Bright Eye Solar

Excellent Service and Product

The entire process of obtaining our solar system from BrightEye was wonderful. Jim and his team helped us from the get-go to let us know exactly what we were buying. Everything from the components themselves to how the system was hooked up to our home to SRECs were explained in detail upfront. Every question I had was answered. Communication from BrightEye was great throughout the process. On a daily basis during the install, the project lead updated me several times. I was told what the daily plan was, their progress, and what to expect the next day. I was also made aware of any challenges they faced and how that would impact the install timeline (I had a pole-mounted array installed in PA in the middle of January). The entire install team was very professional and respectful towards me, my family, and my property. Closing in on the 2nd anniversary of the install, I am astonished by how accurate Jim's forecasting models were when it came to power generation of the system. We used the numbers he provided in his proposal to forecast our savings in terms of our electric bill and his forecast remains within a few percentage points of the actual. I highly recommend BrightEye Solar for their knowledge, professionalism, service, and overall approach to furthering solar energy.

Solar System Installation

Having just completed a major renovation on our house, I was concerned that I might have to monitor the solar installation and inspections as closely as I did the renovation. Turns out I did not. The difference between the two experiences was night and day. James and his crew were very professional and competent. Some things I really appreciated were: James revised the quote to accommodate some changes I wanted. Two other solar installers who had given initial quotes didn’t even bother to revise their quotes after saying they would. James and his crew did what they said they would and when they were supposed to. James and Annette answered any questions I had promptly. Annette was especially helpful The solar installation went very smoothly, the work looks neat and tidy and we have had no problems I would recommend James and BrightEye to anyone, and, if they did installations in Florida I would use them again without hesitation.

Look no Farther than Bright Eye Solar

I could not have asked for a better experience form the initial contact to the installation. Every person I interacted with took the time and treated me with respect and professionalism. Any question I had was answered and I felt like they truely cared about what I was looking for. If you are looking for a professional company, look no further than Bright Eye Solar for your needs. Top Notch in all areas.

Good results minor hitches

I began looking into solar panels back in 2016 and started my communication with Jim back then. Unfortunately, some expenses came up and I had to delay; Jim was professional and understood. I picked up communication again in Fall 2017 and after talking with a couple of other companies including a national chain I decided to go with Bright Eye Solar. I was a bit concerned because I have not seen many recent reviews but I spoke with some references and I did see that that they were busy with plenty of other jobs which made me more comfortable with my decision. In terms of the process itself, we did run into a couple hitches. First, my electric provider didn’t approve the micro inverters we were planning on this year yet (was on schedule to be approved in early 2018) so with had to change to optimizer. Second, the measurements were redone. This started off to be a good thing as it allowed us to get an extra panel on the roof. Unfortunately, we ran into hitch number 3: the mounting system was supposed to be one system. Unfortunately, the mounting system I wanted needed a bit more space and there was a miscommunication that resulted in half my roof with one mounting system and half with the other mounting system. Despite the hitches, they crew was very friendly, respectful and professional. There was constant communication and the job was completed in early December. I was constantly comparing my system production to another system not far from me that is about 250 w larger than my system. Throughout December I was finding that on most days my system was actually outperforming the other despite mine being slightly smaller even though neither of us are in the shade. It is now January 11 and my system has produced 478 kWh so far this month; the comparative system is only about 400 kWh for the month so far. I am very pleased with the results and the customer service of Bright Eye.

Solar system maintenance

My solar installer had gone out of business and I was encountering issues that needed addressed. Jim at Bright Eye Solar was quick to respond to my request for assistance. The company checked my system and found the issues were covered under warranty. The micro inverters were repaced and my system is now back to capacity. Thanks for a great experience!!!

Mr

We were considering getting solar when building our new home and Bright Eye were one of the installers recommended by our Builders. From the outset Jim and his team were courteous and knowledgeable, explaining the different options for our house and the power projections. Even though they promised less power than other installers, I got the sense that their estimates were not exaggerated. Installation went smoothly and Jim and his team have been on hand throughout as we started up the system and applied for energy credits and rebates. They even told us about a $400 rebate we knew nothing about!! We are on track for the solar to supply all of our electric needs through the year. Couldn't be happier.

