Earthlight was a great company to work with. I knew what I wanted and they improved upon that. The installation crew was prompt, effective and clean up on the roof and in the garage. The design/project manager was exceptionally knowledgeable and creative. I'm glad I went with Earthlight!

Basil Lu | Orange, CT | 02/25/2025

Had a great experience with everyone involved. They answered all of my questions when it came to all my options and each step of the process without any fluff. And the project was finished in the timeline they provided for the most part. The best part of it was that they weren’t pushy like all the other solar companies that came knocking on my door.

linda butler | Madison, CT | 02/24/2025

Professional, efficient, great communiction

We got our system last year - solar panels and battery backup. Earthlight just took care of everything, and kept us informed as to the progress through the various town and electric company wickets. Part way through the panel company went under and these poor folks had to start over. But they still got it done. The installation is neat, everything was explained to us, we've had no problems. I would highly recommend this company for solar.

Michael Girosky | Durham, CT | 02/21/2025

After we decided to go solar, we researched several companies and hands-down Earthlight was the absolute best. Their sales team was professional and knowledgeable, providing details about the panels and installation process and complete timeline. No questions were left unanswered. Once the installation started, it went off without a hitch. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and very respectful. Once it was complete, they took the time to explain the entire system and it’s working to me. I could not have asked for a better overall process from start to finish then I received from Earthlight. I highly recommend Earthlight for anyone considering going solar, they put the customer First.

Jon | Amston, CT | 02/18/2025

This was a replacement system. I lost my old system due to a lightning strike and when I needed it they were okay with the insurance reaching out directly to them. It took me two years of dealing with the insurance company before getting the okay for replacing the system. The people at Earthlight stuck it out with me for those two years. The technology has change since my old system and they answered any and all questions I had. They did a fantastic job on install. They are a great group of people to deal with in all their departments.

Bryan | Wethersfield, CT | 02/14/2025

Great Service

System is working very well, installation crew was very professional and kept the system hardware as discrete as possible. From the street there is no indication solar exists which was a huge plus.

Amy | Simsbury, CT | 02/06/2025

Excellent company! Skip the others and head straight for Earthlight. They are honest folks who work hard to exceed expectations at every opportunity.

Eric | Shelton, CT | 01/19/2025

Superb sales and service! Am I dreaming?

Our flight was recommended to me by a close acquaintance after having a successful installation at their house. However, due to my nature, I felt the need to compare prices and to vet several other companies out as far as due diligence is concerned. There was always something wrong with the other companies, whether it be high-pressure sales tactics, significantly higher prices, materials of questionable quality. Everything with Earthlight was perfect. I was never pressured through sales. I chose to go with premium equipment, but I paid more 20% less than some competitors offering comparable equipment. There are some companies out there using some very shady sales tactics, and offering lower end equipment. Stay away from those folks. As far as I know, I am a third generation referral, and everyone in that line is thoroughly pleased with Earthlight. If you don’t know anything about solar, and you don’t have the time to do all the research, but yet you still want to green, then you only need to make one call: Earthlight.

Jim | Andover, CT | 01/08/2025

Professional

Great job and experience with Earthlight Solar!! Professional staff and workmanship

Patrick J. | Simsbury, CT | 01/06/2025

New customer

Excellent work start to finish and the follow up.

Mike | Sweet Home, OR | 01/06/2025

My solar system was installed quickly and is very clean and neat in appearance. The system works as promised without any input from us here in the home. The installers and the office personnel are always polite and very concerned with any question's we have had. I give them all a solid 5 star review. Thank you. ...Mike.

Joyce E. | Manchester, CT | 01/02/2025

I highly recommend Earthlight Solar & Energy Solutions. From the salesperson to the installers, everyone was professional. Everything was explained in a manner that I could understand. There was never any pressure. During the installation, I did not like that a conduit was showing. They came back and worked to conceal the conduit. This was not an easy task. Earthlight worked diligently until they could hide the conduit.

Mitch C | Wilsonville, OR | 01/02/2025

Highly Recommended

Earthlight Technologies truly exceeded our expectations. Everyone we have dealt with, from the design team and the office staff to the electricians and installers have been super friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They communicated with us every step of the way, ensuring that we knew exactly what to expect and when to expect it. Our install was completed ahead of schedule and it works great. We had considered three other companies. Look no further! Earthlight Technologies is the one you want for your solar project.

