Best Businesses in Phoenix, AZ

As an insurance agent and insurance advisor, Michael was awesome for my clients. He drives to your home to help add in  charging stations for electric cars like Tesla, Chevy Volt, and the Nissan Leaf. My clients live all over Phoenix, such as Tempe, Mesa, Gilbert and Scottsdale.

I am so happy I met Michael!

LightDay solar has an amazing battery pack for saving non peak energy to disperse during your peak hours to save energy costs for those that don't want to rely on  SRP or APS.

Last year Dillon Holmes of Cambio installed the solar panels at our retail location in Phoenix, cutting our electric bill in half. After the state and federal credits and the depreciation on the equipment, we're looking at a return of our initial investment in 7 years. Dillon continues to monitor our output and if anything appears to be below expected production levels, he's out there to check our equipment and resolve any issues. This was definitely a good investment and a good choice of vendors.

I am so happy I went with Noonday. Everyone is trying to get you to go solar but Noonday offered me the best deal, service, and quality. I've saved so much money and now will own my energy in the future. They answered all my calls and were patient with me (not pushy). Also the install was super fast. They offered me the lowest deal I had seen yet and were very professional. The process was fast, easy, and stress free. I would highly highly recommend!! Great quality and service!!

Fantastic service and quick availability! I found myself in a bind and hired J Ryan Electric based on a referal. The techs were on time, went the extra mile and when I got my bill I was relieved they were fair with their pricing and didn't add on silly and absorbent fees. Once again, going local pays off. I would highly record J Ryan!!

Wonderful Experience!
We had a great experience with Advance Solar Technologies! Not only were they professional, courteous, and friendly, but competitive. We highly recommend working with Nathan as he made everything seamless. He was available for any questions and concerns we had 24/7. The whole team did a great job! We are very happy with our solar and have since had 3 family and friends also reach out to Nathan for solar.

SolarFix treated me like family....

When an error message and a red light appeared on the inverter screen of my 12 year old solar system indicating the inverter was not working, I called the manufacturer to see what to do. They suggested changing a couple of printed circuit boards in the inverter which was easy but did not solve the problem. After further analysis by them over the phone they told me the inverter's  mother board was "fried" and that I needed a complete new unit..... about $5000, but they were "out of stock" with a six month backlog for a replacement.  That's when I called the original system installer (who happens to be the largest solar installer in AZ)  to see how soon they could replace it with another brand.  They told me they were so slammed with requests for complete solar systems that it would be about 9 months before they could get to a repair like mine! So upset was I that I had an expensive 12,000 watt solar system on my roof that I couldn't use, I called the two other largest installers. Never heard back from one of them and the other one was supposed to send me a quote for an inspection and never even did that!  It seemed to me that the big companies were more interested in selling a complete new system than repairing an existing one.  After a lot of research, I found five smaller companies who are certified for solar work. I called them all and heard back from two. One came out and gave me an extremely high quote. Another had a somewhat lower quote, but still in the $6000 range. I never heard back from the other three.  Fortunately,  one of the managers at my original installer felt badly about the 9 month wait  and directed me to SolarFix LLC in Surprise, AZ. From the moment I spoke with Laura in the service department and Mike Craig, one of the owners of the company, I knew I was in good hands. Mike came out to inspect and test the system at no charge. He and his partner, Cameron, asked why I wasn't re-furbishing my faulty inverter. I told them I had spoken to the manufacturer several times and they never suggested that nor did I think it was possible. It was then that they  called and spoke with the inverter manufacturer from my home and told me after the call   that their electrician, Miguel, would  remove the inverter and that I should  contact the manufacturer and make arrangements  to ship it back and  get it refurbished. The bottom line was that I shipped it back the next day, had it repaired and returned in a little over two weeks. Miguel and Cameron came out to reinstall it and start it up the next week.  The readings I have seen on it tell me it is producing energy like it was new. I recognize that I don't have a 10-year warranty that a new inverter comes with, but when I learned from the manufacturer that when one of their inverters under warranty goes bad, they often ship the homeowner a refurbished one, I felt that I was likely to get many years of good life from the refurbished inverter at one-third the cost with a replacement time that was almost immediate compared with waiting months for someone to generate a quote and install a new one. The work by SolarFix was quick, efficient and they treated me like family by directing me to a much less expensive solution. These days, it's almost impossible to find a company that acts and responds like SolarFix did for me.

