Porter Electrical Contracting is an electrical shop whose own site lists residential and commercial solar installation, battery storage, EV charging station installation and generator installation. The company says it has been in business 15 years. One recent customer had a Franklyn whole-house battery backup system, an EV charger and a Span panel installed, and said the wait for the install was worth it. A customer whose solar panels went in during 2022 said that the installation took one day, that Chris Porter explained how to use the manufacturer's app, and that they called Porter Electrical again to add two whole-home batteries, with the company handling the Eversource paperwork. A recent customer with a failed dual-axis solar tracker said the repair needed a large lift with a crane and was done in less than 5 hours. When a recent customer found an issue between an older generator and the new solar system months later, Chris arranged to come out and meet with the generator people. A 2025 customer described a Franklin aGate with 2 batteries, about 26Kw of storage fed by 39 solar panels; that customer said Porter ran electrical lines to the detached garage and the generator and added a bypass switch. A 2025 customer said Porter installed new breaker panels and a new meter at a rental building and ran the electrical up the side wall. A 2025 customer said an install in Chichester NH was completed on time as promised and praised the site clean up. In a 2024 review, a customer in rural Maine said two electricians and two apprentices did the solar and battery job over two days. In a 2023 review, a customer described going with a 108 panel array.

Chris and Stephanie are great to work with. They responded to my request in a timely manner. The service was performed on time and as scheduled. Highly recommend their services. Mike
Porter Electric was prompt with a quote and very informative about the battery and how it would integrate with my generator and solar that were other brands. The work was done over a year ago and we are very pleased with how it operates with solar and grid or no grid. I would hire them again for any electrical work.
Had a Franklyn whole house battery backup/ power storage system, EV charger, and a Span panel to control how and when power is being used. Had to wait for the install to take place, but it was worth it. Good technicians, good workmanship, at affordable and reasonable prices.
Porter Electrical installed solar panels on our home in 2022, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Their team was organized, efficient, and professional. The installation itself took just one day, and although we had to wait several weeks for Eversource approval to connect to the grid, the system has worked flawlessly ever since. Chris Porter knows this work inside and out, and he took the time to explain how everything functioned, including how to use the manufacturer’s app to monitor the panel's electricity production. When we decided to add two whole‑home batteries, it was an easy decision to call Porter Electrical again. The same high level of professionalism carried through the entire project. They handled all of the extensive Eversource paperwork, kept us informed at every step, and were always available for follow‑up questions. Chris’s experience with both installation and utility coordination made the process smooth and stress‑free. He and his team are truly a pleasure to work with. We recommend Porter Electrical without hesitation to anyone considering solar or home battery installation.
The Porter Electrical team is top notch in quality of work, communication, and support. They have done a residential Franklin battery system for me and are helping me with other projects as well. If you are looking for solar, residential battery storage or any electrical projects, this is the company to use!