Kimberly | Colchester, CT | 12/30/2024

Jay Chabot was recommended by my coworker. I was going back and with Trinity solar Jay was not pushy, always had prompt responses to my questions.

Derek | Ellington, CT | 12/26/2024

Promises Kept

After reviewing my electricity production from Earthlight earlier this year I realized 3 very important things. They actually under promised on the amount of energy my panels would produce, my lease payment has stayed exactly the same since I started, and Eversource has raised their prices consistently since I left almost 3 years ago. The entire process was excellent start to finish but you can't say enough about a business who is honest and professional enough to actually understate how well their solar equipment will do on your home. Thank you everyone.

Mike in Tolland | Tolland, CT | 12/24/2024

Service with a smile

Everyone I dealt with was very competent and always friendly. While the project start date took longer than I expected, once started it went very smoothly and every step was explained beforehand. This ensured a very smooth transition to owning my own solar powered system.

Bob Crowther | Simsbury, CT | 12/24/2024

Going Solar

Earthlight exceeded our expectations for the installation of our solar panels. From the sales process through completion of the installation, communication was excellent, the staff very professional, and the workers outstanding. We were very pleased with everything.

Jean Pierre Lessard | Simsbury, CT | 12/23/2024

Simply the best contractor experience!

We purchased our solar system and have been absolutely thrilled by it. The salesman was professional, knowledgeable and not pushy. The installation and management of my job was turn key, I knew every step of the way what was happening. The actual install was clean, neat, symmetrical and delivered as it was designed. We oversized our system for future family growth and here we are 4 years laters absolutely crushing the utility company! Hands down one of if not the best contractor experience I’ve ever had. We had numerous companies come in and deliver shady sales pitches, aggressive tactics and seemed very unethical; but that was not the case with Earthlight Technology. We recommend everyone to Earthlight. Hope this helps you choose!

James Donohue | Ellington, CT | 12/23/2024

Earthlight Review

My entire experience with Earthlight has been top notch. The Office Staff handled everything leading up to the install. The installation crew was professional and completed the work in a timely manner. The commissioning went smoothly and the follow-up has been great. Earthlight is a first-class organization.

Manny Pedro | Ludlow, MA | 12/23/2024

Service and Installation

Excellent service throughout the entire process. Great communication throughout as well.

John Markelon | Goshen, CT | 12/19/2024

From design through installation and follow up after 90 days of low Carbon production, Earthlight has been a stellar company to work with. I highly recommend their team of highly skilled engineers and technicians. We now have a fixed electrical bill to power our 2400sqft home including hot water, cooking, our EV, and supplemental heating.

Robert J | Greenwich, CT | 10/22/2024

Recently completed a large solar panel installation on my home. I'm very happy with the product that Earthlight proposed, installed and continues to maintain. Firstly, during the design and installation phase they were efficient and timely with the install. Secondly, during the first few months of operation and ironing out any bugs, Earthlight monitored my panels, and noticing any items not working properly they called me, scheduled a visit, came in and made the repairs proactively. Given the upfront cost of solar panels, it is reassuring to know that Earthlight takes their product warranty and reputation seriously.

Tom S | Portland, CT | 07/27/2024

Outstanding!

Earthlight was a joy to work with. We dragged our feet a bit, but the sales team was never pushy (something I cannot say about some other companies we met with). As new panels became available, which fit our design better, we signed the contract and paid a deposit. We had expected to wait 4-5 months for the installation, but an opening appeared after two months and we grabbed it. The installation crew arrived on time, and all of the panels were installed in a day. The workmanship was outstanding. Our system has been producing electricity for three months now, and we couldn't be happier. Everything is working perfectly.

Paul Hnath | Ashford, CT | 07/25/2024

Sunny days

I’m very pleased with the whole process with Earthlight. Ben in sales was very knowledgeable and helpful. Heather was great with scheduling etc.. All in all everyone in the office is polite and helpful. The survey people were very helpful and explained everything. I deal with many subcontractors at work and can honestly say that your installation crew totally impressed me with their quality, organization ,cleanliness ,politeness and instructions. It was a great experience working with all of you. The system seems to be performing better than I was promised. So far all negative Eversource bills. Thank you so much Paul

Kozmada | Vernon Rockville, CT | 06/18/2024

Great company!

