Granite State Solar

Great job GSS!

Rating GSS five stars is easy - they earned it! The on site crew of Darren, Nate, Jake, Chris and Matthew were courteous, hard-working, professional, on time, organized, and respectful. Erik and his staff Justin and Tanya were helpful, prompt, honest and easy to work with. I wish all home improvements could be with this group of people! We're loving the sun power, but found some other 'power' in the whole GSS team!

So far so good

Granite State Solar was professional and courteous throughout the process. The quote given was exactly what the final outcome was. We asked them to change the length of the loan and they were able to work with us to get the loan payment adjusted to our long term financial plan. There was a glitch with the monitoring system which was not their fault and they were very honest with what the problems were and stayed with it until it was fixed. The workers were friendly and neat and worked overtime to get the panels on the roof. We have only had the system since June 8, 2016 and so far everything has been great. I would highly recommend this company.

Excellent Service

I was pleasantly surprised I received a quick response to my call for an estimate. They were on time and extremely professional. I like the honesty I received from the sales rep and chose them based on the professionalism and complete honesty. The installers were excellent. They worked extremely hard to complete the installation based on my schedule and kindly took time to explain to me what they did and the benefits to why they did it... Great follow up after install. I would recommend them to anyone .. Carl

Oustanding company. 7.56KW ground mounted system

I went with GSS due to the fact they were a local NH company and had better reviews than the national companies I was looking at. From start to finish GSS employee's were excellent. They answered all of my questions no matter how small. Their work crews were on time (or early), clean and professional. The entire process was as easy as it could be. My new system is working exceptionally well (last electric bill was $38) I would highly recommend them for your system.

Great Company and Products

23 panel system installed by GSS a bit over a month ago. Through the whole process everyone we spoke with was easy to speak to and courteous. We shopped around a bit with other companies but either felt pressured to accept a certain type of financing or pressured to accept a different type of system than what we purchased. GSS talked us through all the options they were able to provide and the benefits of each. In the end we felt much more comfortable going with GSS because they were able to design around our preferences at a great price point. Our installation was performed over two days, inspected and turned on not long after. The installation went very smoothly. All of the work is very clean and professionally finished and there was absolutely no debris left behind anywhere we looked. We're very happy with how easy the process was and the system we have installed now. We've already started recommending them to coworkers and family!

Granite State Solar was an excellent choice

I'm absolutely thrilled with my new All Earth Solar Tracker with 345 watt Sunpower solar panels. Erik Shifflett, partner at Granite State Solar, is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to do business with. My system was installed ahead of schedule and his entire crew did an excellent job. I would highly recommend Granite State Solar. Matter of fact, GSS is installing panels at my sons house next month. Michael Audley, Bow, NH

Great Company

After reviewing the numbers, and doing some comparison shopping, I decided to have GSS install a 16KW system on my roof (yes, I use a lot of electricity!). From start to finish, Erik and his team were courteous and professional, answering my (many) questions during this process. GSS did everything they said they would do, and addressed any issues promptly and effectively. My system has been running flawlessly for 4 months now and I was happy to see my first zero-net-usage electric bill last month. This is a company that cares about the quality of their installations. Loving sunny days more than ever now!

Fantastic Company!

We just got our solar panels installed on our roof a few weeks ago. We had looked at leasing solar panels, but had a friend recommend this company instead. We found that overall it is much better to purchase the panels than lease them. From start to finish Granite State Solar was fantastic to work with. They were extremely professional. Peter initially came out to go through our options with us and was very knowledgeable about the systems. Tanya did great handling our scheduling when the weather didn't cooperate for our first install date. The installers who came out were all friendly and very efficient. Took a total of 2 days and everything was complete for our install. We would highly recommend this company!

recent solar installation

We recently had a 26 panel system installed by GSS. I have to say that we are very pleased with the whole process. A couple of minor glitches were promptly corrected, and the system has since been performing well. We have yet to see our first power bill with the system on line, but we are optimistic that our power bills are ended. If this is something you are able to do, we suggest doing it. And if you have GSS do the work, you won't be disappointed.

Couldn't be happier with Graite State Solar.

From the very start up to the final walkthrough after completion this has been a pleasant experience with Granite State Solar. Everyone I have interacted with has been pleasant and helpful when needed. The installed system has exceeded my expectations. The installation crew was courteous and respectful and very professional in all of their actions.

Solar panels

I recently purchased solar panels from Granite State Solar and had them install them for me in February of 2016. I must say that the service I received from this company supersedes any other solar panel vendor. I was kept up-to-date on every step during the process. Everything was done on time and the panels were professionally installed. Now that I see my meter running backwards, all I can hear is chin, chin, chin... money in my bank. I highly recommend Granit State Solar to anyone looking to move to Solar Energy. Before choosing Granit State I went through 4 different vendors and only one of them stood out and impressed me with complete honesty and price... that's Granit State Solar. All the other vendors cared about is making the sale and focused mostly on leasing. It makes no sense to lease the panels when you can buy them at a fraction of the price, get government and state refund and own your own system. Overall, I am a very happy customer and can't wait to call Granit State Solar again to expand my solar system should the need arise.

