It was a pleasure working with Andrew and his team. When others were challanged by my installation location, he was able to make it happen, and at a competitive price. He installed a 40 panel, battery backup, ground mount system, on a hill. As a former solar installer, I appreciate his attention to detail, knowledge and insight into the latest technology. He is easy to work with and happy to answer any of your questions. His back office support is also excellent, providing quick turn around times to customers and the county. His team always arrived early on the day they said they would. He even completed the project a day early. I highly recommend Main Street Solar.
I waited a full year to write this review because I wanted to see how Main Street Solar's 7.2 kW solar array with a 16.8 kW partial battery backup would perform over time. I'm happy to report it has exceeded expectations!
Financial Win:
Financing through Clean Energy Credit Union with a unique loan structure (short-term balloon + long-term loan) made the system accessible.
The tax rebate nearly covered the entire short-term loan (30% of the system cost).
Based on current production, the remaining 10-year loan is likely to be paid off within 3 years.
Energy Independence:
Spring and fall production generates a surplus that offsets summer usage, reducing our power bill to connection fees and taxes only (around $8.86/month).
The battery backup provides peace of mind, keeping critical appliances and even air conditioning running during power outages.
Flawless Installation:
Main Street Solar's installation team arrived and stayed on the project until completion.
Lauren Wasko and Andrew Brenner expertly handled permitting with Roanoke County and Appalachian Power.
Highly Recommended:
I chose Main Street Solar based on a recommendation, and now I understand why! Their expertise, smooth installation, and commitment to customer satisfaction make them a top choice for anyone considering solar power.
We couldn't be happier with how Main Street Solar designed and installed our solar panels in 2015. Their proposal was easy to understand, and I liked that they sited the panels to take maximum advantage of the sun's angle throughout the day. We did need follow-up service twice, and each time one of the Brenners showed us what solved the issue.
