Solar Energy World

Excellent service from Nick-

Nick Briggs is awesome! How can I describe the great insights, explanations and impressive responses and clarity he provides as i make decision to go solar on my property. I can't ask for anything more! Nick is the best!

Top notch experience

Solar Energy World managed every detail of my installation meticulously from beginning to end. Jacques was our Field Energy Advisor: he was available, communicative, and proactive throughout the process. The financing steps were totally painless. The home office's design, permitting, and scheduling teams were very efficient and effective. Everyone from the roof inspector to the installation team (Rodney, Kevin, John, Sedrick, Raph, and Kevin) were on-time, communicative, personable, professional, and extremely competent. The physical installation looks clean and professional and passed county inspection on the first attempt. The time from first contact to system activation was significantly faster than I expected. Anyone looking for residential solar in Virginia should definitely contact Solar Energy World!

Super Excited

Thanks to Tom Shaw for all his help and the Crew of installers. they were quick clean and did a fantastic job of making the huge solar panels look seamless and not an eyesore. i forget that they are even there now all the while thinking of the savings we will achieve now that they are on.

Highly recommended

I highly recommend Solar Energy World! The folks there are kind, good-natured, and communicative. They patiently provided clarity regarding terms and processes that were new to us. Installation proceeded very smoothly. 5 stars unreservedly -- many thanks, folks!

Professional and assisted throughout the process

Great service and installation

I Recently jumped into the world of renewable energy and it was an eye opener. I did my research and it was still difficult to find a company that had longevity and was not a fly by night organization. This company helped me from start to finish including financing and although at times the communication stream seemed lax I was still very impressed with the final outcomes and the stages of the process. I knew going in to be patient as there were multiple steps and processes involved so I was and I am just over joyed with the level of service that I received and the product including the quick and efficient installation and planning.

Excellent Company!

Solar Energy World was an excellent company to work with from the beginning. They were very prompt in answering any questions we had before we signed with them, and continued to be the same after obtaining our business. The team of people in the office always kept us informed on next steps, and ushered through all the paperwork, approvals, and inspections that needed to happen. The installers were wonderful - very professional, courteous, clean, and friendly. Everything was completed in a timely manner. We highly recommend Solar Energy World to anyone thinking about going solar. It was painless.

Going Green

From our initial meeting with our sales rep.(Seth) to final installation everything was well managed by the Solar Energy team. Information and timeline was detailed and communication was excellent throughout the process. They managed all the interactions with the county for permitting, power company for meter replacement, and prepared the HOA document packet for submission and kept us regularly informed. I will highly recommend Solar Energy to anyone looking to go solar.

Excellent service, amazing sales rep, great product and price

The purchase and install experience from Solar Energy World (SEW) and my sales rep Kevin Morrow were top notch. Information was detailed and communication was excellent throughout the process. SEW managed all the interactions with the county, power company, and HOA and kept me regularly informed. Schedules were kept and design & install crews were very professional. Equipment is great and made in America. Kevin was always available to talk and clarify questions, via email, text, phone, whatever. He was able to educate me on all aspects of solar and the system SEW sells and installs. Kevin could expertly talk about all the rules, regulations, and other financial breaks of owning Solar in VA. He even handled the process superbly well while I was on an extended vacation out of state. SEW was also able to replace my roof and at an amazing price bundled with the solar system. SEW is the type of company that really focuses on customer service and satisfaction and that makes it easy to recommend to anyone who may be considering purchase a solar system in VA, MD, or D.C. This system is brand new so I can't comment on post install quality or support, but given my experience with SEW so far, I don't expect any issues as I get through year one and the rest of the life of the system.

Going Sunny

I had finally made the decision to go solar. So I called SolarEnergyWorld and was given Seth Tobin as my sales representative. When he came out he walked me through everything and took the time to explain whatever I did not understand. When I decided to finally sign on the dotted line it was time to set up the installation. The team that came to my house was very professional and took the time to clean up around and in the house where they were working. They also explained what they needed to do and what was happening as I heard the hammers and drills working. I have been pleased with the process and the constant reaching out after the installation of my panels.

Easiest decision I’ve ever made - that saves me $1000s!!

Tom was so knowledgeable and helpful- before, during, and even after my solar panels were installed. I can’t imagine the process being any easier or feeling more comfortable with my choice to go solar with Solar Energy World. Now I just have to figure out when to spend all of this money I’m saving on! Lol

Outstanding Experience from Start to Finish

I want to relay that my wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Solar Energy World to get our system installed and online. Form start to finish, our project lead and sales rep, Pete Barnes provided knowledgeable, responsive, and quality service. It was the right combination of understanding the engineering/technical aspects, the financial/economics, and then just good old fashioned project management-A rare combination. When we had questions, he answered them. When we had doubts or second thoughts, he gently addressed our concerns that gave us peace of mind. All of these things transmitted a sense of care and concern that is the way a company should operate. With regard to the install team, the electricians, the team leads, the panel installers and crew were also top notch. They took care of our house and treated it with they same care they might give to there on home. Really took the time to make sure things looked right in addition to working right. At the end, they explained everything to us and the next steps in the process which was quickly followed up by a call from our project lead Pete Barnes. Appreciate all of your help during the install process. Looking forward to years of savings.

Stress-Free and Informative Process!

