Vivint smart home systems can work alongside your solar setup to create a fully connected and secure home. With features like smart thermostats, doorbell cameras, motion sensors, and remote monitoring—all powered by your solar energy—you get convenience, control, and peace of mind in one package.

Battery storage isn’t required but offers major benefits. It allows you to store extra energy your panels produce and use it at night, during peak-rate hours, or power outages. It adds reliability and can help you achieve energy independence, especially in areas prone to grid disruptions.

Shading from nearby trees can significantly impact solar performance. We offer tree assessment and removal support to ensure your panels get optimal sun exposure. In some cases, we can help you qualify for financing or incentive assistance to offset the cost of removal.

Ground-mounted solar systems are installed on your property instead of your roof. They’re ideal if your roof isn’t suitable for panels or you want more flexibility in system size and orientation. Ground mounts are just as effective and can often be optimized for maximum energy production.

Each New England state has unique solar incentives. For example, Massachusetts offers SMART program rebates, Rhode Island provides Performance-Based Incentives (PBIs), and New Hampshire residents may be eligible for rebates and property tax exemptions. We’ll help you identify and apply for every benefit you qualify for.

Yes, your solar panels will still generate electricity even on cloudy or rainy days, although with reduced efficiency. They can still capture indirect sunlight, and in some cases, rain can even help clean the panels and improve their performance.
