LiveWire Electric Solar Array Install

LiveWire Electric installed a ground mount 14.4 kw solar array at our farm the summer of 2022. They were great to work with, easy to contact and communicate with, and all of the installation workers were great people. I was especially impressed with Mark's ability to work with me and with our township zoning committee to "clean up" and clarify the township's solar zoning rules for residential installations. Tim was the lead supervisor for our project and was detailed, and a good problem solver with figuring out the most effective and efficient approach to various parts of the installation, including dealing with a challenging electrical inspector, who had a hard time defining his requirements, but was quite good at knowing what he did not accept! And Ben Maki knows the residential solar business thoroughly, and was a great person to get to know. Our system has been up and running since early August and has performed as expected.

Good Solar expertise

I had my solar panels installed by Live Wire. They are very reasonable to work with. We originally planned for last year, but the weather didn't cooperate, so it was delayed to this year. And they were reasonable about delaying the payment until the panels are actually installed. They did a good job installing the panels and the electrical box. We have been producing more energy than we consume during summer months. So overall, very positive experience. I would recommend for anyone considering going Solar.

excellent from start to finish!

We had an excellent experience with the LiveWireElectric Team, from the first consultation to the final wrap on the project, and recommend them most enthusiastically. Highly appreciated super prompt responses to email or phone questions. Mark and Ben provided excellent advice on the options for our property, options for panels and inverters, went over all details for the installation and took the time and care to make the conduit blend seamlessly into the outer wall. The result is a super clean look. Nothing seems added. The installation crew worked swiftly and competently and left a clean yard. We had asked for references and they were supplied readily. The team welcomed any and all questions. Helped us learn lots and made the entire process very smooth. Price was very competitive. Super positive all-around experience. We couldn't be happier and recommend them to anyone shopping for solar panels. Great local and owner-run company that provides a high-quality product and service.

Solaria 7.6kw - Job well done!

Mark, Ben and the team at Live Wire were great to work with. We needed a clean look to satisfy our homeowners association. Mark patiently worked with us and found the all black Solaria PowerXT panel. Another larger company was not interested in tailoring their offerings to meet our needs. Live Wire completed a professional install in a timely manner. We are 6 months in and have had no issues, other than a record cloudy January. We are happy to be making power from the sun, trouble free.

Live Wire did an excellent job on my solar project.

The experience I had with Live Wire was great from the get go. Mark came out to my house and gave me a thorough explanation of what was going to happen and what to expect from my system. Mark had all the information with him as far as tax credits, rebates and the money I could expect to save on electricity. The installers and project manager were efficient and pleasant.

Solar Proud

From my first contact from Mark, thru the final completion of the project, I received professional service and excellent communication! My solar panels are ground mounted and were challenging in my location. All working on my project were patient and helpful with my questions and decisions and I could not be happier with the outcome. Thanks to Ben and Tim and all who make me solar proud!
