great customer service

I was referred to Eric at Solar Energy World by my 2 neighbors who were installed about a year ago.... The entire process stayed on schedule and every time I had a question for Eric he was quick on the reply. It made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Just turned the system on a month ago but the monitoring is really cool to look at and is already producing higher than expectations even during a relatively moderate solar month. Looking forward to being 100% electric self sufficient... Highly recommend Eric and Solar Energy World...

Great Team Work

I have been impressed with everyone I have deal with at Solar Energy World. I was especially impressed with the team (Charley, Dave and company) that installed the panels. First of all the morning temperature was 15 degrees and I was expecting an early call asking to reschedule but the team was outside the house, waiting in their trucks before the scheduled time. They worked steadily and efficiently. They explained everything they were doing. A very nice group of guys.

Smooth process

From order through install, everything has been exceptionally smooth. The installers were able to install 41 panels in only 2 days, and were very professional and accommodating. They wore masks in the home as we had requested, and cleaned up after themselves very well. Jeff Nachman was our sales representative, and everything he promised was delivered upon. I honestly did not think the install timeframe he gave would be hit, due to seeing all of the supply chain issues, and the shortage of skilled labor. We have had a lot of work done on our house in the last year, so I was prepared to be let down. Not only did they hit his estimated timeframe, but they even beat it by a week or two. I cannot sing the praises of Jeff’s approach and Solar Energy World’s follow through enough. We highly recommend them.

Great experience dealing with Solar Energy World

our 5.59kw panels from 10 years earlier from Tesla weren't proving to be enough and so I was looking for additional panels. Tesla wont' let me use SREC which was a must and so I started shopping. Solar Energy world turned out to be the best options available.

EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE

This company definitely knows the definition of Customer Service. 1) My rep is very responsive; even when I send him text messages in the evening due to some questions that I had about the system. He also never seems to get tired of answering my questions. 2) The customer service scheduling rep made sure I knew about the scheduling changes by calling me even after she emailed me the information. I was glad because I hadn't read my email, yet. 3) The installers were very professional. They even vacuumed up where they made a mess by drilling into the panel. When I lost electricity in my office, they were very quick to resolve the issue. I will definitely recommend this company to my friends and family.

Professional, Timely, Responsive

Solar Energy World installed solar panels on our roof in December. Every encounter was professional, curteous, knowledgeable, prompt. When we first met with John Crill, he walked us through our options and answered all our questions. Then once we initiated the contract process, he walked us through the contract, set up the financing options, the MEA grant, etc. When the day came for the installers to install the panels, they arrived on time and worked all day installing our panels and electrical setup for the 1 1/2 days of the job and returned later with the remaining critter guard left to be installed. Inspection, connection with the utility, all were handled by solar energy world and all has gone smoothly.

Quality Build and Responsive Service

Our first encounter was with our consultant, Paul Antoshak, who was both knowledgeable and professional. With his support, and the team at Solar Energy World, we successfully navigated the various administrative gates (including our HOA) to begin the actual work. Our installation is a 16 kWp system with 15 kW backup battery. The online app allows us to monitor our system's performance, and provides the information necessary to report our generation numbers to SOL Systems to recieve our SREC payments. In short, we are very happy customers.

Smooth Process

Solar Energy World was very professional, with excellent communication throughout the whole process. From the initial Zoom meeting where Jay Randall explained all of our different options, to the installation, to the final inspection, we have felt confident that everything was professional and completed to the highest standards. Knowing that Solar Energy World is a local company gives us confidence that they will be there to support us for a long time. We initially reached out to a national solar company that was unaware of local building code changes that had occurred in our county that Solar Energy World already knew about and was able to incorporate into our design. I highly recommend Solar Energy World.

Great Service Start to Finish

I put Solar Energy World on my list of companies to contact because they are one of the larger and experienced installers in the area. I selected them for the project because of the quality of their proposal and straightforward approach by Jeff Nachman their representative. From the start, Jeff listened to my intentions and proposed two alternative systems, both at competitive prices. He was up front about scheduling and possible delays. In the end, the system was installed within a few weeks of the promised date. The installers seemed to enjoy their work and left the worksite clean at the end of each day. The panels are now producing electricity, and we are waiting for sunny days and low electric bills.

