Sumintra

Our experience with Anil, the owner, was excellent from the beginning to the end. He was the only one that reacted quickly to the request for a quote and took the time to educate me, the novice. He won the bid with a reasonable price and high attention to detail. Anil and his crew are passionate about solar power and it shows in the work they do. A high attention to detail and excellent communication during the install process. Anil was always available by phone or text to answer questions. We are very pleased with the result and are now enjoying our new solar system

The company owner, Anil, is an Electrical Engineer, and it shows. From the initial sales conversation, you know you're speaking with someone who understands what he's doing and isn't just following a script. I had some special requirements that were taken into account, and they weren't problems for Anil. He actually worked onsite with his installers, who were conscientious about doing a great job.

From the first time I spoke to Anil I felt he was someone I could trust I was looking to have a large system installed on my house and spoke to several companies. Anil was the only one who had real answers to my questions without giving me the run around. He told me up front that he cared more about quality than a quick in and out job and it showed. Anil and his crew were very respectful of my home and family and that means allot to me. I would highly recommend Anil to anyone interested in solar.

Sumintra, although a small outfit, did a great job with my relatively large, roof mounted solar system. Quality and customer service definitely come first with this company even when you are located four and half hours from their headquarters. At the end of my project the electrical inspector from the power company was very impressed, and told me that the quality of work performed on my home stands out from the typical solar systems that he normally sees. Clearly, the company co-founder and lead electrician, Anil Babooram, has a passion for solar and takes great pride in the work that he does. Naturally, a small company can get booked up during the busy season, but the quality and service are worth the wait.

It's a shame I couldn't choose two installers; Sumintra was my second choice mostly because another company managed to come in with a slightly lower price for the same system. With another panel brand, Sumintra would've been the cheaper option, though. Through the whole process he was not only knowledgeable, but proactive about making sure I knew as much as I could about the technology, the choices available and the installation procedure. Even after he knew I wasn't going to be his customer personally, Anil made it clear he was still available to answer questions and gave me a few insights on how to get the best service possible from the other company - obviously his first priority is doing the best possible job and ensuring people get the best solar PV system they can. Thanks for the help, Anil!

During the early stages of requesting web-based proposals from installers for my home solar PV system in northern NJ (through the Energy Sage website), I felt that Sumintra differentiated itself through its direct, honest, personalized approach and the knowledge and courtesy of its principal, Anil Babooram. Anil took the time to educate me on various aspects of PV systems, components and installation, answered my questions and even offered information and guidance on things I needed to know or do after installation (technically not part of his job). This approach carried through to his on-site visit, where I noted his diligence, patience and attention to detail. After selecting Sumintra, I was pleased to discover that the contract was concise, simple and straightforward, very easy to deal with. When they arrived to begin installation, it was clear that they weren’t going to simply “slap it on and be gone” in 3 days. Anil formulated a well-thought-out plan and he and his crew executed it with meticulous attention to detail, using the most durable equipment, constructed/installed with personalized attention to the quality of the work. We benefitted from Anil’s presence on site every day, planning and overseeing the work while doing part of the installation himself. Anil is extremely conscientious and is a pleasure to have around, both personally and professionally; he treated each aspect of our project as if his own professional qualifications and credibility were at stake. His crew was courteous and diligent as well. The high quality of Sumintra’s work was evident in the several unsolicited compliments I received from our local electrician and the building and electrical inspectors who signed off on the completed project. I would not hesitate to recommend Sumintra highly to anyone considering a solar PV installation in the mid-Atlantic region.
