Couldn't be happier!
I contracted with Bright Eye Solar in April of 2026 after comparing proposals from Bright Eye and another company. I had a much better sense of comfort with Bright Eye, both from a knowledge standpoint and from an equipment standpoint. I had them install a ground-mounted system in my back yard with two arrays totaling 44 panels. The entire installation and setup went very smoothly. Communication was good and all my questions were answered clearly and without hesitation. Since the system was online and reporting statistics in May, it has been a delight. The panels supply more power than we use (summer months) and our electric bill has dwindled to tens of dollars instead of hundreds. Everyone at the company was a delight to work with from the sales rep to the project manager to the installers. I highly recommend anyone looking for a ground mounted solar system to check out Bright Eye Solar. You won't be disappointed!

Very Satisfied!
We are very happy with the installation and service we received from Bright Eye Solar. Tom was a great person to work with on site and when we had one panel down, both Russell and Tom were quick to get it fixed and working. We are loving the panels and our new, nearly nonexistent, electric bill!

Dear BrightEye Solar Team
I am writing to share my feedback regarding the solar system you installed for us in March of 2026. The service throughout the entire process went very well, and the installers did a wonderful job. The system has been working well above my expectations. Thank you for the excellent service and experience. Best regards, Randy Ream

I was in need of some solar panel removal for roof maintenance, plus some solar panel maintenance, and Bright Eye Solar was very responsive, confirmed they would be able to do all the work I needed, and gave me an estimate very quickly. If you are looking for similar work, you have probably learned that a lot of companies are not responsive at all or not willing to do solar panel maintenance, so definitely wanted to give kudos to Bright Eye Solar for being one of the active ones!

Excellence, Knowledge, and Support - stellar!
I had looked at solar for my home roof before but could not justify the cost in light of the sales-iness and mixed quality of the providers and options. When I restarted the process in early December 2025, I asked my roofing company what was recommended before solar install. The roofing rep was one of several recommendations for Bright Eye Solar that led me to request a proposal. Bright Eye Solar followed through, responded promptly, explained, answered questions, and did it with professionalism. I chose to move forward with their plan for roof-based solar with battery backup. Last month's electric bill was $1.74. Last weekend, when the local electric utility had an outage, I was unaware due to the smooth changeover to battery coverage. Enphase who was my battery supplier notified me of the outage and when it was over: what a nice way to learn of the outage. There were transition issues -of course- due to software update interruptions. Each time, the support from Bright Eye Solar was immediate and reliable. Even on weekends. Bravo to all the sales, project management, support, and installation staff at Bright Eye Solar!

Prompt responses, and system working good
bright eye, has always answered my many questions quickly. The system has been up for almost 3 years and I have had no issues with the solar system. Some small issues with the emphase app, but that may be due to my internet.

Enphase Battery Backup and Solar A+ Bright Eye Solar
Did my google/reddit research and reached out to a couple Solar companies in May of 2025. Bright Eye was one of those I selected and they were quick to reply. Josh was the one that answered and I must have sent twenty emails with a couple phone calls mixed in there. He usually replied within the hour. Looking back, I was probably a PITA customer, but Josh never treated me like one. I apparently asked some more technical questions and he was happy to answer. There was another company I thought seemed like a good choice, but they were more expensive and suggested one less battery. Both were suggesting to use Enphase tech, and that's what we went forward with. A third company was suggesting a different larger company battery, but I read some less satisfactory things about them, so I chose the Enphase product and gave my deposit to Bright Eye Solar in June. From there, Russel took over with scheduling. He also was quick to reply, generally within 24 hours unless there was a more pressing matter. The engineering drawings came back a few weeks later. The township issued the approval almost two months later. Peco on the other hand, took their merry time. We scheduled the install in August and it was completed two weeks later. Install went smooth and looked great when done. We flicked the switch and it was generating power! There were a couple small hiccups, but Russel was on top of things right away. Nothing major, just a technicality with Enphase. Now for Peco.. Peco was really dragging their feet. I was talking with Sunny at Peco, and she's a nice lady, but there are no fires lit over there. Peco makes it feel like they have 4 people covering a 100 mile radius. Finally received the approval from PECO at the end of September. I was not officially on line with Peco and had the two way meter until mid October. So almost 5 months from start to finish. Still waiting on the SRECs to be finalized, but that's no big deal. While I was waiting for PECO, we basically used the system off-grid. I used the batteries at night to run the house and the August/September sun powered the house and charged the batteries during the day. Worked flawlessly. So cool. Very happy with Bright Eye Solar.

