Great team of professionals at Boston Solar

Boston Solar is a great company to deal with from first contact through installation and after they have been attentive, knowledgeable, accommodating and passionate about what they do. I was presented with several product options, after their input and my decision they guided me through the incentives my state (MA) offered and loan options. I choose to purchase my system. As soon as all the paperwork was in order, my job was scheduled and they met or beat their timetable at every stage. I am very pleased with the installation of my system, how it looks and it's efficiency. I highly recommend you consider the people at Boston Solar to fulfill your solar dreams and checkout their very detailed website.

Solar System for 26 Pratt Street, Grafton,MA-01560

Boston Solar is highly professional company helping their customers to install Solar System which is right for them. The sales process is streamlined and less painful. They do not pressure their customers unnecessarily and sensitive to their needs. Their engineers are expert in the solar energy field. They used top quality panels and inverter. Entire process from Sales to commissioning was seamless. Their technicians were very professional and courteous and took extra precautions to make sure that everything in the house remain in order. The project was completed on time and they had provided timely updates on the different stages of the project. They also provided post commissioning consultation if any additional question. I highly recommend Boston Solar if you are environment conscious and looking for high quality Solar System.

Professional, knowledgable and affordable

Producing my own power for over a month now and absolutely no regrets. I researched and obtained quotes from 5 of the top Solar companies in my area. Boston Solar was the only company to explain the advantages of owning vs leasing. I am so happy I chose to purchase the system and to start generating income rather than paying the electric companies. They have their own installation crews, electricians, back office support and sales people -- a big factor in my choice. Boston Solar is a true professional company - the whole project went ahead of schedule and they included me in every step. Their price was mid level as compared with my other quotes. The all black LG panels look awesome on my roof, clean and neat as the roof vent was relocated so no "missing" panels. I would highly recommend Boston Solar if you are considering going solar - at least have a conversation with them, you'll be fully educated.

Response from Boston Solar

Ron, thanks so much for the awesome 5 star review! We truly believe to receive the absolute best service and workmanship, all steps in the process must take place under one roof. Your all black LG panels are truly beautiful and I'm sure you will enjoy them for many years to come. Please continue to spread the good word about Boston Solar. It is very much appreciated!<br />- Nick Hoehn, Operations Manager

Great experience with Boston Solar

Our experience with using Boston Solar was one that went professionally, smoothly and efficiently. The information given by our sales consultant was to the point, no sales pitch, just the numbers that showed why solar was for us. Our project manager was efficient and did everything to ensure a quick installation, quickly organized inspections and the electric company. The installation crew was very good. They worked fast but safe and kept the areas clean. We would highly recommend Boston Solar.

Great experience

I cannot rave enough about Boston Solar. From the sales, to the service, to the installation, to the post installation service, everyone was great! They were all very transparent throughout the process letting me know the next steps. I had some delay, due entirely from my HOA, but Boston Solar was always in my corner. It felt great to feel like I had a team behind me. The sales team was great making sure I understood all the steps, which was very helpful since I knew nothing about solar before meeting with everyone. The free estimate was awesome. They walked me through the process and savings. Then moving forward I felt like I had a team at my disposal, it was awesome, every question I had someone was there to answer. The installation team was awesome! Friendly and efficient. They even sent someone out after installation to explain everything to me once more, just in case I forgot or didn’t understand prior to the system being on. I will highly recommend them to anyone who asks.

Response from Boston Solar

Brittany, thanks for the great review. HOA's definitely present their challenges, but nothing we can't handle. We are, as you mentioned, a great team to have your back, but please don't discount all that you contributed too. You were super helpful too! Thanks again and congrats on going solar. I'm sure you'll enjoy.<br />- Nick Hoehn, Operations Manager

Wonderful experience with Boston Solar

Great experience from start to finish. The sales rep did a very thorough presentation and answered all of our questions. We consulted with a different solar company first and were much more impressed by Boston Solar. Communication from our project coordinator was very helpful throughout the process, and the installation went very smoothly. High level of professionalism all around, and the panels look nice and neat. Very impressed with these guys and highly recommend them.

Boston Solar Install in Chelmsford

Boston Solar was professional at every step of the process. From our initial sales meeting with John, and with our inside sales representative Sana, both kept me updated every step of the way. Install crew number 3 came out and did a wonderful install job. They even ran some of the wires inside my home to avoid unsightly connections up to the meter. I recommend them highly.

Response from Boston Solar

John, thanks for the great review. One of the things that separates us from the competition is our willingness (and preference) to hide as much conduit/wires as possible in an effort deliver the most aesthetically pleasing product. I'm very happy to hear you were satisfied with the outcome. Congrats on going solar!

After speaking with several solar installers, Boston Solar is hands down above the other as far as clearly explaining the entire process and verifying that you completely feel comfortable and understand how everything will take place and work. Speaking to other installers they were not able to answer some of the basic questions I had and new the answers too from doing my own homework. Just can't say enough about the great experience I have had dealing with them. Everyone should at least check with them before making their final decision.

Response from Boston Solar

Thanks for the positive review! You said it best, if a company can't answer the most basic questions, why bother? We may have thousands of installs under our belt, but we still continuously train our team on industry best practices to ensure we can always answer any question that comes our way and deliver the best service and product possible. So happy you chose us and had a great experience.

