BD Electrical & Solar

BD Electrical & Solar works out of Carver, on the South Shore, with a second location in Gloucester covering the North Shore, and the company says it's been at it since 2007, founded by Brett Duguay during the Great Recession. Today it does residential and commercial electrical work alongside solar installation, battery storage, and EV charger installation across the South Shore, North Shore, Cape Cod, and the Islands, and it's a listed member of the Carver Chamber of Commerce. The story reviewers keep telling is about the person who showed up, not just the outcome. In June, a customer praised a technician named Elijah for walking them through every step of the work; earlier in the year another described a home visit from a technician named Shawn as "fluid and professional." In late January, one homeowner had 27 solar panels and a backup battery installed, timed to close out before a year-end tax deadline, with BD handling the permits and utility sign-off directly. A commercial customer who uses BD for annual maintenance and occasional repair on an existing solar system called them organized, responsive, and knowledgeable, adding that finding anyone willing to service a system after installation wasn't easy. Across 26 reviews logged from 2021 through today over six different sources, none are negative, and Google shows a perfect 5.0 across 36 ratings. There's a wrinkle worth asking about: the company's own site and a third-party directory date its founding to 2007, but BD's BBB profile lists only 8 years in business, which lines up with a 2018 LLC filing rather than the earlier founding story. It's worth a quick question about which entity or years of operation you'd actually be contracting under. The BBB page itself carries an A+ grade and accredited status, but it doesn't publish its own star rating, reviews, or complaint count, so that badge is more of a floor than a full picture. For a solar installation, a battery or backup project, or electrical work where you'd rather not deal with the town and utility yourself, BD's track record covers that ground repeatedly and consistently. Given the founding-date question, it's worth confirming directly how long the current entity has been operating before booking.
