Reviews of local pros in Reston, Virginia

My husband and I had a stellar experience with Sky NRG from start to finish. They were hands-down the best contractor/business that we have worked with, and we have worked with about 20 or so in the last 4-5 years alone, from all sorts of different trades. Megan was always thorough and prompt with answering questions. We didn't get the run around and felt that she addressed all of our concerns. We never felt like that were trying to push the sale. We got constant communication regarding when each step was going to occur well in advance so that we were able to adequately plan our schedule. They always arrived on time, from the consultation to the site surveys to the install and final inspections. The team entire team was extremely courteous, taking care to keep the work areas extremely clean. They always wore masks when inside the home because they knew we had a young child. The work was impeccable. They worked with us to ensure that everything was installed cleanly and discreetly (there was no extra conduit present on the exterior or interior of the house). They were mindful to preserve the clean aesthetic of our home, which we greatly appreciated. Even though they had to cut a small section of drywall inside to run some lines, which they told us well in advance, and it wasn't their job to replace the dry wall, they kindly cut a brand new piece of dry wall to cover the opening the wall so that it was easy for us to replace the old piece that was removed. We have an older home and the support structure for the roof is original to the house and thus is delicate. We spoke to Robert and he understood right away. They never used nail guns. They pre drilled!!! It sounds simple but no one does this even when we have asked. Even the roofers used nail guns and caused cracks in the original 1x6 sheathing boards! We looked in the attic after the installation and found not one crack. There was not one loose nail, screw or debris left over when they were done. They checked with us if they had questions regarding how we wanted things to be done. It was clearly that they wanted to do a good job and we're not rushing through the job. Frankly, this is the best experience we have ever had with any business/company/contractor. We strongly recommend Sky NRG. We researched and spoke with other solar installers but we felt that they were trying too hard to sell their products and services without being able to completely answer our questions.

Exceptionally professional experience with SkyNRG from start to finish. Installation quality is notably superior to anything else we've seen in nearby residential solar installations. I only wish they would have offered to paint the conduit that runs along the gutters so that it would blend in that much better. But the conduit is well concealed and not noticeable unless you really look for it. Highly recommended!

I can't say enough great things about Sky Solar. They were immediately responsive to my inquiries, (kept me fully abreast through the entire process), prepared a thorough report for the Reston Association Review Board (all I had to do was forward it!). Their office personnel, installers and electrician all did a most professional job. Their friendliness, and competence were truly amazing. I would fully recommend you choose Sky NRG Solar Inc. if you choose to install solar energy for your home

This is a great company! I contacted SkyNRG Solar about installing roof solar panels with a battery backup system after reading multiple great reviews about the company. My experience was just as positive as those reviews. SkyNRG responded to my initial query very promptly. Megan came to my home for a feasibility assessment and walked me through all the essentials. She was very patient with my numerous questions, and always straightforward with her answers. There was no hard sell, no over promising, and no evasiveness. The contract was clear and concise. After signing, the level of professionalism and great customer service from the whole staff that interacted with me was superb. The work crews were highly skilled, efficient, personable, and they left a clean job site. The extensive electrical work they did (because of the battery system) easily passed inspection. I love having this solar power system on my home, and enthusiastically recommend, with no hesitation, SkyNRG for anyone considering solar. This is a Five Star review because SkyNRG is truly a Five Star company.

We just had an excellent experience with skyNRG Solar, installing solar panels to provide all our electricity. The owner, Robert Mudry, was very helpful in explaining each part of the process as we went along, and his guys were super-efficient in getting the panels installed. And this extended all the way through getting Dominion approval.

Just a couple of notes before I provide the details of the costs and expected savings.
Several states [eg. CA] have already removed net metering provisions. Which means new installations in their states will NOT be eligible to sell their excess electric generation back to the utility, reducing the payback [already installed systems have been grandfathered]. VA has not yet adopted this position, but is said to be considering. Point being, that you may want to consider solar sooner, rather than later if you are thinking you might want to go this route.
Current Federal administration seems to be headed toward reducing all benefits from non-oil energy savings. This has two implications: 1) it is not impossible to conceive that the current Federal government might do all it can to remove the 30% tax credit; and 2) there are a lot of people out there right now offering solar in a variety of schemes - BUT with all the tumult in this field, it is expected that their ranks might be thinning. Therefore if you do choose to go ahead, try to choose a firm more likely to be around to honor their guarantees.

Now the numbers: our house is a bit over 2,300 sq ft and we have a gas boiler providing part of our heating system. The size of your solar array will depend on your electric bills. Our electric bill averaged $126/mo over the last 33 months. Depending on roof orientation and shading, some homes do better than others. This impacts the payback time, some homes approach 7.5 yrs payback time, some are at over 11 yrs. Our house was not the best, thus the 10 yr payback.

