Overview of Black Platinum Solar

Black Platinum Solar & Electric has worked hard to achieve and maintain an impeccable customer satisfaction rating. Our photovoltaic systems are installed with professionalism and the highest attention to detail, starting with top-of-the-line microinverters. Over the years, we have committed to installing the Enphase product only—and installing it right. With the added energy harvest and current pricing, we are extremely competitive when it comes to squaring off with other central inverters in the field. Our quality installations, combined with the extended warranty of our Enphase Microinverters—currently a 25-year warranty with Lifetime Monitoring—makes us the ideal choice for your home. The monitoring brings system information to a detail not expected or experienced by any central inverter system with extreme modifications. Although we only offer solar to consumers who own their systems (no solar-leasing at this time), Black Platinum Solar & Electric prides itself on customer satisfaction and is sure to maximize your PV electricity production.

John Black (owner) is the best contractor of any type I have hired. I have done a lot of work on my house and had issues with every contractor EXCEPT Black Platinum. I got 2 other quotes which were more money. One large company told me not to use Black Platinum “because they were small with little experience”. They also said “micro-inverters were unproven technology”. They were totally wrong on both accounts. I found smaller is better especially when the owner is onsite doing the work. John was also willing to accommodate unique needs of my situation. Mine is large system which required swapping out a main electrical panel. There was an manufacturer issue with the panel causing a partial power failure that showed up on Thanksgiving Day morning. Despite the holiday, John and one of his workers came to the house within a hour to address the issue. I doubt that would have happened with a “large company”. John also monitors his subs (roof, stucco, drywall, etc.) closely and makes sure the job is up to his standards. BOTTOM LINE: I highly recommend Black Platinum. I love the Enphase micro-inverter system with its online monitoring. Very cool.

A very knowledgeable,honnist,and committed company to give the buyer far more than they expected. A company that is not doing the work just for money but for the satisfaction of doing a top quality install for the themslves and the customer. A breath of fresh air finally in the service install industry of the world. Well done John Black.

Every thing that was done was above abd beond what anyone would exspect from a company. I would recommend them and will do so if anyone asks about solar. all work inspections and work were done by the contractor which is why I would recommend them at the highest advantage of everything done,.

I`m a demanding customer and I`m not easily impressed. I selected Black Platinum Solar after carefully researching several solar PV installers. John Black is unquestionably the finest contractor I`ve ever worked with. He went above and beyond at every phase of my solar PV project. John is proud of and enjoys his work. It is evident in everything he does. We worked together planning the project and I`ve never received such enthusiastic communication from ANY contractor. John made me feel like the work he was doing for me was as if it were his own house. If you want an honest, hard working, extremely knowledgeable and quality conscious PV solar contractor, Black Platinum Solar is the company you`ll want to hire.

I have never worked with a better contractor. John Black was the 3rd contractor I interviewed for this project. John went above and beyond expectations upgrading parts to the system that I would have never known about because he wanted to make sure the system was perfect according to his high standards. Do not use any other contractor to install your solar system. John takes the time to make you understand what you are getting and what you are paying for better than any of the other companies out there. I can not speak highly enough about my experiences with John Black`s Platinum Solar

John Black is the best contractor I have ever worked with. He listened to me and worked with me to get the most of what I needed. In regards to the incentives, He did not charge for the utility payback, but he did for the government payback obviously.

The cost for the system was stated showing the full amount. The APS amount was not paid by the buyer. APS forwarded the funds directly to the supplier.

The entire process from the first sales call until after the final payment was made was handled with the utmost professionalism. And the process was easy and friendly. It was a pleasure dealing with this company. Since our project was completed, we have successfully engaged the same company on a second project. Our contractor handled all the attendant issues with the local utility company and the city building inspectors.

I found everyone associate with Black Platinum Solar to be 100% honest, hard working, respectful, diligent, professional, helpful, informative, and a number of other very positive adjectives. When I started looking into solar options, I had narrowed the options down to 4 companies and then talked with each one. By a very wide margin, Black Platinum Solar outshines the others. I have recommended Black Platinum Solar to many friends and acquaintances with at least one couple that has already had their system installed by Black Platinum Solar. They are just as happy as can be. I know that my choice in Black Platinum Solar was the very best that I could have made. I give Black Platinum Solar the highest marks possible in every category! On the purchase incentive, this was an important aspect as it lowered the total cost by a considerable amount. I may or may not have been able to afford the purchase without the incentives provided by APS. Knowing what I know now, with the cost savings each month and over time, it would have been a wise investment even without the incentive.

John and Toni Black were awesome to work with! John is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to solar electric systems. He provided us with the details we needed to make an informed decision and took the time to explain how the system would work. John was patient in responding to all of our many questions and always asked if we had more. John and Toni handled all of the paperwork quickly and efficiently – we didn’t have to worry about anything. John was always in communication with us during the project so that we knew what to expect along the way. John and his team were always on time, efficient and courteous, with excellent attention to detail. The project progressed smoothly and was completed ahead of schedule. Black Platinum Solar & Electric exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend them.

First Class Work. The problem is SRP !!!! Price was net of the little SRP incentive but not of the Tax credit.

Only area that would not rate above average was supervision of sub contractors. It was average. Sub contractors did not comply with contracts and caused additional work to be performed. Additional costs paid by Black Platinum or sub, did not affect my price in any manner. In all extremely professional contractor. Delivered as promised on time at price of contract. Contract price extremely fair, not low bidder, but delivered high quality for fair price. Excellent after sale follow up and remains in contact. Assists with warranty issues and always available for questions or comments about system. Would use in future and definately recommend to others.
