Geeksmith | Galena, MD | 07/22/2024

I did a lot of homework between personal research and evaluating 5 different area solar installers and their quotes. KW Solar stood out because of its detailed and straightforward approach. They were informative, providing upfront information on sizing, mounting options, grants, loans, power company applications, permitting, and everything that goes into the process. I did not feel like they were a company selling to me but rather a consultant providing guidance. I could tell their goal was to provide the information I needed to make the most informed decision and would be happy with the result. The process and communication were painless and every person we interacted with from KW Solar was friendly, informative, and appreciated us as a customer. When it came to installation we knew exactly what to expect and the team did an excellent job minimizing the impact to our home, landscaping, and driveway. When a county inspector threw a curve ball with an uncommon interpretation of a code, they could have challenged it and won. Still, they were most concerned with not delaying so they absorbed the additional time and cost to satisfy the inspector. I didn't even know about the small hiccup until it was already being addressed. It has been 3.5 years since our installation and that system has performed without issue and the system production and savings have aligned with estimates and our expectations.

Wish we had done this sooner!

Rob, Jackie, and everyone at KW Solar were great. Knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly. We were up and running much sooner than I expected (and sooner than anyone else I know who’s gone thru the process). Delaware has a great program that covers 70% of the cost for median income families. Plus the federal incentive. So, it’ll pay for itself in about 5 years. The Enphase app monitors production and usage in real time, which is fun to watch. We’re producing at about the levels KW estimated. Overall - loved our experience. Thank you, KW Solar!

TCH | Middletown, DE | 07/28/2023

Exceptional from start to finish

Great communication, pricing, service, and support throughout! Easily recommend to anyone considering solar in the area

Eddie Greer | Elkton, MD | 07/26/2023

OUTSTANDING ??????

Truly a fantastic expierence from start to finish! The whole team at KW Solar is committed to the highest quality service. From the person designing the system, to the engineers who installed it, to the front office staff who assist with managing solar credits and dealing with DELMARVA they are always at the top of their game. Thanks KW Solar..we couldn't be happier!

Tim | Elkton, MD | 07/24/2023

Great Job - No Hassles

Couldn't be happier. Good price, timely installation. Work was done professionally and with no messes or issues.

Miles L. | Bear, DE | 02/02/2022

Professional, straight, no games, best price, responsive & fast!

Wow... I am glad I went with KW Solar. We scheduled a few quotes from other major solar installers that service the Northern Delaware area. Others were much more expensive, gave very limited data on any of the panels or the inverter they were trying to sell, and were high-pressure. The other installers planned to cover our entire roof with panels and wanted us to sign a contract immediately for a system that was poorly planned and only computer generated. KW Solar came along, and I knew we found the good one. They were on time, professional, had all the info on all the panels and inverters they install. They did preliminary measurements before any quotes were given to make sure things lined up properly. The quotes given were professionally done and they were able to fit more panels on one half of the area compared to the other plans. KW was able to get us a system that produces 103% of our annual usage and kept the panels on the back of the roof, and one side of the garage, so you can’t see anything from the front or sides of the home. The entire process was very smooth, and everyone I talked to was knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive. The process was very fast, it was installed and connected to the grid a month earlier than anticipated. If you are looking for a solar system for your house make sure you get multiple quotes, just make sure that KW is one of them!

Joe K. | Townsend, DE | 02/01/2022

Exceptional Service

Exceptional service, knowledgeable team, and great communication. I’d recommend this company to anyone interested in solar

Angie | Newark, DE | 01/26/2022

Outstanding Service

The whole team at KW Solar is committed to the highest quality service. From the person designing the system, to the engineers who installed it, to the front office staff who assist with managing solar credits and dealing with DELMARVA they are always at the top of their game. Thanks KW Solar..we couldn't be happier!

Dawnsky | Bear, DE | 01/26/2022

Great Customer Service

KW Solar spent many hours designing the proper size solar arrays, and satisfying the HOA requests for 6 months assisting me in approval. Installation was fast and done right the first time. Pretty Kitty supervised the job from her window sill and reported a job well done. The KW office staff make sure you have all the proper paperwork completed and filed to make Go Live smooth! They are always there to assist when called. I recommend KW Solar to all my friends. I am saving money and it feels great!

