The entire team was professional, courteous and conscientious. Originally, I committed to another company and then I received a call from Dana Goodman and she made me feel so at ease and exhibited excellent sales skills by not taking no for an answer:). She was great to work with me and design the right roof configuration for me. She listened to what I wanted and we were able to settle on something that met my needs. Then came Meg. She did a great job of introducing herself and what the next steps would be. She went over the project and had a initial review of the roof done. She stayed in contact with me until the project was completed. The framing crew, panel crew and electricians were all great to work with and they completed all of the work within 2 days. All done without a hitch. They worked well with the town inspector and only one minor wiring change needed to be made. Meg promised NEC’s work would be completed in November and it was. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience. Thank you.

It was a pleasure getting the Solar panel installation done on my property through Future Energy Solar LLC. Energy Sage provided me all the information needed to make a wise decision in picking the right company to install the solar panels.<br /><br />AJ Reis from Future Energy has been at top of every step of planning, collaboration with Town/Utility officials and installation of the panels at the property. All my questions were immediately answered either over email or as a text message and I was made aware of any official hurdles that we may need to overcome and any possible delays that could occur (luckily none of them happened).<br /><br />I got the best value for the equipment to be installed, and I suggest that anyone who is more interested in the panel output and degradation rate should talk to AJ from Future Energy Solar for their Solar project.<br /><br />I'm in the final stages of the project and will very soon have a running system that should exceed my expectations. So I will follow-up with another review in a month or so. So far, I am extremely happy about the Solar project with Future Energy Solar LLC.

Mike and the Beacon Solar team did a great job with our installation. Being in the construction field there were certain things I wanted done my way. Not only were they very accommodating, and professional they worked around my schedule so that the finished product was exactly what I needed. Quality and service is what it is all about. If you are looking for that, look no further than Beacon Solar. Sales, installation and 1st class service is what they bring, and I highly recommend them for any of your solar needs.

Change quoted price frequently. Bad at execution: they have been installing my system for over 6 months and missed the end of year target thus costing me tax incentives. Terrible at scheduling and communication. Work seems adequate but they failed the first electrical inspection

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 Husband and I have been interested in going solar for some time. We have done some research on what we were looking for and looked into a few different solar companies. In the end we wanted someone that is local and that will be around for more than a couple years unlike the bigger companies that seem to keep closing their doors. We had the priveledge on working with Kevin Markey. He is very knowledgeable, quick to respond and very attentive to what we were looking for. He sent over the proposal and met all of our requirements (my husband is very picky). The whole procces was very smooth. From the inital site visit to final inspections all that were involved were very professional, curteous, and made us feel safe during these questionalble times (covid). I would HIGHLY recomend Energy Monster to anyone thats looking for a company that will be there answering ALL your questions from start to finish.

I felt good about the reviews I read and decided to reach out to them. Immediately, Tim reached out to us. My husband and I liked that they were local. The contract was relatively small and they were honest. With 12+ years experience here in Massachusetts, they answered all of our questions and addressed any concerns we had. From the site work to the installation, they treated my home as if it was there's, and explained what they were going to do to our house before they did it. Upon completion, you couldn't even tell we had solar panels installed. They handle all the paperwork along the way so you don't have to worry about a thing. Everyone was a joy to work with and if that's not enough, then Mike (the owner) does the final closeout with you. All around, a nice experience, one that you can feel good about. I highly recommend them.

Coleman installation, over 1 month
We had a solar hot water system installed in 2009 and heat pumps in 2014. The installations went well and we really like the systems we have. The problem is to get anyone to come for regular maintenance or repair. You call, leave a message and you don't hear back from anyone for over a week. Call back, talk to someone who says they will look into it - same thing, you don't hear back. They have one person to service heat pumps. This has nothing to do with Covid, as this is the same one person they've had for many years. Because they did not plug up the holes on the outside piping covers of the heat pumps, we had mice that chewed the insulation off the piping. We wanted to know if it was something we could fix ourselves. After talking with several different people who could not give us a clear answer, we were given three names of other companies to do the work. Since most other solar installers only want to work on systems they install, getting service done is a problem. After much frustration, we called Fujitsu and talked with a wonderful tech who answered all our questions in less than 15 minutes. We fixed it ourselves and it is now mice proof. Now we have another simple issue - heat pump inside cover needs to be replaced - and it's been weeks trying to get a service call scheduled. ReVision loves to install, but are terrible about servicing what they install. Would not recommend them for this reason. Their service department is beyond terrible.

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:
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.

I used this company to have a basis for my solar panels on my new house. They did a great assessment of my usage, roof, and environment. They came to the house after numerous meetings online (COVID) to finalize the project and check if 100% everything was fine. Everything financially was reviewed. Before starting, they took over all the communication with the HOA. Once approved by the HOA, the project was started. I now have 28 beautiful Solar Panels which cover 100% of my yearly usage. Would I recommend Cape Fear Solar Systems: YES.
