Lumina

I worked with Christopher Richardson at Lumina. He offered a clear, comprehensive, detailed presentation and quote. None of the other four companies I spoke to offered anything about their quotes in writing unless I agreed to sign with them. Two offered their saleperson's hand written notes and the other only offered a quote by phone. Christopher emailed me a personized powerpoint presentation that allowed me to see everything about the specifications of the system they would design for my house including details about the panels, inverters, installation, and financing. They gave me all of the information and time that I needed to make a decision, and they offered the best product and price to boot. I also really appreciated going to their website and being able to see information about who the leaders and staff are at Lumina and how diverse the company is in every way. The staff, engineer, and workmen were professional and competent at every step of the installation process. My system is working beautifully. It covers 100%+ of my energy needs and is costing me less per year, with no money down, to own the panels. Going 100% solar with Lumina is one of the best decisions I've made.

Great company

Clear sales presentation. Great support through the entire process. Up and running and watching my meter run backwards! Highly recommend Lumina.

Well informed and professional

We could not have been more impressed with Lumina solar sales and installers. Phil was an expert on all things solar and answered all of our questions and laid out great options for our instal. We were incredibly impressed by the installers. They worked with us to hide the wiring to the meter and were in and out in one day. Most impressively they roped off their area of work so that my kids did not get to their equipment and they picked up every last bit of trash behind them. The solar system is saving us $$ everyday and we could not be more happy with it. Mike and Steph.

Awesome company!

Very professional and friendly company. I went through multiple solar companies, getting quotes and out of all of them Lumina had the best cost, financing, service, knowledge and warranty. The big national brands do not have the personal relationship with the local permitting office and therefore don’t know the local codes, which limit the amount of panels they put on your roof. Lumina worked closely with the permitting office and was able to maximize the number of solar panels I could get in my roof. Furthermore their roof inspector was very detailed, not just use a drone to take photos. They were on the roof inspecting and measuring every square inch. They found some flaws which I had my roofing company make warranty repairs. Without the inspection, I would of never known and a drone wouldn’t of been able to see it. All of the staff was very detailed, and kept track of every step of the install and activation process. I did ask the county inspector how the install work was and he had commented that Lumina always does good work and he doesn’t have to “chase” them for mistakes, like he has to do with other companies. My solar install is very clean, there are not conduits running every where on my roof and the panels and micro inverted they use are the most advanced ones right now. Cost ended being about $2.76/watt which is very reasonable for the type of panels and inverters I got. I had quotes from other companies were much higher and crappier panels and poorer service. I would highly recommend lumina to anyone looking to install solar. Everyone they use is in house and not contractors.

Professional and timely!

The installation came quicker than anticipated, very smooth process. Kurt is fantastic. 10/10

great job

They did a great job my salesman Christopher Richardson was awesome answered every question i had through the whole process. Crew that installed did a great job and were very friendly

Quick but Professional

I was sold on Solar by Peter Hayes of Lumina Solar after his presentation. There is a lot of data involved in determining whether Solar was going to be the right fit for my residence. Peter broke down the info in a concise and easy to understand manner. The installers were the same way. They came out to my home, introduced themselves, and got right to work. Within a few short hours, the system and installed. The lead installer walked me through what to expect next with the rest of the connection process (PECO connectivity and meter swap) and were just overall pleasant and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone who asks

Makes a Complicate Process and Easy One

The process is a complicated one, but the team at Lumina made it simple. From putting together the proposal, to completing the installation, they helped us all along the way and made everything seamless. I particularly wish I could give more than five stars for schedule. Catie worked really hard to keep everything on schedule along the way which I really appreciated.

Highly recommended!

Everyone, from start to finish, was helpful, making sure we understood each step and got answers to our questions. We are thrilled with our new rooftop solar system!

Solar installation Experience

"All visits for work and inspections were scheduled to our satisfaction and there were no surprises during installation or turn on. The system has performed as advertised , so much so that the only way I know our electric goes out is when I check my Tesla app and see we were on backup. The ENPHASE folks also provide a good monthly summary of my system performance that we find invaluable for future plans."

Great experience

I am happy to give a positive review of Lumina Solar. My initial consult with Peter DiGuardia was informative. We discussed options and he then customized a system for me. HE LISTENED and responded quickly throughout the process giving updates as appropriate. Installation day was exciting for me and professional from them. Nicholas Collins and Devin Jones(electricians) worked hard with a smile. They left no trace after project was complete-neat,careful crew. I was very fortunate with timing and credit Lumina solar with their knowledge and clerical fortitude to have all permit, inspections and other issues resolved. My system was running with power company’s approval 10 days later.

Smooth as silk

The whole team at Lumina Solar was great to work with. All of our questions were answered without hesitation. The install process was clean and quick. Don't regret going solar and choosing this company what so ever. For those sitting on the fence I suggest you move forward with ease.

