Been wanting to write a review of BMC Solar to share what a fantastic experience we had from first phone call through planning, installation and then county inspection... our solar is up and running and every part of working with folks at BMC has been terrific. After spending three weeks conferring with several large and small solar companies, reviewing multiple proposals and educating ourselves about panels, inverters, and battery back up systems we mentioned to the roofer we selected (Chris Wilder - Weathermaster Roofing - another fantastic contractor) that the solar proposals and cost breakdowns were mind boggling and how it would be great to consult with someone knowledgeable about solar who wasn't trying to sell us a system. We were able to connect right away with Brian of BMC Solar and his close to 30 years of experience in the solar industry has been a godsend! He didn't try to sell us a system... he helped educate us about solar and even came out just to check out our setting to better advise us. His knowledge and commitment to solar was quickly apparent and we asked him for a proposal which turned out to be much more affordable and better tailored to our setting and needs than any of the other four we'd received. He was able to fit us in quickly due to a cancellation and his team came out and did amazing, quality work! Having a brand new roof we were nervous about having solar installed and possibility of leaks - while his electrical guys dealt with the installation and hookup of the inverter, another wonderful member of the team with many years of experience as a roofer went up and did all work related to the securing of the panels to our new roof. These guys clearly know what they are doing, care about the quality of their work and the satisfaction of their customers. The project was installed in short order, quickly passed county inspection and all needed paperwork for SDGE to shift us to net metering happened right away and we have been up and running generating energy ever since! Our setting has some issues with reception and BMC was diligent in finding the best way to make the system communicate so that we are able to monitor production with ease from a cell phone. Received our first net metering "bill" from SDGE and even with only 16 days of solar on that bill our energy needs were met. Our system isn't oversized or undersized, we didn't pay for unnecessary bells whistles and unnecessary panels... we could not be more delighted with the fantastic experience we've had and recommend Brian and his company without any reservations! read more
