SunCommon selects the best solar equipment on the market for quality, performance, longevity and warranty.

We strive to partner with local companies that share our values, but not at the expense of quality. The companies we work with are an important part of who we are and must meet our high standards so we can better protect our customers. 

The three things we keep in mind when selecting our solar partners are:

  • Can their equipment withstand Northeast weather and climate for years to come?
  • Are they strong and reliable enough to honor their warranties?
  • Is the company local, U.S. based, or are they mission-driven in a way that aligns with our own?

Mitsubishi Heat Pumps

Solar heating and cooling is quiet and comfortable. This Energy Star smart technology keeps your home consistently warm and cozy through the winter — and dry and cool all summer long. It’s clean since allergens and dust are filtered out as the heated or cooled air is circulated in the house. Heat pumps have been around for a long time, but we haven’t used them up north because they weren’t cold-climate rated. Now, our Mitsubishi model is rated to function as low as -18 degrees to keep you warm on the coldest nights—and keep you cool with guilt-free, solar-powered air conditioning on hot, muggy summer nights.

New Energy Works

New Energy Works provides us with the gorgeous timber framing for our unique Solar Canopy. Each timber beam is sculpted with handheld tools, ensuring a meticulously crafted final product. The beams are crafted out of Douglas Fir timber that is found within the region of the Pacific Northwest. All of the products that New Energy Works constructs are manufactured in a building that is powered by solar power, and heated from their excess wood scraps. Their efforts in fighting climate change is one of the driving factors behind our work with them. Their strategic work allows SunCommon to provide our customers with an additional alternative to transition to solar power. Similar to SunCommon, New Energy Works operates on a triple bottom line ensuring that people, planet, and profit are equally important. Together, we are working towards the common goal of cleaning up the environment for the future generations.

I was very, very satisfied with the entire process. The install went smoothly and the crew was friendly. As someone who works in the business, I can say the work was of great quality. When an issue was brought up, the crew was responsive and is going to take care of it.
Seth Morrisette, RichmondSolar since 2015
We had our heat pump installed today. I want to mention that the installers were great, and the heat pump is fantastic!
Eric, Fairfax Solar since 2014.
The people at SunCommon made the process so understandable and transparent I felt no qualms about proceeding. The actual site evaluation and installation was nearly magical – things happened on time, quickly, and with less fuss and muss than I could ever have imagined. The results are all that I hoped for. I couldn’t recommend this organization and the wonderful people I met through it more strongly. I am glad I chose to work with SunCommon.
Hilary Hatch, Leicester Solar since 2014
