A&R Solar

As a research guru, I do considerable research before hiring a company to do any work our house. After doing much research into various solar companies, the choice was clear to my husband and me that selecting A&R Solar to install the solar on our home was definitely the best option. We recently had the solar system installed on our home and couldn't be happier - A&R Solar is a top notch organization! Every step of the way, all A&R Solar employees whom we've interacted with have been exceptionally professional, helpful, impressively knowledgeable, responsive, and very courteous. We were delighted that they installed our solar system in one day and incredibly happy to see that they did such a great job. My husband and I highly recommend A&R Solar to anyone who is considering having solar installed. Our real estate agents highly recommended A&R Solar to us and now we know why - they are great at what they do and their organization truly makes a positive difference. If you are looking for an exceptional solar company that operates as a "best-in-class" organization, A&R Solar is it. Its evident that with A&R Solar being an employee owned company, their employees take great pride in their work and provide excellent solar systems to their customers. We're very impressed and thankful for A&R Solar!

We could not be happier that we've "gone solar." We love our new system and our whole installation team was just great. Specifically, Finn was an absolute gem and Andy was really great. Everyone was friendly, kind, tidy, patient (that last one - patience - got a bit of a workout, teaching us old dogs new tricks!). Would not hesitate for a moment to recommend A&R Solar.

We have been very happy with our Tesla batteries! There have been frequent power outages in our neighborhood that we were un-aware of unless we looked across the street and didn't see any lights on. The battery kicks in so quickly we do not need to reset clocks. If/when we eventually replace our gas furnace with a heat pump, we will probably add a third battery so there is enough power to run the heat pump.

We hired A&R Solar for a 'solar panel with battery backup' installation. Everyone we worked with was professional and courteous. All the work was done with skill and well within the schedule promised. Our project manager communicated well with us and answered all our questions quickly. The process, from start to PSE approval, was very easy for us. We are very happy with the service and installation. We highly recommend A&R Solar for home solar installations.

I had solar panels and a solar battery installed in April of 2025. So far, with net metering, I'm paying just the connection fee monthly to my electric utility. It's reassuring to know that I am not at the mercy of an outage from whatever cause and that I'll have A&R to back me up for the life of my system. Installation was painless. The A&R crew were considerate, communicated well, efficient and took pains to see the panel and battery installation were done well and in accordance with local codes.

A and R installed an extensive solar setup and battery backup system into our basically new construction house. While I think they put in an honest effort, and I believe they are a good company, I am disappointed with the final result. Specifically, when the power goes out, there is a period of several seconds where nothing in my house has power, and then many of our electrical panels "trip" the circuit breakers as power flickers on and off during the transition. We suspect this has damaged quite a few of our electrical devices throughout the house, so we have added additional UPS battery backups to many of them, as well as surge protectors everywhere we can to help reduce the risk, but we still have many appliances at risk since there is no easy way that I know of to add surge protection to them. Over a period of a couple of years, A and R has been good, though a bit slow, in coming back to tweak the system and make things better, but it has never felt completed, and never really met the need for which we put the system in. I am disappointed with the end product and wish that we had chosen a different system that would do a better job maintaining power and providing clean reliable power. I thought that we were essentially buying a "whole house UPS", but what we got was FAR inferior. Perhaps I notice this more than other customers because I live in an area with frequent blackouts. I am now researching ways to supplement or replace this system with something more reliable that can provide instant clean power, and has the ability to protect all the equipment in my house.

From start to finish the A&R Solar team has been top notch! Their professionalism, communication and quality of work has made me a very satisfied , happy and proud customer. My Tesla solar system far exceeds my household energy needs on a sunny day, is helping the environment and looks great on my roof! The cherry on top is all the money I'm saving each month as evidenced by my greatly reduced electricity bill! I highly recommended A&R to anyone thinking about going solar!
