Since 1985, Berkshire Photovoltaic Services Inc. (BPVS) has pioneered off grid and on grid PV systems originally in an area stretching from Washington DC to the islands of Maine. We're known for innovative solutions and hybrid designs which utilize battery storage so sites can go "off grid" when they are "on grid" or power dedicated loads.
Now our new turn key design and install projects focus on the region surrounding the Berkshires of Massachusetts. We always service our own installations wherever they are and are often called on to diagnose and repair problem PV systems orphaned by others. BPVS is fully licensed (MA HIC 131996) and insured for commercial, institutional and residential PV Systems.

Solar electric systems are the most sustainable way to produce electricity, and quality designs like ours are quite durable. Consider the fuel -photons leaving the sun's photosphere and traveling roughly 93 million miles in 8.5 minutes to irradiate your solar array and set electrons flowing. No moving parts, no transport or extraction costs, no waste.
Photovoltaic cells are made of very pure semiconductor grade silicon similar to that used in computer chips. Silicon is the second most common element in the Earth's crust. Electricity is produced as photons of sunlight penetrate the element, bumping electrons into a flow. PV cells are connected together to make a module.

Report
I have a fully off the grid home in Western MA. I have worked with Chris & his crew for 15 years now. They have helped me design, install & maintain my solar electric system. Most recently his crew was here adding another 1KW of panels. Chris was able to remove my older ones (giving me a credit) and installing new one. I have been pleased with the professional work, knowledge & competitive pricing. Cheers.
