Lumina Solar

Installation teams were great. First comes a manual inspection of the home to include electrical panel. This inspection takes one day, even uses a drone to inspect roof. Next is the utility marker to mark all the utilities leading to house. Next comes the battery(s) team, takes them two days to install them and the connections. The solar panels follow on about a week or two later and it takes them two days. Now the system is completely installed annd ready to be turned on. With a week or two the utility company anuthorizes activation of the system. All the teams are great and did a fantastic job. Once the the go ahead was given you turn all the switches on and the system is up and running. Sit back and enjoy looking at the app and seeing it do its thing. Our system has been in for a month and we had our first power outage the other night. The power outage only lasted for 13mins. Had no idea the power from utility had gone down. Messages from enphase came in along with a message from MetEd. System worked like a champ. I even contacted neighbors to see if there really was a power outage. Our electric was uninterrupted, thank you Lumina an Enphase.

Lumina install team was great. They come in waves, first one to inspect your house and electric panel to insure there’s no issues. Next up, the battery team comes out and installs the battery(s) and finally the solar panel and switches team. Battery and panels each take two days. Teams are fantastic, great team. Systems been in for a month and we had our first power outage at night. Only lasted 13 mins but had no idea until messages started coming in from Enphase and MetEd. I even checked with neighbors to see if there really was an outage. Pretty cool, our electric was unaffected by the outage. System worked like a champ.

Lumina Solar installed a 5.98kW 13-panel solar system the second week of January, luckily before the major snow and ice storm hit this region of Virginia. I did a lot of research both on the equipment and the company. Our panels are REC460AA Pure-RX using 13 Enphase IQ8X Inverters. My wife and I are very pleased with our system for a number of reasons, including: 1) if you do any type of research, the REC solar panels and the Enphase inverters are highly rated in the industry, which meant a lot to us. 2) the installation was extremely professional and was very top-notch. One of the reasons we chose Lumina was they only use their employees for the installation, and it was fantastic. Even the inspector made a comment how clean, neat and orderly the install was. All of the other companies we received bids from contracted out the install to other companies. 3) In my job before I retired I often reviewed and approved contracts. Lumina’s contract was very well done and very comprehensive, and I was impressed as I wanted to be sure everything needed for both parties was covered. 4) An additional reason we selected Lumina was the extended warranty offered from 25 to 30 years for a very reasonable sum. As I am 70 plus years old I am not concerned about the additional length of time, but the warranty will pay at no cost to us to remove and re-install the solar panels if we ever need to replace the roof due to hail, wind, etc., using Lumina Roofing. Gabriel Shabtai was our Solar Consultant and did a good job of explaining solar and the company and was great getting us through signing the contract. However, we were concerned that we didn’t hear much from him once we signed our contract, and we wished that he would have informed us of the backlog of installations Lumina had to complete as it took from July when we signed the contract to early January for the installation. Much of that was likely due to the rush Lumina was experiencing to meet the IRS tax rate expiration date.

I chose Lumina after years of trying to find a reliable solar installer that could really educate me on the county/state/federal taxes, grants, solar credits sales, loans, energy company coordination/inspection, etc. Their representative walked me thru it all and continues to this day to support any questions I have after a year of having my panels in. I would have done it years ago if I had been able to find a solar company that was down to earth and supportive enough to trust with this large purchase. Can't say enough good things about Lumina.

I recently had a 10 kW residential rooftop solar system installed and the experience with the team was excellent. They explained the whole process clearly, handled permits, and completed the installation smoothly. The crew was professional and kept everything clean. The system has been running great and I’m already seeing a noticeable reduction in my electricity bills. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone considering switching to solar.

First, I am a very detailed minded and technical person. I did a lot of research on solar systems before even getting to the quote process. Once I was ready I started getting quotes on solar systems for my house. The prices ranged by quite a large amount, the technology used also varied a good bit, a lot were focused on Tesla systems which I personally did not want as I think the tech is older and not as good as some of the newer technology being offered. So what made me go with Lumina... I would say first and foremost, the initial experience, their willingness to work "with" me and not against me, they listened to what I was looking for and accommodated my requests for newer or different components. A lot of places were locked into selling you on one system, wouldn't allow changes etc. Second, I worked with Gabriel and he was amazing in helping to get all my "tech" questions answered. If there is one thing I appreciate, it's being able to get into the details with someone and really see if they know what they are talking about. He was always fast to respond, even late at night or even some weekends. We did have to change a few things from the original quote after inspection. I couldn't get all the panels I thought I could, but it was just a limit of my house, Lumina worked with me to help me through all of that though. Overall, great support and communication, Thank You Gabriel!!! Last, I will say, be ready for this process to take some time, from the time I first talked to Lumina to the time I got PTO from my power company to turn things on, it was at least 5 months, granted this was at a time when the credits were ending at the end of 2025 and work rolled over into 2026. But the actual install was done in 1 day which was crazy fast! But they did a great job from what I can tell :). Then there was the waiting for inspections and the power company had to install a new meter.. just normal stuff everyone has to deal with that takes time, not Lumina's fault. This isn't a negative or anything just a heads up to people.. So to wrap things up, 100% would recommend working with Lumina, great sales people, great tech's, great support!! Keep up the good work!

