UPDATE: The company has new ownership although some of the old contracts are still managed by the original company and staff. Everything has been made right by both the new and old companies which I appreciate. COVERED MY SKYLIGHT, LEFT DEBRIS AND GHOSTED ME. They came and installed a different system and design than what I agreed to have placed on my roof. They also left metal debris and cardboard all over my yard, busted a stone paver with their ladder and trampled my hydrangea in the front yard. I let customer service know and Joy Kangas said they'd be back the following day to clean up the debris and put the agreed upon design in place. The installers refused to put the correct design for the array which was covering my skylight and didn't clean up any of the debris. I have contacted the office several times since and they refuse to even respond at all after a week of waiting and multiple emails. The COO was also contacted as well as the construction manager. These people just don't care. I plan to file a complaint with the city and BBB as they didn't do the work according to the permits and aren't even courteous enough to respond. I'll likely end up having them removed and switching to Tesla since they refuse to honor the contract or find a solution that works for both parties. Having someone disrespect you and your home is just a no-go for me.

Response from the owner

Thank you for your feedback. I believe you may have the wrong company (?) We don't have a Joy Kangas that works for us. And this is not Solar Solutions business practice, our installs match our drawings in every case and skylights are never covered. Can you please contact me directly to get more information on this? My email is jdelkurd@solarsolutiondc.com.

Qasir rebooted my solar panel system after a DC power outage had stopped the reporting of the solar-generated electricity to PEPCO. He was professional, solved the problem and put a friendly face to Solar Solution.

Thank you for your feedback Randy! Glad we were able to resolve the issue for you!

The Solar Solution’s team in DC is awesome!! Customer service is a 10⭐️. Tyler and the Regional Manager Joy are top notch in their knowledge of the systems and associated matters. Thank you both for helping me to fully understand the system that is on my house. The panels work great!!! I see a fantastic difference in my electric bill!!! I am so glad I invested into the solar panels by leasing to own and to also have Solar Solutions to manage them. Thanks again!!

Response from the owner

So glad you are seeing a positive impact from your solar panels and and with your experience with us!

JD and his Solar Solutions team demonstrate the best of business-2-consumer practices. We had a complex problem related to work Solar Solutions provided two years ago. Without hesitation, this problem was assessed immediately, and resolved thoroughly with excellent third-party vendors. The personal attention and concern we received is rare these days! Customers 4-ever...viva Solar Solutions DC!

Response from the owner

This company was superb when they installed my system and for maintaining it for the first 9 years ago. They responded promptly and thoroughly to the minor issues that cropped up from time to time. When my panels were losing efficiency faster than anticipated, they swapped out a bunch of them for new, larger panels at no cost years before they fell below the threshold that would have required replacements under the warranty. Apparently it is now under new ownership and customer service has gone way downhill. They nickle and dime for every minor issue and coordination and communications repair folks is poor. After removing my panels and replacing them after the roof was replaced, they did not bother to turn on the system, much less check its function. At first they were going to charge me $300 to turn it on. When I turned it on and discovered multiple problems with a modem and some of the inverters, there were endless rounds of emails before they actually sent a crew out to check the connections and additional back and forth until the malfunctioning equipment was replaced. Much of that would have been avoided had they simply turned on the system to make sure the modems were functioning and the inverters reporting. And while the supplier replaced 2 inverters, per the warranty , they charged $400 to spend 15 minutes on a flat roof swapping out a good inverter for a bad one.

We picked Solar Solution to put photovoltaic panels on the roof of our DC row house in 2021. The installation team did a great job, and our solar system works flawlessly. Solar Solution gets five stars for designing and installing a system that performs even better than we expected.

Response from the owner

Thank you so much for the positive feedback James! So glad to could deliver and exceed your expectations!

Great work all around! The team at Solar Solutions was extremely professional and efficient in everything they did, from permitting in a historic district (normally a nightmare in DC), to optimizing the number of panels, to a quick and tidy installation that didn't even take a full day. Absolutely recommend them to anyone interested in solar for your DC home!

Response from the owner

Thank you James for your feedback! Really glad we were able to meet your expectations with great service and product. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you in the future!
