SunCommon - Profile & Reviews

People tell you that you should interview at least 3 contractors before making a decision... well, when it comes to solar, SunCommon is the only installer you need! This is a top notch B Corp company placing people and planet before profit and they walk the talk. Every person at SunCommon that I have dealt with is a hard working, good human who wants to do right by their customers and the environment. They are true believers in providing people with honest education about solar and the products they install. SunCommon is invested in the communities they service... advocates for a sustainable future and fighting climate change. My solar adviser, Craig Hightower, is simply the best and is super knowledgeable. He broke down the process piece-by-piece and clearly demonstrated how I could afford a solar system. I asked A LOT of questions and we spent A LOT of time figuring what size system would offer the best payback for my needs. He was very patient with me every step of the way! Hands down, I would trust SunCommon with my solar installation time and time again and I recommend them to everyone!

We engaged SunCommon (NY) to design a ground mount solar array for our farm and were thrilled with the entire process. Everyone we had dialogue with during the process was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We are thrilled with the way the array came out and we started producing green solar energy in mid-September 2020. On the sales side, Craig patiently answered all of our questions and came during the install to make sure everything was going smoothly. The install team lead by Joe and the project manager, Loralee seamlessly guided us through the process. We would recommend SunCommon to anyone looking for a solar solution.

We've had SunCommon do two solar installs for us now. They are great to work with, offered us top quality products, and the solar has worked just like they said it would. They are local, but also big enough to be really professional, best of both worlds.

We needed more solar because we have solar heating and cooling, also from them (heat pumps), and electric vehicles. Our roof was full so we installed one of their beautiful solar canopies and love it!

Our most recent installation with SunCommon was a two powerwalls (batteries) to keep our home safe and secure when the power goes out.

We had a lot to learn about solar when we first began discussions with Craig from SunCommon. He was expert and patiently worked through all our questions and decisions. I have no hesitation in recommending him and SunCommon.

They were quick and efficient. They put up the system and had it running in about 3 days. The only hitch I ran into was that I didn't know my power company required a home energy audit before they would connect me. SunCommon found me a company in my area that would do this for me and offered to pay for it themselves because they didn't warn me of this.
At about a year part of the system failed and they replaced it free in a week although it was their busy time.
All in all my only regret was that I didn't do it sooner. I haven't paid for electric power in a year and it really feels good.

We had our solar installed in late 2019, SunCommon was by far the right choice. The sales rep (Nick) made us feel well informed instead of being "sold to" or talked down to. Nick was patient, addressed our questions and took a lot of extra time to help us understand the savings, the benefits, and the options available to us.

The install coordination team and designers were also quite patient and informative. They made sure we loved our solar design and bent over backwards to make the installation date work around our travel plans. The best thing about working with SunCommon were the people. You get a sense that they're all genuinely driven by a shared mission, not just doing a job.

The highlight of it all was SunCommon's installation crew. They were efficient, polite, funny, and respectful. Some of the most hardworking people I've ever seen, and they installed our solar with a smile. Our crew lead's name was Dan, the whole team was informative and a pleasure to work with. If you're thinking about going solar, SunCommon is the way to go, no question.

As an early proponent of solar energy, I was stymied in implementing an array on our property. Having a location suitable for harvesting sunlight is the 1st consideration. Our location gets a failing grade in a site survey. SunCommon offers participation in community solar arrays as well as on-premises installations. We opted for the CSA option.
Just as important in the sales engagement process is the help afforded to make solar a viable reality. Cash as well as attractive financing options are presented. SunCommon works with a credit union that is committed to offering low interest loans for solar, whether CSA or on-site.
On top of all that, there are periodic incentives to enhance the offerings. All the heavy lifting required to satisfy State and Federal tax incentives is done by SunCommon.
SunCommon is fully engaged before, during and after the sale, making for a seamless acquisition process and a sense of being part of a movement to change our energy habits.

We engaged SunCommon (NY) to design a solar array for our house and could not be happier with their service. Everyone we have so far encountered from the company has been friendly, very informative, and professional, helping us to find the best solution for our needs, both in terms of the energy output and to customize the esthetics of design.

Craig helped us maximize the energy output of our system and minimize the costs.

Thanks to Craig and Christian and Harrison and the rest of the crew!
