Boston Solar

Excellent incentives

After researching multiple companies and looking at leasing vs. purchasing, Boston Solar proved to be the best choice for us. Their sales rep, Sean O'Sullivan, walked us through all of the incentives that we qualified for that made purchasing our rig through a Mass Solar Loan a no brainer. Because of how our finances worked out, the only way we would be able to pull this off was to have our panels installed by the end of 2018. Luckily Boston Solar was offering a guarantee that if we signed our contract by the end of October, they would install the rig by the end of the year and they got it done for us on December 31st!

Solar panels

After a ton of research my husband and I decided to go with Boston Solar out of Woburn Massachusetts. Being A senior citizen I was a little nervous to go forward with such a large project. However , Boston Solar was with us every step of the way from the start to completion. We were always in formed about each step and all of our questions were answered in a timely manner. This is why we have given a five star review. So if you were interested in going solar give them a call you will be happy you did.

Great experience

In 2018 I had Boston Solar install a 13 kilowatt solar PV system on a 6 family home in Leominster. In general from beginning to end it was probably the best experience I've ever had Contracting a company! In 2017 I had solar panels installed on a three family home in Westborough (which were installed by a different Solar Company).While this experience was overall okay, after I had Boston Solar finish I understood there was a clear difference. Boston Solar salesman, and especially the project manager, Mali, were exceptional. Being a 6 family home made the project more complicated compared to a single family or even a 3 family. She understood the process inside and out, and was able to explain and walk me through everything.

Solar install

I shopped around and choose Boston Solar. The panels were better, price was better and they knew more about Massachusetts Solar incentives than other companies that are based out of states. The only work I had to do is get the loan, after that Boston Solar took control and did everything else. The process did take a couple months but it went smoothly and quick. Once the loan was complete installation happened days later. The crew was very polite and respectful. The Customer Coordinators were very quick to respond to any questions and provided explanations/updates throughout the process. The system is up and running with no issues. I am happy I choose Boston Solar.

After Christmas Install

The team at Boston Solar offer a great service and total package. The communication level is the perfect amount throughout the entire process. They offer a system with great value, with competitive price per kilowatt. They also give honest and candid advice regarding battery backup systems and do not try to up sell you at all. The only minor hiccup was the installation was originally scheduled the day after Christmas, but had to be pushed back a day. However, the crew still completed the entire task before the end of the year. Overall, I would highly recommend Boston Solar as a solar installer.

Easy process and well communicated

We received quotes from several solar companies. Boston Solar was able to guarantee an installation timeline. I also appreciated that the sales personnel was not pushy but was also responsive. The other companies I had quotes from either called me every other day to see if we had decided (mostly during times I was in meetings) or were unresponsive for well over a week. They were also easy to talk through options since while getting the system priced and quoted we were in the process of purchasing an electric vehicle. While I don't think with the EV our system will cover all our energy consumption for the year it'll certain help significantly. In a few years if we decide we want to produce more energy at home to hopefully net to zero then we would go with Boston Solar again.

Great Company

From start to finish, Boston Solar was very easy to work with. They were extremely professional, courteous, and very informative with their correspondence. I don't have one complaint about the company or the process. I would recommend them to anybody looking to go solar.

Owner

We had a lot of stops and starts in this process. There are so many different angles, so many moving parts, I can't see anyone getting a solar installation done quickly. That said, all the staff at Boston Solar, from the salesperson to the customer service to the installers, were pro and friendly and always ready to help.

Excellent Service

From day we signed contract to turn up date the whole process was seamless. It did take longer than I expected due to end of year rush and building permits and inspection delays. Our rep was very responsive and answered any question we had within a very reasonable time. She kept us fully updated throughout the whole process. Installation of solar panels and electrical work was done in less than 2 days. The whole process took 2 months. From sales to turn up everyone involved was very professional. Excellent local business.

Going Solar

Great company, solid communication. Overall great experience.

