NEC Solar

Excellent

Dana, Wyatt and the NEC team did a great job guiding us through the process from start to finish! Their attention to detail and quality of workmanship are second to none.

Very professional team, quality installation

NEC solar designed and installed a 10.26 kW DC array on my roof in June 2023, in replacement for an old solar shingle system installed by another company and that failed after 10 years. They are knowledgeable, explain everything in detail, take time to answer questions, and do not place any pressure to commit. The top quality panels they have installed on my roof work amazingly well so far, 6 months after their installation. I have a 2,400 sqft house that is all-electric and it appears that it will reach "net-zero” averaged over a full year. Because NEC is also an electrical company, they could handle the decommissioning of the defective solar shingles prior to the installation of the new array, coordinating their work with the company that reshingled the roof after their removal of the solar shingles. Overall, their careful planning saved me a lot of trouble and time. I very much appreciated their professionalism and how the entire team worked together harmoniously and efficiently, making their presence around my house a pleasant experience.

LOVED working with them!

The NEC team was wonderful to work with! They did a large install on my house (several years ago) and my parents house (this year). Communication was on point! The team that did the install was respectful of the family and property. Everything was cleaned up each night and the team was SO polite! Would definitely recommend!!

Extremely Positive Solar Installation Experience

We had an incredibly positive experience with NEC Solar and would highly recommend NEC Solar for anyone installing solar. From the first initial meeting to the final phase, Artie, Nick, and their team were responsive, informative, patient, and extremely helpful. They handled the entire process, informing us along the way of timelines and work set to be done. It was a seamless process for us as the homeowners and we felt like we were in very good hands with the NEC team. We were able to put 100% trust in them and were extremely confident in their work. They were patient and did a great job answering any questions that we had. They were extremely responsive and on top of informing us about timelines and the work process. It could not have been a more positive experience. Without hesitation at all we would absolutely recommend NEC Solar for anyone.

Very satisfied in Needham

By the time we worked with this company, we had finished discussions with a few others that we did not ultimately select. Artie introduced us to the company and provided the analysis and contract. He was very helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. Alex was our project manager; he too was excellent. The installation went very well — on time, quick, and tidy. We are happy with the appearance and the grid production. And the "Enphase" app by which we monitor productions and elecricity usage is terrific.

NEC Solar has been amazing to work with. Daryll our sales rep was so thorough and transparent and really took time to explain every detail of the process to us. Alex our project manager worked diligently on the back-end things such as permitting and working with National Grid on our behalf. If you are on the fence about solar, give these guys a call and they can answer any and all questions or concerns you may have about solar. I highly recommend this company!!

They are by far the most knowledgeable, & competent solar company. The engineers that work with you ( Artie & Alex)show you graphs & satellite images of your home at different times of the day showing how much sun or shade your roof receives. Their service is outstanding & they are always available to reach either by phone, where you actually speak to a real person or email. They use the best products & equipment. The whole process & install went off without a hitch & the price was RIGHT! Linda Corte

Great Install!

We initially worked with Artie to evaluate our house, usage, and what the best system for us would be. Alex took over to coordinate the installation. Both were knowledgeable, available to answer any questions we had, and very professional. All installers in the process, from roof inspection through electrical hook-ups to the panel (and critter guard) installation, were competent, thorough, and nice to work with. NEC checks the operation of the system for the lifetime of the equipment. We got several bids and the NEC price was competitive and offered more in terms of quality, warranty, and extras.

I had considered several solar companies and am very happy with my choice for NEC. Artie was very responsive and knowledgeable through the whole process, of designing the system, and spent several hours with me going over the design of the system. No pushy sales tactics. After committing to the work, Nick was our project manager and made the process a breeze. All the work, permitting, inspections etc were scheduled on-time and I was kept updated throughout the process. The crew that came out did a great job and were very attentive to detail - they were able to minimize the amount of conduit on the outside of the house and able to get around some of the quirks of our house layout. Our system is now up and running and performing as intended!

Best of the best

In Feb, 2022, after researching several companies, I chose NEC to do the solar array on my Jamestown house. Engineer Artie Crocker was my contact person, who made a site visit, designed the array, and explained the system thoroughly. He was knowledgeable, patient, accessible, and always had time to take my calls, even on weekends. I had price quotes and site visits from two other RI companies (Sun Watt Solar and Newport Solar), but NEC was clearly superior in terms of price, quality of the panels, warranty, reviews, service and rebates. The project manager and installers were professional, on time and neat. In the 12 months since my 41 panels were in installed, I have had no problems and have accrued a $1,500 credit on my RI Energy bill. Because I chose "net metering" I can let the credit accrue, or I can donate energy to other RI Energy customers. I was able to give a $500 credit to a needy neighbor, which came right off her RI energy bill. I couldn't be happier with NEC and my decision to go solar. AAA+++

Excellent work, and I am very happy with it.

Artie and the team explained every details right from start. The proposed system design made sense, they answered all questions and they were true professionals every step of the way, taking care of the installation and paper work all the way.

Excellent solar installer

Used NEC for an installation a few years ago. Very professional and responsive process. Willing to stand behind their product and help where possible.

We were very fortunate to choose NEC Solar as our solar contractor. They were on top of the details and kept us informed of the process for the entire project. Their installation was perfect and the projection of energy generated from the panels was highly accurate. Most importantly, if we ever have a question, they are always there to promptly respond. We highly recommend NEC Solar!

Highly Recommended!

