Best Solar Panels in Phoenix, AZ

Polite, professional and on time. I don't write reviews very often, but these guys exceeded expectations on ALL fronts. I spoke to 3 different solar companies and AZ Sun Services was extremely competitive on price and knocked it out of the park with the level of service they provided. John and Charlie were available for every random question I threw at them before, during and after installation. Charlie walked me through the process of submitting my request for solar with APS to ensure it was done right the first time. His attention to detail was flawless. APS installed the meter and approved the system in less than 2 weeks. My neighbor waited 4months!! Terry, their NABCEP certified installer, was on point. He was very thorough in telling me how the system worked and all the little things they did to ensure a top notch install. I would recommend these guys to anyone considering solar!! Thanks AZ Sun Services!!!

I finally decided to start with "the man in the mirror" by adding solar panels, an energy hub and a level 2 EV charger to our newly purchased home.  After reading MANY on-line reviews, we selected Sunny Energy for the project.  The folks at Sunny Energy were great to work with from the initial design proposal, scheduling, payment and the final walk-through.  We had no issues whatsoever even though we purposely delayed installation about two months to accommodate a trip out of the country.  Thus far, about a week into production, the solar array is putting out almost exactly what we were told to expect, which more than off-sets our energy use.  We are hoping to make further cuts in our overall energy bill by charging a plug-in hybrid during peak solar output using our level 2 EV charger.   I highly recommend going solar and highly recommend purchasing your system from Sunny Energy.

Caliber Roofing replaced my roof for me and they did an amazing job at a fair price. They did such a good job for me I referred my boss to them. I would highly recommend using them.

Out of all the solar contractors I interviewed, Aneva stood out as a honest, no pressure company that was up front on the sale and installation of our 8.8 kWh system.  They were easy to work with, on time and no surprises.  When I had questions about my system after the install, they were quick to get back to me with answers.  With a year of solar production, the system over produced more than projected.  A solid value and a good company to deal with.  Highly recommended.

I've had no power in 2 spare bedrooms for several months.  Three different electricians have worked on the problem without success.  So I called Firefly based on their reviews and wish I had contacted them first.  The receptionist was very polite, listened to my story, noted my frustration and said they could help me.  She offered an appointment that afternoon but I couldn't be home.  The team arrived the next afternoon and resolved the issue in less than 30 minutes.  All the employees I dealt with at Firefly were outstanding - polite, courteous, knowledgeable, explained the problem and the fix. I couldn't be happier and highly recommend them for electrical work.  Thank you Eleazar, Gabe and Ryan - well done!

Had new Solatubes installed by Arizona Home Daylight yesterday.  Have had a Solatube for many years and love it.  The installation was difficult because this is an old home with electrical and plumbing tangles in the attic space.  Dustin was amazing and figured out exactly what he could and could not do prior to making any cuts in the roof.  One install involved some confusing electrical connections for the light kit  and he called in a reinforcement and they finally figured it out.  My new Solatubes are amazing and the service from Arizona Home Daylight was stellar.  On time, considerate, neat, competent.  You don't find service like this very often..

A couple of months ago, they completed installing solar on our roof.  They were very professional and personal, taking the time to answer any questions that I had.  Of the three companies that I interviewed, I found 'Johnny' to be very easy to talk and he explained everything to the detail that was needed.  The quantity of panels that they suggested is working well, which was not easy as I didn't have any history of electric use.  They offer a quality product and service.  I would recommend them and have done so already.

We meticulously considered and researched all our options when making the investment in a solar system, from size of array to brand and type of inverter. Ultimately we chose Rooftop Solar and Hanwha microinverter panels, and though the price was higher than the competing bid, we're really glad with the choice, both for technological reasons and for the company's ethos and practice. Rooftop kept us fully on board with things we wanted to have a say in (the aesthetics of the design and layout) and handled all the red tape and bureaucracy so we didn't have to (inspections from the city and APS, etc.) We came out with an 18-panel array that actually *looks good* on the house as well as reaps a ton of energy from the sun. It's also worth mentioning that everyone at Rooftop is really, really pleasant to work with--they are friendly, positive, kind, laid-back yet professional, and deeply rooted in and invested in the community and the cause of cleaner energy. Recommend wholeheartedly.

