The combination of funding from the William G. and Marie Selby Foundation and the installation by Brilliant Harvest has not only allowed Sarasota Audubon to reach Gold-level status for LEED certification but has also, more importantly, fulfilled our goal of sustainability at our new Nature Center.” “Brilliant Harvest worked through multiple design concepts to find the best solution for our project, then executed the installation quickly and professionally. The team was capable, knowledgeable, and easily adapted to the few inevitable bumps that cropped up during the project. Our electric bills have dropped dramatically — nearly $200/month. On those hot days when the sun is beating down, I find relief in popping open the solar monitoring app and seeing all the power (and savings!) we are generating. I unconditionally recommend Brilliant Harvest for anyone seeking a solar expert.” “All we can say is, ‘WOW!’ From start to finish, we couldn’t be happier with the quality of professional service and advice we received from Bill and the entire Brilliant Harvest crew throughout the purchase and installation of our new solar-powered electrical system. And we’re not the only ones. Even the FPL inspectors mentioned how impressed they were with the quality of our installation. Best of all, our electricity bills are now consistently 66-75% lower than they were before we had solar.” “Brilliant Harvest installed our solar PV system. At the time, FP&L was still offering rebates and – I must tell you – this was an intimidating process. Plus there ended up being some major issues on FP&L’s side, including a first round of rebates with technology issues online. But Brilliant Harvest helped us to plan for and navigate every step of the way and we successfully secured our rebate. We were very happy with the level of service, every step of the way. Bill answered our many questions patiently and promptly. Crews came when they were supposed to, were courteous, and cleaned up after themselves on every visit. Everything has been functioning well and we also think the design of our system is pretty appealing from the street. Our kids, who understand very well the environmental disaster theirs and future generations will be inheriting, also think we’re pretty cool for doing what we can to reduce our carbon footprint. Plus now we like being able to monitor our system online, at any time, to check output.”
