Amazing company with quality work and great communication. I am currently selling my house and while in escrow it was discovered that the roof needed to be replaced. We were faced with unexpected cost’ and tight timeframes for meeting our deadlines to complete the new roof prior to close of escrow. The owner, Kevin worked quickly to meet our urgent time frame AND got us the most competitive quote for not only our new roof but removal and re-installment of our existing solar panels as well! Bella did a wonderful job ensuring my solar panels were left working and looking better than before they were removed. The follow-through from beginning to end was top notch. Thank you Bella Solar!

Latest bad review thumbs down

Unsatisfied Customer | Coulterville, California | 07/08/2022

One star based on the overall customer support from this company

They delivered the wrong panels (360s instead of 380s) and it was me that had to tell them they were wrong. They resolved this by adding two panels to our system. Due to not doing a thorough initial inspection they ended up having to, ad-hoc, dig an unexpected trench on our property that left a pretty big tripping hazard until we called them back and asked them to fix that glitch. They did not file the paperwork with the county in a timely manner and it took 4 months from installation to get our inspection completed. Pros: The panels perform as expected... they are LG panels with Enphase inverters and so I credit this to the panels we chose. The installation took place in the timeframe stated (if not completely smooth) The price quoted was the price charged. Initial conversations with the company were somewhat productive. Cons: It took two inspections (failed the first time) because they did not install enough supports under the panels to account for snow load. Because of the issues we encountered they said they would install Consumption CTs for our system. That never happened. I contacted Bella in July of 2021 to let them know I was still getting bills from PGE that did not seem right. They asked me to send them PGE bills and I did. NO ONE GOT BACK TO ME even though I kept "circling back". May 2, 2022, I sent a mass text to Bella contacts and finally got a call back from someone higher up. He was deflective and dismissive. Basically, stating that it was all PG&E who messed up and that it would take hours of calls to get any answers and the result would be unhelpful. I got ahold of PGE in less than an hour and was told that not all the proper paperwork had yet to be filed. I called back and was told they would “look into it”. I circled back a couple times, after I had not yet heard anything. I asked, again, if the paperwork had been filed. On May 18, 2022, I was told it was in progress. On July 8, 2022, I called PGE to find that the paperwork had not yet been filed. Bella says PGE revamped their site and lost a bunch of applications. PGE states that is not the case. I can neither confirm nor deny either story. I just want this finished but am still waiting.

persistent and caring about doing a good job for their clients.

My installation should have been straight-forward, but, as with some aspects of life.... wasn't... and some of the installed equipment proved to have parts that needed replacing... but, they did that. It was a new set that they had never used before... and as it turned out its set-up needed a slightly different wiring than was done originally... Long story short... they needed to come back again and again (which they DID) in order to get it to work correctly... But, though this was costly to them, and wasn't the way we all thought it would happen, they persisted, and they did a GOOD JOB, as we all wanted.

A really great experience!!

The team at Bella did a fantastic job organizing, facilitating and supporting job from beginning to end. Even after the installation was completed, they followed up to make sure I knew how to use my monitoring. Their customer service is excellent. My bill went from $200 dollars a month to just $18. We would highly recommend them to anyone!

Good Local Solar Company

After comparing with 7 other solar companies, I chose Bella Solar. Very good equipment, great pricing, very good customer service. After a year, they came through, no true-up bill, the system performed as promised.

Solar Nightmare | Rio Oso, California | 08/06/2020

A nightmare experience

Where to begin. If I could give them negative stars I would. Everything you need to know about the ethics and honesty this company can be seen by the fact that the owner Kevin has logged onto various sites, and gaven himself 5 start ratings!! If you hire this company to install a solar system, YOU WILL BE SORRY, AND YOU WILL LOSE MONEY. We hired them to install a $67 K system. Very sloppy workmanship. Very unprofessional attitude. Six months into project, STILL not finished. I am having to file regulatory, and legal complaints to get them to make good on damages. Components of the system installed incorrectly, & 10 of the panels don’t work at all due to improper wiring. Operating agreement with PG&E not completed, SO WE DON’T GET CREDIT FOR THE POWER the system does produce. We have paid over $60k on the system, and they refuse to finish unless we make the final payment, ON A SYSTEM THAT IS INCORRECTLY INSTALLED, AND NON FUNCTIONAL. Also take note. The Contractors License board only knows this company as BCI Group, or Bella construction. No listing as Bella Solar.
