Ever wonder how people feel about their solar energy, and their installer, a few years after having the system put in? Here’s what this customer wrote in a Facebook review on Nov. 8, 2017: “I’ve had my system for over 2 years, have not paid 1 electric bill since and currently have a $600 credit […]

By shifting his electricity budget from the utility to his own solar energy, this New England Clean Energy customer effectively lowered his average price per kilowatt-hour from the utility rate of $0.21 to $0.08 (over 25 years). The savings are immediate — his system is generating more than $200 in electricity a month.  

“Impeccable. Being hesitant at first, New England Clean Energy arranged for a visit to a nearby resident where I was able to discuss all aspects and experience with his solar system. At no time did I feel pressured. Clean Energy’s proposal was thorough and easy to understand, the installation process itself very professional throughout. I […]

This homeowner is making on average $260 worth of electricity on her roof every month, instead of paying Eversource for it. Which would you rather do?

Wow, too much in the “Solar Reviews review” from this Townsend, MA customer to cover here (NE Clean Energy was the best installer, great employees and communication, aesthetically pleasing system, immediate savings…) so please click here to read it all.

Metal roof. Multiple roofs. No problem. This Medfield, MA home has 24 solar panels spread across three standing-seam metal roofs. Learn about how solar energy systems are installed on metal roofs on our blog, The Energy Miser. (Search on “metal” for all the latest articles.)

Not all solar panels are installed “portrait” (tall) orientation, with horizontal rails running across the roof. For this Bolton, MA system, we used “landscape” (long) orientation to make best use of the space. This layout required running the rail up and down the rather steep roofs. The customer posted this review on the Better Business […]

Sometimes solar design is simple. Sometimes it’s like assembling a jigsaw puzzle, trying to get the different pieces to fit together the right way. These homeowners were committed to covering 100% of their electric bill, so we kept at it until we found a way to do that. The resulting system on 4 roof faces […]

These photos may seem practically the same, but what can we say — we love looking at solar from every angle! And from the savings angle, this system looks pretty great, too. The town of Groton has relatively low electricity rates to begin with, at about 10 cents per kWh. But by shifting his electricity […]

Our first solar energy installation in North Andover deserves better photos, but we can’t control Mother Nature and the installation day was gray! So in this case, the schematic drawing of the system gives a better idea of what it actually looks like — 39 panels spread across 2 roofs.
