I would highly recommend Avid Solar. Russ installed our solar panels six years ago; they have produced the power that was expected and they still look great. Avid Solar also provides excellent service. Last month Russ emailed me to tell me that a conductor had stopped working on my system and it was covered by the warranty. He offered to come by soon to install it at no cost to us, which he did, and it was wonderful to see him.

BUYER BEWARE. We are New England Solar Agency, an unbiased company that helps our customers find the best solutions available to them. We set them up directly with independent Solar companies who will provide installation and service. We met with Russ Aney back in 2016 and believed him to be very knowledgeable and trustworthy. After a very short honeymoon period, we quickly learned of the con artist that he was. He was outstanding up until the contract signings. After that, he was extremely difficult to communicate with and would not follow up on his promises. We moved on from him many years ago and have installed over 200 systems in Massachusetts since. I am writing this review because unfortunately our past relationship has reared it's ugly head. Two customers who we referred to him for installations have called us recently for advice because they are having issues with him. He is ghosting them, so they are reaching out to us for help. We do not have a working relationship with Russ (Avid Solar) because we had to win a judgement in court to get him to meet his obligations. Russ seems like a nice enough guy when you meet him but don't be fooled by your first impression and the positive reviews. I have over 40 years of business experience and consider myself a pretty good judge of character and I learned very quickly the type of person that Russ is. I only wish I picked up on it before I referred a few customers his way. There are many good and honest solar companies out there. RUN from Avid Solar and Russ Aney.

Our solar panels were installed by Next Step Living but the company abruptly went out of business and left its customers in limbo. After seeking out help from several providers I was fortunate to have found Russ (Avid Solar). He helped us get our panels working to maximum capacity and he spent hours troubleshooting and getting to know our system. He was honest, efficient and his bill was very reasonable. We were so pleased that he is now monitoring our system and he recently helped us get back on line after a technical issue. I would highly recommend him.

The BEST! After consulting with 7 Solar Firms, I chose Avid Solar. Russ Aney had the expertise and qualifications for a superior installation. My goal was to have a Zero Net Energy Home and Russ helped me to reach this goal. My electric bill has been ZERO since last April! This includes heating, cooling, hot water and all electric appliances etc.I highly recommend Avid Solar to meet your needs. He will walk you through the entire process and keep you informed.

From the beginning, Avid Solar outshone the competition. Russ Aney was knowledgeable and friendly and he educated me about solar power. His team has outdone themselves in service and support. I am proud to have gone local in my journey to solar power. The national companies just can't touch Avid Solar.

Avid Solar has done an excellent job of walking us through the process. They don't hard-sell, and Russ also is an advocate for solar energy, and he consults on policy. Great company and a great product!

Russ fielded a call I had about installing solar on a client's project. He was extremely knowledgeable and provide a lot of valuable information to me. He gave a candid response that I really appreciated. I hope to work with Avid Solar and Russ in the future.
