Renewable Energy Corporation

So very pleased with our experience

Thank you Andrew Clarke and the whole team at REC for making it so painless to go solar. From the initial meeting in my living room, which required essential knowledge and incredible patience, to the last time Andrew was on the phone talking me through turning on my system for the first time, the people at REC are Pro-fession-AL! I'd recommend them 100% any time! Do it, you won't be sorry you went with REC!

SOLAR HOME RUN!

So, you think you want to go solar? Here’s why you should first look into “Renewable Energy Corporation” (REC) based in Timonium, MD. When I first contacted them I knew nothing about solar systems. REC sent a representative to my home, and after a quick review of our premises were able to present us with several roof array options. We had a choice between a basic 12 panel (3 kw array), or the one we chose, an 18 panel (5 kw array) which was the maximum panels this roof would accommodate after applying county rules & regulations. REC also prepared the required net-meter interconnection application to our electric company. The prepping didn’t stop there, REC also wired our electric panel and handled all the county inspections allowing the SolarEdge inverter connection. Keep in mind, every county & electric company has different rules & regulations that must be followed, REC knows what they are. Every tax break and rebate we were entitled to was made aware to us along with the guidance of how and where to apply for them. Our experience with REC was excellent and we extend our sincere thanks to Andrew, William and Sherri for all their help.

Brightening My Day

We received a huge electric bill. Decided to look into solar systems to lower our bill. I Googled solar system installers and found about 5. Two were like dealing with used car salesman, very pushy and really not quite professional. The last appointment we had was with Rob from Renewable Energy Corporation. He was very nice and not pushy at all. He proposed a smaller system than the others had. Fewer higher quality panels less cost for the same production. As with any project there are hiccups. The team at Renewable have been very responsive to any and all questions/concerns we have had. After signing the contract and prior to installation I had a few concerns about the system, cold feet. I asked to correspond via Email rather than just phone calls. I was Emailed by Sherrie, the Operations Manager, she was prompt with replies and informative. SHe was also very calming. The folks that came to our home were prompt and courteous. The work was completed on time and looks seamless. We are very pleased with the overall appearance of our new solar system. The local inspection was scheduled and past with no issues. Renewable sent an Electrician out for the inspection. Andrew is out final contact person to get the system going and finalize all the paperwork. He is very pleasant to deal with and quickly resolved a few issues we had. Overall every person we have dealt with at Renewable Energy Corporation has been some of the nicest folks you want to meet. We are very pleased with both the produce and service they provide. Oh one other small point. We live a good distance from their offices they have been on time for everything they did at our home.

Great Service

Great company, Team were terrific removing and reinstalling panels after getting new roof done. Team was courteous, respectful and very friendly. After reinstalling they came back to check and make sure everything was ok. I would highly recommend them!

Satisfied Customer

Renewable was very informative as to all the details involved in the Solar Panel installation. They were also very helpful in guiding me through all the steps that I had to follow to get approval from the utility company and the permits needed. They also guided me through the process I needed to follow for obtaining tax rebates from the state of Maryland (which was more complicated than federal rebates). I couldn't be happier with their service.

Battery Back-up!

In 2016, I bought my first solar energy system from Renewable Energy Corp. As we decided about what company we wanted to use and what type of system we wanted to get, we learned that when grid power is lost, a home with solar panels will still lose power. Therefore we researched back-up battery systems. We also decided that we did not want to lease our system, we wanted to purchase it. Purchasing a system meant that we were able to gain the tax credits for our system, upgrade it as we wished and did not have to worry about decisions to sell our home. Renewable Energy Corporation was the best decision we could have made for our solar system. They came to our home and gave us real feedback on the strengths and limitations of our location. They did not try to oversell their product to us. We didn’t have to sign any agreement or contract in order to get a price quote. The quote was true to value and they worked a few different options so that we could consider how much we could afford and ways in which to upgrade over time as needed or wanted. When you purchase solar, ABSOLUTELY get the battery back-up system. I had lived in my home for 16 years and only had one major power outage during a hurricane, so I didn’t think that it was a huge necessity. But, I chose to do the back-up because I have a family and I wanted the peace of mind. The first year we had solar, a snow plow took down the wires less than a quarter mile from our house. Power was out over night (about 9 hours) in a snow storm. The battery system automatically switched the house over with no power disruption (I don’t even have to reset my clocks). My family stayed warm and had the water we needed due to our solar battery back-up. In August of 2017 a tornado blew through our community taking out power for 22 hours. Again, we were able to save our refrigerated foods and have water and keep our sump pump going when our neighbors lost power. Renewable Energy Corp has continued to follow-up with us on how our system is working and we have needed no maintenance, nor had any problems since installation. This summer we opted to maximize our roof space with more panels and again the salesmen and installation crews were extremely professional, friendly and helpful. I recommend this company as highly as possible.

