A&R is the best! They did an install of our solar and battery back up system and everything was up and running in just about 4 days.

My experience with A&R Solar ultimately earned five stars, not because everything went perfectly, but because of how they responded when something went wrong. I live in a condo in a connected building, with a common-element roof managed by the HOA. The solar layout needed to respect the boundary between my unit and the neighboring unit, but instead several panels and mounting points were installed over my neighbor’s…
