My solar system has been very well served by Paradise Energy Solutions over the years. When there has been an issue they have acted and followed up until a resolution of the problem was in place.

This team is A-MAZE-Ing! Professional, Prompt, and Communicative. From the start they were always on time, and explained every step of the way. I had done a lot of research prior to my in home presentation, so I was able to fact check them ahead of time to see if they were just trying to get a sell... from first meeting to actual install was less than one month, and I haven't had to do a thing, but be home on install day. We still have to have the power company inspect and all that before my panels are switched on. But smooth sailing thus far. Highly recommend ION

Living in as remote an area as exists in the "Lower 48", solar, as a means to provide power & heat, was THE rational energy choice. Having the system installed by the same contractor who completed the building allowed for a system perfectly integrated into the structure of our home. Choosing an off-grid solar system was consistent with our overall desire to build "green". `Atlantic Solar Solutions` took both our green-ideals AND our financial limits into consideration when designing & building a system satisfying BOTH concerns.<br />In BOTH price AND concern for our needs & ideals, regarding the NEED to build in an ecologically-conscious cost-effective home, our contractor has done an admirable job: I would recommend him, without hesitation,to family & friends. We selected this contractor even after interviewing two others, who were likewise "green", NOT because he was the "cheapest" but because of OVERALL VALUE, attention to our ideals & sensitivity to our economic limits. We wanted QUALITY, to last, & that`s what we got.

I do not normally leave reviews but feel it important to leave one for Grayson, Fred and their team. They are first class from cradle to grave. I signed a contract with these guys and they came back to me and showed me a way to save thousands, voided the original contract and resigned the new one. Moralistic Integrity at its finest. They will take care of you.

After interviewing multiple solar providers, I employed Helios Solar to design and install an 8kw rooftop solar PV system at my residence in Sterling, VA. Helios Solar was responsive, timely, professional, and competitively priced. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality, well planned solar solutions.<br /><br />-Todd Willoughby, AIA, LEED AP

We reached out to eight companies for our project. We received quotes from all of them except one (who insisted that my wife and I both be present to suffer through their two hour sales pitch).<br /><br />I asked a lot of questions and proposed all sorts of ideas to each of the vendors. Some of the ideas were legitimate and some were completely crazy. Only one vendor advised me against doing my crazy ideas – Trent Taliaferro said, “I’d love to sell you a bigger system but there is no way you will get your money out of it. It just doesn’t make sense to do that.” All the other venders were going to sell me things they knew I did not need. That is why I selected Trent/Teakwood.<br /><br />They were not the cheapest but they were below the average of the rest. Nearly a year later, I am still very pleased with their service and quality.

This was the first time I had experience with solar systems. I am very pleased at the outcome of the process, expenses saved thus far (lower electric bill by at least half and that was not a complete month on the sysstem yet) and the expected savings I believe I will get. Walter Benda was our installer and he was extremely thorough with all the paperwork, the work involved and even the follow up after the system was in place. He is extremely knowledgeable about solar systems and very professional. I would recommend him again and again.

good prices and high quality, but what really sets Shockoe apart from other company`s is their willingness to explain any aspect of the solar setup that you have questions about, their warranty, and their willingness to do the little things (like fix a shingle while they are on the roof)<br />

I rarely (make that never) write reviews, but I am compelled to urge anyone contemplating a residential solar installation to contact Nova Solar. This is an excellent operation from start to finish. First, Nova Solar has no sales staff. They are a small family owned business based in Northern Virginia. When you contact Nova Solar you will be speaking with one of the principals from the get go, most likely Barklie or Trip. Nova Solar will detail one person as your contact and this person has direct hands on experience with analysis of your solar potential, design of your system (including aesthetic considerations), permitting, installation, and connection to the grid. Unlike a salesperson, you will never hear “I”ll get back to you after I talk to our (fill in the blank)”. And the person with whom you have gone through this major home improvement decision will be there, up on your roof, when it is time to install. The only down side to this is your contact might not pick up the phone right away when you call. This is because he is up on a roof doing an install. I will gladly wait an hour for a call back to talk to a guy who knows what he is talking about, because he DOES what he is talking about. During my due diligence, I interacted with a larger multistate solar company. My phone is still full of messages and texts from sales people doing a hard sell. Nova Solar will answer your questions and leave you to decide if and when to go forward with such a major decision about your home…a decision that can’t easily be undone. Second, Nova Solar installs what I believe to be top of the line equipment. During my due diligence it became apparent that many residential solar companies install panels from their preferred supplier. My research indicated the panels Nova Solar is installing are more powerful, durable, and robust. They cost a bit more per panel, but the increased power per panel meant fewer panels for my installation and hence lower overall cost with a longer life expectance. It is wise to do some research on this just as you would with a car. You can trade in a car you’re not happy with. This purchase will be securely bolted on your home. Third, the Nova Solar crew (including my dedicated contact person) showed up to the minute they said they would, took remarkable care with a challenging install on a steeply pitched roof, and finished in one day as they said they would, leaving my property cleaner than they found it. The one minor hitch in the install was handled quicker than anticipated without me chasing them down. They clearly care about the quality of their work. I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with these guys. And it was kind of nice to have two guys with MBAs up on my roof. -Mike F

I live in a townhouse which had not yet decided on HOA regulations for solar panels, Ipsun presented support technical data for all issues as well as design preliminary drawings considering shared roof concerns. Ipsun handled all my battery backup desires, helping me select exact circuits within my house for best coverage. A summer bill of $7.14 and only noticing a power outage because a light came on that wasn't is wonderful. I use the app to see how I'm doing every day. Ipsun calls with updates, I can't recommend a company more (and other companies have since wandered into our community which have created problems, there are differences). Ipsun did everything right for me and was recommended by Fairfax county.

