Solarship Corp

Solarship Corp is a Connecticut-based residential solar company founded in January 2022 by Joshua Kekac, who launched the business after more than eight years in the solar industry and an earlier stint as the owner of a technology company that he sold in 2014. The team operates out of 2080 Silas Deane Highway in the Rocky Hill and Wethersfield corridor and has become BBB-accredited as of August 2024, where it carries an A+ rating. Kekac runs a tight bench of nine, including head of operations Terrance Crocker, project managers Nicole Underhill and Kevin Murrihy, an in-house realtor, and two dedicated solar consultants, which is a fairly unusual structure for a small Connecticut installer.

What caught our research team's attention is the verified customer feedback. Solarship holds a perfect 5.0-star Google rating across roughly 192 reviews, a profile that is statistically difficult to maintain at that review volume without consistent execution. Reviewers describe a clear options walkthrough, transparent paperwork, and a sales process that does not lean on high-pressure tactics. The company markets itself as a one-stop provider that handles solar design and installation alongside roof replacement and tree services so that homeowners with shading or aging roofs do not have to coordinate with multiple contractors before a system goes up. Real estate referrals through staff with solar certifications round out the offering for clients who are buying or selling a solar home.

On the technical side, Solarship installs Tier 1 solar equipment paired with Tesla Powerwall battery storage and offers a 25-year warranty on its installations. The company markets three financing paths, including cash purchases, loans with no money down, and power purchase agreements for homeowners who prefer a third-party-owned model. The BBB profile lists a service footprint that reaches beyond Connecticut into Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Florida, but the operational core remains the Hartford metro. Joshua Kekac has also engaged on state solar policy, submitting testimony to the Connecticut General Assembly in the 2025 session, which speaks to a level of public engagement uncommon among installers at this stage.

With a composite score of 71.0 out of 100, Solarship Corp holds the third-ranked position in Connecticut for 2026.