Having had 7 years of prior experience with solar I didn't need any convincing about whether to have another system on my new home. I did need valid information on leasing options vs buying and Michael had all the facts. We talked solar for about 2 hours and he didn't offer any hype. He actually downplayed some of my thoughts about installation timing and energy production. All accurate. Since I had planned ahead to put solar on the new home Michael encouraged a purchase of the system and set me up with quality components at a fair price. I now have 2 months of production and can already see our energy needs will be fully met by a system of just 7kW in size. I also encourage the added efficiency of ceiling fans, LED lighting, reflective window film and good insulation. Michael is a good guy, knows his business and won't waste your time with pipe dreams or a deal you'll regret. If you've seen all the solar ads and don't know what to believe, give Mr Sunshine Solar a call to get all of your questions answered.

My solar water heater became defective, called several companies for service, here are some of their comments, " if we didn't install it we don't service it". "we don't do solar anymore", We live in the Valley of the Sun. I called General Solar, spoke to Kent and he said he could come to my house on Monday, I asked if he had any solar water heaters on hand, yes he did, I said please bring it when you come.  After 4 days of no hot water and taking cold showers even during a heat wave, gets old, I had hot water within 1 hour, Kent and Steve cleaned up and removed the old water heater. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you Kent and Steve. I will refer you to anyone who is interested in solar. Thanks again, Mary

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.

Harmon was a great company to work with.  Explained the benefits of solar well and helped us throughout the installation to get setup right with our electrical provider.  I highly recommend this company to help you decide if solar is right for you.

It's been a year since AEP installed our system. I'm sure glad they did because I'm paying only $35 on my APS bill for JUNE!!! Russ, the owner, conservatively estimated that my summer bill would be about $75 bucks with solar, which I was very excited about a year ago. Come to find out that he was way off. Paying $35 in June was a delightful surprise. Even my wife, who was skeptical, is glad that we invested in Solar. Since I financed this system, I decided to pay exactly what I would be paying without solar, but in 8 years, my loan will be paid off, and I will get to enjoy a much cheaper APS bill. If you live in AZ, I would highly recommend anyone to invest in solar panels because APS or SRP is only going to raise their rates. Solar is a great way to hedge against rising energy cost. There are may reputable solar companies in the valley. I would highly recommend giving Russ an opportunity to quote your system. He uses state-of-the-art solar panels that other competitors didn't use. Installation was very professional as well. They do not hire out their installers. They have their own dedicated installers who even painted the conduit tubes to match my house. Finally, please beware of using the solar companies that knock on your door to gain your business. Many of them are rip-offs. Go with a trust worthy company that has been around for a while.

We contacted Matt to do our basement renovation and our patio. The project was impacted by the fact that our house backs onto  a mountain and to complete the patio (paver stones) his crew needed to carry all the pavers up very, very steep steps. Matt and crew arrived on the first day at the time agreed and from then to the end of the project were ALWAYS on time. Additionally, they dealt with changes we asked mid project in a timely and positive manner. I loved the fact that at the end of each day his crew cleaned up and were always upbeat. The workmanship was outstanding. We have done many, many renos and rebuilds on our own so appreciate the professional, hardworking crew that Matt uses. Additionally, Matt did a great job upgrading our electrical work and ALWAYS  answers texts, emails and calls in a timely, kindspirited manner. I only wish I could take him back to Canada with us. If you need a knowledgeable, hardworking, honest (and funny) individual to do your electrical and/or renovation work, please call Matt.

Two years now and still no bill from SRP.  My excess generation covers the Surcharge SRP charges. Wooooo - Hoooooo

We have had our panels for 3 years, wish we would haver NEVER spent the money. Only the first 3 months did we have a "credit". Like everyone else,  we purchased to save money on a monthly basis, not happening.  Our house is 2200 sq ft, have the house set at 80 and with the solar panels our monthly APS is $325.00. Winter months we have our thermostat turned off and we still havent earned any credits?! There is no "savings" with the panels vs without the panels. Actually,  its costing us more because we have to pay the monthly payment for the panels that are  useless! Titans customer service is seriously lacking with the attitude that they don't care. Each time we've had the come out, "everything is working fine". Well, we disagree as our electric bills say different.  STAY AWAY!!!

