Solar Energy World

Great Experience

I have to say up front that this is an expensive undertaking. All the more so, in my case, because I had the roof replaced as well. There are government incentives which help, but I wish there were more. That said, I have had a zero electric bill since the panels were installed three months ago. Once the decision to install solar was made (that was the hard bit) the rest was incredibly easy. From the sales team to the electricians to the panel installers I was impressed by the team's knowledge, efficiency, intelligence and good manners. I highly recommend them. I have absolutely no regrets for having taken this step.

Helping the Earth

The cost of solar energy is higher than currently available fossil fuel energy. Based on the "expected" rise in the cost of fossil fuel energy the increase in cost (monthly) is high. I believe that in the end (20 yrs) I will have paid more for solar than I would have paid for fossil fuel energy. However, the added taxes and line charges for fossil fuel may make the solar worth the expense. So while I am happy with the solar I am still cautious about saying that you will save money in the end.

Great job by a great company!

After interviewing many solar companies, we decided on Solar Energy World. Better options and better pricing sealed it for us. Their installation crew was great.... they explained everything and were very thorough. The whole process from start to finish took a lot less time than expected. We've had the system for a few months now and I've got to say that the savings are real. One of the best decision we every made. We wiuld highly recommend this company.

Very professional company

We spoke to representatives from three solar companies before choosing Solar Energy World. They impressed us with their knowledge of the industry and the equipment they would be installing on our home. Solar Energy world took care of all permits and coordination with Pepco on meter installation. They accommodated a delay in the installation date caused by the need for roof repairs. Overall, I would work with them again and I am happy to recommend them to other people looking to install solar panels.

A very positive experience

My experience with Solar Energy World was very positive. The salesman explained everything clearly. They arranged financing. They designed and installed the system in a matter of weeks. They obtained all permits and submitted requests for inspections and rebates. The installation team was professional and courteous. I'm already saving money on my electric bill. I'm very pleased I went solar and chose Solar Energy World as my provider.

Solar Energy World

Solar Energy World is an awesome investment. They took care of everything. After my site survey, a representative sat down with my wife and I to explain step by step how things would go. The installation team was timely and stayed on scheduled. All I had to do was talk to my one rep about everything and he provided me with an weekly update. I would recommend Solar Energy World to anyone who wants to switch over to clean energy.

As smooth as the panels themselves!

We did our homework and signed with SEW with confidence, and there hasn't been a regret. From start to finish the ONLY hiccup we had was the delay in our "snow breaks" as we will call them, installed. Our snow breaks were discussed at our meeting with our sales rep, but for some reason, they were not installed & we had to have SEW back a few weeks later to take care of it. Other than impatiently waiting to have our system "turned on" by the power company, we've enjoyed knowing that we are being as "green" as we can ever since! Their installation was swift and clean (a HUGE plus for this type-A homeowner). But more importantly, it was that EACH and every person we dealt with from our agent to the installers were as professional as could be & THAT is refreshing! When you look at systems on other homes, I see square footage unencumbered by trees that is NOT maximized. This company structured a layout that gives us all maximum benefit of solar energy!

SOLAR ENERGY REVIEW

From the first meeting to the completion of the project, they were friendly and professional. When hiccups occurred due to the county inspector they made sure to keep me informed and make sure everything went smoothly and efficiently. We are extremely happy with our double digit electric bill! : )

Trustworthy company

I spoke to several companies about solar panels and felt the SEW gave me the best prices with the most options and the best guarantee. The company was great about following up and keeping us in the loop of what was happening. The only issue that arose, involved poor communication between our roofing company and the solar company, which later lead to warranty issues with our new roof. However, SEW followed up immediately and the owners called me to offer a fix at no charge. So despite anything that went wrong, their customer service was excellent.

Solar panels and install

Love my solar system. Great investment and good for the environment. From sale to setup and getting on line was great and a friendly company. Great people. Not a fan of seeing the rail end sticking out. It look to industrial for residential us.

Professional installation

All installers were very professional and spent extra time making sure the system components molded to the outside of my house, additionally, they ensured everything worked well by testing frequently as they were installing. They gave me many options on how I wanted the installation to be completed, this included where to run the conduits connecting the various parts, the placement of the inverter (which could have been inside the basement or on any side of my house), the placement of the panels, etc... They were the only ones to include some simple repairs to parts of my electrical system, and install 5 extra independent outlets throughout the house. The only issue was their timeliness. They took close to 5 months, from signing, to complete the install. They took another two months to deliver the final paperwork, including a warranty. I highly recommend them, just negotiate the timeline and ensure an installation date is on the contract.

SEW 2017

Quite happy. system working well about 4 months since start

Very Happy Customer, Love my Solar system!

I'm glad to have found a local company providing excellent engineering, installation, and customer service. Working with Eric from Solar Energy World has been a pleasure, being able to make contact with the company including the CEO gave me comfort that I was going to get the special treatment I needed! I strongly recommend this firm (and I have tried to deal with the national ones previously).

Good Decision

As the solar panels were not producing until January, 2017, it is a bit premature to know exactly how our bills will be affected in the long run, but thus far, it has been a good decision. I have not seen a $162 electric bill in years. I expect this to continue.