Great experience with Solar Energy World

I found Solar Energy World through my county's solar program, and have already recommended them to my neighbors. The sales process was informative, and the warranty is very good. I felt confident in the design after engineers came out to look at my roof - because of my unusual roof they actually had to cut a hole in the ceiling (which they patched and painted) to check some things. Installation went very well: the crew was polite and kept the worksite clean, and were happy to explain to me what they were doing. I was also glad to see them consistently use safety gear on the roof. Now that the system is turned on, I enjoy using the website to monitor energy production.

Excellent work done by Solar Energy World.

There were some issues related to the work to be done. Sales specialist and coordinator of the project, Pete Barnes, resolved the problems by consulting with specialists at Solar Energy World and effectively communicating with me. He is to be commended for keeping me informed throughout the planning and construction process and responding to my concerns and inquiries in a timely fashion. He certainly left the impression that he cared beyond the basic job requirements. The construction crew was outstanding, checking in with me every morning during the installation days and keeping me informed along every step of the way. They could not have been more helpful and accommodating and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves. I judge the quality of the work done to be nothing short of excellent.

Friendly, step-by-step, detailed service

Our sales rep, Pete Barnes, clearly knew about the system and the process, was very friendly and attentive, and was available (at all times) whenever we had any questions. He articulated all of the details to us prior to us making a decision on getting the system. He then was with us every step of the way to ensure that everything went on without any issues and that we are on well informed of what is going to happen next. The system was installed in December of 2021. From day one (after inspections were complete and the system was turned on) we have started to generate power. Even in December we were around 30% energy independence. Given that we are heavily working/schooling from home - multiple rooms, multiple laptops, and entertainment devices on - I was pleasantly surprised to see that. It will be a while to see the impact on the bills, probably around summer, but perfectly happy with the purchase and the service from Solar Energy World.

Happy I Went Solar

I have been very pleased with Solar Energy World. I researched and got quotes from several solar companies. I went with Solar Energy World because of its 30 year triple platinum warranty that covers the panels, inverters, and all service related issues. Everyone that I have interacted with has been a pleasure to work with. Solar Energy World has a dedicated resource for each step in the process, and I was always notified and kept updated by the person handling each step. I always felt confident that everything was being handled quickly and efficiently. My sales rep Eric Winkler has been in constant communication through the entire process and has always made sure that my questions were quickly answered. I highly recommend reaching out to him if you are considering going solar and have any questions. He will take care of you.

When we were looking to invest in solar panels we came across several companies, only one company stood out. Solar Energy World took the time to explain everything the we had questions on, the scheduling was on point, and the install was done in a very timely manner. From the beginning to the end we received nothing but the best in service. I recommend this company to anyone looking onto going solar.

Excellent product and quality. Professionally installed, tip top professionalism from start to finish. SEW handled every administrative step as much as possible, with as little to do for myself as I could imagine. Highly recommend! They are busy and it took some time to install, but I imagine that is because of the quality product and service.

Two systems installed by S.E.W

I had researched multiple vendors before finally deciding to go with S.E.W. My first install was a ground mount consisting of 42 panels in my rear yard. I was so pleased with the installation and performance of the system that when I needed more capacity due to some changes I made to my home I went with them for the second system. The second system was a smaller roof mount on my garage and S.E.W took the time to achieve the pattern and look I was going for considering this system was directly on the front of my home. During the course of operation I had one optimizer fail and solar energy world came out and replaced it completely under warranty. I am very pleased with both systems!

Worth the wait!

I talked to at least five different companies as part of installing solar. Everyone I talked to wanted to sell me different systems and made conflicting claims, ranging from an 8kW system covering 120% of my power needs to needing a 15kW system to cover 95%. Pete Barnes was incredibly patient with me and helped me understand how he came to his numbers. His numbers have been right on, and some of the other quotes would have been off by more than 40%! Once I was able to figure out what I really needed, Solar Energy World had very competitive pricing - and was the only company that set out an honest timeline. Several claimed I'd be generating power within a month, but that is impossible with my utility. The actual install was done in under two days. The crew did excellent and neat work, especially the electrician. I would highly recommend them. Generation started after the peak season, but it took until December before my daily use was higher than my daily generation. I'm very happy! I had an inverter die and it was replaced quickly.

Assessment of solar installation: excellent job!

Both sales and technical staff have been a pleasure to work with. All questions over the course of the installation were answered promptly and competently. Our sales rep., James Nasraty, is a credit to your company. Zachary and Abe, the electricians on the job, displayed a ready knowledge of their tasks and the technology behind their work.
