Its one and two star share is 22 points above the typical installer in Wisconsin. Across Wisconsin, 9 of the 58 installers whose breakdown Google has published carry a higher share than this one.

The percentages are Google’s own arithmetic over every review it holds, not a sample we assembled. Separately we hold 5 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

    6 months of back and forth with the building inspector over a simple permit has amounted to the electrician withdrawing from the project leaving my project hanging after he was contracted to complete the installation from a solar company which had gone out of business. This solar project has been a nightmare from day 1 and has been made much more difficult by the electrician at bright skies. I will be filing a lawsuit to collect damages from this company in addition to contacting the BBB.

    Had quite some delay getting help with my repairs from previous company. Bright Skies call me within an hour to make initial contact and carried that exceptional pace throughout repairs to my system. Aric answered all my questions and showed proof everything was ok before he left. You hope you never have to use a warranty on products you buy, but when you do, companies like Bright Skies really make the process go smoothly.Thank you! Would definitely recommend.

    Bright Skies didn't install my system but I wish they had! My original installer got bought out and then went bankrupt, all of which I found out from Aric Metz at Bright Sky when he called to kindly offer to take over maintenance of my system. He found out there was a malfunctioning panel and worked hard to get warranty coverage from the manufacturer, and when that didn't work he fixed it himself (for free!) when he was in the neighborhood. He offered great advice about expanding our system after we get an electric car, and when we do he will get our business!

    We have been very, very pleased with Bright Skies Solar. They were super helpful when capacity and structural planning, and throughout the process of installing our solar system several years ago. I loved that they helped us understand all aspects of the financing and tax incentives at the time as well, so we didn't have any surprises. Post installation, the solar system has always performed as expected. The one time that a component failed, the owner called THAT DAY to let us know that he had noticed the failure through remote monitoring and had a replacement part on the way. Super impressive

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.

What the company says about itself

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 warranty, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

    As Google published them when we last read the listing, not a live check. Ring before you drive anywhere.

    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.

    What we don't know

    • 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.

    Something wrong here? Tell us and a person will read it.
