Renewable Energy Equipment Exemption

While very few towns in Maine have any tax on solar electric systems now, this will most likely change now that legislation has passed for an exemption. This means that if the owner of a solar electric system for their home or business completes this form by April 1st, they will be exempt from any tax in their municipality for the year of the exemption request and henceforth.

If you are interested in purchasing or leasing an EV, you will need a charging station installed in your home. We are always available to consult on a potential EV charging station and solar array for your home.

We Made a New Friend on this Job

A turkey stands on a concrete ledge near a stack of panels that could soon become solar in Maine, with a building featuring gray siding in the background.

The Assured Solar team was hard at work this past summer designing and installing a wide variety of residential and commercial systems. Sometimes neighborhood critters are so friendly and curious about solar, they can’t help but see what the fuss is all about! On this particular day a wild turkey hung out to admire our team’s efficient and safe work, not to mention the top-of-the-line equipment!

Innovative Design of Residential System

At Assured Solar Energy, we are always testing and vetting new technologies to increase the efficiency of energy production in our installations. On a recent residential installation in Freeport, near Wolf’s Neck Farm, we had the opportunity to install EIQ Vboost 700 power optimizers.

Assured Solar Energy’s experienced design and installation team has no trouble completing residential systems like this beautiful 12.76 kW (Kilowatt) array both thoroughly and with time to spare. They carefully consider our customers’ budgetary, aesthetic, and energy production requirements to reach an optimal solar PV system configuration.

Why Solar Panels Are an Excellent Investment for Your Home

A house with gray siding and a wooden door boasts solar panels on its roof, capturing the abundant sunshine in Maine, surrounded by trees on a beautiful day.

The first and most obvious is that solar power is clean energy that helps protect the environment. The more solar power is used, the less fossil fuels are burned which means fewer pollutants and CO2 in the air. This provides you with peace of mind as you help to protect the environment, but there are other advantages as well.

Seaside Garage System Addition

Four people stand in front of a small garage with solar panels on the roof, near a lake, showcasing the power of solar in Maine.

The Assured Solar team installed this seaside garage system as an addition for a customer with an existing array on their home. The new system is composed of 10 REC 290-watt panels with an Enphase M250 micro-inverter attached to each panel.

The Benefits of Battery Storage

Large solar panels installed on a roof beneath the clear Maine sky, with a charming house nearby.

As energy storage solutions increase in popularity thanks to the marketing prowess of large manufacturers, many of our solar customers express interest in battery system additions to their solar arrays. Battery storage systems have myriad uses and benefits both for onsite users and the electric grid as a whole.

Quality of Our Installs

Our systems look fantastic on the outside; but what you don’t see matters. We don’t cut corners. Here’s what we do, that you may not initially notice.

Assured Client Story, Paul Weiss

I have to say that Rob and Peter and the other staff at Assured were extremely professional and hard working. To get our project completed before the weather turned into winter and the ground started to freeze, they worked in all weather, and on some days not even a duck would like.
