Quality work with quality components

Edge Energy recently installed a 10.8KW solar array with a SunVault battery backup in our home in Alexandria. We are very pleased with their work. The office kept us well informed in advance of the installation, and the work crew was hard working, professional, and respectful. The solar panels were installed on our rear roof on day 1. The work on day 2 and 3 was in the basement to run the cables and install the Hub and SunVault. Our installation was a little more complicated because we wanted an internal conduit run from the attic to the basement, and the electrical service panel was across the basement from the unfinished area where the Hub and SunVault were placed. Edge was very good about working with us to do the installation the way we wanted it. They also informed us of when the power would be out while they wired the backup circuits. After the installation was complete, an Edge rep came to the house to get everything ready for the Fairfax County inspector, and quality of our system impressed the inspector. While waiting for the inspector, the Edge rep answered all my questions about the system’s operation. The only downside is waiting for Dominion to install the new net-meter, which is out of the control of the solar installers. Edge is a SunPower dealer, and SunPower makes one of the best panels on the market. You may be able to get a somewhat less expensive solar system from other contractors, but you can’t go wrong on service with Edge Energy. So far, the system is performing above expectations for solar production, and the battery backup works seamlessly to power designated critical circuits when the grid goes out. We also love the phone app that come as with the system, which provides several useful displays with information on the status of the system and the power production, as well as the status of the backup battery. Very pleased with both having solar power and going with Edge Energy!
