I set up a phone call to discuss a possible solar installation. On the day of the scheduled call (10 minutes before the scheduled call) I received an email asking for my phone number, which I provided. No one ever called. read more

We had our solar system installed by City Renewables nearly 4 years ago and were very happy with the process. Ben guided us through each step and continued providing excellent customer service. Recently, we updated our roof, and the solar removal/reinstallation was swift and smooth. Unlike friends' experiences with other companies, Ben's advice truly had our best interests at heart, giving us the best value. In our first 3 complete years, our SRECs payments have covered half of our loan amount, plus significant energy savings on our electric bill. If you want a company that offers great products, the best financing, and long-term support, choose City Renewables, we couldn't be happier that we put our trust in them. read more

When we were shopping for a Solar provider we were overwhelmed by the choices, but Ben proved to be the perfect advisor and advocate for us. We requested quotes from four different companies and Ben was able to get us the highest capacity system, with the best performance, at the best price, And the permitting and installation process went smoothy as well. We could not be happier. Our system has been operating flawlessly for over a year now and we have not had an electric bill since it went on line. And as an added bonus, we have SREC credit payments showing up in our bank account on a regular basis! Highest recommendations for Ben and City Renewables! read more

Ben at City Renewables was phenomenal from start to finish. He came to us highly recommended and it was clear why. First off, Ben has a passion for solar and is extremely knowledgeable about the products, services, companies, and regulations. Second, Ben was very personable- he did not push anything on us, connected with us, and worked with us to find the right solution.

So happy we went solar. City Renewables made it so easy. It was essentially planned and paid for us. You just need to want to do what's right for the environment (or just save money on energy) and they will help you do it all. Cannot say enough good things! Thank you, Ben!! read more

Ben and the whole team at City Renewables were fantastic to work with from start to finish! They made the whole process seamless and easy! I strongly recommend going with City Renewables read more

Ben was awesome on getting Solar on the roof of my house. I originally tried going to the kiosk at Costco, and the other business only offered an option to pay for electricity by use. Ben went all out on providing panels and SCREC options. Ben did all the bureaucracy tasks and found a lender that would finance me to make the solar happen. The solar is installed and I recommend getting it on the roof, and if you don't have a neighborhood association that gets in the way, get it installed. The price is high, but loan program were reasonable. If I get a 2nd property in North Carolina, I would hope City Renewables can do the job. read more

Ben Colbert and City Renewables are incredible! So knowledgeable, so responsive, and nice people. They are really plugged into all of the solar trends that can help you save a TON of money. Don't consider any other firm. read more

Ben and the City Renewables team were professional, quick and thoughtful in their approach to my solar project. The process to "go solar" includes many options (e.g. buy, lease, or finance the system; types of solar panels; and SREC platforms and sales methods). It is important to have a solar company that will work through the various options and stages of the process. Ben and City Renewables were there start to finish, responsive to requests and always available to share knowledge and expertise. Ben will point out that installing solar in DC is not a one-day or one-week relationship between the customer and the installer, instead it is a few months from inception to operation. This is accurate and relevant. In addition, after the system is installed, the installer is the primary contact for the 20-25 year warranty period. Given the long-term relationship, you want someone like Ben and City Renewables that will be engaged, involved, responsive and helpful throughout. I highly recommend Ben and City Renewables. read more

I called a number of solar providers, all of which seemed to have some gimmick that made it more worthwhile for them than me.

I highly recommend Ben for all your renewable energy needs, starting with a big solar panel installation on your roof. Ben held my hand every step of the way, answered all my questions and walked me through the federal and District incentive programs, then tailored a package with Revolution Solar to suit my household needs and finances. After we signed a deal, he oversaw the permitting, installation and the final set up, including the monitoring app and the renewable energy credit account. Thanks to Ben and Revolution Solar I now have my own power plant on top of my house. In addition to the satisfaction of having taken 9 MWh of energy per year off the fossil-fuel grid, I'm making money on sunny days. Ben is a solar evangelist and his enthusiasm for the technology is infectious. He's a cool guy and I have very much enjoyed shooting the bull with him about solar. I high recommend the dude. read more

HIGHLY recommend working with this company. Ben has been excellent! He has a passion for helping area residents access solar power, and he has been a valued guide to us throughout our buying process.

I have worked with City Renewables on a few solar projects in Washington DC and I couldn't be happier with the service that Ben and his team provide. Not only are they very knowledgeable of the marketplace, incentives and process from start to finish but they manage to create a fun atmosphere through the whole process. Solar is an absolute no brainer in DC and I couldn't recommend more highly a company than City Renewables. read more

If your getting solar panels, I highly recommend City Renewables. I had mine installed in September of 2020 and my life changes forever. They provided outstanding service from start to finish and beyond. I received personalized service for panel recommendations including roof pictures. Upon installation, I received additional pictures as well as a way to monitor my panels efficiency online and app. But, it does not stop there, I continue to get ongoing calls and emails from City Renewables asking about my satisfaction and ways they can help me. Installation may be their business, but customer satisfaction is their logo! read more

We began our quest for solar with EnergySage and contacted Ben after a few less than stellar conversations with companies that bid through EnergySage. Ben was very thorough, patient, and was true to his word--the aggressive timeline he set out was achieved. Very pleased with our experience and would recommend highly recommend working with Ben. read more

Ben and crew are awesome. This is a very complicated process if you try and do it yourself - Ben knows this inside and out - - took care of everything with city, permits & registering for rebates etc. install was done in one day and I was saving money the first month. Call Ben and get the scoop - they even have easy & affordable financing. Get scheduled ASAP to take advantage of rebates for installing the system. Between rebates and no electricity payments - system more than pays for itself - it's a no Brainer! Save the planet and get rewarded for doing it with all the incentives and rebates unique to DC. Great ongoing support by Ben and his crew also. You won't regret it. Just Do it! :) read more