We were concerned that installing a major solar system for our home would be very disruptive. But SKY NRG made the experience seamless and easy. They were professional, schedule oriented, and thoroughly explained each step of the process. We now have an amazing solar panel and battery system that has exceeded our expectations, performing very well under the recent 100 degree summer weather in our area!

I can't say enough about Sky NRG Solar. We hired them to install solar on our residential property in the spring of 2021. I heard pitches from 4 different solar companies, and Megan at Sky NRG was the most responsive, respectful, knowledgeable, and least pushy sales rep; she was such a pleasure to work with. She was incredibly patient in explaining the ins and outs of going solar, and once we signed with Sky NRG, she stayed involved in making sure they whole process went perfectly smoothly. From sales pitch to signing to installation to collecting all that beautiful sunlight power, the whole process has been breezy. The installation team was very respectful of our property and kept us updated throughout the process. Highly highly recommend this company!!

I researched and evaluated about 5-6 companies who install residential Solar Power plants. With my engineering roots, I can confidently state Sky NRG is the best out there, bar none. They optimize for cost and generation efficiency like no other company - things such as selection of the inverters (DC to AC conversion) that best match the panel's production capacity, so that when you pay per watt of solar panel capacity installed, you get the most energy converted to AC power. 2. They are not rushed and do a very neat and clean job, taking care of little things like following edges and contours of your roof and siding, etc. in a manner that the conduit wire pipes don't scream for attention!. 3. Their entire team is courteous and attentive to your needs.

In short, look no further if you care for a well-engineered and aesthetically pleasing solution delivered professionally in a timely manner.

I hired Sky NRG Solar to install several new outlets and a subpanel in my garage. I was very impressed with the quality of their work, their professionalism, and their punctuality. They arrived on time, completed the job within the estimated time frame, and cleaned up after themselves. They also tested everything and walked me through the multi-GCI setup to ensure I understood the many failsafes built into the system.
The new outlets have made my garage more convenient and versatile. I can now use my power tools, charge my electric car, operate a lift, and listen to music without hassle. The electricians also advised me on how to avoid overloading the circuit and how to prevent fire hazards.
I highly recommend Sky NRG Solar to anyone who needs any electrical work done in their home or business. They are reliable, courteous, and skilled. Juan in particular was on of the best electricians I have ever worked with.

Sky NRG Solar did an outstanding job and I highly recommend them. I had been thinking of getting a solar system since we moved into our new home we had built. I have a good friend who was also looking and he contacted 3 companies. After getting his feedback I contacted Sky NRG Solar and I chose them to do my installation. They explained the process and handled all the permitting as well as all the details. They keep me informed as the approvals progressed and when we scheduled the installation it was completed as promised. The whole team was great to work with and they did an excellent job. Being a smaller company based locally in Reston, you get to meet all of their team. I found everyone to be friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I am completely satisfied with the system and their customer service and would recommend them to anyone looking to add a solar system.

I recently had the pleasure of working with SkyNRGSolar for a complete solar panel remapping project, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, SkyNRGSolar's customer service was outstanding. They were always responsive, helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction.

I have only positive things to say about Sky NRG for their excellent customer service and expert solar installation. Megan, our project lead, played a crucial role in keeping communication smooth and offering support for our many questions and emails. The engineers took our specific needs and customized the system for optimal performance.

The install team was thorough, attentive to detail, and patiently answered any questions. We especially appreciated their attention to ensuring that the wiring was fit in as unobtrusively as possible with the exterior of our home. The personalized touch from the owner, who made visits during both install days, and the support from everyone on the team truly made a difference in our experience.

Sky NRG Solar did a fantastic job with our solar installation from start to finish. Their entire team was knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. Megan, Rob, and Elliott all treated our house like it was their own. A lot of care was put into the design of the system, the selection of the components, and the installation details. Sky NRG takes pride in very clean-looking installations. They did not disappoint. They used an aluminum mounting frame under their panels that was able to span over some vents on our roof. This gave us an installation without ugly gaps or steps in the panel layout. They also did not run unsightly conduit along the roof. All of the electrical wiring was hidden from view. The very cool Solar Edge app provides real-time monitoring of both production and consumption. The overall quality of the system is excellent, and price was very competitive.

I waited 2 months after my installation to post this review.  I can confidently say that Sky NRG Solar has been an amazing solar partner.  I was referred to them by a friend who was extremely happy with their work.  After evaluating 3-4 solar companies, I selected Sky NRG Solar.  Every aspect of the process (detailed proposal, contracting, onsite evaluation, permitting, installation, net metering and final county approval) was completed efficiently and to my satisfaction.  After installation, they provided guidance to easily enroll in the SREC marketplace.  Within a month, my friend received his referral bonus ($500).  I strongly endorse Sky NRG Solar for anyone who is interested in pursuing a solar solution.  Thanks again Sky NRG!