We used streamline solar. They were late in the install. Came on a Monday. Had a different work lead then whom I was told was coming. They were unable to finish the job so said they'd be back the next day. Called later and said they had another job to do and would return on Wednesday. After inspections no one came to turn it on when I called for tech support to turn it on they couldn't help as had no pics of my system. Finally called a worker who walked me thru it after I had been told there was a crew in Tucson who would come do it. The first rain discovered my patio was now leaking. They had used it for walking across and putting the panels and roof tiles on. The wore away the coating on the patio. Filled a complaint with the BBB they haven't even gotten back to them let alone responded to any of my calls. Just had an electrician out the other day because half my house was without power turns out when then we're moving circuit breakers around they left one ungrounded that shorted out part of my house. Don't recommend them as if your a small job our was only 32,000 you're treated as if your business doesn't matter

Tony came to our house for a consultation, mind you, we just had some questions about an improper installation and were looking for some answers. He didn't have to do this but he did it anyway.
He is extremely  knowledgeable, extremely friendly and you can tell his sincerity is real. He wasn't trying to SELL me. He was trying to EDUCATE me and gave me the information we were looking for.
If solar is what you are looking for, I would recommend Brilliant Solar Solutions above any others. You'll get what you need and I believe you'll avoid any problems you may have from other Solar companies.

We had AES install rooftop solar 5 years ago and was completely satisfied with the design and installation. When we had a minor problem with a new style inverter used on our array, AES sent out an electrical engineer to solve the issue. It's worked perfectly since. Our monthly electric bills have averaged $16 per month since installation!! Thanks guys for a job well done.

Very disappointing experience. We first installed solar with this company in 2009 and were happy with the work and the company. We had to replace the roof in 2020 so called American Solar again. We should have checked their reviews first. The panels were supposed to be installed first week in Dec 2020, but they came with the wrong clips. Then we waited weeks without even getting a response which caused a lot of anxiety. The job was finally completed the 3rd week of March. They came many days but only were on site 5 or 5 1/2 hours. Then inverter and DC disconnect had to be replaced....more delays. I gave them a 2 because they did finally get everything installed and working after 3 months. Three employees we had contact with left the company during that time.

James was great! So glad he came and knocked on my door to offer solar. I was hesitant but he explained it in a way that made sense.

We purchased a tiny home that had an off grid system hooked up to it so we called new grid to come out and see if we were hooked up correctly.  We paid the $250 for the consultation and had two guys come out to look at the system.  I also wanted to get some extra batteries installed and a few other upgrades to make sure we were good for off grid living.  Everything seemed to be hooked up correctly is what the two guys from new grid determined.  I basically only received a printout of the user manuals from them, and certainly never got a follow up on any upgrades.  Seven months later our system failed due to an underpowered inverter (which fried) and our batteries also were unable to hold a charge and were ruined as well.  The company who is now upgrading me immediately noticed several areas that were not hooked up correctly including how the bank of batteries were wired.  I just find it sad how some companies talk the talk on the phone and just fall very short after your check is cashed.  I definitely doubt their solar knowledge and I would recommend taking your money to a more experienced company.

I ordered parts from Wind + Sun to troubleshoot a Schneider inverter for a customer. The tool wouldn't communicate with either laptop I tried. Multiple attempts to reach out to their customer service were met with no response.

It's been three months and nothing is happening. They blame it on APS (our electric provider) but it can't be all on them. Freedom forever has to take some of the blame.
At the recommendation of a friend I let them into my home with a favorable outlook. They gave their presentation and I ordered what I wanted. A solar system with the Tesla batteries like the one I saw advertised by another company on TV. I would have waited to do this but the payback rate for excess solar is dropping from 9 cents per Kwh to 8 cents per Kwh very soon and I was told I needed to have panels on my roof before the end of August (now it's September, maybe it always was). That statement wasn't true but I didn't find that out until later.
I paid them my deposit of $1,000.00 on 7/7/21 and they left. A gentleman showed up a few days later to do measurements (called a site assessment). The site design was done and the next step is the approval to put it on the roof.
On 7/28/21, I received an email from APS (our power company) that an application to add solar to my home had been submitted.
On 8/5/21 I received an email from APS that there was a problem with the application. It needs to be corrected and resubmitted within 30 days or I lose out on the higher payment rate for my excess solar.
On 8/20/21 it was resubmitted to APS and
on 8/30/21 it was rejected again.
On 8/31/21 it was resubmitted to APS and
on 9/8/21 it was rejected again.
So I called my salesperson on 9/9/21 who told me his boss is getting involved. Then everything stopped. I called a few more times for updates and I was told that they were working on it. The last time I called I was told it was a priority and being discussed on 9/30/21. I thought I would hear something on 9/30 or 10/1 with a status update. Did I get a call or text or email? No! All I hear is crickets. Today is 10/2/21 and Freedom Forever has only days left to get a corrected application in to APS before everything turns into a heaping pile of dog poop.
10/2/21 - I just got off the phone with my salesperson. He stated that he was told it was being resubmitted to APS on Thursday after his meeting but upon review he could see it hadn't been done.  He swears that it will go to APS on 10/4/21 and that he will call be before the end of the day to confirm what he just said. We will see.

