“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!”

“These guys were so awesome! They came back on a Saturday morning to finish up something, and who does that??? They were some of the only providers that we could even find to remove and reinstall my roof solar panels so I could get a new roof put on, but I was not disappointed! They were so nice, accommodating, efficient and hardworking…I will sing their praises as soon as I figure out a nice tune that goes with “Brda, Brda, what skillful electricians, what great customer service!” I am now busy thinking of more things I need them to do!”

What types of solar systems does Brda Electric install?-+
We install rooftop, ground-mount and carport solar systems, and can integrate battery storage and EV charging infrastructure.
Can Brda service a system installed by another company?-+
Yes. Brda’s solar electricians can support systems installed by other providers, including maintenance, upgrades, and removal/reinstallation.
How long does solar panel removal and reinstallation take?-+
Solar system installation times depend largely on project scale and complexity. Inspection, design, permitting, utility approval, and on-site work may add up to multiple weeks, but the actual install typically only takes one to two days. Learn more about home solar installation.
Do I need a solar electrician for panel removal, or can a roofer do it?-+
A licensed solar electrician is required. Solar removal involves electrical wiring and code compliance, and roofers aren’t trained or insured for that work.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance for solar systems?-+
Yes. Brda provides inspections, cleaning, and performance checks to ensure systems operate as designed.
Will removing my solar panels void my warranty?-+
It depends on your original agreement, but Brda’s licensed electricians complete removal and reinstallation to manufacturer and code standards to help maintain warranty coverage. Always check your contract.
Can I go solar without buying the equipment?-+
Yes. Qualified homeowners may be eligible for a solar lease or power purchase agreement (PPA) with little to no upfront cost. Instead of owning the panels, you pay for the electricity the system produces while the system owner handles maintenance and monitoring.
How does a solar lease or PPA payment work?-+
Your monthly payment is based on the amount of electricity the system generates, not the equipment itself. In many cases, the rate is designed to be competitive with or lower than traditional utility pricing.
Who owns and maintains the PPA solar system?-+
Under most leasing or PPA arrangements, a third-party provider owns the system. They are responsible for monitoring, maintenance and performance, while Brda Electric installs the system and ensures it meets all safety and electrical requirements.