Christine Boyer | Townsend, DE | 01/25/2022

Good Experience

I felt KW Solar was very forthright in our sales meeting. They were much better priced than a company from NJ I had gotten a quote from. I'm very happy with the timing and completion of the installation. They were very happy to run the conduit down the side of the house so it wouldn't be very visible. It's been since August I've been up and running and my electric bills have decreased each month.

Sean | Wilmington, DE | 01/25/2022

Easy, solar solution

KW made the entire solar process fast and easy. I originally contacted KW in May 2021. Mike was very helpful and knowledgeable about the process. By July 1st, the system was installed and operational. KW also had the best price vs. competitors and made sure the DE grant application was submitted and approved. I highly recommend KW Solar Solutions

Tim A | Middletown, DE | 10/20/2021

Fast and Efficient

I had reached out to a few different solar companies in the area and was very surprised by the range in price. KW Solar came in as the lowest bid. They took time to explain the panel they proposed and the differences between some of the others. They selected the highest "value" panel. They took to time to price out some of the elite panels, but I decided to not go that route. From signing our proposal to having our system installed was 1 months time, and most of that time (3 weeks) was waiting for the electric company. After install our system was turned on 1 week later, again waiting for the electric company. The process was extremely clear and I knew were we were in the process the entire time. Mind you, one of our neighbors got solar panels installed about 3 months before us from a company that also makes cars - their system is not generating yet. Every time I have called KW I am warmly greeted by Jackie who makes sure I get what I am looking for. Michael was fast and efficient with the proposal process and getting us on the installation schedule. Rob and team were great for the installation - it was probably about 10 hours. This has been an A+ process and would recommend to anyone looking to go solar.

I picked the right solar company | Newark, DE | 08/18/2021

KW Solar: Professional, thorough, efficient.

By the time I sought out KW Solar, I had already rejected a different solar company (the system was too small for the price) and a generator installer (too noisy and costly for what I would have received). Subsequently, I did some additional research and narrowed my selection down to about three companies. Fortunately, I contacted KW Solar and Mike (a veteran) came to my house, discussed my requirements and shortly thereafter showed me his proposal. A few weeks later, the KW solar crew appeared at my house and installed my system. By the end of the second day, technician Luke showed me how to access my system's operational data on both the desk top and a phone app. Seeing the power meter running backwards was reason enough to uncork a bottle of Chocolate Yoo-Hoo. Four months later, and I have never had to call KW Solar for a technical issue. The system ran without issue, automatically, and without any generator noise. In addition, two days ago I used my utility/state rebate check to pay for KW Solar's installation of an LG battery backup. Now, if the grid goes down after sunset, I still have power. Thanks to Jackie, the KW Solar office coordinator, for talking me through the rebate paperwork. A couple of months ago, I had a chimney contractor come to my house and needed to have a couple of panels moved so they could do their work. At the predetermined time, Rob, the KW Solar manager, showed up with his men and the chimney contractor completed his work. In closing, the professionalism, attention to detail, and coordination are a testament to KW Solar owner Dale and his mother, who keeps the books. May God Bless, Mark E.

Terry | Dover, DE | 06/10/2021

Excellence

All work was performed on time and as described. The staff was friendly and informative. Highly recommend them

Kathy | Earleville, MD | 06/09/2021

KW Solar - Hire them, there're grrrrrreat!

The people at KW Solar are informative, pleasant, responsive, knowledgeable and get it done! I can't tell you how fast my system was "up and running" because everyone will expect that kind of speed but I can tell you it was "in a blink" fast. Having done business with this company years ago for our fire company, I already had a very good opinion of them and they managed to exceed my expectations. You won't find a nicer person than Jackie to talk to when you need something.

MPK | Middletown, DE | 05/12/2021

Best installer in Delaware/Maryland/Pennsylvania/New Jersey area

I researched a lot of installers in my area, and I'm glad I did because I found KW Solar. They have the personal, local touch, meaning they're accessible and responsive in answering all questions with just the right amount of detail. They offer a great combination of short project timeline, competitive prices, and the latest technology. They don't overcharge for things you won't need; in fact, their pricing really can't be beat among local competitive offerings. I'm happy to be part of the KW family and will be going to them for all my solar needs in the future.

Hickory Woods | BEAR, DE | 05/08/2021

Excellent solar installation

KW Solar's crew are professionals. They have lots of experience and do a great job installing a solar system. Everyone is friendly and willing to answer any questions you have and address any concerns you have about the system. I would recommend KW Solar Solutions to anyone considering adding a solar PV system to their property.