Excellent green purchase.

Lumina did a great job. They are quite knowledgeable about their product. Pepco's paying us now.

Great experience with Lumina

Had a great experience with Lumina Solar. Found them to be professional, prompt, and very transparent and clear throughout the process. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to go solar. Only regret is not having done it sooner. (Am trying to get my workplace to use them to go solar!)

Lumina was a pleasure to work with

The Lumina team were fantastic from the beginning of the project until the solar panels were up and running. Catie Meck led the initial assessment. She was extremely knowledgable about solar energy production and explained the entire process adding realistic timelines. Elayna Birch-Smith, the surveyor came out to the house and did a very detailed assessment of the existing roof (size for panels and condition of roof, inspected the electric panel, and the attic space. Dominic Redmond, lead installer, and Kenyan Williams, assistant installer knew exactly what they were doing and installed 35 panels in the course of a day. Very professional and efficient. Likewise, Chris Rose the lead electrician, and Devin Jones, electrician wired the system using conduit, etc. into the existing panel. All in all, a very neat and professional job. All of this took place seamlessly by Brooke Adolfo - the HOA / project administrator and Miranda Howard, the scheduler. Everything went as planned including permits, PEPCO notification and meter change, final Montgomery Co inspection and certification. All in all, the team was a pleasure to work with.

We're delighted!

From start to finish the process was professional, efficient, and easy. Follow-through and customer service have been top notch. Last week it was especially nice to receive our first check from BGE rather than sending them a check.

Lumina is great!

Lumina was fantastic to work with. From start to finish they were there every step of the way keeping me informed and up to date. They answering any questions I had and made it clear what the next steps would be. The installation was efficient and the installers were very professional. It was great not to have any part of the process subcontracted out, and to work with Lumina of the whole way.

Highly recommend Lumina

Lumina was the most savvy solar provider we talked to. They are professional and installed a fantastic system for us in Oct 2021.

Best solar company in the country!!

Very knowledgeable staff! Very efficient install team! They take care of everything for you, and when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING (permits, inspections, utility company, SRECs, State, & county rebates)!!

Hard to beat Lumina

Everything at Lumina Solar has been such a great workflow. Speaking initially with our main contact Jack, was like having a conversation with a friend. He was not pushy and didn't act like a "sales man". He was also very knowledgeable and able to answer every question we had. Installation with Lumina Solar flawless. The team worked quickly, proficiently and cleanly. They were able to also answer all the questions we had about the installation. Jack has also been available any time we had additional questions and was able to take care of any minor problems that came up. We are already seeing fantastic results in overall KWH produced and lower electric costs.

Let the sun shine in

We had a wonderful experience with Lumina Solar—from sales to installation to post-installation set up and running. The installers were careful and informative. The whole process was pretty easy. When I wrote to ask questions, they were answered quickly and carefully. We are happily producing energy!

Great Solar Company

Lumina is great! Excellent communication throughout the process. The workers were quick, clean, safe and arrived right on time on the day of the job. System is working great. Highly recommended!

I contacted Lumina in June 2021 about installing solar panels. My system was approved, installed and operating by the first week of October 2021. They took the time to ensure that the system was designed to maximize solar exposure and they showed me the data behind the system design. They answered all of my questions, kept me informed step-by-step, and made the whole process painless. They have even sent me emails about my system's performance after installation was complete. Lumina really cares about the systems they install and their customers. I highly recommend using Lumina if you are interested in solar energy.

Loving our transition to Solar

The Lumina Team was outstanding from first interaction through to getting our system turned on. Every team member we met was professional and respectful of our property and they worked through several challenges with our install. Including the Power Wall to provide backup power has come in handy several times already. Let the sun shine!"

A good experience.

So far I have had a very positive experience with Lumina. A friend had done some research and sent me his top solar prospects, with Lumina as his #1. I called several companies and Lumina stood just above the others. The salesperson, Matt D, was knowledgeable and supportive without being pushy. The design process was all done over zoom, and everything was well explained. Once I was ready to commit, everything moved along smoothly and as expected. The installation was uneventful in a good way. The permitting took a while, but they had set my expectations for that, so it wasn't a surprise. Once the panels were up and running, the monitoring software is great, and Matt continues to support me as I have questions. My panels came online in October of 2021, and have been running smoothly. I've had 3 months where they slightly underperformed Lumina's estimates, and 2 months where they slightly overperformed Lumina's estimates. And I've had my electric bill be a $10 connection fee and NOTHING more, EVERY month! I also added an electric car, and since I knew that might be something I was going to get, Matt helped me size the system accordingly, and even adding in the electric car, the panels are still making enough to cover all my needs!