Satisfied Solar Customer

I am very pleased with my decision to have Boston Solar install my system. There are many solar companies that received poor customer reviews, so it was important to sort through all the companies and make the right choice on such a large investment - thankfully, I have no regrets with my decision! Boston Solar worked quickly to design and install my system. I had my initial consultation on 18Oct18, Panels were installed 13Dec18, and the system was fully activated producing solar energy on 03Jan19. The timeline was very close to what was presented during my first meeting with Boston Solar - Faster than I expected! As with many customers, I was concerned about the aesthetics of the panels on my roof, but I am very pleased with how well the black panels blend in with my dark roof shingles. There are no grid lines, so the panels don't catch your eye as easily as other companies panels that I see on my neighbor's roof's. All in all, very good experience, I would choose them again, they get my recommendation!

Amazing Experience

Boston Solar was exceptional from start to finish. The process was well documented, well explained and left no questions. The process was so good that the post meeting to explain the system only lasted 10mins!! It could not have gone better!! Very impressed and very happy..

Residential Solar Install SE Mass

From the first phone call to the final walkthrough, boston solar had excellent customer service. Our sales rep was knowledgeable and patient as we went through different proposal options and all of our questions along the way. Our project manager was very detailed oriented and thorough throughout the install process. She was extremely helpful and worked hard to get our project completed by the end of the year. We would absolutely recommend them!

Shop around; you'll still choose Boston Solar

Good friends recommended Boston Solar to me. Although I recommend getting at least another quote, Boston Solar's was the best. Even if Boston Solar wasn't the best price, I would probably have chosen them for my array, as the roofer I choose gave them a great recommendation. When meeting with the roofer, I mentioned I was going to put solar panels up. He asked me which company I'd be going with. I told him (based on the price) probably Boston Solar. He said, "Good. I don't want anyone else putting holes in my roof!" He also explained that solar companies come and go, but that Boston Solar has been around a while and will probably continue to be around... which is important if warranties are important.f The process was complicated - perhaps because of Boston Solar - but probably because it's a challenging project and the SMART program is new. The paperwork was annoying, but Mali helped me through it. Overall, I'm pleased with my decision to go solar and to do so with Boston Solar.

Good quality, quick service

I did not shop around too much. It seemed like Boston Solar was most popular installer in my area and had lots of information on its website. The visit with their sales rep answered all my questions and informed me on a few things I didn't even think of. So I was excited to move fast with them and not waste my time with anyone else. Quality workmanship. It is a lot of equipment, not just the panels and rails, but also conduit, inverters, and meters. Even though it was a lot attached and inside the house, the artisans did a great job keeping it a low profile. I really like the look of it. Quick service. I signed the contract on October 15 and was skeptical that the system would be operational by the end of the year. But by Dec 4th (less than 50 days), we were generating solar power. The great thing was how Boston Solar took care of everything. I just needed to sign contracts and write checks. Only time two times I needed to be home was when they started the two-day install so I could point out where everything was and then be present when the town inspector arrived. When I talked to the town inspector, he said he does lots of solar inspections, but not as many as when the tax incentives first came out. At that time, he said there were lots of fly-by-night solar companies that didn't do good jobs. He said Boston Solar has been around for a while and knows what they are doing. That re-assured me that I made the right choice in going with Boston Solar.

Unbelievable

Best company I have ever worked with! Top to bottom, no stone left unturned. From the consultation with Dan to final walk through with Tom, I couldn’t have been more pleased. With such a huge undertaking, I never thought it would be possible to feel comfortable until completed. Not the case with Boston Solar! The entire project was laid out from day one and completed ahead of schedule with no hiccups. Mali took the ball and kept it rolling after contract was signed. She was courteous, professional and the best ambassador a company could ask for. The communication was impeccable as every question was answered before it could be asked. Mali kept me apprised of what was going on and what was to be expected in the future. Everything she outlined with the project was straight forward and executed exactly as presented. The installation was flawless. Huge system installed in two days and no sign anyone was ever at my home! Mark did a fantastic job accommodating my needs for locations of conduits, equipment etc. Mali was there every step of the way and as soon as the install was complete, she was there to guide us through the next steps. I have become so accustomed to mediocre-subpar customer service and workmanship in this day and age. This company has really changed my outlook. Boston Solar is setting the bar for what is exemplary customer service and workmanship should be. Going solar is no small undertaking, do your research, research some more and go with Boston Solar!