Dave | Elkton, MD | 04/29/2021

Great company and great to work with. Would recommend to anybody

Local company and heard great things.

Marly | Middletown, DE | 04/27/2021

Exceptional work and communication!

After researching and reaching out to several local solar companies we decided to work with KW Solar. We could not be happier with our decision! From start to finish the whole process was smooth and easy. KW communicated with us every step of the way, including coming back after the install to make sure we understood how everything works. Everyone we worked with was professional, helpful, and friendly. We love checking every day to see how much power we’ve produced! I would highly recommend KW Solar to anyone in the area interested in going solar!

Randall Myers | 04/27/2021

Company was great! Attentive to my concerns

the company did a wonderful job and addressed any and all concerns i had, I would not hesitate to suggest their services to anyone wishing to get solar panels.

Bharat | 04/27/2021

Amazing Support And prompt response

KW Solar has amazing support staff including sales representatives Mark. There technicians are very good and understanding. Amazing working with Team ( Mark, Rob, Luke, Jackie) sorry if I missed any names here. You all are amazing

Mariame | 12/22/2020

They are amazing. It’s a pleasure to work with them

I wanted to have my solar system installed by professionals who can avoid me to go through all the burden by myself, and also explain me all the steps.

Everett Ramer | 12/08/2020

Very Good Company

We chose KW Solar for the following reasons: 1. Their no-nonsense sales approach: Their initial quote offered us a good price on state-of-the-art equipment, with multiple equipment options at no extra cost. 2. They did a thorough modelling study of various design options and actually included a realistic rendering of the panel layout in their quote. 3. KW Solar is a local (Newark, DE) company and handled all the paper work for permits, inspections, and the DEMEC grant. 4. They arranged for us to contact a previous customer for a reference. 5. It is a great group of people.

KW Solar | 12/06/2020

Helpful and knowledgeable. Installation was quick

Local and offered a solar plan suited for your unique energy usage

HC1 | 12/04/2020

Best experience

Ksolar recently installed solar panels on my house. The entire process was pretty quick and they took care of everything. I would highly recommend Ksolar for solar panel installation.

Melissa F | Middletown, DE | 12/04/2020

Excellent company to work with

We chose KW to install our solar panels a couple months ago because they were very knowledgeable when they came out to go over everything with us. Told us everything up front so we wouldn't have any surprises. Jackie has been phenomenal in answering my many questions and filling out paperwork on our behalf to get us all set up. I would definitely recommend them to anyone considering solar.

Zach Thurston | Middletown, DE | 07/30/2020

Overall, I was very impressed

Overall, I was very impressed by the level of customer support and efficiency of the installation crew. From beginning to end, I felt very involved and informed on the process. I spoke with other companies before going with KW and each one wasted my time with advertising. KW was straight forward about the cost and answered every one of my questions. Installation only took one day and the final product looks just as promised, sleek and professional. I hope that others reading this will consider KW over their competitors because companies that prioritize keeping prices low instead of passing advertising costs to the customer, deserve respect and recognition for the work that they do.

Galileo | Bear, DE | 07/25/2020

Exactly what I wanted

After interviews with other cos I decided they were the best Their salesman was walking our development and prescreening homes for solar orientation and came to us He knew the product and specs I had decided on the make and model panels I wanted from previous research The price was right The installation went smoothly and on time The system has worked flawlessly for the first year and I see no reason for it not to continue Our system generates slightly more than we three adults need The process with credits from Delmarva was the only hitch but KW is a family run business and they were a tremendous help My Delmarva bill is consistently 34.58 monthly down from over 200 If I could eliminate Delmarva and their lack of customer service in the beginning.... We have three TV,3400 sq ft,central air heat pump freezer, wash dry. 18x44 all glass wall sunroom with skylights using a separate Mitsubishi heat pump for heat and ac

Exemplary, Caring Professionals and Beautiful Product

I chose KW Solar, because I knew and trusted the customer education professional who works with KW Solar Solutions. I trusted him to be working with a firm that provides high quality product with an excellent team.

Norma D | Elkton, MD | 06/27/2020

KW is an excellent solar company. Dale is a joy to work with.

I have used another company in the past for an installation and found KW to be far and away superior. And they are local, also a plus. And Jackie is great.

Bentley | Elkton, MD | 06/26/2020

Great job

KW Solar Solutions called me after I showed interest in Solar energy. They were great no pressure no fuss company always answer questions turned up when they said they would. They did a great job at the install and the work crew were great. Thank you KW Solar Solutions.

