Ridgewood, NJ Solar Energy Solutions:

Ridgewood has always been one of those towns where solar is embraced almost more than we could have ever expected. Residents here are very open and inviting to the idea of clean energy with the added benefit of reducing some of their electric expenses. It is a very high property tax area in Bergen County so homeowners are receptive to helping reduce any expenses. Especially ones as high as utility can be.

Lower Utility (Electric) Bill

We will design a system that can bring your current electric bill as close to zero as possible. Please understand that how close to zero your electric bill gets is dependent on many factors like your roof space, sun exposure, preferred panel placement and the amount of electricity you use. We will work on a plan together to achieve this goal.

Lock in Rate

The right solar program can simply replace your current utility provider’s electric bill with a lower electric expense and a fixed rate. Homeowners who choose this are typically doing this less for the immediate savings but more for the protection from utility rate increases and utility provider shenanigans. It is a fantastic shield against inflation and the inevitable price increase on the most in-demand commodity in the world.

Increase Home Desirability

If this is your goal, we have a program and solution for you. Typically homeowners that want to achieve increasing their potential home value and attractiveness will opt in to programs that might see a quicker return on their investment. The question, will solar raise my home value, is a controversial one. Will it guarantee the new buyer will pay more for your home? Of course not, but neither does a brand new $80,000 kitchen or an in-ground pool.

Reduce Carbon Footprint

No matter how you go solar, reducing your carbon footprint is a natural symptom of installing solar. If this is the primary goal, the energy consultant would discuss a few different ways to achieve this by learning about your current situation with your utility provider and your financial situation.

Electric Bill Budgeting

Some folks just want some predictability and certainty in their life. Whether it’s because they are retired or are approaching retirement and want fixed, not fluctuating electric costs, or because they prefer to budget for the future. Whatever the reason, If this is important to you, we would be happy to discuss how solar can help with budgeting for electric costs.

Power Outage Protection

“Should I get a battery or a generator?” “How much is a solar battery?” “Are there incentives for storage for solar?” These are some of the questions that we are asked by an individual who is planning for the worse. You never know how long a blackout will last. If this is a priority for you, our solar experts can help you in figuring this out and guide you along the right path.

  Arvin made the confusing world of solar energy easy to understand. He patiently explained our options, including the pros and cons of enrolling in SunPower’s PPA plan or purchasing the solar panels ourselves. He also remained available to answer any follow up questions we had after our agreement was signed. Arvin is someone that prioritizes customer service and satisfaction over simply making a sale. I recommend that anyone considering solar energy for their homes work with him.

UPDATES:
After signing the contract, the process was very smooth, it took us less than a month from start to finish, including installation, inspection, activation, etc. We are very pleased with the whole process, Arvin was very helpful even after he got his deal. He still checks in with me periodically. We are very happy with our choice, it was very exciting to see the production and the savings!

  Brian Sidle has gone above and beyond to help us with our solar panels and a remove and install that we had to do unexpectedly. He was quick to answer all of our questions and to solve any problems we had. We are extremely grateful for all that he has done. Anyone that works with him can tell that he truly cares about the company and his customers. Thank you Brian!

  Brian Sidle was our rep in regards to beginning the process of going solar. Every single step of the process he was involved in was just that much more pleasant & went that much smoother than we could have hoped for or expected. He is a consummate professional & not only worked with us as far as our scheduling but also other family issues & constraints we faced during this process. He made the decision to move forward extremely easy on us & we felt properly informed & educated as to all our options. Unfortunately, even though we did decide to move forward in getting solar our house did not meet the roofing standards to continue with solar. However if it had qualified we wouldn't have moved forward without Brian's involvement & would absolutely recommend him to anyone thinking about solar energy.

  We have installed the solar panel and activated it finally! The whole process was faster than the timeline we were notified in the beginning. Arvin is very knowledgeable and patient with us as we asked so many questions! He spent hours on our first meeting to give all necessary information and estimates on savings. Initially, we were just trying to understand the solar system and get to know better about the installation/savings for later, but there was no reason to wait for later! Arvin prepared the pages of the slide deck on our first meeting, including the virtual expected look of the roof after the solar panel. Arvin's explanation/knowledge definitely helped our decision. During the whole process, there was not much we needed to take care of since Arvin communicated with the installing/utilitu companies, and the twon application was also taken care of. We are very happy with the solar system and encouraging our friends to have them! :) Thank you Arvin!

  Arvin came to my house and explained everything related to going solar, with a full honesty. Even though I had my research beforehand, he pointed useful tips and facts that I didn’t know. I don’t know if I will purchase from Sunpower but I already give 5-star to his knowledge and kindness.

  Arvin was incredibly helpful in walking us through the benefits and intricacies of getting solar panels installed through SunPower. He was incredibly knowledgable and answered every question that we had with great patience and empathy.

While I ultimately did not move forward with installation due to timing with other areas in my life, I am keeping Arvin’s contact info handy for when the time is right - which should speak volumes on his character and service!
