About this company

"I became interested in renewables in general, and solar power specifically, when I learned about the risk posed by climate change. There was a time when the only reason to go solar was to help the environment. Today, the economics have changed dramatically, and solar power is not just cleaner power, it is also cheaper power!"

— Peter Belman, CEO

I strongly recommend avoiding Solar Energy World based on my experience. From the start, the installation process was careless and caused multiple issues. Their crew damaged our ceiling and sprinkler head while working in the attic, left paint mismatched after repairs, and tracked dirt/mulch through the house despite being asked to use protective coverings. We also had to clean up screws, bolts, and metal debris left around our driveway ourselves. More seriously, the installation led to ongoing roof damage, with materials and debris continuing to fall off our roof and even onto our neighbor’s property—creating both safety and liability concerns. Despite repeatedly following up since February, the roof repair was never properly addressed. On March 19, we were given a confirmed appointment for repairs on March 25 (8–9 AM). No one showed up. I followed up immediately and multiple times after that with no resolution. At one point, their crew was working at our neighbor’s house, but told us they were not scheduled to do any work at ours. Weeks later, we were told the job had been handed to a subcontractor and that “they should have reached out”—but no one ever did. This has been a consistent pattern: missed appointments, poor workmanship, lack of coordination, no communication, and zero accountability. After months of delays and broken promises, we are now forced to hire our own contractor and send them the bill. If you value your time, money, and peace of mind—stay away from this company.

We used Solar Energy World (SEW) in 2000 for our install and couldn't be happier! They are the best in the area (pricing and option-wise) and fully-support their systems. You don't have to worry about the company disappearing for the system warranty labor coverage. Daren Weatherby is an excellent sales rep and truly knows his stuff+the industry. He will guide you toward the optimal config. for your roof/energy situation (there is a sweet spot for ROI). Our system paid for itself in 5.5 years and now we have another 20+ yrs of "free" energy coming from the power of the sun! Use SEW with confidence and ask for Daren to help you. All of our neighbors used him too and are extremely satisfied. A+++ - no regrets.

A shout out to David Bishins, what a great consultation over Teams with him about my property and ideal locations for panels, the cost savings short term and long term. He left no stone unturned, he was absolutely transparent! We went over the technical information from positioning to angles/grade and financial costs with options. David is very passionate about solar and is very personable I am very excited to have solar shortly! Thanks David!

My solar system is now fully operational, and I’m very happy with how it turned out. It looks great. I did A LOT of research before going with SEW as my installer. From start to finish, the process with them was smooth. They handled everything including permits, dealing with my HOA, county inspection, and utility interconnection. Jacques Frink was my energy advisor/sales rep, and he is excellent. He was always attentive and responsive, and returned my phone calls/texts quickly. Any issues I brought up, Jacques was on it to make sure it got handled. The crew had to come out a couple times to finish installing the critter guard and skirting, and Jacques stayed on top of it until it was complete. I’m very happy with the experience and would recommend SEW to anyone thinking about installing solar on their home.

Over a year ago, I first met with Andy to discuss whether solar would even make sense for my home. At that time my roof was nearly 50 years old and had previous damage and neglect that I wanted to address before considering any major installation. I explained to Andy that I planned to replace the entire roof and the decking first to ensure the structure was sound. From that very first conversation, Andy was patient, knowledgeable, and never pushy. He understood my timeline and never pressured me to move faster than I was ready for. Once the roof was finally replaced, Andy immediately picked up where we left off and got the solar process moving smoothly. Throughout the entire experience, Andy was extremely professional and consistently quick to respond to any questions I had, no matter how small. He kept me informed, walked me through each step, and made what could have been a stressful project feel straightforward and well managed. His communication and reliability were outstanding, and I genuinely felt supported from start to finish. It has been a very positive experience working with Andy, and I highly recommend him to anyone considering solar. His professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to his clients truly set him apart.
