What customers say

James Scott

The install team did a great job! Afa was prompt, courteous, and professional. The whole team was quite efficient as well. I would also like to give a shoutout to Patrick and Nelson our main point of contacts who were also great to work with. Only negative was a significant delay due to the overall incentive system changing ( we went with the “free” panels option and were deprioritized relative to folks who directly purchased)

Alec Lynde

We had a fantastic experience with Uprise. Maris was very helpful during the proposal discussions, and patient as we took time to consider whether the project was right for us. Nelson kept us informed with project updates and the timeline for installation. And on the day of the installation, Afa introduced himself right away, walked us through what the team would be doing, and showed us each aspect of the project after it was complete. The entire Uprise team was amazing from start to finish and we couldn’t have asked for a smoother process. We’re excited to get started with our solar journey!

I had my solar panels installed on a typical hot and humid day in DC, but I couldn't be more impressed with Uprise Solar. The team worked with utmost professionalism and exceptional teamwork. Despite the challenging weather, their standards were incredibly high, and their character shone through. After the installation, they even showed me images of the solar panels on my roof and took the time to explain how the system operates. It was thorough and informative, giving me confidence in the setup and performance. They were also very careful with the installation, paying close attention to every detail. On top of that, they provided me with a sleek and cool solar operation panel that looks great and works perfectly. It's rare to find such a combination of expertise, care, and excellent service. Uprise Solar not only met but exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone considering solar energy solutions.

I cannot recommend Patrick and the rest of Uprise team enough. They replaced the roofs on my main house and garage, before installing a 28 panel (11.2 kW) system. Uprise made the process incredibly smooth from start to finish, communicating frequently with me every step of the way. The quality of the work is phenomenal and I’m so happy to have made the investment. You’d be hard pressed to find a better partner on your solar journey
