Why go solar?
Why choose us for solar?
We're the roofing & solar experts
We understand solar panels are essentially foreign objects on your roof
The #1 complaint from homeowners who hire a solar panel company to install their system is leaks.
Blend your roof with solar
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 integrate the Solar PV System.
Why you need solar panels in 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 Massachusetts tax incentives when installing a solar panel system, including a state income tax credit of 15% of the cost, up to $1,000. Also known as ITC, the federal income tax credit, which was equal to 30% of the total cost of the solar panel system, ended for systems installed after December 31, 2025.

A roofer’s eye
We always wait for the green light
- 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 30% federal solar tax credit still available?
No. The federal income tax credit, which was equal to 30% of the total cost of a solar panel system, ended for systems installed after December 31, 2025. Massachusetts still offers a state income tax credit of 15% of the cost, up to $1,000, and you can still enroll in the MA SMART 3.0 Program. We walk you through every incentive that applies to your home during the free assessment.
Why hire a roofer to install solar?
Because leaks are the #1 complaint of solar panel customers, and our team approaches each solar panel installation project with a roofer's eye. We make sure your roof can handle the weight of the panels and the added weight of the snow. We offer both services in-house, so you get ONE point of contact, ONE warranty, ONE crew and ONE project.
Do you handle permits and the utility interconnection?
Yes. Once the final contract is signed, there is nothing left for you to do. Our team obtains the roof, solar and electrical permits and applies for the utility interconnection, which can take 2-4 weeks. After installation, we schedule the inspections with your local municipality and request permission to operate, which usually takes another 2-4 weeks.
What do you need from me to start a solar quote?
Your electricity usage from recent months, ideally up to 12 months of data, so we can account for seasonal fluctuations. If you move forward, we'll also collect your meter number, account number and contact information to get approval from the utility company. Let us know about future plans like central air conditioning, a pool pump or an electric vehicle, so we can plan for your future electrical needs.
Can I finance solar with Golden Group?
Yes. You can pay $0 down with 0% APR for 6 months, no interest, no payments, on roof, solar or siding. Financing is subject to lender approval. Extended payment plans are also available, so ask about options when you get your estimate.
What happens on solar installation day?
Our roofing crew, solar crew and electricians work together, and the electrician will need access to the interior of your home. We handle the dumpster rental and portapotty for the crew, so you and your family will be undisturbed. When the work is done, our onsite manager reviews the entire system with you and our crew performs a meticulous clean up.