We recently got our 6Kw solar system installed by Renewable Energy Corporation after moving to Maryland. We had solar system in our home in California which it was totally worth it, great investment and saved us a lot. Renewable Energy Corporation offered and gave us a high quality product at a great price. The entire process was smooth and friendly. The installation was done in one day and they helped us with all the paperwork for the state and federal incentives. I definitely recommend Renewable Energy Corporation over any other company.

Great company, great product and exclellent service

We just got our 6 kW system installed in June. The staff at Renewable Energy Corporation were very helpful and professional. They made the process easy and helped us with all the paperwork for the HOA, county permits, different rebates, net meter installation and SREC account. They installed the system in just one day and the technician made sure that I was 100 % satisfied with the installation. The entire system is well engineered and the panels are some of the most efficient in the industry and have a great warranty, as well as their labor. If you want to go solar I definitely recommend Renewable Energy Corporation.

Solar Panel Installation(s) - 2014 & 2016

Renewable Energy Corporation was recommended to us by a friend. We chose to buy our solar panels. Our first installation was 12 panels (3kW) - 2014. Our second installation was 8 panels (2KW) - 2016. All of our interactions with employees of Renewable Energy were professional (salesman, installers, office staff). The panels were installed in a timely fashion and met the requirements of our home owners association guidelines. We chose the panels because of their efficiency, power output, and each panel had mini-inverters (vs. a single inverter).

Great service

Renewable Energy Corporation installed 58 panels in August 2015. Renewable completed the whole permitting process and installed the panels. Very professional during this process. Had some delay from Pepco in upgrading and connecting to the Smart Meter. My electric bills were reduced by more than 2/3 since that time. The microinverters reported production problems on 16 of the panels and Renewable identified the problem and repaired it promptly.

Expanded Solar Capability

I had my first solar panels installed in 2013. This year I need to replace my roof. I thought it would be a good time to increase the number of solar panels from 8 to 16. It turned out that Renewable Energy Corporation was able to install a new roof as well as increase the size of the solar installation. The current installation included a solar powered attic fan.

Satisfied Customer

We have had our solar panels for one year. So far we have seen some savings. The only complaint we have was in the consultation. The county my wife and I live in as a part of investing into solar energy agreed to pay residences up to $5000 in tax credits. REC used this information as apart of there pitch to get our buy in. What the company did not verify/know was the county used up all of the available funds. We received a letter from the county stating funds would not be available until such time. REC needs to stay on top of changes in the different counties they service.

Outstanding Customer Service

I was a little nervous in June of 2015 when I made the decision to get solar panels but after working with the Renewable Energy Corporation Team I know this was the best decision I could have made. Their customer service is amazing. They were always available to answer any questions and I never had any problem reaching a real person (no recording) when I called. I recommend using them you won't be disappointed.

Renewable Energy

My experience with Renewable Energy was excellent. They are knowledgeable, skilled and professional. They did not attempt to oversell us on what we needed and addressed all of our questions and concerns. Their estimate for the amount of energy we would save has been exceeded. After installation, we had several minor issues, which were dealt with immediately. The installers were all pleasant and polite. The back office staff was awesome!

Repeat customers

We have been very pleased with Renewable Energy Corporation. So much so we are repeat customers. The customer service and thoroughness has made this a very easy expieriance. I highly recommend them.

Love My Solar

We are fairly new customers, but love everything about our new solar panels so far - and renewable has been wonderful! They made the installation so easy, have walked us through questions we've had since - and the paperwork they provided on our behalf! We have only been up and running for a little over a month, and thanks to them providing the paperwork (all we had to do was review and sign!), we've already received one of our 'rebate' checks. They have been great to do business with - I would recommend in a heartbeat.

