Last 6 months: 2 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read A recent customer who inherited a solar system with a new home, and knew a number of panels had to be replaced, said Aegis Solar did what it said and beat all the timing it had set for the work. The company says it has been in business 37 years and that it designs and installs solar with guaranteed solar production. It holds 4.9 stars from 24 Google ratings and an A+ grade from the BBB. A 2026 customer said Aegis keeps projects in house, with its sales team, administrative department, installation and service crews all Aegis employees. A 2025 customer said their system had beaten its guaranteed production year over year in the three and a half years since they went solar with Aegis. A 2024 customer said Leslie raised a necessary roof reinforcement that no other company brought up, and that their town building inspector was pleased with the work. A 2023 customer said Nathan Hernandez sized their system to accommodate a plug-in hybrid car. A 2023 customer said it took 3 months and one week from signing the contract to turning the system on, against an estimate of 3-6 months. In 2022, a commenter on r/Connecticut wrote that Aegis Solar in Branford installed their system. A 2024 customer said their system did not come on line until several months after they expected, and attributed most of the delays to approvals from the town and utility. In 2025, a commenter on r/Connecticut wrote that Aegis and another company were "too expensive and not good reps." **Strengths:** - Production guarantee beaten — a 2025 customer said output beat it year over year - A roof reinforcement catch — a 2024 customer said no other company raised it - No subcontractors — a 2026 customer said all crews are Aegis employees **Concerns:** - A slow start-up — a 2024 customer said the system came on line months late - Price and reps — a 2025 Reddit commenter called it too expensive ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A recent customer said Aegis beat all the timing it had set for work on an inherited solar system _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2t4RFdUUkViRWw0WDFCalpuRTFOM1JxYTNOTlluYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x267e7e688bfffc45!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOkxDWTREbEl4X1BjZnE1N3Rqa3NNYnc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ We moved into our new home 3 weeks ago, inheriting a solar system.
