Stephanie Leitner
5/5
I interviewed at least four different solar solution providers before settling on Virginia Energy Solutions. It is a locally owned and operated and provided the best solution at a reasonable price. Ian, the owner, wasn’t pushy with selling it, which was refreshing for a change, and explained every step of the process up front. The installation went very smoothly. Virginia Energy Solutions is a great choice when searching for solar panels; they are very professional and I would certainly recommend to friends and neighbors.

Taylor was amazing! Very detailed explanation of how everything worked. He answered every single question my wife and I asked. He kept me updated on Federal changes and interest rate increases which saved me a significant amount of money. He allowed us to make the decision that was best for our family. I would highly recommend talking with him about switching to solar!

The team and process at energy solutions was amazing! Taylor came to our house and walked us through the whole process from beginning to end explaining every scenario that we had a question about. The team that installed the panels were super friendly and efficient. Now all that’s left is to save money! I strongly encourage you not to be skeptical like we are sometimes. Give them a chance to tell you what they can do for you and see what you can do for yourself. 100% satisfied!
