SolarGaines Reviews

I contracted with Solargaines from Cockysville, MD to install a 12.04 KWA PV system on my home in Havre de Grace, MD. They were referred to me by Benfield Electrical from Aberdeen, MD. Benfield is one the best electrical contractors in my area and they moved into a new building with a large a PV system on their roof. I figured I'd ask them about their system and they said Tom G & Solargaines helped them with their system. So I contacted Solargaines and started the design and installation process. I went with an outright purchase rather than a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Why? I read Vivints 19 page PPA and it is not advantages to the homeowner if you can afford an outright purchase. Solargaines has been terrific. They worked closely with me and provided all the information and technical data to get permits, and approval from my HOA. They provided a turnkey service even coordinating with BGE to install the net meter on my home. My system was up and running in May of 2017. I paid $30,646. for the complete system. After a 30% Federal tax deduction and Harford County rebate my actual price was a little over Twenty Thousand. I am selling my SREC credits through a company called SREC Trade which Solargaines recommended. So the bottom line is, payoff is eight years. So based on the number of sunny days I get 12.5% return on my investment by putting the value on the roof rather than under 1% keeping the money in the bank. Last month I made forty dollars profit and paid nothing for my gas and electric. Solargaines is the best and I feel comfortable in recommending them.
