Schedule a free 15 minute call, and we will answer questions and provide you with a design and proposal. SRECs remain high value at ~$400 per unit in DC ONLY due to aggressive initiatives and our progressive community. We are EXPERTS in SRECs and we'll show you how to turn your rooftop into a passive income stream.

City Renewables makes the conversion process easy and fun. Solar energy can be so confusing. I've always heard that you can sell energy back to the grid, but I had no idea that there were so many more benefits. City Renewables educated me on how to convert to solar power, and they even managed my project from start to finish.

When I turned on my system, I even received a free bottle of champagne. Thank you for the great experience. I'm pretty happy! The last couple months, I haven't had an electric bill, I've built credit! Ben has handled all the paperwork that I didn't understand. When tax time came, he gave me the forms I needed to give my accountant to get the tax credit.

City Renewables was both insightful & helpful from start to finish of our project. We’ve now had our solar panels for 1 year and the SRECs generated are in-line with was was foreshadowed during the design! The team was responsive after installation. Ben & the team at City Renewables are the best.

We had our solar panels installed just about 1 year ago. Whenever we've had any issues which have all been very minor and usually based on Wi-Fi connectivity, Ben has been incredibly quick to respond and make sure that everything is taken care of. Ben provides excellent customer service and we have been very happy.

Ben Colbert and City Renewables are incredible! So knowledgeable, so responsive, and nice people. They are really plugged into all of the solar trends that can help you save a TON of money. Don't consider any other firm.

Ben was awesome on getting Solar on the roof of my house. I originally tried going to the kiosk at Costco, and the other business only offered an option to pay for electricity by use. Ben went all out on providing panels and SCREC options. Ben did all the bureaucracy tasks and found a lender that would finance me to make the solar happen. The solar is installed and I recommend getting it on the roof, and if you don't have a neighborhood association that gets in the way, get it installed. The price is high, but loan program were reasonable. If I get a 2nd property in North Carolina

Ben was super helpful. He shared his knowledge rather than trying to be pushy and salesy. High quality product that were vetted by one of my friends in the industry. Give him a call and you will find out why I will 100% work with him again.

Clearest explanation of all parts of the process, financing, installation, warranties, function, interfaces with electric utility, utility credits, tax credits, financing, SREC trade. Ben even researched and addressed my concerns about ethical supply chain. Responsive and focused on customer satisfaction. Highly recommend Ben and City Renewables.

After researching and meeting with over seven firms, we selected City Renewables on the basis of quality, response, pricing, and customer service. From day one, we felt like family. We received quick responses to all questions or issues. The installation team was simply the best! They knew everything about the system and found creative ways to improve our solar system. Since installation, nothing has changed. Ben continues to be friendly and responsive and has helped us through the permitting process. A truly trusted provider!

From start to finish, Ben was so incredibly helpful on our solar journey. We love our panels and the benefits we are already seeing. Ben was completely accessible and always available to answer our questions. Without a doubt, we have no regrets going solar with Ben and Revolution Solar!

I called a number of solar providers, all of which seemed to have some gimmick that made it more worthwhile for them than me. Ben was the only one who provided an affordable solution that he fully explained every step of the process. The rebates and discounts made it seriously a no-brainer to do this.

I had a great experience working with Ben and City Renewables to install solar panels. I was really happy to have his expert advise and experience. It was a quick and seamless process to get solar panels installed and working. Ben walked me through the process, answered all my questions, and helped me get solar panels. It has been a year, and they are working great. I was thrilled to make the shift away from fossil fuels and to clean and renewable energy. Ben was thoughtful and responsive!

Ben at City Renewables was phenomenal from start to finish. He came to us highly recommended and it was clear why. First off, Ben has a passion for solar and is extremely knowledgeable about the products, services, companies, and regulations. Second, Ben was very personable- he did not push anything on us, connected with us, and worked with us to find the right solution. Third, Ben provided us with information, key updates, and was with us every step of the way. He even showed up during the installation to check-in! We cannot recommend City Renewables enough!

Very informative and excellent service! If you're looking to go solar, I highly recommend you talk with Ben at City Renewables. He will present you with a range of financing options; answer all your questions about the technology, tax and credit incentives, permitting, and more; and connect you with a good roofer, if needed. The timelines were clearly outlined and delivery on them was as promised. Very happy that we chose City Renewables for our solar roof! As you can see below, it looks great :-)

I highly recommend Ben for all your renewable energy needs, starting with a big solar panel installation on your roof.

Ben held my hand every step of the way, answered all my questions and walked me through the federal and District incentive programs, then tailored a package with Revolution Solar to suit my household needs and finances. After we signed a deal, he oversaw the permitting, installation and the final set up, including the monitoring app and the renewable energy credit account.

Thanks to Ben and Revolution Solar I now have my own power plant on top of my house. In addition to the

City Renewables completed a solar install for us at our house in Chevy Chase. They were efficient, organized, and the work was high quality. They answered all my questions through every step of the process and were very responsive. I also found their pricing to be competitive and they gave me a number of financing options. Mark was my consultant and I'd definitely use him and City Renewables again.

HIGHLY recommend working with this company. Ben has been excellent! He has a passion for helping area residents access solar power, and he has been a valued guide to us throughout our buying process. He has been professional, accessible, and flexible with appointments. The installation was fast and well-done, and the financing was super competitive. He patiently showed us all of our options and helped us pick the route that worked best for us. He has found great partners in the industry, and you would be wise to utilize City Renewables as your solar provider. Also, the panels and mounting look

I have worked with City Renewables on a few solar projects in Washington DC and I couldn't be happier with the service that Ben and his team provide. Not only are they very knowledgeable of the marketplace, incentives and process from start to finish but they manage to create a fun atmosphere through the whole process. Solar is an absolute no brainer in DC and I couldn't recommend more highly a company than City Renewables.