The 7kW system NEC installed for us has been operating for 15 months now, flawlessly. Their installation crews were well-organized and very professional. And Artie, our primary contact, was responsive, thoughtful, and knowledgeable - a big part of the reason we chose NEC. (I was actually shocked at how little some of the other solar vendors I contacted new about the systems they were selling. I learned later that this is because some of them are just middlemen - they actually hire companies like NEC to do the installations.) And NEC stuck with us long after the system went live, helping us get through the National Grid paperwork to get our SMART credits activated. Highly recommended!

Skeptical at first

Our roof appeared to be perfect for solar but previous proposals we had received didn’t make sense. NEC proposal did. Work was done on time and with careful attention to my wife’s aesthetic requirements. Now, two and a half years later the panels have performed flawlessly and we are saving more than was estimated.

Delighted solar customer in Westerly

NEC Solar did a superb job installing solar panels and Enphase Encharge batteries at my house in Westerly. The quote was accurate and the team guided me through the application process and obtaining subsidies, grants and interest free financing. I was home during the entire installation and every installer was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I requested that none of the wiring be visible and this was achieved. The team helped me clear an area in the basement to install the batteries and controls so they would be accessible. The installation was completed on time and the system passed inspection without comment. Since then, it has been reliably producing solar power for my home and the grid, which I can readily monitor through an Enphase app on my iPhone. Delighted that I went with NEC Solar!

NEC Light Up Your Life

From start to finish NEC representatives were there every step of the way to assist and keep me informed. They are a professional and conscientious group who know their business and do it well. Thank you NEC for a GREAT job!!! I love getting electric bills with a payment due of $0.00.

Easy

We put in our solar panels 2 years ago and have been thrilled! Starting the process was easy - Artie gave us real answers, times and numbers without pressuring us. We looked at 2 other companies and felt like we were being sold something without clear numbers. The installation process was easy and we have loved getting zero balance electric bills almost all year!! It was a great decision and NEC Solar made it easy to implement!

Great service and professional installation

We're very happy with our NEC-installed solar & battery system. We looked at a number of companies, and in the end chose NEC based on their reputation and their commitment to service. A number of our neighbors also chose NEC Solar, and have had nothing but good things to say about their experiences. Our sales contact Artie patiently walked us through the entire process, and our project manager Alex was always available to answer questions and provide guidance. The installation crew was very professional and flexible in terms of installing and configuring the system the way we wanted it. I would highly recommend NEC Solar to anyone considering the move to Solar!

Wonderful Experience

Our journey with Newport Electric Construction (NEC) Solar began four years ago when my son and I met with Daryll, the sales/energy consultant. We went over the proposal, and at the time, we were not in the position to move forward. Daryll assured us there was no pressure and that we could always reach out if our situation changed. Fast forward four years, and here we have an impressive solar system, not just my house but my sons too. There were many reasons why we went with NEC: · Total transparency and no pressure sales. · Premium solar panels, racking, and inverters with a first-rate “bumper to bumper” warranty. · NEC used all black rails with end caps to provide a nice clean look and pay attention to details. · Competitively priced and the system came with a 25-year warranty. · Family-owned since 2008, they have completed over 3000 solar installs across Rhode Island and Massachusetts. · NEC gave me an honest picture of solar panels as a financial investment. One of my sons is an appraiser, and he confirmed that solar panels raise house values by an average 4.5%. I highly recommend Newport Electric Construction (NEC) Solar. I am so happy we decided to go solar with NEC. Only a few months in, we can already see the enormous benefits of solar.

Quick delivery and responsive

I chose NEC over other companies for a number of reasons. They promised (and delivered) the quickest installation of any company. They were always on top of things and addressed my questions quickly and precisely, which is very important in a process that requires a large number of permits, signatures, etc.. They use (as far as I can tell) state of the art panels and technology. Finally, they are local and take pride in their work. Of course, only the long run will show whether the work and the materials were truly good, but so far everything works like a charm and I have noticed no red flags.

Great job NEC Solar

I had solar panels installed at my house last year by NEC Solar and everything went perfectly. Dana did a great job explaining everything to me and my wife to make us feel at ease and I feel confident that the products they used will preform for the life of the system. The installers did excellent work, were very attentive to our needs and the system looks and works great. We were concerned with the aesthetics and didn't want pipes running on the roof so they ran all the wires through the attic and walls. The system was sized properly and I generate plenty of electricity to cover my whole electric bill, it's nice not to have to pay an electric bill or have to worry about price increases. Great job NEC Solar!

Great Experience and Professional Team

I had a great experience with NEC Solar. They worked efficiently and communicated with me every step of the way.

Great experience

The proposal process was thorough and everything was explained and provided on schedule with attentive follow-up. It was a better, more complete experience than I got from the other two proposals I solicited. Engineering checks were made regarding sufficient structure. No changes were needed to the proposal. The handoff to the installation team was professional. Everything was done on schedule and everything was explained. Questions were answered. We got it done on schedule so we did not waste any summer daylight. The engineering documentation provided upon installation was very thorough and made me feel I was definitely getting a utility-grade product. It has actually performed better than projected, and I have tracked its performance closely. The few questions I have had for the sales engineer since installation have been responded-to completely, honestly and in a timely way. I am a happy customer and have recommended NEC Solar to neighbors.

Entirely pleased

The people at NEC are very professional. They are a pleasure to work with in all respects. We’re pleased with the results and highly recommend them.
