What customers say

Trusted by homeowners
who value quality.

“Teamsun was the only crew that walked the roof, named the panel brand, and answered every question without checking with someone. Same lead tech came back a year later when I added a battery.”
Robert P. Homeowner · Glastonbury, CT
“Three of my neighbors had Teamsun, so I called them. The crew was on my street five days after I signed.”
David L. Homeowner · West Hartford, CT
“They knew the historic district secretary by first name. Saved us six weeks on permitting alone.”
The Hwang family Homeowners · Glastonbury, CT
“Same lead tech who installed it came back four years later to swap an inverter under warranty. No charge, no excuses.”

South Portland FAQ

Questions South Portland homeowners ask.

How much does solar cost in South Portland?

A typical 8 – 12 kW residential install in South Portland runs $25,000 – $40,000 before incentives. Residential ITC no longer applies in New England, but with high regional energy costs and Maine state programs, effective residential costs still land 30 – 50% lower over the first five years. Commercial systems also stack up to 40% federal ITC. We model your specific roof in Aurora using Central Maine Power rate data.

Does Teamsun install in my South Portland neighborhood?

Yes — we work across Ferry Village, Willard Beach, Thornton Heights, Cash Corner and surrounding South Portland ZIPs. 90+ South Portland homes already have a Teamsun system. The crew dispatches from our Bristol, CT office.

How long does the install take in South Portland?

47 days on average from signed contract to a working system, including South Portland permitting and Central Maine Power interconnection. The on-roof portion is typically just one day. We file every form on your behalf.

What incentives can I claim as a South Portland homeowner?

Maine net metering (CMP or Versant), Efficiency Maine heat-pump and weatherization stack-ons where eligible, and commercial systems can still claim up to 40% federal ITC. We model your utility tariff on every proposal. Teamsun files every form with you — commercial federal ITC paperwork is handed to your CPA, state and utility paperwork we submit on your behalf as part of the install.

Do you use subcontractors on South Portland installs?

No. Every Teamsun install — in South Portland and across our entire CT, MA, and RI service area — is done by W-2 employees on our payroll. The lead tech who walks your roof at the site visit is the same lead tech who installs your system.

What if my South Portland home has an older roof?

If your roof is over 12 years from end-of-life, we strongly recommend our solar + roofing bundle — re-roof and install solar on the same timeline. South Portland's housing stock makes this a common scenario; we have the crew and process for it.

Can I add a battery to existing solar in South Portland?

Yes — see our battery retrofit service. Maine net metering and Efficiency Maine stack-ons accept retrofitted batteries on existing solar. Most national installers refuse this work; we built a team around it.

Are you licensed to do work in South Portland?

Yes — Teamsun is licensed in Maine (and ME, NH, VT, FL for project work on request). License numbers, NABCEP certification, and BBB profile are all available on every quote and contract.
