We love the reviews we get from our customers, so much so that we have been turning them into Customer Spotlights! Here is a Google review from Tapani R. of Medford.
Before we dive in, here’s a quick overview of the basics of the project:
Customer: Tapani R.
Location: Medford, Massachusetts
System Size: 14-panel rooftop solar system
Solar Panels: 400-watt Solaria PowerXT
Project Focus: Overcoming architectural limitations with custom solar design
When Tapani Ronni began his search for a solar provider in Medford, MA, he had a clear vision in mind: he wanted a solar system that could lower his carbon footprint and energy costs, without compromising the integrity or aesthetic of his unique roofline. His home presented a particular challenge, with limited uninterrupted roof space and structural features that made traditional layouts difficult.
Many installers might have viewed the project as too complicated. But at Solaris Renewables, custom solar solutions are where we shine best. We truly love a challenge and helping homeowners go solar when other companies told them they couldn’t!
After a comprehensive site assessment and digital modeling using Aurora, the Solaris design and engineering team developed a strategy to fit 14 solar panels onto the Medford home’s roof—carefully working around obstructions and odd angles to ensure maximum sun exposure and compliance with all local and state building codes. The Solaris team (specifically Lou, our Permit Coordinator) also managed all permitting and utility coordination, ensuring that every step of the process was seamless for the homeowner.
“The whole process was smooth and the price was competitive,” Tapani shared in his review. “Solaris planned and installed our new solar system. Despite a difficult roofline, they were able to fit 14 panels on the roof while following all the codes. The system works perfectly! Highly recommended.”
Beyond Solaris’s technical precision, Tapani highlighted the customer experience as a key differentiator. From the first solar consultation with one of our Project Developers to the final walkthrough, the Solaris team communicated clearly, delivered on every promise, and left the site clean like they were never there. Tapani now enjoys a high-performing solar system that blends beautifully with his Medford home and provides reliable green energy every day.
This project is a great example of how Solaris tailors each installation to the needs of the home, not the other way around. Whether the challenge is a complex roofline, shading issues, or strict permitting requirements, Solaris brings the expertise and creativity to get the job done right. It’s something we genuinely enjoy doing.
Thinking about solar but unsure if your roof is a good fit? Tapani’s story shows that even complex homes can benefit from clean energy when you have the right partner. Contact Solaris Renewables today to schedule a free consultation and custom site assessment.
