Go Solar with NEC and Liz - you won't regret it
I wanted to use solar power for a while, but I owned a condo and couldn’t put it on the roof. So when I got a house, I looked into solar for electricity. I had heard of NEC Solar from signs around my town, so I reached out to Liz Thomson. They call her Solar Liz for a reason. She was great. She spent a lot of time with me reviewing all aspects of solar and gave me a binder with all the information on going solar – including pictures of my house and how much solar it would produce, rebate, and breakeven information. Every aspect of working with NEC was great. They kept me informed of when it would be installed and then when it would be ok’d and turned on by Eversource. It was so great and worked so well that I put on more solar panels a year later on the addition to the house with Liz and NEC.

Good experience with NEC
I offered to Artie and Wyatt to write a favorable review; they did not ask me. They were very responsive to questions etc, and that is important to me. They gave me a lot of information. Also, as far as I can tell, the installation was professional. Very quickly I was producing energy if I was using it. Within a couple of weeks RI Energy replaced the meter and as soon as that was done, my system was producing as much energy as the sun and system allowed. When the sun has been out, even at the low December-January sun angle, I am producing more than I use. I have a plug in hybrid Prius and charging this is more than half my energy usage.

If only everything worked this well!
We are 100% satisfied with the solar panel system that NEC installed on our home. From the initial consultation and project proposals, through the scheduling and permitting, to the final installation and inspection process, Artie and the NEC crew handled all of the necessary tasks, on schedule and on budget, with the greatest degree of professionalism. We really appreciated the clear and responsive communication all along the way. Any questions we had were promptly and helpfully responded to by Artie or our Project Manager Alex. The installation crew was excellent, very well organized and focused. The installation electrician even identified and corrected a minor issue with our existing electrical panel. Our (20) solar panels were installed in one day, and not so much as a random screw or scrap of plastic left behind for us to pick up. After two years of service, we can report that our solar array is producing exactly as projected. There is never a need to check on the system, but it is good to know that the Enphase app is available when we wish to monitor our electrical usage and production, (also useful to monitor the usage of supplemental space heaters, ovens etc.) All in all, NEC gets an A++ from us!

Excellent
Very pleased with the entire process from the initial design through installation and final permission to operate. The installation even looks good, which you don't often see with rooftop installations. This is a local company that specializes in electrical contracting and solar in particular. They were able to expedite permit pulling and inspections. The entire schedule was "as advertised" and their project lead, Nick, kept us informed and helped us with logistics such as registering for SRECs and even forms to claim state and federal tax credits. Highly recommend.

Almost "artisanal" service and installation!
When you think of placing panels on a roof, you may think that it's just a "plug-and-play" installation based on the area available - not the case with NEC Solar. We have a difficult roof, and from the projects beginning definition through planning, design and then installation it was super-customized to maximize the potential of the system with the roof lines. Installation also resulted with no visible cabling, a feat that required ingenuity on the installation team's part. It really felt "artisanal" with an accompanying super professional team. Plus, the process with getting into production was "frictionless" with regards to the utility company and local permitting.

Timely and professional
NEC Solar (Artie Crocker) All the crew were terrific. We at the Needham VFW are glad to have made the correct choice of NEC and the installers.

Highly Recommend!
We were looking to get solar on our house in 2022 and looked at 6 different companies. NEC stood out above the others. Their system was better and their customer service was amazing! We purchased solar from NEC in 2022. Dana and Alex kept us updated the entire time and everything was done in a timely manner. I highly recommend buying or leasing solar from NEC!

Excellent
Dana, Wyatt and the NEC team did a great job guiding us through the process from start to finish! Their attention to detail and quality of workmanship are second to none.

Very professional team, quality installation
NEC solar designed and installed a 10.26 kW DC array on my roof in June 2023, in replacement for an old solar shingle system installed by another company and that failed after 10 years. They are knowledgeable, explain everything in detail, take time to answer questions, and do not place any pressure to commit. The top quality panels they have installed on my roof work amazingly well so far, 6 months after their installation. I have a 2,400 sqft house that is all-electric and it appears that it will reach "net-zero” averaged over a full year. Because NEC is also an electrical company, they could handle the decommissioning of the defective solar shingles prior to the installation of the new array, coordinating their work with the company that reshingled the roof after their removal of the solar shingles. Overall, their careful planning saved me a lot of trouble and time. I very much appreciated their professionalism and how the entire team worked together harmoniously and efficiently, making their presence around my house a pleasant experience.

LOVED working with them!
The NEC team was wonderful to work with! They did a large install on my house (several years ago) and my parents house (this year). Communication was on point! The team that did the install was respectful of the family and property. Everything was cleaned up each night and the team was SO polite! Would definitely recommend!!
