We had a great experience with Solar Energy World. The price was reasonable and the work was done on schedule. Travis really kept up with communication and answered questions whenever they came up. Now that the system is active I love looking at the app to see the energy we’re producing!

Very Happy with the service / Groveland FL

First of all, Travis Kent has great charisma and an excellent ability to explain the process in detail. From the initial presentation, everything he promised, he delivered. I personally gave him and his company a bit of a hard time because we were under a very tight timeline to make everything happen before December 31st. Despite that, Travis was always available, always had answers for us, and his team was extremely accommodating and efficient at every step of the process. I truly appreciate all of your efforts, Travis. I wish you continued success in your business because it’s clear that you genuinely care about the people you serve. Thank you so much! Sincerely, Carolina Rosillo

Numerous Problems

Typical big company, bureaucratic and slow. (BTW - They are a wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast Corporation which may explain something.) Before you sign they are very responsive but after you sign and they have you under contract they are not. Verbal promises mean nothing - something I forgot. I was told all installations got a "critter guard" but not mine since it wasn't in the contract. They made a big deal about the site survey and obtaining the engineering drawings for the barn so that they would design a code compliant system and be prepared for the install. But on the day of the install they came without the correct mounting hardware for the rails or expansion tubes for the electrical conduit so that wasted most of that day. Once they started the actual work, they drilled five "extra" holes in the house and barn and realized they were in the wrong spot. I think that's pretty poor workmanship. After the installation, they wasted about a month because they didn't a tech available to meet the township inspectors instead of simply leaving the permits. Then once inspected and they received the township approval, it took nearly more two weeks for them to submit the form letter to the electric company for PTO. More wasted time. Their portal seems like it might be helpful and they promise a quick response but that doesn't happen and you won't get a copy of your request unless you take a screenshot. Very unprofessional. Just recently, I got the PTO notice and since being powered-on one of the house's arc fault breaker has tripped 6 times. That's clearly more than a coincident since in the prior 4 years since the house was built that breaker never tripped. I've just called this in along with a problem with the Enphase gateway meter. So I'll need to see how they fix this problem. If you choose this company, good luck. I feel like these guys are like the aluminum siding salesman from years ago.

Complete install with Battery

The whole process was seamless from start to finish. My sales associate Nava Wasser patiently took me through the process of going from an idea to an installed system. I looked at 5 other companies over a month long period and kept coming back to Soler Energy World. Ms. Wasser even helped to explain terms in other people’s quotes that were often confusing and left me searching the internet for a solution. The surveys and installation went without a hitch and each time when new representatives from Solar Energy World arrived they were courteous and explained clearly what was going to happen at each visit. I cannot praise the company enough and my system is working well. I would recommend this company and especially my associate Nava Wasser to anyone considering Solar for their house.

Thanks Solar Energy World

Travis Kent, our Field Energy Advisor from Solar Energy World did an amazing job with my roof and solar installations. He kept an open line of communication on the status of this whole process and made sure we understood everything that was going on, needless to say we had a lot of questions. Travis and the entire Solar Energy World team went above and beyond to help get the job completed before the end of the year!

Nava is the Best

My residential solar installation was seamless from beginning to end. From the solar quote, to having each step of the installation process being clearly outlined and tracked, as well as all fielding all of my questions throughout which were answered quickly and comprehensively by my advisor, Nava. Additionally, the solar panel installation team was professional, efficient, and best of all completed in just a couple of hours. This is certainly a complex process overall but SolarEnergyWorld made it as simple as possible. I highly recommend anyone looking for solar to use SolarEnergyWorld.

Can’t Deliver on Promises.

We placed an order for solar panels and dual battery installation in July with a promise from their salesman that their competitors could not match. He promised they had the equipment in their inventory and sufficient staff that they could guarantee installation and operational by the end of the year to take advantage of the expiring solar tax credits. Since then we have only received notes to be patient. First, yes they would get it down before the end of the year. Then, notice that everything ready for install but they are prioritizing customers who do not have batteries. That was in early December. Now, the salesman is telling us they have no updates except it will now be another 45 or more days before they do the install. Meanwhile, we have paid enormous electric bills for the winter. Moral of the story? Do not sign a contract that does not bind them to an install date. I can only hope their product is better than their customer service and their ability to deliver in their promises.

Response from Solar Energy World

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry for the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused, especially given the importance of timing around installation and tax credit eligibility. We understand how disappointing delays can be, particularly when expectations were set differently during the sales process. While installation timelines can sometimes be impacted by factors such as supply availability, permitting, or scheduling complexities—especially for battery systems—that does not lessen how this experience has affected you. Your feedback about communication and timeline clarity is important to us and will be shared internally so we can continue to improve. We would very much appreciate the opportunity to review your specific project and see how we can further assist. Please reach out to us directly at info@solarenergyworld.com with your name and project details so a member of our team can follow up with you personally. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We value your trust and hope we can work toward a better resolution. Best regards, Solar Energy World

Great Experience with Solar Energy World

From soup to nuts I couldn't be any happier. I had researched several other companies and then reached out to Solar Energy World. Their initial proposal seemed better than the others and I decided to meet with Steve Fulginiti, one of their Field Energy Advisors. He explained the design process, pricing, energy expectations, etc. in great detail. I was kept abreast throughout the permitting process and then installation was scheduled, 2 months ahead of what was anticipated. The crew, led by Antoine and Josh were stellar. It was scheduled to be a 2 day install. They completed the entire installation in 1 day! Antoine went over EVERY detail with me before they started. He wanted to ensure that I understood everything they would be doing and also that I was good with it. As a retired construction superintendent, I would've hired these guys in a heartbeat. They worked efficiently, happily and cleaned up afterward like they were never here. Personality goes a long way for me and everyone I have dealt with have been nothing but friendly and knowledgeable.

