## The honest read

BD Electrical & Solar is a Carver-based electrical and solar contractor founded by Brett Duguay -- per its own site, in 2007, during the recession -- and now BBB-accredited with an A+ grade. Its Google page is a clean five stars across 36 ratings, and the reviews lean heavily toward the solar side of the business: panel installs, battery backups, and the permitting and utility coordination that comes with them.

Recent reviews name individual technicians directly -- in a June 2026 review, one homeowner praised Elijah for walking them through every step of a job, and in an April 2026 review a commercial client described using BD for ongoing maintenance on a solar system after struggling to find anyone else willing to do it. Reviews further back describe the bigger jobs the company is known for: in a January 2026 review, a homeowner had 27 panels and a backup battery installed, timed to close out before year-end for a tax deadline, with BD handling the town and utility sign-offs; in a 2022 review, another customer credited BD with rescuing two solar installations a previous installer had abandoned, work still being finished five years later. A 2024 review described BD fixing bad wiring work a prior electrician had left behind in an older South Coast home.

The company says it's a certified installer for Tesla, Enphase, FranklinWH, and SPAN equipment -- self-reported affiliations, not independently verified here. There's a small wrinkle in its own history: BBB lists BD at eight years in business, while the company's site describes a 2007 founding, closer to nineteen years -- worth asking about directly if tenure matters to you.

Nothing critical shows up anywhere in the record. Between the BBB grade, a footprint spanning the South Shore, North Shore, and Cape, and reviews describing everything from a single warehouse LED retrofit to full residential solar-and-battery systems, it's a reasonable call for electrical or solar work of nearly any size.

**Strengths:**
- Rescues abandoned jobs — finished solar installs a prior installer walked away from
- Fixes others' mistakes — corrected bad wiring left by a previous electrician
- Full-service solar — handles permits and utility sign-off, not just installation
- Commercial capability — services solar systems for businesses, not just homes
- Goes the distance — travels to island and remote properties for installs

**Concerns:**
- Company history unclear — BBB tenure figure conflicts with the founding year the company states

**Where sources disagree:**
- BBB lists BD Electrical & Solar at 8 years in business, while the company's own site states it was founded in 2007 (about 19 years) — the two accounts of its history don't match.
