District Energy and team were amazing from begin to end. The presentation was clear and concise. The installation process was seamless. Crew was prompt and curtious. Solid company, solid Product and warranty, and great customer support and comunications throughout the Process. System production exceeding expectations! Couldn't be happier:) Kim D

Tarek and the District Energy Crew exceeded my expectations — and they’d come highly recommended, so my expectations were pretty great. Most impressive was perhaps how thorough they were and how quickly they got everything done, from permitting, to install, to resolving a potentially tricky situation on our roof. I’d recommendDistrict Energy to anybody looking to install solar panels

They were not the cheapest option but you get what you pay for. The equipment has been good and the experience was good and they did a good job. They arrived early at the time that we talked about and it really only took one day and the guys seemed to move quickly with the team of people and it was pretty tidy overall. They were extremely responsive. We had one issue after the install and they came back right away the next day. The team responds immediately.

They were very responsive, had quick turn arounds, answered all of our questions, and were always prepared. Overall, very good experience. Install took less than a day. A few people came by and sold everything, connected everything in the same day. No issues.

The company was extremely responsive to my initial inquiry. They set up a time to work with us very quickly. On the scheduled time they showed up and did great, quick, quality work up on our roof. They did great work, they were highly professional. It's high quality equipment.

We did extensive research before we short-listed District Energy as our top three and then selected them based on numerous recommendations by neighbors about Tarek A's outstanding service and professionalism. Right from the very get go, Tarek was extremely punctual to all our meetings, highly responsive to all my questions over email, and very clear in his presentation of costs, output, financing etc. He also took care of all the requisite paperwork and documentation etc. We also chose District Energy because it was one of just two installers that install Sunpower panels, which we wanted, and their price was the most competitive, all factors considered. To be honest, I was dreading the day of the installation but it was a quick and smooth process from start to finish. The noise was minimal and the installation was seamless and quite beautiful to see. We had also installed a new roof a few months prior and DE's parapet system also ensured that the installation didn't negate out roof warranty. Additionally, when we had issues with our original roofing contractor and a skylight installation that was not completed as planned, Tarek came to the rescue and found a skylight contractor, pulled the requisite permits, and his sub-contractors did stellar work from start to finish including installing the skylight and performing all the interior work including drywall repair and painting. I consider myself a highly organized person and I am generally frustrated by most contractors' lack of dependability, punctuality, professionalism, and work ethic. In contrast, Tarek and his team were such an absolute joy to work with and he checked in on the progress every step of the way. I cannot recommend District Energy highly enough (and given that I am quite an OCD person, this should be taken as high praise indeed!) and Tarek is definitely the best of the best in this space. So much gratitude and appreciation to District Energy's team, sub-contractors, and to the terrific Tarek! We are thrilled with our solar panels and skylight and cannot recommend DE strongly enough for your next solar/roofing project. Tarek and DE are rock stars in my book!

Before contracting with District Energy, I spoke with four companies, sat through their intro sessions, and compared quotes. DE wasn't the cheapest quote, but offered a better product and provided excellent customer service with clear communication throughout the entire process, from the initial quote to post-installation. We were kept informed through the lead up and past installation, to make sure we were not only operational but satisfied with our solar panels, in a way that felt supportive. I highly recommend working with District Energy.

District Energy was my personally-selected solar installers after getting approximately 10 solar proposals from across the DC Metro area. They are knowledgeable, flexible, and patient. Tarek and his team customized our project to my specifications for an energy-dense system on a DC rowhouse with premium components warrantied for 25-years. Highly recommended.

Tarek Ambares-et-Lagrave, 33

We hired District Energy to replace our (flat) roof and install SunPower panels. We liked that they coordinated all of the work with the roofing subcontractor, who installed a new TPO roof as well as a sun roof hatch on Petworth home . The process was painless and the work, once started was completed in less than 3 days. We're extremely happy with the solar component; we haven't had a bill in almost two years now and even have capacity to get an EV.

District Energy did a great job installing my residential solar system. Tarek is very knowledgeable about the solar market in Washington, DC and provided me with all the information I needed to make the most out of my system. They took care of all the permits with Pepco and did an outstanding work. The entire process was done in just a few weeks. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone who's looking for a solar system in the DMV area.

We had a great experience with District Energy. They were responsive and professional through the project. We looked at a number of companies before making a decision and couldn’t be happier with District Energy. They also came highly recommended by a number of families in our neighborhood who used them for their solar panel install. The drop in our electric bill has been drastic and we are happy to be feeding the grid instead of pulling from it.

What distinguished District Energy from other solar companies: -better solar panels while offering competitive pricing -Tarek was responsive before and after installation -flexible installation process. our neighboring wall needed work prior to solar install. -handled the permit approval process without issues -offered subsidy if Pepco tried charge infrastructure upgrade fees. no other solar companies offered subsidy.

My experience with District Energy was very positive from day one, and I’m very grateful to Tarek for the wonderful customer service I received during the solar panel installation in my new home. Tarek was always very professional and helpful in guiding me throughout the whole process. I highly recommend his business.

Tarek was so incredible to work with. He was skillful in answering our many questions, talked us through the process, followed up regularly, came out to see the installation, and was so easy to work with. We had a great experience and are so happy we moved forward with District Energy.

We got bids from four other companies. District Energy was not the lowest bid - but selected them because we felt they were most responsive and realistic in addressing our questions.
