How did you like them? I'm thinking about getting panels but I'm a little apprehensive about picking a vendor. It's tough to know who is trustworthy and such.

LOVED the team at Newport Solar. The owner, Doug, is an expert in the field and is someone who regularly represents the industry at the Statehouse, testifying about the science and benefits. He's no fly by night or just out to make a quick buck. Highly recommended.

Do yourself a favor and be sure to talk to Dexter at Rooftop Power. Compare them to everyone else. You’ll be glad you did.

In my experience they were extremely overpriced and tried to upsell me on a system nearly twice the size I needed under the guise of “more profit’” from the renewable energy growth plan

We're getting solar and the power company made our installer downsize the system twice before approving it. My understanding is they won't approve a system that produces more than your historical electricity usage.

We had a little bit of leeway because we just moved into the home and had an EV and used more electricity than the prior owners and I think the sales guy just smelled blood in the water and went for it lol

125% of your historic use is/was the rule.

This is one reason to go with a local vendor and get recommendations.
