Solar Energy World serves eight states and Washington DC. Its service area includes Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Solar Energy World is headquartered in Elkridge, Maryland. It does not use subcontractors and has local teams in Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia and Florida.
Solar Energy World has a six-step installation process, which the company calls "Six Steps to Success." Here is an overview of each step of the Solar Energy World installation process:
- Initial Consultation: The first step in installing solar panels is the initial consultation, where you can schedule an appointment with a Solar World sales representative. During a phone call or virtual meeting, your sales representative will inform you about available solar services, payment options, possible savings and local solar incentives and discounts.
- Solar Panel Site Assessment: If you are satisfied with the information provided in the consultation and decide to continue with Solar Energy World, the company will send a certified solar technician to your location to perform a site survey. Technicians will evaluate your energy bills, roof structure, and your home to gather information to design a system. At this stage, the company will also request the necessary permissions to operate your system.
- Solar Panel Design and Installation: After Solar Energy World has designed your system and obtained the necessary permits, an installation team can begin installing solar panels on your property. Installation usually takes two to three days and Solar Energy World will walk you through every step of the way.
- Solar panel system inspection: Your local council or power company will need to inspect your newly installed system before it goes live. This inspection ensures that the system meets all safety and construction protocols. Solar Energy World will make sure your system is connected to the grid so you can enjoy clean trading.
- Solar Rebates and Incentives: Solar World can help you claim the Federal Solar Tax Credit and other incentives during the installation process. You can check for updates by calling your dedicated retailer.
- Continuous monitoring and support: Solar Energy World will remotely monitor your solar photovoltaic (PV) system for malfunctions. If there is a problem with your solar system, your installer should notify you immediately and schedule an appointment for follow-up service.
The entire process, from application to system activation, can take two to six months.

Solar panel options in the world
Solar Energy World prides itself on installing the highest quality solar panels and equipment. It uses photovoltaic solar panels manufactured by Silfab, Longi Solar, Qcells and REC.
Solar Energy World also offers solar panels. Its flagship offering is the Tesla Powerwall, one of the most highly rated solar batteries on the market. The company also uses inverters from industry leaders SolarEdge, Enphase and Fronius.
One of Solar Energy World's most distinctive features is its 30-year Triple Platinum warranty. The warranty covers solar panels and inverters for 30 years, and Solar Energy World promises to replace defective ones even if the original manufacturer goes out of business. The warranty also covers system work with free technical visits. Warranty coverage is fully transferable if the homeowner decides to sell their home after installing the solar panels.
Solar Energy World also offers services related to the overall home improvement experience. If your home needs a new roof within 10 years of installing your solar system, Solar Energy offers to remove and reinstall your solar system.
