Marrying our expertise in roofing and solar and making us the best at what we do.

More importantly, we know how each component works with the other and do all we can to ensure they fit seamlessly together to result in a beautiful yet efficient, and most of all safe, roof.

Keep everything under one roof when you hire Golden Group Roofing to install both your roof and your solar panel system.

That means ONE point of contact, ONE warranty, ONE crew and ONE project.

Why go solar?

Most homeowners are looking to go solar, mainly for the energy savings. We’re a green company so we get it. But our team approaches solar panel installation from a roofer’s perspective, not a solar company’s. That means our top priority is to make sure those panels don’t become a leaking point – the #1 complaint of solar panel customers.

Our GAF Master Elite roofing installers make sure your roof can handle the weight of the panels and that you even qualify for receiving solar energy in the first place. We put your roof first – the way it should be.

Why choose us for solar?

You’ve heard about the energy savings you could enjoy if you go solar. You’ve done the preliminary research and spoken to your friends. Now it’s time to partner with a roofing company that you can trust to handle both sides of the installation: the roof and the solar panels. As far as we’re concerned, they go hand in hand.

Your roof is the first line of defense for your home. When it’s compromised, everything else inside is as well. That’s why it’s important to hire a roofing company that knows both roofs and solar panels. As you know, here in New England, snow storms, heavy rains, and high winds are commonplace. Your roof not only has to be able to handle the weight of the panels themselves, but also the added weight of the snow. It also has to be able to handle high winds and other weather events that can impact the integrity of your roof and lead to damage such as leaks.

We're the roofing & solar experts

We understand solar panels are essentially foreign objects on your roof

We know how it will react in an actual storm. Solar companies don’t do this, nor do they want to. They are more concerned with booking all the installation jobs they can than they are with post-installation issues. Bare-minimum quality check points: that’s what you get with a solar company. A “good enough” roof is all they’re looking for.

The #1 complaint from homeowners who hire a solar panel company to install their system is leaks.

When they call the company to come out and repair the damage they caused, the solar company is nowhere to be found. Now they have to hire a roofer to take off the panels, fix the damage, then reinstall the panels – all on their own dime. On top of that, the warranty is voided and they lose their tax credits.

When this happens, homeowners call us to fix the solar panel company’s mistake.

Why you need solar panels in Massachusetts

If you’re looking to save money on energy costs, you know solar panels are a great way to achieve that. There are many benefits of going solar in Massachusetts, even with the many cloudy, overcast and snowy days we get throughout the year.

Here’s why more and more homeowners are considering solar panel installation in our great state of Massachusetts.

Cost savings on energy bills

Exactly how much savings you experience will depend on electricity consumption, purchase vs. lease, size and angle of the roof, local electricity rates, how many direct hours of sunlight your home gets, and the size of your solar panel system.

Increased property value

Solar panels are considered upgrades just like finishing a basement or remodeling a kitchen, and as such add value to your home overall.

Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions

Each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of solar generated can greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions like CO2, and dangerous pollutants such as particulates, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides. Solar energy is a renewable energy source that uses little to no water.

Tax credits

You can qualify for government tax credits when installing a solar panel system. Also known as ITC, the federal income tax credit is available to Massachusetts residents and is equivalent to 30% of the total cost of your solar panel system.

When considering solar panel installation in Boston and beyond, trust your local roofer to handle the project for you. From start to finish, we make sure your system is installed according to the highest standards while protecting your roof and home.

A roofer’s eye

Our team approaches each solar panel installation project with a roofer’s eye. The integrity of your roof and the structure under it is our top concern. While we want you to benefit from solar panels, we want to make sure your roof can handle the added weight. That’s why when you call us for a consultation, we don’t just give you a quote over the phone. We come out to your home to inspect everything from the strength of the rafters to the possible need for a transformer upgrade on the street.

We always wait for the green light

Many solar companies, on the other hand, install the panels right away and they end up sitting there inactive for months at a time.

One roofer for both services is just a smart choice for any homeowner. Our team eliminates the risk of:

Leaks
Craftsmanship mistakes
Voided warranties

Compromised tax credits
Miscommunication

This is our competitive advantage.

We will assign you a project manager that’s specific to our solar division that ensures the process progresses seamlessly from the first phone call and proposal through system turn-on. Before we even get up on the roof to install panels, we pull permits and fill out the paperwork necessary to get the ball rolling on interconnection. This ensures that once the panels are in place, they can be activated much more quickly – by several months, in fact.