I'm happy I chose to go with Earthlight. They made the process easy to understand and kept me up-to-date the entire time. The installation went as expected without any issues or concerns. The system was up and running without any flaws or hiccups. Really excited about owing Eversource absolutely nothing these last few months!

Dennis Kupferschmid | Ellington, CT | 06/06/2024

Kupferschmid

Earthlight is an exceptional company. Although the process took about 8 months, they explained everything, every step of the way. We knew exactly what was going to happen and when. They followed their projected timeline very closely. The workers who installed the panels were knowledgeable, friendly, neat and installed our 35 panels in less than two days. They were always ready to answer any questions we had. Best of all, our last two Eversource bills arrived with "No Payment Due"!

JImmy Tran | West Hartford, CT | 06/05/2024

Very professional, I had a million questions before agreeing to go solar and they were very prompt with responding and ended up giving me the best deal. Day of installation was quick and easy. Highly recommended

Dan & Mandy | Putnam, CT | 05/29/2024

The experience was excellent from beginning to end. Job was done before original expected finish date.

Eric L | Willington, CT | 05/15/2024

Amazing company!

My wife and I were shopping around for solar and the best panels, best company, lowest price, and so on. Earthlight checked all the boxes! If you are thinking about going solar, don’t go with anyone else. This company is by far the best. The customer service is incredible, and the product they stand behind. Everyone I’ve been in touch with has been extremely friendly and informative.

Michele | Terrebonne, OR | 05/14/2024

Great Experience

We searched around and interviewed many solar providers, and Earthlight was the clear winner in price and product. They made all the steps in the process easy to follow, from approval to energization day. They are responsive and friendly. Highly recommend.

Robin M | Ellington, CT | 05/07/2024

Best Investment Ever

I've had solar for three months and it has already surpassed my expectations. Earthlight was great to work with. They provided a time line for the installation process and met it perfectly if not ahead of schedule. Communication was great, workers were polite and neat, staff at the office were friendly and helpful. Overall a great experience.

Drew | Broad Brook, CT | 05/03/2024

Solar Installation - Easy and Seamless

I just hit the 90 day mark after having solar installed and it could not have been easier.

Susan S. | Tolland, CT | 04/25/2024

Exceptional customer service and professionalism throughout the entire process. We are thrilled with the quality of the work and product, long term savings, and positive environmental impact.

Summer Sheldon | Silverton, OR | 04/25/2024

Best experience!

We loved our experience from beginning to end with Earthlight. We had shopped around and not only was Earthlight the cheapest, they were the most professional and friendliest. Answered all my questions, were never pushy, etc. Great experience all around.

Brian D | Suffield, CT | 04/23/2024

Fast and professional

They came very quickly, did the install and answered any questions I had. We had switched from gas heat to heatpumps and needed an addition done and they were very helpful at figuring out how much more energy we needed to add.

Jim Sroka | Enfield, CT | 04/18/2024

Exceptional

From start to finish the process was smooth, efficient and professional. This is by far the most impressive company I’ve worked with. Exceeded my expectations at every step of the process. I would recommend Earthlight as the first company to go to if you are looking at going solar.

Kim K | Danielson, CT | 04/14/2024

Wonderful Company

This is our second house we put solar panels on with Earthlight. They are a fantastic company to work with, very professional, very knowledgeable and great customer service. We highly recommend them if you are looking to go solar.

Jim M | Windsor Locks, CT | 04/11/2024

EarthLight has been attentive to my project

EarthLight has kept up with clear communications ever since the contract was signed. The install went smoothly and I am now enjoying a great production with credits on my Eversource invoices. I would highly recommend EarthLight.

Heidi | Windsor, CT | 04/10/2024

Great options and value!

We have had our solar panels and system installed for over two years, and we have had nothing but a positive experience. We have not had an electric bill in the past two years, and we actually receive credits back for the excess power we produce with the solar panels. Earthlight was respectful, convenient, timely, and easy to work with. Highly recommend to anyone considering solar power.