I had been thinking about getting solar panels for years. In 2025 I learned that the federal tax credit for solar panels was ending, so I decided to attend a Solar Brokers of Maryland dinner presentation and ended up working with Lumina Solar, via Solar Brokers, to get panels. Lumina Solar handled all of the administrative details (permission, filing for tax breaks and other incentives, as well as planning and installing the solar panels. The team at Lumina Solar was very professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Federal tax breaks are ending as of 2026, but if you're still interested in getting solar panels, Solar Brokers of Maryland and Lumina Solar are a great starting point.

Great experience with Lumina! My rep, Christopher, was fantastic — he helped design the perfect solar system for my home and explained everything clearly. The installation and activation went smoothly, and the system has performed exactly as promised. Highly recommend!

Before getting Solar, I was worried about how much of a chore it might be to get - but when I found Lumina, they handled EVERYTHING. The breakdown I got before accepting was comprehensive and laid out what I could expect over the next 30 years. The vast improvements in the tech, my options for panel layout and the savings I was looking at were IMMENSE. I'm especially grateful for the help of my rep Kurt Bradshaw, he was always helpful, knowledgeable and able to address all my problems and clarify all my questions. -If you're looking for Solar, these guys have it down to a SCIENCE.

My wife and I decided we should look into purchasing solar panels for our home. After interviewing different companies, we decided to move forward with Lumina. Our sales person, Ryan Cook, was a pleasure to work with and explained the process every step of the way. He was always available to answer our questions no matter how complex or simple the question. Every step of the process was clearly explained to us by Ryan and Lumina. The process played out exactly as it was explained so there were no surprises. The Lumina team that installed our system were great and worked hard and efficiently to make the installation smooth. The County inspections went exactly as described Ryan and occurred even faster than we expected. We are already saving money on electricity and with rising rates, we expect our saving will continue to grow. Everytime I look at my electric bill I just smile knowing that my wife and I made a great choice, picked a great company with Lumina, and received great customer service from Ryan Cook.

Had a leak under our solar panels with heavy rain. A roofer came out and could repair leak but solar panels would need to be removed in the meantime. Explained to Gabe with Lumina the situation and he assured me his techs could fix while taking off the panels. Without any heavy rains things seem ok. Then leaking started again. Gabe had 2 guys come out and claimed the leak came from the fascia near the gutter. Our roofer said that was impossible because the leak was too far in and saw the problem. Now Lumina claims they do not do residental properties even though they took my payment. Looks like I will have to sue with small claims court to get my money back since they did not complete what they claimed to do.

Very happy with my experience with Lumina Solar. My representative, Gabriel Shabtai, clearly explained all the options when I was first exploring getting a solar system installed, and I never felt pressured to sign up. Once I did, everyone involved with my project kept me updated as to timelines and what to expect. There were many occasions when I had questions and I felt very comfortable reaching out to Gabriel numerous times. Although I mostly emailed my questions, Gabriel took the time to call me to make sure I fully understood. I've had my system running for a month and haven't had any issues, but feel confident that if something would arise it would be handled promptly. I would definitely recommend Lumina Solar.

Our experience with Lumina Solar has been outstanding from the first introductory meeting to the time we started solar production. Our Sales Representative, Courtney, made a thorough presentation and was very knowledgeable about price savings calculations. She also kept us informed during the 90 day approval process. Installation took one day and went without issues. We are very happy with Lumina and have recommended the Company to our friends.

We were very impressed with the honesty and professionalism from Christopher Richardson. He never once tried to push us into buying anything and always gave us the best advice.

Lumina Solar was very efficient, professional and helpful throughout the process of getting the solar panels. Everybody who we dealt with was very friendly and professional. Christopher Richardson was especially helpful when starting our process of getting solar panels. We would recommend Lumina Solar to anyone.