This is an update review. I have had solar panels from Solar City since 2011.

On August 8, 2013 I noticed that my SolarGuard was going down and not reporting electricity being generated mid-day many times a week. The sun was shining, no clouds were overhead. Also, my graph started to look really odd, so odd that I thought they had changed the software. -Basically, all of my bars were all the same height, and low. I no longer saw a bell curve as the daily report of my output. And, my reported output was lower than usual, about 10kWh less a day.

I sent an email in to customer service and got a canned reply that the reporting wasn't always accurate due to software glitches and data transmission issues. But, they assured me that my output was going to the power company just fine and the graph was in error. They also offered to help me read and understand the graph, as if I were a child.

I sent several more emails regarding the mid-day gaps in output as they were still happening (3-4 times a week) months later. I was also wondering why my output total in December, when APS does an annual bill that clears banked hours, was so much less than the prior year. -Going in to August I had banked more hours than the year before.

Finally, on March 12, 2014 (seven months later) a technician called me and had me read the inverter, reboot the inverter several times and check a few other things. He made an appointment for a visit on the 14th, where it was discovered that my inverter was faulty. It was shutting down and/or rebooting once energy input to it hit certain numbers. This was why there was no production at mid-day, the inverter was turning itself off. This was also why my online chart was so flat, when the input hit a lower than mid-day number it would re-boot itself.

So, it was very clear that I had lost a lot of output over a seven month period. And, while I had notified SC about the problem on several occasions, customer service did not pass my reports on to tech support; they chose to treat me like a child who wasn't understanding that there could be glitches in internet reporting of data.

I emailed support to complain about the way I was treated, and about the loss of over 200kWh a month for seven months. Here is the entire email reply:
"Dear Bob,
Thank you for your email. This is Terri, with SolarCity Customer Account Management. I hope that you are having a wonderful day.

I'm happy to hear that we were able to get this resolved for you. If there's anything else we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reply to this email for further assistance. Thank you and have a good day!"

No apology, no admission of anything wrong on their end, and no addressing the issue of my lost kWh = dollars.

I sent another email pointing out that there is clearly a serious problem with how customer service people handle tech support issues and how I had been repeatedly ignored when I had a real and serious problem with my system. And that problem had continued for seven months. I also pointed out that it was fairly annoying for them to tell me how happy they were about it all.

Here is the final response:
"Hi Bob, this is Terri again. Thank you for your patience and replying back.

First off, let me apologize for not immediately addressing the inverter issue that had just recently been resolved. I definitely should have, as I can only imagine that it was a very frustrating situation. More than anything, I was genuinely happy that the problem had been resolved for you.

In regards to the lost production during the time your inverter was not producing, that would be covered by our performance guarantee. We guarantee that your system will produce a certain amount annually, and if it falls short, we will compensate you for that. So, if your inverter not producing for that time period causes your system to not produce what we guaranteed, we will send you a refund check for the difference.

If there's anything else we can assist with, please don't hesitate to reply to this email."

So, in the end, I lost a chunk of cash. I got treated like a child for seven months for reporting a real and serious problem. Their customer service won't be trained to respond appropriately (by calling a service tech) to this issue in the future. They won't admit that there is a HUGE gap in communication between customer service and the technicians who work on the equipment. They also won't admit that seven months is a ridiculously long time to wait for a service call to get looked at then fixed.

I was unhappy for seven months while my equipment was faulty and underperforming by 30%. It was nice to have it finally fixed, but, nobody bothered to apologize until after my second complaint, and it's not a very good apology. The company shows no understanding of what went wrong, and has made no effort to fix the system that led to me being brushed off for seven months.

BEWARE: Tech support may take seven months to respond to tickets!