Competitive, Reliable, Easy to work with
Bright Eye Solar was willing to remove my 15 year old roof array for a necessary shingle roof replacement for a reasonable price without requiring that I commit to a new solar installation. Every other regional company I contacted either explicitly required tying removal to a new system or quoted prices more than double (ie not interested). Once I had my new roof installed and rain tested I decided to install a new array. Bright Eye earned my business at this point. They installed a 16kw array with micro-inverters efficiently and cleanly. Not a single lag bolt missed the roof truss. My new array operates flawlessly.

Best Solar Company out there
Before we chose Bright Eye Solar we obtained quotes and met with several other solar companies. Bright Eye Solar was by far the best. From the start, there was no pressure to rush into a purchase. We had quite a few questions as we were trying to decide between a roof mounted system and a ground mounted system. To cover 100% of our electricity demand (including 2 EV's) we ended up going with roof and ground mount. The team answered all our questions, explained in detail the pre-install permitting process and the post-install process for grid connection. Installation took place as planned. The installation team was very professional and knowledgeable. Post-install we had a snag with our local building inspector and the team at Bright Eye handled it deftly. They also helped us get setup to manage our SREC's. We've had the system running over 5 months now and there have been "0" issues. Anytime I've reached out to them they've responded promptly. My main concern with going solar was finding a sustainable, local company that would be able to support the system for years to come. With Bright Eye's focus on residential and commercial systems I expect them to be there when I need them. If you're looking into solar, I can't recommend Bright Eye enough. You won't be disappointed.

Quick Installation, Excellent System
It was a race against the clock to get my system up and running before the tax credits would expire. I contacted Bright Eye Solar in mid-July. Within one week, I had a detailed system and installation proposal in my inbox. By October the system was installed and in November I was feeding into the grid and racking up credits with my power company. I was in contact with the project manager throughout the process, and he could not have been more responsible or patient with my many queries. The system is great (perfectly sized with top-of-the-line equipment) and the service from Bright Eye has been outstanding. I'm delighted with the company and recommend them wholeheartedly.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Up and running in record time! Josh and Russell, from the sales and project management team we're professional and prompt. I asked what felt like a ton of questions and they answered them all quickly and politely with helpful information. They also provided timely updates as permitting and other requests were going through the pipeline. Once the final approvals rolled in they scheduled us for install just a week out! The installation crew was also fantastic. Had the pleasure of speaking with Tom, Luke, and Mark. They were professional, friendly, and kept me involved throughout the whole process. On several occasions, reality didn't match the original plans so they proactively consulted me on how I'd like them to move forward. When they finished, Tom showed me around, explained each part of the system. They also scheduled inspection for the day of completion, so Tom stuck around and showed the inspector the system to expedite getting our system online. It's been about two weeks and we've received the final operating approval - which is amazing to us (this took a different company three months at our last house)! The team clearly takes pride in their work and craftsmanship and we have every intention of working with them again in the future. Thank you!

Bright Eye Solar is a great, local company, with local employees who care about us as customers. I loved my experience with BES and all of the folks I had a chance to interact with. From Sales with Michael, to Project Management with Russell and Britani, to Zach and the install crew and finally, with Caleb wrapping things up as an account manager, my experience was awesome. Every member of the team was happy to help with any questions I had, kept me updated on the progress of the project, and was generally helpful throughout. Special thank you to Zach and the install crew. You guys were very accommodating working with me and my priorities. The install looks amazing and is producing above expectation! I'm only sorry you all had to install on the hottest days of the year! I received quotes from 4 companies when looking for solar and landed on BES for a few reasons. They're a local company with local employees. They had a great price, well below the competition with high quality products and high quality installers. And finally, everyone at BES was a pleasure to work with. Thanks guys. Great work! -Brandon

We recently had Bright Eye Solar install a solar panel system at our home, and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From our initial consultation to the turning on the system, everything was handled with professionalism, expertise, and care. Bright Eye handled all of the permitting process, inspections and connecting us with an SREC broker. The team at Bright Eye Solar was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process. They answered all of our questions patiently and ensured we felt comfortable without any high pressure sales. We were informed throughout the entire process of what was happening and what the next steps were. The installation itself was seamless – their crew was efficient, respectful of our property, and completed the work to a very high standard. We were truly impressed with their attention to detail and the quality of their work. Bright Eye Solar made the transition to solar power easy and enjoyable, and we are so grateful for their outstanding service!

