We had a wonderful experience with All Energy Solar, who installed a 19 panel system on our home. Brandon made sure that we understood all our options, the full process, and provided wonderful feedback on any questions we had. The entire process was great and now we have a more environmentally friendly way to produce the energy we use! We would highly recommend having All Energy Solar handle any solar panel installations you are considering!

From start to finish, Sean and team were great. We have a pretty complex roof with many dormers & angles, and a lack of attic space. The team was able to design and complete exactly what was requested. They handled all of the paperwork for me and walked me through every item at my pace. Solar is a pretty big financial decision and Sean answered all of my concerns without being pushy about what to install. He listened to my requirements as well what the future plans for my property were (pool & electric cars) and modified the proposals as needed. I highly recommend this company for professional nature, upfront pricing and ability to deliver what was promised.

More than half of the solar salespeople we talked to don't actually know how the system works. The person who does is never there in person. Anytime you ask a question, you get a guess or they say they have to ask the project mgr. This is not the case with Freddy. As the owner of the company and his own solar system, he is knowledgable. There is no project mgr because he is the project mgr. Here are some stats... Our national grid bill is usually around $350 per month which is more than the cost of our solar loan. Our first bill after the install was $72 only have 19 days of solar. Our next month was $-44.07. If you are looking at leasing, you are looking at the wrong option. If you are looking at another company, you are looking at the wrong company. The company is Critical Mass Solar. Freddy, call me if you need help convincing a client.

My wife and I had our solar system installed by Energy Monster just about one year ago. The staff at EM were very thorough, answered all of questions, and fully explained the system they thought would be best for us. Once the system was installed, it was turned on July 1st, so we had July, August and September, of extended daylight, which provided us with great production. Fall and winter, with shorter sunlight, obviously not as productive. As of our first spring with solar, March, April, May and June we have produced more than the first 6 months of having the system. We have accumulated a substantial credit with National Grid which will offset the most if not all electric usage in the fall and winter months. We are very pleased with system, all that the Energy Monster Team has provided us. Jim Martin--Hopedale Ma

Super Satisfied customer, over 1 month
Rayah (and Brad the project manager especially) was a great experience to have my solar installed. Everyone was great in guiding me through the process from start to end. They were able to design what I needed and even have options available like EMP/solar flare hardened systems. They showed up when they said and did a very professional job. Having a responsive team like this was a treat when it seems like tradesmen these days are almost impossible to deal with. Great job guys!

SolarFlair has a deal with our town to do solar installations for residents. They were very professional at every step-- but the whole process was much slower than I expected. It took about 11 months from contract to turn-on. Probably in a slow economic cycle they would move quicker. My advice is go with Solar Flair! But don't be in a rush.

This company was amazing to work with, always answered all of my questions and really worked with me to get my solar panels. My solar rep Tony was always one txt away if I had any questions about anything from updates on the project to any little questions I had about the installation. Not to mention the beautiful design of the panels themselves and the flawless installation and how good they look on my house! It also helped that people doing the installation were all super nice and explained what they were doing every step of the way! I 100% recommended going solar with Insight Solar!

Brightstar worked closely with me to install the maximum number of panels, 36 we could put on my roof. We selected panels without the silver traces and black surround so the would be relatively unobtrusive. I have some shading from trees across the road but still make 10M watt/hrs/year. Since installation we had one of the 36 optimizers and an inverter fail - both replaced quickly under warranty and at no cost to me! Last week (March 21) I saw some intermittent inverter shut down that Brightstar were able to determine that the cause was utility voltage was out of specification. I also measured it as 130v that could be dangerous to electrical equipment in the 100s of homes on that circuit. The utility quickly verified this and replace their failed regulator. Good work Brightstar!

Great overall experience! Mike and Sarah walked us through every step of the way. Mike made sure that we stayed informed and made us feel like we were a friend of the family. Also, Install team was awesome. During each stage of our experience, it was clear that Bay State Solar Solutions places a high emphasis of customer satisfaction and they certainly exceeded our expectations.

Mass Renewables came recommended and they lived up to all expectations. They were willing to work with us on system and contract details and fielded all of our many questions promptly, accurately, and pleasantly. The crew on-site was very considerate and helpful in explaining the their process, sought input when options were available, and stayed in touch during the installation. They also left the worksite immaculate.

I spent almost 14 months researching solar companies. Having them come into my home and selling me on their systems. But instead of selling me, SavKat did something quite remarkable. They “shared” with me why they were my best choice. They were true to their word in every way. It could not have gone smoother or their crews been more professional. They kept their word every step of the way and the knowledge that they are a local company that will be there for me over the next 20 years, played a big role. Everyone will be going solar. The decision left to be made is with who. Call SavKat Solar today and let them share with you why it should be them.

I spoke with Mark regarding my solar project at home and he was able to explain the system and how it will meet my current demand. He explained upfront costs and options. The master electrician Mike Richards was very professional and installed the system after consulation with me for the best location for the wiring. I would recommend it to others for your solar panel needs. Thanks.

I made my decision to use RevoluSun in part because of Richie Bonney, the sales rep. He's incredibly knowledgeable and really good at answering questions/explaining things and made the other reps look like chumps in comparison (I say this tongue-in-cheek but it' true, frankly). I received 4 solar quotes. While at face value (gross system cost) RevoluSun looked more expensive, when I drilled down into the numbers it turned out to be the most reasonable when comparing KW size to system cost, so I urge folks to look carefully at those components when making a decision. The Solaria panels I got are supposed to be advantageous in part because the rail system holds up to snow and ice expansion/contraction better than traditional systems since there are fewer penetrations in the roof. That makes sense to me, though I can't speak to being able to witness the difference myself, exactly. RevoluSun was responsive throughout the process when I had questions, going through the process of setting up the system with my utility (no small feat), and walking me through the system once I went through my first bill cycle to be sure I understand how to track it and such. All in all I am quite happy with their product. I bought a hybrid vehicle about a month ago and the system easily pays to run that, as well, and I love to get my negative electric bills and checks every month.

Installation was conducted back in April 2020 just as the COVID panic was rearing its ugly head. Crew worked efficiently and job was completed in one day. Schedule was mutually agreed on so that failing asphalt roof could replaced with standing seam prior to installation. A real plus was that all permitting and interface with the power company was taken care as was tax related paperwork. They did it all. Now it’s January and I’m enjoying electric heat in my workshop that was actually captured and banked last summer. Professional installation in every respect. Right down to being ready for code enforcement inspection. Highly recommended.

Compare prices and reputations solar companies in your city
Which solar company should I choose?
The reviews scores for the largest solar companies are far worse than those for local, family-owned solar installation companies.
The best solar companies meet the following criteria:
- Local
- Family-owned
- Less than 50 staff
- Has an office near you
- Been in business longer than 5 years
- Employs their own installation crews
- Uses Tier 1 solar panels
- Uses inverters from Enphase, SolarEdge, SMA or Fronius
The solar industry is full of fly-by-night solar companies — both big and small — that open one year and are gone the next.
Solar panels last for 25-30 years, so you want an installer who will help you with any problems or system faults. For this to happen, your installer needs to be able to stay in business
Local solar companies, as a group, have the highest reviews score on our site and also have lower overheads than corporate installers, making them more likely to survive in the long term.

The average Mosaic customer saves $30,550* over the life of the solar energy system, sometimes starting right from the time the system is energized. And when the homeowner owns their system, they claim all the savings, from the federal tax credit to any state or local incentives.