Jeff | 06/26/2020

Quality installation with dedicated after installation service.

Choosing KW Solar Solutions from among three bidders was fairly easy. They were the only ones who came out onsite to prepare the bid. The other two just mailed it in from Google images of the house. The installation went well. The principal of KW was onsite each day of the installation. after installation we had a couple of issues with wind noise that you could only hear when the wind was over 30 mph from the northwest. They came out again and again and looked for that rattle everywhere until they found it. That's the kind of service you want.

Hicks Residence | Elkton, MD | 06/26/2020

I think KW Solar Solutions is a great company to work with

I chose KW Solar Solutions because my son recommended it. After speaking with your representative, I was impressed with his overall knowledge of the technology, his familiarity with this area, and his ability to respond to my specific questions. He provided information without encouraging me one way or the other--lease or purchase--and allowed me to process the information he provided and arrive at my own decision. He provided me with verbal as well as hard copies of information available about the technology. When necessary, he even assisted me with accessing necessary cites on my computer. He made himself available whenever I had questions. He always answered my questions or referred me to the person in the company who could. When interacting with him I felt respected and that he was actually listening to my comments. And last, but certainly not least, he followed through on any promises and checked back to be sure I received responses I expected from persons in the office. Personnel in the office are equally helpful and responsive to whatever needs I have.

John and Nancy Waddell | New Castle, DE | 06/03/2020

KW Solar Solutions

We've had our system for about 9 months now and it was one of the best decisions we have made. KW Solar Solutions provided very detailed but easy to understand information on what to expect and they walked us through the entire process from start to finish. We are very pleased. We highly recommend KW Solar Solutions.

Jay | Magnolia, DE | 03/26/2020

Clean Installation, Satisfied fully

Great company with a good team. Installation just took 8 hrs from nothing to generating electricity. Mike was the first person whom I talked to very good person and responsive. Dale and Rob very friendly and explained about the system. Jackie another great person who took care of all the paper work and always gives immediate response to the emails. We are fully satisfied with KW Solar Solutions.

John | Wilmington, DE | 03/23/2020

Overall satisfied

Overall I'm satisfied with the outcome. Mike was our initial contact and explained how everything worked. Dale and Rob managed and worked personally on the installation and competently explained how the system worked. Jackie was essential in managing the details of what could have been a confusing process at the end. Great job!

Farmer residence | New Castle, DE | 03/20/2020

I cannot imagine any other company being better.

Combination of style,compentency and personality!

Matt | Newark, DE | 03/20/2020

No Thoughts Necessary

KWSolar took care of everything for me. I wanted solar panels to offset energy bills and the guys came out and did it without issue. They were friendly and courteous. It was pretty cool. The solar panels have been working great. Definitely would hire again.

Jason | Middletown, DE | 01/28/2020

Great Job! Glad we chose KW Solar

Working with KW Solar was a great experience from start to finish! Mike did a fantastic job explaining the system, it's install process as well as having a strong history of working in the Solar industry and bringing his experience to the process. Dale and the install team are professional, friendly and always made a point to keep my house clean and free of installation debris. Jackie is quick to reply to questions, and stays right on top of "Next Step" items. We could not have had a better experience working with KW Solar and we highly recommend them.

happy custom | 01/13/2020

Great Experience, fast turn around and save money!

KW is a great company with great staff. They were super responsive! They answered every question I had! I have recommended them to many of my neighbors!

Dave & Diana Guinnup, Bear, DE | Bear, DE | 01/07/2020

Great Experience with KW for our Residential Solar PV System.

KW Solar Solutions provided great service and products, from start to finish. Michael, as the salesman, worked hard to get us the design and products we wanted. He did not stop providing excellent customer service when the contract was signed, but instead followed up multiple times during and after the installation process. Jackie provided excellent administrative services, walking us through all the steps. Additionally, much of the paperwork was done by Jackie for our benefit. Rob and Brian who installed the system, had to work around the dates upon which we were having a new roof installed, so that installation could be completed as soon as feasible. The longest delay was with installation of the NEM, and authorizing the powering-up the system, by Delmarva Power. The team at KW answered all our questions, comments, and concerns with a smile and worked to make sure that we got the exact system we wanted. Everyone was responsive, friendly, and professional. We met with or communicated with 5 different vendors/installers, and KW provided the best representation and service; and, the price for the system was very competitive. I will gladly recommend KW Solar Solutions, Inc. to neighbors and friends. Dave & Diana Guinnup, Bear, Delaware

Insanely happy with the work done with KW solar. The whole team, from Sales to installation were fantastic.

