Aurora Energy, Inc. – Solar Installation in Columbia

From the project developers to the construction superintendants, the team at Aurora has been very effective to work with, and has provided constant communication throughout the entire process. They were able to address several issues that arose throughout each process, and set the right expectations from day 1 in terms of timelines and delivery dates. I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking to install PV solar projects on their commercial properties.

Aurora installed a 17 kw system on our roof during the summer of 2016. I started working with Aurora in the Spring of 2016. I was considering another company as well, so there were several months of questions and answers and updated proposals. I decided to use Aurora since I like the SunPower modules, the fact that Aurora was a local company that had been installing solar panels for many years, plus their excellent reviews. Aurora provided excellent communication during the entire installation phase (that took a little longer than expected, due to the excessive heat). I would like to provide extra thanks to Dustin who worked long, hot hours to make sure everything was done correctly. The only issue was the final system commissioning by SunPower, which should have been completed soon after installation but took several weeks. Aurora continued to query SunPower until the commissioning was finally completed.

We ordered a system in early April, had it installed early June. In July BGE finally finished all of their approvals and installed the net meter. Aurora was very easy to work with throughout and informative about all of the current incentives (30% Federal Tax credit, $1000 Maryland grant, SREC's). They employ their own installers and did a great job, very professional. My system has worked great so far. My July and August electric bills were negative, of course I know in the winter I will still have a big bill, but 8 months out of the year I should be break even or better.
