Customer Testimonial: Juli Mosnes’ Experience with Convert Solar

Installation Date: February 2022

Juli Mosnes and her family were looking into renewable energy options when they discovered Convert Solar. After researching and comparing different companies, they found that Convert Solar offered the best combination of customer service and local presence, which was crucial for them.

“We started looking at renewable energy and just doing our research and just kind of came across Convert Solar,” Juli explains. “We did a little bit of pricing out and looking at other competitors. We were just really happy with what they were supporting for with customer service and everything that they stand for as a company. It was really important for us to go with someone that was local, someone that was going to be here boots on the ground, and just make sure that we’re taken care of.”

In February 2022, Convert Solar installed a 6.48 kW solar system for Juli and her family. The installation process was smooth and efficient, exceeding their expectations.

“Convert Solar customer service has been stellar since day one,” Juli recalls. “Once we wanted to get the install, they were immediately on it. They were able to get the install in quickly and efficiently. They were so friendly and on top of things, and we were just really appreciative of how well they took care of us as customers.”

Juli’s expectations were not only met but exceeded. She was pleasantly surprised by the significant savings on her electric bill.

“Our expectations have not only been met but they’ve really been exceeded,” Juli says. “We were never expecting to see such low bills. We were thinking maybe $100 here or there saved, but to be able to say that we pretty much don’t have an electric bill because of these solar panels is just really impressive. We kind of chuckle about it all the time, but it’s really cool to see just how efficient they’re running and how much money that’s saving us in the long run.”

One of the highlights for Juli was the incentives she received in the first year, totaling $5,412.57. These incentives significantly reduced the system’s upfront cost, making the investment even more attractive.

“The incentives made a big difference,” Juli explains. “It made the decision to go solar a no-brainer. I would encourage anyone considering solar to take advantage of these incentives while they last.”

Juli Mosnes’ experience with Convert Solar is a testament to the impact that quality solar installation can have. Not only has she significantly reduced her energy costs, but she has also contributed to a more sustainable future.

“I would definitely recommend Convert Solar to friends and family,” Juli concludes. “In fact, we already have, and a few of them have been able to get their install in. It’s really nice to know that it’s a company you can trust, rely on, and know that no matter what, they’re going to be able to fix any issues and just be with you in the long haul.”

We had a great experience with Convert Solar from start to finish. The salesperson, Brian Gearing, was knowledgeable, low pressure, and communicable. They did everything they said they would do and my system works great. I interviewed many other companies and decided on Convert and I’m glad I did. Highly recommend!

I was pleased with the final work. They beat schedule and did a professional job. The only issue was communication. There were 4 iterations of the design on the roof. I also had problems figuring out what the latest status was. I tend to want be able to know the current status of events, and could not always get this information.

Convert Solar may not be the cheapest company for Solar, but I am betting they are one of the best. There is more inter relationship between the Sales, installers, the other management. And very amazing hospitality. It feels more like you are connecting to a family. Ashley is amazing. I know that she goes beyond tg he call of duty. And all the electrians are more a brotherhood than a team. Everyone cares about what they are doing and gives of themselves to the client. I am greatful God led me to them.

My personal experience with Convert Solar has been consistently exceptional. It is rare today to find a company that goes above and beyond every time you contact them but Convert Solar does this as a regular way of business. I have been helped a few times by Alexa Langley, and she is beyond phenomenal every time. Alexa knows her stuff and has been immeasurably helpful in answering questions and helping us understand the true value of solar panels. She is a tremendous asset to us as homeowners with solar panels. If you are looking to get solar panels, I highly recommend Convert Solar with every confidence you will be as happy with them as we are.

Process was ok, clean up from venders was non existent. Still to be determined on system performance. Communication was ok, meaning after sale questions took longer to get answers. Will update post and ratings is that comes in a or better then expected. This is a 2.5 experience slightly subpar at the best.

Quite good experience through installation, but communication since then has been sorely lacking. I think this company needs to add some staff in the customer support area.

Convert Solar is the absolute best solar company out there. My wife and I did months of vetting before choosing to go with them and we are so glad we did! The install went smoothlyand the crew was outstanding. Fours years in and no regrets. Their response time to some minor repairs we've needed has been on point. Tom recently came out to check on us and went above and beyond to make sure everything was as it should be. We highly recommend them and have to many of our friends!

The solar panel install team was professional, respectful, and hard working. They worked through a couple of rain downpours and installed the solar panels in one day. The electrical team mounted the equipment on day 1, wired up on day 2, and completed configurations on day 3. Conscientious team, mounting the equipment with an eye for symmetry and practicality. Excellent work!!!

Convert Solar is the best. They were so easy to work with, not pushy at all, and communicated about the process from start to finish. I have reached out to them several times since installation and they are always super quick to get back to me to answer questions about my solar setup! Looking to expand to add some additional panels to cover an electric car - will not turn to anyone except Convert Solar for the job!

