Solar Energy World

Great Installation and Service

I always wanted solar panels on our home, but never received clear information which had me thinking that it was just another bill until Mr. Frink patiently explained the entire process. My husband and I are very thankful for Mr. Frink, because of him we now have the Solar Energy World Panels. Mr. Jacques Frink is an outstanding salesperson, and very knowledgeable concerning Solar Energy World. He kept in touch with us every step of the installation process. He answered all our questions without hesitation. The Solar Energy World team was very friendly, and did a wonderful job. I will most definitely tell my family, friends and neighbors about Mr. Jacques Frink and Solar Energy World.

Outstanding commitment for excellence

Outstanding commitment for excellence! They have the best warranty, price, very very knowledgeable staff at all levels! They have their own cruise, this is a very important note. They arrived when they said they would they did the job very professionally keeping me informed for the day it took them to do the install and hook up. My power bill is zero and I am exporting every day to Duke money in the bank. Joanie kept me up-to-date as the progress of my job site was approaching. I consider this very important the communication was excellent! I am referring anyone that’ll hear me about my experience with Solar Energy World I carry around my power bill to show them! A five star company all the way around.

Simply the Best! Better call Pete Barnes

We decided to add solar panels to our house. We researched and took multiple proposals and quotes. We selected Solar Energy World and they are awesome! Make sure you ask for Pete Barnes - Pete is extremely knowledgeable, extremely responsive, and the type of honest straight-shooter you wish everyone in sales would be. We explained the high priority we place on aesthetics, so in addition to a very efficient, cost-effective system, we needed it to look great and not detract from the appearance of our house. We also needed the install to be high quality, and leave all surfaces looking pristine. Solar Energy World delivered! Their pricing was extremely competitive - literally only dollars more than the lowest bid. We chose a 12.21 kW system using Made in the USA Silfab panels with Enphase microinverters. Solar Energy World offers many different size and brand panels and will ensure you get the first tier quality in whichever you choose. More importantly, they will listen to you and design the best possible system based on your criteria and your location. The HOA filings, the system design, system install, inspections and local electric company Authority to Operate could not have gone any more pleasantly, efficiently and smoothly. Solar Energy World walked us through every phase, answered every question and supervised to make everything come off without a hitch. The install crew were consummate professionals - knew what they were doing, did it excellently, and proud of their workmanship. Left the job site as clean and clear as they found it. And Pete was our central Point of Contact from start to successful finish. In our first full month of operation, our system generated 1.3 MWh. Choose to go solar. And if you do, don't make a mistake - call Pete and hire Solar Energy World. You'll be glad you did!

360 degree expert support from start to finish!

We were fortunate that the County of Fairfax, Virginia had previously qualified Solar Energy World through its "SolarWise" Program. That meant huge time savings weeding out the long list of companies offering up solar energy systems to our community. First impression was terrific. Our representative, Pete Barnes, clearly demonstrated his subject matter expertise in helping us to understand that our home was a suitable place to install a system. He handled a series Q&A emails and phone calls with us. Mutual trust was established. We knew we were dealing with a reputable professional backed up by an established company. A local homeowner, and client of a previous installation, also provided a validation. We had one obstacle to overcome after our contract was signed. Solar Energy Worlds site survey inspection revealed a roof problem that needed to be addressed. That had the potential to sidetrack our solar project, but Pete and Solar Energy World were patient as we collected a series of roof replacement estimates and, eventually, a full roof replacement including all new 1/2 plywood under the shingles. At that point, is was a "go" to move out on the solar project. Solar Energy World's design was impressive -- very detailed. Pete Barnes handled our questions during this stage as well. We approved the design without changes. Local permits and equipment/materials were procured. Emily Connell, Solar Energy World's project manager, took over from there and kept us informed every step of the way as to installation scheduling and what to expect during the actual installation. Cannoli, Solar Energy World's lead installation tech, arrived as scheduled assisted by his team of installers. This team was driven! They knocked out the installation at break speed. Cannoli returned the next business day to finish the programming task that would eventually set up the monitoring tool. Next from Solar Energy World was Erica Shafer. She managed the relationship with Dominion Energy to have our 52 year-old VEPCO installed analog meter with a new IDR net metering device. That tasked closed within two weeks. The meter was swapped out and Dominion Energy had notified her of our approval to operate (ATO) and start producing our own electricity. That was exciting. While we were waiting on the ATO, Jeff Provini of Solar Energy World reached out to share information about setting up our solar system monitoring via Enphase Enlighten. The instructions were straight forward and the monitoring is very useful in understanding the solar system's performance. Of course, Pete Barnes was a "Cc" in most all of this email correspondence as his team members were executing their tasks. He called to check in after our system went online just to see if we had any additional questions and to explain what post-installation tasks were remaining one of which, was actually filing, on our behalf, the personal property tax local tax (County of Fairfax) credit application. What service! What an impressive team of professionals at each position!

