Featured Reviews for Cambridge, MA Solar Energy Contractors

Bay State Solar Solutions

Cambridge, MA Solar Energy Contractors

July 28, 2015

“Bay State Solar offers a really good product with outstanding service and professionalism. They presented many options very clearly and helped me decide on one in a very professional manner. I can't wait for the project to be done, but so far, 5 stars.”

Solar Five Lexington MA

Cambridge, MA Solar Energy Contractors

September 18, 2019

“Have been a Solar Five customer for about 2 years. Too many great things to say about them. Installation - professional, neat, on time - can barely see that solar panels are installed. Service and Support - I have worked mainly with Adam. If I owned a business, he'd be the first I'd try to hire. Very Responsive; always available; calls to check on things before I notice anything that may need to be checked; Very thorough - great voice (never met him) that is calming and respectful - Treats you like you're his only client. Sales - the system delivers more than promised. We haven't paid an electric bill since the first month after installation. AND we have a credit with National Grid of over $1200. Plus, we get quarterly checks for our SRECs (I believe it's for carbon offsets). Plus, got a big credit off of our Federal taxes and a State tax credit. ($51,000 cost less credit, less quarterly checks for SRECs, less monthly electric bills - system will pay for itself in less time than originally quoted) Love the system - we have a tendency for leaving a lot of lights on and we still have a huge from National Grid. Currently planning on changing our hot water tank (oil-fired) to electric. And get FREE hot water. Also looking at a hybrid car which would save even more off of our gas bills. Great Company - Great system”

Harmony Energy Works Incorporated

Cambridge, MA Solar Energy Contractors

June 6, 2017

“Being an engineer, I asked a lot of questions and kept close touch during the installation back in 2011. George (and the other members of his crew) were always willing to explain what they were doing and the technical theory behind it. On all aspects of the installation, startup, and operation, the project has been a very satisfying experience. Our residence became known as the “solar house” in the neighborhood, and we conducted ”wine and solar” parties at which we showed the hardware and viewed performance on the Enphase Enlighten webpage. After five years of operation, the photovoltaic array continues to work productively and flawlessly. I do not hesitate to recommend Harmony Energy Works to other homeowners. Their team is certainly knowledgeable, experienced, and professional.”

“Everyone at RISS was very helpful and made the entire experience of getting solar power great. Mike explained everything, gave us different options and was always available when needed.”

SunPower by E2 Solar

Cambridge, MA Solar Energy Contractors

May 31, 2017

“I can't say enough about E2 Solar. They were helpful, professional, and prompt throughout the entire installation process. After installation, they were available for questions and support at a moment's notice. Desiree is a font of knowledge and even contacted me right away when I had an issue on the weekend. The issue - the only problem I ever had with my system - was immediately corrected by their master electrician. He, too, was wonderful. Explained everything in detail, was incredibly personable. And, i love the fact that it is a local business, the owner easily accessible. Coincidentally, I used the owner's wife (A3 Architects) as my architect; she specializes in energy-efficient designs. Can't say enough about her and her work, either.”

US SolarWorks

Cambridge, MA Solar Energy Contractors

March 16, 2016

“I recently had a photovoltaic system installed by US Solarworks. I can't tell you in words how satisfied I am. In dollars I can tell you that after my first billing cycle I realized a savings of 50%. My average bills were $115.00 and this bill was for $54.00, I should note this billing cycle included five days at the beginning still connected the grid. I started this venture by talking to these folks at a home show several years ago, however the timing then did not work for me. Fast forward to now I redialed them from my Phone contacts list and found them still at the same number. It was sometime in October when I first met with mike Savage, I had done some research prior to his arrival and when we were done I had a signed contract to go ahead with the project. Mike was more than prepared with answers to all my questions and concerns. I believe the project went smoothly and timely. I am now looking forward to reaping the benefits of the sun. I must add this note because this website did not offer a reasonable price point option. My project cost me less than $15,000.00, AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. Many thanks to all involved in this project.”

January 31, 2019

“I have the highest regards for Solar Wolf. They were extremely helpful to me with my solar panel project. Easy to talk with and very professional in every aspect of the job. Work was finished as projected and the installers were great to work with during the process. Most importantly, Ted was very understanding when I was caught up in a bad situation with another company and worked with me get the system I am 110% satisfied with. Everything was explained to me, questions answered, and their continued service in the monitoring of my system is right on.”

