[Standard Solar] worked diligently through difficult weather… to complete our project. All were polite and helpful no matter the question. They provided the customer with a great sense of confidence and competency. The camaraderie within the crew was easily recognized as a major asset. We would highly recommend Standard Solar.

“Why solar? For us, the timing and our home’s solar exposure were right to go with this renewable clean energy. The timing included generous tax and other credits (Federal, MD, county), and our strong desire to reduce or even zero-out our rising electricity bills (deregulation failed).
Why Standard Solar, Inc.? They are experienced with high-efficiency panels (e.g., SunPower) and good-value panels (e.g., Suntech), easy to work with, and have deep knowledge of solar.
What we like most? Watching our net-meter run backwards at times, and MD Solar Renewable Energy Credits.

“We chose to invest in a Solar Photovoltaic system for several reasons. Between the Energy Credits we will get back and the power we generate we think we'll get our investment back in eight years. The neat thing about getting the solar panels is that you get more interested in watching the electric meter and a Gold Star day is when you generate more energy than you use. The desire to get that next Gold star keeps you watching how you're using energy and thinking about the next energy project. We fell in love with Standard Solar when they did a community presentation. They had already installed a photovoltaic system on one of our neighbor’s house and she was there to describe the process and how their system was doing. Standard Solar made the process easy - they guided us through all the applications and filled out much of the paperwork for us. We're very happy with our decision to go with solar power and Standard Solar.”

“We REALLY APPRECIATE all of your hard work and the entire Standard Solar team. Everyone did an awesome job and should be commended. I do not think that we had one issue from beginning to end. We appreciate your flexibility, dedication to the customer, hard work and managing all of the details that your team completed seamlessly. We are really thankful for Standard Solar helping with all of the certifications and government paperwork for our tax credits. With so much that could go wrong – yet didn’t – we know that it is not accident. We are certain that behind all of this are many people taking the time to do things right. We really appreciate your installation team. They did a great job with little supervision. They took the time to explain what was going on and worked until the job was completed with no issue. It is no less than a huge WOW and why weren’t you over here sooner? My one hope is that you don’t change a thing, but keep doing what you are doing for others. Keep up the good work.”

We are happy to have chosen the folks at Standard Solar as our PV designers and installation team. We researched the market thoroughly before choosing solar professionals, and learned that Standard Solar could provide us with aesthetically beautiful modules for the front roof of our home. At the same time, they respected our budget and listened to our questions. Standard Solar will become the benchmark standard in service, expertise and friendliness in the new renewable energy movement.

Standard Solar is probably the best and most reliable firm or company I have ever dealt with. The people at this company are not only responsive, but their sense of responsibility is second to none (except maybe my dentist). I would rate this company as head-and-shoulders above any home improvement company I have ever encountered in thirty-one years of homeownership. Rating 10+ in all categories!
Barbara G., Silver Spring, MD
Our family decided to go solar to reduce our household greenhouse gas emissions and make our home more eco-friendly. We chose Standard Solar because of their competitive pricing, strong warranties, and friendly service. We have been very happy with our BP Solar modules and Standard Solar has been very responsive to any and all of our questions during and after the installation.
Matthew and Patience B., Silver Spring, MD
We hope all is going well for Standard Solar. Our solar system is still going fine, and after our first full year of operation, we found that it produced 40% of our electricity, which is right about where we expected it to be. We continue to be thrilled!

We just received our first Washington Gas bill since the installation of our Standard Solar water heater. We are happy to report that we used ZERO therms of natural gas during the first full month of operation. Thanks!

Thanks for sending us the video. It's good. It makes going solar seem very possible and nicely addresses the practical aspects as well as the environmental benefits. We're enjoying our solar flowers (Standard Solar pole mounts)!

I found your company because a link to your site appeared when I did a Google search on "Solar Energy Charlotte." Several links were suggested but yours was by far the most consumer friendly for anyone wondering about the possibility of installing a solar home system.
Gregg J., Charlotte, NC
Thank you for getting back to me and for all the information. I found your site doing a Google search on "residential solar energy installation metro dc." A number of links popped up, but yours was the first that seemed to actually fit my search.

The primary reason we "went solar: was to do our part to protect the environment. In D.C. the greatest impact on air quality comes from the use of fossil fuels to generate electricity. By going solar we were able to reduce our carbon footprint while also reducing our monthly energy bill. We also wanted to make choices that positively affect our environment and improve the country's energy security.
The article on our Standard Solar installation in the Washington Times doesn't tell the half of it. You have got to come over on a sunny day and watch the meter flying backwards! It is amazing. Yesterday the meter was running backward at 7:35 AM!
Lisa and Rhone R., Washington, DC
The installation is running extremely well. The equipment has been trouble free so far and the battery backup has done its job on numerous occasions. It has been a pleasure doing business with Standard Solar personnel. Everyone was committed to excellence and the results show.
Bill D., Woodsboro, MD
Thanks to a superb installation by Standard Solar, my BP Solar Integra panels are the envy of my neighborhood as we now get power bills 25% lower than last year! Our system continues to perform flawlessly. All we do is look at our wireless monitor to see how much electricity we're producing and how much CO2 we have NOT produced.
Bob T., Charlotte, NC
The hot water system, along with our solar panels, is running beautifully. We never, ever run out of hot water and we don't have to worry about insta-hot. We're very glad we had the foresight to put the systems in that we did while we could. They're going to continue to pay for themselves for quite some time.
Christine M., Bowie, MD
We are fully satisfied with the job your team has done at our house. Matt has gone out of his way to explain the technical aspects of the installation and to keep us informed of the progress of the job. The whole crew worked efficiently and was most pleasant and courteous to deal with. Watching the electric meter run in reverse gave us a tangible sense of reward and has been a source of great satisfaction!