Convert Solar installed a 10 kW residential rooftop solar system for us in Charlottesville a little over a year ago, and we're very pleased with how things have been going. Installation was uneventful, and Convert Solar worked with Dominion Energy to get our system turned on and operating seamlessly. Convert Solar was quick to notice and address a hardware issue to get us back online, generating more electricity than we normally use, so we get energy credits or can sell the overproduction to Dominion. We like the fact that the system was installed by the same company that sold us the system, and we have the confidence that Convert Solar will be there to maintain the system into the future. We heartily recommend Convert Solar as a reliable renewable energy partner.

I’ve got a fantastic setup thanks to Convert Solar. I originally had a door-to-door solar company pitch to me and it just felt waayyy too expensive for a half sized system. So I shopped around and a coworker recommended Convert Solar. Never been happier from start to finish. I’ve had my system for 6months now and it’s been awesome to see the production and savings. The team at CS is personable, professional, and easy to work with.After my install, unfortunately I noticed a leak in my roof from heavy rain. Sucks but these things happen, can’t be perfect all the time. What shows that CS is the top solar company in the Virginia Beach area is they had no issue coming out to inspect, locate, and patch the leak ASAP. Even reached out to me after the next heavy rain to verify my house is water tight again.If I ever need solar in the future I will only use Convert Solar. Thanks!

Convert Solar epitomizes everything you’re looking for in a solar company. They were never too ‘pushy’ unlike other macro installers during my initial Q&A with them. They swiftly answered any of my questions. They adapted to any personal requests I made regarding type of panel, amount, etc. And the whole install process was smooth and easy for me. I even had a microinverter that went bad within the first few months of use, and they were out the next day after it went out to replace it. I had no idea until they showed up?! If I could do it again, I would 100% install with Convert Solar without hesitation.

I called to ask a question concerning my solar panels. Someone named Jordan answered the phone immediately. He was extremely kind, patient and knowledgeable when he answered all of my questions and explained in a way that was understandable. I have been a convert solar customer for almost a year and I am pleased with the company.

My experience with this company has been very good. I received a few quotes from different companies and there’s was very competitive. The sales rep Melissa has been very helpful in providing information but really what has prompted me to write this amazing review is their service rep Jordan. He is amazingly responsive and really on top of our system to ensure we’re getting the maximum output. Right after the install I was hearing some buzzing sounds from our panel and he came out on a Sunday afternoon to get this fixed. Also, While we were on vacation he actually came by the house because he noticed a few of the panels were not performing as they were supposed to. I am very happy we signed out with this company and our panels look amazing! I am awaiting one final thing to be completed for the job to be done but so far I’m very happy with their service and product.

I contracted with Convert Solar to install panels on our roof. From the very first contact, the staff was professional, responsive, and timely. I was always kept apprised of progress of our project. It was completed on time, on budget, and passed all inspections. Installers, electricians, and staff were all pleasant to work with. I am particularly impressed Dylan Kowal who went above and beyond what could have been expected to make sure our needs were met and we were not sold anything we didn’t need. I cannot recommend this company more highly.

I started the solar due diligence process in February. I spoke with four companies and am very happy I took the time to pick the right solar supplier. Convert Solar made solid commitments and met every one of them. Dylan, the representative, was incredibly knowledgeable and professional; the installation went better than expected; and the system is generating more than I thought it would. The entire team was a pleasure to work with. Convert Solar gets my heartiest recommendation!

Had the sales person come out. Def not pushy but signed up. Installation was great. I did have a prob from where the placement of the panels was diff from the plans. I also did not like how line was ran on the side of the building. I mentioned this and they came out and rerouted the wire on my concern.....def a recommended company for meMark S

I had a great experience with Convert-Solar. Every aspect of the process went smooth. They offered me a great price, were experts in solar and installed a solar system without issue. The installers went above and beyond. They routed a cable through my attic in such a way to optimize the cosmetic experience from the exterior. Highly recommend this company. After the system was installed, I discovered solar had an added benefit of reflecting or absorbing heat. My house was cooler and the HVAC didn't have to work as hard to keep up.

Just had my power company come out and change over to my new meter for solar. Immediately called Convert Solar. They were fabulous! walked me through final process with turning the system on while answering all my questions as well. Finally, they helped me with the application download and setup.Now, I am solar! These guys and Earth Right Mid-Atlantic have been outstanding, prompt, and quick from the very beginning.Thank you very much!!

After almost a year of enjoying my Convert Solar installed system on my house I called with a quick question. Jordan answered quickly, looked up my account and gave me what I needed. The energy production from my roof has been great, along with the continued customer support from Convert. There is a real benefit from choosing a local company established in the community when purchasing a system you expect to use for 30 years!

