Sunbum Solar & Roofing

Kevin and Michelle, Thanks so much for the great service. You provided an estimate of projected costs, production, and consumption, and then delivered exactly what was promised to the tee. Your installation team members were professional and courteous. It was very obvious based on my interaction with your team members, they are treated with courtesy and respect. They were good stewards of your business. You had mentioned to me, the goal was to meet the expected consumption and not pay for unneeded power, and you got about as close as anyone could want or expect. Thanks again, and best of luck to your business.

I had a great experience with Sun Bum Solar and Roofing . All of my questions during the first meeting to discuss my solar needs were answered, and all of my questions after the initial meeting were addressed quickly. I didn't feel pressured to make an immediate decision, sign anything, or commit to anything right away as I've experienced with other solar system company representatives. Kevin even made recommendations on system accessories to not purchase right away to help make this project more affordable for me. Communication as to what to expect before, during, and after the installation process was frequent and simple to understand. The installation team arrived on time, and they worked seamlessly to finish the job within a day. I am looking forward to seeing what the new system can do over the next year, and want to work with Sun Bum again when I'm ready to add more panels and a battery system. Thank you to Kevin and everyone at Sun Bum Solar and Roofing for an excellent job.

I want to preface this review with the fact that I did extensive research on solar installs, worked with 2 companies before deciding on Sunbum, and am very familiar with the methods of installation including electrical. I went into this purchase informed. I have to admit though that making this large of a purchase was still difficult. Kevin spent a good amount of time replying to my questions and revising the plans as my knowledge increased and the installation grew and changed from outbuilding top to ground mount. So far, I am very happy with the solar output and the money I am saving and will be saving. Matt and his crew did an excellent job installing. They listened to the tweaks I wanted during the install and were quite receptive. The panel array looks great in our field and the inverters and electrical boxes on the house look professional. The installation passed on the first inspection. The panels have been generating power since December 2023 and have produced over 21.8MWh. I have the SolarEdge app to monitor production and use the Dominion Energy app to view weekly/monthly power usage and production. Even during short sunny days and with clouds, I am impressed. During Spring and Summer days production exceeds my usage providing a bank of power with Dominion I draw from on rainy days and at night. Part of my research was the 30% tax credit which was a major incentive to install. The warranty that comes with the install is a nice-to-have, but I realize it is only as good as Sunbum and the panel/inverter manufacturers. I hope you’re reading this Kevin. Would I do it again, absolutely. Do I recommend Sunbum, yes! If you’re even considering solar, get Kevin out there to let you know your options. My advice on any project of this size is to do your homework. Know what you want and what you expect.

I could not have asked for better customer service from starting with information, sales and the crew conducting the installation. For a good experience I highly recommend Sunbum Solar and Roofing for your solar experience.

This is a great outfit and Kevin Hall was wonderful to work with. I got tired dealing with the wild wild west cowboys of the big national companies and decided to go with Sunbum, a relatively small local firm, and I was not disappointed. Kevin sized the unit I needed at a competitive price and did not try to oversell. The installation was professional and mostly moved according to schedule, despite the overly zealous Newport News inspectors the job was done right and I couldn't be happier with the system. It's freedom not owing the power company a ton every month. I designed the system to add an EV later, and to Kevin's credit, he agreed to come back 8 months after the fact to do the car charger connection. I don't think there are many people in the business with that kind of follow up. Thank you Kevin and Sunbum. Steve Kuehl

We had an amazing experience working with Kevin and his team from Sunbum Solar. This was a project we had been considering for years, and we are so incredibly happy we finally pulled the trigger. We finally needed a new roof, so we reached out to Kevin to determine what options were available for roof replacement, roof+solar, etc. He had a methodical way of helping us think through different options from a return on investment standpoint, and wasn't pushy for any particular solution. Once we decided, the team got the work done incredibly quickly, at the cost they quoted, with quality that looks great so far. Bottom line - this is a big investment that makes a ton of sense from a financial perspective (going solar). Kevin helped us make that decision and executed it for us, and it couldn't have been a better experience. Highly recommend!!
