Very helpful, and patient, through the whole process Alex T is great!). I considered several solar companies, and Lumina did the best job explaining the options and what they could do to best fit my needs/wants, and had a fair price... best value. Their installers did an awesome job, got it installed quickly. And Lumina has been there to answer all my follow-up questions quickly and completely. Highly, highly recommend them. 5+ stars.

I chose to cancel my agreement with REC after they failed to provide me with the details (number of panels, design) in the wake of the visit by the pushy salesmen who claimed we were getting special pricing and had to sign NOW, or the deal wasn't available the next day. Perhaps it was the truth that I was 1st in my zip code and it was a discounted price (but still not less than other quotes I got), regardless I felt like I had a used car salesman hoodwink me into a solar system.

The only delays were weather related, which given the weather we had this winter, were perfectly understandable. Every person I dealt with at Clean Currents was pleasant and enthusiastic.<br />

I met Elena and I had a hard time making up my mind about solar panels. After she showed me why I should go with Circa Energy I pondered more with why I should go green and could never get over how patient and caring Elena was with what I wanted. I am looking forward to seeing what the end of the matter will be. However, no matter how it turns out, I'm happy to have met Elena.

My PV array was installed three years ago and so far I had no single problem with it. I have made my research before I have selected Aurora. Their offer had competitive price and best panels well matched to microinverters. The work was performed on time as promised, including permits, inspections, and registrations. The array production is spot on averaging so far about 1% over the promised level. Over the last three years there is no observable deterioration of the energy producing power of the PVs.

I wholeheartedly recommend Celestial Solar to anyone considering going solar. From the initial inquiry to the establishment of my SRECTrade account, Jim and his team were professional, informative, attentive to detail, and oriented towards my specific situation. They do it right. Here is some of the detail of my experience: Jim immediately differentiated Celestial Solar from the three other companies under consideration with his focus on my questions and concerns, a realistic assessment of the roof’s solar potential, and the tradeoffs regarding the number, location and quality of panels. He provided his recommendations, but made it clear that the decision was mine. Because we had to replace our roof prior to proceeding, Jim put me in touch with PJ Roofing with whom Celestial Solar frequently works. PJ Roofing not only installed the roof, it used the solar plan to relocate the attic fan, exhaust fans and plumbing stacks on the south-facing roof so the 21 panels could be optimally installed in one large block across the roof. Importantly, PJ Roofing and Celestial Solar had the lowest combined cost out of the 4 quotes. The crew installed the panels flawlessly in a day and a half. They clearly knew exactly what to do, and based on the light-hearted chatter, clearly enjoyed what they were doing. They minimized the amount of exposed conduit on the outside wall and roof – a concern of my spouse - by running it through the attic. As a testament to the quality of the installation I personally checked every roof rafter in the attic to see if any lag screws had “missed”. None had. I was particularly impressed with Travis, who did the detailed measuring of our roof and its solar potential and who waited for the County Inspector to arrive to approve the installation. While waiting Travis patiently answered my endless questions and explained the Enphase Energy System and Micro inverters to increase my comfort level. When one micro inverter seemed to have a spotty connection, he immediately climbed on the roof to resolve it and then verified the performance and serial number of the other 20. Even after I flipped the switch (literally) to turn on the system, Jim and Becky made sure I was familiar with the Enphase App, had the appropriate information for the Federal Tax Credit, Maryland’s Residential Solar Rebate Grant, and REC Certification. They also established SRECTrade account and explained how it worked. I have provided this much detail to convey the specifics of my experience was so positive. When you choose to use Celestial Solar you will not be disappointed. Jim, Becky, Travis and the Celestial Solar Crew, Thank you.

Late adding the review, but want to make sure to give Solar Gaines 5 stars. We had a system installed in April 2019 and it's been fantastic. They made a great first impression in that when we called for a quote, they treated this like any other home improvement project. They didn't send a salesman, they sent someone who would spec out what needed to be done and give us an estimate, not a hard sell. Through-out the process they were great to work with and had someone on staff who worked all the paperwork on our behalf to get the tax credits and even followed up with the county months afterward to fully confirm we were on the property tax credit wait list. Between the cost avoidance and the SRECs, we're basically cash flow neutral with a 100% financed system... eventually we pay off the loan and it's just free electricity. Great local company, professional and easy to work with, stop reading reviews and just go get your solar system installed!

Although the system was performing at a higher level than expected, it could be doing even better. I believe many companies would have just told me the system is performing “well enough” and no warranty would have been honored. However, solar energy world and enphase decided, that wasn’t a good enough response and decided to cover everything. I am just waiting on install now. The combination of great service and strong partnerships is what makes this a pleasant experience. If everyone would just do the right thing, as is being done here, it would be a much better world. Business would strive to do better instead of trying to get away with as much as possible. I thank you and your team for making a difference and doing the right thing.

Read the other reviews and you will see the quality of the people, the installation, and the product. There is no high pressure sales group - when you are working on a quote you are talking with the people who do the work and know the equipment. No "I need to ask someone about that question." If you are really interested in solar, they are ready to work with you. Yes, it is a good value. Value is not just the prices ($/watt) but also their level of care and diligence. I did plenty of research before signing and couldn't be more pleased with making the right decision to go with Nova Solar.

Solar Energy Services was willing to try to service a 9 year old Schuco system they didn't sell. Hard to find good people do that. Reliable scheduling and transparent, understandable and fair pricing. Knowledgable service tech arrived on schedule and changed glycol and fully recharged system - he was very diligent/thorough. They earned by trust and future business!

Compare prices and reputations solar companies in your city
Which solar company should I choose?
The reviews scores for the largest solar companies are far worse than those for local, family-owned solar installation companies.
The best solar companies meet the following criteria:
- Local
- Family-owned
- Less than 50 staff
- Has an office near you
- Been in business longer than 5 years
- Employs their own installation crews
- Uses Tier 1 solar panels
- Uses inverters from Enphase, SolarEdge, SMA or Fronius
The solar industry is full of fly-by-night solar companies — both big and small — that open one year and are gone the next.
Solar panels last for 25-30 years, so you want an installer who will help you with any problems or system faults. For this to happen, your installer needs to be able to stay in business
Local solar companies, as a group, have the highest reviews score on our site and also have lower overheads than corporate installers, making them more likely to survive in the long term.

I used this company to have a basis for my solar panels on my new house. They did a great assessment of my usage, roof, and environment. They came to the house after numerous meetings online (COVID) to finalize the project and check if 100% everything was fine. Everything financially was reviewed. Before starting, they took over all the communication with the HOA. Once approved by the HOA, the project was started. I now have 28 beautiful Solar Panels which cover 100% of my yearly usage. Would I recommend Cape Fear Solar Systems: YES.

In Dec 2020 we sold our home and the solar was leased. It took numerous phone calls by myself and our realtor to finally get the transferred completed with having to resend multiple documents previously sent. Then Sun Run posted my November payment to the new owners account this took multiple phone calls to get the payment posted to my account. Today we are dealing with December bill that was paid on 2021 and ACH Transaction from my bank on 2 Feb 2021. We have called twice to get this resolved because they posted the payment to the new owners account. We called on 10 Feb 2021 and the payment still has not been posted to my account. We called again today 19 Feb 2021 and were told they sent it billing for resolution. In my view they are committing fraud by accepting payment and ACH deduction from my bank account and so far they have refused to credit my account. Stay away from Sun Run they have incompetent systems and they must constantly be called to resolve issues.
