I turned to MSSI for all steps of installing a ground-mounted solar array. From beginning to end (and beyond--they are still making sure that everything is working as it should and that I'm getting the various credits that I am due), the whole team has been wonderful. I feel very fortunate to have found Colette and her colleagues. I recommend them without reservation.

I did not initiate a solar project due to current shading on my roof, but my ongoing correspondence with Emily at MSSI to determine whether anything was feasible or workable, from an economic or environmental perspective, demonstrated that MSSI is a very thoughtful and thorough company that acts with integrity and transparency - which is not always a given in this industry. From my experience, MSSI is a data-driven, fully transparent, honest, and credible company. If my roof shading one day changes (I'm never inclined to cut trees - but if I happen to lose one), I'd go with MSSI in a heartbeat

Really well. Although MSSI was more expensive than the other 3 companies from whom we received quotes, the extra money was more than worth it given their willingness to walk us through the process and respond to our many questions. Although I think I'm pretty well educated, I would highly recommend that a potential solar customer work with MSSI and pay the extra money--it'll save time and frustration in the long-run. An additional perk is that this is a woman-owned, US military veteran-owned company.

We were impressed with the quality and efficiency of the panels used by MSSI as compared with other companies. Furthermore, their commitment to customer service is unsurpassed. They were knowledgeable and very helpful through the entire process from HOA approval to installation to coordinating with BGE to registering to sell the extra energy we produce. It is complicated, and we would have been lost on our own! Now that our project is complete, they will continue to monitor our output and troubleshoot any issues. We could not be happier with our choice! We highly recommend Maryland Solar Solutions

Although I did not end up going with MSSI for my solar project, I did want to leave a positive review for their customer service during the quote process. I had a lot of questions about the process and the system, and Lizzie patiently answered all of them. The visit from Colette, the owner, was very helpful as she is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced in this field. She brought up certain issues that other companies had not, and checked the structure and electrical of the house herself, which I thought was very thorough. When we asked for adjustments in the quote, MSSI was quick to provide

We had our solar panels installed in early spring of 2019 and were extremely pleased with the entire process.
MSSI quoted price was not the lowest but was very competitive (the lowest quoted price we got was from company that also tried to sell us other products and seemed much more interested in selling other things than the actual business of installing solar panels...make of that what you will), but we believe it was worth it because everything was done with the utmost professionalism and quality materials.
Colette was absolutely fantastic explaining the ins and outs of solar and making sure

MSSI installed solar panels on my home a few years back. I spent a great deal of time researching this topic and interviewed several contractors to complete the job. MSSI provided the most detailed information, spending the most time with me explaining exactly what my options were and the differences between them. It was plenty clear to me that they were the company to choose to complete the job.

Not only did Collette climb on the roof of my home to inspect its condition, and the ability to hold these panels for several years to come, but she also went into my attic to ensure there was sufficient
