FANTASTIC!!!

Rarely do I take the time to post reviews but when a company and a salesperson deliver exactly what they promised I think its important. My sales rep Eric and Solar Energy World were over the top professional. They always kept me informed every step of the way. They handled every single aspect of the installation just as they said they would. I really didn't have to lift a finger. When I did have a question Eric responded within minutes. I really had no intention of "going solar" until I met with them. I learned about the company and how the system works. I should have done this years ago. I highly recommend them.

Excellent service from start to finish! The sales consultant was knowledgeable and not at all pushy. All of the people we interacted with from this company were friendly and polite. Any questions I had were answered quickly. I have already recommended them to several people!

New to the Solar World

I just want to say that our salesperson, Jay Randall, is an absolute saint to put up with my incessive questions and coming out to our house on numerous occassions to make sure we were (me really) to help understand what we invested in. We haven't had our system long enough to see the cost savings but, I am on my app everyday looking at how much energy we are bringing in and I get so excited when I see it reach into the 60-70 mark. I also want to say that the installation crew that installed our panels were very friendly and professional.

The folks at Solar Energy World are super helpful and friendly. It takes time from purchase date to install, but the timeline was as they promised. The sales rep, Jay Randall, was always available and straight up. You have access to everyone in the company when there are questions. We frequently talked with CEO Geoff Mirkin and he just as helpful. Even the installation team was friendly, courteous, and professional. They continue to support us and made it clear that we are partners for the next 25 years, at least. It's a nice team to be on. Thank You Solar Energy World!

Why did we wait so long.

We had several solar companies come to our home to present their product. Solar Energy World, without a doubt, had the best sales presentation, and was in fact the most knowledgeable. They listened and tailored their system to our needs. Several of the other companies just kept pushing what they felt we should have. The sales rep was personable and made us feel very comfortable in making our decision to go with Solar Energy World. We gave them a 4 for being on schedule, only because Delmarva Power kept holding up the final paper work. We would recommend Solar Energy World to anyone.

8.3 KWh Residentail SunPower PV Installation

Jack Bolel was by far the most knowledgeable representative of the four solar installation company representatives I talked with before choosing Solar Energy World (SEW). The presentation and estimation tools he had were far superior. He agreed to all my requests for contract language changes to address installation schedule contingencies, and worked with my equipment selection and configuration ideas to arrive at the most cost-effective solar installation configuration for my house. Being able to contact existing SEW customers in my area to review their experiences was an important factor in my decision to choose SEW. The SEW installation team were all professional and courteous master craftspeople. The only glitches encountered involved Montgomery County electrical inspection and PEPCO net-meter installation scheduling, which together delayed solar system operation by over 6 weeks. The included home energy audit was very helpful. I highly recommend SEW for PV Solar installations.

Free energy

I have had my system for just over 3 years now, and it is performing beautifully. Thank you Solar Energy World, a free 12500 kWh every year. My only gripe... why didn't you make me do this sooner!

Solar panels

Solar energy world is an excellent company, we are very satisfied with their service & installation. From the sales rep Mr Dan Myers to office staff, especially Sherice Johnson are highly professional & courteous people. My calls were returned within minutes. Installation was smooth & on time with utmost professionalism, very impressive. Dan Myers was very helpful & supportive, he personally delivered the system manual once the system was activated. Sherice Johnson helped a lot with her professional service, she was extremely patient with me. I'll highly recommend this company.

Natalie's review

LOVE Solar Energy World! Researched lots of companies and we are very happy that we went with Solar Energy World. They were great from start to finish - and with any questions we had after that. We had our solar panels installed in Dec. 2013 and have been enjoying LOW electric bills - and our SREC checks! Basically not paying anything for our electric. Highly recommend Solar Energy World. They know what they are doing. 5 stars!

Preston MD

System was purchased in October 2013 and due to various delays didn't come online till March 2014. Most delays were weather related so hard to blame SEW for that. In the end, we ended up with higher output panels than we purchased, but this benefit is probably offset by the extra credit score dings required as the financing expired and had to be reapplied for. Aside from this, the system works better than advertised. Although SEW submitted all the paperwork for SREC's, GATS has to have state registration and that process is slow. Installers were really nice guys and gladly answered all questions and explained things very well.

Home Owner

Solar Energy World - one word - "Easy!" We meet first with another solar vendor. Their equipment leasing cost and usage contract didn't add up. Our next find was Solar Energy World - after our initial meeting - we "wrote" the check. Solar Energy World's presentation and financial projections were straight forward. We were also given systems options - such as panel type. Our purchase experience continued to be handled beyond our expectations. At every phase - all of our multiple questions were answered. And to our suprise - after our install - we received a comprehensive notebook - complete of all relevant contracts and system information - very nice.

My Solar Panels after 2 years

We definitely are happy with our solar panels and with Solar Energy World for installing this great system. We had a 6.5 kw 28 panel ground installation done and it is producing as expected. Fed and State reimbursements/credits came in as forecast, although still waiting for county tax part to kick in as we are on a waiting list. Summer months are very small bills under $40. Winter is a drop off as expected, usually under $100 a month in real cold months and if we do not use our wood stove to keep the heat pump off. Solar Energy World knows what they are doing and we are very happy with the results.

A Plus for Solar Energy World!

Our experience with Solar Energy World in setting up solar panels on our home and garage has been a positive experience. From the initial meeting through the installation and continuing service all of Solar Energy's World's personnel have been friendly, competent, and responsive. Especially helpful was getting us through the bureaucratic ups and downs of rebates, tax credits, and SREC contacts for continuing monitoring and sale of vouchers. Our only complaint has been corporate refusal to purchase the complete monitoring system as part of the original package to help compare usage to production and thus better help us conserve energy. We've kept our friends and neighbors informed and several have become part of the Solar Energy World family. June&Harold Confer

Great job on PV System in Rockville, MD

We had our Sunpower Solar Electric PV system - 9.2KW (40 modules using Sunpower 230 pannels) installed by Solar Energy World. They did a wonderful job. They were very professional and the system works great. They helped us navigate with the local electric utility which confused our paperwork with another customer with the same name. We also appreciated that they did not try to sell us a service policy, stating that with our kind of roof we didn't need it, but if we insisted they would be happy to take our money.

Overall a great experience

Working with Solar Energy World was a great experience. Pat O'Brien was our sales representative and he gave my husband and me a clear and full big picture idea without being pushy and with lots of patience to answer all of our questions. Solar Energy World took care of all the permits and inspections but towards the end of the process I believe there was a change in office managers and I had to follow up with them a few times to have issues resolved with the SREC Brokerage firm to make sure the SREC account could be set-up properly. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommend using Solar Energy World for your solar conversion.

A Job Well Done

Solar Energy World installed our system very quickly form start to finish. They did very good work and our system is up and running smoothly. We really enjoy using the online recording application, you can check how your system is operating and set up graphs for the weekly, monthly, and yearly production. If you or someone you know is interested in making the responsible change to clean renewable energy you need to go with a company you can trust and I trust this company.