I will 100% be recommending them to neighbors, friends, and family.

Loretta | Newark, DE | 09/20/2019

KW Solar Solution - the best local renewable energy systems

I am so delighted that I chose KW Solar Solutions for the purchase and install of solar panels for my home. I supported a local company that utilizes American made components, and I am helping to reduce carbon footprint. From my first phone contact with KW Solar Solution, to all the interactions there after, each person was professional, courteous, and helpful. Each provided full service, from Mike the salesman, who didn’t stop providing excellent customer service when the contract was signed, but instead followed up multiple times during and after the installation process. Jackie provided administrative services that effectively walked me through all the steps, additionally much of the paperwork was done by Jackie for my benefit. To Rob and Brian who installed the system, despite the extremely hot temperatures, so that installation could be completed as soon as possible. To Dale, the owner, who provided personal oversight during the install. Dale, Rob, and Jackie provided clear, concise system orientation. KW understands what a customer wants and needs, and effectively communicates with a passion for renewable energy. KW Solar Solution combines 5-star customer service with top of the line solar panels, they are hands down the best solar solution for me.

JIm's Solar System | WILMINGTON, DE | 05/02/2019

KW Solar Does a Great Job

Start to finish KW Solar is a winning enterprise. They had a competitive bid including the squirrel guard. They handled all the paperwork (lots of it). I only needed to read and sign. The job was done very quickly over 2 days (the 2st day was too windy to go up on the roof.) Dale, Rob and Jackie were all helpful, courteous and professional. Just a pleasure to work with. The longest delay was waiting on Delmarva to swap out my meter. My wife and I are extremely satisfied with our system. Thank you KW Solar!

KW Solar Soulutions delivers sup | Elkton , MD | 03/16/2019

Fantastic Company

We recently had our solar panels installed by KW Solar Solutions the experience was excellent. They made the entire process go Smoothly. Everyone was very professional. I did my research before selecting a company and chose them based on their reviews. Every review I have read was excellent. We are extremely happy with our choice and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a solar company. We hey do all the leg work and keep you informed the entire time. Once we went live they were checking on our production. They are not a big company but a family friendly oriented company one who will be there for you if needed. They value their coustomers even after the insulation is completed. We are so glad we chose them and will recommend them to anyone and everyone. We want to thank Rob, Jackie, Dale and the crew that came out to do our install on a Sunday before the snow fell on Monday. That showed their detication to us as a customer. Sincerely, Gerard and Betty Hawkins

Solar Power Plant Installation by KW Solar Solutions

KW Solar Solutions did an wonderful job with every aspect of the installation of my Solar Power Plant. From the estimate, explanation of the process, building permit, construction, commissioning and then helping me with Spec trade and managing my power system, they were awesome. It was truly a, "turn key", experience. I would recommend they to anyone looking to go solar and get rid of their power bill

No-brainer | Wyoming , DE | 12/10/2018

No-Brainer

KW Solar makes this process easy for everyone. There are many steps involved in the process and I I was notified as each step was completed. When comparing cost with other companies, KW was an easy choice. Their experience and helpfulness are their best qualities!

JJ and MADJ | NEWARK, DE | 11/30/2018

Excellent Service

KW Solar Solutions is the way to go for your solar power needs. We received excellent service and a competitive price. Rob at KW worked hard to earn our business, He answered all of our solar questions with experienced, knowledgeable answers. He showed up often to make sure we were getting the most efficient solar system that we could have installed. The whole team at KW, from Jackie in the office to Dale, Brian and Rob, were highly professional and efficient and our Solar Edge system is providing us with clean solar energy power. We can't say enough about the team at KW Solar Solutions. If you are thinking about Solar power don't hesitate, call KW now. Don't be intimidated, getting Solar power is easier and cheaper than buying a car and it will save you money!

KW SOLAR are very helpful and they work with you on anything. They just don't take your money then forget about you. It's like a family thing. Installing and everything went well. They make sure you are comfortable with your system in understanding it. Like I said it's like a family thing. They won't leave you alone to figure it out. I recommend KW Solar! All of the staff is AWESOME!