Robert from Sky NRG came out to replace a bad communications board in my SolarEdge inverter, after my monitoring service was unable to find an installer to do it. He did an outstanding job and mentioned a couple of important items that would benefit my system (whole house surge protector and consumption meter). Charles and Alex came out a few days later and did a great job installing both items for a reasonable price and Robert was able to assist me in switching from my former national monitoring company to SkyNRG, which is so much better because he is local ... if there are any issues with my system, I will know much quicker, and they will be able to repair it, which was so not the case with my former monitoring service. I am also able to use the SolarEdge app now which provides me with so much more information about my systems production. Robert is honest, patient, and explained what he was doing, helping me to learn a lot about my inverter. His employees Alex and Charles, and Jason and Dmitri from a previous job (panel critter guard installation on a really, really hot 90 degree day) were equally patient and competent, explaining as they went along. Great company and I highly recommend them!!

I have nothing but great things to say about Sky NRG. We shopped around quite a bit before finding them and between price, professionalism, quality, and honesty, no one came close. We've had the panels installed for over 5 months now and they've been operating flawlessly. Our electric bill this month was $19! It's so exciting seeing the system production against consumption on the real-time dashboard that comes with the SolarEdge inverter. Robert and his crew were extremely courteous and knowledgeable. Word spread in our neighborhood and 4 other homes also went with Sky NRG all which have been extremely pleased with their systems. Going solar now is a no-brainer, and going with Sky NRG is even more so.

I want to give my strongest recommendation for Sky NRG Solar. I had a complex, 20KW ground-mounted solar power system installed at my property in Leesburg, VA in 2022, and I couldn’t be happier. From the beginning, Robert and his staff were professional, knowledgeable, flexible and accessible throughout the process. They walked me through all aspects of the project, and were very patient as I completed my parts. I no longer have an electric bill beyond NOVEC’s $16.38 mandatory monthly fee. This was a complex project with multiple batteries, three 200-amp breaker panels, and a giant solar array. You really can’t go wrong by choosing Sky NRG Solar. They have deep experience in all aspects of a solar power project, and don’t just “set it and forget it” like so many other companies do. With Sky NRG Solar you’re getting the power production you want, with the customer experience and long-term relationship you need for this kind of endeavor. You will not be disappointed by choosing Sky NRO Solar!

I did a TON of research into solar energy companies in the DC metro area, and this one truly deserves top marks. We had several door-to-door solar "sales" people walk through our neighborhood pushing way more expensive systems, and we are very happy we didn't go with those other companies. SkyNRG had the most competitive pricing, and they are very professional in guiding homeowners through the entire process. They are not just salesmen and they actually care about their design and installation (and your home). They were flexible with timing and talked us through all of the benefits of installing solar. Other companies tried to have competitive pricing, but then they nickel-and-dimed everything on top of the contract. Rob made it clear from the start that SkyNRG won't do that, and they were right. Their price in their quote was the price we paid, even with some add-ons that I requested. They also let me decide where the inverter was going to go in my house, and even gave me information on car chargers that we can install later when we decide to get an EV. If you are even just considering solar, reach out to them early. I don't feel like they ever really pressured me at all when I was still talking with other companies, and I couldn't be happier with the final results. If you contact them, be sure to ask about SRECs and the Fed tax credit, which can really cut down on the cost to pay off the investment.

We had Sky NRG solar install solar panels on our house towards the end of 2024. The whole experience was great from start to finish with no issues!! We worked with Megan the whole time and she was fantastic! For aesthetic purposes, one of our main requirements was to center the panels on our front roof. Another company had a design that had a 3 ft offset on one side due to "fire code", but Megan knew that Arlington county didn't have this requirement. She was right, and there were no issues during the inspection process. We would highly recommend working with Sky NRG if you are considering solar panels for your home!!

Sky NRG Solar was an excellent choice for solar at my home in Vienna. Rob was great to work with and explained to me the different options I had in installing solar in my home. His company was able to get to my project quickly and complete the onsite work in only two days. Highly recommend their service to my neighbors and appreciate the high level of service they were able to give both before and after the install. Thank you Rob.

We had a great experience with Sky NRG and couldn't ask for more. They had great communication on the expected timeline and necessary steps, worked with us to design a solar system that worked best for our home, and helped us identify quality roofing and tree-trimming companies to get the most bang for our buck. We love our panels and the real-time monitoring app. Highly recommend!
