SunCommon - Waterbury, Vermont

Seven years ago we had SunCommon install 23 solar panels on the roof of our house and 2 PowerWalls in the basement. We have been so pleased with the installation that has seen us through many power outages, that we went back to SunCommon in 2024 to have 32 rooftop panels plus 2 PowerWalls installed at our barn. The SunCommon staff was very helpful and the installation crew was great. The installed the entire system in just two days during cold and snowy weather in December. They couldn't have been more pleasant and professional. We did run into a bureaucratic snafu with the Public Utilities Commission which delayed connection to the grid by two and a half months, but SunCommon very graciously fully reimbursed me for the lost power production during the delay.

I just got my solar roof on and I love it. It was a great experience working with Sun Common start to finish- everyone on the team, from the first people they sent to the house to set the plan up to the team who installed and those behind the scenes - everyone were absolutely lovely people, answered all my questions throughout this process and made the installation a delight. I recommend them highly.

We are super excited that we are now "powered by solar"! Overall, our journey with SunCommon was really very good. We had some issues in the early stages with sporadic communication about project status and with scheduling (hence the 4 star rating), but Project Management Lead Maddy really stepped up to address all of our concerns. Through her efforts, the design was fast tracked, and the work scheduled. Thanks to Jason for providing a detailed introduction to the process, and a big shout out to the installation crew led by Ryan, and his core team of Duncan, Josh, Jarrett, and Kai. Their work was both professional and efficient, and they were great folks to work with. Kudos and thank you all for a job well done!

I want to share my appreciation of SunCommon and recommend the company for solar installations. We recently engaged the company to install a solar canopy with battery backup at our house. We were given excellent advice and guidance during the design and planning phases, and each person that came on site was professional, patient and knowledgeable. Canopy installation went smoothly, despite the underlying bedrock, and we were greatly pleased with the look. The rest of the installation, from trenching to battery installation and pairing with my phone was conducted with neat, efficient, and diligent work by the SunCommon technical group. Every workman that came shared their enthusiasm for the product and their collective experience in making them work. I highly recommend SunCommon!

Earlier this year we began our search for a solar company which included numerous interviews with solar companies and recommendations from neighbors who already had solar installed. During this phase of our project, it became clear that SunCommon stood out from the rest. In particular, we found Tim to be organized, professional and supportive which made the entire process a great success. Even when issues came up during the install phase, as they inevitably do with any large-scale project involving coordination between multiple teams, Tim made himself available to address the issues within the same day and went above and beyond to address the situation. We love our solar array/carport! We believe the pictures speak for themselves. Thank you SunCommon (especially Tim!) for all your hard work! Highly recommended!!!

We had rooftop solar installed by SunCommon 2 years ago on our Lake Champlain home in Saint Albans. From the initial consultation through the installation and current energy savings, we have been blown away by the quality of customer service. Nick explained everything in detail, set a timeframe, and met it. We often recommend residential solar through SunCommon---couldn't be more pleased!

We used SunCommon several years ago, and decided to add more solar panels this year because we had a good experience with them. The crew that did this installation was fabulous. They were courteous, friendly and very knowledgeable. They started the project in the rain and it didn't dampen their positive energy. The install went great, they took time to show us all the new equipment and answer all our questions, and they took care to clean up when they were done. We would recommend SunCommon without question!

We are pleased with our solar canopy and working with SunCommon throughout this one-year process. The moment we made an inquiry, we spoke with a SunCommon rep to go over our options, both in terms of system size and lining up a loan. Tim Patterson was our solar advisor and he guided us through our project scope, which switched from a rooftop installation to solar canopy when Burlington's 3-ft from roof edge regulation reduced the size and potential output for us.

In addition to a solar canopy, we upgraded our electrical to make EV charging possible in our garage. Throughout the planning process, SunCommon's engineering designed our system and lined up permits with the City. The project occurred over the summer, after some supply delays, over 3 weeks and on 4 full days of work crews: digging trenches, setting up anchors, timberframe raising, solar panel and electrical panel installation, and inspections. One month after installation and collecting data, we got to sit down with Tim to learn how we can manage and monitor our system for the future.

Overall, our family had a great experience with SunCommon and we are content with our solar canopy as a space for us to enjoy outdoors while generating power.
