Lumina

Lumina is FANTASTIC

Lumina installed our 37 panel system 7 months ago, and we are extremely pleased! Their sales staff is excellent, very knowledgeable and professional. Their installation was top notch as well. The entire system was installed in two days, and it is very, very well done. (I'm an engineer and a trained electrician, and everything I've seen in the installation meets my very critical standards.) They worked very well with our local government and power supplier to obtain all the permits we needed, and everything in that regard was completed very efficiently. After 7 months the system has worked flawlessly, and we have yet to purchase a KW from the grid. Several friends saw our installation and also chose Lumina for their systems. They had the same experience we have had. We are all very pleased with Lumina. They help to educate you, keep you informed, and deliver on what they promise. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Lumina if you are in the market for green power, reducing your electric bill, reducing your carbon footprint or just taking advantage of the Federal tax credit for residential solar installations!

Great Performance

Tim Cooke listened to my needs and came up with an excellent design, sized to meet growing future needs such as EV charging. I obtained estimates from numerous companies. Not only did Lumina come highly recommended by friends and neighbors, their unit price per kW was the best. Install went very smoothly and the system is doing very well.

Working with Courtney and the entire team was a great experience. Courtney was extremely informative. She never made me feel she pushing for a sale, which is important to me. The entire installation team was incredible. They were very efficient and just all around nice guys. I have and will continue to recommend them to everyone that I know.

Awesome Work

Lumina Solar finished the work on time and took care of everything, these people are really professional in their work. Their response is quick and their customer service is really great.

Power to the People 2023

It started with a phone call with Christopher Richardson who was the Project Manager/Sales Consultant. I asked a lot of questions but he guided me thru them all along with prep tasks I needed to do first. He was always responsive, patient and very knowledgeable as well as honest. Once my property was ready for installation, things went like a NASA space launch will perfect coordination of tasks with Lumina staff, third party inspectors, utilities and permitting. The finished product is world class in terms of workmanship, quality and sophistication. It is also visually very compatible and unobtrusive with the style of the house. You literally can’t tell it is there. I could not imagine any other firm having all of these attributes. We are making power and it is very exciting. Power to the People in 2023 is a reality thanks to Lumina.

Lumina Solar focuses on customer service & satisfaction.

Lumina Solar is an exceptional solar panel company focusing on customer service and satisfaction. I know first hand. The people who work at Lumina including the sales representative, office staff, and installation crews are professional, transparent and detail oriented. I developed a rapport with the Lumina salesman, Steven Coffman. Steve explained the full process at our initial meeting and subsequently during each phase of the solar panel process. Several times Steve replied to my after work emails immediately! The Lumina staff people prepared my HOA approval so expertly that I received a fast approval without needing amendments or clarification. The electricians and panel installers were professional and worked on my home with care and consideration. I value greatly the care they took with the roof installation of my solar panels. I have only positive feelings about the company and recommend them without reservation. I was very happy that several workers spoke very well about the company too. If you are planning solar panel, contact Lumina Solar and ask for Steve Coffman.

Excellent experience

Going solar is something I’ve thought about for years and finally decided to act on it. Jevon Ciciliot, my salesman reached out to me and drove all the way up to my house to discuss further and come up with a game plan with the most efficient system possible. Jevon was polite, respectful, professional, and knowledgeable. With such a major investment, naturally there are a ton of questions. Jevon was able to answer and explain everything in a way that doesn’t make your head spin. He also presented and carried himself like a friend that I’ve known for years. Jevon was always available to answer any questions that inevitably pop up and would get back to me promptly regardless of how busy his schedule may be. Once it came time for installation, the install crew also carried themselves professionally and worked quickly. I was told it was a 2 full day job to complete but they were done in a day and a half without any mistakes. They kept me in the loop throughout the install so I always knew how things were going. And most importantly they didn’t leave any mess behind once they were done. Overall I had an excellent experience.

Best Solar Company

I got many quotes for solar panels before finally choosing Lumina Solar. They provided the best customer service, panels and price. They answered any question I had even months after the system was installed. I referred them to a friend and he got Solar through them as well and is just as happy as me.

Very Professional

From my first contact with Lumina Solar the employees have been nothing but excellent! They answered all my questions, always in contact with me about appointments and any changes that occurred. My initial meeting with Matt answered all my questions and he was my contact all the way through. The various employees that were out to do the installation were pleasant, courteous, professional. They were efficient and cleaned up after themselves. I am so pleased with my solar panels!

