Brighten Solar has been superb throughout the whole process of helping me choose the best design for my solar system, installing everything, handling the paper work, and continuing to service the system for decades. I looked at other companies, but ultimately chose Brighten due to all of their 5 star rating and the fact that they are local. I had a problem with the system this week, and Brighten had someone at my house by 9:00 AM. He worked tirelessly until the problem was solved. If you live in the Santa Barbara area, you have to choose Brighten for your solar needs.

In Feb/Mar 2023, I began the effort to add solar to my house just before the N.M. 2.0 cut-off in April. After getting a few local quotes, Brighten Solar stood out 'heads above the rest' with best pricing, a very professional quote, good answers to all my questions, and a feeling that they'd be the ones to be able to get N.M. 2.0 approval before the April cutoff. Within 1 month’s time, the contract was signed, plans were submitted to both the county and SCE, and NM 2.0 approval was granted!! Because of EXTENSIVE solar submittals in SB just prior to the NM 2.0 cutoff (mine included), and a ton of newly garnered business at Brighten, their install was somewhat delayed, but this was fine with me since they succeeded in getting me in under the 2.0 wire. Now that the install is behind me, I wanted to report how flawless the complete process was working with Brighten. Everyone I communicated with was extremely professional and timely with their business, and even Jeremy (the COO) got involved with many of the process details, including personally answering many questions I had that came up over this solar project. He always had understandable answers to my questions, and was always quick to get back. There were also many others within the Brighten organization that assisted with all aspects of the project, making it easy and less complex for the customer. The install was completed within 1 day, was professionally done, the technicians were clean and organized with their tasks, and they even ran the solar panel power through the attic space so I do not have exposed conduit running across my roof!! ☺ The final commissioning of the solar system was also flawless. Jeremy was actually the one that came to the house and assisted me with system start-up, Enphase App review and use, and answered any last questions I had. He also presented me with a complete binder of ALL documentation generated over the project’s time-line that I can use for future tax rebate purposes, etc….an unexpected bonus! I’ve already started recommending Brighten to friends and family that are in the market for solar/battery systems, as my experience with them was stellar. If I ever end up adding a battery system to my house, Brighten will be the one to call! Larry Switzer

The team at Brighten Solar is beyond compare. They have old fashioned values, like show up on time and do what you say you are going to do. Since we installed our system in 2021, we haven’t paid a dime to SCE. You will not be disappointed with Brighten!
