Had a great experience with Virtue! They take care of absolutely everything you might need for the process, great people we couldn't be happier with how our roof turned out.

Mike Tarpey on Virtue Solar

Working with Virtue Solar was a total pleasure. They're fully informed on all federal/state/local regulations and do all the legwork of communicating with the power company + the local government for necessary approvals. All of my questions about the plan, from panel characteristics to warranty info, were answered by the time Peter left the house after the one hour initial consultation.

In total, it took the four-man crew about two full days of work to install 20 panels plus the box on the back of the house. Now six months after completing the installation, the panels are still working flawlessly and are covering over 100% of our power usage, with some extra juice going back to the grid and making the world a bit better. You can't beat a $0 power bill, and you can't beat Virtue Solar.

It was the right choice to select Virtue Solar for the installation of our solar panels. From the the pre-visit, to installation, to turning on the system, they answered all our questions and gave us expert guidance on choices. It is obvious that they care about the quality of their work and the quality of the equipment used. When we see examples of installations around town, we know Virtue was the best choice.

Andrew Payton on Virtue Solar

Working with Virtue Solar to install our 7.2 kW system was an excellent experience. They offered the lower (price per kW) of the two bids I received and were great about answering my questions and accurately setting my expectations. Their roof inspection also caught an issue that probably saved me a lot of money in the long run! Installation was a breeze, and the team was friendly, quick, and tidy. Highly recommended!
