Detailed Profile

Lumina Solar has built one of the fastest-growing dedicated residential solar practices in the Mid-Atlantic since the company's 2018 founding, with a Baltimore headquarters at its core and an active Delaware Solar Installers service line that explicitly covers the entire state. The company operates across Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, and Washington DC, and its NABCEP-accredited installer designation puts it in the top professional tier for residential PV — a credential our research team treats as the practical floor for inclusion in a state-level top-three.

What stood out is the trajectory of independent recognition. Lumina has been named to Top Workplaces lists by the Baltimore Sun (2023), USA Today (2024), and the Philadelphia Inquirer (2024); it has been recognized among Solar Power World's Top Solar Contractors; it was named an Installer of the Year award recipient in industry recognition cycles; and its verified review base now exceeds 900 five-star customer ratings — a substantial volume of customer-validated outcomes for an installer of this tenure. That combination of independent industry validation and customer-facing review depth is unusual in a young company and reflects deliberate investment in service quality during a period when many regional installers have been contracting.

For Delaware specifically, Lumina operates a dedicated Delaware solar landing page, which signals a serious in-state sales and design commitment rather than incidental coverage. Our research team noted that, as a Baltimore-headquartered operation, Lumina is competing in Delaware against in-state and longer-tenured installers, and prospective customers should specifically ask which Delaware projects the company has completed in their county, how Delmarva Power or municipal utility interconnection is handled from the Baltimore home office, and what the typical lead time is for warranty service calls into Sussex or Kent counties. The company's published service offering includes full installation, roofing coordination, and energy services under one contract.

With a composite score of 70.5 out of 100, Lumina Solar holds the third-ranked position in Delaware for 2026.
