Very Professional

The install team was very professional. When the latest storm was approaching, even though FPL had not authorized our operation Solar Energy World sent someone out to assist us in getting operational. We were very glad to have the system operational during the power outage.

10 out of 10 highly recommend

From the very first meeting with Ben Harlow, to the installation crew and electrician showing up, this company is top notch. Communication throughout every stop of this process with Ben has been easy and all questions answered. The installation crew and electricians finished ahead of schedule, neat, and professional. They communicated with me throughout the entire process.

Seamless Solar Installation with Outstanding Service

We recently had a solar system installed, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish, thanks in large part to our Energy Advisor, Jeff Nachman. Jeff’s extensive knowledge and expertise as a project manager made the entire process seamless and stress-free. From our first meeting, he took the time to understand our goals and provided a thorough education on solar options. He explained everything in clear terms, from the system components to the various federal, state, and county benefits, warranties, and expected outcomes. The contracts and paperwork he provided were detailed and easy to understand, covering every aspect from start to finish. The installation of both the panels and batteries was completed on schedule, with the crews working efficiently and leaving our property in great condition. The entire project passed inspections without a hitch. Jeff and his team also handled all the necessary paperwork, including filing for net metering with the electric company, applying for state energy rebates, county tax credits, and registering the system for SRECs. They took care of the complexities of these processes, ensuring that we were never overwhelmed, and kept us in the loop by sending everything over for our review and signatures. Whenever we had questions, Jeff was just a quick text away and consistently responded promptly. We’ve been able to track our system’s performance using online and mobile apps, and we’re incredibly pleased with the results and the service we received. This company, and Jeff in particular, made our transition to solar an easy and rewarding experience, and we highly recommend them to anyone considering solar power for their home.

K Cresswell, Your glowing review has put a smile on our faces! We are happy to hear that Jeff's expertise helped make your experience seamless and we will be sure to extend the kudos.

100% Recommend this Company and our Salesperson Nicholas Schnell

From the initial quote to the final stages this was a 5 Star job. Nicholas was very easy to understand and we had a very clear picture of what the System would do for Us. Nicholas answered all of our questions and we felt no pressure at all to sign anything until we felt we were ready. We asked a lot of questions and he had answers to all of them. We had gotten several quotes prior but there was no doubt in our minds that Solar Energy World was the company to contract with. After signing, the install process was explained to Us and we were updated along the way. Installation went smoothly. The technician's were professional , maintained timelines and communicated well. We have had many contractors work for Us over the years and we consider Solar Energy World truly one of the Best ~ Bravo !

Damien was amazing and hands on thru the full process. We hit a few hiccups on the homeowners end and Damien just kept right with us helping where he could. His response time was unbelievable sometimes within minutes. Even when there was a gap in timing from when the panels were fully installed, and the electrical company finally turned them on. He and his crew were right there making sure we were, happy with everything. I cannot say enough positive remarks about Damien‘s job well done and the company he works for.

Smooth installation and excellent communication

Our system from Solar Energy World has been up and running for five months now and we are extremely happy with the system. We have not had to buy any energy from the grid in March and I feel that we got excellent value for money. Along the way, each step was explained clearly and there was ample communication about the process and how things were progressing. Even when we had to delay our installation due to some chimney repairs, they were very accommodating. From the sales visit to well after the system installation Daren Weatherby is still a reliable point of contact who I can pepper with my silly questions and requests. The system looks great and has been generating at or above the levels we were told during the initial design/planning phases. Overall, we are very happy and I have recommended Solar Energy World to anyone who is interested in solar.

Phenomenal Organization and Service

I installed my first solar photovoltaic system in Wisconsin in 2007. I thought things went well with that company. My experience with Solar Energy World left the other guys in the dust. From the initial visit, through permitting, installation and inspections, every person I encountered in this company, whether in person, via email or by phone demonstrated the ability to organize, prioritize, and communicate clearly. Throughout the process I received quick responses to my questions and any concerns I raised. Rafe's dedication to making sure that I was comfortable with the system, and that I was happy with the appearance of the various devices (straight, level, visually pleasing...yes, I am "fussy") was most appreciated. Jon's dedicated response to my concerns with how things looked on the roof (hey...I'm old...I'm not getting up there) was also most appreciated. And John Yi, who patiently answered questions and shared information on Span panels (Yes! Someone who understands that I geek out on this stuff!) was singularly the best sales person I've encountered. He freely shared information without being the least bit pushy, and he coped well with the fact that we made some adjustments after the initial contract was signed. Would I recommend someone contract with them for solar? Most definitely. The fact that I didn't need to "nag" anybody through the process was refreshing to say the least. The staff know what they need to do, it's spelled out clearly in the contract, and you're kept in the loop throughout the entire process. Sit back and relax...they do their jobs with a smile and a pleasant voice.

I am very pleased with the service and professionalism exhibited by all of the people at Solar Energy World. I chose this company over two other bids. One was lower, one was higher. Neither offered one phone number to call, for any reason, during the 30-year warranty. The 4.0kW, Q-Cell panels and number of panels used were a positive middle range with better performance, than the other bids. Although I am waiting for the final inspections and am anxious to see how well this array will provide me with better energy for myself, my neighbors, and our neighborhood.

Stellar solar panel system installation on my townhome

As a long term owner of my townhome I wanted to pursue the option of installing photovoltaic panels on the roof to provide solar power for my electricity consumption. As I contacted a half dozen companies to inquire about this project, I was surprised at the wide variety of experiences and responses I received, from "our company does not install solar panels on townhomes" to "hold on while I check with my manager to see if I can get you a lower quote" to my online meeting with Jeff Nachman of Solar Energy World, who clearly explained the concept, benefits and complete process of solar panel installation, from the design of the appropriate size system to permitting, installation, inspection and ultimately approval to turn on the system for operation with connection to the local power grid. Jeff provided clear and concise information and answers to my questions and was available through the entire process to explain where the project status stood. The site inspector, office staff and especially the installation crew from Solar Energy World were all extremely efficient, courteous and professional in performing the important work to make this project a total success for me!

Everything about the experience was top notch, from sales representative to scheduling and work crews. We especially appreciate the company’s sales rep Scott Grams, who was factual and low-key in his approach—no sales pressure. He has been consistently helpful with comprehensive responses to anything we asked, including computer assisted schematics and calculations. He shepherded the project from beginning to end so that everything went smoothly for us. He even came to our home and turned the system on for us while we were away on vacation so we would capture every bit of sunshine as soon as it was operational with BGE. And finally, he has filed application on our behalf for tax credits and another cash benefit. I don’t think I’ve ever had a sales or construction experience as good as this one.
