The solar company your neighbor actually recommends
Founded in Worcester in 2011. Still family-owned, still installing with our own crews, and still answering the phone fifteen years after the first array went up.
Six states, one local company
Offices in Worcester, Hartford, and Portland. Our crews know which towns want stamped plans, which utilities drag on interconnection, and how the Cape wind load rules differ.
Engineered for New England winters
Snow-load-rated racking, ice-dam-aware layouts, and cold-weather battery siting. We design for February, not for a brochure shot in Arizona.
In-house crews, never subbed out
Every roofer and licensed electrician on your project is a Northstar employee, badged and background-checked. No mystery van in the driveway.
One human owns your project
A named project manager from design through permission-to-operate, plus a service line answered in Worcester — not a ticket queue.
