Shockoe Solar

Row houses in the historic Richmond Fan District are a challenge for most solar contractors. This was a "flat" roof by most standards, but clearly isn't "flat".

Spotsylvania Towne Center Apartments are looking extra sexy with these solar panels!
If you know a developer who is interested in increasing their NOI, please let them know about Shockoe Solar. Solar can instantly increase the value by more than the solar costs. Ask us how.

KBS finished their second off-grid field office. This a is a gorgeous example of efficiency. There are 3 mini-split HVAC units, lights, bathroom, and receptacles. The Lumen Smart Panel can automatically she and unnecessary loads if the battery level goes down past specific % of charge.
Matt Kamstra at KBS spent a considerable amount of time on this and it looks great.

If you know anyone who uses mobile field office trailers, please introduce us. We can help them end the need for temporary electric power or noisy generators.

With more and more of the largest and most parasitic solar companies going out of business, it is becoming clear that you need to select a solid local installer with an excellent record.

SunPower ceases residential installations, lays off 1,000 SunPower just sent an email to its employees saying that it will "wind down" residential solar installations and lay off 1,000 employees.

This was a conversion from an SMA string inverter to a SolArk all-in-one. We used Fortress Evault 5.4kWh batteries (2) and installed an essential loads panel. Ryan Phaup and Luke Stanley did an excellent job as always.

Removing trash from the roof made easier with the forklift dumpster!

Just a reminder of what you should see from an eclipse.

The eclipse left its mark on production today. All customers looked the same. This one is in Matthews, Va.

We proposed using sheep for managing vegetation at Park 500 but Standard Solar thought it was ridiculous. Some people can't recognize a great idea until they see others already doing it. They assume that if it was a good idea, others would already be doing it. These people aren't innovative or creative. Don't be like that! Recognize good ideas and be creative!

If we ever record an album, this will be the cover. Tyler Debus (lead singer in the front), Luke Stanley (guitar and harmonica on left), and Nick Lewke (drums and cow bell on right).

After a wild goose chase trying to locate an ARC fault these guys were so happy to find a faulty MC4 connector.

We can't "MAKE" you read this, but anyone interested in solar should read it! Even if you AREN'T interested, you should be prepared for the door to door sales people and social media scammers!!

Meet the Solar Sales Bros How social media and the promise of profits has fueled misinformation in the residential solar industry.

Bonaventure's Attain at Towne Center is getting some sexy solar panels. We are installing the Unirac NXT UMount racking and QCell 400W triple black modules paired with Solectria 25kW 208 3ph inverters.

Luke and Jackson servicing this Solectria inverter at Scott's Edge Apartments. Ryan's troubleshooting skills are on point! A stuck button was causing the inverter to cycle over and over!

There are many Sigora Home / Sigora Solar customers who are panicking due to an apparent collapse of this business.

If you have a partially installed system or a non-functioning system, you are not alone.

Shockoe is very busy but we will do our best to provide service to former Sigora customers.

Please contact us through www.shockoesolar.com and we will do everything we can to assist you.

We removed this entire array so the customer could replace their roof. This system was installed by Sigora Solar but the customer chose Shockoe Solar to take on this task. Excellent work team Shockoe!

Western Henrico! We are in the neighborhood. Let us give you a quote. These are QCell 400W panels that would look great on your home. Anyone in Twin Hickory? Also, see our other post about discounted panels... same warranty!

Discounted Clearance Sale! This is the 1st time in 15 years of business.

Everything is brand new with warranty. We want it gone! Sounds like a furniture commercial, but we really don't have the space to keep all of this.

Recently we were clearing out our inventory and boy do we have a lot of "extras" that could be yours. We have a complete Enphase Ensemble battery backup system, SolarEdge 7.6kW and 10kW inverters, many pallets of REC325W black panels, some REC 400W, some Znshine 400W, and a few others. We have 2" ground screws for ground mounts and lots of XR10 rail (black).

Don't get "PEGged"
We get calls regularly from people who chose the wrong company. This customer used PEG Solar (now Nexus Solar) who did a terrible job of installing the junction box on the roof which resulted in massive leaks. They also didn't install any overcurrent protection (fuses) for a line side tap which could have caused a fire or electrocution.
Research and don't believe the shiny ads and promises that are too good to be true. Coming soon--- customer has a Sigora nightmare! We are naming names. Treat customers right and you won't have to worry!

What makes Shockoe different?

We enjoy our work, enjoy each other's company and take tremendous pride in our work.

We hope to have an exciting announcement in the coming days/weeks. Here is your only clue. If you already know--- don't tell!

Don't get scammed! This company is finally out of business but the "victim support group" has 2400+ members! The amount of fraud in the solar industry is insane and primarily committed by the biggest solar companies (that's how they got big!)
