Best Businesses in Phoenix, AZ

Back in 2018, I started looking into putting a solar system on my home.  I chose Arizona Solar Wave based on their reviews and I have never had any regrets.  The install was smooth and any issues were always addressed immediately.  
Fast forward to 2021 and we moved out of Arizona for nearly a year.  Even before we got back to AZ, we called Brad directly to set things into motion for a solar system for the new house we purchased.  Again, everything went smoothly, everyone I've met during this process has been wonderful.  From start to finish, the whole process took 93 days and we turned our system on today!
I had a terrible experience with a different solar company while I was living out of state and they were a nightmare to work with.  

We are so happy to be back in Arizona and enjoying another Arizona Solar Wave system.

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.

We used Glendale Roofing to re-roof our home last year.  There customer service was amazing and they finished the job in a timely manner.  We were very pleased with their attention to detail and their follow-up once the project was completed.  I would highly recommend them!

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.

Live in El Paso, Texas.  We had our solar panels installed last year.  The sale person was great. I went down hill from there.  The installation was delayed and getting a hold of the installers was a nightmare.  When we finally got the panels installed they were working great we started to see a drop in our electric bill.  Well they are not working NOW! Apart from a monthly Solar panel payment my electric bill these summer months have averaged in the 250.00 dollars.  I have reached out by sending several emails and no one have bothered to contact us.  Next step will be filling suit. Worse company ever.  I will post on Facebook, Twitter, and any other social media platform I can think of. Extremely unsatisfied!!!1

They fail to tell people how often they have changed staff, has a very high turnover rate.  If you apply for a call center position it's actually a Telemarketing Job you'll be calling people for reps to go to someone's home and try to push a same day sale and if you don't get enough demos to your appointment ratio they will terminate you.  Not a secure job in any of their positions.  They also go by Going Green Solar and National Clean Energy, do your research before applying or buying from the company there are other solar companies with better rates if you wanna go solar!
