Great experience with Boston Solar
We loved working with them from start to finish. Our sales rep was knowledgeable and “normal,†not slick or pushy. The inspections were handled and installation went smoothly, Meyer conversion seamless, and we are up and running. Now just eager for long sunny days.

Residential Solar Installation
The folks at Boston Solar did a fantastic job on my installation from start to finish. I met with their sales rep in late November 2017 and the system was installed on Feb 5, 2018. All approvals were granted and the system was fully operational on March 25, 2018. All of my questions during the process were fully answered by Mali Cooper from the home office and there is simply nothing negative to say about the company!
Response from Boston Solar
Thank you, we appreciate the high marks and kind words! From Mali to our install teams and all the back end support for our projects, we all appreciate the opportunity to build your system together to bring sustainable energy and savings to your roof!<br />-Stefan Rosellini, Customer Experience Manager

Boston Solar was excellent through the entire process of the solar panel installation process. Bill was great explaining the benefits of the solar panel system.

Solar Panel installation by Boston Solar
Excellent company to work with. Sales person explained not only the details of installation and helped to get the system sized for our needs, but also explained all the financial details and helped us to get the loan. Design and installation coordinator was awesome and got the project completed within 70 days. The installers were professional, thorough, tidy, on time, wiring was nicely tucked, cleaned up very nicely everyday, worked with the town inspector, and with Eversource to get the net meter installed. We wholeheartedly recommend Boston Solar.

Excellent company, great work
We are very glad we went with Boston Solar. From start to finish, everything they do is in-house - their own electricians, roofers, inspectors, project managers - and that made us feel assured of the quality we would get. Their approach to assessing the roof was much more technical and thorough than any other company we considered. Anytime we have contacted them, they've been extremely responsive in answering our questions and concerns. They are thorough, communicative, and professional. We highly recommend them- the experience could not have been smoother. (Thank you Bill, Sana, and everyone!)

A pleasurable experience
Boston Solar has been a pleasure to work with. I was impressed with them from start to finish. We had looked into one company before Boston Solar that gave us one option for a solar system. Boston Solar worked differently: We were given at least four options of possible systems with differences in panel output and number of panels. For each option, we were told the electrical output and how much we would get back from state and federal governments, and SRECs. Also, I found Boston Solar’s solar consultant very knowledgeable about the technical details of solar power generation and distribution. Wanting to explore the possibilities some more, their solar consultant generated a few more options on his laptop for us to consider. He also advised us to consider future needs—we were already planning on air conditioning, but he advised us to think also of other possibilities, such as electric cars. So we bought a system that produces quite a lot more than our current use, which I am very pleased about since I’ve decided to get a heat pump installed to handle air conditioning and to lower our winter heating costs. Boston Solar did an excellent job of upgrading our electrical panel (we had a mid-1950s fuse box), installing our panels, getting the necessary permits, and working with Eversource to switch us over to net metering. They also put us in touch with an excellent solar loan company (BlueWave) and told us how to apply for rebates and tax deductions from the state and the federal government. There were more steps involved in getting solar panels than I had imagined, but Boston Solar made the whole process a pleasurable experience. I highly recommend them.

Couldn't ask for more
Boston Solar did a great job with our system, from the initial sales call all the way through to activation. The sales rep was more knowledgeable than the reps from two other companies we talked to. The engineers were flexible in handling an unexpected twist during the planning phase. We were assigned a Customer Experience Coordinator who did a fantastic job of communicating with us and coordinating all efforts. The installation team was polite and professional. Our yard was spotless when they left - no construction debris littering the yard. The panels look great - sleek and clean, with no visible cables.

Cannot go wrong with Boston Solar
I did not have a perfect experience with Boston Solar, not even close, and yet there is STILL no other company I would rather recommend to anyone considering solar than Boston Solar. They are not just one of the best, if not THE best, solar company out there, but I think they are one of the best COMPANIES, period. I've never experienced such care and attention to making sure I was fully informed at every step of the process, and that any and all problems were completely and thoroughly resolved, if not the same day, by the very next day. Projects of this size can rarely be executed perfectly - there is almost always a hiccup or two. But the best companies care deeply about their customers' satisfaction and take full ownership of any issues that come up, then work diligently and quickly to resolve them with as little disruption as possible to the project and the customer. This describes Boston Solar perfectly. Not only do they offer an excellent product and a compelling financial case (even to clients with a less-than-perfect site in terms of roof angle/slope, partial shading, etc), but they are really just a great group of professionals that is 100% focused on doing right by their customers. You will not regret going with Boston Solar.

ZERO regrets - NONE!!
The entire process couldn't have gone better. From beginning to end, every person from Boston Solar was pleasant, informative, and always felt like I was their most important customer. We were hesitant to sign up, not knowing if the credits were as good as advertised but after running the numbers 1000 ways, I know it couldn't go wrong. We chose the LG black on black panels because they're on the front of the house and they virtually disappear on the black roof. Our neighbor didn't notice until after a month! I also appreciate the interactive app and website from SolarEdge to see the production real-time. Very cool overall. After the system was turned on, I noticed one panel wasn't producing and contacted Sana. She was able to see it on her end and sent the guys out right away. Unfortunately for them, it was 5 degrees outside, but they still got up on the roof and swapped out the bad optimizer. Is it worth it? Its clean energy at a cost next to nothing. Ask yourself - " Why not?" and then try to come up with a good answer.
Response from Boston Solar
Thank you so much for the fantastic 5 star review! It's great to hear such positive feedback.