What to say about lumina.... as a police officer i know when im being lied to or sold something. When talking with my consultant Courtney S., I never felt sold to or pressured into anything. I was given up front information and all my questions were answered. I met with over 4 solar companies and lumina was the final and 5th company. I went with them, not because they were the cheapest (they were not the cheapest) but the value i was getting was far above the competion and when grouped with the customer service the expiriance was so easy and painless. Everything was communicated to me and there was zero fog and mirrors, all transparent. Now enough about Lumina the company. Courtney my consultant was amazing. She was so fun and answered all my questions within minutes. She put up with my ridiculousness and had fun the whole time. She even gave me a part time, non paid, no benefits job as a solar ambassador for Lumina. I cannot say enough about her. My installers came out without an issue, took care of the install clean and fast. Im serious, there was not one single screw or trash or anything left behind by this crew. Spotless. The electrical guys did an amazing job. Even redid an electrical line I put in myself out of the kindness of their hearts. Contractor would have charged me a ton of money, hence why I did it myself. They handled everything from start to finish. Permits, the city, electric company, teaching me to use the app. Im currently well on my way to a zero dollar Electric bill. I couldn't say enough good things about my experience. Please anyone who needs info reach out and I'll tell you more but I think you get the point. Go with lumina, other companies are just doom-n-ya. (Ps, ask Courtney about free swag, she's a pushover)

Last week we reached the one-year mark since Lumina Solar installed solar panels on our house and they were activated. After one year, Lumina's estimate was within 3% of the actual energy production, and the small difference was on the positive side. That is, Lumina slightly underestimated how much energy our installation would produce. Only one other company we looked at got close, and that company would have overestimated energy production by about 6%. (The other two companies would have overestimated by 19% and a whopping 49%). Kudos to Lumina for being so accurate! They took a no-nonsense approach and worked closely with us as we shopped for solar installation companies and throughout the installation process, thoughtfully answering every question we posed. We are very happy with the results and very happy that we chose Lumina Solar to be our solar energy provider.

The process of purchasing and having solar panels installed by Lumina was a terrific experience, and I am very happy I chose Lumina Solar for the project. From the initial contact with Ali the project manager, to purchasing the system, to the individual who did the site survey, to the phenomenal team led by Tyler, that installed the system to the rest of the team who worked in the background to move things along, the professionalism, knowledge and dedication to delivering a great product was exhibited by the entire team. It was a pleasure doing business with Lumina Solar.

Lumina was very easy to work with from sales all the way through installation. The digital models of the panels on the house and the cost breakdown were very helpful in making the final decision to get them installed.

Our solar system was finally turned on this week! Thanks to Lumia’s team, the entire process was supervised smoothly, making the project completely effortless for us. A special thank you to Gabriel S., who introduced us to Lumia, explained what our solar system would entail, clarified all the technical specifications, and advised us on the optimal system parameters based on our energy consumption. Many thanks to Lumina and its great team!

We are very pleased with the service, quality and responsiveness of the Lumina Solar team. From the first interaction with our assigned Solar Consultant, Gabriel Shabtai, through the evaluation, decision making on size and cost, permitting, installation and activation, it took for us roughly 4 months: from mid-May to mid-September 2024. All the interactions with Lumina staff have been very professional and responsive. In addition to Gabriel, who has always been super responsive and communicative, we'd like to mention the excellent support from Mary Lechner, the Project Administrator. We are pleased with Lumina and are already recommending them to friends, neighbors and colleagues. Contact Gabriel, Mary and the team and you will not be disappointed!

So happy with Lumina. I love the idea of being more entertained flexible. Gabriel was very knowledgeable and a real pleasure to work with. He made the process so smooth. Kept me highly informed during the entire process. Love the idea of keeping my energy money now and not giving it to BG&E. Thank you Lumina

My 3 panels stopped working on 12/29 I emailed Lumina on Jan 8. Provided the enphase error. They confirmed with enphase that there was an issue but did not get a repair date. Followed up 2 times and they still would not give me a date up to today Feb 4. Avoid this company, they will sell but not fulfill their contractual obligations on warranty. My panels are only 4 years old and our contract covers 10 year warranty on parts and labor.

We are currently in the dead of winter and I'm producing over 50% of my daily usage. I look forward to the summertime, but so far, I'm extremely impressed. They even produce with snow on them.

Kurt Broadshaw was the consultant that was in every step of the way until I got my solar panels installed. He made the process run smoothly. I recommend Luminar solar because of their attention to details and amazing customer service. They respond fast to any service request. Very friendly environment. Kurt and team will really take good care of you. 100% recommended.

