Earthlights customer service is superb. All of the team members were consummate professionals who really care about supporting us through the process. They made every part of the installation easy and seamless. They even called to notify us that EverSource had installed our meter and walked us through the process of turning on our new system. We could hear the representatives smile through the phone. His positive energy and excitement were contagious. Earthlight team is professional, efficient, effective, and a complete pleasure to work with.

Best experience purchasing solar that you can ask for! The entire Earthlight team is super friendly, gives you recommended options, and keeps you informed through every step. You can tell they are a well connected company where everyone has a focus on their customers total experience, rather than individuals just doing their assigned task.

Earthlight installed our system this past January on probably the coldest two days of the winter. I was amazed that the entire system was installed in just two days! When they were complete, there wasn't a bit of trash to be found, they did a terrific job cleaning up. Their team was incredibly polite and efficient. The communication with the office was seamless during the entire process, from the initial site visit up to the final walk through and training on use of the system with Kevin (he was very knowledgeable and polite too). They get a 5-star plus review from us!

Recently got a SunPower system installed by Earthlight. Great people to do business with; salesman was no pressure and did a great job explaining the technology and benefits of SunPower vs. competitors, project manager was great and kept us "in the loop", and the installation crew was outstanding! Top notch electrical work, all of the new boxes inside and outside have bright red signage to show what's what, and they swept up and left our basement cleaner than they found it! The roof crew was all business the day of the install and got the job done well, from unpacking (and removing all packaging

We had solar panels installed. The installation team was friendly, professional, polite, knowledgeable and clean! Excellent customer service from start to finish. We went with Earthlight because we liked the fact that they are a local family owned business. We highly recommend Earthlight Solar and Energy Solutions.
