Top Solar Installation Companies Near Ashburn

Celestial Solar did a fabulous job installing our solar panels in the front and back of the house. Jim Reilly walked us through the options and answered our never-ending questions. Both the office and the on-the-ground crew were knowledgeable, responsive, professional, and efficient. We would highly recommend them for anyone considering solar!

We have been, and continue to be, very happy with the product (solar panels) and workmanship of this company.  We would highly recommend Solar Services to other consumers considering solar panels for pool heating.

Prospect Solar installed 37 solar panels on our roof in December 2020. The entire process went smoothly. The customer service was superb and the price was great too. I highly recommend them to others.

Hands down this is the most professional company I have dealt with in a long time. Jim and his team are top notch! Jim gave me multiple options to fit my budget, and in the first two weeks, I produced enough power to cover my electric use in December. I am excited to see how much solar power these things can bring in. They have the best solar equipment there is. You will not be disappointed. Go Solar with Celestial Solar Innovations!!

Solar Energy World installed our solar system in a very timely manner with absolutely no issues. We have now been using our system for over 2 1/2 months and the estimates on electricity output have proven accurate (in fact, in November our system generated substantially more electricity than was estimated for the month). While of course electricity generation relates a lot to how many sunny vs. cloudy days there are in a month, our experience so far gives us a lot of confidence in the estimates we received from Solar Energy World. Solar Energy World also was by a good margin the least expensive contractor we contacted. So, on both price and service, we highly recommend Solar Energy World.

“Five years and six companies later” I first considered solar in 2014. The lease option seemed to not provide much benefit to the homeowner. In 2019 I got serious about installing solar, interviewing five companies. Most of the companies were heavy on the marketing approach and a bit slow in addressing technical questions. Jim Reilly of Celestial Solar Innovations was different. No pressure to buy, but an interest in answering technical questions and discussing pros and cons. I purchased a 39-panel array rated at 12.09 kWp. Installation was completed on time with no problems. The workmen were personable and knowledgeable. NO call-backs for installation problems. Jim Reilly also put me in contact with a roofing company to install a new roof which provided a solid base for the solar installation. I am very comfortable with my decision to choose Celestial Solar Innovations for my solar installation.

Joel Griggs, owner of American Solar, did an outstanding job of trouble shooting & repairing a water leak, with the professionalism, skill and reasonable pricing which are characteristic of the company.  We have been customers for some 20 years, and American Solar continues to provide outstanding, responsive, and personal service which keeps both our solar-swimming-pool & domestic-hot-water systems functioning perfectly and most efficiently.  Joel and American Solar are the best!

Robert was great to work with on a potential solar installation. We set up an appointment quickly, he arrived promptly, and was highly professional. He provided the design and estimate quickly. This was the least expensive of the solar options we considered, with some 3 to 4 times as much. We ultimately chose a mid-range approach that used North American sourced materials and provided more power. However, I was impressed with Robert and Solar Solutions and would highly recommend you consider them for your solar project.

Celestial Solar Innovations is a family owned and local to our area. Celestial Solar became our Solar company to work with because of Jim’s knowledge, friendliness, and personality. Jim explained my questions with facts and ensure I understood what was being created and installed. Installation was conducted on time with little disruption to the neighborhood and families. Kudos to the teams and staff in working together to get the project accomplished. POWER UP!!! and Thank you.

His delivery was incredibly informative and friendly and I feel well-informed about the potential of solar in Virginia thanks to Herve. He has an incredible non-salesman approach and has a quality solar product at a competitive price.

Solar Energy Services is, hands down, the most efficient and professional solar installer in this region. Would not even hesitate to use them 1000 more times. Do not even bother looking for anyone else.

I wholeheartedly recommend Celestial Solar to anyone considering going solar. From the initial inquiry to the establishment of my SRECTrade account, Jim and his team were professional, informative, attentive to detail, and oriented towards my specific situation. They do it right. Here is some of the detail of my experience: Jim immediately differentiated Celestial Solar from the three other companies under consideration with his focus on my questions and concerns, a realistic assessment of the roof’s solar potential, and the tradeoffs regarding the number, location and quality of panels. He provided his recommendations, but made it clear that the decision was mine. Because we had to replace our roof prior to proceeding, Jim put me in touch with PJ Roofing with whom Celestial Solar frequently works. PJ Roofing not only installed the roof, it used the solar plan to relocate the attic fan, exhaust fans and plumbing stacks on the south-facing roof so the 21 panels could be optimally installed in one large block across the roof. Importantly, PJ Roofing and Celestial Solar had the lowest combined cost out of the 4 quotes. The crew installed the panels flawlessly in a day and a half. They clearly knew exactly what to do, and based on the light-hearted chatter, clearly enjoyed what they were doing. They minimized the amount of exposed conduit on the outside wall and roof – a concern of my spouse - by running it through the attic. As a testament to the quality of the installation I personally checked every roof rafter in the attic to see if any lag screws had “missed”. None had. I was particularly impressed with Travis, who did the detailed measuring of our roof and its solar potential and who waited for the County Inspector to arrive to approve the installation. While waiting Travis patiently answered my endless questions and explained the Enphase Energy System and Micro inverters to increase my comfort level. When one micro inverter seemed to have a spotty connection, he immediately climbed on the roof to resolve it and then verified the performance and serial number of the other 20. Even after I flipped the switch (literally) to turn on the system, Jim and Becky made sure I was familiar with the Enphase App, had the appropriate information for the Federal Tax Credit, Maryland’s Residential Solar Rebate Grant, and REC Certification. They also established SRECTrade account and explained how it worked. I have provided this much detail to convey the specifics of my experience was so positive. When you choose to use Celestial Solar you will not be disappointed. Jim, Becky, Travis and the Celestial Solar Crew, Thank you.

