In March 2025, Solaris Renewables began composing case studies that feature our customers and their solar success stories. Below shows the eight case studies that we compiled during this time. We will be adding new case studies to our Case Studies page every month, so keep an eye out for more solar and battery storage content there. Enjoy!
Gloucester, MA Solar Case Study
In 2020, Solaris Renewables installed a 11.1 kW solar system with two Tesla Powerwall 2 batteries at Randy’s home in Gloucester, MA. Motivated by high electricity bills and frequent power outages, especially after purchasing an electric vehicle in 2019, Randy sought energy independence. The system now consistently produces more electricity than his household consumes, resulting in net metering credits and eliminating his electricity bills. Additionally, the battery storage provides reliable backup power during outages. Click here to read the full case study.
Andover, MA Solar Case Study
Solaris Renewables installed a nearly 9kW solar system with a 10kW battery for a home in Andover, MA. The tech-savvy homeowners wanted energy savings and backup power. Despite roof challenges and strict fire codes, Solaris designed an efficient system covering 81% of the home’s energy use. The project included electrical upgrades and siding repairs. With incentives and tax credits, the system’s payback period is about seven years! Click here to read the full case study.
Medford, MA Solar Case Study
In 2022, Solaris Renewables upgraded a Colonial home in Medford, MA, to address rising energy costs from new heat pumps. The project included installing 31 Solaria 400-watt panels, two 10-kWh SolarEdge batteries, and a SPAN smart panel for enhanced energy management. Coordinated with a roof replacement, the system now offsets 100% of the home’s energy use, saving approximately $443 monthly and projecting over $140,000 in savings over 25 years.

Waltham, MA Solar Case Study
In Waltham, MA, Solaris Renewables installed 19 Solaria 400-watt panels with a 7.6-kilowatt inverter on a south-facing colonial home. The design addressed a minor roof obstruction and prioritized preserving roof integrity. The system offsets 140% of the household’s annual energy consumption, reducing monthly electric bills from approximately $137 to $0 and accommodating future energy needs like electric vehicles.

Burlington, MA Solar Case Study
In Burlington, Massachusetts, Solaris Renewables expanded a Craftsman Cape home’s solar capacity during a major renovation. The project involved removing part of the existing solar array due to construction and installing a new 11.2-kilowatt system with 29 panels on the rear addition’s east and west sides. This upgrade increased energy production to over 10,000 kilowatt-hours annually, resulting in monthly savings exceeding $380 and offsetting more than 35,000 pounds of carbon dioxide within a year and a half.

Arlington, MA Solar Case Study
In Arlington, Massachusetts, Solaris Renewables upgraded a Craftsman bungalow’s solar system during a major home addition. The project involved integrating a new 26-panel, 7.6-kilowatt system with the existing solar setup to meet increased energy demands, including future electric vehicle (EV) and heat pump use. This installation reduced the homeowners’ average monthly electric bill from approximately $207 to $0, with the system producing around 10,600 kilowatt-hours in its first year.

Amesbury, MA Solar Case Study
In 2017, Solaris Renewables installed a 23-panel, 7.6-kilowatt solar system on a modern barn in Amesbury, Massachusetts. After removing an oak tree that was shading the roof to enhance solar access, the system was designed to offset about 98% of the homeowners’ annual energy consumption. The installation reduced their average monthly electric bill from $213 to $0, with savings increasing over time due to rising electricity rates. Additionally, the family benefited from over $18,000 in Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) and a nearly $13,000 tax credit. Eight years post-installation, the system continues to produce over 10,000 kilowatt-hours annually, demonstrating its long-term performance. Click here to read the full case study.
Portsmouth, NH Solar Case Study
Ed and Bernice from Portsmouth, NH, initially considered a solar lease but decided to purchase a system instead. After thorough research and consultations, they chose Solaris Renewables for the installation. The project involved obtaining necessary building and electrical permits and approvals, with some delays due to unforeseen circumstances from the City of Portsmouth. Despite these challenges, the system was successfully installed and is now operational and thriving. Click here to read the full case study.
