Great job and very pleased with Lumina

Lumina Solar installed a 5.98kW 13-panel solar system the second week of January, luckily before the major snow and ice storm hit this region of Virginia. I did a lot of research both on the equipment and the company. Our panels are REC460AA Pure-RX using 13 Enphase IQ8X Inverters. My wife and I are very pleased with our system for a number of reasons, including: 1) if you do any type of research, the REC solar panels and the Enphase inverters are highly rated in the industry, which meant a lot to us. 2) the installation was extremely professional and was very top-notch. One of the reasons we chose Lumina was they only use their employees for the installation, and it was fantastic. Even the inspector made a comment how clean, neat and orderly the install was. All of the other companies we received bids from contracted out the install to other companies. 3) In my job before I retired I often reviewed and approved contracts. Lumina’s contract was very well done and very comprehensive, and I was impressed as I wanted to be sure everything needed for both parties was covered. 4) An additional reason we selected Lumina was the extended warranty offered from 25 to 30 years for a very reasonable sum. As I am 70 plus years old I am not concerned about the additional length of time, but the warranty will pay at no cost to us to remove and re-install the solar panels if we ever need to replace the roof due to hail, wind, etc., using Lumina Roofing. Gabriel Shabtai was our Solar Consultant and did a good job of explaining solar and the company and was great getting us through signing the contract. However, we were concerned that we didn’t hear much from him once we signed our contract, and we wished that he would have informed us of the backlog of installations Lumina had to complete as it took from July when we signed the contract to early January for the installation. Much of that was likely due to the rush Lumina was experiencing to meet the IRS tax rate expiration date.

Tim Vu | Gaithersburg, Maryland | 10/13/2025

Didnt fix the leak

Had a leak under our solar panels with heavy rain. A roofer came out and could repair leak but solar panels would need to be removed in the meantime. Explained to Gabe with Lumina the situation and he assured me his techs could fix while taking off the panels. Without any heavy rains things seem ok. Then leaking started again. Gabe had 2 guys come out and claimed the leak came from the fascia near the gutter. Our roofer said that was impossible because the leak was too far in and saw the problem. Now Lumina claims they do not do residental properties even though they took my payment. Looks like I will have to sue with small claims court to get my money back since they did not complete what they claimed to do.

Can't say enough good things about Lumina

I chose Lumina after years of trying to find a reliable solar installer that could really educate me on the county/state/federal taxes, grants, solar credits sales, loans, energy company coordination/inspection, etc. Their representative walked me thru it all and continues to this day to support any questions I have after a year of having my panels in. I would have done it years ago if I had been able to find a solar company that was down to earth and supportive enough to trust with this large purchase. Can't say enough good things about Lumina.

I recently had a 10 kW residential rooftop solar system installed and the experience with the team was excellent. They explained the whole process clearly, handled permits, and completed the installation smoothly. The crew was professional and kept everything clean. The system has been running great and I’m already seeing a noticeable reduction in my electricity bills. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone considering switching to solar.

Solar System Installed!

First, I am a very detailed minded and technical person. I did a lot of research on solar systems before even getting to the quote process. Once I was ready I started getting quotes on solar systems for my house. The prices ranged by quite a large amount, the technology used also varied a good bit, a lot were focused on Tesla systems which I personally did not want as I think the tech is older and not as good as some of the newer technology being offered. So what made me go with Lumina... I would say first and foremost, the initial experience, their willingness to work "with" me and not against me, they listened to what I was looking for and accommodated my requests for newer or different components. A lot of places were locked into selling you on one system, wouldn't allow changes etc. Second, I worked with Gabriel and he was amazing in helping to get all my "tech" questions answered. If there is one thing I appreciate, it's being able to get into the details with someone and really see if they know what they are talking about. He was always fast to respond, even late at night or even some weekends. We did have to change a few things from the original quote after inspection. I couldn't get all the panels I thought I could, but it was just a limit of my house, Lumina worked with me to help me through all of that though. Overall, great support and communication, Thank You Gabriel!!! Last, I will say, be ready for this process to take some time, from the time I first talked to Lumina to the time I got PTO from my power company to turn things on, it was at least 5 months, granted this was at a time when the credits were ending at the end of 2025 and work rolled over into 2026. But the actual install was done in 1 day which was crazy fast! But they did a great job from what I can tell :). Then there was the waiting for inspections and the power company had to install a new meter.. just normal stuff everyone has to deal with that takes time, not Lumina's fault. This isn't a negative or anything just a heads up to people.. So to wrap things up, 100% would recommend working with Lumina, great sales people, great tech's, great support!! Keep up the good work!

Lumina Solar shines!

I had been thinking about getting solar panels for years. In 2025 I learned that the federal tax credit for solar panels was ending, so I decided to attend a Solar Brokers of Maryland dinner presentation and ended up working with Lumina Solar, via Solar Brokers, to get panels. Lumina Solar handled all of the administrative details (permission, filing for tax breaks and other incentives, as well as planning and installing the solar panels. The team at Lumina Solar was very professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Federal tax breaks are ending as of 2026, but if you're still interested in getting solar panels, Solar Brokers of Maryland and Lumina Solar are a great starting point.

Great experience with Lumina! My rep, Christopher, was fantastic — he helped design the perfect solar system for my home and explained everything clearly. The installation and activation went smoothly, and the system has performed exactly as promised. Highly recommend!

Amazing Service with a product to match

Before getting Solar, I was worried about how much of a chore it might be to get - but when I found Lumina, they handled EVERYTHING. The breakdown I got before accepting was comprehensive and laid out what I could expect over the next 30 years. The vast improvements in the tech, my options for panel layout and the savings I was looking at were IMMENSE. I'm especially grateful for the help of my rep Kurt Bradshaw, he was always helpful, knowledgeable and able to address all my problems and clarify all my questions. -If you're looking for Solar, these guys have it down to a SCIENCE.

My wife and I decided we should look into purchasing solar panels for our home. After interviewing different companies, we decided to move forward with Lumina. Our sales person, Ryan Cook, was a pleasure to work with and explained the process every step of the way. He was always available to answer our questions no matter how complex or simple the question. Every step of the process was clearly explained to us by Ryan and Lumina. The process played out exactly as it was explained so there were no surprises. The Lumina team that installed our system were great and worked hard and efficiently to make the installation smooth. The County inspections went exactly as described Ryan and occurred even faster than we expected. We are already saving money on electricity and with rising rates, we expect our saving will continue to grow. Everytime I look at my electric bill I just smile knowing that my wife and I made a great choice, picked a great company with Lumina, and received great customer service from Ryan Cook.

Great customer service

Very happy with my experience with Lumina Solar. My representative, Gabriel Shabtai, clearly explained all the options when I was first exploring getting a solar system installed, and I never felt pressured to sign up. Once I did, everyone involved with my project kept me updated as to timelines and what to expect. There were many occasions when I had questions and I felt very comfortable reaching out to Gabriel numerous times. Although I mostly emailed my questions, Gabriel took the time to call me to make sure I fully understood. I've had my system running for a month and haven't had any issues, but feel confident that if something would arise it would be handled promptly. I would definitely recommend Lumina Solar.

Outstanding service

Our experience with Lumina Solar has been outstanding from the first introductory meeting to the time we started solar production. Our Sales Representative, Courtney, made a thorough presentation and was very knowledgeable about price savings calculations. She also kept us informed during the 90 day approval process. Installation took one day and went without issues. We are very happy with Lumina and have recommended the Company to our friends.
