Solar Installation
We design and install customized solar arrays for residential, commercial, and agricultural properties. Our systems utilize high-efficiency panels from trusted brands like Enphase and SolarEdge, with options for rooftop, ground mount, and carport installations. Backed by a 25-year equipment warranty and 15-year workmanship guarantee, our licensed electricians ensure optimal performance and compliance with local regulations.
Battery Backup Systems
Our Noreaster battery backup packages provide energy security during grid outages. Compatible with existing solar arrays, these systems use advanced lithium-ion technology to store excess energy for nighttime or emergency use. Installation includes system integration, monitoring capabilities, and compliance with local electrical codes to ensure reliable power during storms or blackouts.
Mini-split Heat Pumps
We install energy-efficient mini-split heat pumps for residential climate control. These systems provide zoned heating and cooling with WiFi compatibility for smart home integration. As a certified HPIN member, we handle MassSave rebate paperwork and offer zero-percent Heat Loan financing to reduce upfront costs for homeowners.
EV Charging Stations
Our team installs Level 2 EV charging stations for residential and commercial properties. Systems include smart charging capabilities, grid compatibility assessments, and integration with existing electrical infrastructure. We use top-tier components to ensure fast, reliable charging while maximizing energy efficiency and cost savings.
Pest Guards
We install protective barriers to prevent animal damage to solar arrays. These guards deter squirrels, birds, and other pests from nesting under panels, reducing fire hazards and wiring damage. The solution preserves wildlife while protecting investments, with durable materials that withstand New England weather conditions.

Questions
What solar incentives are available in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts offers a 30% federal tax credit, $1,000 state tax credit, REC cash incentives, and property tax exemptions. Our team helps clients maximize savings through these programs.
How long does a solar installation take?
The process typically takes 3-6 months, including site assessment, design, permitting, and installation. Residential projects often complete within a few days once construction begins.
Do you offer solar leases or PPAs?
We only advocate owned solar systems to maximize long-term savings. Leases and PPAs prevent homeowners from claiming rebates and create complications during property sales.
What maintenance do solar panels require?
PV systems need minimal maintenance. Rain cleans panels naturally, while monitoring software tracks performance. We offer comprehensive warranties covering parts and workmanship for 15-25 years.
Can I install solar if I have trees on my property?
Yes. Our team evaluates shading impacts during site assessments. Ground mounts and carports provide alternatives when roof space has partial shading from trees or other obstructions.
How do snow and weather affect solar performance?
Snow slides off panels quickly, but we offer snow guards to prevent roof avalanches. Our systems withstand extreme weather, with monitoring tools tracking production year-round for optimal performance.

Report
I was referred to Northeast Solar by a co-worker on a good recommendation, and they sure lived up to that. Before I knew exactly what I wanted, I spoke to Tom Kelley on the phone who was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful, without any sort of pressure sales stuff. They sent a detailed plan (actually a few options) after analyzing my solar situation, and were quick to revise once I decided I wanted to go even bigger. Their communication was excellent throughout the whole process - explaining the paperwork and inspections needed (they took care of all that), and then keeping me informed

We can definitely recommend Northeast Solar to anyone looking for a local, trustworthy, and professional company. Our system was flawlessly installed in 2018.Working with Rusty Ingold-Smith was a pleasure. He resolved all of our concerns and made the process simple and effortless. Since then, whenever we have had questions, we have always found Rusty accessible and helpful. It has been a pleasure to work with Northeast Solar.

We bought our solar array from Northeast Solar (Hatfield) as part of the Solarize Belchertown group. Beginning with our initial contact with Northeast Solar and throughout the installation, the process was easy and straight forward. Zach met with us to size the system and explain everything. He made it very easy to understand. NE Solar took care of all of the paperwork with National Grid and the SMART program. The installers (Chris and Jeff) were great workers and very respectful. They did a nice job of hiding the electrical conduits coming down the side of the house. We highly recommend them.

Northeast Solar was absolutely wonderful. We had them install solar panels five years ago and it was an easy and pleasant process. They are very skilled and knowledgeable; Rusty did an excellent job of informing us about the process, from details about the system to the ins and outs of the tax credits that were available. It was a delight to work with a small local business that is doing such good work. We cannot recommend Northeast Solar highly enough for all your solar needs!
