Steve and Mary Hildebrand
We are so happy with our solar system. Our new home is not yet complete, but every bit of the solar installation has been great. Penobscot Solar also connected us with an electrician who understands solar use and who has also been super to work with. Daryl DeJoy, owner of Penobscot Solar, recommended appliances that are just right for our system and went over the planning of the system with us so that we understood exactly what we would need to have all the comforts we wanted. Our system delivers 100% of power by 10am almost everyday. We love our Amica refrigerator and Staber washing machine and look forward to installing our SunDanzer freezer next week. Everything our home sweet home could need. We highly recommend Daryl and Stu for their professionalism and smooth installation skills. One could not find a better company to work with.<br />When we decided to build a home we decided that we would like to be off the grid. We have friends who have an off-grid home and we simply asked them who did the work. They recommended Penobscot Solar and we were on our way. We really chose to go with solar power because we think chip fossil fuels are on the way out and we wanted to not be dependent upon fossil fuel to provide our electricity. We are so happy that Penobscot Solar is in our area. Daryl and Stu have become more than contractors for us, we use them for advice on where to purchase the items we want in our home from local suppliers. We wish that the state of Maine had a rebate incentive for our installation. In Maine, you only get a rebate if you are tied in to the grid. That just doesn`t fit our plan. Are we missing out on any other programs? We`d love to know about them. We think everyone should be thinking about going solar and we are always talking to people who have an interest. We`ve had so many people visit our house just to see what it might look like for them and we are always pleased to give the tour.
