My husband and I are very pleased that we chose Capitol Solar Energy Company LLC to handle the removal and replacement of our solar panels, so our hail damaged roof could be replaced. The workers did an excellent job. Our dealings with Mr. Laurent were completed in a timely and professional manner. We are happy that they did not charge a penny more than their original estimate. Thank you for a job well done. Ida and Joseph Lash

Capitol Solar Energy installed a domestic solar hot water system in our house and we have been very happy with the installation, the performance of the system and the maintenance that the team has done since then. Not only Laurent and his team pay attention to details, but they also try to find the best solution for their client (affordable, long-lasting) every step of the way. I would definitely recommend them!

Terrible customer experience. They came out and took off the panels immediately so the roofing contractor could get his money, but they took 3+ months to come back and finish the job, which cost me $170/mo. Then they had the audacity to call and complain because they weren't paid immediately, even though it was their workers that didn't pick up the check we left under the mat for them. I do not recommend this contractor and will not be doing business with them in the future.
Edit: Owner was extremely rude to my wife and demanded full payment before the solar panels were reinstalled on our house

Laurent and his team installed a system on our home, for domestic hot water and heating, five years ago. It works great, and along with our solar PV systems we're nearly carbon free. I'd recommend Capitol Solar Energy to anyone. In fact I do already, to my own customers.

Capital Solar has worked on a number of jobs for me. The owner's are delighted with the quality of the product and I, as general contractor really appreciated their attention to detail and their working with me on the schedule. They arranged to have the home heated during construction which was a huge help to us. I recommend them highly!