Let me preface and state that I am individual that seeks out local business as opposed to big chains. I had already made the immediate decision to get solar on our new home the day we had moved in. When we began calling local solar companies, those that we did meet with did not give us exactly what we were looking for. They were either not giving us enough panels, offset, or to much in terms of pricing vs competitors. When I contacted VA energy Solutions not only did they hear us loud and clear they understood our urgency to immediately get the ball rolling.When we had met with Steven I had instantly told him that I wanted as many panels as possible so that we can get our offset as close to if not over 100%. After initial inputs and testing and then coming back later on after they had gotten drone footage, they were able to get 62 panels on our home. This put our offset at ~90% and mind you this is with many many trees around us that were blocking potential energy from hitting our panels. We have since gotten down some of the trees and are still working on getting rid of the other trees that are blocking the panels at sunrise and sunset, once the said trees are down we should easily be at 100% offset if not extraordinarily close.On the day of the installation for the 62 panels the workers had arrived at our home at 7am, and they did not leave until almost 9pm. These workers wanted to ensure that the panels were installed on the day of and not a day later, they worked through such high temperatures. We had given them lots of water, and Gatorade and even snacks for how hard they worked on getting everything done. It was surreal with how much they pushed themselves to ensure that the job was done on the same day. Our installation is an uncommon one with the way our roof is and with how many we had to be installed mind you. Overall the experience has been great and we are looking forward to being able to have our 100% power once we get the rest of the trees down. It is going to be great to see the lack of an energy bill from dominion once we are at that point.

I knew for my new home I wanted Solar and I interviewed several companies before deciding on Convert Solar. Why Convert? First, they educated me on solar not to sell me but to explain how it worked, what questions I needed to ask them and others and where to look for independent information. Then I asked them who their strongest competitor was and they immediately gave a name of a company that i had heard was good. I interviewed the other company and liked them a lot and their pricing was the same. So why again? Because they took multiple steps to educate me. Have had follow up time to talk with me way after the sale. Oh, and my solar works fantastic in that Convert estimated that solar would only cover about 78% of the cost of power at the house, today it is covering 100%.

JAMES FAST

18:40 10 Jun 22

Excellent experience. No gimmicks of "discounting" the cost by my tax incentive. Everything went according to plan with exception of needing to get a roof vent moved. I pointed this out to the sales folks and they should have just told me to take care of that before installation rather than saying it was going to be fine. Installers had to stop and come back another day to finish after I got the vent moved.

My experience with Solar Energy was A+ with Convert SolarTony was great and very helpful; he gave me an awesome deal which was much better than anyone in the solar market. He explained everything and showed comparative data from the start and handled our 1,000+ questions that we had.Convert solar team did an awesome job installing the panels; the crew was very professional and walked me through the entire process during installation and adjusted the solar panel according to the way we were anticipating. Overall, this project required very little from me once I made the initial choices and was managed well from start to finish. The timelines were met, the build was fast, and it looks good. The quality of consulting and professionalism were excellent. The electrician also conducted excellent work (wiring the panel) and explaining all the information. The best part, they also cleaned up everything (inside and outside) the house after installation (left no debris behind). We are happy with the installation and looking forward to many years of solar bliss. I would recommend Tony for Solar needs and his team to anyone. Thank you to everyone on the team. Great job!

We got solar panels done on our very first home and it was definitely a big risk and and a big decision.We interviewed many solar companies but eventually found honesty and real customer service with Convert Solar. Our salesperson was Jeremy Davis and my husband and I were so pleased with the work they did. Many solar companies try to confuse you and aren't clear about certain terms in the contract and what they provide. With Jeremy, he proved us wrong. All our questions were answered and explained extremely well (an we were very detailed with the contract). Jeremy provided a customer service that we did not experience with any other solar power company. He truly wanted the best for us and our home and his enthusiasm for solar and his career showed through every conversation.I highly recommend convert solar. They offer competitive prices and strong customer service that puts them above the rest. Our panels have been doing well and we couldn't be happier.If you work with convert solar, ask for Jeremy - he will make your experience 10x better.

I worked with Convert Solar to get a system that was installed five years ago by a different company (that is no longer in business) repaired. I specifically worked with Jordan, and I must say he was fantastic. The system was completely non-functional due to a "DC Isolation Fault" (it is a SolarEdge system). Jordan had everything up and running again in just a few hours, he cleaned up behind himself, and answered every question I had. Would have went with them initially, if I knew about their business in 2017. Would highly recommend their services to anyone that is seeking them.

I would like to start by saying I’m a very Skeptical person with anything new that I don’t fully understand. With that said I really appreciate the professional approach that Convert Solar had with the initial call and throughout the whole install process. I want to especially shout out appreciation to Freddie(our salesman) who took the time to explain everything so that we felt completely comfortable. I would strongly recommend using this company to take care of all your solar power needs.

