Best Businesses in Arizona
I checked into solar several times over the years but wasn't willing to risk damage to my roof for less than $100 net savings per month. This year I checked a few companies and AZ Solar Wave was almost $20K less expensive than the other company I was considering. That's right $20,000 less. I had read on many reviews for many companies that people had to wait really long times to get on the grid after initial install, some paying their solar loans for 6 months or more before seeing any gains from solar. I also was expecting my solar to take a long time for install simply because the supply chain is so jacked up. Not so. My system was fully installed and on the grid in right around 60 days. I was seeing the benefits from solar for 2 months before my first payment.
The initial sales guy and Brad (who managed the installation) were both very knowledgeable and patient. I'm a numbers person and they didn't bore me with a lot of stuff I already knew. They ran different numbers for me using various parameters, and I really understood what I was getting and why and what the expected return would be.
I also was impressed by the financing they offered. The federal rebate is significant, and they arranged financing that automatically refinances after that rebate is received and sunk back into the loan. So, you don't have to pay interest on the rebate part for the life of the loan. And the interest rate was quite low. I couldn't be happier with the entire process.
I'm 2 months in now and am already seeing really significant savings. On my first bill (which was partial solar) I saved about $75. My second bill looks like it will be about $150 less than last year's at this time. Brad really helped us figure out where the sweet spot for savings would be and things we could do to reduce our reliance on electricity - further bringing down our costs, like doing laundry off-peak and switching our pool pump to a variable one. Managing the early evening hours is our biggest challenge, but we are making great strides and expect to see even greater savings next month when the heat really gets scorching.
I couldn't be happier with our system, our education, and the customer service provided. The system works great. I was kept informed every step of the way and every question was answered quite quickly. I highly recommend these guys.

I've been dealing with the owner of this company for about 6mo now on my solar that came with the house when we brought it. So far Tony has answered every call I've made to him, or called me right back. He has come through on some of my small issues and has fixed it right away. Dealing with Tony has been a real pleasure. He had been a man of his word.

This place is amazing. We had a leak in our roof that ended up under an insurance claim. They had worked on my in laws roof and they came highly recommended. THEY DID NOT DISSAPOINT. They did everything from start to finish. Coordinated with our solar company for removal. They are dealt with the insurance company in case we needed to expand our claim. It's been such a smooth process! Took a while because of insurance calls back and forth but we barely lifted a finger and now have a new roof and security!

Often requested but seldom completed, I anxiously am writing this testimonial to share with not only Veterans but all to give Veteran Solar AZ an opportunity to complete an amazing, eye-opening and free Energy Audit.
We are transplants from the upper Midwest this past Spring due to my service connected and arthritis issues.
After a short time, we realized that we needed to harness the power of this unforgiving sun. But we didn't know where to turn, look, or ask. Like all, we too wanted a trustworthy, knowledgeable and honest Solar Company's insight and guidance, without all the sales hassles. This was all new to us.
So we turned to Yelp and the Internet to find a Veteran owned and operated solar company. This is how we found Veteran Solar AZ and it's Veteran owner, Ivan.
Within minutes of requesting information, mind you on a Sunday afternoon, I received a call from Ivan, to schedule an appointment that worked for both parties, within 10 days.
Ivan absolutely took us by surprise... as our defenses were already in place (ignorance) thinking this will be an hour long sales pitch. Embarrassingly, we could not have been farther from the truth.
Ivan was very professional and personal. He provided us with a power usage Audit to include how and where we could save electricity, especially during peak times. From replacing our nearly 15 year old single staged pool pump to recommending smart thermostats, Ivan was genuine and honest.
Ivan was able to put together a system that would likely take care of 75% of our demand and even sell some excess energies back to APS. (Likely to save nearly 90%, but Ivan refused to make a promise he couldn't keep!!)
We visited on a personal level regarding how many living in the home - including how long and often our 2/3 college kids will be living with us amongst other valuable pieces we never even thought about.
What I thought was going to happen was a sales pitch and handshake to think about it.
The Audit that Ivan and his team conduct far surpassed any and all reluctance and we signed a contract that day to do our part in going green. Ivan was forward thinking providing insights and not pressure, from the replacement pool pump and charging station coupled with the abilities to have backup batteries installed later, after technology and prices drastically change.
There were no slick sales' pitches. Just honesty, trustworthiness, and solar knowledge creating an educational and informative conversation.
As a Veteran, I wanted to support another Veteran. What I got, was a friendship.
Without any reservations, I would highly recommend Veteran Solar AZ to anyone even thinking about ways to potentially generate passive income by harnessing our Sun's infinite power.

