Lumina Solar

Great company and great people. Communicated well throughout the process and delivered what they promised, on time and without any problems. Our solar system is delivering exactly as they predicted it would and has been trouble free. Highly recommend.

After talking with several solar companies in the area, we decided to have Lumina Solar install our panels. Their original presentation was straightforward, comprehensible, and all questions were answered when they arose. The process was very easy as the company took care of everything. There are so many permits, rebate forms, rules and regulations but at no time did I feel uninformed. I truly felt the company had our best interest in mind. I would highly recommend them for anyone considering going solar.

Lumina Solar was wonderful to deal with from A-Z(Conception to Installation), their communication was excellent throughout the process. The installation was perfect. The solar system is overproducing the initial estimate. Thank you Andrew Cimino, well done!

When I decided to go solar, I had done a lot of research. I got quotes from about 8 different providers, I spoke with lots of sales reps, and I compared specs of lots of different systems. I went with Lumina partly because their system promised to perform better at similar cost to other systems, and because their sales rep Andrew Cimino was very helpful and responsive. During the bid process, he was on vacation for a week, out of the country, but he still responded to my questions and requests promptly and with attention to detail. The installation went very smoothly and their team led me through every step of the process with the same attentiveness. My system has been operating for a few days now and everything has been functioning as described in their literature, no surprises. For a large investment like this one (I had an 11kW system installed), I would highly recommend Lumina as an installer.

I had a very positive experience with Lumina Solar, and in particular with Charlie Keyser, the sales rep that I worked with. Lumina installed a 19-panel solar system on my roof in March 2024. The process was smooth, with every step of the paperwork and the actual installation explained in detail by Lumina. But there are further reasons that I'm happy with this company and with Charlie. I originally talked to Charlie about solar installation in October 2023. But I did not proceed because I would need to replace part of my roof (3-tab shingles) with architectural shingles, which adds extra expense. But Lumina offered an incentive in December 2023, upon which I re-contacted Charlie. We went over a number of roof replacement, solar panel config and pricing scenarios. During this phase Charlie showed prompt communication, detail orientation and a willingness to partner with me to find an optimal solution, as opposed to just maximizing revenue for his company. I eventually decided to do both a partial roof replacement and solar installation with Lumina. I evaluated a few other solar companies. One aspect in which Lumina and Charlie stood out is that he was never pushy. This was the big differentiator between Lumina and the other major solar installer I had shortlisted. I don't like aggressive sales tactics, irrespective of the price point and other factors. What I like is someone partnering with me to arrive at a solution. This is what I got with Lumina and Charlie. Following the installation, Charlie has been continuously responsive to answer my questions on SRECs etc. The panels are working well and meeting most of my energy needs now.

Lumina Review<br />We had a great experience buying a multi-home solar system with Lumina Solar. Our consultant, Christopher Richardson did a great job. I’m a retired Nuclear Engineer and I figured that I could design the system we wanted and get multiple Solar companies to bid against each other, so we could get the best price. <br />Boy was I wrong! When I told Christopher what we wanted, he looked at all our buildings. He found that by using our Barn and Hayloft roofs, we could improve our Solar Energy capture efficiency from 72% to 98%. The savings over the 25-year lifespan of the system will be tremendous.<br />Christopher explained that this was possible because we could use the Electricity generated at our barns for all our properties. This was because we qualified for “Virtual Aggregate Net Metering”. This means that we could put the panels on the best South facing roofs and use the electricity for all the other buildings.<br />None of the other eight Solar Companies that gave us quotes, picked up on Christopher’s approach. To make it even better, before we started, he reviewed our Monthly Electric Bills and noticed that we were paying our current Electric Company twice what we could pay with a different supplier.<br />We changed suppliers that day and cut our bills in half.<br />Even after the installation, Christopher Richardson has been very responsive to my detailed technical questions.<br /><br />Ninety 405 Watt DC REC panels with Enphase 8+ microinverters 290 Watt AC produces 26,100 Watts AC. Guaranteed Annual production of 44,735 kWatt-Hours.

“I highly recommend Lumina Solar. Our sales person Peter was very knowledgeable and very professional in updating us on the project status from start to finish. Peter was always available via text/phone to answer any questions at any time throughout the process. Lumina Solar installers were very professional and meticulous in the project installation. The day of installation was extremely frigid and windy but the installers took their time to make sure the job was done neatly and 100% to our standards. Their customer service and support is excellent. We were hesitant at first about whether solar was right for us, but the experience was fantastic and definitely the right move. I would highly recommend Lumina Solar to those who may be skeptical or those who just need the best in solar out there.”

I installed solar with Lumina as a reference from my neighbor who also used them. The sales process was very detailed and thorough. Gabriel came to my house and gave a very detailed presentation explaining every part of the process and the technology. I was interested in the technology side and Gabriel, being someone who used to do installs, was able to answer all my techy questions. The permitting process was the most annoying, but Lumina took care of all the paperwork for me with the county, my HOA, and Dominion. All I had to do was review documents and sign off. The process took a few months, but the holdup was not on Lumina's end. Once we got the final approval for the install, they scheduled it within a week. The inspection failed the first time, but for very minor, picky items which were quickly remedied. Once the inspection passed, turning the system on happening quite fast as well. Overall very happy with the installation and would recommend Lumina to anyone looking to install solar. They are local, very knowledgeable and thorough, and they take care of all the steps for you. The only minor feedback I had for them was to better set expectations of the process and timelines, but Gabriel took down that feedback and said he was going to bring that back to his management team so that they can implement changes in the future.

I just had Lumina install a 47 panel system on my home in Bethlehem PA. Courtney was my person of contact throughout the design and installation process. She has been head and shoulders above every other design consultant I spoke to. I had four different solar companies quote a price and design. Lumina WAS THE BEST! Not the cheapest or the most expensive of the group but by far the most personable, helpful, and comfortable to deal with. The quality of the workmanship and cleanup by the installation crew and electricians was fantastic everyone will take the time to talk with you and insure your comfort and understanding of the system and involved processes. I highly highly recommend Lumina solar if you are thinking of making the switch. As a bonus they are also there to help with SREC and tax credits which can be a little confusing. Great company. Great product. Great experience.

We are very pleased with our experience with Lumina. We compared three companies and they won out on price, timing, sales process, and support. Christopher Richardson explained the whole process well in a friendly and unhurried manner. He was proactive in his follow up without being pushy. They handled all the details and installed the system in the time frame they had promised. They generally kept us well informed throughout the process.