Working with Solar Energy World was a pleasurable experience from start to finish. Our sales representative, Jeff Nachman was professional and very knowledgeable. The installation crew was professional and produced high quality work. The system performs wonderfully and has offset our electricity bill by 82% over the past year.

Excellent from start to finish

Sean was my sales rep and let me tell you, after speaking with (no exaggeration) a dozen or more solar companies, Sean and solar energy world were by far the best. Best prices, best warranties, best communication throughout the process. Everything was nothing short of exceptional. I could not recommend Sean and solar energy world more.

New system review

My system was recently installed. We had a minor electronic issue that delayed activation and ultimately caused a power outage. I called Paul my sales representative, he immediately contacted service. Within 40 minutes Brandon arrived, resolved the issues and had my system operating. The following day Brandon returned and reviewed the system operation and explained the detailed monitoring system. He took his time and answered all my question. Paul, my salesman, Brandon the system technician as well as the panel and electrical installers were polite efficient and great to work with. The system is more sophisticated than I expected and is operating beyond my expectations.

Amazing experience with solar installation

I was reluctant to install solar on my house because I was concerned about the appearance and the cost. My wife convinced me to check it out, and from there on, the whole process was a breeze. A slow breeze, since my only gripe was how long it took, but that was not the installer's fault. Solar Energy World and the analyst they assigned to me, Daren Weatherby, were outstanding. They guided me every step of the way, kept me fully informed of what was going to happen next, and did a terrific job in the end. I even like the way it looks, and my electric bill dropped to nothing. I could not recommend SEW more highly. In fact, I've told my neighbors to go with them if they choose solar. Kudos all around!

We first contacted Solar Energy World about 2 years ago, before we moved to the home we are now in. We were researching solar panels and once we moved to the house we had built in Littlestown, PA, we knew which company we wanted to install our solar system. Our salesman, Seth Tobin, has been super. He has helped us every step of the way and when we could not get information from our electric company, or whenever we wanted answers to a host of questions, Seth was never too busy to take time and assist us. Everyone from planning to installation to follow up has been great wo work with. The installers were excellent. They did the job quickly and did not leave any mess behind. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Solar Energy World to anyone looking to install a solar panel system.

Going solar

We were very happy with the entire process of going solar with Solar Energy World. Liam did a great job explaining the panels efficiency compared to our other estimates. Liam is responsible for us choosing this company. Installation went flawless with Dave and Brian leading the installers. Everyone involved did a great job. Shannon was always there helping to keep the process going. Today will be the final inspection and we can’t wait to get our system up and running. We started the process March 31, and hopefully it will start producing by August. This is the schedule we expected and it looks like everything is on track to meet the time frame. We would highly recommend Solar Energy World to anyone considering going solar.

I was pleased with Solar Energy World. My salesman, Jeff Nachman, is very knowledgeable about solar energy and answered all my questions. The installation team did an excellent job. I am recommending Solar Energy World to my friends who are considering solar.

John Batuyios

Dealing with sales people could be difficult as the majority of the time they only care about their benefits; HOWEVER; John Batuyios is an amazing and outstanding professional. From day one he made my project like his project, or that is how I felt! So prompt on responses, always working on solutions. He was so easy to contact! Even after panels being stalled and properly working, he kept in touch to follow up. He walked with me on all phases of the process. I highly recoment John Batuyios

Solar

Excellent job! Everything went smooth from Sales with Jeff Nachman to installation. Can’t wait to continue using these panels for a long time.

