We were disgusted by our electric bill (that month was $900) so we decided to look into solar. My brother used Alex so we reached out to him. We had 928376338 questions and Alex was patient and held our hand through the process. Even after installation, we had questions about different things and he was right there helping us. He didn’t disappear once we had the panels on our roof. Our home is approx 4.5k sq ft of living space and we have 8 people living at home (my mother is on oxygen so that’s running 24/7). Our latest electric bill was $5!!! The amount we pay for the panels each month is lower than our usage was. The panels are paying for themselves and we could not be happier. Would absolutely recommend Alex to anyone thinking about solar.

Had a fabulous experience! I am a type A and very detailed person and the entire process was a shear pleasure. Our grid in Brigantine finally opened up when I contacted Alex Lukacher! He came to the house the next day and took both my wife and I through the process step by step. We came to immediate agreement as not to delay the potential shutdown of the grid. My wife described Alex as Charming while I appreciated his attention to detail and transparency. He also glows in the dark with his bright yellow/green attire which seems to be his memorable statement! Their team did load calculations and submitted all required documents for approvals. Once approvals were cleared their team came out to start the install which consisted of 25 panels. The electrician Brandon was incredible and exceeded expectations to ensure all wiring was hidden in attic and wire runs were not obvious. He was on site an entire day when city inspectors came to ensure continuity and smooth approvals. Joe and install team were fabulous. They completed everything in 2 days. It might have been one, but one panel was shipped cracked and was replaced the next day. They were very neat and meticulous. They worked efficiently without complaint on an extremely hot day. I am now looking forward to a modem solution to mitigate the crazy AC electric costs. Alex is still following up to ensure all finalized paperwork is completed with AC electric and the State incentive program. He will also train me on an App on the iPhone that will monitor each panel output individually and overall generation. Kudos to the entire team!!!

I couldn't be happier with my experience working with Alex from ARS Solar. From our very first conversation, Alex was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me find the best solar solution for my home. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions without pressure, and made the entire process simple and stress-free. What really stood out was his honesty, responsiveness, and attention to detail. It's rare to find someone who combines expertise with such excellent customer service. The installation process was smooth, communication was excellent throughout, and I felt confident every step of the way knowing Alex was looking out for my best interests. If you're considering solar and want to work with someone you can trust, I highly recommend Alex and the team at ARS Solar. Thank you, Alex, for making this such a positive experience!

The thumbnail version is, I'm very happy with my solar installation; it consistently exceeds expected production. Following brief communications by text, I met with Alex Luckacher who answered my questions concerning system size, production, installation and warranty. I chose ARS to install new roofing and gutters too. The work proceeded as planned and finished in accordance with the schedule. The installers were neat and clean with the work. My monthly electric bills have been less than a good cup of coffee. Alex provides a comprehensive evaluation and answers the questions. You will not be disappointed. PS: He has copies of my ACE bill, he can show you! Thank You Alex and ARS!

I have owned my solar system for almost 6 years now and couldn't be happier. Right from the beginning when Alex came to my home and explained all of the options I knew I was in good hands. He explained everything clearly with no bait and switch tactics. Then the ARS team did a wonderful job installing my system in the most professional and courteous way. I haven't had an electric bill, even the monthly $6 service charge from AC Electric is covered by the excess credits which I have accumulated.Also the SRECS I have produced has netted me over $17K. So if you're ever considering getting solar, Alex and the ARS team are the way to go.

Avoid

If you are considering solar, and considering Advanced Renewable Solutions (A.R.S. or ARSolutions), I would advise you look elsewhere. I met with my salesman, Alex, who spent an abnormal amount of time telling me how honest he was (Should have been the first clue), last year and purchased a system with an expected turn on of October/November. I was told that I would have 60 days of Solar running with no payments and a minimal ACE bill. Part of the pitch was with it being on in that timeframe that I would bank enough credits that I would be able to cover my electric bill in the summer with AC use. When I began, my ACE budget plan was running $240 a month. So now we are in March, I am still producing no solar, a $300 solar bill, in addition to my ACE bill. I am not generating SRECS to offset the fact my solar payment is higher than my normal ACE bill. On multiple occasions during this dreadful process, I would not hear anything for a couple weeks, so I would reach out for an update and their response would be that I needed to provide something or sign something. As an example, I had not had contact for two weeks. When I asked for an update, the response was the TWP did not approve their design and that they needed me to select between two other options. How long was that info sitting on someone's desk and would it have ever gotten to me if I didn't ask? Other responses were ACE needed yet another copy of my monthly ACE bill. This was always asked as a response to me checking in for updates. I would find it difficult to believe it is a coincidence that everything that they needed from me would suddenly pop up the same day I was looking for an update. Last week I received a series of emails from ConnectTheGrid that there were errors in the application submitted, so who knows what delays this will now cause? The only response I get from the salesman is that I will know before he does when it will be able to be turned on. All I have is $50,000 (much higher than other estimates) of worthless solar panels. I am now speaking to a lawyer to see about having A.R.S. come out and put my house back in the condition they found it, as it seems they have their money and see no need to provide service. Don't know if I have any recourse though, as I am sure their contracts have them covered. Also my warranty is ticking, so that won't be what I was promised by the time it comes online, which I can't even get an estimate on. So again, avoid A.R.S. at all costs.

One of the best financial decision I've made!

I have had my ARS installed solar system for over a year now. As far as the workmanship and design, I was really concerned about how the panels would look on my roof as I really wanted it to be symmetrical. ARS designed my system around all my wants and needs and they were very accommodating considering all of my concerns. They helped facilitate a needed new roof as well! Everything went seamlessly, very clean and respectful workmanship. It is performing exactly the way Alex explained it would. I have earned over $3,200 in 12 months and most months my electric bill is under $5 even during the summer. Before signing with ARS, I had several solar companies reach out to me. I almost signed with one until I read the fine print and saw that I only would be saving just a little off of my electric bill and that it was actually a 20 year lease that escalated 2.9% every year. That was not explained to me at all. They were very misleading and did not explain all of the incentives that I was signing away. Thankfully I pulled out of the contract in time, but I lost trust in the industry. About a year later I saw an ARS/Nextek commercial, loved that they were a local company and that Alex (my solar consultant) was actually our Babe Ruth baseball coach. I felt solar was a scam so I decided to ask him what the deal was. He came out to my house, explained everything thoroughly and was very patient with my many, many questions. He explained why these solar companies are so eager to get to as many people as they can. There’s a lot of money to be made for going solar in NJ and that’s what they’re after. I have zero regrets going solar with ARS. I am confident that I found the best company to work with and I know they’ll be with me for the long haul. It’s one of the best financial decisions I have made
