Installation w/ Solar Edge "StoreEdge" inverter/LG Chem Battery
While there are a number of solar installers who can install rooftop panels and an inverter, ACE Solar provided a design and installation that included a number of additional features and the result was a true state of the art installation. Here are some highlights:<br /><br />1) The installation included the aesthetics of IST SunTegra integrated panels that are installed “flush†on the rooftop and appear more like a sky light than traditional stand off mounted solar panels. This drew praise from the neighbors.<br /><br />2) While the aesthetics of the IST SunTegra panels was important to us, it required that their installation be carefully coordinated with the work of our general roofing contractor who was replacing the shingles on the rest of our roof, and around the perimeter of the IST SunTegra panels. ACE Solar worked well with our general roofing contractor and ensured that we had no exposed roof conditions.<br /><br />3) While some installations are significantly compromised by partial array shading, this installation included Solar Edge “optimizers†that ensure maximum power output from virtually every solar panel in the array.<br /><br />4) A 10 kwhr LG Chem battery was combined with a Solar Edge “Store Edge†Inverter to automatically power selected backed up circuits (freezer, refrigerator, oil burner, etc.) during power outages, as well as to support time of day metering when needed at a later date. Most solar installations do not work when the grid power is lost, but our installation does, and it also includes the provision for adding a second battery (for a total capacity of 20 kwhr) at a later date. While time of day metering is not currently utilized in our area, we believe that it is likely to be coming in the not too distant future, and the on site battery capability will allow us to buy and sell electrical power at the optimum time of day.<br /><br />5) We knew that this installation was pushing the envelope of the battery technology that was out there. While there were some availability issues with LG Chem batteries, and while there were some gaps in manufacturers information on battery integration, ACE Solar worked well with suppliers and me to quickly and professionally resolve all issues.

Great Value
Had the full solar panel system put on house July 2016. Jim and his crew worked with me every step of the way for the highest level of production. I have already sold over 10,000 kWh and my bill averages between $12 to $25 per month. I also purchased the service to sell the SREC's I earn and get a pretty good price for them. This summer, I plan to have him install my backup system to run off the natural gas in my home.

Panel install
The install went extremely smooth and James took time to explain how the system worked throughout the process. Shortly after the install, the panels made it through hurricane Sandy without a hitch.

Awesome company to go with for solar system installation!
I worked with James 3yrs ago to install my own solar system on my roof. He and his team were friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough throughout the process. Pricing was very reasonable and if ever I have any issues he's very responsive to sort them to resolution.

ACE Solar - Highly Recommend
Jim and ACE Solar made my solar installation as simple as possible. From explaining the different options (financing/leasing) to helping secure financing for the project. They are professionals who know how to do their job very well. I highly recommend going solar and using ACE Solar as your solar company!

Highly recommended
Great company to work with. As promised, they took care of everything from obtaining DOB permits and designing the optimal layout of the panels to giving us a little training session after the installation was completed.<br /><br />A year later, I'm still pleasantly surprised that their original estimates match actual savings that we incurred.

ACE Solar did a fantastic job!
I had ACE Solar replace some panels that I had installed by a big box home improvement store. They did a FANTASTIC job. Jim Van Ness was so knowledgeable and took the time out to make sure I understood everything about the project. In addition, he was able to fix a lot of the issues that had occurred by going with the big box home improvement store . I only have the highest recommendation for ACE Solar!

Exceeded Expectations
Not only is Jim extremely knowledgeable, but his installers are competent, courteous, and well trained. I have dealt with other solar companies where I was just a number. My new system is exceeding my calculation and expectations.
