We could not be happier with choosing NEC Solar to do our home solar installation. Another solar company told us we'd never qualify for the installation we were looking for because it was too big. NEC Solar assurred us that this was not the case, and proceded to give us an installation timeline that they stuck to 100%. The installation team was outstanding as well - the panels were added efficiently and correctly. By sticking to their timeline and getting the panels installed by the end of 2019, we were able to capitalize on the greatest tax incentives we could. The best part, of course, has been generating even more energy than we are consuming, on average. Not only have we not paid an electric bill since, but we are accruing credits for the energy we supply back to the grid. NEC Solar has provided amazing customer service since the start of the project. Our Solar Consulting Engineer, Artie Crocker, was wonderful to work with. He was responsive and informative, providing us answers to every question we had. Our Project Manager, Mike Sullivan, was also fantastic. He was very communicative and made sure to take the time, in person, to answer all of our questions and help us with the Sense app for monitoring the system. Both Artie & Mike are still regularly in touch with us to ensure everything is working smoothly. We give NEC Solar our strongest endorsement. You will have a positive installation experience and they will absolutely work to save you as much as possible on your electric bill for decades to come!

I met with Daryll from NEC shortly after I met with the first solar company that gave me a proposal. Daryll showed up on time . Very well prepared and very personable. His knowledge was extensive and impressive! Daryll didnâ t try to answer questions that he had no way of knowing the answer to but took down my specific questions and told me that he would get me an answer shorty . And he did just that. He laid out the whole process to me both from the physical installation right down to the financing options and who in there industry he had dealt with both good and not so good. One of the many reasons we decided to go forward with NEC was that NEC was more then a solar company. They had several divisions that did electric work. This made me feel more comfortable realizing that this was not a fly by night company snd would be around a long time when the other companies may not. I tested out my thinking by having Jay come to my house to give me an estimate on putting in an outlet to run a generator. It was very much in line with what I was told to pay. They came out and did the work on time and at the agreed on price. From there I was comfortable giving them my business for a much larger project. My solar panels. Daryll put me in touch with Alex he would be my project manager for the installation and answer all my questions about how my system would work. Again Alex showed up on time. He reviewed my house as it pertained to our project took down some notes and told me that he and Daryll would schedule a time that best fit both their and our schedule. On the day of the installation a group of trucks showed up with Alex leading the project . Alex stayed and over saw the entire installation . It was a long day 28 panels were installed and the system was ready for our local electrical inspector to come out and sign off on. That happen without a hitch as expected. National Grid was then informed that our system was ready to go live and they came out in short time to change over our meter. Since the installation I have a few questions that Alex got right back to me on and he even came out to replace a panel that they saw wasnâ t performing as well as the rest due to a small installation issue. I have had my system up and running for two months now and being as hot as itâ s been with 4 sometimes 5 a/c running and a bounce house I run on the weekends for my granddaughter to play on my bill from National Grid was just 8 dollars of which that was some silly fees. If your looking for a solid company that employs great and knowledgeable professionals look no further then NEC I plan on reaching out to them in the near future to discuss battery options to my solar system.

This project was to have a solar battery installed -- I already have solar panels. I was looking into generators and someone from NEC Solar reached out with information and provided a quote. This was a much better option for me than a generator. The whole process was handled professionally, delays (due to the pandemic) were communicated to me as they happened. And, I just had a 26 hour outage and the battery kept my house powered.

i've been looking to go solar for a number of years. When I originally met with Artie it wasn't the right time. we met again a year later and he helped us through the whole process. He was more than knowledgable. He was courteous, very friendly and professional. They worked very hard to design a system that would maximize our rebates and incentives so we paid less than half the total cost(inc tax rebates). We are so excited to have the system turned on. The workers were great. They cleaned up after themselves and were very professional and just went about their work. I believe we got the best system for the money and are looking forward to watching my meter go Backwards.

We had a great experience with NEC Solar and we are very happy with our solar system. Artie, our sales person, was very patient with us as we worked through all our numerous questions and it was his willingness to think outside the box with our system that made us choose this company over their competitor. The installation team was very professional and quick, respecting our home and time constraints. The project coordinator Megan also did a great job keeping us informed on the next steps of the project. The best part is now we get to watch the solar energy roll in. We are creating more solar energy than we are using, even with our unusual roof orientation. Overall, we would not hesitate to choose NEC Solar.

