Overview of SolarGaines

You could say that SolarGaines has been almost 30 years in the making. Since the 1980’s President Tom Gaines and his team at the construction/ contracting firm Hencken & Gaines, have built a reputation for doing high quality work, on time, and 0n budget. When lifelong friends and Marylanders Tom Gaines and Hans Wittich started SolarGaines back in 2009, they did so with a passion for improving energy consumption. They knew that solar could provide a cheaper and cleaner experience, so they wanted to create a company that it made it easier for consumers and businesses to adopt it. As local business people serving their own neighbors — all over Maryland, in Virginia, and Washington D.C. — they saw their mission as making solar more affordable and understandable. They wanted to make it easier to acquire and use. SolarGaines experts install systems, but they do a lot more. SolarGaines isn’t trying to be all things to all people. They have just one goal: Making solar the best energy choice for Marylanders, Virginians, Delawareans and Washingtonians.

Solar Panel Installation

My solar panel installation was just completed about 4 weeks ago and I am very pleased with the results and the workmanship during installation. The sales representative (Jim) was outstanding and was very informed about the product and installation details. The install crew (Matt and Lee) were exceptional and completed the install in very unfavorable weather conditions. Overall, this company receives highest ratings for product quality and installation proficiency.

Excellent Company/Excellent Solar System

After getting 3 estimates for Solar Systems my wife and I picked Solar Gaines. We compared each companies systems to one another and we got a better system for less money than the other 2 companies. Their sales rep Colin explained everything from start to finish. Their installers did an outstanding job. Our house is 100% electric so going Solar was the best decision and investment we've ever made. Our electric bills have been $0.00 for 8 months and the other 4 winter months our bills were $100.00 less per month than previous years. We would recommend Solar Gains to anyone. Bill & Peg W

Excellent service and value!

If I could, I would give these folks a rating of SIX, out of five! When they installed my system, they did an outstanding job and, in fact, they placed my older system in proper working order,without extra charges. Starting with their initial consultation, and until they completed my installation, they provided the best service possible. I would more than happy to recommend Solar Gaines to my friends, family, or anyone who appreciates a company that truly cares about their clients, and takes great pride in their work. In short, compared to the other solar companies, this one is just super!

Response from SolarGaines

Strongly recommend

I work for a contractor so I have experience working with many different companies in the construction industry. Its hard to find a company that runs smooth from sales to installation and everything in-between. SolarGaines does. I had a great experience throughout the entire process with SolarGaines and would strongly recommend them. Everything was explained thoroughly on how the solar PV system works and what my expected return would be. They then got me financing that fit my particular needs which made it all possible. After the sale was complete they sent me an awesome welcome letter that explained what to expect from scheduling through to completion. If I had any questions they would get back to me promptly with the answer. The system is now complete and works/looks great!

How to Become a Solar Power Baron

I've always had an interest in going solar (my wife, not so much), but previous homes were surrounded by trees. Our current home presented an opportunity so we reached out to a few solar system providers. We ended up going with SolarGaines because of the price and the sales approach. We felt 0 pressure from Colin to buy. He simply presented the numbers. Construction took under a week and the project manager took extra steps to make sure the panels and conduit were aesthetically pleasing. If you have to come home to a solar array on your home that is a big issue. What we discovered was that after a few weeks we barely pay attention to the panels. After over a year with our system I am happy to report our system produces over initial estimates. Our ability to monitor daily production online not only tells us how our system is performing, but will also tell us if we have a problem with any individual panel. So far we have no problems. In a nutshell, SolarGaines made us feel like we hade their undivided attention, they delivered what they promised, and they checked in with us after installation was complete. If those things are important to others, look no further.

Solar installation

I started with the Big Box store partners and realized that speaking with a sales person 3K miles away and a subcontractor kind of in may area wasn't the way to go. Too cookie cutter. I then went regional and felt Solargaines asked the right questions and catered to my needs the way I would if I were them. They recommended and described the system we agreed fit my requirements in detail, remarked regarding the various incentives from the Fed and State Govs. Detailed what I believe was the best combination of panels and inverters on the market within the targeted price. The Solar Gaines team followed through to completion, initiated all the various permits applications to solar credits , power company connections , bla bla bla.... all of them, kept me up to date until completed. Even returned to move and reroute conduit that didn't meet my absolute satisfaction , but could have been OK with other customers. Anyway Good people (Colin, Mike, Sara) and the rest of the team. Solid company. Would or will use them again if I get another property.