I recently went solar on my first home I purchased, and although hesitant at first, I could not have been happier with the outcome. I was constantly supported and kept informed by my sales representative. Anything that was of concern to me or unknown to me was elaborated upon in the greatest detail but in a manner that was easy to follow. I was given directions and "things to expect" practically every step of the way so that I was not hit from any blind spots, and I still get periodic check-ins after several months of my system being installed. I strongly encourage Solar Energy World to anyone considering solar energy for their home!

Just Getting Started! So far its been Great!

Seth our sales rep is great. He walked us through the whole process. And yes it is a process. After a few back and forths, we decided on a design. They handled all the permitting. Our original installation date was pushed back due to the weather. Wow, these guys work HARD! Darielle and his teammate like sherpas carried all the installation material including the panels over 2 days to our roof. The electricians Garrette and Will worked inside our HOT attack getting everything connected. They went above and beyond my expectations, with the clean way they ran the electrical conduit, and installed the additional panel boxes both inside and outside, very professional. Now we are finishing up a few odds and ends, then the inspection, then the new net metering by the power company, Then we get to turn it on!!

Great experience from start to finish

The team was great at every step. Helping understand options through financing & finally installation- everything went seamlessly to plan.

Smooth Installation and Setup

After initiating the process in May with Seth Tobin, we had an easy experience setting up the financing and planning the install. This was despite one section of roof not existing in the overhead photos available from online map services; we had just built it. In September the installation team came for three days. We are having other construction done at the house, which they were expertly able to work around and use to their advantage in some cases (i.e. there were already holes in the wall near our breaker box). Despite all the activity, there were no issues and the team handled it very professionally. We're still waiting on the power company to do its part, but Solar Energy World has done an outstanding job getting us this far.

Seamless solar panel purchase and installation

Our experience to date with Solar Energy World has been excellent. They have helped arrange for the entire process of putting solar on our roof--purchase, installation, inspection, and financing. They have responded punctually, transparently, and clearly to all our queries and have deftly stewarded the entire process. We are excited to have solar in our house and reduce our carbon footprint!

Great System; Great Experience

I spent about six months researching solar before finding out about the Virginia "LEAP" program (a non-profit org that negotiates the best price), the LEAP price that Solar Energy World provided was much better than what I'd personally found, so my wife and I decided to make the plunge. From the initial call with Seth Tobin, to the engineering team and the install team, everyone was very easy to work with and made it clear they cared about my experience and opinion of their team. Since they coordinate solar systems everyday, they were able to take care of the painful details for me (negotiate with my HOA, work with my power company, file for tax incentives). What continues to impress me is that they still treat me well after they've been paid. I definitely recommend Solar Energy World to any homeowner looking for a residential system.

Greate Company

I recomend this company for your solar energy, they are very responsible, they explain you every think and help with all your needs and questions we are very happy with them, the job it is clean and fast thanks

After we replaced our roof last year we decided to go solar. Thankfully I have a friend in Commercial Solar Sector, he specifically recommended Solar Energy World. After talking to Ari Fischel with SEW I understood why. From start to finish the process was a piece of cake. All the forms and paperwork was done by his team. I only had to ensure my cars were not in the driveway the day of the install. I've recommended them to several neighbors and so far 4 additional homes have began the process of having solar install.

Well priced, Excellent Staff, Clean install!

It was a pleasure to work with the staff from Solar Energy World. Whether it was working with the initial engineer on sizing the system to my needs, ensuring I did not oversize the system, to the actual installation, and support after the installation was completed. Whenever I had any questions, all the staff I interacted with was eager to help me, and answer any questions that I had. The price I was quoted is exactly what I ended up paying. It was all around a nice experience. They even completed the install while I was out of country, to ensure it was completed upon my return.

Fast & Friendly Service

The company was transparent with install times, and all workers and employees were beyond kind and courteous. Tom walked me thoroughly through each element of the pricing and install before I made a decision, and wasn't pushy at all. Installation was a breeze! A bush was obstructing the electrical panel that needed work, and instead of just ripping out the bush, the workers trimmed it back so there was the chance it would grow back - and lo and behold it has! Their care and attention to detail is unmatched.

We enjoyed working with Solar Energy World! We were a little rushed in the beginning of the process but that was because we were trying to get in before the Building Code changes in Virginia that would have limited our panel install. Despite the rush, I was able to get multiple quotes and SEW came out cheapest (likely thanks to working with them through Fairfax County’s Solarize program). Our sales rep was Ari and we appreciated that he was attentive, available, and knowledgeable. He was always a text away when we needed (our many) questions answered. The install process went smoothly (took 3 days) and we appreciated the crew’s willingness to wear masks while inside the house since we had a pregnant woman and unvaccinated 3 year old in the house at the time. The crew was very professional and hard working. In addition, when they called to schedule our inspection, I mentioned that I saw a couple labels from the panels stuck in the squirrel cages and they came out the next day to fix it. We were very happy to turn on the system in mid-August. The entire process took from April 30th (signed contract) to August 10th (permission to operate) with most of the delays on the part of permits, approval from the power company, and inspections. So far the panels have been doing great and we’ve enjoyed producing more power than we consume!

Delivered On Everything As Promised

From sales meeting to support everything was smooth.

Go Green! Go Solar!

The whole process was seamless. Nick Briggs is a great rep to work with very knowledgeable and easy to work with!
