Our Services
At Lumina Solar, we provide a comprehensive suite of services to address every step of the transition to clean renewable energy. You can access all of the services you need through one provider, reducing the hassle of enlisting multiple contractors to get your project over the finish line.
SOLAR INSTALLATION
Save money and save the planet by making the switch to clean solar energy. You can see vast reductions to your monthly energy bill by going solar. Our team takes the time and care to design and install a system that works for your needs. We utilize industry-leading solar panels, inverters, and bracketing to craft a system that stands the test of time while providing excellent capture efficiency.
SOLAR MAINTENANCE
Solar panels are built to be resilient to the elements. But like any technical system, issues can occur over the projected 20-25-year lifespan of your array. With regular maintenance, you can ensure your efficiency stays high and small problems don’t balloon into larger ones. Our sister company Fusion Solar Services provides detailed maintenance and damage prevention services to protect your system for years to come.
ROOFING SERVICE
Your roof plays an integral role in going solar as the primary support for your system. Sometimes, a roof may need repairs or a full replacement before being viable for solar. Other times, you may need work done on your roof after you’ve already gone solar. Fusion Roof solves both of these challenges by providing expert roofing services with a team trained in the complexities of solar.

Are Solar Panels in Delaware Worth It?
One of the most common questions we hear is whether or not going solar is worth the investment. The truth is, it depends. However, those who will see a positive return on investment (ROI) are a much greater number than those who won’t. Our team believes in full transparency. If we don’t think solar is the right choice for you, we’ll communicate that. For most home and business owners though, solar is an excellent option to reduce energy expenses. There are a variety of options to spread the initial cost, such as a $0 solar loan. Federal, state, and local incentives help reduce the upfront expenses of installing solar panels in Delaware. In addition, solar panels are shown to create an increase in property value.
And of course, there is the positive impact transitioning to clean energy has on the environment. You can make a tangible difference by leading the way in your community and embracing renewable energy.
Solar Incentives in Delaware
Tax Credits
Solar incentives help you offset the cost of going solar. One common form of incentive is tax credits that allow you to deduct some of the expenses of going solar from your income taxes. The Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit is a key incentive available when you go solar. Renewed and increased by the Biden Administration in 2022, the ITC allows you to deduct 30% of your solar installation costs from your income taxes. This credit is designed to help home and business owners alike make the transition to clean energy.
Utility Provider Rebats
Delaware does not have state-administered solar incentives. Instead, major utility providers in the state have their own incentives you can access.
Customers of Delmarva Power have it the best with the Green Energy Grant Program. You can claim $700 per kilowatt (kW) of production capacity, all the way up to $6,000. This means the average 6 kW could net you a rebate of $3,600 dollars.
Meanwhile, those who have utilities through DEMEC can claim a green energy rebate worth $1,000 per kW. However, this incentive has a lower ceiling, capping out at $3,500.
Lastly, those who get energy through the Delaware Electric Cooperative can claim incentives of $500 per kW installed. This rebate maxes out at $2,500.
Delaware SRECs
Solar renewable energy credits are a way to generate passive benefits simply by using your system. Delaware counts it among the states that mandate an aggressive transition to renewable energy in the coming years. By 2035, the state aims to generate 40% of its energy through renewables. To help accomplish this, utility companies are authorized to meet some of their metrics by subsidizing your clean energy generation. For every megawatt hour of energy generated, you get one SREC. These credits can then be listed on an SREC marketplace, where utility companies purchase them from you. SRECs are a great way to subsidize your own energy expenses over time.
Net Metering
Like any energy system, you’ll go through periods where you consume more or less electricity depending on the season, weather, and other factors. When your solar panels in Delaware generate more energy than you can use in a given day, there are two options. The excess power can either be stored in a battery storage system, or sent back to the electrical grid. When you send electricity back, your utility provider will grant you net metering credits. These are used to reduce your energy costs in periods when you’re using more energy than your solar system can generate. Net metering is another passive benefit that helps bring down energy costs throughout the lifespan of your system.

A Team of Solar Panel Companies in Delaware
We understand the process of moving to a new energy system can seem complicated. That’s why we’ve built our family of companies to tackle each area of the solar transition, from design and implementation to maintenance and roofing services. What this means for you is a more cohesive transition experience. No need to line up unrelated contractors and coordinate every step.

Our Process as a Delaware Solar Company
We take care to walk you through each step of the installation process. Details matter to us, and we’re always ready to answer questions you have throughout your solar journey.
Step 1
Consultation and Design
We begin with a comprehensive consultation process. We’ll use satellite imagery and advanced AI technology to create a visual rendering of how a solar array could be tailored to your roof. In this phase, we’ll work to address any questions you have and craft a custom system that meets your specific needs. After a digital rendering is worked up, we’ll send our team of surveyors out to take measurements that allow us to finalize your system design.
Step 2
Permitting
As with many home improvement projects, you may have to go through a permitting process to outfit your property with solar. We take care of the permitting steps for you, coordinating with state and local governments, utility companies, and HOAs to get your project approved. This allows you to go solar without the stress of dealing with all the bureaucracy that can come with it.
Step 3
Installation and Activation
Once permits are out of the way, we can complete the installation. Typically we can have your system installed within a few hours, though larger installations may take a little longer. On occasion, adverse weather conditions may slow installation or cause us to reschedule the installation date. Once your system is installed, we’ll schedule an inspection from the local utility authority. They have to give the green light before your system can be turned on. Once granted Permission to Operate (PTO), your system will be activated and you can begin generating affordable clean energy.
