Solar to MA, RI and NH.

Passionate about solar, committed to you.

I'm Dave Simmer, a Massachusetts solar designer and NABCEP-trained professional based in Scituate, MA. Since 2011, I've designed and overseen over 1,800 residential and commercial solar installations across the South Shore — from Scituate and Hingham to Plymouth and the towns in between. Every install is handled by fully licensed local crews I've worked with and trust.

Most people I talk to aren’t looking for a sales pitch. They just want to know if solar actually makes sense for their home.

That’s exactly how I approach it. I’ll look at your roof, your electric usage, and walk you through real numbers. What it costs, what you would save, and how it plays out over time. If it works, great. If it doesn’t, I will tell you that too. Not every house is a good fit, and people appreciate hearing that upfront.

I have been working in solar for over 15 years, mostly right here on the South Shore. I have seen just about every type of roof, layout, and electrical setup you can imagine. That local experience matters. It helps avoid surprises and leads to cleaner, better installs.

I also think solar should be done the right way. Too many homeowners end up with systems that do not really make financial sense, or feel like they were pushed into something they did not fully understand. That is what I try to avoid.

My goal is simple. Help you understand your options clearly so you can make a confident decision for your home.

If you are in Scituate, Plymouth, Hingham, Marshfield, Norwell, or anywhere nearby, feel free to reach out anytime.

What homeowners I’ve worked with are saying:

Amanda R. - Plymouth, MA

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.

Lisa A. - Providence, RI

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!

George P. - Scituate, MA

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.
