Nova Solar has become the most trusted name in solar for DC, Maryland, and Virginia because of our commitment to quality, honesty and value. As a referral-based business, we believe educating customers about the benefits of solar and helping them weigh all their options is the best way to produce happy customers and grow the industry as a whole.

A top-quality solar system necessitates expert design, top-of-the-line products, and superb workmanship. Our design professionals create custom solutions for homeowners, making use of all their best available roof space as well as sheds, barns, carports, and anything else that can produce the best outcome for each project. We use the highest-quality equipment money can buy and encourage our customers to research our solar modules, inverters, and racking equipment. We take great pride in the craftsmanship of our systems and believe that a beautiful solar array with no rooftop conduit, visible junction boxes, or noticeable attachments is the best advertisement of all.

Of all the factors contributing to Nova Solar’s success, we believe trustworthiness is the most important. We get it- researching solar systems is complicated and customers want honest, expert information and opinions without being upsold. A lot of times that means telling a client they have too much shade to make solar a viable option, that an energy audit may provide a better value than a solar system, or that a competing technology might be a better answer for a particular situation- and we are okay with that.

Nova Solar often gets asked how it’s possible for us to achieve the prices we do given the high-quality of the equipment we use. The answer is a fanatical dedication to operational efficiency. We have no dedicated sales staff and our advertising expenses are virtually nonexistent. The efforts we take to scrutinize our overhead cost enables us to provide systems to customers that are a great value and helps grow the word of mouth on which our company thrives.

Q & A

We recently switched over to the Aptos DNA-144-BF26-440W panels and we LOVE them! With their sleek, black look, top of the line 30 year warranty AND rated as RETC Top Performer, they are just hard to beat.

98% of the time.. it is a ONE day installation!

Not to worry! If your house isn't ideal for solar, we offer ground mounts! If you have a sizeable amount of open, unshaded land on your property.. A ground mount might be perfect for you.

Batteries typically can only power a fraction of household loads for around 1/2 a day! Homeowners in our region do not get any of the financial benefits from batteries compared to other areas. Prices are expected to decrease by 30-40% in the next 5 years!

Absolutely. Battery prices are expected to decrease 30-40% in the next 5 years. We absolutely plan to offer them then when the financial benefits are better for our customers.

Each one of our systems are battery compatible and battery ready. Therefore when we do offer batteries down the line, it will be incredibly easy to install them for existing systems!

We are a fully licensed solar and electrical contractor. We design and install all our systems in house without the use of subcontractors!

According to the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency, homeowners’ associations are not allowed to prohibit the installation of solar panels.

The average installation timeline for our company is 8-14 weeks, which is largely dictated by the permit turnaround time for your county’s building department.

When properly installed, a PV system will last 25-35 years. During that time, most systems require little to no maintenance. We offer a 25 year end-to-end warranty!

Absolutely – using lenders with competitive rates is one of the most crucial steps in making financed solar lucrative. We work with several lenders to offer customers a variety of low-cost and zero-down options

The Federal Solar Tax Credit is an incentive that allows you to claim a tax credit for 26% of the total cost of installing your solar power system.

Federal, state, and local incentives go to homeowners, usually the following tax year after the system is purchased.

Yes, your project manager should update you every 1-2 weeks on the status of your applications for things like interconnection, engineering, permitting, and HOA.

Phenomenal company

My experience with Nova Solar, from start to finish, was overwhelmingly positive. The entire staff was professional, courteous, and went out of their way to answer the questions I had. During the design phase they revised their proposal in response to my inputs without hesitation. They provided information on available systems and the pros and cons of each, made sound recommendations and explained why they made them, put together the system I wanted even if I decided against a particular recommendation. The installation crew/electricians were efficient and obviously well-trained, and explained what they were doing if I asked. They put together all the paperwork I needed to apply for tax credits and deductions at both the local and federal levels. They initiated the process and did most of the paperwork to enable me to sell SRECs. Throughout the entire process they were very responsive to my questions/requests. I highly recommend Nova Solar if you're looking to install solar in the Northern Virginia area.

A complete team provides the best value.

They provided everything I didn't even know I needed to get the best value for my investment! Everyone on the team was quick and fully knowledgeable about the topics and process to follow as they all work together for Nova Solar. I learned a lot panel tech while researching on sites like this and believe Nova Solar has consistent selection of highest quality product for consistency and value in their delivery. They have a great way of keeping continuity among the team to pick up as one leaves off. I got a complete package at the end to help me get every possible exemption, credit, and earnings on top of a great product at an incredible price.

Awesome!

Nova Solar did a great job for us. Our solar project went so smoothly. They are thorough and prompt on everything (appointments, county permits, etc.). They provide plenty of information and even FAQs. It only took one week after our final inspection for Dominion to change out our meter so we could turn on the system, which was unexpected but awesome.

Fantastic company!

Nova Solar was fantastic to work with. I installed solar panels on my almost 200 year old house. From the first email inquiry to the final wrap up they were stellar with communication. Installation was a breeze. They were a huge advocate for me when interacting with my electric company. I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you Nova Solar!
