The Best Solar Company

I cannot say enough good things about Lumina Solar. Tim and the Lumina team made the entire process from my initial inquiry to the installation seamless. Tim maintained excellent communication and even gave me his cell phone number to contact him if I had any questions or concerns. The installation team arrived early, ready to work. They even helped my partner move his disabled vehicle so they could have room to work! The team arrived early and stayed until they put everything they moved back in place, including the disabled car. They were professional, friendly, and very proud of the work they did. I cannot wait until the system is up and running in a few weeks. I can rest assured knowing Lumina will take care of whatever is necessary to make that happen.

Exceeded expectations!

The whole team was incredibly professional throughout the process. Helped us pick what would be right for us with the most detailed presentation we saw after speaking with 4 other companies. Great communication without being to “salesy” and answered every one of my questions. They also had the best specs for panels/inverters on top of a competitive price. There’s lots of options out there but Lumina knows their product and the process, which gave us peace of mind for a large investment.

Amazing crew!

From start to finish Lumina has been great, I first met Phillip he walked me through all the steps and answered every question I had no matter when it came up, then came install day, I was a little nervous honestly I just built my house in 2019 but I was greeted by the A team Ben Kimmel was the Manager , Jimmy the Lead Installer, with Haden And Dan, worked together like a well oiled machine, they had every step of the install down to a science, Mike the Lead electrician walked me through how the conduit would be run so it was attractive and didn’t stand out his crew James And Matt did an outstanding job. This crew was simply amazing, the level of care and clean up was exceptional, Late in the day after all the panels were up they went up on the roof for one more look over and cleaned every finger print off they could find, now if they pay attention to that detail in cleanup then I know every part of the install was treated with the Same level of care.

Top notch company.

Our experience with Lumina Solar was excellent from the beginning to the end of the installation process. If you’re looking for solar in Pa. “Ask for Joe!” Joe Verbinski is a class act. The crew that installed our system was definitely the “A Team.” Crew leader Eric was patient with my many questions and explained every step of the process. The electrician Dustin and his partner, also Eric, did an excellent of concealing all of the conduit along some existing PVC piping. The whole process was awesome. I would highly recommend Lumina Solar.

Amazing Company!

I got solar panels installed on my home in September through Lumina and they were so helpful and efficient with the entire process! Zac walked me through every step and explained things thoroughly. He provided tons of options, from various types of panels, to critter guards, and even getting the electric box and roof replaced at the same time. Each option, he talked me through and provided the pros and cons and gave me the time and space to think things through! The panels have been working great ever since they were installed and are saving me a ton of money. I couldn't ask for a better experience than the one I got through Lumina.

Great experience with Lumina Solar

Great experience with Lumina Solar. Luisa Yared from the company walked us through the whole process and always kept us in the loop during the proposal/permit steps. The installers showed up on time and worked efficiently. Would highly recommend the company and working with Luisa!

Love Solar! (& Lumina Solar!)

"I was among the first people in my DC neighborhood to venture into the world of Solar a little more than 2 years ago (Zip code 20012 --system size 6.6 kW)---I and my neighbors who met with the Lumina representative have been happy we did so every day since then. In our first meeting, the Lumina representative explained the installation process and what to expect during installation through to follow up. To this day I continue to be impressed and highly satisfied ...and more than willing to answer the "solar questions" of my neighbors. From our first meeting with the Lumina representative, it was evident that Lumina stresses Quality, and Professionalism. I ask a lot of questions, and the Lumina representative always provided information and answers requested very quickly. The gentlemen on the installation team were knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and well-focused on their work. And the follow-up once the panels were installed was timely, helpful and thorough to ensure I and my family were comfortable and any questions we had were answered. Since my first meeting with the Lumina representative to today, I have been totally satisfied...and would tell any inquirer that Lumina Solar is at the top in the 3 most important decision-making areas: Sales process, Quality, and Professionalism.... and I recommend both moving to solar panels...and Lumina as the company to work with."

