About Brda Electric

Overview

We help homes and businesses go solar, add battery backup, install EV charging, upgrade panels, and tackle electrical improvements. You’ll get clear pricing, tidy workmanship, and one team that handles the permits and utility paperwork. If your original solar installer closed, we can adopt and maintain your system so it keeps performing.

Brda Electric is a local, family‑owned team with 35+ years in business. We design and install with our own licensed electricians (no subcontractors) and tailor every system to your roof, usage, and goals—whether that’s backup power, bill savings, or resilience. We manage permits, interconnection, and HOA approvals, then set up monitoring and provide ongoing service and maintenance.

Reasons Why You Should Work With Us

  1. Reliable & established. Local, family-owned since 1989. We are not a pop-up solar company and we never use sub contractors. We have an in-house crew and long-term support.

  2. Quality you can see. Neat wiring and installations that pass inspection the first time.

  3. Easy process. We handle the details—site design, permits, utility coordination—and we’re responsive after your system is turned on.

Approved EnergySage badge

Approved installers passed our rigorous screening criteria for experience, licensing, and positive reviews.

We speak

English

We’re a local, family-owned contractor—no subcontractors. Our own electricians install your system and we stay with you for service and support for years.
We show up on time, keep the site tidy, explain options in plain English, and follow through. If something needs attention later, we answer the phone and make it right. Check out our Google Reviews, they speak for themselves.
Every install is done by our licensed, in-house crew. We use proper roof flashing, clean conduit runs, clear labeling, and we pull permits and test everything before we leave.
Most homes are installed in about 1–2 days once permits and utility approvals are ready. Overall timelines vary by project scale, local permitting, and utility review—we keep you updated at each step.
Start with a quick consult and custom design, then we manage permits and utility approvals. Our crew installs, we coordinate inspection and permission to operate, and we show you how to monitor your system.
Yes—modern panels still generate under clouds or light snow, just at reduced output. Pairing solar with a battery keeps essentials powered regardless of weather.
Roof material, pitch, and shade all matter. Many St. Louis homes qualify (we average 200+ sunny days a year), and if a roof isn’t ideal, a ground mount can be a great alternative. We’ll run a shade analysis to confirm.
It depends on equipment, roof layout, project complexity, permitting, and available incentives. We’ll tailor options and pricing to your home after a quick assessment.
Very little—usually occasional cleaning and inverter checks. In St. Louis, rainfall often handles routine dust; if production drops ~5%+ for a week or more, a cleaning may help.
