I knew nothing about solar energy when I bought my house which included rooftop solar panels. I’m thinking about a roof replacement and I’ve had great difficulty locating a solar company willing to entertain the idea of roof replacement to include solar panel removal, and reinstallation. And speaking with Sean I came away far more educated than I ever could’ve guessed. Shawn spent a great deal of time explaining the industry passed and present and exactly what services he could offer. I cannot emphasize strongly enough, just how helpful he was. There is no question in my mind that when the time comes, in the near future, I will be speaking directly with Sean to get the work done. Thank you again, Sean

From the very first call to Renewable Energy Corporation to learn more about the solar system installed on the home I recently purchased, Andrew Clarke was outstanding. Not only did Andrew quickly resolve an electrical grounding issue that had been flagged during the county inspection process, but he also identified and helped correct an issue with the Enphase monitoring gateway that neither I, the home inspector, nor the appraiser had even noticed. Andrew was knowledgeable, responsive, professional, and genuinely committed to making sure everything was right. It's rare these days to find someone who takes that level of ownership and customer care. If my experience is any indication, Renewable Energy Corporation stands behind its work long after the installation is complete. Thank you, Andrew, for the exceptional service. — Dave Obendorfer

Thank you REC from sales to permission to operate! Had a great experience from every point of the process. The system looks amazing and built with my input in mind. I cannot emphasize this enough, with my input in mind. If you're looking for a turn key system that specializes in small 5 panel arrays with room to grow in the future call these people.

I ultimately did not go with Renewable Energy Corporation because my home was outside of their service area. Their priority was providing the best possible service to their customers, and because of the distance, they couldn’t confidently guarantee timely support if needed. I genuinely appreciated that level of honesty and commitment to customer service. Even though I was outside their service area, Sean McNeil, one of the owners, still spent 45 minutes of his Saturday educating me about solar panels and helping me understand potential pitfalls to watch out for while researching the right system for my home. He was knowledgeable, informative, and honest throughout the conversation. I’m grateful for businesses that operate with this kind of integrity and care for people. If you’re considering solar or any other services they provide, I highly recommend Renewable Energy Corporation.

Bright and Sunny Solar experience!

The whole Renewable Energy team was amazing and felt right. High quality service with high quality results and product! The whole process was clear and professional, from the contract to the permit to the install to the completely compiled tax forms and credit package we received a few weeks after the installation was completed! I am very happy with the Enphase micro converters and I am already producing more energy than I consume and it's only been a few months in winter! Thanks to the whole team who made this pv solar dream a real success!

Renewable Energy Corporation was a pleasure to work with. They thoroughly answered our questions and handled the permits, etc. The installers were quick, neat, and cleaned up after themselves. We are now enjoying significantly lower electricity bills and feeling great about our green energy. We highly recommend this company.

Great Company To Work With

I have had great service with Renewable Energy Corporation (REC) since my initial installation in 2013. The staff has always been professional and kind to work with. I just got additional panels installed and everything went well with the installation. I personally like working with Ms. Sherrie Miller for her great customer service, attention to detail, and promptness in getting me the services I require immediately. I recommend REC to anyone interested in getting solar panels in the Washington/Baltimore area.

First Time Solar Buyer

Renewable Energy has been very professional and easy to work with; especially with my job taking me away from home for months at a time. And being the first of my neighborhood I received a very good deal on installation. They've checked in plenty before, during and after installation. And it's comforting to know that I have a second pair of eyes looking over my system to make sure it is running properly. I look forward to working with them in the future for more projects that I plan on adding to my house!

Easy as 1, 2, 3

REC made the entire process smooth and stress free. Communications were clear and prompt. REC coordinated the install date, inspection, SREC paperwork, and soon will have done the tax credit paperwork. The project was stress free. Just switched on the 8 panel, 3kW Q cell G10 system, so we'll see the results soon!

Our New Solar Panels

We had a great experience with getting our solar panels through Renewable Energy Corp. From start to finish we felt very informed about the whole process. We had been thinking about solar for some time now, but it felt overwhelming looking into it with all the companies out there. The whole team at Renewable Energy Corp put us at ease and made sure we felt comfortable and informed about our decision to install solar panels. Ciara Saffer and team held our hand throughout the process. Our panels look great and we are enjoying watching the energy savings roll in!

Solar even in a wooded area

I live in a wooded area and wanted solar as the power goes out often in my neighborhood. Renewable Energy did not reject my home as a solar candidate but offered low light panels. The day after installation was completed our neighborhood lost power. It was really nice to still have lights, microwave, etc.

Professional and Caring

Renewable Energy was the second company I spoke with about solar panels and I was very pleased with each individual I worked with. The consultant was very knowledgeable and the company did all of the research and communication with my energy company and HOA keeping me in the loop the entire time. The process was a little lengthy to be expected but not on the fault of Renewable Energy they were very patient and professional from start to finish. Even with a minor hiccup they fixed the issue in a matter of days. I would recommend Renewable Energy to all my friends, family and neighbors.

Excellent Company, Excellent Experience!

This year we decided to add a solar system to our home, so we contacted Renewable Energy Corp (REC) to get an estimate. Their sales representative came to our home and walked us through the process, technology, products, and services they provide. After surveying our home’s installation site and checked the availability of direct sunlight over the course of a day at our location, they provided an estimate that we accepted for a 6kw system. The installation was then scheduled and took two days to complete. REC did all the engineering work, permitting, lined up the county inspection, power company inspection, which included the installation of a new digital meter. They hooked up our WIFI to the solar panel’s microinverter monitoring system and provided us with a smartphone app that enabled us to monitor the energy we were collecting from the sun, which enabled us to start to see the savings! All went very smoothly and quickly to complete the project. They facilitated the application to SREC and provided a closeout package that included the Maryland state subsidy application (all pre-filled out by REC), and IRS guidance on the federal tax credit process. It was a complete turn-key project from start to finish and we was very pleased that REC did everything for us. The quality of their work was top notch and very thorough. They really made sure that we would be 100% satisfied. I am very happy with REC and their personnel who guided us through the whole project before, during and after installation, which elevated my confidence and trust in them. Overall, it was an excellent experience

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.
