Eastern CT Solar LLC

Charlie was the only installer who actually addressed our house-specific requirements when providing a quote. He was a pleasure to work with - he was responsive and handled all the paperwork in a timely manner. The installation crew did a very neat and professional job.

My 10 kw system was installed in January 2019 and after a year of usage everything has worked flawlessly and has provided 95% of my electrical usage as predicted. Charlie is easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable. He handled everything and his crew did a nice neat safe job. I Am extremely happy with my purchase and cannot recommend these guys enough. If you are in the market for solar this would be the company I would call.

We opted to work with Eastern CT Solar after soliciting quotes online and locally for an ~11kWH ground mount array. Costs were comparable across most quotes, but E. CT quoted the most compact array with the highest quality components - pushing the envelope of what the mount manufacturers had available to try and get the most efficient panels. They were able to answer pointed questions on the spot, demonstrating deep understanding of the field. Quality of the installation is top notch, and they took the time to do the work properly - not a fly-by-night, in and out job. Communication was excellent throughout the process. The ground mount system is incredible robust, and the array has been exceeding expected capacity in the winter months. Minor sink holes near the concrete footings were identified during a mid-winter thaw (installation began right as the ground was beginning to freeze) and they responded to the issue right away. Highly recommend Eastern CT Solar!

My experience with Eastern Connecticut Solar has been exceptional from start to finish. Charlie answered all of my questions along the way. Installation was of highest quality, so good in fact that the town's inspector asked who had done the work because it was done so beautifully. The system has been performing flawlessly, and if there is ever an unexpected signal from the system Charlie gets in touch and comes out to inspect, if necessary. I am extremely satisfied with E. CT Solar and so glad I chose to work with a local businessman.

We found Eastern CT Solar based on searching for a local installer with good reviews and references, and we were not disappointed! They were professional and not pushy, and guided us through the entire process. I was most impressed that they pulled all the permits with the town, commissioned a local professional engineer to do a strength analysis of our roof, and installed structural bracing in our attic to keep everything sturdy. The system was installed quickly and works great...based on the preliminary performance numbers I think it will outperform the estimates based on the initial solar survey. This isn't suprising because I talked to previous customers who had a similar experience. I will update this review once I get a few weeks of usage data! -Chris in North Stonington CT

Eastern CT Solar was one of six contractors that we considered for our home solar system. They included a large company, a franchised small business, electricians, and small businesses. We chose Eastern CT Solar because the owner, Charlie, was very patient and thorough in answering questions about the details of installation and choosing which financing approach to take. We felt that Charlie gave us the best assessment of how details of the installation would be handled and the installation would proceed so that no surprises would come up later. His information was correct. The technology that he sells was, in the opinion of one of his competitors, very good, and the project cost was significantly lower. Once we signed the agreement, the project went forward as planned. We were impressed with the workmanship by Eastern CT Solar and its electrical subcontractor. They were all very pleasant to deal with. The job was completed with minimal fuss. After the installation, we had a problem with downloading information from the system, which Charlie traced to a Wi-Fi router. Charlie came back to switch to a different router, and the system has operated flawlessly since that time. Our system generated more than 1200 kWh of energy last month. It looks great, and we are very happy that we decided to take advantage of this technology and the financial inducements that are offered. We are looking at a 6-7 year payback on our investment, and gravy after that time. We highly recommend Eastern CT Solar and wish Charlie the best of luck in his endeavor.
