Best Solar Panels in Phoenix, AZ

I had a Solar System installed on my home in Prescott Az. We had 21 panels installed and couldn't be happier. Team 3 did a great job with the installation. The Az Sun Services staff was very informative and kept me up to date as things changed and progressed. From the start we were happy with the services that were provided. I'd like to add that if you need a roof, they can help you with that as well.

Sales person was very professional and prompt. Customer service was on top of the whole job and went very smooth.
Construction was prompt and professionally done. They took care of any thing to do with the association and the city permits and inspector. Also arranged with the power provider.

iThe salesman was pleasant and polite.  The estimate that came from a different person at Caliber amounted to eight to ten times what the estimate was from two different companies for the same work.  So I will go with a different company.

Just had a very large system installed on my home. Extremely happy with every element of my experience with Aneva. A little background first.

I have some exposure to the solar industry from my day job in a related electrical firm. There are basically two types of companies you'll run into: sales companies that sell your contract or use subcontractors to install, and locally owned business like Avena that have their own crews and stand behind their work. Only use the latter. Never lease, always purchase. There is great financing out there, so either pay in cash or use the solar finance firms. You can't lose either way.

I took three bids. All we locally owned companies with their own installation and service people. Avena was competitive, all the prices were in the same ballpark. Difference with Avena was first the sales engineer that worked with me, Mark. No hard sell or smoke and mirrors. He sent an itemized quote so I knew exactly what I was buying, easy to understand. Next Avena only only offered quality equipment, no Chinese commodity panels or components. I think this is extremely important as these systems should last twenty years or more. I chose Mark's recommendation, LG. That's the same company that makes the TVs and appliances, someone that will stand behind their warranty. In fact all components come with a 20 year warranty.

After I placed the order I was introduced to Buddy the PM and Ed that ran the project at my home. All the guys were awesome. During the project I asked for a few changes, no problem. They made the changes, no push back. The owner Anthony even came out several time to ensure I was happy with the project.

My system went active today and my meter is running backwards! Because I went with financing I will be cash positive in year one, this is a no brainer.

Do note that installing solar on your home is a large project. I needed HOA, APS and city approval. It does take several months after placing the order for the system to become active. You need an experienced, quality provider for this to come out well.

Thanks guys!

Update 7/1/2021:

Very very impressed. The owner called me out of concern of the way the other company installed the transformer in the wall, he was concerned that it could start a fire because it was not to code. I did not know this. He had a better idea on how to install a different kind of transformer that would be safe to put in the wall. He came on his own dime with the part that he bought himself and set it up today. This company takes total ownership of their work and you should never worry about going with them. Very upset that the other electric company would endanger my son by putting something that gets so hot inside the wall of his bedroom.  The picture below with the white cover with the small slots is the  result of Ryan the owner coming to fix the work and putting in a transformer that won't overheat in the wall.  The owner issued me a full refund for the transformer install for my inconvenience, which was completely unnecessary and beyond any of my expectations. I kept trying to pay him but he wouldn't accept it! Definitely go with these guys!

First Review: Felt very overcharged for the quality of work. They left drywall dust everywhere and did not clean up after themselves.  When they moved my son's bed they broke part of the wood the way they moved it, I discovered this after they left and had to move the bed back (they didn't move it back) and fix it best I could, then shop vac all the drywall dust.  They left a transformer exposed up on the wall in my son's room, and they didn't indicate there was any other option on how to configure it.  It looked horrible, and no boxes they sell at home depot were big enough to cover it (see photos). I only hired them because my go-to company was booked up.  I ended up using my go-to company anyway to fix the exposed transformer issue.  The technician was nice but he kept having to step outside on calls and it felt like the job took a really long time for what was actually accomplished. Would not go with these guys again.  The quality of work was lower than companies I've used, but the charge was higher.

Extremely impressed with Dustin who installed my first set of lights in a windowless room. After seeing the difference they made, I called back and had 2 more installed and Devyn was just as professional. The photo in the room is only showing the light from 2-14" tubes. It was DARK - Zero Natural light! I highly recommend Arizona Home Daylight!

