EMT Solar and Roofing primarily completes solar projects in New Jersey, but the company’s service area extends to Pennsylvania as well. EMT Solar’s roofing expertise is a great asset when it comes to installing or reinstalling solar after roof renovations. Even though the company is new to the industry, it is NABCEP certified, which means its solar contractors are always up to date on the latest trends and technology in the solar industry.

The Good

  • Over 500 Projects Completed
  • One-Day Solar Installation
  • Solar Removal and Reinstallation Services
  • 25-Year Solar Panel Life

Over 500 Projects Completed

While EMT Solar has only been in business since 2018, the company has already completed many solar and roofing projects. There are a handful of existing reviews online for EMT Solar, and almost all are positive. EMT Solar may not have the years of experience that other solar contractors have, but customers indicate that working with EMT Solar was a positive experience. 

One-Day Solar Installation

EMT Solar aims to be quick and efficient with solar installations, and typically completes these projects within a single day. A few weeks after the initial installation, EMT Solar will perform a detailed inspection on the system to ensure that it is functioning properly and saving the maximum amount of energy it can. 

Solar Removal and Reinstallation Services

EMT Solar is not just a solar contractor, the company also provides roofing services. Sometimes customers are reluctant to invest in solar because of possible damage or weakening of the roof. EMT Solar can repair or rebuild a roof before installation, but it can also do that after solar installation. EMT Solar will remove solar panels from the roof, perform adequate renovations and repairs, and then reinstall the solar panels.

EMT Solar is NABCEP certified for solar installations and the company is a GAF Certified Master Elite Contractor for roofing. With this roofing certification, EMT Solar can renovate roofs, gutters, trim, and siding. Under this certification, the new roof would have a transferable life-time warranty in the event that the home is sold. 

25-Year Solar Panel Life

EMT Solar claims that its panels are meant to last and perform for at least 25 years. The company installs Panasonic and Trina Solar panels. Both brands typically have a 25-year warranty on panels as well.

The Bad

  • Small Service Area

Small Service Area

Only residents of New Jersey and Pennsylvania can take advantage of EMT Solar’s services. The company is only licensed to contract business in these two states. This limits the amount of customers that can use EMT Solar.

The Bottom Line

For residents in New Jersey or Pennsylvania, EMT Solar and Roofing could be a great option for solar installation; particularly for customers that are also needing work done on their roof. With certifications, top of industry products, and positive reviews, EMT Solar is likely a reliable company for solar installation.

Gabriel O Barbero North Brunswick, NJ

A spart of the install, I had to upgrade my electrical panel. The electrician that came out not only butchered the wall where the panel was mounted, but inadvertently cut through 80% of the strands of a cable he stripped and tapped into a 50A breaker. This cost me close to $6000 to replace a furnace and AC unit that we thought was faulty because it kept tripping the breaker. When the new system was still tripping the breaker, the installer discovered it was the electrician's poor workmanship that was causing the breaker to trip due to overheating every time the AC kicked on. The installer re-stripped the cable, reinserted it and I had a working AC. The next issue I experienced was my solar panels stopped producing energy. It appears a wire overheated and burned to a crisp between my electrical panel and the solar system's panel rendering it useless. A couple of electricians came out within a few days, and I was back online for a few weeks before the system stopped producing energy for a second time. I currently have a 2-week wait before someone can come out to look at it and figure out what went wrong this time around. Very disappointed with the entire experience.

Our experience was great! EMT answered all of our questions, several times (a lot of info to digest) and was very friendly. Their inspector was also very friendly. We required a new roof, it was 26 years old, and needed it. EMT Roofing was comparable to many local contractors. They replaced the roof quickly and did a better job than the original builder! The solar install went just as easy, their team was fast and professional. As a former builder/contractor, I know good work! I recommend EMT to all.

Can you please provide a few examples and who your sales rep was for your install? We'd like to follow up with training to make sure this doesn't happen in the future. In the meantime, are there any concerns I can assist with?

J P Philadelphia, PA

Absolutely terrible customer sales experience! We spoke to the sales rep who asked us to send the last 12 months of electric bills. We did that immediately. He was late for numerous follow-up calls, and then, when we requested a detailed proposal, he provided us with the same ambiguous document he presented on our first meeting. The lack of professionalism and respect for the customer was incomprehensible. I would absolutely NEVER EVER do business with this firm if their sales representatives are indicative of their performance.

I'm glad you had a great experience. Unfortunately, the waiting period is typically due to the specific city/town for approvals which we have no control over once it's in their hands.

Is your solar panel system fully functioning? While you will still receive an electric bill, it should only be a small delivery fee. If it's more than that, you should reach out to your sales rep to assure everything is working properly.

That doesn't seem right. Please reach out to your sales rep so they can assure everything is working the way it's supposed to right now. There's no way there isn't a difference in your electric bill if your solar panel system is connected and running.
