Maine Solar Solutions

Sam Zuckerman founded Maine Solar Solutions in 2012, combining a lifelong interest in environmentalism and conservation with a professional history in the construction industry.Starting from his garage in Portland, he was driven by an interest in renewable energy and saw an opportunity to help Mainers save money and reduce their environmental impact as solar electricity became more affordable.At first, the company was just a two-person team installing one project at a time, earning trust and building a reputation through one-on-one consultations, quality work, and great customer service.Over the years, that local commitment has led to steady, organic growth. Today, Maine Solar Solutions operates from 491 US Route 1, Suite 20 in Freeportand has grown into one of Maine’s leading solar installers. The company has a team of 21 installers and eight State of Maine licensed electricians operating as three installation teams.Founded in 2012, Maine Solar Solutions designs, installs, and services solar electric systems, battery backup, and off-grid systems for homes and businesses across the state.With over a decade of experience installing solar electric systems, the company has helped thousands of residents and businesses in Maine make the switch to solar.What sets this Freeport solar installer apart is its entirely in-house approach. All work is performed in-house by Maine Solar Solutions employees, and during every step of the journey—from initial consultation through installation and in the years to come for service and maintenance—customers work with a Maine Solar Solutions team member.The company has NABCEP Certified team members and licensed electricians.Maine Solar Solutions holds certifications from the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) and Efficiency Maine, and was Maine’s first Tesla solar panel installer and is one of the few certified Powerwall installers in the state.Maine Solar Solutions has earned recognition for its work and growth. The company secured an impressive position at No. 231 in the nation on the 2023 Top Solar Contractors List—a 52-position increase from the previous year.For Maine homeowners considering solar installation, the company stands behind its work with Maine’s longest warranty: 30 years covering solar panels, inverters, labor, and rooftop electronics for grid-tied solar arrays.The company’s mission has remained consistent since day one. Maine Solar Solutions’ goal has been and always will be to guide customers toward energy independence while building a brighter, cleaner future for Maine.Their customer-first approach ensures customers understand how solar works and the options available to them so they can make an informed decision, while their local, Maine-based team keeps things simple and transparent, communicating clearly and answering questions with transparency.Whether a homeowner in Yarmouth needs rooftop solar panels, a business in Augusta wants to reduce operating costs, or a rural property requires an off-grid system with battery storage, Maine Solar Solutions brings the same commitment to quality and customer service that built the company from a Portland garage into a trusted name across the state.
