Big Sky Solar & Electric

Each mark is one company we hold in Montana whose Google breakdown has been read, placed by its share of one and two star reviews. Big Sky Solar & Electric is the red one. The amber line is the middle of that set, which includes suppliers and maintenance businesses as well as installers.

  Not willing to do warranty work for warranty cost and rude about it as well. Steven has poor customer service and should maybe find someone else to do the customer service portion until he has his normal lady back. Paid them to fix an issue with my solar. The Issue came back within a month and he tried to tell me it would cost a bunch just to clear the same error code since tesla wouldn't do it over the phone.

  This is a few months overdue but my wife and I purchased a house in January and we’ve needed to hire a few tradesmen for a few different projects above our capabilities.

  We looked to Big Sky Solar to add to a 10 year old roof top solar array which was installed by a local company that no longer works in this area.

The office staff was most helpful and all permitting and interfacing with the utility company was

Topics Google derives from the review text, with how often each appears. A frequent topic is not a good one: “price” turns up in praise and in complaints alike.

Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.

Its website also mentions years in business, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

• It posts on Instagram and Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

The ones without a link have no page here, either because Google does not categorise them as solar businesses or because we could not match the name to a listing with confidence.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.

• —The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
• —We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
• —We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
