Very Happy Customer!!

I have tried a few times to get into Solar and had trouble with other companies in the past. When I started working with Solar Energy World I didn’t get my hopes up in the beginning, but the entire process was so smooth. Everyone was so knowledgeable and made sure I understood everything every step of the way. The whole process from initial interest to having the panels installed was also faster than expected. They have also kept contact after the panels have been turned on to make sure everything is okay. I’m happy that I completed this process with this company and anyone looking to have solar panels on their home needs to choose Solar Energy!

Good experience

They've been good to work with, and kept the installation and permitting process on time. A few panels had performance issues, but they resolved them in a timely way. They were confused about dominion powers rules to make the final permanent connection-for a month or so i was waiting for dominion to do it, but eventually an electrician from SEW did it. Despite this I got online as scheduled. I'd recommend them for sure.

Response from Solar Energy World

Dear Jeff, Thank you for your thoughtful review and for sharing your experience with Solar Energy World. We’re delighted to hear that you found the installation and permitting process efficient and on schedule.

Longi Solar Panels and Tesla Powerwall 3 Installation

I recently had an 11.7 kW solar panel system installed, featuring Longi Panels paired with a Tesla Powerwall 3 battery, and the entire experience was outstanding despite several significant challenges. The installation process was complicated by unexpected harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and freezing temperatures, as well as some structural complexities. One particularly tricky aspect involved feeding wiring cables through an existing conduit under the garage, from the exterior wall to the circuit box in the basement. This required precision and expertise, and Vince and Pedro executed it flawlessly. Scott, the Field Energy Advisor, played a vital role in ensuring the project progressed smoothly. He kept me informed at every stage and coordinated scheduling efficiently, ensuring clear communication with the installers. His proactive approach made the process much less stressful. The roof work was nothing short of impressive. The installers worked fearlessly on a steep roof over 30 feet off the ground, expertly placing all panels exactly as planned. Their attention to detail was exceptional, and they made the correct call on panel direction, ensuring an optimal balance between grid energy and battery storage. Despite the challenges, SolarEnergy delivered a flawless system that is already exceeding my expectations. The Longi Panels and Tesla Powerwall 3 are a fantastic combination, and I’m confident they will provide long-term energy savings and sustainability. I wholeheartedly recommend SolarEnergy for anyone considering a solar installation. Their expertise, communication, and commitment to quality set them apart.

Professional communications, installation and support

It has been a pleasure working with David Bishins, SEW’s Field Energy Adviser, and the entire Solar Energy World team for our recent solar installation. Dave worked closely with us to design, revise and specify our system as well as thoroughly answer all of our questions. His highly knowledgeable and pleasant demeanor made the entire process of learning about solar energy operations and requirements rewarding. SEW efficiently handled all Montgomery County and PEPCO permit applications, provided all of the details needed for our HOA application, and coordinated County and PEPCO inspections. They also handled the SREC application for Maryland at the end of the project. Installation took a single day and went smoothly. Every member of the crew performed their job well, and the crew chief provided documentation/photos and complete instructions on starting and operating the system when the final inspection was compiled and PEPCO permission to operate was received. The only delay in the entire project was the relatively long time it took PEPCO to schedule the final inspection. We highly recommend Solar Energy World.

Very Professional

We went through Arlington County's Solar Switch program. We got to Solar Energy World out of that. We felt we got a good price, good advice, and professional installation. The process was fairly quick and Solar Energy World moved it along all the way. Our roof was old. Solar Energy World also gave us a new roof at what seemed like a reasonable cost. We also bought a battery. (This was out idea--Solar Energy World did not push us on this.) That seemed to be a lot of work to install. The person who installed it was very professional. Solar Energy World appeared to be a solid firm. I would recommend them highly.

Knowledgeable and friendly team. Great company to work with

We had a great experience working with Solar Energy World. Our rep Austin was knowledgeable and helped explain the process when we first reached out. He was very patient with us as we shopped around different vendors before ultimately choosing SEW. A key factor that led us to choose Solar Energy World was working with a local vendor that wasn't going to sub-contract out the work. This was the right choice as the team they sent out to do the installation was an incredibly hard-working group of individuals. I was also impressed with the level of detail in documenting every aspect of the installation. They handled so much paperwork behind the scenes for the HOA, local permits, SREC application, etc Overall, great experience and would recommend them

Response from Solar Energy World

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear that your experience with Solar Energy World was a positive one.

Because of Zack's professional approach and the manor, he answered all our questions we decided to go ahead with the project. When the day came to install the solar panels, the crew was very polite. They explained and reviewed to us what and how the system was to be installed and then proceeded.

Outstanding work for solar panel installation

I have followed the call of Montgomery County, Department of Environmental Protection for potential energy bill reduction with solar panel and found the Solar Energy World Sales Representative Andy in late June 2024. He has been very instructive, knowledgeable, and patient in explaining the entire procedure for solar panel installation and potential incentives. While the company did an excellent work for inspection of the roof, applications for all approvals, and actual installation of 15 panels (in one day) in August, it took some waiting time till the local energy company to switch the meter and allow for the operation. Overall, I am very satisfied with the work done by the company as it offers 15 years of workman warranty and 25 years of product warranty, particularly by Andy. Now I am enjoying the solar energy together with the good app called ENPHASS that allows for the checking of daily energy in kwh production.
