Our project was quite unique and faced a very challenging schedule to be completed by the end of the calendar year. From the beginning the Brighten Solar Team embraced the unique characteristics and challenges of our project. The Team’s flexibility and willingness to try something new was greatly appreciated. Brighten's field installation team recognized the urgent time constraints we were under in order to complete our installation before the end of the calendar year. They worked efficiently, effectively and at an extremely high pace of productivity. They also worked extremely well together effectively complimenting each other’s strengthens, and always communicating in a very professional and cordial manner while working under stressful conditions. The Team's focus on our needs and desired outcomes were always front and center. I would highly recommend the Brighten Solar Team if you are considering installing a PV Solar and Battery system on your home or business.

Brighten Solar's customer service, expertise, and attention to detail earn them a five-star review.

The team at Brighten are experienced and professional. They helped us design a system that met our current needs, as well as future-proof the system for additional demand as we replace aging appliances over time. The design process was always grounded in their considerable experience, and we never felt pressured. Brighten was sure to include options so that we could install solar within our budget.

I want to highlight their installation expertise. The installation included upgrading our service panel, and the team that did the work did a clean and professional install. More importantly, the roof on our mid-century modern home left little room for error when it came time to install the mounts for the solar panels. The Brighten Team was careful, thoughtful, and methodical, resulting in an installation that preserved the integrity of the roof, as well as being aesthetically pleasing.

In fact, our neighbor was initially concerned about how the panels would look from their second story. After the job was done, they withdrew their concerns because it looked clean, as if the panels had always been there.

Deciding to go solar is a great decision for many reasons, but it is a big decision and big investment. You will be in very good hands with Brighten, and you won't regret the benefits when your solar system comes online.

Since receiving permission to operate from Edison, our system has performed as expected, further proving that Brighten knows what they are doing.

We are absolutely thrilled to have our solar system up and running. Communication throughout the entire was on on point. We knew when things were going to happen from the initial meet and great to the final inspection of the system. Everything was clearly laid out and followed through. They respected our property and made sure to clean everything up and left our yard immaculate. Even after the installation was done, they kept in touch and made sure everything was submitted properly with the electrical company and our PTO was completed. The system is super easy to understand and now we just have to wait to see what happens over the next 25 years of ownership. Because they are a local company, I have no worries about the system going down for any extended amount of time. Highly recommended if you want a professional installer, top notch customer support, and want to support a local company.

Brighten Solar exceeded our expectations. After comparing several Santa Barbara installers, they stood out for professionalism and transparency. Peter quickly refreshed our proposal after a year’s delay and clearly explained ROI and break-even. We chose a 10 kW Silfab + Enphase system with battery storage, installed flawlessly in two days by Jeremy and Quentin’s teams. The Enphase app makes tracking solar output and battery use easy and fun. Highly recommend Brighten Solar for anyone in Santa Barbara or Ventura seeking a trustworthy, top-notch local company.
