Come see us at REV2025 on October 16th! We’ll be holding court at exhibitor booth #9 at the Doubletree by Hilton in Burlington, Vermont – answering your questions pertaining to incentives, net metering, custom analysis and VT Star Solar’s services.

And we recently joined Renewable Energy Vermont ourselves. Selecting the best among the many solar companies in Vermont is a daunting task. Events like this, with a little face time and the ability to ask questions in person, can go a long way towards helping your business or family make such an important decision.

Hear From Our Happy Clients

Many solar companies grow so large and so fast that often the customer’s best interest is lost in the process. Our mission has always been to keep our team small in order to provide only the best experience possible and build customer relationships that last for years to come.

Marc from VT Star Solar took his time making sure we understood every step of the solar process in detail before deciding to move forward. Now we are saving $$$ every month while producing our own clean energy. No more annual price increases for us!

Mark L of VT Star, Gary B (Green Heron Solar, The Pied Piper of Solar Energy, the Solar Bus guy), Jake and team were all fantastic to work with, from initial proposal, to installation, to commissioning and post-install support. Communication was responsive and approachable throughout, and everyone involved in the process was a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend VT Star to anyone else looking to go solar for more energy independence at their home. We are soaking up the rays. Thank you all!

VT Star Solar is the only solar company I would ever choose to work with again. From start to finish they provided only the best service, and I couldn’t be happier with my new solar array.

Gabe and his team were responsive to all my inquiries as I learned about expanding my solar array. They gave me a great price and performed high quality work. When a modification was needed, they treated me fairly and professionally. Now I’m really soaking up the sun!

I am completely pleased with the work that VT Star Solar did for me this June. The explanation was helpful, the timeline was clear and accurate, the work was completed in the time period projected, and the costs were those estimated. It was a very satisfying experience and I have a barn roof full of slap panels! Thank you!

Alice Kitchel

We were so impressed with Gabe from VT Star Solar. He is a true solar professional! Everything went just as he promised at our initial meeting. It’s a great feeling to know we are no longer at the mercy of the utility company’s annual rate hikes.

Solar Resources

How many solar panels do I need for my home or business?

Right-sizing starts with your last 12 months of kWh, your roof or site layout, and panel wattage. We model shade and production to recommend a system that meets your goals, then show options in your solar installation process overview.

Will my solar work during a power outage?

Standard grid-tied systems shut off during an outage for line-worker safety. To keep essentials on, pair solar with batteries or specialized backup hardware during design. Ask about backup options during your custom solar design process.

How long do solar panels last and what maintenance is required?

Modern panels commonly carry multi-decade performance warranties and degrade slowly over time. Routine maintenance is minimal, and we include solar monitoring guidance as part of every residential and commercial installation.

How long does the solar installation process take from contract to turn-on?

Installation on your roof is fast, but overall timelines are driven by design, local permitting, inspection and utility interconnection. We manage each step and keep you informed from proposal to permission-to-operate in our documented solar installation process.

How much does a home solar system cost and what affects the price?

Pricing depends on several factors, including system size, panel and inverter selection, roof complexity, and the permitting and interconnection steps required by your local utility. Installers typically quote both a total system price and a cost per watt, which helps compare proposals on an equal basis. Your energy use history, shading, and any roof or electrical upgrades can also shift the price. Incentives and tax credits may reduce the upfront cost and shorten payback time.