Professional installation at its best

I had a 20K watt system installed 3 weeks ago and I could not ask for a better experience. From the beginning the Sales staff was great, no pressure just the information I needed. Customer support was always there, if they didn't have the answers they would get it in less than a day. Engineering and installation was topnotch, they filed for all permitting and inspections. If there was a snag it was resolved in hours not days. Thank you for a great job and saving me $400 dollars a month in electrical bills!

Response from Boston Solar

So happy to hear this great review, Mike. Often in construction, it's how well a company resolves "snags" that separates them from the competition. We're lucky to have all necessary resources in-house, which enables us to resolve snags super quickly, as you noted. Thanks again and enjoy the extra cash in your pocket!

Great Work

After reading reviews for dozens of installers and speaking with four of them, we selected Boston Solar to install panels on the roof of our home. The work was excellent and the panels they use are the best in the industry. The electricians were able to run the conduit inside the attic so that we don't have ugly exposed conduit on the roof and we have the solid black panels, so the system is very unobtrusive. Everything has worked 100% from day 1 and installation was very clean and professional. The prices are higher than the competitors, but I think it's worthwhile for the peace of mind that the equipment is high quality, installation is professionally completed, and we know they will stand behind the work.

Response from Boston Solar

Thanks for the glowing review! Our high quality materials and attention to aesthetics is what separates us from our competitors. We're so happy you recognized that and chose us as your installer. Please reach out to us in the future if you have any questions, referrals or just want to let us know how much you love your new solar system.

The best - price, quality, service

This is one of the best things our family has done for our personal finances, minimizing our carbon footprint and contributing to a positive environmental impact factor. The installation will save us money, allow us to get paid for generating electricity, protect our newly installed roof - what else could we ask for? The initial sales interaction was tremendous (Bill Martin) - honest, no BS, data-driven. The site inspection was well done, thorough and timely. Sana Jameel, customer experience coordinator is a jewel - constantly monitoring all aspects of the project. The installation crew was fantastic!! Cleaned up after themselves, answered all of my questions. Boston Solar was instrumental in us identifying competitive financing. Tom Sheridan did a very thorough job in the final site review and walk-through. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Great experience with Boston Solar

For years we had a large maple tree shading our south-facing roof. When the tree died, we thought our house might be in a good location for solar. Boston Solar was recommended to us. After our site survey they confirmed that we have a clear view of the sun all day from our roof. They calculated how much electricity we should be able to generate, and guaranteed that in writing. Every step of the way through the actual install they kept in contact, letting us know what was coming up next.

Thanks so much for the 5-star review. I'm very pleased that we were able to help your family go solar and cut your electric bills. Great to hear that our team provided top notch service too! Let us know if we can ever be of further support.

Exceptional experience with multi-family installation

We received several solar proposals over the years for our 2 family home. The technology has finally improved enough, and Boston Solar was skilled and capable enough, to allow for us to maximize production on our roof, covering over 100% of our energy production (allowing for some increase in energy use as our children get older, tenants change, etc.) They were the only company of all the ones to evaluate our home comfortable placing and guaranteeing production on solar panels on our flat balcony roof. Our layout is a total of 25 LG 335 w panels and it is functioning beautifully. I recommend them without reservation to anyone looking for experienced, trustworthy installer.

Very Happy with Boston Solar's Experience

From the first presentation explaining the benefits of the solar to turning the system on and watching the KWH increase in the online monitoring site, all went perfectly as promised and expected and even faster than planned. The people I had a chance to interact with were all nice and professional and available for any questions or concerns that I had during the process. The package (good quality, the swiftness in the action plan, materials used, material warranties and promised KWH production guarantee...) made me confident that I hired the right company!

Boston Solar - Great Experience

I found Boston Solar by looking for the top solar installer's in Massachusetts. As it happens the state tracks these things and I simply called the top three on the list for home review and estimates of system size and cost. Boston Solar by far exceeded my expectations. From the first email and phone calls to the final review of my installed and up and running system, Boston Solar really lead me thru the process. It was a long process with lots of things to consider, but it became a no brainer when everything was explained to me how the system, the state and federal government all pay me, over time so that the system eventually pays for itself. Yes, it is an upfront investment, but well worth it. Thank you Boston Solar.

Good bye electric bill - here comes the sun

As a manufacturing quality engineer I did a significant amount of research on the pros and cons of solar power including if there would be a reasonable cost savings over my sky rocketing electric bill. I then compared Boston Solar to other solar companies and decided to buy a system through Boston Solar. From my initial meetings with Josh through our final installation the process could not have been easier thanks to Mali the project coordinator assigned to our project. Every detail was managed by them and we were kept in the loop every step of the way. Our installation was performed in a day and a half and as I had specific requirements as to the system layout, the installers went over the plans before starting the job. I could not be more happy with how clean the install came out and the outstanding quality of the job. The best part is that from day one after flipping the system on I have not used any electricity off the grid. We will see what happens over the winter, but at this point I feel like I made the right decision. If you are considering solar for your home, consider Boston Solar.
