Bland Solar

Excellent Company

Bland was highly recommended to us by friends who had used them. I must say that they met all of our expectations. They were courteous and professional . They came when they said they would and performed all the work they said they would do. I have no problem recommending them to family or friends. A 5 Star company.

solar install review

Everything went as planned, from good price to on time installation. Completion was also on time and very clean job. great to work with and HONEST.

Best deal around

I contacted 4 companies for the installation on my home. Bland was not only the best price, but they worked with me on how I wanted the installation placed so as not to detract from a pleasing aesthetic view of the home. Ten months into the first year with solar, I am very pleased. My true-up balance continues to drop over the winter months and we may be very close to $0.00 owed when the true-up day happens in June. Also, I received a hefty deduction on my taxes this filing season!

Love my solar system, and Bland is wonderful to work with!

Twenty One Panels installed, and they work wonderfully! I create more than I use, so my expenses are lower than they were with PG/E alone. Bland is very supportive, and all their workers are great to deal with. I am very happy I chose Bland Solar and recommend them highly.

Bland Solar

I am extremely satisfied with my services through Bland Solar.

Bland Solar

My experience with Bland Solar in Bakersfield was entirely positive. The installation went smoothly, and on time. My experience with PG+E was less so. With them, just expect delays much beyond the panels passing the building inspection.

Second Bland Install

2nd imstall by Bland, went as scheduled

very pleased with Bland Solar

I originally called another solar installer got a price from them for their panels and was going to use that company but i happened to talk to a good friend who had Bland Solar install panels on their house and all my friend could say was you need to call Bland and get a price and second opinion. Bland had all the answers to my questions and performed to the letter as far as keeping me in the loop during the design and install of my system all the way to the end. I'm very pleased with the exceptional service they gave to me and will recommend Bland to anyone looking to go solar.

Excellent Service and Quality Products

I search and researched (haha!) and found Bland to be the best priced, product and service quality. I still have $35/month bill but, due to my location and the shape of my roof, it was expected.

Solera

This is 2 years later but they did a fantastic job and went out of their way to make sure the job was done right. Couldn’t ask for more. As for solar couldn’t be happier should have done it sooner. I bought my system and I think that is the best way.

Solar

We loved how the first install went but this second one could have taken less time if the install team had worked more than 4 hours a day. Also they have messed up some of our wiring and we have to call to get it fixed.

Best company

System works great, the bill doesn't fluctuate. It's doing what was promised.

It was exactly as they said

I was provided with all the information I needed during my first visit to Bland. They answered all my questions and follow-up questions. I left with a packet of information to review before making a decision. The credit union they work with -DCU - is exceptional as well. Everything Bland said they would do they did. The installation timeline was accurate and they kept me informed. When I changed Internet providers they helped set the monitoring system up again. They have excellent customer service. I’ve had no problems with the system or my roof. The panels are barely visible from the street. I’m very happy with my purchase.

Great experience

Overall a very easy process and Jim was an excellent person to deal with. Didn’t feel pressured and had all pros and cons explained prior to signing anything.

Great Company

I did some research on solar companies before deciding on which one to use. I visited the showroom of Bland Solar for answers to my questions and concerns. The people at Bland are extremely knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions. I decided to have Bland Solar install my system and I am very glad I did. Their people are easy to work with. They do exactly what they promise to do. Their people did an outstanding job installing the system. Communication was great, they kept me informed throughout the complete process. I am very happy with Bland Solar and I highly recommend them.

Thank you Bland Solar

Bland Solar employees did a phenomenal job of installing a 7 KW system on my house in Bakersfield in late 2017. Colter was very pleasant and the installation was well co-ordinated. I enjoy monitoring the energy production and this summer should be quite interesting as the air conditioning costs will be tremendously offset by the solar energy production. I'm so satisfied with the solar project here in Bakersfield that I'm in process of having a re-roof and solar installation by Bland Solar on my primary residence in San Luis Obispo.

Pleasure to work with

I found Bland Solar employees to be very professional and polite. Every question I had was answered and they handled everything, from assistance setting up financing to applying for county permits and inspections, to enrolling us in the monitoring website. Very smooth process for a complex system set up, you can tell they are professionals and know what they are doing. Thank you everyone at Bland for helping us complete our goal of owning solar panels for our home.

Very Pleased with my Solar Upgrade

In October 2006 I installed a 2.8 kw solar system with a local installer in the Kern River Valley. It has and continues to work fine but after I retired I found I had outgrown its capacity. When I looked around in the late summer of 2017, I found there were no more local installers in the KRV. I knew little on how to proceed except that Weldon, CA, is remote. I checked the SCE website for who had done solar installs in my area and then researched each listed. I settled on Bland Solar because they had good reviews and they were a local company in Bakersfield. I contacted them and went into their showroom next to Trader Joe’s. Colter Allison contacted me and after an analysis of my needs based on my usage data available from SCE, we settled on adding 12 panels each with micro-inverters. There were many steps along the way and the multi-step process was slower than I would have liked but the system was installed before Christmas and almost immediately I was producing enough energy to cover my needs. I am pleased that the process was smooth and without pressure and that the result was what I was expecting and within a price range I could afford.

Great process, communications EVERY step of the way

Colter Allison first priced the system in 2016, but I had to wait for a re-roof before getting a system. In the year's wait the pricing decreased. And, when Colter sat down with me, we used more cells and the pricing decrease further. Jose performed my installation. Matt provided my electrical panel upgrade and Angela shepherded the paperwork through the system. The system is great, the communications were detailed and the installation went smoothly and quickly (3 days installation, wait 4 weeks for PG&E to approve panel upgrade) and were are now up and running

Great service and installation

Great service.! Smooth installation. Colter took the time to explain all of our options. Took care of us throughout the whole process. Did some shopping around and found them to be the most transparent and informative.

First Rate Installation

Excellent installation, Performance is great, Daniel is easy to work with and knows his stuff.

Great company

Thank you Bland Solar & Air. Our system is up and running. Mr. Bland you have an awesome team from Danny our salesman, Lindsy project coordinator, Lalo and his crew for the installation, and the others that I didn't get their names, all the way to Eddie for setting up the Wifi and showing me how the system works. Great company, with outstanding employees.

owner

Solar Panels

We have just completed the installation and monitoring on our solar system. I really have to commend Tony Morales for his ability to convince us this was the right decision. We did quite a bit of shopping around and I did research on panels to find out more on them. Tony actually sold us on the "Micro-inverters". The installation was very professional, and my hat is off to John and Ike for there knowledge and workmanship. I was here everyday and they answered any questions I had, which I totally liked. Edwin came out yesterday and did the monitoring setup for us. Very informative and regards to Edwin, very good at what he does. Our hats are off to Bland Solar and there team of professionals who did an outstanding job and especially Tony for talking to us more than three times before we made the decision to make a big investment. Our best Regards, Greg & Susan Underwood
