John Bleem was an exceptional solar contractor who demonstrated very competent professionalism and great knowledge with his trade. His initial task for me was to replace an old, failed inverter, but after that planned project was not successful in restoring my home solar power, he promptly came back the next day to resolve the problem by completely re-wiring and re-configuring the solar panels stings leading to the inverter which ultimately succeeded. Throughout the project, he expressed great enthusiasm and friendliness, always with a positive "can do" attitude. I would be proud to seek, as well as recommend, his professional help in the future.
John kept adding charges to finish the job. He does not honor his contract. I don’t recommend him at all. Paid $6k for 6 panels when the original quote was $5500.
My personal experience with this company was exceptionally positive. John Bleem, the owner of the company, was called upon to correct a botched commercial electrical panel upgrade (previously done by non-licensed sub) for a 4-unit building. (3 units with added ADU). He and his crew were extremely responsive and diligent. (They worked on and through Easter Sunday as an example.). They were professional, courteous and dedicated to getting the job done. I was particularly impressed with John’s ability to assess the problems (and my concerns) and then to resolve them, getting the project to pass the final electrical inspection in just under a week, after weeks and weeks of frustration. I would absolutely recommend John for his skilled, responsible, courteous, and professional services.
I would definitely recommend John and his crew at Innovative Electric Solar. They did a great Job From start to finish. John completely went above and beyond my expectations. They were all very professional, knowledgeable, efficient, kind, honest and dependable. If I had questions, he had answers without hesitation and he was able to explain and communicate all the answers clearly so that I could understand everything I needed to know about the solar panel system they installed. John and his crew were able to get the solar powered system up and running within days. He even upgraded and installed a completly brand new electric panel with breakers as well. The panels from Enphase look great and they have micro inverters which is definitely a better solution compared to others. He made sure my solar panel system was on a remote network so that the panels are actually being monitored so we know the panels are working properly. I know if I ever have a question about anything that has to do with Solar Powered Systems, John and everyone at Innovative Electric Solar are definitely our "go to" people in the Solar Industry.
John was great throughout the process. Pricing was more than fair, he went above and beyond to make sure to troubleshoot and address all my electrical needs and had a special pride in the quality of his workmanship that is rare. I won’t hesitate to call Innovative Electric Solar back to my home, highly recommend!