7.19 kW in Candia

Going solar is something we have talked about for years but never bothered to look into. Candia & Deerfield were having joint town hall meetings on the benefits of solar installations which we wanted to attend but were unable to make. So we got the contact info off one of the GSS signs we saw popping up all over town and had our own private meeting with Erik at our home. Erik was very professional, courteous and punctual. He walked us thru the step by step process of solar conversion to our house which was at a 98 percentile location to the southern exposure. After our meeting with Erik we were sold. We were scheduled for late March early April then we got an e-mail from Tanya asking if they could start a couple weeks earlier. Once the work was scheduled we were in constant contact with either Tanya or Erik. They both were prompt with answering our many, many questions and concerns. Once the actual work began the instal crew were knowledgeable, courteous and professional. On day one of the install it was one of the coldest days in March and day 2 was one of the few days it snowed in March. Those guys froze their butts off but never complained and continued working, we even offered to have them come into the house to warm up but they politely refused and kept on trucking. All in all, we are very happy with our experience with GSS and would recommend them to anyone looking to go solar. Thank you again Erik, Tanya, master electrician Nate and the rest of the install crew (sorry forgot your names). You guys Rock!!!!!!

Billy... Windham New Hampshire

I started to research the solar option back in June of 2015.Diligently did my home work for about 4 months before i decided to really look into going Solar.I was into phase # 4 with Solar City,and then WMUR News 9 had a special on October 1st all about going Solar in New Hampshire.So i decided to DVR the special and watch it the following day.I can't tell you how impressed i was with the show.Three days later i made my first call to Granite State Solar, It was a Sunday Morning October 4th.I spoke to one of the owners Alan for a good 30 minutes and got him up to speed on where i was at the time with Solar City, By the time our conversation was finished i said to my wife that's it i am cancelling my contract with Solar City first thing tomorrow morning and we are going to purchase the system using Granite State Solar. She looked at me and "GO FOR IT". From that first phone call to the last visit from one of the installers i can't use the word professionalism enough.From start to finish and all the follow up in between i had no complaints what so ever. I would by far fully recommend Granite State Solar to any Residential home owner or Commercial Business Owner if they are considering going solar.Every employee weather in the office or on the job site was polite,courteous,very well mannered,and extremely professional.I can not say enough about the entire company. If your thinking about going solar! Don't think twice about.. "Granite State Solar"

7.7 KW in Salem NH

After years of researching this industry....I chose Granite State Solar for the installation of our system. My wife and I are thrilled with the experience with them. They were very professional and delivered a excellent job completion. I would HIGHLY recommend them for your solar project.

GREAT SERVICE!! 12.81kw Installed Hampton NH

Just like most people I would guess we started to get mailings from large solar companies trying to get you lease a system. At first it peaked my interest about Solar and cost benefits of a system. After doing some research I quickly realized leasing is not a good option and buying a system was the way to go. I contacted 3 different companies about purchasing a solar system for our home. I was luck to meet Erik of Granit State Solar. He took his time listen to our needs and developing a solution for us. The best part of the buying process was Erik was never push like the other companies we talked to. The other companies just wanted us to sign and give them money. Erik wanted to make sure we were comfortable with what type of panel we choose (LG305) and gave us the time to make the best choice for us. He is the reason we went with Granit Sate solar. I am glad we did choose them the crew that came out to do the instillation was very professional, respectful and if and when we had questions provided us with the answers. They did a beautiful job on the instillation. We could not have been happier with the work they have done thus far. Our System went live November 12, 2015 for the month of November we produced 890kwh of electricity not to bad for this time of year. I will say I am glad we choose Granit State Solar for our project and would highly recommend Erik.

Deerfield Ground Array

I am completly happy with the whole process by this team. They installed 56 panels/microinverters on my array in one day with a very courteous crew of 8 professionals.

Quality work - great service, strongly recommend

Friendly, knowledgeable and awesome at what they do. I was raised to prefer the superior service of a local company to a national chain and this proved good advice in the case of granite state solar! Prices were competitive with the national chains but the service was incomparably better. Aside from patiently answering our multitude of questions - our solar installation (which we own) was done so well it looks like it belonged on the house from the day it was built. No exposed wires, neatly mounted panels, great service and warranty, full transparency during the whole process - all exactly how we wanted it. Strongly recommend.

Throughly satisfied with our experience with this company.

It is rare these days to come across a company that keeps all their promises. Our installation went like clockwork, with all milestones and promises kept. Even rarer is to find a company whose entire staff, from salesman, to project manger, to site foreman, to grunts are patient and courteous. They were happy to have me watch them work, ask questions and shoot the breeze.

