Great Service
We received highly professional service from SunCommon from the initial sales contact with Nick to the implementation overseen by Jake. They were flexible in dealing with our complicated schedule, were quick to respond to our queries, and delivered exactly what they promised. The installation crew were efficient, courteous and knowledgeable.

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.

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!

My experience with SunCommon
About ten years ago I had a concrete slab installed with plans to build a shed. Along comes a stroke and that plan put on hold. As the years passed solar power started to get a lot of attention. I began to think about utilizing this slab for some kind of solar array My adventure with SunCommon began while driving down I-89 when I decided to stop at SunCommon headquarters to get some information. No one around except for a young lady who helped me fill out form on her office space computer. The next day I received a call and a time was set to meet with the solar. home advisor. He arrived as scheduled and reviewed my situation. I love post and beam construction and a canopy solar system was designed. By luck the post and beam canopy was a perfect fit for the concrete slab. Next came the evaluation person who did the initial layout. The foundation crew had to cut the corners of the slab off to accommodate the installation of 7ft ground screws. The concrete was thicker than anticipated which turned into quite the project. All eight screws were installed into ledge which had to be drilled. This phase of the project was delayed by extreme weather , heavy rain and lightning, and the FLOOD. My road was impassable along with many roads between Waterbury and my house, but within a few days things were repaired and ways of getting here were figured out. The erection of the post and beam canopy was done on the most beautiful day imaginable. What a beautiful structure. The foundation crew came back and did trenching and electrical conduit in pouring rain. The installation of the solar panels and associated wiring and equipment took half a day. I must say that all the people and I mean all the people were very polite, respecful of my property, extremely neat. and willing to explain and answer any questions or concerns that I had. SunCommon gets a grade 10 from me. I highly recomend SunCommon. David Bertrand

Inverter replacement
Sun Common installed my system 2017. Recently I had an inverter issue. It had to be replaced. It was under warranty. They ordered a new one and came out and replaced it. The system has been great. I would have them do it again if ever I needed one.

Outstanding Service and Value From Start to Finish
The people at SunCommon are awesome. They make the entire process of going Solar easy and even fun. I can't imagine a more enjoyable process. Their information is informative yet easy to understand. They don't confuse you with lots of technical data and facts, just plain language. If you do have a question, they take the time to fully explain the answer. There's never any pressure during the process as well. I really liked the fact that I was dealing with a local company and I also appreciated their social mission. I highly recommend SunCommon to any thinking about solar.

Wolfe pack Array
SunCommon was the second solar company I investigated and after meeting with our sales representative Nick, I looked no further. Nick was awesome in helping us to decide on a ground array versus a roof mount for all the right reasons. The design was perfectly suited for not only our primary residence, but also our summer lake house and two eventual EVs. The entire process from design to installation was clearly defined and painless. Everyone involved was very professional, respectful and involved me in the installation as to asking for my opinions for the location of hardware to meet present and future needs of the home. SunCommon is a top notch Vermont based company and I am certainly recommending them to anyone interested in solar generation.
Response from SunCommon
We are thrilled to hear your installation went so well and that you're planning for an even brighter future! We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Nick and the rest of the crew, as well!

Very Professional and Easy to Work With
Had a great experience with SunCommon from first contact through installation. Found everyone I worked with to be professional and helpful. The install crew was efficient and was respectful of the property. There was some rain/wind that impacted the timeline slightly but they were communicative and picked things back up the next day. Everything came out great.

New rooftop array for pole barn
Suncommon just finished a roof mount installation on my pole barn in late January. They provided recommendations in the design phase of the pole barn so this has been in the works for quite a while. They actually redesigned again as they started due to the high winds that we get on the hilltop site. They are focused on doing it right even though this slowed them down. January install provided challenges as well but safety was first on icy metal roof. And, big in my book, an absolutely neat work site. What fun to have all my heat pumps and heated floors going and still see the meter spinning backwards. Experienced local crews, electrical and install, made for an easy (for me) experience. Would definitely use again.

We had a great experience top to bottom. From the informal sales meeting to the help with the financing and site evaluation. They use quality people all employees and all take a tremendous amount of pride in what they are doing. The roof work was done safely and quickly and the integration with all the tech is easy and painless. Most importantly you get a dedicated PM(project manager). Our PM Rebecca was absolutely amazing. She filed all the paperwork with GMP and followed through on everything. I won't lie it is not cheap but you are paying for the best, and when it comes to electric work you WANT THE BEST!

My roof developed leaks and I had to have the solar array removed in order to make the necessary repair. SunCommon was very helpful through out the entire process. From initial contact right thru the de-install and re-install process. when doing the de-install they made sure that all the openings created by the removal were completely sealed. during the re-install the worker went out of their way to ensure that it was done correctly, I highly recommend SunCommon
