    What Homeowners Are Saying

    Don't just take my word for it. Here's what homeowners across Massachusetts and Rhode Island have to say about working with me.

    "Dave was extremely thorough and walked me through the whole process. Things happened quickly once National Grid approved everything, and the install was ready to go within a week! The electrician/installer was phenomenal too."

    Amanda R.

    "Dave and his team were fantastic. His price could not be beat as well, and I can't imagine anyone else providing better customer service or installation experience. I am now producing enough energy to completely eliminate my electricity costs!"

    Lisa A.

    "Hats off and kudos to Solar Dave and his team. Everyone from operations to the install team have been fabulous! I look at the App everyday to see how much I am over producing and how little we are using. Very impressive! If you are considering going solar, I would definitely talk with Dave."

    Thinking About Solar in Massachusetts? Let's Take a Look Together

    If you're thinking about solar, I'm happy to take a look at your home and walk you through what it would actually look like.

    I'll go over your roof, your electric usage, and the current incentives so you can see real numbers and how it all comes together.

    Most people I talk to just want to understand a few things:

    • if their home is a good fit
    • what it would cost
    • and whether it is really worth it

    That is exactly what I help you figure out.

    In many cases, this can be done with little to no upfront cost, and monthly payments that are lower than your current electric bill.
