MSSI - Maryland Solar Solutions, Inc

I did a ton of research before picking a solar company to work with. I ended up using many different calculators to try and figure out what type of panel and how many kWh would give me the best bang for my buck (return on investment, i.e. minimum number of years payback). I also found out fairly quickly that there is wide variability in panel installers and panels themselves. The bottom line is, after months of research, I finally decided to use MSSI, and 2 months after the install is over, I can say that the time spent was worth it. If you want solar and live in Maryland, save yourself some time and use MSSI. They know what they're doing and are by far the best option for anyone considering solar in the area.

Although I did not end up going with MSSI for my solar project, I did want to leave a positive review for their customer service during the quote process. I had a lot of questions about the process and the system, and Lizzie patiently answered all of them. The visit from Colette, the owner, was very helpful as she is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced in this field. She brought up certain issues that other companies had not, and checked the structure and electrical of the house herself, which I thought was very thorough. When we asked for adjustments in the quote, MSSI was quick to provide them. And, clearly Colette and her company care about getting people on solar power to help the environment. Overall, it was a pleasure to work with this company! The only reason I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is their pricing. As you can read in other reviews, compared to other companies they are more expensive. For me personally, their price differential ultimately was too much to justify, and I went with another local company. But from all I have seen from them, I would expect they would have done a great job!

We had our solar panels installed in early spring of 2019 and were extremely pleased with the entire process. MSSI quoted price was not the lowest but was very competitive (the lowest quoted price we got was from company that also tried to sell us other products and seemed much more interested in selling other things than the actual business of installing solar panels...make of that what you will), but we believe it was worth it because everything was done with the utmost professionalism and quality materials. Colette was absolutely fantastic explaining the ins and outs of solar and making sure everything was done properly. Her team took care of all the paperwork and have been great in explaining how to sell the SRECs we generate. We haven't had any hassles, no chasing people around on the phone, etc. One of our main concerns in getting solar panels was how responsive the company would be to problems with the system arising after installation. We haven't had any issues yet, but, given our experience thus far, feel confident that MSSI would address them in a timely manner.Best contractor we've ever worked with and we could only wish all contractors were like MSSI.

MSSI installed solar panels on my home a few years back. I spent a great deal of time researching this topic and interviewed several contractors to complete the job. MSSI provided the most detailed information, spending the most time with me explaining exactly what my options were and the differences between them. It was plenty clear to me that they were the company to choose to complete the job. Not only did Collette climb on the roof of my home to inspect its condition, and the ability to hold these panels for several years to come, but she also went into my attic to ensure there was sufficient 'structure' to withhold the weight of the panels. Although MSSI was not the least expensive contractor bidding to complete the job, they were certainly the most knowledgeable, credible, and competent. One of my panels recently reported that it was no longer working. MSSI, who monitors my panels (included in the installation at no extra cost) sent me an email notifying me that one panel was no longer operational, and that they would be at my home the following Monday to replace it (covered under the warranty). How awesome is that? I now have an app on my phone which allows me to monitor the functionality of all the panels, so I also can check to ensure the solar panel system is fully operational.I am so pleased that I decided to install a solar panel system within my home. It certainly does reduce the cost of electricity, it is great for the environment, and I actually make a bit of income during the warmer months when the panels 'pump' excess electricity back into the grid. I have never, for a moment, regretted hiring MSSI to install my solar panel system . You won't either.

Maryland Solar Solutions, Inc. is awesome!We were looking at Solar City (Tesla) and after doing more research we picked MSSI and we're glad we did! Last fall, under almost impossible weather conditions they were able to get our system installed before the end of year so we could get our tax credit in 2019. They installed a 11.2 KW system with the latest solar panel technology along with an LG battery as a backup. We did experience some glitches with the software but they were able to resolve them. The web and mobile monitoring applications are fantastic and have allowed us to see how we can reduce our energy consumption. We highly recommend MSSI!Westminster, Maryland