Great Service - new to Solar

Catie Meck is my Solar Consultant with lumina solar. She is the most patient, warm and thorough professional you could imagine. I am new to solar and had ZERO understanding of how things worked. Catie carefully walked me through all options and cheerfully answered the same questions over and over until i was completely comfortable. Then answered more questions. Lumina’s process is really simple and straightforward; they absolutely took care of everything to include HOA, county, and state approval. I appreciate the ongoing service after the sale and especially their availability whenever I need them. Awesome experience!

Excellent company to work with

I contacted few solar companies to obtain proposals. In addition to others, Ms. Luisa Yared of Lumina Solar contacted me. I felt very comfortable dealing with her. She also gave me a lot of information that no other company voluanteered. I learned a lot while dealing with her. It took them less than 3 weeks to design, obtain all necessary approvals and permits and install the system. I am very pleased with Lumina Solar's performance and strongly recommend it to everyone who is interested in Solar techonology

Painless process and rebates, credits and grants explained.

I highly recommend Lumina Solar. The cost and solar panel name brand equipment is what attracted me to Lumina Solar which were reasonable. My experience was hassle free and painless. Matt walked me through the process of installing and owning solar panels. He responded to my questions and concerns in a timely manner. He explained the rebates, credits and grants I would receive. The team was very knowledgeable, conducted themselves in a professional manner and great customer service.

Fantastic Company with Great Product and Staff!

I have the pleasure of having a friend who worked at Lumina Solar and he referred me to Phil Jordan, a Lumina sales rep. Phil always took the time to address my questions and set my house up with an awesome solar system pain free that otherwise would have been a tremendous amount of work. The install crew did a great and efficient job as well, and now we are pumping out energy! Thanks so much Phil & the Lumina Team

Great experience.

The process was very straightfoward. It took us maybe a month from start to finish. Our system is now up and running, and it's exciting to see it produce electricity in real time. We worked with Shane Williams, and he explained everything to us very clearly. I geeked out with the process and he sent me all the technical specs that I wanted, including the simulations. Some of the other companies we reached out to were not very responsive, so we decided to go with Lumina. Shane was available during the whole process anytime we needed something. I've already had a couple of neighbors reach out to me about solar, and I will recommend they go with Shane and Lumina.

Amazing company!

I decided to get solar panels after deciding that I was going to buy an EV car. After scouring the internet for local solar installers I grew disappointed in seeing the negative reviews on a bunch of installers here in MD. However not giving up I found Lumina Solar. WOW was I amazed at all the positive things said of them on Google so I decided to give them a call. From start to finish I worked with Alex. Alex was a genuine caring guy who I really enjoyed having as my sales rep. He was great at explaining things clearly so I could manage my expectations and was there to answer all of my questions through the process. Installation day came without any issues, all the workers were super nice and were able to get everything up and installed in one day. Lumina was great at handling all of the back and forth paper work needed to be handled with my electric company so the process to get the system turned on went by real quick which I was really pleased with, for I wanted to be eligible for the 30% tax credit! All in all, I am very pleased with Lumina solar, and if you're looking for a solar company like I was, you can't go wrong with them!

Excellent experience

Catie from Lumina made everything easy from start to finish. We quoted three other companies and Lumina's proposal and customer service were the best. Installation was simple, they took care of all the admin work and stayed on top of the project, and now the panels are rocking and rolling in time for spring. Would recommend!

Choose Lumina Solar

I was absolutely delighted with our Lumina Solar experience here in Pennsylvania. Matt Dier was our guide throughout the entire process and he was knowledgeable, dependable, attentive to all details, and responsive to my many rounds of questions. I appreciated his customer focus. He provided us a range of options for our house and worked with us to determine the best solar arrangement for our particular situation. Once we agreed upon a plan, he helped us understand what to expect at every stage, from payment and financing to installation to SRECs. When I had a question about one aspect of our solar installation on the day the panels were being installed, Matt looked into the question immediately, got back to me right away, and fully explained that aspect of the installation. The installation team too, described what they were doing and took time to educate us about the system configuration. It is such a pleasure to interact with professionals like Matt Dier and a top-notch company like Lumina Solar and I give them my highest recommendation!