After a lot of research and skepticism about going solar, I choose Lumina. Working with Gabriel and his team made the process smooth and easier I than expected. Lumina is very organized, professional, true to their word, & give excellent customer service. The panels and inverters that Lumina offers are highly rated is another reason I went with them. The panels have been online for two months and performing as advertised. I would recommend using Lumina.

My experience with Lumina Solar

I started exploring the installation of solar panels on my roof in July of 2023. I talked with and met with sales people from several companies. After meeting with Gabriel Shabtai from Lumina Solar I decided to go with Lumina. Gabriel explained the entire process clearly. He offered the best price. Working with Gabriel and the rest of the staff at Lumina has been a pleasure. They have been extremely courteous, prompt in their reply to all my requests for help. Every step in the installation process has been absolutely professional. From surveying the roof, to planning the system, to expediting the permitting, to installation, inspection by the county post installation, working with BGE to arrange net metering, to obtaining the permission to operate from BGE has been quick and seamless. All the staff at Lumina have been excellent. Caitlin did all the scheduling. Gary, Jason did great work with the installation. Chris the master electrician was very accommodating in working to install the Junction box, disconnect switch in the garage. They took all the needed pictures of the entire installation that was needed for post installation inspection. Lastly the initiation of the system going live was done remotely. From the day I signed the contract to when the system went live in operation took merely seventy days. Super fast. Cara and the team working to get my incentives from the state of Maryland, to property tax credit from Baltimore County and registering me with SRECTrade.com to get my credits for the system has all been done in one day. I have nothing but praise for the entire team at Lumina Solar. I am really happy I made the decision to go with Lumina. Gabriel was not only my sales person, but my project manager. He was very prompt in replying to all my text, email and phone messages. I have lived in my house for 35 years and worked with many contractors, Lumina has been the best one to work with.

Best experience from Sales to installation and Installation

Before I went Lumina as a service provider, I did my share of research in the marketplace. Alexander one of the sales rep provided me the details with different options including detailed setback options as well. During the roof inspection and installation process I had received details and instructions about the whole process. Installation is completed in one business day, even though the PTO got delay due to county inspection Lumina provide periodic reminders and status update. After PTO they helped to setup SREC account as well along with my county tax exemption filing. One final thing they even take extra steps to fix patches during installation along finding services to paint as well. Overall great

Solar Installation by Lumina Solar

About a month ago I had a wonderful experience with Lumina Solar when we signed a solar installation contract. My point of contact was Andrew Cimino and he completely reduced any complexities in the process over a couple of Zoom calls explaining everything from A to Z. The pre-installation activities like site review and permitting with the County, my HOA, and the BGE utility company were all handled by the company expeditiously without a hitch. On the day of installation their installers arrived early and started work on the electrical wiring and panel installs. They finished everything on same day and cleaned up the project site. Lumina Solar made the entire process look so easy I couldn’t help but wonder why other solar companies made it sound complicated. A month after the installation I can say all the panels are producing electricity as planned, shown through daily, weekly and monthly reports I receive. Lumina Solar has given me the peace of mind I needed and I unreservedly recommend them to anyone who wants to go solar.

Excellent

Purchased additional panels to supplement my existing array and a high-speed charger for EV - through EcoArlington's solar coop. Excellent experience - very clear and helpful in working through issues like how best to tie into existing array and electrical panels; options for charger placement. Install was highly professional - on schedule; done promptly; workmanship was neat and professional; everything cleaned up. Ongoing support through enphase and solar monitoring are excellent - superior to my original setup.

I've been working with the Lumina Solar team to get my solar system setup and operational. They have been beyond helpful through out the process and I don't have to worry about anything!

These guys were clean, quiet, knew what they were doing, did not disturb us at all and very professional. As the home owner, I had one contact person for the entire job. If I had any questions I knew who to email/call/ or text and I got an answer in less then one hour. And the best part....they finished weeks ahead of the projected "Go Live" date.

Lumina Solar is a great company to work with

We recently got our Solar installed with Lumina Solar and we had a great experience working with them. I would recommend this company to everyone who wants to go Solar.

