation, activation, and I'm sure countless other tasks with minimal hassle. They kept us informed at every step of the process, supported our financing arrangements, and provided excellent service at fantastic prices. We couldn't be happier with the result!

Great company to work with

I worked with Ipsun solar to install 2 solar arrays (8kw) and the system went active in September 2019 and tied to net metering my local electrical provider. My bills have been cut by 2/3 on average and had great contacts as things changed over the last year and half. Great folks to work with, quick to address issues.

Straight shooters

My situation was unusual in that I wanted to replace an existing system while reusing some components. And then when the utility capped the size of my proposed system, I fought back by filing a complaint. This added more than a half a year to the project, but Ipsun stuck with me. I researched my situation enough that at times I had something to teach Ipsun. But they always listened, never talking down to me. And when it came time to install they delivered as promised, on time.

Above & beyond

Above and beyond: this phrase could have been created with Ipsun in mind. Working through my solar installation felt as though a dear friend (or a bunch of them!) took me by the hand and led me gently through it. Each aspect was thoroughly described and explained. I felt confident making decisions with the depth of knowledge provided - never with the hint of superiority or exasperation that is so common. Everyone at Ipsun seems to be downright excited to teach the entire solar process. The speedy replies to emails were breathtaking. Every question I had along the way was patiently answered. When the power company balked at the number of panels to be installed, they quickly handled it, explaining the necessity for it (relatives moving in). They even started to help me find financing as part of their services (though I took care of that myself). Installation was quick(~2 days) and masterful. AND for the first time ever, I did not have to clean up after workers!!! I am so proud to have a spectacular solar array providing my power. I count myself lucky to have had this experience with Ipsun Solar.

Stellar repair troubleshooting and service on failed inverter

Ipusun installed our solar panels quickly and without issue in Dec 2018. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that our panels produced no power, and I contacted Ipsun. Ipsun that evening troubleshot the issue as a failed interverter and ordered a new inverter. Delivery was scheduled for Wed., Jan 26, but Ipsun received it on Jan 24. Ipsun called to schedule installation on Jan 25, arrived on time, and quickly and without issue installed the new inverter. Ipsun's quick troubleshooting and repair is indicative of their stellar customer service.

Ipsun’s Excellent Customer Service and Work

Ipsun is highly recommended! They are very customer oriented. Everyone I worked with to make our solar installation happen — from the initial signing of the contract, drawing plans, site plan review, installation of the panels, follow up inspection, and final close out work — has been timely, kept me informed, and responsive to questions. A special thank you Humza, Andrew, Carl (and Installation Team), Abdul, Cindy, Joe, Herve, and the rest of the team. I was especially impressed with the care Carl took for his team members and their safety. Working in winter weather, through snow and sleet, is tricky and Carl’s first priority was to keep his team safe. A special thank you to Humza and Joe who patiently addressed many questions, as well as Herve who came to install a supplemental power conditioning piece of equipment to further reduce my power consumption, while reducing EMFs, and providing surge protection. If you are looking for a great solar company, Ipsun is recommended and you can stop your search. Once last piece of information in guiding your search for solar. Prior to going with Ipsun, I had another company (Vivint) provide an estimate of cost. My experience with Vivint was very negative. The representative could not answer some of the questions I asked and seemed evasive when I questioned some of the information (such as local tax rebates and incentives) he provided that I knew to be inaccurate. Additionally, once I indicated I was comparing companies and I was not going to sign the contract that day, the meeting with Vivint, turned sour (I was told that I was wasting his time). *I am so glad that Ipsun had a different approach (Very positive) and was the opposite of my experience with Vivint (Very negative).* Also, my neighbor used Vivint and had a negative experience with getting the system on-line - it took months of work to finally get it on-line after the installation of the solar panels. Beware of Vivint.

Thrilled with Ipsun Solar!!

Ipsun Solar is a fantastic company to do business with! I could not be happier, from the initial meeting with Patrick, to the survey meeting with Humza and finally today's installation. Everyone was 100% professional, extremely cooperative and communicative! This is exactly how business should be done. The entire process took three months from the initial meeting until installation. The CEO even got involved to help move the permitting process along! The crew arrived this morning at the crack of dawn and completed the installation in a little over eight hours. Ipsun was even able to assist with very low cost financing which put us on the path to energy independence much quicker and cheaper than I ever anticipated. You can feel good about helping the planet and putting money back in your pocket. Most people think an install like this is too expensive. That couldn't be further from the truth. We are purchasing the system over time, making payments which are slightly less than our energy bill (not factoring in the inevitable increase in the cost of electricity). Thank you Ipsun Solar!!

Wonderful product and great staff.

I live in a townhouse which had not yet decided on HOA regulations for solar panels, Ipsun presented support technical data for all issues as well as design preliminary drawings considering shared roof concerns. Ipsun handled all my battery backup desires, helping me select exact circuits within my house for best coverage. A summer bill of $7.14 and only noticing a power outage because a light came on that wasn't is wonderful. I use the app to see how I'm doing every day. Ipsun calls with updates, I can't recommend a company more (and other companies have since wandered into our community which have created problems, there are differences). Ipsun did everything right for me and was recommended by Fairfax county.

carport solar installation

I contacted 3 suppliers of solar equipment: two in CA and one, Ipsun, in Northern VA. All were competitive for price for a 28 panel installation on my carport. I had built the carport myself and decided to do the solar installation also, since several local installers would not even consider a quote without knowing my last year's electric usage. I explained that it didn't matter, since I planned to buy an electric car (a Volt) and would be aiming for an all-electric house. I currently heat with a heat pump and oil furnace backup. Herve went to bat for me with Dominion, and got approval for my installation. After a year's usage, I'm planning to add more panels to my garage roof to be totally solar dependent.

Conscientious and Professional Installation

We were paired with Ipsun via Solarize NOVA, and have been very happy with the results so far. A painless process, Ipsun handled all aspects of the installation, from design and permitting through to final county inspection of our panels, including coordinating with our power company to replace our power meter and receive permission to operate. Their team was always professional, openly communicative, and friendly. Installation was unobtrusive, and the team was respectful to ours and our neighbor's properties. We had a small issue with minor exterior siding damage during the installation that was immediately addressed, including an immediate call from the CEO within an hour of the issue being identified, to ensure the issue would be resolved to our satisfaction - which it was.