Great service

I got multiple quotes in the area on a roof array and BrightEye was very competitive and also quite professional in how they conducted business. The project went as planned and my panels are producing as expected. It's nice to know that they guarantee your production for 5 years and actually reimburse you for any shortcomings from their original quote. I'm very pleased with how the panels look. Jim was great to work with and even gave me some tips on how to sell my SRECs privately to save some money. Would highly recommend.

Execellent Service

James Noden provided excellent service through out the process. He patiently allowed me to do my research and clarify doubts as I learned more about the industry. Once I awarded the contract to him, he and his crew were very meticulous and professional. I would highly recommend to everyone.

Great experience from beginning to end

I highly recommend Jim Noden and his crew. They were a class act from beginning to end. They were able to install my panels quickly and get everything up and running very smoothly. The crew certainly knew what they were doing and did not need to be monitored at all. I ended up getting a 19.5KW Axitec system with Solar Edge optimizers and inverters. A portion of my roof was flat and they were able to add tilt legs and fasten them on my roof. They also did an excellent job at fixing my roof structural issues at a very reasonable price. When you are done shopping for a Solar company this is the person I would choose if I were you. I met with 4-5 companies before I selected Bright Eye Solar. His straight forward approach worked well for me and he was very communicative about the process and during the install. His crew was also very communicative and explained everything to me in a very easy to understand manner. A terrific value overall. Everything is up and running for me and I'm happy to be giving PECO a lot less money for life! He even helped me sort out the SREC stuff.

Great experience

Brighteye Solar provided a very positive experience going through the process of defining the solar system to install. Jim was very helpful and knowledgeable, providing alternatives as we worked through the detail. The installation went smooth and the people from Brighteye (Elam and Tim) were very knowledgeable and professional. It turns out that due to a construction deficiency by the original house builder Toll Brothers, reinforcement of the roof truss system was required. An engineering study was performed and Brighteye did the reinforcement. I am very satisfied the the system and the workmanship.

Technically Sound and Excellent Service

We are quite pleased by their service. Pre-Sales: Being one of the curious types, I had a lot of questions and went back & forth frequently to discuss options, enquire about latest prices (since they change weekly) and technology. Jim gave us the space and supported us as we navigated through various options of PPA (Power Purchase Agreement), leasing and outright purchase. Being technically sound, it was a lot easier to clear technical and financial doubts with Jim immediately, rather than working with a marketing person from other firms who were more interested in closing the deal in the current month. Delivery: We got delayed because of reasons outside our control. Nevertheless, Jim was always in contact keeping us updated with latest schedule. The installation was done professionally. I was impressed by the team’s methodical approach as well as not shying away from minor scope creeps to ensure aesthetics of our house. They patiently explained what they are doing and why all along. Post Installation: Jim diligently followed up with our utility company to ensure that we have all the approvals and set-up with net-metering to get the system up and running. I would definitely recommend Bright Eye Solar for cost effective professional services along with these helpful links: http://www.solarpaneltalk.com and http://www.gosolarcalifornia.ca.gov/equipment/pv_modules.php

Sunny disposition!

Jim worked with us to give a number of options to get us the best value within our budget. The crews were clean, prompt and very polite. Workmanship was very professional.

Successful Installation

Jim and the guys at Bright Eye Solar were a pleasure to work with. We ran into a few issues with scheduling and inspections but they made good on all of their promises (sometimes complications are unavoidable!) They were quick to respond to emails and questions and, even better, are STILL quick to respond and happy to help now that the sale and installation process is complete.

Excellent service

James and his co-workers were very professional, and obviously very competent. He worked with us very well from the very start. The work was completed within a few days, and we have had no problems/complaints. Our solar panels work great, and are consistently producing electricity.

Brighteye Solar Review

Very good support. Still haven't sorted through the sale of credits but that is due to the complicated system used in PA.

Brighteye Solar Review

The enthusiasm and detailed explanation made Brighteye Solar the right choice. The use of American made products was an added bonus.

Jim and Bright Eye Solar were very professional from beginning to end. I appreciate the time Jim took to explain the entire process of solar energy and its benefits, as well as being easily contacted throughout the installation process. I`m already noticing the financial benefits of my solar electic system and am very happy we decided to go with Bright Eye Solar!
