Best Businesses in Arizona

If you're thinking about going Solar + Energy Storage, these are your guys! They are nothing short of a reputable, professional, 1st class organization.

I have friends that have worked with them in CA and they are extremely happy post install. Their customer service is great all the way through.

I'm excited to to get my project going in AZ with them!

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!

Loved that they showed up wearing masks and practiced the 6 foot social distancing. Even while discussing different parts of the work order and inspecting some of the work, Tyler and his crew kept their distance, and made everyone feel comfortable while doing it ... thanks job well done.

Mid July 2018, we signed up for a solar system with Nergy Solar via rep Bill Stark.  Bill was a smooth talker and made lots of promises - it seemed like a no brainer to buy into solar.  (But now we know why he pushed for us to give him a 5 star rating on Google pages immediately following contract signing - we never heard from him after all the issues began - I am now updating my review)!  Since that time there have been so many hiccups, delays and mis- or non-communications it has become ridiculous.  And as I share this I see I am not the only one with major issues with this company.  The following is just a synopsis of my experience.  Communication with them has been confusing and appalling, for lack of better words.  So in short, don't deal with this company.  For the longer version, read on.

First, we signed up for the energy saving insulation package (which was several thousand $ extra - our first mistake), which was supposed to have x number of items included.  We did not receive them all.  It took several months talking to several people in the company before they finally agreed to reimburse a very small amount to us for our "inconvenience."  Second, the site surveyors were NO-Shows TWICE!  And we was told it was a miscommunication on our part!  During the survey, we found out that the amount of energy the battery would hold would not be enough to run our AC through the night - we would actually end up on the grid before sunrise.  (Bill said our solar/battery would take care of everything except APS mandatory fees).  To clarify this, we were directed to speak with James.  James explained what the battery was actually for was to get us through the APS "peak" time.  So basically our battery would only last til about 8pm then we'd be on the grid all night.  Additionally, our AC would not be connected to the emergency power should there be an outage.  So in short, Bill LIED about multiple points we believe to get us to sign a contract.  When we told him what Bill had promised, he directed us to Bill's boss Keith.  We never heard from Keith, even after mentioning this issue to Val and Alex and a third person (don't recall his name).  They all basically said we must not have understood what Bill was explaining.  No, there were 3 of us in the room when Bill gave us his spiel and answered our questions; he lied to us.

Next, it took over 4 months to get the panels installed.  After that, while waiting for the battery, we mentioned to at least 3 different people that Bill said we would need an upgraded electrical panel installed (ours is the 1979 original).  All 3 of them told us that the "Master Electricians" looked at the photos the rep took and the panel was fine.  The battery installers arrived, worked all day, but couldn't finish because they did not have the correct fuse for the panel due to our panel being OLD (this tells us no one looked at the photos or they would have known which fuse to bring).  They had to return another day after obtaining the necessary fuse to finish installation.  Then there was another "miscommunication" regarding the city inspector appointment.  Betty said it could take a few weeks; when Alex called to confirm the date we informed him Betty never called with a date.  The next day (Dec 7) he texted stating there was no appointment.  It took til 12/21 to get the inspection.  And it FAILED because we need an upgraded panel!  We are STILL waiting for that to happen.  In the meantime, the payments have come due starting Jan 7, 2019 (we were told we would not pay a dime until the system is up and running).  Another false statement.  Now we are paying a solar bill AND the full APS charges.  Since Dec 27 we have left voice and text messages with some of the numbers we have for Nergy Solutions and no response!  That is what prompted us to start filing complaints and reviews hoping for a resolution.

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.

5 out of 5 for sure! they will go above and beyond for all your solar and electrical needs.
They are very professional and honest!!

We first contacted SouthFace Solar in January 2020, and our system was up and running in early April. Although it has been only a couple of weeks now, I must say I am very happy at this point. The personnel have all been very helpful. This is not a short process since building permits, SRP approvals, etc., etc. are required. There were a couple of minor hitches, but all were solved quickly with a call to or from Vance, their representative. If you are considering adding solar to your home, I highly recommend this company. I will readily call them again should the need arise.

I have a 2015 teardrop trailer and had D&R do numerous modifications: install an access door, upgrade my 12-volt battery to 2-6volt batteries, install a battery cutoff switch, create a diamond-plate storage compartment on the tongue and build a custom cabinet for storage and to house my microwave. They know what they are doing and made improvements to my plans. I was very pleased with their workmanship and their pricing.

I was expecting my electric bill to be cut in half and that has NOT been happening. My electric bills have not changed much since they installed the glass on my roof. I have reached out to technicians and they came and made some update and adjustments but still no change. I compare my monthly bills to what i was paying last year and it is not much different. I have reached out to see what else we can do to fix the issue and no one has contacted me since. Last year in July I paid roughly $496 in electric with no solar, this year with not much change in our lifestyle we pay $126 per month to pay off solar plus an additional $324 for going over what my solar is producing, how does this make any sense. I literally saved $46 with solar!!!! That's insane. Till this day I have not heard anything back from anyone else regarding my concern. I highly recommend not getting solar at this point. I mean for what???

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.

Do not get Sunrun!  They are the worst!  They do not say what they say they are going to do!  Especially when you need a new roof that they prob caused!  I only had to replace half my roof go figure it was the side the solar was on!  V

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 !!