I really meant to give '0' star instead of the '1' here, but the Yelp review software did not let me to put '0' star, so I am giving '1' star here.
I would not recommend SunHarvest Solar to anyone, if fact, when my friends, relatives, and neighbors asked me which Solar co. is recommended, I told them that they can go far any company except SunHarvest Solar. When I had my solar system installed in 2014, the sales guy was my neighbor, and he took very good care of me, then unfortunately, after my neighbor moved to CA, then I had to deal with the owner Brandon by myself, or the receptionist who answered the phone did not know what she was doing most of the time.
I do not want to write down all the things that I am not happy with SunHarvest here, but the one thing that upset me the most is the fact that after the panels were installed, there was water leak started happening in the bed room ceiling, so every time when there is a heavy rain, the leak happens (please refer to the picture), I had to pay Brandon to come up and do the diagnostics, and he found out it was the birds that built nests underneath the panels, and all the bird poop were clogging the drainage, therefore the water instead of flowing down along the roof tiles, it goes straight down to my bedroom. I hired a pest control co. to clean the bird poops, then I paid SunHarvest to install some bird Critter Proofing, which is some nets to prevent the birds from going underneath the panels for activities, Brandon hired some contractors to do the work, and I painted the water mark on my bedroom ceiling, and I thought this nightmare was over! Guess what? When it rains again, the leak happens again! I ended up climbed up to the roof by myself and checked it out, what I saw shocked me, please look at the attached pictures, the contractors from Brandon did a bad job on installing the nets, they left the big cracks and big holes under the panels, that is why birds are still able to go under the panels, it is basically the nets has been installed, but they are 'useless', if Brandon's contractors would have done a better job, the birds would've not have come back. When I complaint to Brandon about this recently, his reply was very 'harsh' and not friendly at all, basically he stated that they don't offer warranty on pest proofing, and this is the pest control issue and not the solar panel issue, and I need to maintenance my house roof by myself.
So instead of begging Brandon or fighting with him on this, I decided to share this stories in yelp here, so do yourself a favor, please do not pick SunHarvest Solar.
And please also read other reviews in the '# other reviews that are not currently recommended' section in Yelp, once you read them, you will know how other people describe Brandon.

The solar paraphenalia installed on the front of my house is six feet wide and five feet tall. Most customers probably have their solar on the back of their house, but mine is on the front. It's made my townhouse look quite awful. This is something no one tells you or shows you a photo of.
I'd told my rep that I want to sell my house sooner rather than later. No problem, he said, and he acted as an authority on GoodLeap's assumable loans. Since then I've learned that an investor may not assume the loan from GoodLeap. Only someone living in the house full-time can assume the loan. I live in Tucson, so I'm guessing if someone buys my townhouse as a second home, a snowbird hangout, they cannot assume the loan. Had I known this, I would not have had solar installed, because most likely my buyer will want this as a second home. The rep should refrain from acting as an authority on assumable loans.
Have the rep leave your house so you can review the long contract and terms without his sitting there waiting for you to sign. It's a legal and binding document committing you to tens of thousands of dollars, so don't be rushed.
If you're not looking to sell your house for the life of the loan, and the system isn't on the front of your house, you may have a better experience than I.

With this company gone as so many solar companies do, it does no good to point out that I was robbed of my money as my solar panels do not work and I have no support after only 2 years.

This is a scam company, they are only a call center. I have also blocked about 5 numbers from this company and reported them on the DoNotCall registry.
