- 01
Free savings review
Send one utility bill. We model production on your actual roof with satellite and shade data — no salesperson on your porch.
- 02
Custom design & site visit
A local engineer confirms rafters, panel capacity, and array layout, then prices the system with every incentive applied.
- 03
Permits and install
We handle town permitting, utility interconnection, and inspection. Installation is typically one to two days.
- 04
Switch on and monitor
Watch production per panel from your phone. Our New England service team monitors output for 25 years.
Built for six states, four seasons, and one very cold February
Lower bills from month one
New England pays some of the highest electric rates in the country. A financed system usually costs less per month than the bill it replaces.
Incentives stacked for you
30% federal credit plus state programs like MA SMART, CT residential solar incentives, RI REG, and net metering credits.
Power through nor'easters
Pair panels with battery storage and keep the well pump, fridge, and heat running when the street goes dark.
One 25-year warranty
Panels, inverter, workmanship, roof penetrations, and production — covered by us, not a call center three time zones away.
Three ways to pay. All of them start at $0 out of pocket.
$0-down loan
Fixed-rate solar loan with terms from 10 to 25 years. You own the system and claim the 30% federal credit.
- No upfront cost
- You keep all incentives
- Payment often below current bill
Cash purchase
Pay once, skip all interest, and reach payback in roughly seven to nine years at New England rates.
- Highest 25-year savings
- Adds appraised home value
- No lien, no dealer fee
Lease / PPA
We own and maintain the system; you buy the power at a rate below your utility with a fixed escalator.
- No credit-heavy loan
- Maintenance included
- Transferable at sale
1,280 reviews from across New England
“Our National Grid bill went from $310 a month to $18. The crew flashed every mount properly and cleaned up like they were never here.”
“Three companies quoted us. Northstar was the only one that walked the attic, checked the panel, and told us to replace the roof first. That honesty won the job.”
“Permitting in Providence is a maze and they handled all of it. Interconnection approved in six weeks, exactly as promised.”
Commercial arrays with a three-to-five-year payback
Warehouses, manufacturers, farms, municipalities, and multifamily portfolios across New England. Depreciation, ITC adders, and SMART or ZREC revenue modeled line by line.
