This list may not be comprehensive. If your installer is not listed here, we can still help. Many smaller local companies also close without public notice.
Based on our experience servicing orphaned solar systems in New Hampshire, these are the most common issues we encounter:
Heavy snow load damage to racking and panel frames
Ice dam formation at panel edges causing roof damage
Inverter shutdowns from extreme cold temperatures
Monitoring gateway offline after installer cloud shutdown
Wildlife damage from squirrels and chipmunks chewing wiring
Ground-mount systems damaged by fallen trees and branches
New Hampshire follows standard UCC warranty provisions. Manufacturer product warranties are independent of the installer and survive business closure. The state PUC does not directly regulate solar warranties but the NH Attorney General Consumer Protection Bureau can assist with complaints.
If you believe your installer performed substandard work before closing, you can file a complaint with:

Your manufacturer product warranties are still valid. Panel manufacturers typically offer 25-year warranties and inverter manufacturers offer 12-25 year warranties. These are contracts between you and the manufacturer, not the installer. The only warranty you lose is the installer workmanship warranty. NuWatt can step in as your new service provider, handle warranty claims, and offer our own workmanship coverage.
Snow is generally fine for properly installed solar panels — they are designed to shed snow and handle the weight. However, orphaned systems that have not been inspected may have loosened racking bolts, degraded flashing, or damaged panel frames from ice formation. Our diagnostic includes checking all mounting hardware, flashing integrity, and structural connections to ensure your system is safe and sound for NH winters.
Yes. Your net metering arrangement is between you and your utility (Eversource NH, Unitil NH, or Liberty Utilities), not your installer. As long as your system is producing and connected to the grid, you will continue to receive 1:1 retail rate credits for exported power. Net metering in NH has a generous 100kW cap for residential systems.
Our diagnostic is $250 and includes a full system health report. Warranty-covered repairs may cost nothing beyond the diagnostic. Out-of-warranty repairs range from $700 to $2,800 depending on the issue. A key advantage in NH is that there is no sales tax on services or equipment, so your out-of-pocket cost is lower than in neighboring states like Massachusetts or Vermont.
Yes. NuWatt services both roof-mounted and ground-mounted solar systems. Ground-mount systems in New Hampshire face some unique challenges including vegetation management, snow accumulation at lower tilt angles, and wildlife damage. Our diagnostic covers the full ground-mount structure, wiring conduit, and panel condition.
Your solar panels are built to last 25-30 years. Just because your installer did not does not mean your system has to stop working. Let NuWatt get your New Hampshire system back to full production.