I decided to buy solar panels for two reasons; first, I wanted to support clean Renewable Energy. In addition to solar panels, I also own an electric car and I am trying to reduce my carbon footprint. Second, I wanted to reduce my monthly living expenses. My son used Renewable Energy and I know he did a lot of research before he picked a company. I decided to follow in his footsteps. I was very happy that I did. They are a great company. First, they did a full ROI and assessment to make sure it made sense for my house. They examined my electric bill and did studies on my roof to determine where I can have the best result. In addition, Renewable Energy uses all American made panels, warranties it for 25 years and most importantly, their system has inverters on the roof to provide the most efficient conversion from DC to AC. I would not want to use a company where you don’t own the panels, then I am just buying electric from them instead of the electric company. They scheduled an install for me, and showed up on time with a whole crew to do the work. When it came time for the county inspection, they sent someone to my house who sat in their car most of the day to wait for the inspector. They wanted to make sure the job was right. In addition, the prefilled most of the paperwork (they can’t sign for me) for my Maryland Grant, my Baltimore County Grant, the paperwork needed for a net meter and to get setup for SRECs. When the net meter was installed, I did have an issue, but they came out the next day and took care of it. I measure a company by how well they do when everything is not perfect. I am now generating my own electric, reducing my monthly bills. I am even charging my car off of clean energy. In addition, shortly, I should be able to sell SRECs which will also reduce my monthly expenses. I highly recommend Renewable Energy. They make the process easy, do a quality job with quality material and make sure you get all of the grants and rebates that you are eligible for.

Excellent customer service!

My wife and I had been considering having solar panels installed on our house for a couple of years. Fortunately, we found out about Renewable Energy Corporation at an information booth during our local Independence Day fair. From the initial salesperson visit through the actual system start up, every step in the process couldn't have gone more smoothly. Everyone, from the office staff (much kudos to Amanda) to the engineering and design team, to the installers and electricians, were very professional and courteous. We can't say enough good things about the entire process and can highly recommend Renewable Energy Corp. to anyone who's considering efficient, U.S. manufactured solar energy for their home or business. Also, the cost of solar was even more affordable than we imagined, when the MD Energy Grant and County and Federal tax credits are factored in! Harry and Patricia Meise Dundalk, MD

Great Solar Company

We had an amazing experience with Renewable Energy Corporation. Met with the Salesman who provided us with valuable facts and information regarding residential solar systems. Quick turn around from the sale to the installation. Installers were timely, courteous and respectful of our property and ideas regarding installation. They also provided us with important information about the system and answered questions in an manner which was easily understood.

solar

i did not have much to do with the instasllers but they did a great job, the one that i did meet was very helpful and informative, the company kept me informed on bge and meter changes

Amazing company

What I like the most about this company is that their customer service is amazing and the installation of the solar panels was extremely fast.

The best in solar panels

what can I say, Renewable Energy corporation 2 thumbs up!! My wife and I were looking into saving money on electric and to go green doing it. We decided to check into solar panels for the house. We contacted Renewable energy about the solar panels and they sent out a rep to talk to us. After the meeting it was a no Brainerd for us to switch. During the whole process they made everything so easy for us. They did all the paper work and got the permits. We just sat back and signed a couple papers a d that was it. If I had to do it all over again Renewable Energy will be my first and only call I make. If you are thinking a out getting solar panels call Renewable Energy you won't regret it!!!

Happy to have Solar in Balitmore!

I like to share my good experience with having Solar Panel on the roof of my home about a month or so. The rep came to my home explain in everyday language having solar panels and selling the electric power back to BGE. They were very helpful with all the paperwork to be filled out to get the Maryland local and state grants. Any time I had a question they were there. When it was time for the final inspection the Rep came out and waited about hour until BGE came. I would recommend that you give Renewable Energy call to see how they can help you! Linda B.

Solar Panels

Renewable has been professional throughout the installation of our panels. The panels were installed in a timely manner in the time frame promised. My husband and I were given a thorough education about solar panels and the pros and coms of purchasing rather than renting. We were able to talk with other Renewable customers about their experience. And since installation they have been supportive and helpful

Worst Rip off EVER!!!

Renewable Energy Corporation over-charged us! They said that by us agreeing to allow others to view our installation ,they would cut the price almost by half. Even with that, and the tax credits, it turns out we almost paid double what other companies sell their panels for. As far as PEPCO cutting us a check at the end of each year because we would be generating more energy than we could use... we have NEVER EVER EVER received a check from PEPCO! And I am still paying off the loan for the installation, and this has cost us way more then it was worth, and we have yet to re-coop any benefits or saving from our panels!!!! DO NOT USE RENEWABLE ENERGY CORPORATION IN MARYLAND FOR SOLAR. THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF.
