Testimonials

All aspects of the project were handled very well, especially the help provided when severe weather delayed the final steps. Your people were extremely supportive and efficient on getting us in under the wire. The cost of our system will be more than offset by our reduced electric bills, and we are thrilled to play our part in reducing carbon footprints. I would recommend Newport Solar without hesitation.
