Honest, professional installer and Excellent Customer Service

I did my researched for few months of which solar company is the best. It was mentioned to me by a friend and I went to check their reviews. I have never seen so many positive comments on a company such as Lumina and now I know why. They are honest and detailed. Zac Hare is amazing, he walked me through the process and kept me informed at all times. Brian and his team of installers are courteous, professional and trust worthy. I am a very happy and satisfied customer. Get Lumina Solar and you won’t regret it.

Excellent, personalized service

I met with several solar installers and finally choose Lumina. I have been extremely happy with both their products and services. Alex Ticu was highly professional, had a clear computer simulation of what the panels could look like, provided me with clear responses to each of my questions, never pressured me into the sale and kept me updated throughout the process. Despite the extended delays due to the local county process, they continued to send their staff whenever it was needed. The solar installer folks were a happy crew, they worked efficiently and effectively together on the process. Alex ensured that we had all the information that we needed and I felt that we were provided very personalized service. Alex and the Lumina team always went beyond what was required to get the job done. I learned a lot from reviewing the many solar company options and would strongly recommend this group to any home buyer. You won't be disappointed!

Honest, attention to detail

Alex and his team did a professional job. I’m a very direct client who has been in business for 29 years. I expect any contractor I hire to do the job as agreed, they so far have done that and more. I would highly recommend them.

An Excellent Experience Throughout

Zachary Hare was impressive from the beginning with his professional and thorough presentation and he has continued to impress with responsiveness and followup. Furthermore, the installation went beautifully. The installers were careful and considerate. The system works beautifully. We cannot recommend Lumina Solar highly enough.

Excellent work with Installation and Follow up

I had done my research over 12 months and in August 2019 decided to go with Lumina Solar and met with Alex Ticu. After several discussions with him I decided to add the Tesla Powerwall 2. Everything was installed and commissioned by Dec 31, 2019 so I was able to get the full 30% Fed Tax credit. The electrical work and conduit routing and installation by Josh was a work of art that I proudly show off to anyone. Erica, Erin and Mary Kate coordinated the project and did all the background work and things went smoothly. I recommend Lumina Solar

Excellent Job on Large System

Lumina installed a very large solar system and 4 Tesla Powerwalls for me. Ryan Farrell and his team kept me up to date every stage of a very long and complex design and permitting process. We had signed our contract late in the year with hoping to get it finished before year end. Lumina worked hard when our permits where approved to keep us on schedule despite generally uncooperative weather including coming out to finish things up Christmas Eve. They have continued to go above and beyond making sure all the monitoring utilities are working correctly post completion. Very pleased with Lumina and would recommend it without reservation.

Kept me informed

Explained everything and kept me up to date on each step of the progress of the project.

Great local solar

I selected Lumina from a long list of both local and national solar companies based on great reviews, great presentation and a great deal. From the beginning, working with Colin was very easy and it was clear he knew the technical details I sought. He was responsive to any and all questions at any time and his team was professional and respectful of our new yard during the installation process. Every detail was taken care of from paperwork to drywall repairs. I have already referred several neighbors and family members to Lumina.

Great company

Very professional, efficient and responsive,. Worked with my schedule and right on time. Very nice people

For Solar Panels, Lumina Solar is the Only Way to Go!!

Lumina Solar installed a seventy (70) panel solar system on my house. From the initial contact through the final hook-up and beyond, their service and professionalism was of the highest level. Perhaps the best contractor I had the pleasure of working with! My point of contact at Lumina Solar was Zachary Hare. Zac provided a detailed quote, and answered all of my questions very clearly. He presented several customized proposals with different options. He is very easy to work with and did not use “hard sell” tactics at all. He went out of his way to make sure that I got the best price while still maximizing the system wattage. He is very communicative; calls and/or e-mails were promptly answered. He sent regular updates on progress of various aspects of the project. Lumina Solar quality of the work is outstanding also; down to the level of aesthetic placement of wiring inside the attic. All work was performed as scheduled without delays. Their workers were on time, courteous, trustworthy and left the house clean and tidy once they had finished. Following the installation, Lumina Solar also helped me with the paperwork for MD grant and SREC setup. My system is online and live now. I am very happy with the output so far! I would most definitely recommend Lumina Solar to anyone who is considering installation of solar panels.

Solar install

Ryan and his team did a great job. Good all around experience with a team that knows the Solar business. Thanks

Excellent Solar Installation Company

After a 6-month long search and review process I settled on Lumina as my solar panel installation company. I have a pretty complicated hip roof and the Lumina team skillfully negotiated a few challenges and produced an esthetically pleasing 44-panel array on my roof. Zac was my initial salesman and point person who educated me quite a bit about the nuances of the solar conversion process. Zac was always available for my questions and he proactively kept me up-to-date and was always in touch even during my 6-month review period. Santos, Josh and Kyle (the tech that did a lot of the tortuous work in my hot attic space) were the primary folks conducting the installation and I was very pleased with their professionalism and knowledge of their craft. The installation part took 1.5 days at the beginning of October 2019 and my PEPCO bill was dramatically reduced for the October 2019 billing cycle and for my November 2019 billing cycle, my system produced an excess amount of energy and my bill was only $8.95 for PEPCO administrative fees. My PEPCO bill can be as high as $500 in the summer and averages about $290 per month when I add in the low bills over the winter. Thanks to the Lumina team I can look forward to helping the planet and my bank account!!!

