Detailed Profile

NC Solar Now has been a fixture in the Raleigh solar market for 17 years, a tenure that places them among the longest-operating residential installers in the Triangle region. Founded with the straightforward mission of making solar accessible to North Carolina homeowners, the company has grown steadily from a small local outfit into one of the state's most prolific installation firms, with more than 2,500 completed systems across the greater Raleigh-Durham metro area.

The company's technical credentials are strong. Their installation teams include NABCEP-certified professionals, and NC Solar Now partners with tier-one equipment manufacturers including Qcells for panel supply. They offer a lifetime workmanship warranty, a commitment that reflects confidence in their installation quality and willingness to stand behind their work over the long haul. Their service portfolio extends beyond traditional rooftop solar to include battery storage systems, EV charger installations, and thermal shield products, positioning them as a comprehensive energy solutions provider rather than a one-product shop.

What stands out most in the public record is the volume and consistency of their customer feedback. A perfect 5.0-star Google rating across 720 verified reviews is exceptional by any measure, and particularly notable for a company that has been operating long enough to accumulate the kind of post-installation service requests that often drag ratings down for aging firms. Customers routinely cite clear communication throughout the sales and installation process, attention to detail during the physical install, and a willingness to answer questions without pressure.

That said, no company with 17 years of operations is without occasional friction. A small number of reviewers have noted slower response times for warranty service visits, a pattern that sometimes emerges when a company's installation volume outpaces its service department capacity. It is worth monitoring but does not undermine the broader track record.

NC Solar Now earns a composite score of 74.5 out of 100, securing the number two ranking among North Carolina solar installers for 2026.
