I choose a black panel that looked better aesthetically, and a specific inverter that has a backup outlet feature and they were one of the only ones in Maryland that could accommodate both requests. The system is currently generating about 20-30% MORE electricity than it is guaranteed to produce, which is an added bonus. All the conduit and panels, etc. were installed very cleanly and professionally, the whole thing looks great. Most people don't even notice I have solar due to the way my roof/house is oriented.
The whole process was taken care of by Solar Gaines, all I did was sign a few pieces of paper. The system was originally promised to be installed fairly quickly, but took a bit longer before everything was worked out with permits, inspections, PEPCO nonsense, and so on. Most of that was not their fault, but some of it could have been handled/communicated a little better. I think they were pretty busy at the time. I spent a lot of time crossing out things I didn't like in their standard contract which were confusing/incorrect and they took the time to make the changes needed to improve their general contract to be more clear. They definitely wanted to do things correctly.
Overall, I would definitely go with them again. Haven't had any problems and got a great deal on the system.
