Never istalled it.. Nothing but lies.. they are not paying their contractors on time and the work has been shabby. The work for mine was farmed out to a company in Long Island NY.. They sent plans and they were for a NORTH facing roof. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!! I went to a local company, had more 10% wattage put in at 10% less. They were using greenenergy people out of Cherry Hill.. salesmen are quitting and they are bunch of liars! I tried to purcahse a system from BP in April 2009. Never istalled it..

How do you find licensed installers? Anna Scott, do you know what kind of solar panels that are being sold and the yearly output expected. How do you find licensed installers? Anna

A lot of rebates require a licensed contractor like here in AZ with APS my electricity supplier. DM Solar http://www.dmsolar.com/tu10grsy.html They have a 10.4KW grid tie system for under $35K Try these guys for buying the materials and see if your installer will do the work.

I have emailed Cindy Pitone my rep to cancel the contract. I have repeatedly tried to contact BP-SOLAR via Cindy P. I have not received any response from them. BP-Solar/Home Depot installation costs are a whopping $5000 higher then the cost calculator shown on PSEG website for my DC wattage (6300). THe DC wattage from solar panels is what drives your ultimate costing and produces equivalent KWH for your home via the inverter. Cindy P had indicated that I can cancel this contract anytime if I am not comfortable. I am canceling mine! Anna:

The cost was a whopping $5000 less than BP solar. I called up the BP solar marketing rep and she hasn't gotten back to me yet. I am very close to cancelling this installation.
