Reviews

What customers say

Customers praise the knowledgeable, friendly team and the prompt answers and guidance they received through the process. One customer calls the installation crew phenomenal, but reports that four shaded panels were not performing to design; CBI agreed to meet in a year to evaluate the system and potentially move them.

Customer Reviews

Anna Henry

We got solar installed earlier this year and CBI is an outstanding company to work with. Their team is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly at every level—from the receptionist who answers the phone to the technicians on the roof and the sales staff. After shopping around, CBI was the clear choice due to their local presence, established reputation, and trustworthiness. Any questions we had throughout the process were addressed promptly and thoroughly. They guided us through each step with care and professionalism, and we would highly recommend CBI to anyone considering solar. Thank you, CBI!

This team is incredible! Mark is very knowledgeable and has detailed information about the off grid products and their installation. He knows a variety of uses and combinations of the gear to best suit their capabilities and my needs. I really found the team exceptionally helpful. Massive shout out to Eric for the diligence, detailed, and timely work on my truck. Highly highly recommend!

Living Light RV

Solar installs on RVs done right! Getting the job done great, the first time, these guys nail it. Right product, right price, first time. Followup is amazing and tech service can't be beat. Go with these pros.

Colin Campbell

80% recommend CBI......the installation crew was phenomenal. The design crew needs some attention. I have 4 panels that are shaded alot and not performing to design. I would have rather had a smaller system performing at 80% than a larger system at 70%. They have agreed to meeting with me in a year to evaluate and potentially move the shaded panels. I will post more in one year as to the outcome. Stay tuned. Colin Campbell

From start to finish my experience with CBI was world class. I sat down with Luke, asked him 20 questions. He had 20 answers. I knew right away I didn’t need to go get any other quotes. My Friend got three. He went with CBI too after me. They guide you through the grant process. They answer your questions quickly. Very transparent about everything. When it came to installation Mani was great. I watched him like a Hawk. He didn’t care. He showed me the cutting edge anchors they use so your roof never leaks. The products they use are top notch. From the rails to the panels. They are a local company for me. In this day and age that’s super important. But I know they have done many projects out of town. I can’t say enough. I could go on and on and on but I’m sure I’ve lost a few readers already. Thanks CBI. Oh as well the app is phenomenal. It’s a toy. You get to check on your phone how much power you’re making… thanks again.
