Great people, great installation, great solar!

I talked to several local installation companies before choosing PV Squared. I already liked the PV2 philosophy and the people I dealt with during the engineering and proposal, and they eventually got the contract because they were able and willing to put more solar generation on our odd roof than other installers. At least one other proposal was comparable, but the other installer simply didn't seem willing to work a little harder to get the business. I suspect this is at least in part because we are a rural location that required panels in three different arrays on three different roof surfaces, which was more than others wanted to deal with. PV2 was happy to juggle multiple designs and happy to get the job done. About ten months later, the output has generally exceeded their estimates and our expectations, and they've promptly and effectively dealt with the few issues that have cropped up. I've had a few complaints about the utility company involved, and PV2 folks have patiently talked through those with me as well, even though it was not their responsibility to do so. I think that much of their success derives from the fact that they are a local co-op made up of people who care, have plenty of experience, and aren't out to simply profit off of their clients. I'd give them my business again in a heartbeat.

One of the reasons i choose PV2 was that they are a coop!!!

Having worked with PV2 as a subcontractor it was clear to me that the way they run their business would fit me as a customer very well, and it did!

Top quality solar installation f | Florence, Massachusetts | 06/17/2019

PV Squared is a first-rate solar installation company

My brother-in-law is in the solar review and installation business, working with companies in California and across the company, so when I began receiving sales pitches from different companies, I ran them all by him for his professional opinion. Having experience with many different solar installation companies, he was able to attest to PV Squared offering the most professional and thorough of the estimates that we received, with the highest level of expertise. All of that was borne out by the installation experience itself, which was thoroughly professional and courteous, as well as by the follow-up in the succeeding years, where they worked to fix any glitches that occurred. The fact that we've paid nothing for electricity over nine months of every year (the exception being the darkest months of the winter, when there is no sunlight to generate the solar credit on our electric bill that we for have the rest of the year).

Great quality, easy to work with

Other installers turned me down because we have a metal roof that is a bit different. PV Squared took the time to test it and got it to work. We've had the panels for 3 years and the quoted Kwh they said we would get was spot on! There has been no problems with the panels. They were always quick and friendly when I had any questions during and after the installation.

PV Squared exceeded my expectations!

PV Squared gave great advice before we even signed on for an estimate. Treated us very professionally and the experience continued all the way through planning, installation and beyond. PV Squared is no pressure, they give you the facts and time to think about your decision. If I had to do it over again, I would have acted faster, everything went so smoothly, my fears were erased. The panels have exceeded my expectations, my total electric house has not had an electric bill for 20 months and counting. PV Squared is highly recommended.

Skilled PV installer

I wanted the Pika off-grid inverter and PV Squared was one of the companies that supported them. Price was competitive and installation went smoothly. Very good communications on the project.

Go With PV Squared! | Conway, Massachusetts | 06/03/2019

Seamlessly professional experience!

I chose PV Squared for my residential solar project based on a few recommendations from local neighbors and business owners. I was impressed with every aspect of the job, from the responsiveness to my initial inquiry to the post-installation walkthrough. I consistently felt that I was in capable, intelligent hands, and I am now so thrilled to be selling my energy back to Eversource instead of having a monthly electric bill. I strongly encourage others to go with PV Squared!

Glad I chose PV Squared

I talked to several local companies, and PV Squared came highly recommended. They were thoughtful and too their time to work with me, and I learned a lot from my discussions with them. Their system design used better equipment and offered more power from my roof than anyone else. Their team was great to work with - installers were polite, friendly, and professional - and the system is doing everything they said it would, even outperforming their production estimates.

Terrific service, start to finish

I wasn't sure I wanted to put the money into solar and was fearful of the possible problems to my roof, my electrical system, on-going care issues. They listened at every step of the way, honored my concerns along the way, were objective, and never pushy. Once I decided to go for it, they made every step thereafter easy and installed the panels on time and on budget!!<br />I would recommend them.

I hate to not seem critical, but these guys were great. They are dedicated about renewable energy, they are meticulous about the quality of their work, and they are skilled and knowledgeable about installation design and systems. I choose them because their design proposal made the most sense. I was very pleased with their work and since completion they have continued to be helpful with questions and keeping me in touch about issues that might be of importance to me. Even their sub-contracted electrician was someone who I was pleased to hired for additional electrical work in my home.<br />The internet was the source of information that most influenced our decision to adopt renewable energy.
