I had a very disappointing experience with Solar Solutions and would not recommend them…read more First, I referred my neighbor to them after being told I'd receive a $600 referral credit -- I never got it. When it came time to get panels on my own roof before the tax credit deadline, the process turned into weeks of back-and-forth. At first, they agreed to a price match with a competitor, and I also asked that their 10-year roof leak warranty be extended to 15 years, which they initially agreed to. However, when it came time to sign, they raised the price without any discussion, refused to honor the price match, and said it "should never have been offered." They also bad-mouthed the competitor (which came across as unprofessional) and told me it was essentially "take it or leave it." Given the limited time to secure the tax credit, this was incredibly frustrating. I walked away -- I would rather not install solar at all than work with a company that operates like this. To make matters worse, my neighbor's project (the one I referred) was mishandled as well. His roof needed repairs before solar panels could be installed. Solar Solutions told him they'd address it, but they didn't -- they just installed the panels anyway. When my roofer came out for my home, he also inspected my neighbor's and confirmed the roof needed major repair. My neighbor then had to call Solar Solutions back to remove all the panels so the roof could be fixed. What a mess. In short: broken promises, unprofessional conduct, and careless work. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you're considering solar.

It did take some time for them to respond to my numerous requests, but the result was that they showed that my initial trust in them was warranted.

Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this company…read more I was initially given a timeline indicating the project would be completed in time for my MEA application. In my case, that timeline was not met, and I had to request an extension, which I understand may or may not be approved. I potentially lost funding for thousands of dollars. The installation process took significantly longer than originally indicated. My project began in August of last year, and I did not receive permission to operate until mid-April of this year. in my experience, communication was inconsistent, with delays in responses and updates. In early to mid-March, I reached out multiple times and was told there were no updates. After escalating my inquiry, I was later informed that a visit had already been scheduled for the following week, which I had not previously been made aware of. This was confusing and raised concerns for me about how scheduling was communicated. Why are they making in house access appointment without ever confirming with me and telling me no appointment has been made at the same time? During one visit, I observed that the door was left open for periods of time in very cold weather (in the 20s °F), despite my requests to keep it closed. When I raised these concerns, I felt that my feedback was not fully acknowledged, as the responses I received focused more on explanations than on addressing the issues I had raised. Overall, my experience was frustrating and did not meet my expectations for professionalism.

For several years, I had considered going solar, and after thorough research, I finally decided the…read moretiming was right. That's when the real work began. I was very specific about how I wanted my 10 KW system designed--both in scope and budget. I also wanted to work with an installer who was deeply familiar with the incentives available in my area. That criterion alone narrowed down the list significantly. When I began reaching out to various companies, I quickly discovered a frustrating trend: many solar installers were locked into a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach and were unable (or unwilling) to work outside of a limited system design. My project required string inverter build, which further complicated the search. Another challenge I encountered was a general lack of knowledge among some companies' sales teams. Many couldn't confidently discuss critical elements like system components or even the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which is currently in the phase-out period--making it even more urgent for homeowners to act now. After speaking with many companies, I had the good fortune of connecting with Ms. Elena Zenke, owner of Bee Happy Solar. From our first conversation, I knew she was different. She was knowledgeable, flexible, and respectful of both my timeline and payment preferences. She welcomed my involvement in the design process, listened to my needs, and collaborated with me to ensure the system met my vision. Bee Happy Solar is the only company I know of that offers both string inverter and micro inverter solutions, which speaks to their technical versatility. A few months after my installation, I upgraded my home modem and lost connection to my inverter's monitoring system. Elena personally came back to my home and assisted with a support call to the micro inverter manufacturer until the issue was resolved. That level of post-installation service truly solidified my trust in her and her company. The installation crew was professional, efficient, and meticulous in their work. One of the installers even helped me resolve a minor issue with my skylight--completely unrelated to the solar project--and did so at no charge. That act of generosity did not go unnoticed. Post-installation, Ms. Zenke continued to go above and beyond. She assisted in completing additional paperwork for incentives such as the Baltimore County Property Tax Credit and the Maryland Solar Access Grant. In summary, Bee Happy Solar exceeded my expectations at every stage--design, installation, follow-up, and incentive processing. I would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone considering solar, especially if you're looking for a customized approach backed by exceptional service and expertise.

The folks came out in cooperation with BGE to do energy assessments and upgrades to our home…read more Your first thought will be this is a scam. This is not a scam. Work with these people! BGE was very careful in scheduling this assessment so that we were comfortable with the rep from EZ Green Home. He came out as a part of the Empower MD program that we all fund through small surcharges in our electric bills. They upgraded small things in our home that affect our power consumption at no charge (light bulbs, smart-ish power strips, etc). This was all done at no additional charge to us, again because this program is funded by surcharges we all pay in our electric bills. The representative who came out was extremely friendly, very professional and knowledgeable, and also educated us on other programs available for saving money on larger home upgrades. Much of our home was already energy saving, but he gave us 10 LED light bulbs and an energy saving power strip at no charge to us. This was such a beneficial and appreciated visit.

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!

We got panels installed in fall 2025 and got the system turned on in January. Greg answered a million questions and has continued to be our liaison and advocate. They under promised our production and have over delivered on our pepco savings. However, our roof was in rough shape but instead of letting us know that we shouldn't get panels before fixing the roof they said it would be fine and when we replace the roof in ten years they will remove and reinstall the panels for free under warranty. So after some big rains we realized we had roof leaks. Now the leaks were not coming in directly where they installed the panels, just close by. Our roof never had issues before, but with a bunch of guys climbing and hammering into it, there was bound to be issues. Without going into excruciating detail, the sales team has been great but the customer service from the company is lacking unless you get harsh with them. Having to wait 4 months to get panels reinstalled after getting a new roof, the techs not labeling the electrical so reinstall did not go smoothly, and two electrician visits because the first one didn't connect all the panels did not leave us impressed with the service. Finally all is resolved, but it's been a roller coaster. After everything my main takeaway is to make sure your roof is in really good shape before installing solar.
