I decided to buy solar panels for two reasons; first, I wanted to support clean Renewable Energy. In addition to solar panels, I also own an electric car and I am trying to reduce my carbon footprint. Second, I wanted to reduce my monthly living expenses. My son used Renewable Energy and I know he did a lot of research before he picked a company. I decided to follow in his footsteps. I was very happy that I did. They are a great company. First, they did a full ROI and assessment to make sure it made sense for my house. They examined my electric bill and did studies on my roof to determine where I can have the best result. In addition, Renewable Energy uses all American made panels, warranties it for 25 years and most importantly, their system has inverters on the roof to provide the most efficient conversion from DC to AC. I would not want to use a company where you don't own the panels, then I am just buying electric from them instead of the electric company. They scheduled an install for me, and showed up on time with a whole crew to do the work. When it came time for the county inspection, they sent someone to my house who sat in their car most of the day to wait for the inspector. They wanted to make sure the job was right. In addition, the prefilled most of the paperwork (they can't sign for me) for my Maryland Grant, my Baltimore County Grant, the paperwork needed for a net meter and to get setup for SRECs. <br />When the net meter was installed, I did have an issue, but they came out the next day and took care of it. I measure a company by how well they do when everything is not perfect. I am now generating my own electric, reducing my monthly bills. I am even charging my car off of clean energy. In addition, shortly, I should be able to sell SRECs which will also reduce my monthly expenses. I highly recommend Renewable Energy. They make the process easy, do a quality job with quality material and make sure you get all of the grants and rebates that you are eligible for.
