When we started looking for a solar vendor, I was surprised by the large numbers of them out there. But Lumina stood out from the beginning, largely because they came highly recommended by a friend I trust implicitly. Even without his endorsement, I'm confident I would have gone with Lumina anyway. In the end, I'm very glad I did, and here are some of the reasons why: 1. They're knowledgeable, courteous, prompt, and professional. These traits apply to everyone I've dealt with in their organization, from top to bottom. 2. Their prices are competitive. 3. If you live in Baltimore City, they can get it done for you. I spoke to at least half a dozen vendors who said you simply can't get solar if you live in Baltimore City. Lumina said we could, and they made it happen - everything from assessment to permitting to installation, all easily done with their expert guidance. Going solar is (rightly) viewed as a feel-good kind of thing, and Lumina has that spirit. But in a world of increasing competition in this space, they also stand out for what matters the most - they're good at what they do and they stand by their promises. So you should feel confident that if you work with Lumina, you'll get exactly what you signed up for: an expertly-installed, hassle-free and fully functional solar system for your home."

21st Century Power Solutions was referred to me by Retrofit Baltimore, a nonprofit that promotes energy efficiency and maintains a stable of carefully screened contractors who have agreed to offer solar systems at negotiated prices to homeowners referred by them. Konrad Kutter, a 21st Century Power Solutions Project Manager / Design Engineer responded rapidly. He scheduled a technician to perform a solar evaluation of my roof the following week, and a meeting to go over the results and present a proposal later the same week.<br /><br />From my first contact with Konrad, it was clear that I was dealing with a young man who knows solar well and is committed to excellent customer service. He has university degrees in electrical and civil engineering, and was easy to work with. He offered me two system layouts and three types of panels to pick from, gave me advice about the condition of the roof, which though currently acceptable for the solar system, was showing its age and would need to be replaced in several years, and suggested that I consider trimming branches of the largest trees to increase the roof’s exposure to the sun. I accepted all of his recommendations. <br /><br />21st CPS began installing the solar system two days after the roof was replaced. Most of the job was done in two days. It was finished early on the third day. The electric company replaced my one-way meter with a net meter two weeks later (mid-January), after which I turned on the system. I’m writing this in February and am pleased that when the sun is shining even on partly cloudy days, the solar system is generating more power than my house needs. As a result, not only is the system meeting my daytime need for electricity on those days, it will also further reduce my electric bill when I am paid for my excess solar-generated electricity.<br /><br />21st CPS worked closely with me from start to finish. They met my schedule requirements for the project, worked quickly and carefully, and ensured that aesthetics was built into the design by routing conduit through the attic, not on the surface of the roof. They also promise to be there if I have problems down the road. I am entirely satisfied with their design expertise, installation quality, customer service, and follow up. I highly recommend 21st Century Power Solutions.

We bought 26 panels and 2 Powerwalls. Everything was as advertised and is working very well. The sales process was stellar. Very straightforward and the sales rep knew the business. The installation was smooth and we have been up and running since Nov 2020.

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.

We have been generally very happy with our Edge install. We got estimates from multiple solar vendors and ultimately went with Edge largely because of the warranty. The installation process was easy. The main complaint i have is that the installers do not patch the holes made during installation. We had about 7 holes in our drywall (averaging 8 inches on a side) where they had to fish wiring. There were also a couple of places where they had to punch through an external wall. Oddly they sealed all those external holes, but not the drywall holes. So we had to pay a couple hundred dollars to a contractor we found to patch the drywall. The installers offered to patch the holes and we said yes, but then they did nothing. I realize in retrospect that they may have been hinting that it was an additional service we would pay directly to them. By default the installation should fix any associated damage. Post-install, things have been good. There were a couple of minor administrative and technical glitches that were promptly fixed. Overall we are happy with Edge.

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!

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.

In addition to great performance, my wife and I wanted our solar system to look attractive. Chris worked closely with us as we considered different layouts, and he climbed our roof to personally measure and ensure our layout would fit between a number of existing roof penetrations. Chris’s microinverter installs are state-of-the art and, for us, provided the best long term return on investment. Chris led the installation crew. He and his team were on time and professional, including cleaning up the job site thoroughly. He has also been easily accessible as I’ve had follow up questions during my first year with the system. We considered other vendors, but Chris was most receptive to our wish list and some of the vendors rely on satellite photos rather than in-person measurements. One of the national vendors was very pushy, which was a turn off. Overall we would highly recommend Chris and EcoSolar Solutions if you are considering a solar install.

I bought solar panels through a solar coop in my neighborhood. The best thing I can say is that everything went exactly as expected: there were no hidden fees or unexpected charges, the appointments were kept, the installation process was smooth, and I got what I wanted.

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!

I did not submit a review when my 12 KW install was complete because, although my experience with Colette in purchasing and installing the system was incredibly professional and well executed, I did not feel that an assessment of MSSI was valid until I'd spent some time with the system operating. Well, it's been more than two years since my Solar installation was completed, and I can tell you that MSSI has been wonderful to deal with as the system was set up, the system registered for SRECS, and their performance in monitoring the system operation. They've recently identified the second issue with the system operations-and in both cases caught the problem before I could identify it. They then contacted the equipment manufacturer and arranged for warranty replacement-and conducted the functional repair in a timely manner. My system continues to operate well-and I could not be happier with the entire experience of having purchased my solar array from MSSI.

After multiple quotes, Greenstreet solar came in almost $10,000 less then their competition and made the complex process of getting permits and tax rebates really easy. They have great communication. We love having solar and love sunny days even more!

Fast and efficient. Gave recommendations for changes to landscape to improve solar efficiency. Installation was quick and smooth. Only complaint was with CPS Energy and the time it took to get approval for installation of the system and final approval for connection to the grid.
