Perfect experience with Lumina
We heard about Lumina through the nonprofit Solar Switch program. We have been interested in getting solar for many years, but the process of finding a good solar provider and getting a trusted quote was very difficult - until Lumina. Lumina has a team dedicated to helping you learn everything you need to know about the solar process and they keep you informed during the journey. Lumina was excellent with communicating every step and they managed all the paperwork, permits, installation, inspection, and warranty info. It was an incredibly smooth experience and it all happened very quickly. We’re excited and proud to have our home powered with solar, and we have Lumina to thank!

Book with confidence!
We had a fantastic experience using Lumina to install our solar system. Christopher Richardson was incredibly helpful throughout the process and he made it easy to make a well-informed decision. Th installation team was on time, professional, clean and QUICK. They were on site just over 4 hours. Incredible. There were a few delays along the way that were out of Lumina’s control (township and electric company dragging their feet), Christopher and team did a good job of keeping us aware of where the process was and what the next steps would be. My system has only been up and running for 3 days, but so far we are very satisfied with the choice to go with Lumina for this investment.

Expertly planned & executed
Top performance from start (initial contact) to finish (solar system switched on & performing). Lumina delivers as promised both from a commercial & technical perspective. The account manager was well informed, the back office managed the paperwork & permits in a very timely fashion, the installation team was fast, efficient & clean. The solar system & supporting software perform flawlessly.

Very professional from sales to implementation. The quality is excellent and unlike Trinity, you can actually use this solar system as an electrical generator (backup). Our electric bills over the summer months were almost zero; sold quite a bit of electric back via the two-way meter. We are beyond pleased with all aspects to date.

Great service
From start to finish the experience with Lumina Solar and Pete Hayes was great. We never felt that we were alone in the process. Installation was quick and efficient! And on top of all that the savings are great!

Very pleased
My husband and I are very pleased with Lumina Solar. Unlike some of the other companies, they actually come to your house for an evaluation before developing the project plan. And they do the installation themselves, rather than subcontracting it. Everyone we dealt with was knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone considering solar.

Great workmanship but not happy with a few things.
I was really excited with the idea of getting a rooftop PV system, and Lumina had really good reviews. Their price was nearly identical to another very highly rated company in my area and I liked the look of the REC panels so we went with Lumina. During the initial sizing I proposed a symmetric configuration that was pleasing to the eye and was told 'we can discuss the exact configuration during the engineering phase'. Well, I was never contacted until all of the approvals were complete and at that point it was too late to get the configuration that I wanted. The Lumina configuration was unsymmetric and had 1 fewer panel on the highly productive south facing roof. It was not the end of the world, but I take pride in the aesthetics of my house. In the end I was able to get them to make it symmetric, but with the one less panel in the good orientation. The biggest problem, however is that the panels on the front of the house are in a nearly ideal orientation, facing almost south, and with a roof pitch that is good for this latitude. The 400+ watt panels are oriented well enough that they should be able to generate close to 400 watts during the middle of the day (cloud cover permitting). Lumina specified and installed 300 watt inverters so those panels never produce more than 300 watts. Instead of a sine wave for production I get a curve that is clipped flat on top. 300 watt inverters are ok for the back of the house where the sun angles are not as ideal and the panels cannot produce as much power, but not for the front. So why am I giving them 4 stars? Well, their Operations department that scheduled and performed the installation did a really good job and were a delight to work with. The workmanship is really good and everything has been functioning for the first 16 months of operation. There were no surprises in the pricing.

Jump! Solar Instal! Now!
Lumina Solar ARE a great company for you to jump into greener energy. Tim Cooke (and associates) spent the time explaining to us about the technology, about the benefits (with calculations) based on our usage. We had plenty of questions and they took the time to know about our situation and answered to their best effort. We are 6 months into our solar installation and our PEPCO bill for this summer was totally obliterated as compared to same period in 2023. This should have been an easy decision years ago, seeing our bill (even a check from PEPCO!) has made us advocates. Get onto Solar, fast. The savings are there. In addition to less PEPCO reliance, is the Solar Renewable Energy Credits from the utilities, which means you are helping PEPCO (and by extension the USA) meet its green energy goals. Lumina Solar were the perfect partner in helping us go Solar!

This is the best company that I ever had to deal with. From start to finish of the project they were great.

Great installation experience
I recently had a great experience with Lumina Solar! From the first consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions. Jack Wood took the time to explain everything clearly, making the switch to solar energy smooth and effortless. The installation was quick and efficient (about a half day). I highly recommend Lumina Solar to anyone considering solar energy.
