We have not had an electric bill since we went solar! Southern Exposure Solar did a great job with the installation, and it's hard to even tell just by looking at our house that we have solar. It has been 5 months since we connected to the grid, and even through the fall and winter with less sunlight we haven't had a bill. The estimates of energy generation and usage were very accurate, and the system is working great! The team continues to send us guidance, like on how to reset our net metering anniversary date. They really go above and beyond to deliver an exceptional system, and at a great price.

I am SO glad I made the decision to contact Southern Exposure Solar about installing a solar power system for my home. I have long been concerned about the impact AI would have on electricity rates in Virginia, and the expiration of the federal tax credit prompted me to finally get it done. I contacted Grayson Goodson in the summer, and he set up a virtual meeting to explain the process. I instantly felt I could trust Grayson. He put zero pressure on me, unlike another solar system salesperson that I had dealt with two years ago. He pretty much guaranteed that my system would be up and running by the end of the year in order to qualify for the federal tax credit. He was good to his word. His team arrived the mid-October, and had the system installed within a week. The Southern Exposure Solar team was extremely professional and did a top-notch job. After the installation they sent me a link to the Enlighten app that shows me how my system is performing: how much it produces, how much I import from Dominion Power, how much I consume, and how my I export to the grid. It is really interesting to me. Overall, this has been one of the best home improvement experiences I've had. I can't recommend enough Southern Exposure Solar for your alternative energy needs!

I am thrilled to recommend Southern Exposure Solar. They were professional, knowledgable, and did a great job with planning, installing, and explaining our new system. Fred and the install team were a joy to work with. They took great care with the installation and with our home. They were respectful of us and of our property in ways that we really appreciated. The system is performing better than we hoped. I like that they were conservative in their calculations and excessive in their delivery. We also appreciated that they are an responsive, accessible local company with enough experience that we could trust them but not so much size that we got lost in the shuffle. I cannot recommend them enough.
