Wonderful people, successful project

We had a solar ground mount installed in our field last November. The crew hit ledge on every ground screw, so had to spend an extra day working here, but they pulled it off and the project looks great. We didn't produce much power over the Winter, but I still had fun cleaning snow off the panels after a fresh dump. Now that we're into mid Summer, our system is producing twice our monthly electric use and banking credits for next Winter.

Suncommon's Improper Installation Caused a House Fire

Suncommon burned our house down and won’t give us a refund for their improper installation. My husband and I purchased Solar Panels from Suncommon at the end of 2021 and they were installed in March of 2022. On May 24th, 2023 a fire broke out where the solar panels were connected to our electrical panel, causing such extensive damage to our home that we were displaced for over a year while the entire house was basically rebuilt. After a three-month investigation (slowed down by Suncommon’s lawyers), it was determined that Suncommon improperly installed our solar panels, causing the wiring to overheat and start the fire . We are finally back in our home, but we are still paying off the loan on those panels that sit on our roof doing nothing, while also paying our electric bills because Suncommon will not refund us for the panels and installation. We’ve been given estimates telling us it will cost between $7000 and $9000 just to remove the panels from the roof, and Suncommon has not only wasted our time and money with depositions to avoid payment, but they also declared bankruptcy and requested a “stay” in our case. This company is awful and they’ve put us through hell. We are just praying that they do the right thing and reimburse us.

Getting Solar in the top of Vermont

From the first stage of contacting SunCommon to the final one of watching the installation crew roll away, we had an excellent experience getting our solar array from this team. They are true professionals and nice people to boot.

Battery power back-up Installation

As an existing Suncommon solar customer, I was very interested in a notice from them about a good deal for a lease from Green Mountain Power for two of the new model power back-up batteries. The new model batteries are designed for unheated space installations such as my unheated garage. I signed up for the installation last fall. Due to a delivery problem from the battery supplier, installation was delayed until 3/25. It was worth the wait! All of the design work was completed ahead of time and the installation was scheduled for the next day after being notified about the availability of the batteries. The crew and installation work were great and I am very pleased with the result.

good company

I want to share my appreciation of SunCommon and recommend the company for solar installations. We recently engaged the company to install a solar canopy with battery backup at our house. We were given excellent advice and guidance during the design and planning phases, and each person that came on site was professional, patient and knowledgeable. Canopy installation went smoothly, despite the underlying bedrock, and we were greatly pleased with the look. The rest of the installation, from trenching to battery installation and pairing with my phone was conducted with neat, efficient, and diligent work by the SunCommon technical group. Every workman that came shared their enthusiasm for the product and their collective experience in making them work. I highly recommend SunCommon!

Very happy with our solar from SunCommon.

We've had our panels for over 10 years, and have been very happy with them. We were also glad to add the Tesla Powerwalls when they were available, and they have made storm watching so much easier and less stressful.

Great company, great service

Great customer care and service! It's been a year since we've had our solar system installed (at our residence), and we love it. Smooth install, quick response to any question, providing solutions to any concern. Joe Hughes, who we mostly dealt with, has been great; knowledgable, responsible, responsive, attentive. Install work was clean and smooth, follow up was great! A real pleasure!

An example for skilled trades everywhere!

From initial contact to actual solar installation was just over a month. It would have been faster but apparently there was a defect in the inverter (not their fault). EVERY step of the way was easy to understand, easy to communicate, and they undercut their main competition by (not exaggerating) $8,000 for a better system. I am just so thrilled with the care and professionalism from minute one with this company. Wow!

Excellent Process & Product!

Suncommon really was amazing, throughout the whole solar experience. They had the best quote of all the companies we contacted, *and* were the easiest to work with. They were with us every step, made it as easy as possible - and now our array is up and producing!