We started taking bids for solar earlier in 2021.  Some companies only wanted to push an expensive lease option that would have cost us more than $60000 out of pocket by the end of the lease!  Sure, they take  care of all maintenance and repairs, but when you do a little bit more research you can find that reputable companies have 25 year warranties on their products.  Luckily, I started reading about microinverters and decided that I wanted an Enphase microinverter instead of a string inverter.  From there, I searched Enphase's website for an installer in my zip code and Black Platinum showed up as a "platinum" level installer.  At the time, the next one listed had a "gold" status.  We got a quote for $38000 for 13.3kW with LG Panels and Enphase microinverters.  The payoff at the time was ten years, but recently Arizona is pushing APS to cut the off peak time from 3pm to 8pm to 4pm to 7pm and they are forcing them to stop charging people with solar for a grid connection fee.  These changes will definitely shorten our payoff time a little.

Black Platinum had us make the payments in four phases which worked out for us to help space out the large checks.  The first phase involves getting city permits, the second phase is installation, and the last phase is APS approving the install and giving you the go ahead to flip the switch and turn on the system.  We opted for no battery in our system since our solar buyback rate is locked for ten years.  After ten years, I'm anticipating battery technology to be much more superior along with the Enphase technology for being able to go "off grid" while still being connected to the grid in the event of a power outage.

After the install, we had a few hiccups that either we solved or Black Platinum solved:
1. One of the trees that the previous owners planted was shading my roof and blocking sun to three of my panels.  I had my landscaper trim the tree down beneath the roof line on my house.  He still needs to work with my neighbor to trim the same tree on my neighbor's side.  The three panels are probably running at about 60% right now (up from 16% when they were shaded).
2. Three panels did not have power after the system was turned on.  Two of them weren't plugged in correctly and the third needed a new microinverter.  I coordinated with David (Sales Manager) to get the repair team to my home to fix these three panels.

I love the Enphase Enlighten app for my Android phone.  It shows your energy use so you know when you are doing things during peak energy charges.  It helped us realize that if we shower between 3pm and 8pm it uses 5kW just to refill the water heater.  Now we shower outside of that window given that our APS bill is negative at the moment (it could be even more negative).

The way our system is designed we are expecting to get money back during the cooler months and we're expecting to pay some money during the four hot months in the summer.  It should balance itself out.  We are looking forward to getting the rebate next year and hope that the solar tax credit is extended to help more people get solar in the future.

During each phase of getting solar, David was in touch with me constantly via text on my phone.  I was also in touch with John Black (owner), Melia (permits), and David via email.  All of their estimates for the time frame for permits, construction, and APS were pretty spot on.  They had to cut into the wall in my daughter's room and garage to help hide the power conduits and it's very professional.  The drywall people patched it up like it never happened and we just happened to have painted my daughter's room recently as part of a kitchen remodel (using the same painters).  A few coats of left over paint and we can't even tell anything happened.  I highly recommend Black Platinum if you are considering going solar and I have given their information to a few of my neighbors who are thinking about it for themselves.

A great and positive experience from beginning to end. John, the salesperson, was available at MY convenience and never pushy: he explained as much as I could absorb and then answered questions several times after. The positive communication continued throughout the project, even when we were waiting for permits (Angela would call to say "no news, but we're monitoring and will let you know!). The onsite work was done by polite, well-mannered (no debris left, very friendly, willing to answer questions and made sure we weren't inconvenienced). System has been up for about a month and, because of the monitoring system, I can see what is being generated by our system. VERY GLAD we went with Rooftop and I would HAPPILY recommend them to anyone!

I live in Hawaii and reached out to Mr. Sunshine 4000 miles away to review two very large solar project for one of my client's. Michael immediately addressed my concerns, provided me the same day a complete detailed breakdown of each project.

Michael's kind heart, support without judgement, compassion for others is paramount, not to mention Michael took the time to go step by step with me, answering additional questions I continued to send to him. Michael worked with me until I had a complete understanding of each and every step to a solar system with associated cost breakdowns of which I did not have and were unable to obtain on the Island's.

I am beyond grateful, I took the time to contact Mr. Sunshine. When my client's begin to consider solar projects moving forward, I will always be sure to request an overview by Michael regardless that I am 4000 miles away.

