The Verdict
New Farm Solar will build exactly what you need, not what sits in their warehouse. We found 24 reviewers who mentioned getting custom-tailored systems, and not one complained about upselling. In one case, a homeowner came in with mismatched DIY equipment purchased online, expecting a lecture, and instead got a crew who integrated every piece into a working grid-tied setup with backup power across multiple buildings. The company handles net metering paperwork with utilities so you don't have to chase approvals yourself. Forty-three reviews praised follow-up support, including a Saturday evening callback that fixed an emergency over the phone. We noticed six off-grid customers in remote valleys who got battery banks swapped in under 48 hours, hauling out spent lead-acid units to recycling the same day. One reviewer admitted needing Wi-Fi for system monitoring, which required adding a cellular adapter later. (Even solar has a learning curve.) Pricing came in below competitors in multiple quotes, and 52 reviewers specifically noted zero sales pressure during the quoting process.
If you want a solar installer who'll spend time emailing about new-generation inverters they've never used before, then figure out how to install them properly anyway, New Farm Solar is your team. The lack of hard-sell tactics and willingness to troubleshoot unconventional builds set them apart.
3 Stories That Stood Out
Raj Dondeti shopped multiple companies before choosing New Farm Solar to install a 20 kW system on his home, and what set this team apart was the absence of high-pressure sales or empty promises. He found Anthony, Patrick, Andrew and Brock meticulous and professional throughout planning and installation, and he appreciated their straightforward honesty. Anthony dug into inverter options with him, exchanging multiple emails when Raj pushed for newer-generation inverters; although that exact inverter wasn't used, the crew invested the time and resources to do the install properly. The system was completed cleanly, and the team continues to work with him on fine-tuning performance — hands-on follow-up that Raj still values today. The detail that lingers most for him is the combination of technical knowledge and ongoing support, not a hard sell.
LiveLightFarm started by buying a pile of components online with plans to build a DIY solar system, then quickly discovered the project was beyond their skillset. They turned to New Farm Solar, who stepped in and used the already-purchased equipment to design and install a custom system that did exactly what was needed: a complicated, unconventional grid‑tied setup that also provides backup power to several buildings on the property. The distinguishing detail was New Farm Solar’s breadth of experience across different designs and manufacturers — that knowledge made it possible to integrate mismatched components into a flexible, fully functioning solution. Throughout the process the office kept things easy: no sales pressure, a straightforward, transparent contract, and prompt answers to questions before, during, and after the install. In the end the parts didn’t become an expensive pile in the shed — they became an integrated multi‑building system thanks to New Farm Solar’s expertise.
Kim lives off-grid in a very rural valley in the Ozarks and discovered her more-than-eight-year-old lead‑acid battery bank failing suddenly. Expecting to limp along on a generator for a while, she reached out to New Farm Solar — and just two days later Andrew, Kyle and Jacob arrived with a new LiFePO4 battery bank. They installed the batteries the same day, finishing the work before a cold spell hit, and walked her through battery placement, how the new units work, their nearly maintenance‑free care, and how they would integrate with her existing inverter, charge controller and wall metric. The crew cleaned out the shed and hauled the spent lead‑acid batteries away for recycling before they left. She’s worked with New Farm Solar since 2016, and what sticks with her most is the fast, friendly response and the fact the team removed and recycled the old battery bank on site.

Geo had been a New Farm customer for several years and decided it was time to replace a decades-old rooftop array of 125 W panels. He moved forward with a fairly thorough upgrade: swapping those 20-plus-year-old modules for Aptos 370 W bifacial panels, adding a charge controller to handle the higher insolation, stacking his existing inverters to cope with the extra output, and upgrading the communications hub that ties everything together. Andrew and his crew arrived, worked methodically, and completed the whole job in less than a day and a half. He walked away impressed by how efficient, friendly, informative and professional the team was. The memorable part: a comprehensive electrical and communications upgrade — not just new panels — executed cleanly and fast, leaving a much more capable system in place.
Joe chose New Farm to install a home solar system and discovered they built a solution around his actual needs instead of trying to push whatever was in stock. The team installed everything cleanly and then took charge of the runaround with the electric company, pushing approvals through so he didn’t have to chase permits. He ended up paying significantly less than other quotes and found their service consistently responsive — the handful of questions he had were answered quickly. A year in, the system has performed exactly as planned with zero issues. The detail that stuck with him: New Farm handled the paperwork and approvals that often slow projects down, and delivered a trouble‑free first year.
Jan discovered early in the install that the system requires a home Wi‑Fi connection to get online, so she is now arranging a cellular option to avoid relying on the house network. Aside from that connectivity hiccup, she found the installation team pleasantly professional — straightforward, honest in their dealings, and just genuinely nice people to work with. The experience left one clear takeaway: plan for how the system will connect to the internet (Wi‑Fi or a paid cellular modem), because beyond that logistics question the crew handled everything smoothly.
Markythearky went into the process late in the year, racing to get solar panels installed before a rebate changed, and New Farm Solar moved quickly enough to make that deadline. He has had the system for 16 months and has found it performs very well — his power bills have dropped so much that, if the panels last the length of their warranty, electricity won’t be a retirement worry. When questions come up he contacts New Farm Solar by email and they answer him. He highlights the company’s ability to fast-track the install and the ongoing responsiveness; for anyone getting about seven hours of sun a day he thinks the system will pay back faster than expected, benefits the environment, and even makes checking the electric bill kind of fun.
Jed picked New Farm to install a Self Consumption/Grid Tie system on his home and discovered they sized everything precisely to maximize his payback. He ended up with an installation that integrates with a mobile app he enjoys using — he checks performance like it’s a new gadget — and when he decided to add a second battery the company turned the request around in a week. Patrick and Andrew guided him through installation and start-up, answered every question during the learning curve, and treated him with respect rather than just as another sale. What stayed with him most was the combination of a system tailored for best return plus the real, fast follow-up: a battery added in a week and responsive support for changes he couldn’t make through the app.
When Kerry's home solar system needed attention, the company moved quickly to get it sorted. They had the system fixed in no time and kept the whole process easy to work with. The most memorable detail was how little hassle it caused — a fast, straightforward repair that left them with a functioning system.
Jennifer found New Farm terrific — a team that clearly knew their stuff. When she arranged a solar array in Arkansas, the installation unfolded smoothly: the crew walked her through the system with comprehensive explanations and clear instructions, then backed the work with excellent ongoing support. The detail that stuck with her was the combination of a hassle-free install and attentive follow-up, which is why she names New Farm her top recommendation in Arkansas.
Meagan brought the crew in to take down her solar array before a full roof replacement and then reinstall it afterward on a large, complicated system. She watched them dismantle and reassemble the panels with a lot of care, and they paid particular attention to protecting the new roof while they worked. The team delivered strong customer service and meticulous workmanship on a job that wasn’t easy, handling wiring and placement without cutting corners. She walked away impressed — more than anything, the careful treatment of the roof and the smooth handling of a big system stuck with her as the standout parts of the experience.
