Best Businesses in Arizona

Working with Semper Solaris was a pleasure. Dennis walked us through all our options for the system. He made everything very understandable and let us know what to expect every step of the way. The rest of the Semper Solaris team also communicated very well and kept us updated on the project. They handled all the paperwork and made the entire process very simple.Thank you Dennis and the Semper Solaris team!

As a techie who is HVAC savvy, I was impressed when Dave the sales representative arrived at my house to do his estimate. He spent 3 hours taking measurements, crawling in the attic, and running tests. He was the only Rep out of the 3 estimates I received to take this much time and effort. Then he took all his data back to the office and crunched the numbers before returning with his estimate which was significantly higher than his competition. He recommended higher end equipment with a 10 year warranty on parts and labor.  We set an appointment for the following week and when the installers arrived, they went right to work putting down heavy runners to protect my carpet, and got straight to work removing my old equipment. The house was just beginning to cool down as my wife returned from work. The installers were both friendly and knowledgeable, and it was a joy having them in my house. Dave also made sure that I got the forms for the rebates from my electric company. They were terrific!

I just want to thank Sam and his co-worker for the great job of installing the bird guard around our new solar system. Sam showed me the material used and how it is attached to the solar system. He also showed me before and after pictures of a bird nest they had to remove before installing the bird guard. They cleaned up everything before leaving. I would recommend Solar Restore. Thanks again Sam.

Our solar panels have been working very well, just as promised. We are very happy with the switch to solar energy!

I'm so happy with Cheetah solar.. Worked with Raymond and was very informative he answered all my questions and had responded to all my texts and emails. Very professional and would highly recommend them!

They seem to be out of business, so perhaps the review is a moot point.  However, the slick presentation of the salesperson (who is no longer with the company) did not result in a good overall experience for me.  I was promised that electricity purchased from APS would be at a flat rate of .09 per kWh, and I would sell electricity back to APS at a flat rate of .12 per kWh.  I knew it was probably BS at the time, and I repeatedly asked if that was accurate.  They assured me it was.  And...no.  I'm on a standard time-of-use plan.

I consider this purchase to have been a major financial blunder on my part.  I bought the whole package, when I should have just bought solar directly with competitive quotes from multiple vendors.  I should have also first addressed the root cause of my high electric bill - inefficient, old air conditioners.  Now I've got to pay this huge loan off, and I am replacing the AC units on top of that.

Getting the ducts sealed was great, but it's kinda dumb that they don't CLEAN the ducts before sealing them.  The Nest thermostats will not be compatible with my new AC units.  Two of the Philips HUE bulbs have failed, and should be under warranty but I don't have a receipt that lists the date I purchased them.  Extra attic insulation is great, but that's an easy project I could have done myself.

Came out for an emergency situation and had it fixed within a couple hours whereas no one else would answer our calls.

After moving into our new home we decided to have solar installed.  We interviewed 6 different companies and are so glad we chose Southface Solar.  Our first choice was Pur Solar but they want you to pay 80% upfront which turned us off.  Southface was willing to work with us to get our business.  The sales rep was very professional and willing to listen and work with us.  They did everything possible to help us get "grandfathered" before the new rates took effect.  Thanks to their efforts we are locked in at the old rates for the next 20 years.  We were scheduled to be installed the end of October.  We received a call and they were able to install the system in early October.  The techs that came out were very professional.  They arrived on time and cleaned up at the end of each work day.  It took 3 days to install the system.  It was a very neat and clean install.  We just had to wait for the city inspector and APS to do their thing before the system became functional.  Everyone has signed off on their part and APS came out ahead of schedule to finish up the install.  Once the new meters were installed I was able to "throw" the switch and start using solar power.  The sales rep came out today and setup our box for wifi so we can monitor the usage.  Again they contacted us to see how things were going and were pleased to hear that APS was ahead of schedule.  We cannot say enough about our pleasant experience with Southface and highly recommend them to anyone wishing to install solar.  They will listen to you and treat you right.

