Sky NRG Solar Inc.

We chose a ground-based system since the roof will need replacing in two years. SkyNRGSolar provided a complete and usable solar electric system in accordance with the contract and met the schedule. The system was commissioned in December 2023 and has performed flawlessly for about two months. The company’s staff was courteous and responsive. Although it is too early to report on any possible warranty issues or annual performance, the system has functioned flawlessly.

SkyNRG did a great job of installing solar panels on my roof. I selected them because they provided higher wattage panels, meaning I needed fewer of them, at a more competitive price than the other bidders, and of my top two bids, they had better payment terms. They were easy to work with, cleaned up after themselves, kept me informed, and always answered my questions. Mine was their first install in Fairfax City, so they had a bit of a learning curve on a few things that slowed down the process a bit. I expect this won't be an issue for future City residents, and highly recommend SkyNRG.

From the start, I felt confident about my decision to have Sky NRG install solar panels on my roof. The process began with Megan doing a site survey to determine if my property was a good candidate for solar. Once that was nailed down, she made a cost-competitive proposal that took into account my annual energy usage, the usable space on the south-facing portion of the roof, and the availability of high-efficiency panels. This resulted in an estimated 10-year payback period for the project's cost, after taking into account the 26% federal tax credit. I chose not to get a back-up battery for the system, but can make that addition at any time if/when the economics improve. The technicians and electricians who installed the system, did liaison with Novec, etc., were all very professional. The system has been up and running for 4 weeks, and my Solar Edge app shows in that time I have been a net exporter of power to Novec of approx. 600 kWh. Highly recommend!

I chose a system from SkyNRG over 8 alternatives. Before that decision they answered every question I had about solar in general and their proposed solution specifically. They took the time to ensure I knew what I was buying and how it would meet my goals. They kept me informed throughout the process from permitting to installation to inspection. I would highly recommend them for any project.

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) were equally patient and competent, explaining as they went along. Great company and I highly recommend them!!

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.
