Flawless Solar Experience – Exceptional Team, Maximum Output

Working with NEC Solar on our 14 kW system was hands-down one of the best contractor experiences we’ve had - truly exceptional from start to finish. Artie (our Solar Engineer) and Nick (our Ops Manager) went above and beyond every step of the way. Artie was incredible. Out of all the companies I requested quotes from, he was the only one who took the time to design a system that fully maximized our roof’s potential. He treated it like a personal mission to squeeze every last panel on there - pushing right to the roofline to get us the highest possible output. He was unbelievably responsive (often replying within minutes), patient with all my questions, and ran multiple design scenarios until we found the one that worked best. His attention to detail and commitment to getting it right made NEC the obvious choice. When Nick took over to manage the install, the professionalism didn’t skip a beat. His communication was outstanding - I always knew what was happening, what to expect next, and he made sure everything stayed on track. Even when we hit a delay with Eversource, Nick stayed on top of it and pushed the process forward. The install itself was seamless, scheduled quickly, and completed exactly when and how he said it would be. He followed up to make sure our system was online in the app and that all the trade credit paperwork was squared away. I’ve worked with a lot of contractors over the last two years while remodeling our home, and NEC Solar has been the best. Their pricing was competitive, their service was top-tier, and their care for the customer experience is unmatched. If you're going solar, talk to Artie and go with NEC. No one will work harder to max out your roof with clean energy.

Great Experience

From the initial contact for a quote, to the completed installation and final inspections it has been a very smooth process and experience. Dana ( Solar Consultant ) was very professional and easy to talk to. She would answer all our questions in a timely manner and had no problem with getting a answer to a question that she wasn't't sure of. Alex ( Project Manager ) was equally as professional and easy to talk with. He came to our property and went over everything about the project and answered any questions that we had. He also sent us any paperwork that needed to be signed to get the system up any running. Both Dana and Alex take care of everything that is needed to get final approval with both the town and electric company. The installation team were terrific in all phases. Fearless too! Up on our steep roof is not for the faint at heart. They were excellent at explaining details of the completed system. We are very happy with our decision to contract with NEC. We highly recommend them and are looking forward to the future cost savings of our energy bills going forward.

Excellent Referral Process

I referred my High School friends to Dana Goodman & NEC Solar because I trusted them to provide the people I care for with a high quality installation and customer experience. Dana not only delivered in those regards but the referral process was quick and easy.

NEC did an excellent job installing a solar array on our roof

We recently removed our oil heat and hot water and became all electric. As a result, our electric bill increased dramatically. We decided to explore solar. We contacted two local solar installers and after very detailed explanation and proposal from each, we chose NEC. The price was about the same, although NEC's was for a larger system, which is what we wanted. NEC was more aggressive with respect to sizing than the other. The sales person was very knowledgeable, patient, and answered all of our questions in language we could understand. The project manager and installation crews were very professional, timely, and did a very neat job. They answered all of our questions as the installation proceeded. We give NEC 5 stars without hesitation. December, 2024 Acton, MA

Ground mounted Solar Array

We had three companies bid on our ground mounted solar array project. NEC had the best quality panels and inverters as well as the most detailed 3D imaging of our site to ensure our future production. The project was completed on time and as quoted. It was a truly turnkey experience with almost no need for our involvement except for deciding the final height above the ground. NEC took care of all of the permitting with our town and contacted Eversource for the right to apply for net metering. We were constantly informed of the progress of each permit. The mounting frame took one and half days to erect despite encountering ledge on all seven mounting points. This required the use of a rock drill. Great care was taken to prevent damage to my lawn while transporting the drill to the site. The remainder of the array, trenching and wiring was completed in four days. After the trench and wiring was inspected the soil was replaced with great care. The array is now operational, and we are pleased to see we now exporting energy to the grid as well as covering the needs of our home. We are very happy we chose NEC as our installer. The project manager, Nick and his crew were a pleasure to work with and they were very respectful of our property. Thank you, NEC!

Solar installation by NEC Solar

We had solar panels installed by NEC Solar in August 2021. The installation process was entirely smooth. Since then, the system has performed as well and sometimes better than the estimates provided prior to installation. We also really appreciated the personal touch that came with having a local Needham solar expert, Artie Crocker, do the assessment and walk us through the installation process.
