Harvest Power Reviews

Harvest Power has installed thousands of solar energy systems since 2008. It’s a TAMKO Certified Contractor, Platinum Certified by UNIRAC and certified Tesla Powerwall installer. It partners with Enphase to provide solar panels and other equipment.

The company provides residential, commercial and community solar services.

• Residential solar: Harvest Power can install solar panels on almost any house. The panels can also be installed on your roof or other structures, including carports and trellises. Ground-mounted systems are also available.
• Commercial solar: The company installs solar panels and ground-mounted systems for commercial buildings. Businesses can reduce operating costs by lowering their electric bills, cashing in on the federal tax credit and improving public perception.
• Community solar: With community solar, one solar facility is shared between multiple users. Each pays for the right to get credits on their electric bills for a share of the power produced by the community solar farm. Businesses, homeowners and renters can benefit from community solar.

The typical residential solar panel installation by Harvest Power involves five stages:

1. Initial consultation: A Harvest Power consultant visits your home for an on-site evaluation. They assess your roof and electricity usage to determine if your house is a good candidate for a solar system. This introductory meeting lets you learn more about the company and ask questions before committing.
2. System design: If you move forward, Harvest Power creates a customized system design that maximizes potential energy savings. The team uses the latest solar technologies to match your home's needs.
3. Site survey: A technician inspects your roof and electrical systems more thoroughly. They take measurements and photographs to guide the engineering plans. This part usually takes less than an hour.
4. Permits and approvals: Harvest Power handles permitting paperwork on your behalf, submitting plans to local authorities and utilities for any required approvals. This administrative step involves no effort from the homeowner.
5. Installation: With permits in place, Harvest Power schedules a convenient installation date. It typically takes six to eight hours. Your solar array is then up and running, and you can start reducing your electricity expenses.

Residential solar panels generally cost anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 or more. The average solar panel installation in New York costs $19,176 before the federal solar investment tax credit (ITC). The price drops to $13,423 after ITC. The average cost to install solar panels in New Jersey is $19,390 ($13,573 after ITC).

How much you actually pay to go solar depends on the size of your system, the condition of your roof, what local incentives you can take advantage of, how you pay and other factors.
