Why choose Brilliant Harvest, and why you might not
What Brilliant Harvest does well, and where to be careful, compared with the installers it competes with most.
Reasons to choose Brilliant Harvest
It has done solar since 2009Brilliant Harvest says it has put in solar since 2009. It also fixes systems that other companies put in, so it can help if your old installer is gone.
It shows its license numbersIt prints its Florida electrical and solar contractor license numbers on every page. You can check both with the state before you sign.
It is certified for Tesla batteriesIt says it is a Tesla Energy Certified Installer and offers the Tesla Powerwall battery. We did not check this claim. Ask to see the certificate.
Owners praise its careful workIts head-office Google listing shows 4.8 from 19 reviews. Owners praise careful installs and help with permits and power company paperwork. One says the system kept working through two hurricanes.
Reasons to look at others
It lists no warranty at allBrilliant Harvest publishes no warranty on the panels, on its own work, or for leaks where the panels are bolted to the roof. None of the alternatives below lists a length for its own work either. Get every warranty in writing.
You can only buy or take a loanIt lists two ways to pay: buy the system, or take a loan from Climate First Bank. It publishes no loan terms. It does not say if you can rent the panels. ESD lists renting.
It does not name its panel brandsBrilliant Harvest does not say which panels or inverters it puts in on new systems. The inverter is the box that turns solar power into home power. Ask for the exact models in your written quote.
Few reviews, and none negativeIts listing has only 19 reviews, and we found no negative ones. That does not show how it handles problems. Ask who handles service and warranty claims after the install.
Brilliant Harvest reviews: what customers say
Each review site shows its own score; we read them on October 12 and 13, 2026 and do not combine them or add our own rating.
- Google4.8 / 519 reviews · Sarasota, FL office listing only, not company-wideRead reviews
The five positive reviews below praise meticulous installation, help with planning, permits and utility paperwork, and a crew that set up monitoring apps in person, and one owner reports a system that kept working through two hurricanes. There were no negative reviews among the reviews we read. Positive reviews alone do not show how a company handles problems. Ask Brilliant Harvest who handles service and warranty claims after installation.

How we picked these: the five newest 5-star and the five newest 1- or 2-star reviews with written text on Google and Trustpilot, as of October 2026 (19 reviews read, back to Dec 15, 2015). We found no Trustpilot page for Brilliant Harvest on October 12, 2026. Each quote is one sentence, word for word. Picking the highest and lowest ratings shows the range of experiences; it is not a representative sample, and we did not verify what reviewers describe.
How much does Brilliant Harvest cost?
Brilliant Harvest does not publish a system price on its financing page. Ask for an itemized quote showing the cash price, system size, equipment models and, if you finance, the financed total with APR and fees. Its site advertises a free EV charger with larger systems; ask that any promotion appear in the contract. For state price ranges, see our solar panel cost guide; for how the plans compare, see loans, leases and PPAs.
Purchase
You own itYou pay the full price and own the system and its output.
Solar loan (Climate First Bank)
You own itThe company says it partners with Climate First Bank for residential solar loans. Terms are not published.
Plans as listed on Brilliant Harvest’s solar financing page, read October 13, 2026. No lease or PPA is listed; its FAQ mentions PACE financing in general terms.
Brilliant Harvest does not name the panel brands it installs. It says it is a Tesla Energy Certified Installer and offers the Tesla Powerwall (homepage). Its repair page says it services Enphase, SolarEdge, Fronius, SMA and Tesla inverters, but does not say which it installs new. Your written proposal should list the exact panel, inverter and battery models, the system size in kilowatts (kW) and the forecast yearly production in kilowatt-hours (kWh).

Where does Brilliant Harvest operate, and which licenses were checked?
Brilliant Harvest’s service area page lists Bradenton, Englewood, Lakewood Ranch, North Port, Sarasota, Siesta Key, St. Petersburg and Venice, and describes its area as Southwest Florida (read October 13, 2026). A listed town does not mean every address qualifies or that EcoGen can connect you with Brilliant Harvest there.

Brilliant Harvest compared with three other installers
All eight alternatives share Brilliant Harvest’s one state, Florida. We chose ESD and Mitchell because they are nearby in the Tampa Bay area, and A1A because it also fixes older systems. Every fact comes from the company profiles linked below.
