Last year I was walking my dog in a neighborhood close to my house and I noticed that a new neighbor had installed solar panels on her roof. She happened to be working in her front yard when I stopped her to ask about the solar panels. She took the time to explain why she decided to go with solar power and that the president of her solar company lived in the same neighborhood. I was impressed with what she said and she gave me the contact information for SkyNRG Solar Systems.
I got online that day and did lots of research on solar energy in Virginia. I also contacted Robert Mudry to inquire about the cost and benefits of solar power. The next day Robert called me for a quick chat on the phone then walked over to meet and talk to me about solar power. Because I didn’t plan to move my family any time soon the plan he outlined with the cost vs. benefits plus federal credits seemed like a reasonable choice for my situation. We looked over my current electric and gas use and discussed several options.
After connecting with my Homeowners Association to confirm there wouldn’t be any negative repercussions and speaking with several neighbors, my family chose to hire SkyNRG to start our Solar Power adventure.
We met again with Robert and his assistant Megan to order the supplies, provide a down payment and make a plan of action to get started with this project. It took a few months for the panels to arrive but once we received them Robert’s team wasted no time scheduling the installation. It was a pleasant surprise to see the amount of professionalism and care his team took to respect my family’s home, keep me informed on current activities, and communicating next steps. The assembly and installation only took 3 days.
After the installation Megan and the SkyNRG office kept me on track with paperwork and inspections for updating the electric meter connecting us to the power grid with Dominion Power and setting up the SolarEdge phone apps to monitor solar energy use at my home.
A few months later I was contacted by Gina who notified me that by enrolling in the SREC (Solar Renewable Energy Certificates) program we can earn credits when we generate enough solar power which can be sold.
Even later in the year when we had siding replacement and chimney repairs at my house, SkyNRG came back to temporarily remove a few panels to allow for more roof space to work on that construction. A few days later they were re-installed and solar power at my home was back to normal.
My system is remotely monitored by SkyNRG and again I’ve been impressed with occasional calls or emails letting me know that my home network went offline due to power outages or home routers or access points going bad.
It has now been a year since our home solar power installation with SkyNRG and our system accounts for roughly 70% of our total household electricity (more in the Spring & Summer vs. Fall & Winter). It will pay for itself in less than 10 years and we feel like we are helping to save Earth.
If you are considering solar power as an energy source at your home, I encourage you to have a conversation with Robert, Megan, or Gina at SkyNRg.
Sincerely,

Outstanding customer service (Megan) and phenomenal installers!! Jason and Dmitri arrived on time and in 90+ degree heat, resolved a solar panel issue, that kept them on the roof for 3-4 hours. I did everything I could to make sure they had enough water and Gatorade and am thankful that they were able to successfully complete the job safely. They were very reasonably priced, as another local company quoted me a price that was 5x more. I cannot say enough about these folks and am happy they are local and thankful that I found them. Thanks again to the guys for a job well done!!

We were concerned that installing a major solar system for our home would be very disruptive. But SKY NRG made the experience seamless and easy. They were professional, schedule oriented, and thoroughly explained each step of the process. We now have an amazing solar panel and battery system that has exceeded our expectations, performing very well under the recent 100 degree summer weather in our area!

Sky NRG Solar Inc. provided a complete and usable ground-based solar system in accordance with the contract and they met my requested schedule. The solar system was commissioned in December 2023 and has performed flawlessly since then. For the last six months the solar electric system has performed at 100% of my consumption. I am very pleased with Sky NRG Solar.

I hired Sky NRG Solar to install several new outlets and a subpanel in my garage. I was very impressed with the quality of their work, their professionalism, and their punctuality. They arrived on time, completed the job within the estimated time frame, and cleaned up after themselves. They also tested everything and walked me through the multi-GCI setup to ensure I understood the many failsafes built into the system.
The new outlets have made my garage more convenient and versatile. I can now use my power tools, charge my electric car, operate a lift, and listen to music without hassle. The electricians also advised me on how to avoid overloading the circuit and how to prevent fire hazards.
I highly recommend Sky NRG Solar to anyone who needs any electrical work done in their home or business. They are reliable, courteous, and skilled. Juan in particular was on of the best electricians I have ever worked with.

Exceptionally professional experience with SkyNRG from start to finish. Installation quality is notably superior to anything else we've seen in nearby residential solar installations. I only wish they would have offered to paint the conduit that runs along the gutters so that it would blend in that much better. But the conduit is well concealed and not noticeable unless you really look for it. Highly recommended!

We had a great experience with Sky NRG and couldn't ask for more. They had great communication on the expected timeline and necessary steps, worked with us to design a solar system that worked best for our home, and helped us identify quality roofing and tree-trimming companies to get the most bang for our buck. We love our panels and the real-time monitoring app. Highly recommend!