I have had my solar system installed by Lumina for just over 2 months now and could not be happier. My sales rep was Mr. Charlie Keyser. On our first call, Charlie used several different programs to calculate how much sunlight my roof would get during all the seasons. It was very important to me to see how this would work and the potential breakeven analysis. Charlie and the Lumina team have a seamless process for the engineering, permitting, and financing. Each time that I had a question, someone on the team was very quick to respond with accurate information. During the entire process, I was kept informed of where we were in the process. After the permitting process was complete, Jeff and Devin came out and were the site leads for the installation. To prevent wildlife damage, I had 48 panels installed on my roof with the CritterGuards. The complete installation took two days, and Jeff and Devin were absolute professionals. Once the installation was finished, Lumina's team handled all the paperwork for county inspections and tax rebate applications. Once that was complete, I received permission from Dominion Energy to turn on the system. The final step was completed when Lumina sent Mr. Brian Sperty to replace the drywall and repaint the areas that had to be removed for the electrical wiring installation. Bryan was awesome to work with. His work was flawless, and he was a pleasure to chat with. Bottom line, Lumina sold me a great product, and their sales/support team is top-notch. I highly recommend.

Lumina Solar did a great job throughout the process of design and installation of solar panels. The company's staff, particularly Andrew Cimino, were very professional and helpful and kept the project on track and on time. I highly recommend Lumina Solar.

Everything about our solar installation and ongoing use has been great. Going solar was one of the best decisions that we made! We did a ton of research, met with different companies, and chose Lumina Solar. It was the right choice! The process was smooth, and we have nothing but good things to say about our system. It has been almost two years now and we couldn't be happier.

I am very happy with Jack and the Lumina Solar team with my Solar installation. A stellar company and staff. They went a above my expectations.

We heard about Lumina through the nonprofit Solar Switch program. We have been interested in getting solar for many years, but the process of finding a good solar provider and getting a trusted quote was very difficult - until Lumina. Lumina has a team dedicated to helping you learn everything you need to know about the solar process and they keep you informed during the journey. Lumina was excellent with communicating every step and they managed all the paperwork, permits, installation, inspection, and warranty info. It was an incredibly smooth experience and it all happened very quickly. We’re excited and proud to have our home powered with solar, and we have Lumina to thank!

We had a fantastic experience using Lumina to install our solar system. Christopher Richardson was incredibly helpful throughout the process and he made it easy to make a well-informed decision. Th installation team was on time, professional, clean and QUICK. They were on site just over 4 hours. Incredible. There were a few delays along the way that were out of Lumina’s control (township and electric company dragging their feet), Christopher and team did a good job of keeping us aware of where the process was and what the next steps would be. My system has only been up and running for 3 days, but so far we are very satisfied with the choice to go with Lumina for this investment.

Top performance from start (initial contact) to finish (solar system switched on & performing). Lumina delivers as promised both from a commercial & technical perspective. The account manager was well informed, the back office managed the paperwork & permits in a very timely fashion, the installation team was fast, efficient & clean. The solar system & supporting software perform flawlessly.

Very professional from sales to implementation. The quality is excellent and unlike Trinity, you can actually use this solar system as an electrical generator (backup). Our electric bills over the summer months were almost zero; sold quite a bit of electric back via the two-way meter. We are beyond pleased with all aspects to date.

From start to finish the experience with Lumina Solar and Pete Hayes was great. We never felt that we were alone in the process. Installation was quick and efficient! And on top of all that the savings are great!

My husband and I are very pleased with Lumina Solar. Unlike some of the other companies, they actually come to your house for an evaluation before developing the project plan. And they do the installation themselves, rather than subcontracting it. Everyone we dealt with was knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone considering solar.

I was really excited with the idea of getting a rooftop PV system, and Lumina had really good reviews. Their price was nearly identical to another very highly rated company in my area and I liked the look of the REC panels so we went with Lumina. During the initial sizing I proposed a symmetric configuration that was pleasing to the eye and was told 'we can discuss the exact configuration during the engineering phase'. Well, I was never contacted until all of the approvals were complete and at that point it was too late to get the configuration that I wanted. The Lumina configuration was unsymmetric and had 1 fewer panel on the highly productive south facing roof. It was not the end of the world, but I take pride in the aesthetics of my house. In the end I was able to get them to make it symmetric, but with the one less panel in the good orientation. The biggest problem, however is that the panels on the front of the house are in a nearly ideal orientation, facing almost south, and with a roof pitch that is good for this latitude. The 400+ watt panels are oriented well enough that they should be able to generate close to 400 watts during the middle of the day (cloud cover permitting). Lumina specified and installed 300 watt inverters so those panels never produce more than 300 watts. Instead of a sine wave for production I get a curve that is clipped flat on top. 300 watt inverters are ok for the back of the house where the sun angles are not as ideal and the panels cannot produce as much power, but not for the front. So why am I giving them 4 stars? Well, their Operations department that scheduled and performed the installation did a really good job and were a delight to work with. The workmanship is really good and everything has been functioning for the first 16 months of operation. There were no surprises in the pricing.