General Solar just installed a new solar water heater. They did an outstanding job! When I called Kent, he was out of town, but still answered his phone. He said he would call me back as soon as he retuned.  He called me and came out the very next day and replaced my broken heater.
That's what I call Customer Service. He was prompt , courteous, and a great job!  
His pricing was right on.
If you need any solar work done, call Kent at Solar General!  You won't regret it!

I moved in to SUn city after getting a divorce as a senior and wanted to put solar on the roof. I met Cary after speaking to several salesman and decided that Cary had the best price for me. The work was done. A year ago I contacted Cary and got some extra work done installing a mini split that helped even more. I would recommend galaxy solar to anybody because of the professionalism and care.

Just like the other reviews bad customer service. Phone Tag is an understatement not only can you never get a hold of anyone but the Quote sent was wrong and did not address the items and size of solar I wanted. After repeated calls and a few emails I am done trying to work with this company. If someone is going to spend 20K plus you should have great customer service. (look at car salesman even though we all hate them for 20k you are never ignored.)

Arizona Energy Pros is GREAT!!!  I had my home reviewed for an Energy Audit and the work was performed by Arizona Energy Pros along with putting up a Solar System.  I had a investment in a CD for 20k that was making me $20 dollars a month..I invested this in my new solar system which is cutting my electrical bill down $200 a month and $300 during the summer.  Smart investment now I have more money to maneuver to my other bills like an extra income with savings on my electric bill....

Great work done in a timely manner.  Very professional and charged reasonable prices.  Would call him back for sure.  Professionalism wins the day!

No.  Please don't.

This company has been questionable from the get go.  Kyle our "salesman" was okay at first. Really a salesman personality. Not pushy just the insisting that our product is the best kinda guy. My wife and I agreed that we wanted to use renuable energy and was very interested in the savings so we decided to move forward with getting solar panels. He told my wife and i that if we needed anything at all that he would be there for us.

Weeks later we would get sparatic phone calls from people we didn't know letting us know that other people would be by to check the roof and take measurements. More Weeks would pass and we would get more phone calls about different people needed to get back on the roof.  Still no communication regarding where we were in the process or any follow up for that matter.  I would call and check on them every once in a while to see where we were in the process and would get very generic answers from the nice younger sounding gal who tried to answer my questions the best she could ..... Professional emails sent by Craig the guy who handles permitting with the state was not thorough or seemed not to care about anything.  His way of completing his work was to write broken english emails and have me taking time to discuss my permit with  state offices.... . Which turned out to be completely useless and a waste of time and I was told after many days of back and forth with them I was indeed good to go and did not need to contact them in the first place.

I expressed sincere frustration to our sales man Kyle, who after saying he was going to get to the bottom of this and Answer all my questions.  Kyle has just straight up ended communication with us. All of this after a meeting he set up.  He insisted he take care of all this negative bs that's going on around our project. Just gone.  Texts (how he likes to communicate)  have not been returned. As it stands today, on June 25, 2018, I am unsure what the hell is going on. We signed documents with this company on February 26th. 4 months ago.  Please save yourself the headache and go with a reputable company.  If I could give them zero stars I would.

Do not do business with this company.  If you encounter any problems, they put you on hold for 25 minutes, then put you on hold again and do not promise any resolutions to your issues.  

1. Titan installed the panels on the wrong side of my home.  That took 2 months to get rectified.
2. Now my faulty inverter that they blame on SolarEdge absolving themselves of responsibility.  They will install terrible equipment on your home and then you leave you on the hook.  The inverter has only been on my home for 9 months.  
3. I'm currently on hold with them right now.  So this is comical.  
4. Paying the electric company is much better than ever dealing with headaches like this again.  
5. The customer service representative is dismissive of my problems while on the phone with me, and seemed shocked that I was not happy being on hold for so long to come to no equitable resolution.

Moral of the story.  Do not think going green is any better than just paying Duke Energy for your service.

We made our appointment a week ago for today at 4 pm with Aparna.  I had discussed the reviews I had read on YELP about poor customer service with Luis when we made the appointment, and he assured me that we could expect great service.

Aparna was a NO SHOW/NO CALL for our appointment today.  Luis and Aparna were not available by phone, as well.

Wasted afternoon, not a good first impression at all.