Great experience with Boston Solar

We installed the maximum permissible system (15 kW) under the SMART program using Boston Solar, and every part of the experience was excellent. Courteous sales without feeling pressure. Price was 30-40% better than other installers. Installation was on time and cleanly done. Post-installation explanation of using their online app was simple and we had monitoring on computer and phones within a few minutes. Project manager kept us informed throughout the process, which seems at some times never-ending because of the all the Eversource and town inspections that are out of Boston Solar's control and can be frustrating just waiting. This was a home system but I would definitely use them if we ever put in a business system.

Good company overall, definitely recommend

TL;DR: If you want to save time from all the researches and headaches, just go with Boston Solar. It won't go wrong. We talked to 4~5 solar companies in the area, and finally decided to go with Boston Solar. Instead of trying to sell additional unnecessities, our sales rep Wayne genuinely cared about our situation, and was able to make accommodations for our needs. For the installation, they had the best price and great quality of equipment and services. After the installation, customer service and after sales support is also responsive and professional. The only minor disappointment I had is that the whole process took a few weeks longer than expected. However, we are not concerned with time, since it is only a few weeks for a commitment of decades.

One of the best Solar company

The price is Good.The rebate options, and the promotion incentive make the best price around. (i am still waiting for them) The Installation is smoothly, from start to finish very quick, only take 4hrs to install 22 panels on my roof . The communication is excellent, Mali, who oversaw my installation stayed in close contact with me by both email and phone and promptly and expertly answered any questions I had. I am glad to pick Boston Solar out of the three companies. I start to save money from now on. .

Great job!

Boston Solar did a great job with the installation of my solar system. Everyone that I worked with was very pleasant and professional. The quality of their work is very good and extra attention was paid to esthetics of the system. I would recommend this company to anyone considering solar.

Best and easiest company I have dealt with

This was a big decision and big expense. We interviewed over 6 companies. Boston Solar was the ONLY company that was consistent, 100% knowledgeable with their products, did not act like a used car salesmen, welcomed all our questions and were confident with their answers at all times. Best decision/investment we could of made.

Why I Chose Boston Solar Over Four Other Installers

Right from the beginning Boston Solar was superior. Previously, I had gone through the preliminaries with four other solar companies to no avail. The Boston Solar sales rep was different. His presentation was more proficient and his spreadsheets and graphics were much clearer than the other companies, so I was able to easily see my system's output and costs, my rebate options, and my long term benefits and savings. He made it easy for me to quickly find financing for my project and hook up with a lender that offered terms I liked. The project coordinator, who oversaw my installation stayed in close contact with me by both email and phone and promptly and expertly answered any questions I had. I especially liked that Boston Solar was based in Massachusetts, only 30 miles from my home, and that they had installed more solar home systems in MA than any other company. I felt confident that if I needed repairs or servicing in the future, they would be there when I needed them. The installation of my 32 panels was done by a crew that clearly knew what they were doing. When they came out to my house, they went over with me what they were going to do before proceeding. Afterwards, they made sure I was happy with my installation. I did notice that four of the panels were not positioned exactly where I wanted them. But, no problem, within a couple of days, they came out again and repositioned them. In every way, I am thoroughly please with my experience with Boston Solar and I highly recommend them. They were courteous, professional, efficient from start to finish.

Excellent Experience

Excellent experience from start to finish. Low pressure sales person worked with me to figure out best option for my situation. Project coordinator kept me informed and was easy to reach with questions. Install went as scheduled.

J. Roy

By far the best and most well put together solar program we had the pleasure of having a consult with. We sat and listened to over a dozen companies put everything on the line and ultimately Boston Solar was the most knowledgeable company around. Everything was spelled out from start to finish from the first day meet and great to the last day National Grid switched out the meter and we went live. Couldn't have asked for an easier and non invasive process. Every person at Boston Solar from the salesman to the roof installers went above and beyond including informing and clearing out a birds nest I had in my gutters! Thank you for making my switch to solar painless and enjoyable. Now bring on the SUN!!

Great Value

Our experience with Boston Solar was second to none! Professional, efficient, punctual and respectful are some of the words we would use to describe the people we met. From our salesman to our contact through the process, to our technicians' last visit, all outstanding! We would recommend Boston Solar to anyone thinking of going solar, Boston Solar is the solar company you want. We are not disappointed and you will not be either.
