Building Energy - Profile & Reviews

We chose Building Energy to install solar panels at our home in Burlington, VT in 2016. Having received an estimate the previous year from another company, we were pleased that the proposal from BE was approximately 50% less. Our contact with BE was Nic Ponzio. He came to our house to gather information on our needs then returned with a detailed proposal and answered all the questions we had. The installation was done by a local electrical contractor, Cummings Electric, and supervised every step of the way by Nic. We were up and running immediately, with access to a monitoring portal from SolarEdge.

We have not had any technical problems with the equipment in the last year. However, the meter had to be reconfigured since we wanted the solar credits to go directly to our daughter and son-in-law in the house next door. Building Energy took the lead on making this happen and helped with our negotiations with Burlington Electric, the local utility. Though it took a while to get this straightened out, we were pleased that BE stuck with us and again supervised the work.

We have been extremely please with the work of BE and impressed with their level of technical expertise and the transparency of their communication. Highly recommended.

The solar install was excellent and has worked well, exceeding or meeting projections. Building Energy (Nik) has been responsive when there has been a problem he was "auto-notified" of such as the internet getting disconnected. There has only been one legitimate problem, one of the inverters I think, in the 7 years this has been operational.

Building Energy was very professional in the entire process from initial visit to proposals/changes and then scheduling the final installation and an excellent job of the actual installation

Very happy from beginning to end. The process and equipment was explained clearly, the work was done well and cleanly/professionally, all went according to plan.
