Our Top Pick for Pelham

Editor's Choice — Pelham

Evergreen Solar

Pawtucket, Rhode Island

4.6
out of 5.0

<p>Evergreen Solar is our <strong>Editor's Choice</strong> pick for roof+solar bundles in New England. They created this category in the region, they've refined it over four years and hundreds of projects, and their quality standards are among the highest we've evaluated.</p> <p>The 4.9 Google rating across 300+ reviews is not marketing spin — it reflects a company that consistently delivers on its promises. In a space where roof replacements and solar installations can each generate significant customer frustration individually, Evergreen has demonstrated an ability to coordinate both simultaneously while maintaining near-perfect customer satisfaction.</p> <p>Evergreen uses Qcells panels — American-made in Dalton, Georgia — paired with Enphase microinverters and CertainTeed Landmark shingles installed by a ShingleMaster PREMIER certified contractor, which reflects a commitment to quality over cost-cutting. The SureStart PLUS 5-STAR warranty (50 years non-prorated, 30-year workmanship) and 25-year solar and workmanship warranties provide strong long-term protection for New England homeowners.</p> <p>The limitations worth noting: Evergreen's NH coverage is currently limited to the southern region, and NJ is a newer market for them — VT and ME homeowners will need to look elsewhere. Demand also means their installation calendar books up. If you're flexible on timing, that's not a concern. If you need installation by a specific date, discuss timeline early in your consultation.</p>

Pelham Home & Roof Profile

Understanding the local housing stock helps you assess your own home's solar suitability. Here's what's typical for Pelham:

Typical Home Age

Mix of 1970s–2000s colonials, ranch homes, and newer construction

Common Roof Types

  • Asphalt shingle (dominant)
  • Architectural shingles on newer homes

Roof + Solar Bundle advantage: Pelham's older homes often have roofs that are due for replacement. A roof + solar bundle replaces your aging roof and adds solar panels in a single project — avoiding the $3,000–$8,000 cost of removing and re-installing panels later when the roof fails. Our guide on how bundles work explains the full economics.

Frequently Asked Questions — Pelham Solar

Is Pelham served by Liberty Utilities or Eversource?

Pelham is served by Liberty Utilities, not Eversource. Liberty Utilities participates in New Hampshire's statewide net metering program, so Pelham homeowners receive the same 1:1 net metering credits as Eversource customers in neighboring towns. Your installer will handle the Liberty Utilities interconnection application as part of the standard installation process.

How does Pelham's border location benefit solar customers?

Pelham's location on the Massachusetts border gives homeowners access to installers from both states, creating competitive pricing. Additionally, New Hampshire's lack of sales tax provides an advantage over neighboring Massachusetts towns. The same experienced companies that serve Methuen and Dracut on the MA side also serve Pelham, ensuring deep market expertise.