Awesome Experience

We can't thank the Lumina Solar Team enough for our experience in the move to Go Solar! We started our journey with many questions, and Ryan and his team took time to explain details, educate us on our roof orientation with pictures to ensure we understood what we were purchasing, and remained available for any questions we had throughout the process. The installation team was prompt, friendly, and ready to answer any questions on the day of installation. My husband, who is always very skeptical when we make major moves like switching to solar, was so impressed with the team he got out the grill and invited the crew to stay for a quick bite to eat when our 1-day installation was complete. This was a great experience, and we are thrilled with the finished product. I would happily recommend Ryan and his team to anyone looking to make the move to Solar! Thanks!

Super Easy Switch to Solar

"The Lumina Solar team made the transition to solar very easy! All the paperwork was electronic and the install team was very fast, professional, and courteous. The fact that I didn't have to get a loan or pay a bunch out of pocket to switch was a great option for us as well. I still have the option to purchase my system if things change, so its a win, win, win."

Excellent Local Company with Personalized Service

Lumina is a first-class organization with an excellent product and process. Let me explain. My first interaction made me feel like a valued customer. Tim Cooke was my contact from the beginning to the end. He had prepared a detailed, personalized strategy for me. However, it was not final but further customized based on our interaction. He provided me high-quality details and summary of our conversation. Further, he stood behind his product and value in a way that was not a high-pressure sales routine but in a way that invited me to do my homework and compare. When I did further research, I found that the panels and inverters were rated among the best in the industry and the installation practices were also high quality. Tim was very patient and was always available. He answered all questions quickly. After agreeing to work with Lumina, Cory and Bryan inspected the property and did the necessary groundwork to get the documentation needed for the permits. Lumina employees cleaned if any attic insulation is removed. They answer questions. And, they also believe in the product and have their own system. Next came working with all of the county permits, electric company, HOA, etc... Tons of paperwork that Lumina handled and then scheduled my installation. I was able to interact with a few more folks, Erika, Jarid, and Mark who updated me for various parts of the project. All were professional and prompt. Next, Lumina sent the installation crew. This crew worked independently and, due to COVID, kept safe distances. There was not any flaws or damages. All work was completed on time. Finally, the system was inspected and operational. Throughout the entire process, Tim was always available for questions. I was kept updated. I think this is the best possible experience one can have. I highly recommend this company and their products. Now, looking forward to enjoying my investment for many, many years.

Great team, great installation experience

We had a solar system installed this winter. Alex and his team were very professional. The entire process was easy and streamlined. We ran into weather issues (snow) the first day, and the team was still able to get everything done on time. All members took the time to explain what they were doing, and anything I needed to do (which was surprisingly very little). They even went out of their way to fix an unrelated wiring issue in my electrical box, free of charge. I can't recommend them enough.

Lumina Solar is Top Notch

Did a fair amount of research and competitive bidding and ended up selecting Lumina. They weren't the lowest bidder but their technical approach was superior to the competition which made up my mind, they were also helped by all of the negative reviews of the competition. Worked with Shane and his team, communication was great and responsive. Their installers were very professional and they got my system installed in a day and a half. They take extra care to hide a lot of the interconnections resulting in a very clean looking system. Its up and running now with no issues.

Enjoyed working with Lumina

Worked with Lumina on two Tesla Powerwalls installed at a new home we built. They worked with our builders, the electricians and our solar provider to get the batteries integrated. They have been helpful on providing on-going support as we have worked on tweaking the setup. They also had a competitive price. Would recommend them for a Powerwall install.

Incredibly easy process, great sales experience

While looking for a solar installer, I spoke to 4 companies to make sure I was able to make an informed decision. After considering each proposal I ended up going with Lumina Solar - they provided the most comprehensive proposal at a reasonable price and seemed the most knowledgeable about local regulations out of the companies I interviewed. Alex, the sales rep I worked with, was up front and honest with me throughout the entire process. It was a zero pressure customer experience, which was not true with some of the other companies I received proposals from. Once I signed off on Lumina's proposal the entire process went smoothly, from the inspection to the installation to getting permission to operate. I would recommend this company to anyone who is interested in having solar panels installed on their home.