No respect for timelines

This company is quick to go to contract and unwilling to stick to timelines. I just wanted to add a battery backup and it took 6 months for it to be operational. My salesman seemed annoyed with my questions about timelines and wanted to place blame on me for switching from financing with SEW to my own financing (a 3 day delay at most). Additionally the team at SEW screwed up the paperwork several times with our power company. The product is fine… the installation crew was GREAT… but I do NOT appreciate being treated like a pain for making a significant investment.

Great Solar experience

Brent @ Solar Energy World made the process easy. We started the process in late August, designed in September, SEW handled all the permitting and electric company paperwork. System was installed in late October and I received PTO on December 31st. The entire team from Sales, engineering, installers, project manager worked like a well tuned machine that had many years of experience. In only one day the 24.7kw system consisting of 61 x 405watt Longi panels with 61 x Enphse IQ8+ microinverters were installed. The panels fit neatly on the roof with connection to the attic under the panel, so there's no externally seen conduit. Choose Solar Energy World for your project!

Solar Energy World installed a solar system on my 4100 sf home when my town had a "join together" event that made it more affordable. I chose to get a system approximately 1/2 the full recommended size, due to cost, and a Tesla battery for backup. I could not be happier with my system. It has over performed from the very first day. I currently am getting approximately 70% of my energy needs from the system, when I was hoping for half, and on sunny days I export more than I use. This includes charging my Tesla car by solar. My bill dropped from $800 a month to about $200 immediately, even before I could sell back energy to Duke energy. I can't wait to see my next bill, now that I am exporting more than I use on many days. I expect my ROI to be much shorter than I had anticipated. From the very first, my sales contact Damien Odle was fantastic. He was very professional, friendly, and had the answers to my questions. He has stayed in touch by text (my preference) throughout the process. If my question required further communication with the installers, he got back to me immediately after finding the answer. Even after the process, he has been available to continue to answer questions about the process and the technology. Absolutely outstanding customer service and seamless installation! I could not be happier with my experience. I love my solar roof! So does the earth and my bank account. Thank you, Solar Energy World and Damien.

Efficient, professional, and detail-oriented

Solar Energy World managed my entire solar installation from design to activation, and overall I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. They handled every step — HOA approval, permitting, installation, inspections, and interconnection — very efficiently, completing the full process faster than I expected. My sales rep, Nick, was fantastic from day one: knowledgeable, patient, and quick to answer every question I had. He made the decision process smooth and transparent, which really stood out compared to other companies I spoke with. The installation team did excellent work as well, especially with conduit routing. They took extra time to plan the layout so that most of the conduit would be concealed and the finished look would blend cleanly with the house. It’s that level of care that makes a difference. Like any large project, there were a few hiccups along the way, but the SEW team followed through and made sure everything was resolved properly. The system is now up and running beautifully, and I feel confident knowing they’ll stand behind their work long-term. Grateful overall for their help and professionalism — I’d strongly recommend Solar Energy World to anyone considering solar.

Good company to work with

Sales, communication, installation all top notch. The sales process was low key, based on options and information. Communication with both sales rep and company were excellent; very responsive. Was kept informed every step of the way of what was happening, what was next, and when it would happen. Installation went smoothly, approvals happened quickly, and system is up and running. Couldn't ask for a smoother process throughout.

The absolute worst company to communicate with

System was installed after weeks of trying to get questions answered about submitted permit plan that was incorrect. Never got an answer. The scheduler for installation answered the question although not his job. System installed and crew was professional. Did good work except one small mishap knocking hole in the ceiling. One of the Powerwall 3 was DOA. I have been trying for weeks to get an answer on when the system would be functional. I emailed, sent messages on the portal, spoke with salesman never got an answer. I offered to pay solar panel portion of bill, but not the battery portion because 50% does not work. They keep invoicing me, saying its past due. No one will answer and give updates. Finally talked to National service line. Hopefully something will happen. The Florida division does not answer any communication.

Sell the dream, service the nightmare

*I'm in Virginia, but it's the Laurel, Maryland team we've been dealing with, as far as I know.* Sales team: Five stars. Permitting team: Five stars. Installation team and general project management: Zero stars. No organization, no warning before visits, no following instructions about when to show up, understaffed and overworked teams without the capabilities to do the job well and on time. First installation crew left trash everywhere, sloppy metal cuts on the scratched up roof skirt, couldn't figure out how to get a ground stake in, so they broke it off and left it, couldn't finish before dark, and there are still random shingles blowing off my roof three weeks later. Second installation crew was one electrician sent to follow up on the above issues, not enough to properly finish the job, left a a couple feet of broken ground stake buried in the yard, and showed up with no notice in the first place, massively disrupting our week. I'm left with a bitter taste on a huge long-term investment, with no escalation points provided by the team, so I'm leaving reviews to see what happens when customer service sees them.
