Pat & Fran

SunBug designed a 3.15 kW system for Pat and Fran to fit their need and budget. The panels and inverter are made in Massachusetts - both increasing their rebate amount and keeping the project local.

 ”When Pat and I started our journey to become “energy producers” our research led us to SunBug Solar. Pat and I decided to go with SunBug after our initial visit and we have not been disappointed.  Their proposal was clearly worded, the financial implications were simply laid out and the system design made total sense to us.  The subsequent installation, their follow up support and the connection with SRECTrade were all made easy.  Most importantly, the system has delivered the generation capacity as SunBug projected.”

Peter

When Peter set out to go solar he had three goals: to produce a portion of his electricity from a renewable source, to do his part in reducing his family’s carbon footprint, and to set an example for his community.
 
"SunBug Solar turned out to be an excellent outfit.  Knowledgeable & diplomatic - key to getting the project approved by Brookline's Historic Commission (mine is the first solar roof approved in a historic district). Sunbug guided me through the tax breaks and SREC  process.  The installers were excellent--knowledgeable, reliable and friendly.  The cost was exactly as quoted.”

“From kids to older folks the construction of our solar roof has evoked positive responses.  One child is using our roof for a science project while another passer-by turned out to be a retired MIT professor who explained to me the  chemical basis for conversion of the sun's energy to electricity.”

Erin & Peter

As a child Erin was exposed to solar by her inventive grandfather, so when she and her husband Peter set out to install solar on their home she had a plan in mind.  Their 7.22 kW PV system and domestic hot water system is well sized for their growing family.

“My grandfather was a believer in solar energy in the 70's and had panels shipped from Israel to heat the water in our summer house.  He was a mechanical engineer and was always "inventing" things that made the house run in efficient ways.  When he passed away three years ago I knew exactly how I wanted to honor him.  Sunbug helped us to put up the latest technology right where Papa can see it - in the sunshine!”

Steve

“I am so happy with their work I just had SunBug add 10 additional panels.”

Steve Abbott’s first plunge into solar was with a 9kW system.  After diving in and learning more about the SREC program, he had SunBug expand his system to cover his remaining roof, bring ing his system to over 11kW.

“Whereas most contractors don’t seem to care about the relationship, these guys seem to nurture it.  I have to say this is one of the few experiences I have had with a contractor where they have outperformed my expectations.”

“The performance of the system has been probably a little better then they had indicated. My electric bill last month was $10.  And this was during a month when we did not have a lot of very sunny days. While it is difficult to make direct comparisons due to variations in weather, temperature, etc. I can tell you that the bill for the same period a year ago was $210.”