Home solar system. And a complex installation process was handled very professionally and expeditiously with excellent explanations

We looked into various solar panel installers before choosing Celestial Solar. We have had the installation up and running now for about six months and are very pleased with the performance. Celestial Solar is a family-owned business which is both very professional and very hands-on. They took care of all the paperwork to set us up to get the various credits and related online services. The owner, Jim Reilly, has been very responsive when I have sent email questions and helped me understand how the utility bill dovetails with the info that comes from the system monitoring application. Our system was installed during the pandemic and all the installers wore masks and were respectful of social distancing from us. We were particularly impressed with the care they took in designing our system so that it delivers as promised. We would recommend Celestial Solar with complete confidence.

After talking with several solar panel installers, we chose Celestial Solar Innovations, represented by Jim Reilly, because they were the most responsive to our questions, gave the clearest and fullest explanation of our options, and offered the best price for the system we wanted. During installation, they performed exactly as promised in terms of schedule, clean-up, and price. The install crew were polite, quick, and tidy. The follow-up was equally thorough, with a knowledgeable technician visiting to ensure our system was working, generating power, and connected to the on-line monitoring system so we can track our energy production. Celestial Solar made things easy by doing the paperwork needed to obtain permits, manage the switch with BGE, and submit our documentation for solar energy tax credits. We are delighted with the results of our project with Celestial Solar.

Celestial Solar Innovations installed a large solar array at my Chevy Chase MD home in 2016. I was very pleased with their attention to detail and the high quality of the installation. Jim Reilly provided excellent and professional advice from the design and selection of components through the completed installation and operation of the system. Mr. Reilly is an expert in solar installations. He was instrumental in identifying the most appropriate panels for my home. At his suggestion I used black on black LG panels which were a perfect solution for my home. I highly recommend Celestial Solar Innovations and Jim Reilly.

Ipsun Power provided straightforward analysis on the potential for our house to use solar power. In the end, it turned out that solar did not make sense for our house due to a technical difficulty. We received quotes from other companies but Ipsun always provided information and estimates to us that were supported by solid analysis and full disclosure that allowed us to make an informed decision. In the end, the technical issue prevented us from installing solar but we found Ipsun Power to be the most knowledgeable and truthful of all the companies we talked to about solar installation (the other companies ignored the issue). We strongly recommend Ipsun Power.

Solar Energy World exceeded my expectations at every step of the process. I would give A+++ if possible. Jamie the sales rep was fantastic to work with, ever patient with my million questions, and good to his word. The install crew were friendly and professional. The receptionist is always nice and even, Jeff,the computer monitoring system guy, is super helpful and friendly. There are many steps to going solar and many people that I interacted with. Every one of them demonstrates competence and professionalism. The final system performs exactly as it was designed to run. I could not be happier. Do not hesitate to go solar with Solar Energy World.

I became interested in looking into solar after my in-laws put solar on their home and were able to completely eliminate their electric bills. I decided to interview 3 different companies to get an idea of cost and recommended technology. I initially researched companies via Angie’s list and determined the best companies in the solar category. After interviewing all three companies I found the Celestial solar stood out in price, flexibility and design. Jim Reilly listened to my needs and presented a solar configuration with exactly what I was looking for. He met all of my requirements for the system and also provided the lowest price versus the competitors. Initially it made me nervous that he had such a low price, but after looking over numerous reviews and investigating the solar hardware he was providing I realized that he knew what he was doing and was not cutting corners in any way. So far the system has exceeded my expectations and produces more than what I was hoping every month. I could not be happier with Jim and his team and would recommend that anyone looking for solar in Maryland call Jim first!

The good price and the partnership with the solar company made me want to go with this company. I got 4 bids for my roof replacement and Certified’s was the lowest. They had done my neighbor’s roof and I had a good recommendation from him. Plus they have a great partnership with a solar company, Solar Solution. They combine the cost of the roof with the cost of the solar panels so that both qualify for the 30% federal tax credit. Solar Solution sells the solar renewable energy certificate (SREC) so in DC you get a 20 panel solar array for $5200 ($3640) after the tax credit. And you own the solar panels (not lease). With the tax credit on both the roof and the solar panels, the solar panels pay for themselves after less than a year of electricity savings. And then you get electricity savings for the 25 yr life of the panels. They did a modified bitumen granulated white flat roof. They added blown in insulation. They removed the rotted 1 x 6 planks. I had them remove the non-rotted 1 x 6 planks as well so they could access the area to add the insulation. I really wanted insulation because my house loses a lot of heat. Then they replaced with plywood. They took pictures and video of the work. They did the flashing around the chimney and the roof caps. They replaced the gutters. I was pleased with the work. I’m also pleased that the roof comes with a 15 year workmanship warranty and 20 yr product warranty. The solar panels come with a 10 yr workmanship warranty and a 25 yr product warranty. What I had before: a black flat roof that baked in the sun with no insulation in the attic, lots of ponding, and rotted wooding supporting it. What I have now: a white flat roof that reflects the sun, has lots of insulation in the attic, no ponding, firm structure and support, and will very soon have a solar array on it that will save me $60 per month on my electric bill. Cost: $7900 for roof, $1320 for new plywood, $1300 for insulation, $800 for gutters, $5200 for 5.2kw solar array. Total $16,520. Tax credit: $4956. Total after tax credit: $11,564.
