SCITUATE, Mass. - BostonChron -- Solar Dave, a Massachusetts residential solar installer near the South Shore, has surpassed 1,800 completed home solar installations across the state since 2011, cementing its position as one of the region's most experienced and trusted local solar providers.

Founded and operated by NABCEP-trained solar expert Dave Simmer, the company has built its reputation by doing things differently than the large national solar chains. Every system is designed by Simmer personally — not a commissioned salesperson — and engineered around the specific roof, shading, and electricity usage of each individual home.

"Reaching 1,800 installations isn't about volume — it's about trust," said Simmer. "Homeowners on the South Shore want straight answers and a system that actually performs for decades. I look at the real numbers, and if solar makes sense for a home, I show them exactly why. If it doesn't, I tell them that too."

That honest, no-pressure approach has resonated across the South Shore and beyond. Solar Dave serves Scituate, Hingham, Cohasset, Norwell, Plymouth, Duxbury, Marshfield, Hanover, Pembroke, Quincy, Braintree, and Weymouth, along with communities throughout Greater Boston, the North Shore, and Metro West.

The company's work emphasizes premium equipment and long-term reliability over the lowest possible sticker price. A recent Scituate installation — a 13.4 kW system produces an estimated 15,255 kWh per year, offsetting roughly 95% of the home's electricity use. The homeowner is projected to save more than $157,000 over the life of the system, with a payback period of about six years.

As a Massachusetts residential solar installer near the South Shore, Solar Dave also handles the details that matter locally: navigating town-specific permitting, understanding regional utility requirements with National Grid and Eversource, and maximizing the state incentives still available to homeowners in 2026.
