Its one and two star share is 9 points above the typical installer in San Jose. Across California, 352 of the 1,529 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 30 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

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

    The service from José Angulo, one of their salespeople, was terrible. He makes promises, but once he convinces you to sign, he doesn't deliver. He doesn't even answer calls or messages. I really don't recommend him. I'm already paying for the panels and the local electricity company, and they're still not working. I hope you don't deal with this person because he's completely unprofessional.

    Shady business practices, at least the Fresno affiliate. Would not get solar installed from a company breaking the law today-- they won't be around tomorrow when it fails.

    We've partnered with Bright World as our preferred solar vendor here at my insurance agency because of the high quality of character and competency we found in evaluating their business both customer facing and behind the scenes. BW is a first class operation, not without it's flaws as every company has, but their response to any adverse circumstances has always left me impressed.

    Very happy to have finally decided to purchase Solar Panels for my home. Bright World offered my a bundle deal wish included installation of a new roof and Central A/C unit. Mr. Manuel Aguirre, Energy Advisor, is always available and willing to answer follow-up questions. Mr. Aguirre is very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Happy to be doing business with Bright World!!!

    Joseph Mata and his helper Cane, were very helpful and patient with my husband and I, they were even willing to9iiìiiùùií8 explain the different choices we had to choose from for financing a solar system. They were very polite and knowledgeable about their product.

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.

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on Yelp. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.

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

Who Google shows alongside them

Google’s own “people also viewed” set, in Google’s order. It is Google’s comparison, not ours.

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.

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 found nothing on a website for this company that states a warranty, a licence or how long it has traded.
  • 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.
