When we got into the market for solar everyone in our community recommended Key Solar. It didn't…read moretake long to realize why. Our salesperson was Jesse Carl and he went over the offerings very thoroughly and gave us a clear and concise presentation. We were told everything to expect and most importantly, what was NOT included. There were literally no surprises when it came time for installation. The payment invoice we easy to understand and every step of the way was explained to us. For those just starting the solar journey, there's a lot of communication that happens between the solar company and your utility company. Jesse and his team handle ALL of it. You just sit back and let the magic happen. Once all the permits and paperwork are handled you are given your app login and you can track your production. Honestly, this was one of the easiest and pain-free processes we've experienced with something at this dollar amount.

I decided to research having solar panels installed on our house earlier this year. We have 2 EVs…read moreand were looking for a way to offset the energy used plus invest in our house. I spoke with a total of 6 companies. Jesse Carl, the sales rep for Key Solar, was by far the most responsive, accommodating, and offered the best price and panel/ inverter options. Post sales Jesse was quick to respond whenever I had a question. Approvals were a breeze since Jesse took care of it, and the install team were all nice and respectful employees of Key Solar. I also love that the install team takes great pride in their work and it shows in the details, for instance installing power conduits unobtrusively so it blends in with the existing house structure. Installation did take a while to complete since I had several panels to install and added critterguards, but Billy the Operations Manager was responsive and did a good job getting everything scheduled. Only complaint I have is not loading up the south side of the house with more panels; looking at the data the south side produces twice as much energy as the other locations on my house. If you are considering solar, go with Key Solar and be sure to load up the south side of your house with as much panels as possible!

If you work full time and have a family, I would definitely recommend Celestial Solar…read more Choosing Celestial Solar has been one of the best decisions that we have made so far for our new home. As a family of 4 with 2 full-time working parents and 2 babies under two, Celestial Solar's support was nothing short of amazing for us. Jim and team are a good mix of professional and knowledgeable, and have been (and still are) genuinely nice to me and my family. They understand the complex nature of adding solar panels to your home and provide accurate estimates, recommend the best tech for your situation, walk you through the entire process, and have an awesome installation team who were efficient and installed everything without any hiccups. The extra support they also provide by completing permit paper work and communication on your behalf, mixed with the professional, yet fun, installation workers that my kids really liked, made this experience great for me and my family. We are now a few months into running our system and we have been overproducing energy, while Jim and team still keep in contact to make sure that everything is running smoothly.

Very easy to work with, Jim (the owner) was very easy to work with and plan with. Answered all of…read moreour questions and was very prompt with responses whenever a new one popped up. Gave us honest opinions on panel quality, recommendations, and laid out work expectations given their experiences working with the utilities. Installation was completed across 2 days due to the # of panels, they were very courteous, prompt, and efficient in getting the work done. We didn't have to hound Pepco or do anything additional, Jim handled it all for us. Our production for March 2026 was 1.3 MWh, electric bill was $8.94 (for cost of connecting to the grid). If you are considering solar, definitely give Celestial a call!

This company has always delivered and at a high level regardless of the project size.

It has been with great comfort that I have recommended GOT Electric to others over the years, and have always been met with gratitude from those that ended up hiring them.

Mine was complicated as I wanted to add a second system in addition to an older system that was still functioning. They dealt with the special issues this created with no drama or surprises. I'm an engineer and both get and care about the details. I worked with Kurt Zwally and he was patient and technically excellent. I double checked every calculation we talked about and they were all spot on. The system has been working great for several years now. I had two service calls they handled very effectively - one was a warranty replacement for an inverter that stopped working and the other was repairing damage caused by squirrels (!@?! squirrels!). I don't hesitate to recommend this company. They've installed systems for two of my friends since mine was done.

Worst of all, 4) I don't think the solar attic fan they supposedly installed even works as it has made little difference in cooling my home. I said "supposedly" because I don't have access to my attic and I cannot see the roof of my property from the street, so since they installed this while I wasn't home - I haven't personally seen this fan I paid them a G to install.

After shopping around for solar bids I finally landed on Paradise Energy Solutions. Unlike the…read moreother contractors, they explained to me why, due to my low electricity usage (less than $100/month), solar is not a wise investment for me. It would take over 20 years for my installation investment to break even, and by then the life of the panels would be nearly over. The other contractors told me, "On average, it takes seven years to break even." Only Paradise had the honesty to tell me my circumstances are outside the average. That's a level of ethical integrity that deserves a 5-star review because it tells you something important about this business.
