Why Only a Licensed Electrician Should Handle Your Solar Panels
Many homeowners consider roofers for solar panel removal, but roofers aren’t trained for live electrical systems. Solar panels are sensitive electronics wired to your home’s service panel, so only licensed solar electricians should handle them. Improper removal risks voided warranties, damaged equipment, and electrical hazards.

Hear From Happy Homeowners
“I can’t say enough good things about Brda Electric and the work they did on my solar panels. I have owned a system for a couple of years that was purchased from an out-of-state company that’s now out of business, and I only wish I had found Brda first. They helped me design a more efficient layout and moved a bunch of our panels so that the system is now producing twice as well as it was prior. I am 100% satisfied and Brda gets my highest recommendation!”

“Brda did a great job with my rooftop solar install. It was a simple and easy process. Any questions I had were answered quickly and fully. The primary installer was thorough and knowledgeable. I would recommend their services for any electrical work you might have. Thanks everyone!”

“Great company and service if you’d like to install a solar panel system! I am satisfied with their service and enjoying the sun energy now!”

“Brda Electric showed up right on time to clean our solar panels. The panels looked clean to me, but obviously were not, as once the cleaning was done our output increased by about 25%! They also installed modules for our older inverters that will allow us to monitor the panels remotely. They were very knowledgeable on the solar panels and did a great job overall. They also installed a whole house surge protector that I had been wanting to do for some time. Great work and would highly recommend Brda Electric.”