My experience with Bright Eye Solar lived up to my expectations. I had a lot of questions and details that I needed worked out and the salesman, Josh, was very patient and responsive. I am a retired builder and I was very focused on every detail of the process. It took awhile to get from signing contracts to installation but I know that had a lot to do with the sudden rush to go solar. The install was very neatly done and professional. I am very happy with the results.

Installation of our 72 panels on 2 ground mounted racks was done perfectly. Despite having to work in challenging winter conditions at times, Bright Eye stayed on-schedule. Coordination with the local municipality and utility was handled expeditiously without any issues.

A Bright Experience
I recently had the pleasure of working with the team at Bright Eye Solar. From the moment I contacted them until the day of PTO it was a good process. I asked for a speedy install to be completed prior to end of 2024 and the job was completed in the time frame I asked for. One of the products failed (not the installers fault) and the problem was resolved and is working perfectly. The price, the people, and the process are all 5 stars.

Seamless installation - superior customer service
I had been in the market for a solar solution for my custom home since I made the decision to build a custom home back in late 2023. We broke ground in 2024 and I had made my decision to go with Bright Eye Solar before the end of summer 2024. The team came out to my build site and explained the process of the install with my home architect. This crucial step made it really easy and efficient to have the correct portals and lines ran for the future install. A few other companies I had in mind for solar wanted me to wait until the home was fully finished and I had my utilities connected. They lost me as a client right then and there. Bright Eye took my project head on without any hesitation. The install took about a week during some terrible weather and they fulfilled the plan of action without any delay. The install for my 14k system was efficient and smooth and every single one of my million questions was answered. This company really informs their consumer on what to expect and how things work. I am currently working with my tax accountant to take advantage of the tax credit and I am about to see some real savings in my utility bill next month. If you are looking for an all-star solar company to work with, I strongly suggest Bright Eye Solar.

Absolutely Consider Bright Eye Solar
I tend to wait to post reviews until I have had enough time to witness the effect of a product. We had our solar installed a bit over a year ago and I have been thrilled with the experience. The direct work with Mike and the installers through Bright Eye Solar was fantastic. They were professional, efficient, and quick with install. We could not say enough good things about our install process. After having the system over a year, we have been thrilled with its production and impact on our bills/family. The interface of Enphase has been brought up when compared with others we know have solar and it continues to show as superior. We continue to be very satisfied with our decision to go solar and absolutely suggest anyone considering it to go through Bright Eye Solar.

Top notch company-quality install-they make it easy
There are many solar installation contractors eager for your business. Some are better than others. I was in touch with another provider first. That sales rep exaggerated (lied) and he knew I recognized it. He gave up the chase, and I moved on. A friend in Mechanicsburg had a very positive experience with Bright Eye Solar, so I contacted them. From the start they were professional, and did a fastidious job in the installation. Great efforts were taken to hide the conduit as much as possible, painting it to match the siding, and moving one box into the basement, minimizing the pieces that needed to be attached to the outside of the house. The electrician/crew chief Zach was the primary guy responsible. He was eager to please the customer, pleasant to work with, and obviously a bright guy. But all of the staff were good at their jobs and a credit to the company, making a complicated project as easy and pleasant as possible. I would recommend Bright Eye Solar without any hesitation. I can't imagine finding a better company.

Great overall contracting experience
I selected Bright Eye Solar, after seeking proposals from a number of recommended solar PV residential contractors, based on their knowledgeable sales staff, responsiveness in questions, 14 years of experience, competitive pricing, overall solar PV package [including getting the garage EV ready]. And, most importantly, they delivered on everything promised, in half the time I expected. Their entire organization, from sales, to engineering, permitting, and overall project management to billing demonstrates they are a well-oiled machine. At this point [still waiting on PECO for net meter switch out, which is scheduled to be very soon], I highly recommend the Bright Eye. A little shout out to PECO too for their very efficient interconnection process - much improved from the past.

Excellent Service Excellent Support
Bright Eye Solar is an outstanding company that provides excellent service. All the work done by Bright Eye Solar installers was high quality. They completed the installation of the roof top panels and the installation of the circuit panels much faster than I thought possible. Russell, project manager, took the township inspector through the evaluation of the installation without a hitch. The township approved the work completed by Bright Eye Solar fully without any need for any changes or adjustments. It was vital for me to have Bright Eye Solar walk me through the process of managing the transfer from our PPL power to the solar power. Working with PPL to make the transfer was the most challenging part of the process. Bright Eye Solar guided me in the process to make it happen! Since the need for reliable power source is vital to running of a home, I wanted to find a company that I could trust and work with for years to come. Bright Eye Solar has been in business for years and has a well earned excellent reputation.