5 Stars across the board

From end-to-end (sales through installation through after-sales support) it has been a pleasure to work with Solar Energy World. Jeff Nachman (sales) is very knowledgeable, delivered an accurate quote, and has been happy to answer any questions quickly after the sale. The installation crew was professional and fast. The permitting process proceeded without issue. The system performs flawlessly, and the utility bill has been zero for the six of seven months the system has been in operation.

Great team to work with. Job was done on time and they handled everything end to end.

Very professional and stayed in contact throughout and after the entire process from consultation to power company final approval and the flipping of the switch

Great solar experience

We are very happy with our experience with Solar Energy World, all the way from the sales process through the installation, and beyond. Every person I have interacted with has been friendly and knowledgeable. Our system has been running smoothly for over a year, and it has greatly offset our power bills.

Home installation - solar panels

Worked with Daren and his team to get solar panels installed at home in Virginia. Process was straightforward, although it took several months to get all the permits and approvals done. But the work was done quickly and efficiently, and we are very pleased with the results so far. nbc

Our overall experience was good. We were not provided with the panels we initially signed up for and the reason for that I don’t understand. I was told it had something to do with the voltage and our house couldn’t handle it. The time frame took longer to install than mentioned, and getting the final approval to turn on also took quite a bit, however that is more of a utility issue. The installation itself, however, was a breeze. They said it would take about three days and they were right on point. I have to give props to our sales person, Alex. I have interviewed numerous sales people from different companies. In many instances the sales person was very pushy and one of them I had to kick out of our house. Alex was very informative and knowledgeable, and you could tell he didn’t just want to make a quick buck. He let us take our time and would follow up maybe once every week or two.

Excellent service, love my array!

Solar Energy World was outstanding. The panels look great and install was quick. Customer service was top notch. Jeff Nachman, was excellent to work with. He was always available to answer questions, great with regular communication, and explained everything very clearly. The installers werehard working, friendly, and very considerate of our property. If I had to do it again, there's no doubt I'd stick with SEW.

Jeff was very professional

I received a combination deal- roof installation and solar, and I only dealt with Jeff. The only issues (minor) involved the roof instillation and I was worried that I would have to deal with the roof installers separately since they were essentially a separate company. Jeff represented my interests with the roof installers and ensured that all of the issues were addressed. There were no problems with the solar installation and the system covers all of my electrical needs with some to spare. I don't write reviews very often, but I was very impressed with his professionalism and attention to customer service.

Great experience

Having decided to finally pull the trigger on something I've wanted to do for 3 years meant finding the right company. One of the aspects I valued about solar energy world was I had the same point of contact from the sale to the installation completion. Anything I needed or any questions I had I could ask Darren and I usually had a response the same day. I'm extremely technically proficient and have an electronics background, so I had a lot of questions with a substantial level of difficulty, but he always got me an answer. Only downside was by the time I pulled the trigger, supply chain shortages had creeped up and what had originally been a 90 day process turned into 9 months. Everything was handled professionally and proficiently and now my summer energy bill has reduced more than 200 from the previous years.

Great install, quick updates, even filed tax paperwork for us

Jeff was great! Jeff kept us informed throughout the process and answered all my technical questions regarding power, generation, SRECs and payment options. The install team was flawless and experienced. And the support team kept us informed throughout the process as to when we'd be able to turn our system on and they even helped us submit for our tax incentives. The whole process was great, start to finish!

Perfect Fit

I researched many solar energy companies and decided that Solar Energy World provided the best product at the best price for my needs. Daren Weatherby was always helpful in walking me through a somewhat complicated process, answering all my questions so I could understand. Everything went smoothly and as planned. I am very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Solar Energy World and Daren Weatherby to anyone interested in fighting climate change.

Awesome service with Solar Energy World

I had the pleasure of ordering solar panels and system from Solar Energy World. I also asked that my panels not be made in China and preferred ones made in the US if possible. I did get ones from Singapore, so happy about that. The team that came and installed the system was very professional, non-intrusive and clean. They were fun and funny and I had a good time working with them. Unfortunately, they picked the hottest days of the year to come to my house, but they took it all in stride.
