We are a full service, owner operated solar company headquartered in Eldersburg, Maryland. We design and install custom solar electric and back up battery systems for homes and businesses in Frederick, Carroll, Baltimore, Montgomery, Howard, Prince George's, Anne Arundel, and Washington counties. We do not provide service to existing systems that were installed by another company.

"I recently had a solar system installed by Celestial Solar Innovations and couldn't be happier with the experience. From the start, Jim was fantastic to work with—professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. He took the time to walk me through every step of the process, explained the technology in detail, and answered all my questions thoroughly and quickly. I really appreciated his transparency and how he shared insights from past projects, clearly demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement. The installation crew was just as impressive—friendly, professional, and attentive to my preferences. They took the time to talk with me during the install and followed my requests for conduit placement exactly. The equipment they use is top-notch and looks great on my home. Best of all, they managed all the coordination with my HOA, the power company and SRECtrade, so I didn’t have to lift a finger. While I received similar quotes from larger regional installers, I'm so glad I chose this local company. The personal attention and quality of work really stood out. I’ve already recommended Celestial Solar to friends and neighbors and will continue to do so. Highly recommended!"

American Home takes great pride in ensuring customer satisfaction and commits to delivering the highest quality of work when renovating any home.

"American Home Contractors and Hugo in particular were great to work with. We had multiple jobs done which required several trips and Hugo kept us informed and worked around several weather delays. He relocated and installed a new attic fan, hooked up the bathroom fan to a new roof vent, insulated a pipe in the attic, installed apron flashing on four windows, painted the flue vent, reconnected some lose siding and replaced three pieces of rotted trim and painted it. The work appears to be top notch and we appreciate the hard work and long hours Hugo put in! I would definitely recommend this company and most certainly Hugo to everyone. We also had American Home Contractors replace our gutters and install gutter guards. They did an excellent job with that as well."

Why choose ROI Construction? Our Gold Standard guarantee is 100% customer satisfaction, 100% of the time! - It's that simple. No need to keep looking for “Contractor near me,” we are the top local Maryland and DC family owned Exterior company (est. 1974) that delivers the best results and a positive return on investment in the area! ROI also does a final walkthrough of every-single-job to ensure that we deliver a superior finished product for every ROI customer!

"While I appreciate the company's attempt to rectify initial issues, our overall experience with this solar installation was unfortunately very unprofessional. The initial installation team demonstrated a lack of respect for our property, damaging plants, leaving debris (including an orange cone), and inappropriately using our private bathroom despite a readily available public restroom on the premises. Following my initial negative review, the company offered a Home Depot gift card as compensation, which wasn't particularly useful to us. They also offered to address some unrelated roof repairs they noticed, but I questioned why these weren't addressed during the original solar installation. Scheduling follow-up work proved equally frustrating. An appointment was scheduled for Wednesday, but the crew arrived a day early on Tuesday without prior communication. While I appreciated them attempting to complete the work ahead of schedule, they left the roof partially finished overnight, exposed to potential weather damage. Furthermore, the crew damaged another plant box during the Tuesday work and continued noisy work – including banging on the roof – until 8:30 PM on Wednesday, violating DC noise ordinances that typically require work to conclude by 7:30 PM. This put us at risk of a city violation. Throughout the entire process, communication was poor and the lack of consideration for our property and local regulations was deeply concerning. While I appreciate the attempt to make things right, the experience was ultimately not ideal and left us feeling very dissatisfied."

"Solenergi designed a solar system and installed 24 panels on our house in Arlington. We worked with Suhaib Shah from Solenergi on the design of the solar system to meet our anticipated electrical use. He was willing to go back and forth with us multiple times as we optimized the panel arrangement. On our behalf, Solenergi got the necessary permit approvals from Arlington County and Dominion Energy, installed the panels, and made sure that we were connected to the Enphase app that allows us to track our electrical generation. Once installed, Solenergi set us up with SRECtrade so that we would receive SRECs. Suhaib was always available to field questions and address concerns. We very much enjoyed our interactions with him and appreciated his patience as he walked us through the process. The project took longer than expected because of unanticipated panel availability issues (we eventually changed to Qcell panels, which we were happy with). Solenergi actually deducted from the price of our system an estimate of the additional Dominion Energy bills that we incurred because of the installation delay, something we didn't ask for. We obtained proposals from three solar companies. Each company proposed a somewhat different system that made direct comparison difficult, but our analysis showed that Solenergi offered the lowest price when systems were compared on a kW basis. Their competitive price as well as inclusion of highly rated panels in their proposal were two reasons for selecting Solenergi. Now that the system has been operating for a couple of months, we're thrilled to receive Dominion Energy bills of $6/month. All in all, we're very happy with our decision to install solar panels and to use Solenergi for designing and installing our system."

Solar panel services FAQs

The average cost to install solar panels is around $26,600, and most homeowners pay between $4,500 and $53,000. Keep in mind that these prices don’t consider the federal investment tax credit (ITC), which can effectively reduce those costs by up to 30%. The price you can expect to pay for solar panel installation depends on the size of the system, where you live, the type and brand of panels, and the labor costs. Get price quotes from at least three solar companies in your area to find the best deal.

In most states, solar installers need to be licensed and insured as solar professionals, although some states don’t have specific requirements for installers. You can use our state licensing tool to check if an installer you’re considering hiring holds the proper licensing. No matter where you live, a member of your solar panel installation company must be a certified electrician to connect your panels to your home and the electric grid.

There are a few qualifying questions you should ask a local solar panel company before hiring them:

  • Will you handle permits for the installation?

  • Does your total price include the equipment and labor?

  • How long do you expect the installation process to take?

  • What kind of workmanship warranty do you include with your installations?

  • Who should I contact if I have a problem with my system after installation?

  • Do you install the panels or outsource the work to third parties?

  • Will you file for solar incentives for me?

In most cases, yes, solar panels are well worth the investment. Going solar with your home’s energy is expensive, but, in most states, the panels will pay for themselves by reducing your electric bills. Solar panels don’t produce greenhouse gasses or other pollutants, meaning you can feel good about using this renewable energy source to power your home. Plus, installing solar panels can boost your home value, helping your profit off your next home sale.

Yes, solar panel installation will require permits. The required permits will depend on where you live, as some states and cities have solar-specific permits, while others only require electrical permits to connect to the grid. In either case, it’s best to hire a reputable solar installer in your area, as a representative should handle all of the necessary permitting for you and will include the cost of the permits in your initial solar estimate.