If this system gets approval and turned on before the end of the year I'll get my tax credit but it isn't looking good today.

This Review is a special update. Thanks to Southwest Electric for coming through on the items that after reviewing have been updated. I do appreciate their team, hearing me out, taking the time to send someone out and make the updates at no additional cost. They stood by their work, and they made good on their promise. I do appreciate the extra effort in this team to see the work resolved. I do have good things to say, and I would certainly recommend them, Southwest Electric. Thank you.

We signed up for solar in August of 2021 and we were told that the process would take around 2-3 months to complete. We were hoping for October, but understood that it may be November. The plans were drawn up and we waited for APS, our HOA, and the city to approve it. We got approval from the HOA and APS withing the first month and they even sent it back and requested revisions be made to the plan that Envision drew up. (No big deal. These things happen) Envision concluded that we needed a panel upgrade before they could install the panels. I was very patient throughout the entire process because I assume that this industry was experiencing supply chain issues and shortages due to COVID just like a lot of other industries.

We finally received a notification from the company on November 18th 2021 that our electrical panel upgrade would happen on 01/20/2022 at 7:00am and the solar panels would be put on the roof on 01/24 - 01/25. This was the first thing that made me start to worry because we were concerned that since this was going to take place in 2022 instead of 2021, it would prevent us from filing it with our taxes until the following year. (Still not a deal breaker)

For the electrical panel upgrade, they notified us that the power would need to be shut off for 6-8 hours that day. My wife and I work from home, so we had to take the day off and request the following weekdays off for the solar panel installation as well. We got the days approved and made plans to go through food in our refrigerator and not stock up due to the power set to be off for the day. When the day came I awoke at 6am to get ready for the power to be turned off around 7am. Everything seemed to be going to plan until 7am came and went and we were stuck waiting around for a few hours. I gave them a grace period since I assumed it would work that way. At 10am and no sign of the company I called in to check what was going on. The rep I spoke with informed me that they cancelled my electrical panel upgrade THAT morning around 7am. So here we are already taking a day off and then pretty much cancelled on without even knowing it. I had to call in to them to get this information. This immediately upset me and I found it inexcusable to not be told what was happening when it happened, and also to fact that they were able to cancel on the day of. So I felt uneasy even rescheduling because no how can I even trust they won't cancel again?

So now we are already unsatisfied. So far we have already waited 5 months and we still have no solar panels or an electrical panel upgrade and no set date as to when this will get done. Not only that, but this panel upgrade was scheduled in November. So we planned and waited for this for 2 whole months and it was cancelled on the day of.

On February 3rd they notified me that they could do the panel upgrade on 02/09/2022. We declined that date due to a death in my wife's family and funeral proceedings being out of town. The company then told us that 05/02/2022 @ 7am was the next available time for them. We accepted this. There was no way they would mess this up again right? Its February and we have almost 3 months to prepare for this and we already accepted that we came this far now we just want it done at this point.

As we were approaching the date for our panel upgrade I decided to give the company a call to see what's going on to make sure they haven't decided to change something and not tell me again. So on 04/29/2022 I called to just make sure everything was going to plan and they told me that now I was cancelled because the financing I was approved for had expired since this process took so long. They wanted me to reapply for the financing and then reschedule another panel upgrade date. The problem I had with this is the lack of communication. They had cancelled me more than 2 weeks prior and never informed me in any way (email, text, phonecall).

This whole experience was exacerbated due to the fact that my wife lost her grandmother in late February and 2 uncles in January. This family lives in Mexico and in Yuma Arizona and we live in Phoenix AZ. This forced us to use many days off work to commute back and forth frequently during these months. The reason I bring this up is because this means that us taking days off work was extremely valuable this year. So it really pissed me off that nobody from this company communicated these things to me and it caused me to take days off for essentially no reason. It is also just flat out disrespectful not to inform me. It undermines my time and my family. I told this company to just cancel my whole application and that I would not be working with them ever again.

I don't know what their deal is, but this was a serious mismanagement on their part. I am a patient and understanding person, but this was the worst experience I have ever had with a company. I shouldn't have to check that they are doing their job. I trusted them and they flat out failed.
