• Family-Owned Company
• “Top 500 Solar Contractor”
• Extended Warranties

Family-Owned Company

Matt Arner is the founder and current president of SolarFlair Energy. He has worked in the solar industry for nearly 20 years and was one of the first people in Massachusetts to power his home with solar power. Before starting SolarFlair, Arner worked at Heliotronics, where he helped to develop over 150 solar installations and educational displays at MIT, Harvard, and 15 other schools. Arner is now focused on expanding SolarFlair, which has been growing at a steady rate for the past eight years.

“Top 500 Solar Contractor”

SolarFlair Energy has been named a “Top 500 Solar Contractor” by Solar Power World every year from 2014 to 2017 and in 2021 — when the solar provider has installed more than 3 megawatts of clean, renewable energy throughout Massachusetts.

Extended Warranties

SolarFlair offers a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers materials and labor. The company also offers extended warranties that customers have the option to purchase on top of the standard manufacturer warranties that come with the equipment, which vary from 10 to 25 years.

• Not NABCEP Certified
• Customer Criticisms
• Small Service Area

Not NABCEP Certified

SolarFlair has not been certified by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP), one of the most well-regarded certification organizations in the solar industry. NABCEP-certified status indicates to customers that a company employs highly trained solar professionals that employ industry leading solar installation practices.

The lack of NABCEP certification should not disqualify SolarFlair from consideration; however, this industry endorsement may make the difference for homeowners considering multiple solar providers.

Customer Criticisms

Although the handful of verified SolarFlair reviews posted to Best Company, some customer criticisms remain. Current and former SolarFlair customers have mentioned issues like solar installation delays, higher than expected prices, and pushy sales tactics as reasons why they couldn’t fully recommend SolarFlair. If you have worked with SolarFlair to install a solar energy system for your home, we invite you to add your experience to the existing SolarFlair reviews listed below.

Small Service Area

SolarFlair’s service area begins and ends in Massachusetts. While customers living in this narrow service area will benefit from SolarFlair’s local expertise, solar companies with a broader, multi-state reach may be able to provide them with a wider selection of solar products and packages, more variable pricing, and a more standardized installation process.
