Hi,

Has anyone heard of a company called Bright Power? One of our Board Members has been in contact with them regarding Solar Electric. They seem a little too eager (initially reminds me of a pre-crisis mortgage lender a little). Has anyone dealt with them before and if so, how were they?

Thanks,

Steve

They had contacted our building last year. Everything sounded good - no cost installation and maintenance of panels, they would charge us a fixed flat rate guaranteed to be less or equal to Con Ed rates, and they would profit from excess power being sold back to Con Ed. After they did a site visit, we never heard back from them. Emails, phone calls, no response. No explanation.

I remember seeing a year or two ago an interactive online map based on a survey done by a City department which showed how much sunlight every roof in NYC received and estimating how much electricity solar panels could generate. You might try to find it and use it as a starting point if you're considering installing solar panels.
