We worked with Open Sky Energy to have our new solar panels installed. I appreciated that Joe had a few calls with me to walk me though beginning to end how the panels would work, what steps would be part of the install, and how it could help in my electric consumption. The estimate was over to me quickly and walked through by Joe and while not the cheapest I trusted them the most as they had the best customer services and reviews and to me that is the most important. I also appreciate they can maintain our system in case of any issues and later learned they can even see our system with the app that is used in case of any issues to diagnose it virtually if possible. Way cool! When install day came they were fast and communicated well what was needed by me (not much!) and what they did. Their office assisted with getting us set up with PECO and answered all my questions. We are up and running and already seeing the ROI! Would highly recommend!

OpenSky Energy helped me out after another company that had installed solar panels on my roof went bankrupt before connecting them to the grid. Open Sky did the connection on time, on budget, and to my full satisfaction. They handled everything very professionally. I can wholeheartedly recommend them.

Open Sky Energy is a great company to work with. No pushy sales pitch, just honest, knowledgeable, friendly and patient support during the entire process. Two of the founders did the actual install, I don't know how you could do better than having that kind of expertise on site. Everything has been flawless in our system, and during the literal hottest August in recorded history we paid $0 for our electric. There's also good ongoing communication after the installation and support to get setup with credits from the state. I would absolutely recommend Open Sky Energy to anyone who wants to get their installation done right and know they'll be supported if needed.

Open Sky is very skilled and knowledgeable about the solar industry. They work with their clients to explain clearly the installation process and help tremendously with the various paperwork needed to get up and running--with local permits, PECO application, etc. They monitor our installation so that when there was an issue one time, they knew about it before we did, and they came out right away to fix the problem. Both Joe & Michael are very patient in explaining how solar works, how many panels are needed, and what to expect in your electric bills following the installation. With the addition of our 2nd set of panels facing west, our electric bills have been almost $0 since January, and we still have kWh's of credit for future bills. Open Sky is a small business, and the owners (Joe & Michael) are experts in the field. We recommend them without any reservations!

I was in the market for solar panels and wanted to see if the offer I received from my affiliated panel installation company was truly offering "the best deal" I could get. As a result, I decided to get quotes from a few local solar companies.My experience in conversation with Joe Coyle regarding solar panel installation at my residence has been educational and honest. He was frank with me on the breakdown of the supplies cost and had been extremely helpful in simplifying the pros and cons of each type of panels available in the market. All of this took place without any expectations that we would go with his company.At the end of the conversation when I provide our quoted price from the affiliated company, he immediately explained to us that this is the best deal we could get and recommended us to go with the vendor. He further explained that the savings we yielded would far outweigh any poor jobs done by the installer if corrections are to be made.I was floored by his honesty, professionalism, and selfless devotion of his time despite knowing we would not be a customer.

I had previously rated Open Sky low and after discussions with the owner we cleared up our differences which stemmed from the COVID backlog that his company faced and my frustration on trying to have my 14 year old installation back up and running. Open Sky showed up a week ago with a double crew at 8:00 am and had all my old BP panels removed and replaced in accordance with the BP Class Action Settlement by 2:00 pm. They were pleasant, professional, and through. I am happy to amend/correct my original assessment.

The team is great to work with. They explain everything clearly and will repeat it if needed. They understand the homeowner's perspective on solar energy, and they are truly committed to the environmental benefits of solar energy. Michael & Joe also work with legislators and governing agencies in Harrisburg to encourage equal footing in the alternative energy markets for solar energy. Their work ethic is strong, and they complete the work in a timely manner.

Open Sky Energy rocks! My wife and I begun a journey to install solar panels on our roof. We contacted 5 different solar companies and decided to work with Open Sky. Joe and Michael did a phenomenal job from start to finish! We look back on this experience and feel fortunate to have connected with Open Sky Energy, a relationship that will continue into the future. Many thanks Joe & Michael!!!

Spoiler alert - we loved working with Open Sky and highly recommend them.Some background about our home:My husband and I embarked on a project to build a Net-Zero Certified Passive Home back in 2014, and Open Sky came highly recommended for solar. In 2016 we broke ground, and I began calling solar companies to get more information. Joe from Open Sky answered the phone and spent a full hour explaining solar panels, tax credits and all the details to connecting to the PECO grid (which used to be way more complicated and expensive). He was patient and thorough, and I came away with a full understanding of the process. Unfortunately, we immediately hit structural issues on our build and solar panels were removed from the plan because of budget constraints. We finished the house and were certified Passive in 2017, and in August 2019 were finally ready to install solar. I immediately called Joe!Joe and Michael were very transparent throughout the process and made us feel extremely comfortable every step of the way. Our installation was estimated at 3 days, and they finished within that time frame. We had some weather on the second day, but that was when most of the inside work happened so it did not push our timeline. They were onsite for the full installation. The team was wonderful while they were in our home.PECO installed our meters quickly, and the city inspected soon after, and we have been net zero for energy since then!I would highly recommend Open Sky to anyone considering a solar install. They are honest, and finished our project within the expected installation time frame and on-budget.

Great team to work with. On time, on budget. Willing and able to work within my constraints. Pushed the township and PECO to approve the request when township and PECO delayed their responses.

I obtained proposals from three companies and the proposal I received from Open Sky Energy, while neither the least, nor the most expensive, was the most detailed and thoughtful with respect to my particular needs and plans. Joe spoke with me at length about various options for panel placement on my roof, and types of panels that could be used , along with the pros and cons of the options. I ended up having panels installed on three different levels of my roof. The project timetable was as projected aside from some external delays imposed by permitting processes slowed by COVID. Prior to installation Joe and Mike both came over to detail the site further and provide options for placement of electrical meters and shutoffs on the exterior of the house. They also personally came to prep the attachment of the brackets to my roof given that I have a rolled asphalt roof, which is not your typical roof type recommended for solar panels. Installation was very professional the site was clean throughout the process. As soon as the panels were installed, PECO was contacted to change my meter and within a day, Joe came out to turn the system on and educate me on using the software for monitoring the output of my panels. The panels are operating as planned and I couldn't be happier with the process and the final result. I highly recommend this company!