I’m leaving a review now, after having my solar panels installed about a year and a half ago by Convert Solar. I am so happy to have gone with this company for my solar panels! I love that they are a Virginia company, and they have never let me feel like I just spent a ton of money with a company and then was forgotten about. They have been just a call, text, or email away, for any of my questions about my system, and I just wanted to let everyone know - I couldn’t be happier with this company! 😊

Convert Solar!!! Especially Jordan (Tech Guy) and Mara (spelling? Customer Service). They do a great job!!! I have had my 28 panel solar array for about two years and I am starting to see a massive impact to my electric bill. Very Happy with Convert!!!Shopped around to a few Solar companies and Convert is the standard!!!

The interactions during my entire process of installation was remarkable! I appreciated the professionalism, work ethic, timeliness, attention to detail, and responsiveness of this company. Julie, my project manager was EVERYTHING! She was able to quickly get my needs met and questions answered. I am so thankful too to those who were tasked to tend to my needs. After my install and inspection, I had a coincidental (we discovered after troubleshooting, thoroughly) power outage to only 1 section of my home. Hunter and his supervisor figured out the problem and fixed it (unrelated to the solar panel install). They went above and beyond. For this too, I am so grateful! I highly recommend Convert Solar when you decide to go solar! 🙂

We are so happy with our solar system. We have had it for two years and love that we are doing something for the environment. The system was well planned and we have just a little more solar power than our consumption these last two years. Their service has been above expectation. Twice in the two years our inverter failed and once they came out to replaced it before we were aware that it was not functioning properly. They are just as good with their warrantee service and support as they were with the planning and installation of the system.

I'm ecstatic to share my experience and install with Convert Solar! Fred and Pierre gave an awesome presentation to my wife and I and answered EVERY question and concern that we had! Install was today and I couldn't be more pleased and happy with the professionalism and work done! Roofers/Panel install (Matt and his team (sorry I cant remember all of your names) ) were super professional and explained the process before they started! I hovered a lot (sorry lol) but I had so many "what if's" circling in my head and I didn't want a rush job! Matt and the team didn't mind and continued to make me at ease with their work! The Electricians Robert and Cameron were awesome! The level of anxiety I feel whenever it comes to electricity and the thought of having to do anything inside of my electrical panel were intensified when adding wires, junction boxes and power sources to the mix! But these two gentlemen quickly extinguished those thoughts of uncertainty and doubt with their knowledgeable explanations, installation and all around professionalism! A few more steps are needed before the system is completely up and running but I write this review from my couch, relaxed and without any cares or regrets! Thanks Convert Solar, everyone mentioned and those that were here but I didn't get your names! My wife and I appreciate you all!

Convert Solar has kept us informed every step of the way, fully and patiently explained the process of going solar, and have been extremely responsive in each encounter with them to include coming out to our home 1 hour after reporting a panel error and fixing it immediately! They even followed the visit up with a phone call to ensure great service!

My experience with Convert Solar has been amazing. Fred MacArthur was a wonderful salesman that explained the entire process honestly and did not hold anything back. The install crew were super professional and had the install of 20 panels complete within 5 hours. I have had an absolutely great experience with the company and 10/10 recommend it for anyone looking to convert!!!

We retrofitted an existing home with a southwest exposure in Virginia's Northern Neck in spring 2021. The first step in the process was a visit by a sales representative who inspected the site. This included looking at rafters in the attic and running a drone to construct a heat map of the roof surface. He also looked at a year's worth of utility bills. With that information he furnished an estimate which we accepted and the install was scheduled. The installation crew consisted of four people to install roof panels and an electrician and assistant to connect into a home system, through the transfer switch for an emergecy generator. The entire install took 4-hours. This was a well-planned, custom installation that was efficiently implemented on-site. Outstanding!

Sales representative was great , knowledgeable and answered all my questions. The guys showed up on time as scheduled. My system was installed and operational the same day. I highly recommend Convert Solar. My electric bill is only about $9.00 per month and that is for the utility service and taxes. Love it, Thank you Convert Solar!

My experience working with the folks at Convert Solar has been truly awesome! Mara Gianini did a fantastic job leading me through the many steps in the project from helping with the technical specs through the installation process and the inspection/certification effort. I could not be more pleased. I have to say also that I was particularly impressed by Winston and his installation crew. Their level of professionalism was evident from the moment they arrived at my home until they packed up for the day. They answered all of my questions, were responsive to my concerns, and were incredibly polite and well spoken. My hat is off to the entire Convert Solar team.

Installation crew was spectacular! Got all panels and electrical connections nicely done in less than a day! Job completed looks neatly done and works very efficiently! Finance and price is very affordable. No money out of pocket was needed! Bow i am just enjoying producing my own clean energy and no more power bills! Love it!