Lumina Solar ARE a great company for you to jump into greener energy. Tim Cooke (and associates) spent the time explaining to us about the technology, about the benefits (with calculations) based on our usage. We had plenty of questions and they took the time to know about our situation and answered to their best effort. We are 6 months into our solar installation and our PEPCO bill for this summer was totally obliterated as compared to same period in 2023. This should have been an easy decision years ago, seeing our bill (even a check from PEPCO!) has made us advocates. Get onto Solar, fast. The savings are there. In addition to less PEPCO reliance, is the Solar Renewable Energy Credits from the utilities, which means you are helping PEPCO (and by extension the USA) meet its green energy goals. Lumina Solar were the perfect partner in helping us go Solar!

This is the best company that I ever had to deal with. From start to finish of the project they were great.

I recently had a great experience with Lumina Solar! From the first consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions. Jack Wood took the time to explain everything clearly, making the switch to solar energy smooth and effortless. The installation was quick and efficient (about a half day). I highly recommend Lumina Solar to anyone considering solar energy.

This past spring I started to explore options for solar power. I spent time researching different companies and settled on Lumina Solar PA. I reached out and within a day had a return call and we discussed my solar needs. Jack Wood then worked up a solar plan and recontacted me about my options and cost. He spent time going over all the details, specs, and pricing. He also offered several options for financing. He then coordinated a roof engineer inspection. Once I made a decision to proceed the Lumina project team took over to handle all the permits, local, power company, and worked to keep the project on track. The installers were the best, really personable and ensured that any and all questions I had were addressed. They completed the install in 2 days. Final inspection was flawless. The entire experience was extremely smooth and pleasant. If you’re considering solar, you should explore Lumina Solar Pa, you won’t regret it.

After I finished my independent review of Solar Panels & Inverters, I sought out a company who shared my same choice of equipment. At this time I realized all Solar Companies & representatives where not even close to being the same in their product configurations & equipment recommendations. So when I contacted Luminus Solar & found that Kurt Bradshaw shared my same selection in panels & inverters? I could not have been more relieved & satisfied with the resulting install to my residence!! My system was sized & installed so as to have been a very positive overall experience!! Thanks again!

Very easy process from estimate through connecting to the grid and making power. Would use again if I needed it.

Lumina Solar provided a full and complete proposal for our rooftop solar array. They provided the spec sheets for all equipment. They not only provided the information on the panels and the microinverters, they even provided information down to the details about the specialty brackets and caulking used to attach the system to the roof. They handled all permitting with the local county officials. The electrical team that upgraded the electrical panel was meticulously precise in the placement of the additional panel boxes, wiring and where they ran the conduit. The solar panel roof installation team arrived on time, explained the process and worked seamlessly to install the roof panels and critter guards without delay. After installation and activation of the system, Lumina Solar still stayed in contact and provided excellent customer service to get us connected to the solar credit system in our area. We highly recommend Lumina Solar based on our experience with Kurt Bradshaw and his team.

I can honestly say that my experience with Lumina Solar has been first rate from day one. I am a senior citizen and not too computer knowledgeable and the team walked me through every process. Every price point was laid out in advance and adhered to. I am extremely pleased with the final result and enjoying my solar experience.

I have been wanting to get a solar roof for over 20 years and now is the time. The whole process was easy to go through and the steps were completed on time or early. I expected the installation to be ready to use by the end of October 2024 and it was turned on in late September 2024. The installation was completed in about half a day for my 16 panel system. The workers were very professional and the finished work product looks professional as well.

Extremely happy with all aspects of solar installation by Lumina. Tim Cooke helped walk us through all phases. Most months our electric bill is $8.77 This is a standard charge from PEPCO. I am retired and my wife will be soon. We were looking for ways to lower our fixed expenses in retirement. In addition to a small monthly bill we get checks for the additional power we are creating. We are on track to our full payback date.

Ryan cook did great

Excellent, I highly recommend.

Courtney was great with explaining how the system would work, the process we would be going through, and communicated with us every step of the way.

Lumina solar is an amazing company to deal with. There are very knowledgeable, and great communication through the entire process. My township had an old ordinance that prevented the size of system that I needed. Lumina worked and kept me informed as to what we needed to do to get the permits. Everyone from the start to the finish was nice and friendly. I would highly recommend this company.