Actually would not even give this business a star at all.  We wanted to install a solar system on our RV and starting in Nov. 2013 we consulted with Ron.  He was very informative, but opinionated, with his knowledge of solar installation.  He noted that he was an Interstate battery distributor and was not pleased that we wanted to order Crown batteries.  After multiple discussions, we came to an agreement with Ron in which he agreed to install our preferred components and set a date for the install for 18 Feb 2014.  This was not an easy decision due to the logistics of us living in San Diego, CA and Ron being located near Phoenix, AZ and the fact that we would have to bring the RV to his shop for the install.  After we had decided to hire him, planned the solar install, and even received a parts and labor estimate (essentially an online handshake),  we made one final phone call to finalize two of the parts that Ron did not normally use but that were a better price and had excellent reviews. Following the phone call this is the email we received from Ron:

"After our conversation yesterday I realized that you have been researching alot of information from people that think they know everything but just want to sell you equipment that you have no knowlege of how to use. And for that reason I cannot be the one to install a system on your RV.I have done over 8000 systems in 24 years and have never turned down anyone till now. Let whoever has been feeding you this information be the one to install it."

We tried to reach out to Ron via email asking him to reconsider and take our business but we have not received a reply back. Since we now know that he is not a man of his word, we would not give him our business or recommend him to any of our friends or family.

One final note.  We have been researching a quality RV solar install now for months and the people that had been advising us are experts in RV and off-grid solar and were NOT trying to sell us anything - they don't sell items or do installs anymore, just give advice.

Excellent Company with some of the best installers around.  Made the process simple, quick and efficient.  Love my new system and the savings!

We had a great overall experience working with Pep Solar. We had some hiccups in the beginning, but they got everything squared away and back on track quickly. Things can happen and what we appreciated was the communication and responsiveness. That's very important to us. We had two Tesla batteries installed. The guys that came out to work on the project were great! Very professional, on time and friendly. The job took longer than expected as we have an older home that has been remodeled but they showed up everyday and did a wonderful job. They showed up for every inspection and stayed until they were sure everything was up and running. We also had a great experience with working with everyone in the office. They were very responsive to our questions and needs and were very easy to work with. I would recommend them to any family or friends looking to get solar or do a project. We are very satisfied.

We live in the Tucson area and recently had a system installed. The problem is not with the unit, it's with the customer service group. The system was installed great. The problem with it is that it is so complicated that we cannot even operate it. When we ask for help, they seem to think it's our problem and that we need to address it. When we call, we get bounced around from person to person until someone tells us there is nothing wrong with the unit. It was operating fine when they left. It was not operating correctly when they left and now we can't get them back out here to show us what to do.
I guess I should have done better homework when selecting a company to do this.
This one obviously was a big mistake.

A young man wearing an Sunrun shirt knocked on my door and said he was doing a follow-up to a letter that I received from SRP about solar power. I asked to see his identification card from the City of Tempe showing he has a valid permit from the city to do door-to-door solicitations. He then left.
Tempe City Ordinance 24-71 Section d: " It shall be unlawful for any individual acting as a door-to-door seller or solicitor to fail to exhibit a valid identification card upon the request of any police officer, finance and technology director or any of his authorized agents, or upon the request of any resident of the city. "
If a resident of the City of Tempe asks you to show this card you are required to do so!
Concerned that this might be a scam I called the SRP "Preferred Solar Installer" number at (602) 889-2657 and was told that Sunrun is NOT an SRP preferred solar installer and that they have no idea what letter from SRP this person was referring to and that they are very aware of Sunrun and have been getting multiple complaints about this company.
RED FLAG: I just got an unsolicited post card from Sun Run that they have "Prescreened" my credit scores to "pre-qualify" me for their product! How dare they do this without my permission. I will be reporting this business to the BBB.

Run from this company, they will lie, cheat and steal your money, that's what they're great at nothing else. Run Run Run and fast from them for your mental well being !!
