Bland Solar

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!!!

In June 2024 I began multiple projects with The Bland Company totaling $45,340. The projects include a new roof, new water heater, 2 whole house fans and a SOLAR panel system. EVERY area of installation for all of these jobs was met with promises not kept, shoddy workmanship that required multiple conversations to fix and repeated incompetents. The 6 months of frustration were discussed thru the “foreman” Jesse Darrah who happens to be an owner of this company. He repeatedly apologized and assured me it would be done right. Every aspect of my projects had serious problems and work done contrary to mutually agreed conversations. I will not go thru each issue other than say I strongly warn anyone considering doing business with The Bland Company. In November we FINALLY get city approval and The Bland Company turns on the Solar System. I was assured that when the system was active I’d be educated on the system and the phone app. As well as navigating PG&E. This NEVER happened and in December I contacted PG&E MYSELF only to find I did not have approval to produce power AND my system should not be connected to the grid! Again BLAND dropped the ball… when I texted Jesse the owner and “foreman” ghosts me and has someone I’ve never met call- the Bland Companys comment was “do you want me to disconnect it”…?! I didn’t mention employees on my roof vaping, disgruntled employees discussing the “new owners” and an instillation crew watching YouTube videos to “learn”(still got it wired incorrectly). My recommendation is beware of this company. Contact me for detailed pictures, correspondence/notes/texts of my ordeal.

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.