Had a personal connection to this company that lead me to use them, but it was a great experience. I was wanting to install solar for a few years and talked to another group, but this was the way to go. The guys were polite (from a safe social distance during covid19) and worked efficiently even to the point of saving sod removed to connect my house and barn's electric lines, and replace it neatly over the ditch. I am happily making electricity and just paid my last electric bill! I highly recommend Solar Connexion!

We had Solar Services give us the only quote we could get in our area, and they came in where we expected price-wise. After working out the installation plans with our HOA (and buying more expensive panels to make the HOA happy), we were ready to begin. And then it rained. And rained. But finally we got our panels installed and inspected, and were able to turn it on yesterday! Solar Services was just an email or phone call away the whole process, and even came out to talk to the HOA and answer questions about the aesthetics of the system, potential problems, etc. Will and Matt are some of the nicest guys possible as the sales team.<br />The two "4 star" review sections below are because we were originally going to get a 24-panel system, but when we upgraded to all black Solaria panels, they wouldn't fit on our roof 8-across. It took until after we had already paid the deposit for them to notice, so we dropped from the 8.6kW system we expected to 7.5. Scheduling the install was another sticking point, but mostly not their fault. There was a ton of rain and they had to find a time that was sunny that still meshed with other installs. They were transparent about the process, but it still took longer than I would have liked.<br />Overall though, I would recommend them to anyone in the area interested in producing their own energy and getting away from coal or gas power plants!

Early in 2015 I contacted several solar companies to discuss installing a solar solution. Main Street Solar was one of three who responded and was the only willing to come out to the property to discuss in-person my needs. Being able to have a "live" discussion in which all my questions were answered and I learned quite a lot. In November 2015 they installed a 24-panel ground-mounted array. The installation crew was great and when follow-up was necessary, they were quick to respond. I was so satisfied with the results, I asked them to come back in November 2018 to install a second array )20 panels). I've recommended Main Street to several friends in the area and would gladly do so again.

I hate giving negative reviews. It just makes me feel dirty. Unfortunately, here I am, on a weeknight, spending the last hours of my evening writing this review. Let me start off by saying that Blue Raven is a quality solar installer. The equipment is top notch, and their installation team really does great work. My issues come from their ability to communicate with their customer about the status of a project regularly and reliably. Here is a list of the issues I encountered while going through the install process with Blue Raven: 1) during the initial inspection, the inspector did not realize that the joists used in my roof were of a different size than needed to properly install the equipment with the mounting brackets they had ordered. This caused a delay that was expected to be minimal. 2) During this period, the install team asked if they could leave the equipment at my home. Now this is a huge pile of expensive solar panels and other installation equipment. I told the foreman that this wouldn’t be a problem as long as I could get written confirmation that I had no responsibility for the equipment. I didn’t receive this confirmation until much later after I had contacted Blue Raven with my concerns. 3) I was completely stood up on a rescheduled day to complete the install 4) This is admittedly minor, but during the install, my old, very dated meter was broken. This in and of itself was frustrating, but honestly, it meant that the city I live in would be replacing the meter free of cost to me. The problem with this is, after the install was completed, I had to wait until today, Dec 3rd, to turn on my system. It’s important to note that this was out of Blue Ravens’ hands. Xcel, due to the conditions of our modern time’s — covid — took especially long to replace this meter, which was preventing me from turning on my system. This review is getting lengthy, so I will close with this: I signed contracts with Blue Raven Solar in June of 2020. My install wasn’t completed until Sept of 2020. Once the install was complete, I wasn’t able to turn the system on until today (Dec 3rd, 2020). Before I could use the system that I was already paying for, I had to wait roughly six months. I hope that nobody else has this experience with Blue Raven. It is the most frustrating and disrespectful thing I have ever dealt with. There are two reasons I gave Blue Raven Solar a three star review instead of a one star review. First, Mike Fox. He was the only person who I felt was in my corner and willing to keep a line of communication open with me. I expressed my concerns above, and he did everything he could to keep me in the loop going forward. He is a great example of the value of communication with a customer. Second, as I stated at the beginning of this review, the install was great, and I understand that part of the reason my install took so long to complete was because they wanted to do the job right. And they did.

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.

I was sold this system by David Nekula who said my highest power bill from the company he made me switch to, would be about 130. Lie! They are over $200 each month, closer to $300 a month. He doesn’t return calls and neither does his supervisor, Amanda Miller. Worst customer service and liars that I have ever dealt with. Don’t go with Sunrun! They lie and have no idea what they are doing. I am stopping my payment draft to them. David came across as knowledgeable, but it was all a lie to get a commission.