A very responsible and responsive company

Among the three or four five-star solar companies that I approached for panel-installation cost estimates, Solar Energy World (SEW) quickly impressed me as the company to go to. Here are the reasons: After looking at the roofs, the representative of the company, Sean, recommended that we put the panels on the south-facing roof. That was a pleasant surprise to me because all other companies had proposed to put the panels on the larger, west-facing roof. Obviously, the south-facing roof will receive more sun light on average, everything else being equal, and in our case, there would also be no need to relocate some of the roof vents. Sean next proposed to use the more efficient 310-watt panels; this would reduce the number of panels compared to the more commonly used 285 watt panels for roughly the same total solar power output. And even more important, SEW offered the most attractive price and payment schedule and excellent work and product warranties. Sean also patiently addressed many of my questions and concerns prior to the panel installation. The people who came to inspect and measure the roof were all very helpful in explaining what they were doing and for what purposes. The panel placement design was logical and aesthetic. The folks who did the installation were all very courteous and professional. The wiring was all clean and neat and well hidden. About a month after the installation, I noticed a hole (less than 1 in) on my ceiling. I contacted SEW. Two days later, the hole was patched and painted (I provided the paint). I can’t even tell where the hole was now. The company also handled all the permit applications expeditiously. I am now enjoying solar electricity to help reducing CO2 emissions. Frankly, I can’t be more pleased by going with Solar Energy World, and will have no hesitation in recommending the company to other interested consumers.

Grrat Sunpower install by SolarEnergyWorld

Very easy and no problem all way through, from design to install and power on! Made getting signed up for SRECs a snap. Recommend.

Great Company

This company is great and puts the customers first. They were willing to work with me in any way necesary and it was nice to make face to face contact with a person who is local to the DMV and not just a person on a phone. This company wanted my business and ensured that I received the best deal possible. Installation was done without issue and right now I am electric bill free. You pay a large lump sun but the panels will pay for themselves and more. Highly recommend. If you need proof of purchase or process email me and will refer you to them. I can show you my old and current bill. comeonmain@yahoo.com

Something every home owner should have on the roof!!

I'm in my 4th month of enjoying my new solar system. I'm thrilled to get away from relying on coal and nuclear power that kill our environment and cause global warming. Best part is I'm saving a ton of money at the same time!! Didn't cost me a single penny out of my pocket to get the system installed. Bryan Hacker my Solar Analyst took care of me the whole way through, all I had to do is sign a couple of forms and he did all the work for me. Seamless, excellent great home improvement. My hat comes off to Solar Energy World and all the people who put my system together!!!

7.95kW Solar Install

The installation was excellent. The electrician on the job, Connor, was excellent at explaining all the steps. They ran the conduit along the base of the house and up next to the downspout, and color matched it to the house, to be aesthetically pleasing. Probably one of the best group of contractors I've worked with. I had communications issues in the design phase. We went back and forth on the design, but once we approved it, they submitted incorrect paperwork for the permits and interconnection. This delayed the project by a couple weeks. The issues were not correctly communicated and I felt I had to be more hands on to make sure things were done correctly.

Awesome company

Throughout the entire process Solar Energy World was prompt, courteous and professional and a pleasant surprise compared to other companies I had dealings with. The project went very smooth and quick. I have already recommended Solar Energy World to several friends and family who are in the process of going solar with them as well. Overall I could not be more happy with them as a company.

The Process

All the employees at the Solar Energy World are very helpful. I have worked with one sales rep that is very responsive. I have worked with SEW office personnel and they too are responsive. The problem comes at follow through with the customer. 1. I agreed to solar energy on my home earlier this summer and also bought down the rate to where I was satisfied with the proposal. Then, the SEW model for my home's output of solar energy was changed and the rate increased. Still a good value I decided to accept the company's proposal but it was higher. 2. Next, the tax credit promised by the organization for my particular county was not completed by SEW until I asked for the results. Follow-up thereafter was completed. 3. Finally, once the panels were installed by SEW, the company wanted the monies for the rate buy-down. It was an immediate request since it is stated on the paperwork in the fine print. I was not made aware that it was demanded once the panels were installed. My error was assuming that once the panels were installed they would also be working. Not so fast, there were inspections that should have been immediate since payment for the rate buy-down is required so quickly. The inspections took too damn long and the start up of the system was months after installation. So this process should run smoother or the company should be patient about getting paid until the system is up and WORKING. A summer agreement and installation should be a summer running system. Too long between panel installation and system producing. NOT GOOD.

Great Installer

Solar Eneregy World has been great to work with. They did the installation quickly and professionally and when a component stopped working a few months later they contacted the manufacturer, got a replacement authorized, and did the install in a timely manner.g sled.laolar panels inst I recommend this company if you are thinking about gettin

Boy am I glad we went solar with SEW ...Thank you so much!

Solar Energy World installed my system October 08, 2016. I have been extremely happy in how professional they have been. The process from beginning to end was laid out and followed, always putting us first. I researched this company thoroughly before calling and setting up an appointment with Solar Analyst Bryan. He explained every detail in respect to our options, system size, contract price, Federal, MD State and county tax credits. Boy am I glad we went solar with SEW and Thank you so much. Here it is February and our 6.82 kWp has produced Lifetime Energy: 1.35MWh and Lifetime Revenue of $158.04 to date. This is way better than one of their competitors SC quoted me. I would recommend Solar Energy World whole heartedly. Lastly, I would like to give a shout out to the spectacular crew who put customer satisfaction first, Electricians: Jeremy and Kevin, Installation: Matt & Roger and Inspection Engineer:

Back office doesnt communicate

Did great work upfront! It took too long to get finalized and their communication was very bad. They did my loan 3+months before they installed which not only did they mess up and now refuse to communicate with me, but my 18 month, no payments, loan will be due prior to getting all my income tax back (from energy credit). Again, mistakes happen, but don't expect good communication from them. Avoid this company!