SmartGrid Solar

Cambridge, MA Solar Energy Contractors

April 19, 2018

“We hired SmartGrid Technologies to help our roofing customers find an affordable solutions to do their roofing. My first customer who took advantage of the program to go solar was ecstatic that she got her roof done for free and saved on her electric bill as well. She also knows after 15 years her system will be paid off and her electric bill will be nothing or almost nothing. Thanks Jerrold, you gave my customers options that I never could.”

Got Sun Go Solar

Cambridge, MA Solar Energy Contractors

February 15, 2018

“I highly recommend Got Sun Go Solar. They installed 30 panels on my roof 3 years ago, and everything went smoothly. They were very knowledgeable, and accommodated a request I made for an unusual type of inverter, because I wanted one that I would be able to plug devices in to in case of a power outage. The installation was quick, and the workers were friendly. Everything has been working without a hitch for 3 years now, producing power in line with their projections, reducing my electricity bills to practically zero, and making me a good deal of money via SRECs. I have no complaints at all, and recommend them!”

BayState Solar

Cambridge, MA Solar Energy Contractors

February 14, 2016

“We hired BayState Solar for our project for our house. It was such a pleasant experience to work with a company so knowledgeable and helpful. The salesman showed up on time and was able to answer all our questions in a timely fashion. Our project wasn't an easy one and they were very patient to show us all the options available and worked with us throughout the whole process. We were given multiple options with our solar project and they worked with us not only to find what was best for our needs, but also best for our budget. We had looked into other solar companies (Big Box companies) and all they wanted to do is sign you up on the spot for things you didn't understand. Solar is an investment and should be explained fully before you make a decision and that is what BayState Solar did for us. I would highly recommend BayState Solar to anyone that is looking for a local company that puts customer service first!!! Love our system and can't wait to see all the energy saving we will be getting this year and beyond. Before signing anything give BayState Solar a call they are the real deal.”

Are you interested in powering your Cambridge home with solar energy? Whether you want to lower your electricity bill or help the environment (or both!), hiring a Massachusetts certified solar energy contractor is a smart first step to getting off the grid and getting into energy conservation. Solar energy professionals in Cambridge, MA can evaluate your needs and design, install and maintain the best renewable energy system for your home.

What types of residential solar power systems do solar energy contractors design and install?

Solar power systems are part of the growing energy efficiency trend. You may be wondering, what is solar energy, exactly? Solar energy is energy that comes from the sun, and is then converted into electricity and/or utilized for heating air or water.

The most common types of alternative energy systems for the home are solar electric, solar water heating and wind power systems. Solar professionals can help with everything from installing solar skylights to implementing complete solar energy systems.

Let’s say you want a solar electric system for your home. An off-grid system basically consists of solar panels and battery banks. These battery banks store the sun’s energy so you can use electricity at night or on a cloudy day. This system is designed to keep household electricity running for about two or three cloudy days; longer cloudy periods require a backup generator. To install an off-grid system, you’ll want to hire a certified Massachusetts solar energy contractor.

Along with off-grid solar, wind and hybrid energy systems that include batteries and backup generators, there are also grid-tied solar and wind operations. Grid-tied systems are attached to your Cambridge, MA utility company so if you produce more energy than you use, your meter goes down and you build up energy credits.

Installing solar skylights can save electricity. Sun tunnel skylights are tubular daylight devices that capture sunlight through domes on your roof. Attached to these domes are highly reflective tunnels that draw natural light down into closets, hallways and stairways.

Questions to ask potential solar energy contractors:

How long have you been in the business?
Can you provide me with references?
How do you charge, and what does that include?
What do your services include?
When can this job get done?
What happens when the cost exceeds the budget? What about changes to materials or labor pricing?
What will I need to provide?
Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
Do you have state certification?
Will you come to my home for a free onsite consultation?
Are you able to repair an older system?
Can you provide me with a layout to see where the panels will go and what they will look like?
Can you give me any information on Massachusetts solar rebate programs?
