I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Celestial to install residential solar. They came highly recommended from my neighbor. Between our roof estimates and solar estimates, I met with a bunch of contractors. Some are clearly just trying to make a sale. Some are pushy. Some you can’t wait for them to leave. Some you don’t feel you can trust. Jim I trusted through and through. There was no question that we wanted to work with Jim. The whole crew is very professional, respectful, super responsive and available, patient with questions (and I had a ton!), knowledgeable, etc. It was frankly a delight as far as contractors go. They get an A+ for communication. I always knew the schedule and what was happening next. Jim has also followed up after the installation as well to make sure everything is good and to see if I have any more questions. This also came together at the end of 2025 after the federal tax credit was cancelled effective in 2026. Even though Jim was crazy busy and quite uncertain if they could get it done in 2025, he still took my call and met with us (some companies wouldn’t even return my call or email). He was very upfront and honest about the likelihood of it happening in 2025. In the end they were able to get us in on time, which was awesome. This truly was the best contractor experience I’ve had, and going solar is a huge investment and a big deal (at least for me it was), so having someone like Jim to hold my hand through it and provide me assurance that it would be done well was super appreciated.
I am not surprised they have so many good reviews. Celestial Solar is a very honest, straightforward company that is a breeze to work with. They installed solar panels for us about 8 years ago. Jim came up with a really efficient approach to locating the panels on our roof and the system has been flawless since then. We wanted to add batteries for the past couple of years and I could not find any installers willing to work with us (Celestial Solar just started installing batteries). When I found out Jim had just expanded his business to include batteries, I knew I could complete this project. It took a few months because of the backlog of work but I was happy to wait. They did the installation in 3 days including the installation of a subpanel. The installers were very neat and helped me make sure I had all the circuits I needed. The installers answered my questions and configured the system correctly. Jim was very communicative and it was a pleasure working with him. The battery system meets all my expectations.
Jim and his team were excellent to work with from start to finish. Jim took a very thoughtful, data-driven approach from the beginning, walking us through system design, expected production, and return on investment in a way that was clear and easy to understand. He focused on optimizing panel placement, system sizing, and aesthetics rather than trying to oversell anything, which we really appreciated.The installation itself was clean, efficient, and professionally executed. The crew was courteous, detail-oriented, and clearly experienced, and communication throughout permitting, inspections, and final commissioning was seamless. It was reassuring to work with a team that handled both the technical and administrative aspects so well.Overall, this was a smooth, well-managed project with high-quality workmanship. We’re very happy with the system and would confidently recommend Jim and his team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy solar installer.
Jim Reilly and the Celestial Solar Innovations team have been nothing but amazing in our solar journey from start to finish. We interviewed 4 different companies looking for the best fit for our goals and after the meeting with Jim it was clear that Celestial had earned our business. It didn’t hurt that Celestial had been recommended personally by two engineers at my firm. Jim was communicative and informative in a way that makes you feel respected as a customer. At no point during the project did I feel like we were left in the dark. Together with his team they designed our system to perfectly fit on our roof and at the lowest cost per kWh out of the 4. However, the customer experience, craftsmanship, and materials were a testament to the quality they bring to the table. Jim is an upstanding guy and we will be shouting Celestial’s name from our new rooftop.
I’m very happy I chose Celestial Solar Innovations for my home solar installation. From the first sales visit to activation, everything went smoothly. Jim was responsive to all my questions, and the REC panels were ideal for my roof’s orientation and shading.Since installation, my electricity usage from Baltimore Gas has been zero, and I’ve banked over 2,200 kWh in credits. The installers were professional, accommodated my equipment location requests, and consulted me when changes were needed. I’ve even started receiving SREC income.As an engineer who works with air conditioning installation contractors, I tend to nitpick every detail, and this installation exceeded my expectations. After reviewing many installers and panel options, I highly recommend Celestial Solar Innovations and REC panels.
