Free Summit Energy Solar Quote

If you would like to get an idea of what going solar could cost with Summit Energy, you can quickly and easily get a free quote on the company’s website. You’ll be asked to provide your postal code and address to see if your roof is good for solar, as well as your current average electric bill payment. With this information, Summit Energy will be able to provide you with a solar estimate.

Summit Energy No Cost Solar Program

Summit Energy understands that solar installation can be expensive — the average solar system installation in the United States costs $15,000 to $25,000. To combat high upfront costs, Summit Energy offers a No Cost Solar Program. The program is a power purchase agreement (PPA) that eliminates upfront costs on your solar panel installation. 

With a Summit Energy PPA plan you’re responsible only for the cost of the energy produced by the panels, which will typically be at a much lower rate than what you’re currently paying for electricity.

SolarInsure Advantage Warranty

Summit Energy offers protection for your solar investment through the SolarInsure Advantage Warranty program. This program features the following:

• Extension beyond manufacturer’s warranty and assumption of up to 100% of solar array risk for all mechanical and electrical failures due to normal use
• $0 cost or deductible for installation, replacement, or removal of new panels and inverters
• Solar manufacturer warranty default backed by an AM Best Rated A+ insurance carrier
  30 year monitoring and warranty coverage
• Enhanced roof warranty guarantees

There are not many solar installation companies that offer this same level of protection or the option to extend coverage. Generally, equipment warranties are provided only by the solar equipment manufacturer, so it is unique that Summit Energy offers protection beyond what the manufacturer provides. 

Solar warranties are typically 25 years in length and cover the cost to repair or replace faulty equipment, and the solar installation company itself will then offer workmanship warranties that protect against installation issues. The average warranty within the industry is 10 years. Thus, Summit Energy stands out by offering 30-year warranty coverage, far surpassing the industry average of 10 years and even the common 25 years included with many solar installations.

Solar Panel Installation Options

Summit Energy offers the following solar panel installation options:

• Roof solar installation — A low-maintenance, high-return option. Summit Energy will conduct a roof inspection to determine if this is the best option for your home.
• Ground solar installation — Requires more land and capital, but is safer to install and maintain, while easy to adjust for maximum power output.
• Pole mount solar installation — A type of ground solar installation ideal for inclined or unstable soil surfaces.
• SmartFlower solar installation — A proprietary ground solar installation by SmartFlower. The system consists of 12 “petals” on moving arms that open and close based on optimal sun exposure.

In most cases, a roof solar panel installation is the best option for residential properties, but if you’d like to explore other options, you can speak with a Summit Energy representative.

Trusted Partners and Solar Brands

Many solar installation companies will become a certified dealer or installer of one solar manufacturer’s equipment. Others will have partnerships with a few different solar equipment producers, in hopes of providing a cost effective system to each client. Summit Energy ensures that clients will receive a customized system at the best rate with its solar energy equipment partnerships.

Summit Energy Coverage Area

Summit Energy currently offers solar installation in the following states:

• Connecticut
• Maine
• Massachusetts
• New Hampshire

Solar has typically been viewed as a geographically limited service, meaning a vast majority of companies either provide services in one state or a select few identified cities. Solar companies that do expand into other states typically do so through a dealership program or grow business gradually in hopes of development across state lines. Summit Energy has taken its expansion seriously, not wasting any time to ensure that it can help as many prospective solar clients as possible.
