This is my second Paradise Energy Solutions solar project over the past 3 years. I have been very satisfied with Brian's expertise in sales and Charlie, my project manager's expertise in creating solutions. The installation teams were very professional and efficent. They worked hard getting the job done, and surmounting obstacles, including antiquated electrical panels. I think it is a great long term investment, and production thus far has exceeded estimates. I am glad I went with Paradise Energy Solutions for both projects. If you are interested in solar energy and want to work with a good company give them a call.

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

From the very first encounter, Blue Raven is professional and diligent. They answered all my questions and quickly came up with a solution that covers all my power usage. They worked with my HOA for rapid approval. The installation team was fantastic, arrived exactly when they said and all work and electrical was done in 1 day. The team worked efficiently and complete professionals all day even walking me through the new functionality and steps at the end. This is the kind of service we should always get out of companies and not be surprised but it is. I highly recommend this team.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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 />
