Great communication, set good expectations for the timeline, established clear responsibilities, patiently answered all of our questions, and performed professional installation.

Neil Kelly-Solar Energy is very attentive to the customer whenever the customer contacts them regarding issues.

Very professional service start to finish

If asked I would.

The team was great, and the system is working perfectly. The timeline was quite a bit longer than I expected, mostly due to factors beyond our control (utility, city, supply chain), but communication was sometimes a little slow or confused.

They are a well established company that I feel confident will be around if there is ever an issue.

The NK team were great, they did excellent work, cleaned up everything perfectly when they were done, and the system is working nicely.

We have 2 families interested in Neil-Kelly Solar. If they have more questions, we will refer them to you.

Great Team, very knowledgeable and professional

The solution was great and the service throughout was realistic and helpful.

Everyone involved in the project was helpful and kind, and very good at providing information and answering questions.

No high-pressure sales tactics, and consultant Jo Blinman built a customized system that fit my needs.

Everyone that I worked with were professional, friendly, and great!

I felt that the company was an entity that we could trust to do a very exacting job with the best materials available. I could tell that the team installing the components had the necessary experience to complete the job correctly and on time.

I would like to point out that Mike, our project manager, is a credit to Neil Kelly and was a pleasure to work with. I would invite him into my home anytime. Kudos to you Mike.

Thanks to everyone involved with our solar project.

The quality of the work they did was top of the line. It was great.

timing to schedule the work; team had difficulty committing to dead lines; better care when working in the attic

I already have recommended them to anyone who’ll listen!

We had a 12 year old undersized solar array that we were unable to add to and had developed a leak in the roof under it. Niel Kelly was able to remove the old array, fix the roof, and put in a new larger and more efficient solar system in about three days. They were also able to decommission the old array in such a way we could put the old panels in storage so they could be used again by other family members. Their designers and installers were great to work with in that they were quite responsive to all our questions and ideas. All in all, quite happy with the end result. By the way, the final product generated as much in 10 days as our old system did in an entire month for the same month last year.

They have a good warranty and are an established company in the community that doesn't seem to be going anywhere tomorrow. However, the communications between their staff and with us are lacking or difficult. Today, for example, it has taken multiple attempts to schedule a close-out meeting with their staff.
Today, an hour and a half before that meeting, they called to say they wouldn't be able to make it, and it would have to be rescheduled. There have been a lot of things like that. It has just been hard to get timely and accurate communication from them and between them.

We were completely delighted with our experience with the Neil Kelly Solar Team. They were very professional, smart, reliable and all around lovely people.

5 stars for the actual work! But there were communication issues and NK damaged our neighbor's house without telling us. NK hasn't repaired their house yet even though it's been more than 2 months since it happened.

Knowing that Tom Kelly had his company put panels on his own floating home helped us decide who to choose. We figured that the team had to do the best for the boss, so that was good enough for us! We know the team can do good work!

They listened to my concerns, and wants, and addressed them professionally.

The Neil Kelly solar team was knowledgeable, communicative, and highly professional on site and off. They hit their timelines, kept us informed throughout the process, and we're enjoying excellent performance from the PV system they installed.

Neil Kelly did a great job from start to finish. We are very satisfied with our solar installation and confident that if we have any future problems, they will help us solve them.

It was a good experience. I thought it was done very well.

NK installed our solar panels four years ago, and this year installed a storage battery. We never knew it when the neighborhood grid failed for two hours last week. It was seamless for us!

Despite some minor communication issues we were very happy with the work done

Every single person I interacted with from Neil Kelly Solar was professional, knowledgable, and courteous. I have done a number of remodeling projects on my home, and none of the other (many!) contractors I have worked with have come close to Neil Kelly's level of service and quality. I would absolutely call them for any additional work on my home—solar or otherwise—and would advise friends to do the same.

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - None!

Neil Kelly Solar team is pure excellence—from discussion to design and build to closing I felt like my project was handled with integrity and expertise. Now that my panels and battery wall are up and running, I trust that the team will continue to provide support should any problems arise (none expected!).
Their clear priority is client satisfaction.

Very easy to work with, fair price, friendly, competent employees. Overall a great experience!

Neil Kelly-Portland is just a top notch firm that is oriented toward the consumer all thru the process of our home solar installation.

Compared to past experiences, this job did not go smoothly. There was a misunderstanding about our solar system that took weeks to resolve and scheduling the work also took much longer than expected.

The whole team was friendly, professional & great at communicating about each phase of our solar battery installation. They consulted with me whenever there was a decision to be made about placement, design & location of equipment.

Neil Kelly installed our solar panels and EV charger. Throughout the entire process they were professional, communicative, on time, and nice.

Everything went smoothly.

Professional, knowlegable.

Neil Kelly-Portland are dependable and provide quality work. They finished in timely fashion, and provided high quality craftsmanship.

It was an overall good experience.

Strong project management and reliable responsiveness.

I would absolutely recommend Neil Kelly to friends, and already have.

Neil Kelly is the most well-organized company I've worked with in this modern era. I'm 71, and in recent decades had given up hope that a competent company like Neil Kelly -- once the norm in this country -- even existed anymore. I am so delighted to know that Neil Kelly exists and that I could once again enjoy the experience of working with such a stellar company.

I've always been aware of Neil Kelly's excellent reputation. When Energy Trust designated them and two other companies for me to get bids from, it was clear during the bidding process that Neil Kelly was a great company and the other two were like most modern companies in their lack of follow-through, poor communication, disinterest in my questions and getting their answers right, and so on. Much to my surprise, their bids came in higher than Neil Kelly's. I had always thought that Neil Kelly, having such a good reputation for excellence, would cost more.

Employees are all exceptional. Every employee who worked on this project was absolutely fabulous in terms of knowledge, skills, communication, and especially their interpersonal skills. I am so impressed with Neil Kelly's ability to hire such impressive people. They were all a pleasure to work with.

I do mention that they were more expensive than our other bids, but the quality of product was much better rated. Also feel that NK is much more likely to be around through the years than other, younger companies.

The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that NK might be a bit more expensive for my friends.

While we did run into some issues during our solar project, I have no doubt that Neil Kelly handled the issues with better efficiency and understanding compared to other solar companies.

Very positive experience. There were no surprises.

Investing in solar is a complicated proposition for lay people like us. We chose Neil Kelly because they have been in town for many years and we can trust they will be here for many more should we need them again. They were professional from start to finish. We especially appreciated Jeff Poirier's help.

We have worked with Neil Kelly previously on a solar installation. They continued to deliver again on our next solar project, meeting all of our expectations. What a great company!

Neil Kelly did a great job installing my solar panels and back-up battery. They completed the project on a timely basis and were communicative and helpful in working through any remaining items after substantial completion of the project. Each of the staff members was professional, courteous, responsive and had the requisite expertise.

We hired Neil Kelly to replace our roof and install solar panels. They did an excellent job. Good communication. High quality work.
