Solar Consultant Dan Degler did an excellent job in explaining the Bright Eye Solar System. We were pleased with the courtesy and efficiency of the work crew who installed the system. We also appreciated the prompt replies to questions from all staff members.We would recommend this company.

I started gathering quotes for our solar install back in April '21. Bright Eye was one of 6 quotes I got and, while not being the cheapest per kW, earned my business through the honest and forthright conversations I had with Josh. Josh priced out several different configurations of panels and inverters for me and we ultimately ended up going with Silfab 330's and Enphase IQ7+ microinverters. Our project got delayed a few months at no fault of BES, which ended up being a good thing as the 330's were discontinued and Silfab launched the Elite line which offers 2% better efficiency. The contract was signed in August for 30 Silfab 370's/Enphase IQ7+ for an 11.1 kW system. Working with Yvette through the contract, utility interconnection, inspections, etc. was a breeze. She was quick to respond to my emails and answered any questions I had. In September, Josh reached out offering an upgrade to Silfab 380's (I assume due to supply issues) which bumped the size up to 11.4kW and dropped the cost to a respectable $2.58/kW. Austin, the project manager, contacted me to schedule the install which began in December and took three full days. Email responses were a bit slow, but I'll chalk it up to Austin being out of office at job sites. RJ was the lead on the install team and Adam was the electrician. Both were pleasant to work with and answered any questions I had. On day one RJ let me know that the original plans to only use the upper dormer on my house wasn't going to work with the 380's and they would have to use the lower dormer above my garage. Not an issue to me, but something I thought could have been recognized before the crew was on the roof. In the end, they made it work. On the last day of install, I was told that the Enphase Envoy combiner was MIA and they wouldn't be able to finish the install until that came in. This took another week and a half come in, but they were out at the house quickly to get it up and running. Yvette and Austin got the inspections scheduled and everything passed just fine. One thing we learned was that Lebanon County actually requires scheduling of separate electrical and building inspections and they don't just schedule both at the same time. MetEd was quick to get the Net Meter installed and we had official Permission to Operate within two weeks of install completion. All in all, my experience with BES was quite good and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality local installer with a good track record and great customer service. Thanks to BES we will be cranking out more juice than we will use for years to come!

BrightEye Solar installed my system (29 panels, 9.57 kW) in early September 2021, so it has been up and running for almost five months. My journey into solar started on a whim, and I ended up getting nine different quotes before choosing BrightEye. In the end, no one else came close in terms of customer service, price, production, hardware, etc. BrightEye seemed to have it all, but I wanted to wait to write a review until I had plenty of time to see the whole picture. In short, I couldn’t be more pleased. Everyone at BrightEye has been fantastic to work with. Josh, the consultant that I worked with from day 1, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and he answered all of my dozens of my questions. I can’t thank Yvette and Annette enough for all of their support, and I even had the pleasure of speaking with the CEO, Jim. The electricians and installers were great, and their work was impeccable. The team was even able to get approval from the utility company for a special request that I had regarding placement of the outside disconnect panel. Now for the system. I went with the Enphase microinverters as opposed to a string inverter. They cost a bit more, but they have a 25-year warranty, and I like being able to see what each panel is producing throughout the day. I watch the Enphase Enlighten app all day (especially on sunny days), and I love all of the info that it provides. I was told that I would likely have a couple of electricity bills during the winter months since the system wasn’t installed until September. The system produced enough from September through November so that I had enough kWh banked to get me through December and January, and I will easily have enough to get me through February as well. The electricity production has far exceeded my expectations. Back to the customer service: Earlier this morning (on a snowy Saturday), I checked the app and noticed that four of the microinverters weren’t reporting data. I emailed Adam at BrightEye, and the issue was corrected in less than five minutes. The service after the sale is as impressive as everything else with this company. I can’t recommend BrightEye highly enough, and I tell everyone that I know about them.

I recently had Bright Eye Solar install their system on my roof. The sales staff was knowledgeable and quick to reply to all my inquiries. The installation was well done and the system was producing power within a week of the installation start date. I had three reputable quotes on this job and they won my business due to their 5 year system production quarantee that none of the other companies felt comfortable offering. Bright Eye Solar took care of everything and I couldn't be more pleased!

