    Solar Services on the South Shore — Honest, Local, Built for Massachusetts.

    I handle the whole job from start to finish. When you work with me, you're not getting handed off to a call center or a revolving door of subcontractors. I design the system, I manage the permitting and utility paperwork, and I oversee the local, licensed crews who do the actual installation.

    Whether you're looking for a complete rooftop installation, need to add a battery, or just want an honest assessment of whether solar makes sense for your home, use the list below to find exactly what you need. If it doesn't make sense for your home, I'll tell you that too.

    Residential Solar Installation

    Complete rooftop solar design and installation management for Massachusetts homeowners. Installation by those licensed crews is clean, professional, and coordinated with your utility's interconnection timeline.

    Commercial Solar

    If you own a small business, farm, or commercial property, I can help you cut operating costs with solar. I handle everything from load analysis to SMART program incentives and utility interconnection.

    Solar Consultation & Assessment

    Before I quote anything, I take a hard look at your roof condition, shading, and utility setup. If solar doesn't make sense for your home, I'll tell you that straight up—no sales pressure.

    Battery & Energy Storage

    I design — and oversee the installation of — home battery systems like the Tesla Powerwall and Enphase IQ Battery. Keep your essentials running during an outage and earn money year-round through Massachusetts ConnectedSolutions.

    Solar Maintenance & Repairs

    I stay accountable for every project I oversee. If you're seeing underperformance, error codes, or physical damage, I'll diagnose the problem and bring in the right licensed techs to get it fixed — including systems installed by other companies.

    Solar Financing

    You don't need a massive cash payment to go solar. I walk every homeowner through the real financing landscape—loans, leases, PPAs, and cash—so you can compare true costs and monthly impact.

    Solar Permitting & Paperwork

    It's all handled as part of every project I manage. You won't need to chase down your utility or figure out state incentive applications on your own.

    Solar Panel Removal & Reinstall

    I manage the whole thing: a licensed solar crew removes your panels, I coordinate timing directly with your roofing contractor, and the system is re-mounted and recommissioned properly after the roofing work is complete. This is something most roofing companies aren't equipped to handle — I make sure it's done right.

    Serving the South Shore and Beyond

    I work with homeowners and businesses across southeastern Massachusetts. Whether you're in Scituate, Plymouth, Hingham, Marshfield, Duxbury, Norwell, Quincy, Cohasset, Hanover, Pembroke, Weymouth, Braintree, or a surrounding town — I can come out and take a look.

    Common Questions About Working With Me

    Honest answers about costs, incentives, and what to expect.

    How much does it cost to go solar in Massachusetts?
    Every roof and energy bill is different, so I don't give generic ballpark quotes. I'll look at your actual usage and design a system that fits your home. Most South Shore homeowners see a payback in 5–8 years, and I'll show you exactly how the numbers break down for you.
    What solar incentives are available in Massachusetts?
    Massachusetts has some of the strongest incentives in the country. You've got the SMART program, true 1:1 retail net metering, and a state tax credit up to $1,000. I'll walk you through exactly which programs your home qualifies for.
    How do I know if my roof is a good fit?
    That's what the free consultation is for. I look at your roof's age, orientation, and shading. If your roof isn't a good candidate for solar—whether because of trees or condition—I'll tell you that directly before you spend a dime.
    Do I have to pay for solar upfront?
    No. Most homeowners finance their system with a solar loan, often ending up with a monthly payment that's lower than their old electric bill. I'll explain all your options—cash, loan, lease, or PPA—so you can make an informed choice.
    What makes Solar Dave different from national companies?
    I'm local, I've been doing this since 2011, and you deal directly with me—not a call center or a commissioned salesperson. I use local licensed crews I trust, and I don't vanish after the installation is done.
    How long does the installation process take?
    The actual installation usually takes one to two days. The timeline from our first conversation to turning the system on is typically 6–12 weeks, mostly depending on town permitting and utility interconnection, which I handle for you.
