Warranty Charges

My system was installed by Bland Company in 2015 and I have had four inverts go bad and they were replaced without too much delay. I have a problem with the basic installation of the roof standoff brackets installation and they leaked, but upon notification they were very responsive to fix the problem! GREAT! BUT, now I have one panel that stopped producing power. I called to ask for a service call to fix problem and was quoted a $149.00 service call charge would be made to diagnose problem??? I don't yet know the final outcome of this issue, but will definitely run it by legal advisor and California State Contractors License Board for an opinion.

Pge true up bill

I would leave zero stars but I had to choose one in order to post this review. We went with bland because they were recommended to us. We had them come out and install solar panels on our house. Cost was about 45,000 only to receive a bill at the end of the year for our true up, which was $10,000 through PG&E. I’m contacting an attorney.And suing!!!

Service Call

Alex did a great job today fixing my solar issue in about an hour. Showed me pictures of the root cause and fix that was made. Explained how the house was on two different systems for monitoring and ensured both were up to date, how to access them and things to look for to detect a future outage. The education was worth the price of the service call.

Very Disappointing Customer Service

A year after installation, attempted to call their main line (661) 836-3880. No one answers the phone and mailbox is full. They only respond text. Texted them a while back to troubleshoot my Enphase Gateway not communicating and schedule technician. Took them 1 week to respond on text and they said next availability is 1 month out for technician. I am a long time Bland solar customer. Disappointing "after sales" customer service/support.

Home Owner

My experience with Bland Solar was great. Start to finish they took care of business. I was actually becoming friends with the 2 installers but then they were done. I enjoyed them so much that I bought them treats for there drive to and from Bakersfield. Miss you guys. Thanks for the great work. Am getting excited about not paying PG&E any more money.

Best possible solar experience

It was only 6 weeks from the time I walked into Bland Solar and received a solar design for my roof until I was online generating more power back to the grid than I was using!. They were fast, professional and truthful regarding every stage of planning and installation. They recommended an excellent bank for seamless financing at the best possible price and took care of all permiting needed. I get monlthly updates on on my solar array production which has exceeded their predictions by a comfortable cushion. And to top it off, the panal type and roof arrangement suggested by Bland retains the beauty of my mountain home. I highly recommend Bland for your solar needs.

My install

I got bids from 5 solar companies and Bland was the best price. Two other things made the decision for me first I liked that each panel could generate power even if some panels were damaged, second was how quickly they could do the job. I wanted it done before the end of the year and they got it done.

Exceptional, from start to finish and even after!!

Absolutely top notch. Took the time to explain the benefits of various systems, what we could expect during and after the process. Took into consideration our needs, how they were going to change, what our property could hold and how best to position everything so it didn't take away from the look of our property. <br />They delivered way beyond our expectations, I recommend them to any and everyone looking at investing in solar.<br />$800-$900 electric bills in the summer are a thing of the past for us and we couldn't be happier.

My Condo Installation

The most important fact about my installation was that everything described, done and billed was without ANY surprises. Bland did exactly what they said they would with regard to every detail. Everyone I dealt with from the sales staff, logistics support, installation and follow up was knowledgeable, competent and professional. I suspect that's what comes from a company being employee owned. I would recommend Bland to anybody seeking the services they provide.

Great solar company!

You can determine the character of your company when something goes wrong. The winter after my solar installation (which went very well in all respects) I found ceiling leaks under the panels. My Bland rep was out the next day, and within two days they had removed the panels, fixed the bracket problem, reinstalled the system, and asked me to estimate the cost of my ceiling repairs. I received a check for that amount immediately.<br /><br />The system has performed well, and after removing a large shade tree I had Bland add additional panels.<br /><br />I am very happy with Bland Solar.