Roof and ground array installation - Newton NH

Was looking last year for a Solar installation company after the Unitil rates went through the roof. Reviewed 2 companies, one being GSS. I have to say these guys know what Customer Service is. I dealt through the entire sales process with Erik, and he was the best to work with. GSS designed our system based upon our yearly electrical usage, and worked with me through the entire sales process, answering numerous calls and Emails. The other company I reviewed looked at one of my electric bills and threw at me a system configuration that would not even meet my electrical needs. When I questioned them on it, they told me to start with this, and if I needed more, they would install more - really !! When companies tell you that they are a complete one stop shop - beware. The other company that I was reviewing (largest in NH) made that exact claim, and then shortly thereafter, started rolling off a complete laundry list of what they didn't cover - what a joke! With GSS their idea of being a one stop shop is just that - they do everything for you from start to finish. Their installers are as professional as they get. They're proud of the work they do - and it shows. They always kept their work area clean, and after they were done, they went out of their way to show me what they had accomplished. I would recommend GSS in a heartbeat. Best bunch of people to ever work with. Thanks GSS for all your hard work. Got my first electric bill, and what a difference. I went from a high of $400+ in January down to $13 - what more could you ask for. George Olsen Newton NH

8.1 kW Solar Powered Installation in Lyndeborough NH

I have been intrigued with solar power for decades but thought that the cost might not be recouped quickly enough. Fortunately the capacity and costs have moved in the right direction. Add the current Federal, State, and power company rebates, a net-metered installation becomes basically a "no additional cost" process. Granite State Solar has been a wonderful company to contract to do the work. Our first contact was February 10th. The solar assembly was installed over two days finishing before noon on March 30th. Eversource installed the net-meter on April 3rd after the building inspector signed off. Ben, the sales rep, was very responsive to our requests balancing current needs and increasing electrical demand of switching to electric hot water from current propane fueled boiler. My wife wanted the panel array to "look symmetrical" on the roof, especially since it would be the side facing the road. The final 30 panel array covers are main roof (not the offset portion) with a 2.5 inch margin on both sides! It could not have been designed to fit much better. While reviewing the proposal, there were several technical pieces that did not make sense to me. Some were ones that Ben could not answer. Alan the owner called me directly. He quickly gave me the proper engineering level answers I wanted (yes, I am one of those engineering types). Mostly I felt that Granite State Solar wanted me to be happy and knowledgeable about the system they would install. The panel crew was able to install the system working around the rain. Most importantly, the crew followed all OSHA safety rules while on the roof. At the end of each day, the ground was cleared of any work materials. They were very careful with ladders (our roof was reshingled last year). The electricians routed the wire conduits very discretely. The connections to our main power distribution box was cleanly done. Due to the addition being installed, our electrical service in on a temporary mounting (officially temporary after what was a legal location gable end became a second story). Eversource needs the siding to be completed before moving the service. Granite State Solar worked with Eversource to allow the net-meter to be installed before the electrical service is moved. (The siding goes on in a few weeks after a sunroom arrives and is installed.) When the building inspector came, Shawn, the master electrician, explained the details of the system. He broke the details down and could cite the applicable codes in a knowledgeable and friendly manner. The building inspector was happy with Granite State Solar's work (and my explanation of the temporary electrical service mounting (the building inspector just started recently and is catching up with open permits such as ours). In summary, both my wife and I have been very satisfied with Granite State Solar. They made the entire process from start to finish including the financing go very smoothly. We had the additional situation of a temporary electrical service drop. They are very professional in every step. We have both recommended them to friends and coworkers.

Great job Granite State Solar!

The presentation that explained this system to us was good, but the most impressive thing I found was that the installation crew was as professional as anyone could hope for. These guys were always polite, and I never had to worry about a construction crew at my home where we happened to have two college age daughters home for spring break. The crew was fantastic, and I love checking the meter to watch that electric bill roll backwards every day. These guys are great.

HOMEOWNER IN FRANKLIN NH

We would highly recommend Granite State Solar. The material and cost was as quoted, the product is of high quality, and all the paperwork from start to finish, including paperwork for incentive rebate, was handled by Granite State Solar. In the first two months of our use, even in the shortest daylight hours of November and December, we have seen our kw hours decrease and even sold power back to the utility company. Thanks to Granite State Solar for job well done.

Solar Energy Made Easy and Affordable

What a pleasure dealing with Granite State Solar! We were always interested in adding solar panels, but thought the cost and installation would be too much. Alan was a pleasure to work with, prompt, knowledgeable and helpful. His quote and assistance with rebate forms proved the system to be affordable. The panels were installed in a day and electrical connections made during another. It is a joy to watch our electric meter run in reverse! I would highly recommend Granite State Solar!

A Great Company!!!

Granite State Solar was a pleasure to work with. The installation was nice and tidy. The crew was very pleasant and courteous. They answered all of our questions and even took care of the paper work for the building permit, rebates and tax credits. It was painless!!! I would highly recommend them to anyone!