Lumina Solar and all of the employees that I dealt with directly

If you are thinking of going solar, this is the team you should trust! They are knowledgeable about their field and explain everything from how it works to why it works. Even after the install has been completed, all of my questions have been responded to quickly. The Lumina Solar team take care of the paperwork and filing for rebates, as well as setting up your necessary online accounts. I loved working with them and look forward to continued support throughout the life of the system.

A+++

[43 new solar panels on a flat roof] I've rarely had such a great experience working with any company, in any field. Zac was very knowledgeable, patient, and good at explaining things in layman's terms. The planning was thorough but efficient, and everything happened within the promised timeframe. The installers were on time and stayed past dark to finish on schedule, leaving no mess or damage to the surrounding areas. The work passed city inspection with no issue. I can't say one bad thing; would recommend without hesitation!

Excellent service and timely installation

Our experience with Lumina Solar has been wonderful. The entire process from start to finish was handled very smoothly. Zachary Hare started with a good introduction to Solar Energy and Lumina's Solar installation process. He was very professional and was prompt with messages as we went through the purchase and installation. The installation team did a thorough job as well, resulting in a well laid out panel system. Lumina made the inspection and approval processes seamless. The project timeframe was shorter than expected and the entire installation process was not stressful. My Solar system was up and running, generating energy within two weeks of panel installation. We are very happy that we went with Lumina and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to installing Solar.

Exceptional Solar Installer

Very professional response to an inquiry for a solar installer

An Exceptional Solar System Installer

Lumina Solar has impressive design capabilities and very competent staff to manage all aspects of the installation

Awesome company!

Lumina was very communicative throughout the entire process from the in house home analysis to the install and even afterwards. From the very start they were very knowledgeable and explained everything to me in detail and answered all my questions. I had multiple quotes for a solar system and Lumina matched another companies quote. Lumina installed ~11kw system on my current house and if I'm not using my HVAC I am net negative over a month. I am very pleased with the install and the power output of the system. I was even able to have other electrical work done with the panels at cost which was very convenient. This is my second solar system install an while my first install was fine working with Lumina was much more informative and they were on top of everything from the very beginning. I highly recommend working with Lumnia.

The best service and price I could hope for.

Everyone, from my first contact with the company until the inspections were completed, was incredibly helpful. They were more than happy to work through a number of different options, figure out a very complicated electrical and roof system, and quickly come up with a solution when it turned out part of my roof couldn't hold panels. Everyone came on time when they were supposed to, answered all my questions no matter how ignorant they sounded, and most importantly, were very friendly and pleasant, in addition to doing top quality work. All told, installation took less than a day, soup to nuts. This company is clearly customer focused, values its clientele and being as thorough and professional as possible.

Best Experience

best experience start to finish. Excellent presentation about why solar and variables involved and designed a system that fits my need. System is up and running in 45 days, well ahead of the schedule. Professional work. Kudos to Ryan and his team.

Cannot Recommend Highly Enough

From the outset, we had a feeling that we'd be happy with Lumina Solar. I'm pleased to say that our instincts were correct - Ryan and the team were communicative throughout, explaining just what we'd be getting for our investment, and laying out a realistic timeline (given the permitting system in DC, that's not always easy!). Every team member we spoke to was incredibly helpful and informative, and we continue to be impressed by the level of service.

Very professional, understandable, no gimmicks, straight forward

Ryan convinced us ( we researched 3 other companies) with his professionalism, he kept his promises with the timeline, installation was fast and smooth, we were satisfied with Lumina's performance. I recommend my listeners this company 100%. The end price was prefect, other ones were way more expensive.

Outstanding, ethical and Value for Money!

I worked with Zac Hare and Lumina in navigating through the maze of questions for my solar purchase. It can be a complicated process right from deciding how to pay for your solar, to deciding on the panels themselves - type, efficiency size (kw/kwhr). Zac helped me navigate through this process very easily always being professional, courteous and never being pushy behind the sale unlike many other solar companies who I had met before. Lumina doesn't price gouge or try to rip off it's customers and the process from start to finish took just over 60 days for me which was great and highly efficient. I would highly recommend Lumina to anyone looking to go Solar and they need to look no further than them as they would be going with a very trustworthy firm. I am a raving fan of both Zac personally and Lumina for the outstanding work they have done. As soon as our NetMeter gets installed we will be ready to become full-time solar producers.

Well planned and executed solar install

Ryan met with us after another company giving us an offer and 30 days to find a better deal, but also giving us a uneasy feeling about dealing with this other company. The experience was different from the start with Ryan. No hard sales pitch; Answered all questions without giving off a sense we were wasting his time, or asking silly questions. And they undercut our other offer by a noticeable amount. The experience didn't change throughout install. All questions were answered, and issues addressed throughout. Install date came before we knew it and was knocked out in 2 days for a 57 panel install. The process to get approved by our electricity supply company was also super quick. Less than 2 weeks until our meter was switched out and we were generating clean energy and offsetting a significant portion of our usage ($270 bill down to $33 coming into Fall, which would have been more substantial had we started the process earlier in the year to make use of more of summer - read towards start of spring) which was significantly shorter than friends who have also got solar. Would highly recommend Ryan and the Lumina team.
