I have had a great experience with New Star Solar. No stress, always just a phone call away. System up and running! Wish I had done it sooner.

Latest bad review thumbs down

Follow Up Was Very Poor

They wer great to work with at the beginning of the process. But once the system was installed, I received no support of follow up. They had promised to follow up with details on the system etc, but 5 months later I have yet to hear from them. Be cautious of their sales approach as it appears they only want to sell you a system. The don’t appear to be concerned about the customer after they have got your money

Promises Promises

If I could give less than one star to Newstart Solar, I would. Bill, the salesman made the salespitch, next up was Eric, the closer. The day we agreed to have Newstar Solar install the solar panels Eric promised us over 1000.00 because we missed the 2020 rebate incentive and a 3 day emergency battery. About one month later a competitor showed up on my doorstep telling me that he could get us a better deal. I called Eric and told him about the competitor and Eric promised another 2000.00 if I stayed with Newstar. Installation schedule was a joke, I was always calling Eric to see what was going on. I was contacted by Newstar once before installation concerning the installation and the information they gave me was wrong. I called Eric two months after his competitor stood on my doorstep to ask Eric about the deliverance of the battery and the check, Eric told me the check would be sent out in two days. I texted Eric two weeks later and asked if he intended on keeping his promises. "Yes, 100%" he answered. Three weeks later no word from Eric. Get things in writing and I'm not sure that will even help. There has to be better solar companies than Newstar.

Great Savings!!!

We have only had two months of power billings with solar, but so far each month has been $12.97 per month, plus we are adding storage to the grid. Normally our electricity bill, paid in Sept & Oct, over a 4 year period averaged $313 for each month. Thus $626 for two months --less the $26 now paid, saved us $574 in utility bills so far. Need a full years experience to really know of full savings, but so far, so good. G.H., CPA

Thanks New Star Solar

Great service! Left the places they worked in clean. Helpful, friendly & informative as to what to expect next. Coty Beardall, the sales and service rep. was not pushy but very helpful in answering my questions. David Leckie seen to it all the work was done and completed, leaving things in their original condition.

New Star Solar has been wonderful

New Star Solar has been wonderful to work with. I normally do not speak with solicitors but when Austin approached me in my front yard there was something about him that made me take the time to talk with him. I decided "what the heck" and set up an appointment for a sales person to contact me. I then meet with Matt. He was so nice. He was very patient with me and my questions and he explained everything in a way that I could understand. I felt he was being very honest with me and I'm sure as much as he wanted the sale (as most sales people do) he did not make me feel pressured at all to buy solar panels. Because of Matt's non pressure sales approach I made the decision then and there to go for it and it has been a positive experience from start to finish. Every person I have worked with from New Star has been wonderful. I had one small incident where a sprinkler pipe was nicked when they had to dig a hole in my flower bed, and it was leaking. I sent a message to Matt and he was on top of it. The next day the owner was in my area and he stopped by and fixed the pipe and even went so far as to secure the pipe for me to make it sturdier. If you are looking for a solar company I would highly recommend New Star Solar, you wont be sorry! I wanted to post pictures of my panel but I was too excited to get the word out about New Star Solar and the amazing experience I have had with them. If I can add them later I will.

So Good, So Far

Chose New Star over several other good options. They were the most professional and mature of the group we interviewed. They're representatives have a breadth of knowledge and experience that out shined their competition. They were honest in their presentation and followed through on their promises and estimates. The pricing was very fair and we are happy with the first year of production. It was a smooth process and now I have my very own power plant on my roof.

Have New Star Solar Be Your Second Opinion

My advice to anyone shopping for solar is get a second opinion! We ended up paying $24K and then getting tax incentives (2K, state; 7K federal) to make it about $15K out of pocket. Our initial estimate was from a real flashy company Solar One ($34K, for a smaller, over-designed system). We even had a third company Solaroo (who gave us a decent quote and said they would beat/match any other quote we got). We went with New Star Solar because we trusted them, by giving us an honest estimate of what we would need and how much it would cost and we had a great experience with New Star Solar. We have been installed and going for a few months now. You will find (if it is not immediately obvious) that the amount of solar energy produced varies greatly from month to month. Our first complete month was January. February doubled January's production and March is well on its way to double February's, so we have seen the difference it can make to our energy bills already (~$80 -> $17). We are going to see the real savings in the summer months, though, where RMP's pricing tiers cost us $150-$300/month in June-August 2016 (!!!). New Star Solar coordinated everything, so our installation went smoothly. They even prepped all of our tax paperwork with instructions, so we had everything we needed to get our tax incentives. They look pretty cool too. We feel proud of our purchase.