JimN | Bend, OR | 04/02/2024

Outstanding Personal Support

We couldn't be more pleased with Earthlight and can recommend them without reservation. From the first encounter to the completed solar installation, they've been attentive, informative, transparent and responsive. Outstanding communication and two steps ahead of us anticipating our questions. They adapted the designs to address our comments and needs, were always cost conscious, and led us through the installation and approval process without drama or surprises. Outstanding all the way. The installation team was professional and engaging. The follow-up team to get inspected and energized made the process convenient, efficient and timely for us. Earthlight also took care to make sure we were aware and have all of the documentation we need for state and federal rebates. The process was almost as satisfying as seeing our system generate power, and as of March, start banking it for next winter. I should add that the system equipment is simple, tidy and working flawlessly. The power generation estimate so far seems spot on. The smartphone app to monitor the system is easy to use and informative. It's fun to track power generation and grid import/ export in real time. And so, we are happy customers.

David J. Dow | Meriden, CT | 04/02/2024

No Company better.

I went with EarthLight Technologies because of a long standing relationship with them. I have no regrets. Professional, reliable, and by far the most educated solar company in New England.

Kim | Granville, MA | 03/28/2024

Knowledgeable, efficient, responsive

Overall great to work with. Answered emails quickly and handled all aspects of install with efficiency.

Troy | Suffield, CT | 02/29/2024

Earthlight delivered better that quoted

Ben Carlson was our Sales guy. He delivered on his quote. System was installed 3 months earlier then scheduled at the cost quoted in the contract. All the people involved in the project were professional. They came out on schedule and complete each aspect of the job on schedule and left the area clean. System has been up and running 3 months, with the good weather in Feb, system generated more kW than we used. I can monitor the system on my cell phone. Overall very pleased with the system

Raymond Schaefer | Canterbury, CT | 02/08/2024

The SUN POWER team has been grate to work with.

It is all way's grate when you ask questions and get the right answers . Thank You Very Much. Ray Schaefer

Nina G | Manchester, CT | 02/08/2024

Fantastic from planning to final walk-through!

Our household is working to electrify everything we can to stop using fossil fuels. Getting our solar panels from Earthlight has been an integral part of our overall plan. They were supportive in designing a system that would cover our current as well as our planned eventual electrical use. The sales, installation and project management staff (especially Ben, Joe and Heather) answered our numerous technical questions and helped us integrate the planning of systems upgrades we needed from our utility company (not related to the solar installation itself). Earthlight was able to get the most efficient SunPower panels and install them more quickly than some of the other companies we considered. Pricing was also very fair compared to others. I recommend Earthlight highly!

Linda Morris | Salem, OR | 02/06/2024

Highly recommended company!

We received solar panel bids for our home from several companies. Earthlight stood out above the rest! A few of the top positives for Earthlight were; their local presence, their partnership with SunPower as a master dealer, and they came in with a price and value that we felt really good about. The communication every step of the way was excellent. We are so happy with our panels and the system as a whole. I highly recommend using Earthlight Solar & Energy Solutions!

VC | Middletown, CT | 02/05/2024

Great service

Earthlight is a wonderful company to work with. They inform every detail in advance and make solar process very easy to the clients. After installation service also great and staff is very helpful and attention to detail.

Aaron | South Windsor, CT | 02/02/2024

Professional and Great Value

I had a fantastic experience with Earthlight at every step from the sales process to install and turning the system on - turned on just 3 weeks ago. I found them to be knowledgeable and customer oriented. Some solar sales guys are quick to speak bad of their competitors, but Earthlight refrained from doing so - instead relying on what they offer and price to speak for itself. I spoke with several companies and found Earthlight to offer the best value.

Joe Burger | Broad Brook, CT | 01/22/2024

Solar Lease Cost is Way, Way Too High

The lease lists $204.43 as the average monthly cost if I had stayed exclusively with Eversource. that number was generated at a time when Eversource rates were extremely high, in the $0.24/kWh range. It's back down to around $0.147/kWh, and other suppliers are less than that. So Earthlight Sunpower came up with a lease rate that was extremely high, and the cost benefit identified in the lease will never happen. Shame on me for falling for this arrangement. Other than the exorbitant lease cost, the installation crew, it's electricians, any personal contact with Earthlight, the actual installation and the app for following the system's performance, are all outstanding. Absolutely no complaints.
