Its one and two star share is 1 point below the typical installer in District of Columbia. Across District of Columbia, 12 of the 22 installers whose breakdown Google has published carry a higher share than this one.

The percentages are Google’s own arithmetic over every review it holds, not a sample we assembled. Separately we hold 6 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

Each mark is one company we hold in District of Columbia whose Google breakdown has been read, placed by its share of one and two star reviews. Circa Energy is the red one. The amber line is the middle of that set, which includes suppliers and maintenance businesses as well as installers.

    Working from home, I had more time to investigate solar. You may have heard other solar fanatics say it's the best decision they ever made. Well, I'm here to say it's definitely one of the better decisions I ever made. My fellow Washingtonians, find the time to meet with this solar company!

    I was referred to Chip from my neighbor who got solar from SolaCity 10 years ago. My friend is not so sure about SolarCity, but said Chip is the best and has always been there! I just want to say this company went above and beyond, thank you, Circa Energy!

    I chose Circa Energy because they were the most knowlegeable and confident. The install works and looks great!

Reviewer names are not published here. Negative reviews are shown first because they are the ones a listing hides, not because they are more representative.

What the company says about itself

Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.

  • Warranty

    “the labor that was not covered under warranty and would have costed me a few…”

  • Family owned

    “on time. I also LOVE that this is a family-owned business. They truly care, and it…”

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on Yelp. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.
  • It posts on YouTube, X, LinkedIn and Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

As Google published them when we last read the listing, not a live check. Ring before you drive anywhere.

Who Google shows alongside them

Google’s own “people also viewed” set, in Google’s order. It is Google’s comparison, not ours.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.

What we don't know

  • The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
  • We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
  • We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
