Featured Reviews for Needham, MA Solar Energy Contractors

Solar Five Lexington MA

Needham, MA Solar Energy Contractors

Sep 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”

US SolarWorks

Needham, MA Solar Energy Contractors

Mar 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.”

“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.”

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 Needham, 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 give me any information on Massachusetts solar rebate programs?
