Repeat customer of Boston Solar

We had our first solar system installed by Boston Solar in 2014 and it has compensated for our electrical use by about 50%. Together with the SREC system we are well past the pay-back point and so decided to add a second system to our roof and it should take us to the net the zero point when in addition to the first set of panels. To get this new job done we had to employ part of the roof in front of our house and we love the look of the jet black panels. The two systems are now up and running and work together very well. You should definitely give Boston Solar a call as solar power is a great investment.

I interviewed three companies before deciding on Boston Solar. It was a great decision. the project started and was completed on time. They left the site clean. Everyone I dealt with was professional. I have already referred friends to Boston Solar.

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE SINCE DAY 1

Top notch company

There were several delays due to supply chain issues, but that was not the fault of Boston Solar. The work to install the panels took about 2 days, Boston Solar handled the paperwork and permits and set up with the electrical company. The whole process took about 6 months from first call to producing energy. I’m very happy with Boston Solar!

Boston Solar Delivered

For the second time we have purchased a solar PV system from Boston Solar. Everything went as we were told that it would. The Boston Solar rep and the installation crew were very friendly and cooperative. The most frustrating parts of the process were the waits for inspections before the system could be activated. However, we were told of the expected time lines, and Boston Solar handled all of the paperwork behind the scenes. In the end, the inspections and final turn-on of the system followed the estimated that we were told by Boston Solar.

If you want solar, talk to boston solar 1st!

If you've been interested in solar,I'm sure you have lots of questions.....I know I did. I picked boston solar because they are local and were great in answering all my questions. When I talked to Rick M. of boston solar he walked me thru the process from why solar....the cost.....the rebates....and the process from instalations to starting my system. If you though solar was to expensive like I did, you will find after talking with them, they are more affordable then you think.....I was surprised ! Going green is the way to go!

Our project is located in Gloucester, MA. We had a good experience with Boston Solar starting from the inquiry until the completion of our system, we looked into different companies but it all boils down to customer service for us, kudos to John Sacco and Katerina Bessey for making this experience hassle free.

We had a great experience with Boston Solar

I was referred to Boston Solar by my t-shirt. We had been seriously considering solar and had a few interviews with companies and I just didn’t have a good feeling from them. Then I noticed that Boston Solar was a sponsor for a 5K race I ran in my small home town and figured if they cared enough to sponsor our tiny charity race then I should do some research and give them a call. The reviews were good and we set up a meeting with their solar consultant. We met over Zoom due to the pandemic and it was fantastic. I hope they continue the Zoom option because it was a lot more low pressure than the in person meetings. Rick was our consultant and it didn’t feel like a sales pitch at all. It was all about problem solving. He had a plot of our house ready to go and put together a rough outline of how everything would look, went over the cost, the ROI, the incentives, and so on. Everything that we went over in terms of cost and array size lined up with the research that we had done on Project Sunroof and meeting with other companies so that was reassuring. We knew we wanted solar but we wanted to find the right company to do the work. I think the tipping point for us was the fact that Boston Solar does everything in house, they have no subcontractors and everyone you work with is employed directly by Boston Solar. Many of the other companies use subcontractors and I was concerned I might have the “lowest bidder” putting holes through my roof. Once we signed the contract we were assigned a coordinator Olivia who guided us through the process and who answered our emails and questions often within the hour. The installation took 2 days with supports/conduit being run on day 1 and the panels installed on day 2. I spoke with the foreman and the electrician and they were really knowledgeable and answered my questions about future projects. We may want to add an electric car charger and are panels someday in the future. They also worked with us to make a change to the plan as once they were on site they saw a better way to run the equipment than originally planned. I also appreciated how Boston Solar treated their team. The installation was in the summer and it was a hot day on a hotter roof and I noted that they were cycling people out, giving breaks, and drinking lots of water. It’s the right thing to do for people’s health and beneficial to the homeowner, if you are tired you are more likely to make mistakes. The day after installation we had torrential rains which was a good test as we observed zero leaks to the roof. The project passed inspection without issue, national grid swapped out meter, and we just turned the system on and are producing power. We are really happy with our decision to install a solar array. It will save us a significant amount of money long term while helping our community by taking demand off the grid and generating renewable energy. Definitely check out Boston Solar if you are considering it for your home.

Boston Solar Brings The Sunshine to Framingham

We were so very close to going with a different vendor. But I found John Sacco to be very transparent, easy to speak with, patient, and diligent in doing all of the research. 2020 was a difficult year as we all know, but I give Boston Solar alot of respect for keeping our project alive and moving it along at an appropriate pace.

Very professional and super technology

I was impressed from the very beginning. I did not want to work with a company that leased panels. Happy to hear that B-Solar only sold the panels. From the initial assessment I was impressed at how everything was explained from actual solar radiation with my home and how i would end up never having an electric bill again. Installers were outstanding and very clean. On time and professional.

Outstanding service at a good price

I started thinking of going solar few years ago but did not give it a serious attention until some months ago. I read a lot of reviews and contacted about 6 installers. Among the companies (national and local), I found Boston Solar outstanding in terms of initial visit, technical know-how, organization, timeliness, customer support and pricing. Starting with my first meeting with John, I was convinced of what I stand to benefit from solar installation. John presented his own zero dollar electric bill and explained how I can replicate the same. He wasn't "pushy" like some. He allowed ample time for me to decide. He was available to answer my questions. My installation process went smoothly despite the pandemic. Mali, my project manager is another outstanding staff of Boston Solar. He was on top of everything. The technical crew that installed the panels demonstrated high expertise. Unlike other panels installed near me, they ran the pipe conducting the positive and negative terminals through the attic so it wasn't visible on the roof. My panels are running fine and I am able to view both the production and my usage through the online program.

Exceeded my expectations

I chose Boston Solar based on a friend's experience, and I was not disappointed. Very glad to have gone solar with Boston Solar. Every person I dealt with exceeded my expectations. The sales rep explained everything thoroughly; the project coordinator kept me informed of everything from applications to permits; the site planner arranged the conduits to be unobtrusive from the curb; finally, the install crew went out of their way to work with my general contractor moving the meters because the siding was being replaced. 5 stars!

Excellent service from start to finish

After talking with several solar companies I decided to go with Boston Solar and couldn’t be happier with the decision. Their knowledge, expertise and professionalism was evident from the first consultation and continued through the completion of the project. In addition to the high quality products and workmanship, their customer service was top of the line. There is a significant amount of paperwork/coordination required to get the system online and they made the process as simple and easy as possible. I had a great experience and would highly recommend Boston Solar to anyone looking to make the leap to solar power.

Very Professional Company/Installer

Met with many installers and companies in the area. Only installer that knew their craft and went on my roof to actually see if what we talked about would work. I got the amount of panels and size of system that maximized my roof. Very happy that is also came with a guarantee on production. Now that the panels have been live for weeks, the info from the app is so helpful in determining my pay back and what else I can swap over to electric in my house to save more energy.

Great communication and amazing quality

I really appreciated the communication and teamwork throughout the whole process. I felt John really made a complex terrain easy to navigate and I didn't feel rushed or pressured into purchasing anything. I really appreciated Meghan's project updates and availability to answer my questions. The onsite project team were respectful of my property, communicative, and did an amazing job of installing the panels. To anyone looking to go solar, Boston Solar is an absolute must.