This is our story of installing a small residential solar system with a large electric grid supplier in a municipality of few such installations. At the beginning we knew nothing, yet we had a long strong history of working with restoration and building contractors, but this was a new rodeo! We realized the challenges of getting unbiased information about a solar installation; its reliable components; its financial aspects (beginning to end); product and installers’ warranties; and dealing with municipality codes, electric grid net metering procedures, tax credit, and SRECs. While there are a number of internet sites claiming to help, many are either installers with their own particular services, financial come-ons, and system products, or “ANGI” type sites who have collected such installers. There are YouTube presentations, but again there might be agendas by presenters, rather than unbiased info. We found UnderstandSolar.com and SolarUnitedNeighbors.org to be comprehensive and helpful. We researched and gathered information, then we developed installer interview standards and questions, as well as objectives and particulars wanted within our contract with any installer. Now we reach out to installers. While we would have preferred to support local installers, the email/text responses cascade in from both ‘national’ installers and from ‘ANGI’ sites. Ironically, even though our some of our local installers are members of ‘ANGI’ site, none of them are passed to us. The nearest installer offered was 200 miles away…ah service from a distance “when we get enough clients in your area, we’ll contact you”. SOLUTION: Reach out to our Real Estate and banking folks…ah, let’s get local! We were recommended to BRIGHTEYE SOLAR, LLC… “We went with Josh cuz we knew the family and he did our first business system, but BRIGHTEYE SOLAR offered a better price, warranty, and service, you should check them out.” After interviewing five other local installers (within 30 miles), each addressing, as best they could or wanted to, our interview standards and contract wishes, BRIGHTEYE SOLAR’s Dan showed not only his personal and professional attention to us, but also confirmed that BRIGHTEYE SOLAR does the same. Our initial meetings with Dan were followed up with email and phone question/answer sessions. At contract signing time we met with the company’s owner Jim to create and agree with a mutually constructed comprehensive contract and system proposal (location, components, warranties, time-lines, follow-ups, etc.). Within two weeks a knowledgeable crew of Adam (electro-tech), R.J. and Sam carefully explained and completed the 17 PV panel installation in two days. They kept the work site clean, orderly and made adjustments based on our on-site preferences, which did not violate the site plans provided to us by BRIGHTEYE SOLAR’s client contact Yvette. Yvette expertly resolved all the inspections, net metering contracts, and SREC contracts with continued email/phone contact with us. Project manager Austin confirmed the system’s effectiveness on day 2 of installation; was present for municipal site inspections (passed); and effectively established the system internet monitoring, and its net metering with the SREC service. So, the story’s continues…we did the necessary homework; determined what we wanted in a system and who we wanted to work with based on shared criteria; went through the people processes to find a firm, which was personable, professional, accommodating, comprehensive its service and communication; and followed through with integrity to our system’s completion. Don’t believe us…go with BRIGHTEYE SOLAR. Ask them for our contact so you can verify our solar success story… we await your contact!

After researching several companies large and small I chose Bright Eye Solar. I made the correct choice. From the beginning of information gathering process, through the cost analysis, and the system design, the representatives were helpful and courteous. I didn’t feel pressured to make a commitment. Bright Eye Solar explained the entire process including SREC’s, financing options, equipment options, and the installation process. Bright Eye Solar worked well with my utility company (PP&L) and my local building inspector. Representatives provide updates throughout the project remaining in constant communication via email and phone conversations. My 43 panel system is performing above expectations. I have the folks Bright Eye Solar to thank.

We purchased a complete solar generation system from Bright Eye in 2016. Since startup we have generated over 30 MW of electricity. The first impression of Bright Eye was the personal involvement of Jim Noden (CEO) and the fact that we were not dealing with big business America or China. Jim actually got on our roof with instruments to provide an estimate of expected power generation. The installation process was quick and efficient with perfect workmanship by two friendly installers. During hurricane IDA we had a roof leak into a finished room. Since our roof was only 5 years old we decided to call Bright Eye to investigate. Jim and an installer were here in the next morning and found and corrected a problem that had nothing to do with the solar panels. That's what we call SERVICE. Opening the electric bill is actually fun now.

WYSIWYG -what do you see is what you get. Bright eye Solar has delivered as promised. We have enjoyed our experience with this company and look forward to the savings we will realize with their quality product.
