Its one and two star share is 2 points above the typical installer in the Toms River area. Across New Jersey, 98 of the 237 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 129 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

    Unfortunately, my dealings with Sea Bright have not been positive. Prior to living in this house, they knowingly installed solar panels on top of 3 layers of roof (building code violations). My roof needs to be replaced and they are charging $1500 to remove and replace the solar panels that they improperly installed to begin with. When I questioned this ridiculous charge, I was told that rules were different then (6 years ago). Nope, they weren't. I have no choice but to give them $1500 in order to get my roof replaced. Wonderful scam of the consumer. At this point, I would never recommend Sun

    I was introduced to this company by a co-worker when I told him I was in the market for solar panels. Everything started out great while they vetted my business. My rep was great. It went south once Danielle left the company in August. Communication suffered, they were unre-responsive at time...had to go back and forth with them over the signing bonus that I was promised etc. Signing bonus took nearly 7 weeks to be "mailed out" and I still haven't received it. Once they have your signed agreement you get treated differently. I wish Danielle stayed and the customer service dint walk out the doo

    A guy wearing a ratty SunPower t-shirt tried to solicit us on a Sunday night at 5:30 pm... KNOWING darn well that we had SunRun solar doing an install the very next morning!!! AND he was STILL persistent about us cancelling the SunRun install. Terrible business ethics. Totally unprofessional and onboxish!

    Having worked for a major utility as a senior energy advisor I have a good understanding of the benefits of solar power and am knowledgeable on how to select contractors. I chose Bright Solar because of their strong knowledge to manage a solar installation project from concept to design and through the NYC building department code compliance requirements. My solar panels were installed in 2019 and I have been extremely pleased with the performance.

    Great panels, I’ve been a net exporter of energy for a few years now!

    They were easy to work with and detailed. At every step of the project, I knew exactly what to expect. I highly recommend Sea Bright and, in particular, their outstanding sales rep, Michael Greenberg.

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.

  • Financing

    “at affordable prices with an array of financing options. Explore Residential Solutions…”
  • Established

    “to coast save money—and the planet! Since 2003, Sea Bright Solar has helped…”

Its website also mentions warranty and free estimate, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on ConsumerAffairs and the Better Business Bureau. 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.

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.
