BFSE installed a 12-panel solar array, plus 1 Tesla Series 3 battery for our 1500 sf house. Grant…read moreput the proposal together. I knew I could trust him when he talked me down from 2 to 1 battery. Given that outages here usually last less than a day, a second battery would have been overkill. We also liked that the panels come from Europe, not from China. The Tesla Series 3 battery is simply better in every way than the others. The only downside is that we waited several extra months to get it. BFSE navigated the byzantine world of the Carmel Planning Commission to get the system approved. There was a bit of a kerfuffle about clearance from the property line, which required we reposition 4 of the panels, but Grant got it done. The hero of the install was Jonathan. He is a master electrician and solar wizard, and a very resourceful handyman. He honchoed the installation process, and has helped us understand what we bought and how to maximize its value. It is a seriously complex system, much smarter than I ever imagined. Did you know the system keeps an eye on the weather forecast? If storms are coming, it overrides my settings and puts all the solar into charging the battery to the max, and keeps it that way until the forecast clears. Beware of companies offering to install your system for no cash upfront, just pay them a few hundred dollars a month for 25 years. Check on their reviews before you sign up. Their hardware may be OK, but they seem to struggle to provide good aftersale and after-install service on these complicated systems.

Our Cal Poly faculty condo development has 3 different buildings with 3 different roof structures…read more We sought out 3 vendors to see if it was even feasible to have solar panels on shared/HOA owned rooftops for the 3 building types in January 2023 with just months to go before NEM 2.0 grandfathered date of 4/15/23. Bright Future Solar Energy was 1 of 2 vendors willing to provide this feasibility study of 3 different designs showing equitable allocation of solar roof space knowing full well that there were 3 entities to contend with - Cal Poly Corporation that owns the ground sublease, HOA and external community property manager The Management Trust. These 2 vendors had Cal Poly affiliations as other vendors shied away from this challenge. Heath B. graduated from Cal Poly in 2005. Bright Future Solar Energy's team - Heath, Joel, Scott, et. al. - were really great to work with. They came up with solar panel designs for the 3 different buildings. They priced the project really competitively, but we were not able to get 5 units to qualify for the discounts to sign on. I'm writing this review to acknowledge their tremendous efforts in the bid process.

Axiom 360 did a fantastic job of getting my new roof and solar system installed quickly as we were…read morerunning against the clock to obtain the solar tax credit that was expiring at the end of 2025. The salesman, Jeff was extremely helpful and communicative in explaining to me our roofing options (needing replacement due to the prior roof's age) and the solar system we would need to minimize any future payments to PGE as well as obtaining tax credits and rebates. We had a complication in that we were in the process of purchasing the house and the purchase was not set to go final until early-mid December 2025. Also, the holidays. Axiom staff stepped up big time. Even though they had other projects in the works, they squeezed us in. These complications required continuous coordination between Axiom representatives with the prior home owner (who was still occupying the house), and separately me because the prior owner's agent made it clear that the sellers and buyers (me) were not to directly communicate. In other words, Axiom had to work this project with two "owners" of the house, owners that were instructed to not talk to each other. As I was a "newbie" to solar I had lots of questions (and a desire for perfection). Clay and Justin were extremely patient with me every time I emailed, called, texted or visited their shop (to drop off payments) to coordinate the work, and for them to explain exactly what was being installed and all the installation steps that were being taken. I especially want to call out Justin and Sean for making sure we got the system hooked up as quickly as possible to PGE to export energy to the grid. Sean came by twice after the installation was complete, first to ensure PGE would bless the hookup and second to walk me through the system and show me how to work the App. The roof looks great and the system is working great. I strongly recommend these folks for roofing and solar system installations.

We wanted to put a gas insert into our fireplace. We were familiar with Pacific Energy because they…read moreare an underwriter for KCBX and we hear a plug for them regularly. We paid them visit and had a very positive experience with the staff. In early November (2023) we ordered an insert, hoping it might come before the holidays but expecting it would come before the new year. Rick Brown (Brown Construction, our installer) was set to install the insert the first week of January (he was very clear that his December calendar was pretty full)--but he was unable to do so, because Pacific Energy had ordered an insert for Propane (we have Natural Gas). So Pacific Energy had to order a small conversion kit. That did not come until the end of March, and Rick was finally able to complete the installation, a week after the first day of spring and 4 1/2 months after we paid the 50% deposit on the insert. Appropriately, Pacific Energy emailed shortly after about the balance due, generously noting "we are not charging you for the Conversion kit from LP to NG." Since Pacific Energy ordered the wrong thing in the first place, that did not seem all that generous, especially since their error caused the installation to be delayed an additional two months, past the end of winter. The staff was very helpful in helping us choose an insert, Rick was terrific, and we're very happy with the insert now that the installation is done. Our advice to others is that if you want to be confident of having work done by Christmas (around the beginning of winter), you should probably place an order before the end of summer.

As we aren't ready to start the project (mainly wanted to find out feasibility and we may do it in the log run?), he would not let me pay him for his time/estimate work, he said that was "all part of his job."
