#375 of 678 scored in California by Solar.com Installer Score

How does B N V Electric compare where you live? Rankings are local; an installer that leads one city can trail in the next. See how they rank in your city →

Why this differs from star ratings: most five-star reviews say “great company” and stop, and star averages reward that. These category scores only count reviews with concrete evidence, weighted by recency and the reviewer’s track record. A company can hold a strong star average while specific categories score lower; that gap is usually where the real story is. Categories with more complaints than praise are the questions worth asking any bidder, not necessarily dealbreakers.

Where B N V Electric builds

County-by-county activity from CPUC records through May 2026.

What this data covers: *Counts on this page, including the totals up top, come from investor-owned-utility interconnection records (SCE, SDG&E, PG&E). Work in municipal-utility territory, such as LADWP or city utilities, and outside California does not appear here, so this company's true totals are higher than shown. Unlike the county rankings, this profile also shows counties below the 250-install ranking floor.

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.8/10

Transparent value. Reviewers describe a recurring pattern in this area. Representative review excerpt: "Prior to engaging BNV, I conducted an extensive review of approximately twenty different quotes for our own solar system, and BNV emerged as the clear leader in both quality and..."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.5/10

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship8.0/10

This is one of the strongest-rated areas in the review set. Reviewers consistently describe professional crews, careful work, and clean installations, with no notable complaint pattern in the evidence reviewed.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support6.0/10

Post-install and long-term support reviews are positive, but this category is less developed than the others. Reviewers who mention it describe systems performing well and say the team helped resolve issues after installation, though the evidence base is smaller.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Good system performance. Reviewers report that installed systems look great and perform as expected after completion. Representative review excerpt: "The installation was smooth, completed on schedule, and the system looks great and performs perfectly."

Issue resolution after install. One reviewer said the team quickly replaced damaged components and checked the breaker before finishing the job. Representative review excerpt: "He worked quickly to replace the damaged components and even went the extra mile to ensure the circuit breaker was functioning correctly before finishing the job."

Smaller evidence base. The post-install evidence is positive, but there are fewer reviews here than in installation and communication categories, so the score should be read with that limited sample in mind. Representative review excerpt: "Bryce and team run a professional outfit ably supported by Vanessa."

Bottom line: Across 23 substantive Google reviews, B N V ELECTRIC earns a generally positive profile, with especially strong feedback on workmanship, communication, and timeline reliability. Sales transparency and pricing are also described favorably in the available evidence, while long-term support and performance are positive but based on a smaller review sample.

Important context: this chart shows investor-owned-utility records only. Companies that shift work toward municipal-utility territory (LADWP and city power departments) or other states will show declining bars here even while building steadily elsewhere, and 2025-26 records also lag real installation dates. Treat this as a partial window, not the company's full trajectory.

How we built this data

Methodology: Counts are residential PV interconnections in investor-owned-utility territory (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) per CPUC Rule 21 public records through May 2026. Postal and name variants are merged. Municipal utility territory such as LADWP, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Anaheim, and Riverside Public Utilities is not included in those CPUC counts. Counts show recorded installations, not quality ratings. Reported costs are self-reported on owned-system interconnections. No installer can pay for placement.

Who we are: Solar.com is a solar marketplace — we connect homeowners with installers and earn a fee when projects move forward. These rankings and scores are computed from public installation records and published customer reviews. No installer can pay for placement, and no installer — including those we work with — can pay to change a score.