Working with NEC Solar was a pleasure. I didnâ t know a lot about solar energy at the outset and Artie Crocker took the time to explain the technology, the installation process, maintenance, and cost. We were then assigned a project manager who provided the details and timeline and all the work was done exactly on schedule. The individuals who did the installation were professional, courteous and took the time to clean up any remaining debris. Following the installation, NEC Solar facilitated all of the paperwork necessary for us to enroll in the state incentive program and checked in with us several times to ensure that the system was working properly. I would recommend this company to anyone.

Working with NEC was a delight. We chose them after going through the quoting process with 3 companies. We found their sales approach to be honest and friendly. They did not inflate the benefits or provide unrealistic expectations on what we would be able to install. They do no door to door sales, which I prefer too! NEC is family owned and has a history of electrical construction work. They are pleasant and helpful, and they do their own installs (we found that many companies sell the project, and outsource the installation). The quality of work was very high and we are very very happy with how the array looks on our roof. Their pricing was extremely competitive and they are transparent with cost. Surprisingly, they were unique in our experience, by showing the project total cost, and different break downs on tax credits and finance options. Some companies were a bit more secretive on total cost, and less flexible on payment options. If you are looking to go solar, I'd recommend getting a quote from them, we are so happy we took the time to shop around and found them!

They did a great job installing my solar panels! I loved working with this team, and everything went smoothly and efficiently. I interviewed several companies before choosing NEC Solar, and their quote was competitive. I had such a great experience that I'm working with them again to install a solar battery. I highly recommend this company!

Both Artie Crocker who sold me the system and Megan, project manager, were accessible and responsive. The entire installation appeared seamless until Eversource got involved. Eversource was slow to activate the system.

After evaluating 5 different companies, I went with NEC Solar for multiple reasons. First, they knew their field...better than any other company I interacted with: from the first meeting with Dana on through all other interactions, I knew I was in good hands, as they helped me understand all state and federal incentive plans, and gave me good, honest information (some other companies just wanted me to sign, and told me everything was possible, rather than being honest about my options). Second, the level of support I received was incredible. Throughout the project phase, I interacted with Dana, David (Project manager), and even David (CEO) multiple times, and they all provided the guidance and support I needed through every step of the process (and I tend to over-research things myself...especially for large purchases, like a solar array). Third, the installation quality/caliber and after install support: They finished the project way ahead of schedule, were kind and courteous, cleaned up everything, and made sure the array and all components were better than code, aesthetically pleasing, and fully functional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend NEC to my friends and colleagues (and already have several times).

Everything about this install went better than expected. Our Solar Consultant, Dana, was amazing! Informative, passionate, friendly, knowledgeable...a total delight! Our project manager, Mike, was terrific. They made the experience terrific! And the panels look amazing. Beautiful install! And they left the yard cleaner than when they arrived!

NEC Solar installed our panels in September 2019, and we couldn t be happier with our experience. We got quotes from other companies as well, but felt NEC s product offerings, warranties, customer service, and prices were superior. They did a beautiful and professional installation. Highly recommended.

Our salesman was knowledgable, took time to inspect our roof, attic, and electric service before drafting a proposal, and followed the project's progress throughout. The project manager was prompt and informative on the installation, and permit, inspection schedule, so we got online quickly. The electrician and installers used the highest level of craftsmanship in an orderly and good looking result for panel mounts, wiring, conduits, and meters. Power results so far have been very good.

We received quotes from several solar installers. What stood out with NEC from the start was Arties dedication to figuring out the best possible panel layout for our roof. We have a difficult roof. The entire process went smoothly and everyone at NEC was helpful and wonderful to work with. Artie came by multiple times during the construction to make sure everything was going well. Great experience all around.

After seeing four solar companies for their design & quotes, we kept coming back to NEC. From the first meeting with Taylor at NEC Solar, the relationship was built on honesty & professionalism. This is our 2nd solar system, so we were fairly informed on what to expect, questions to ask, etc. Through no fault of NEC, the installation took a bit longer than anticipated; 100% due to National Grid. However, we were kept informed every step of the way through the entire process. As soon as there was information to share, we were contacted immediately with the current status. Once we had a confirmed installation date, David (the project manager) was on top of everything! We knew exactly when the team was going to arrive at our house, what was going to be accomplished on the day, and what the post-installation activities would be. We cannot express enough how pleased we are with the installation. The team are true artisans and take time to ensure everything is 100% perfect. After the installation was completed (yes, all in one day) we just stood back and marveled at the workmanship. Plus, the team are just really nice guys!!!! Thank you NEC for a top-notch quality experience!!!!