Professional and dedicated

The experience was very good right from beginning to finish. The installation was quick and they kept us updated with all the procedures.

A great expereincewith Lumina Solar

Lumina provided great service and communication throughout the process! A big shoutout to Andrew, an exceptional Project Manager, and the team who helped with the HOA processing and all the submissions. Installation was without any hitch and the techs helped prepare me for what has been done and what is coming. I look forward to turning on the switch and starting to produce power!

Everyone was knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly. No complaints.

Fantastic system and crew

Everything went very smoothly from the initial consultation to installation. Our house is close to 5000 ft.² and we are running to in-home businesses. Even with an extra six people including four of us for part of the summer, our electric bill never was more than $15 a month. Peter was extremely professional, helpful and friendly!

Residential Solar Savings

When I researched solar options, Lumina stood out. They outlined the benefits of adding solar generation, provided technical information on current products, and clear pricing options. The installation team worked to accommodate specific requests to make my installation neat and tidy as well as efficient. Lumina stayed engaged after installation to help me monitor my system performance and provide assistance to maximize savings through SREC generation. Their customer service team is professional and available to help when needed. Give Lumina a call when you consider solar power options.

Go with Lumina. Best company.

I did a lot of research on various solar companies in the DMV area. I did the whole gambit and discussed my home project with about 10 companies. Lumina was not only one of the most communicative but their price was the most competitive. Once I told the other solar companies that I was going with Lumina I got an email from one of their competitors saying something along the lines of: "Lumina is one of the few companies I would recommend outside of our own. You made a good choice." Andrew Cimino, my Lumina solar consultant / project manager, really went above and beyond any customer-facing representative I have ever seen. He dove deep into the technical aspects of my solar project, quickly addressed my numerous concerns about solar in general, and was professional & responsive throughout the whole process. I cannot think of anything either Lumina or Andrew could have done better. I love my solar panels. I am so happy to have chosen Lumina and gotten Andrew as my project manager.

Lumina Solar is AMAZING #1

I am 100% impressed and amazed by every single aspect of the process of buying a solar system for my home: from inquiry, system design, site inspection, permitting, installation, wiring, and wifi configuration of my Lumina Solar installation. This company has figured out every single step along the path of adding a solar system to your home. Obviously, someone at Lumina Solar has a strong handle on the business processes and workflow of a big job like solar installs. I designed my own passive solar home many years ago with a roof designed for solar panels. I have been inquiring about this seriously over the past 5 years. This year I noticed some large solar installs on homes near us in Harleysville, PA, USA. When I asked these homeowners who did these installs, they told me about how pleased they were with Lumina Solar. So this summer, 2023, I started into this project once again, this being at least my 10th time talking to solar companies. From the very first meeting online with Christopher Richardson <crichardson@luminasolar.com> I was totally impressed. With my background in architecture and building, I was really interested in the process and the use of the GEO mapping software he used to lay out my panels. With Christopher, we were able to design a system that met our electrical usage based on my past two years of power consumption. After a few layouts and projections of power generation based on geo specs and roof angles and roof azimuth, Christopher was able to project the performance of the system. At that moment, I was really sold on working with Lumina Solar, little did I know that all the many steps to follow would go just as well as this first process if not better. After the final layout and design, the installation day was set, and of course, I had concerns. All my concerns were erased from the first arrival of the installation teams, The roofers, assistants, and electrician teams all gathered up at my home right on time. They went over the installation plans, looked over the site, and immediately set up the various jobs sites. Each team went over the job site with me and the electricians set up shop at the basement panel and the outside electrical feed. The roofing team set up shop out back and pre-loaded all the panels, cabling, and systems needed for the solar panel roof installation. The installation went perfectly. The electrical work was SUPERB, By late in the afternoon, the entire system of 18 panels was configured and evaluated. The next day, I received emails from Lumina Solar informing me of the next steps towards PTO, permission to operate, and sending my power into the electrical grid. Once we receive that we will be fully operational. The steps to installing solar are many, and every single step is fully known and executed well by this company! The bottom line. Lumina Solar is one incredible company with every single process of their Solar Business fully figured out and mapped out. I can highly recommend that you inquire about a solar system for your home, and reach out to Christopher Richardson <crichardson@luminasolar.com> who will design and project a perfect solar system for you as well. THANK YOU LUMINA SOLAR! Hayden Cochran
