Report
I emailed several solar installers throughout Eastern and Bangor Maine about an installation of a small array at our camp. While the installation was too small of a project for Sundog Solar, Laura at Sundog gave me information on a website that sells and designs such systems and the names of local installers who may help. This was the type of service that you hope for, but sadly seldom get today.

After 2+ years, it feels like time to write a review: I installed a 7.9kW array in April 2018, choosing Sundog for the job after estimates and consults with 3 different installers. Danny Piper walked me through every detail on the phone the first time I called, gave me a great education and helpful guidance about how to get the best bang for my buck re size of array, type of inverter, etc. Every person on the Sundog team has been great to work with, from installers to electrician to the people in the office who have helped me sort out some inverter questions remotely. I didn't have cash to buy

We are new to Maine and decided to add solar panels and heat pumps. After researching our options and receiving proposals from several solar installers, we decided on Sundog Solar. Simple reason for our choice was Danny Piper, the owner. The systems have been installed now for a few weeks and everything is performing as promised. Solar output is exactly what was projected on the proposal. The heat pumps are quiet and effective. The installation was smooth because Danny and his team are good at what they do. If you are looking for Solar or Heat Pumps, we highly recommend Sundog Solar

Very pleasant folks to do business with, they installed two heat pumps for us all in one day, their team worked together flawlessly, never stopped, neat, polite, stayed late and got it all done, even took off their shoes in the house AND vacuumed. The price was very competitive with other quotes we received, we chose SunDog because they were responsive and they were very patient with my thousand questions.
