Best Solar Panels in Phoenix, AZ

I am updating my review, Caleb made things right, he put a lot of effort into it as a matter of fact. The sub contractors I definitely would not recommend, some of the folks on the project management side could work on communication a little bit, BUT the major underlying issues have been resolved and that is huge to me! I would recommend Caleb, and definitely his install crew who were among the most professional guys I have dealt with, they truly were the best crew!!! Definitely give AZ sun a shot at providing solar for you!!

From start to finish Sunny Energy took care of everything. Graham was our salesman. We had a telephone conference with him where he explained the system and the process with us. He was available throughout the process to answer questions. Sunny Energy emailed the quote that same day. We had several other companies give us estimates and explain their proposals. Sunny Energy had the best price and the best way to optimize the return of our investment. Throughout the process Sunny Energy took care of all the paperwork and permits necessary for our system. It took about 2 months from the sales meeting to installation. Two weeks after the system was up and running, Michael called and walked us through how to read and use SENSE and MY SOLAR EDGE. He sent us a copy of the Zoom session so we could review it later. We mentioned to him that we wanted the conduit in the attic or painted. They came out and did it as soon as they could. They were very pleasant about it. We decided to have it painted rather than being installed in the attic. The installers said if we changed our mind and wanted it to be put in the attic they would come back. Michael then called to check and see if we were satisfied. Last time I checked, SRP estimated that our bill would be around $185.00. Usually our summer bills are in the $300 to $400 range. Needless to say we are very happy with our decision to use Sunny Energy as our solar provider.

Our roof was damaged in a summer monsoon. I reached out to a few roofing companies and Rich came out right away and did a thorough evaluation of our roof, recommending we replace half of it and following up promptly with a fair and detailed estimate. After our homeowners insurance also evaluated the damage, we were able to replace the whole roof under the claim. So the team came out and worked quickly. It took about 4 days. Unfortunately another monsoon storm came after the first day of roof work so we sustained some water damage to the interior walls. The team finished the roof up and they followed up promptly to inspect the water stains, brought someone out to repair everything, and covered the cost. When they quality checked the roof, a few spots required fixing and the team came back and took care of it. Definitely appreciated Rich's attention to detail and communication. The office staff are nice too. The project manager we were assigned was just okay (not quite as easy to connect with and not as communicative as we expected during the project).
Even with the hiccups, the company definitely made things right in the end. They were reliable, trustworthy and did good quality work for us. We are happy with our new roof and would work with them again.

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!

In general I am a DIY person. However, I have a newborn that doubles as a black hole for time so doing anything, much less a big project was out of the question.

I wanted to do three main projects - rewire the pool pad, install coach lights, and install a receptacle for a car charger in the garage. I checked NextDoor and found all the electricians that people suggested and contacted them all. I contacted 6 of them and this is how this all panned out.

2 never returned a call/email/showed up for their appointment
3 came out and gave a verbal estimate but never would return my calls/emails to give me a written quote.
1 came out to give me a verbal estimate, talked to me about my overall scope of my project, allowed me to change my mind over details a few times, measured the distances for the project, called/voicemail, and gave me a written quote.

Can you guess who the last one was? You guessed it - it was Ryan of Firefly. Everyone else was a dud.

I am not sure why there was such a discrepancy of levels of service. The only thing I can think of is that the scope of my project was simply too big for some of these guys OR it was simply more profitable to go do small jobs (lets face it, it is probably more profitable to change a fan than it is to do one of my big projects) and instead of just saying "this is too big for me, I'll pass" they just ignored me.

Who knows.

But Ryan came through. I actually only did two of my three projects - the pool pad rewire and installed a car charger. I over-engineered both projects and thus spent more so I cut one of the projects out until a later time.

My pool project was what I'd consider a pretty big residential project. I basically had a sub-panel installed which for me meant going from 0.5" conduit to 1.5" conduit and running big wires. To get all that out to the back yard we had to cut concrete. This may have been what scared some of the people off.

The only thing I can fault Ryan for is that I didn't completely confirm how I wanted the pool panel conduit to be ran. My previous conduit was ran along the bottom of my house and I thought that Ryan would remove that and install the new conduit in it's place. Instead he installed it higher on the wall. While this makes good engineering sense (less moisture up there), I was a bit taken back by the installation location. In the end it was fine it was just when I went and saw it after he was done I was a little taken back because it wasn't what I expected. Ryan did explain himself well and even showed me the old conduit that was rusted out due to it's location.

So in conclusion, if you want someone that will take you from verbal quote to work done AND all the steps in between then Ryan is a good guy to do business with, especially if your projects are beyond changing a fan or replacing a wall switch.

Excellant people from the 1st consult all the way to the installation. Very professional yet personable. We had both a solar tube and a roof fan installed. Both were complicated, yet expertly installed. LOVE the bright bathroom!!!

As an Architect I know the most important decision for any project is choosing the right contractor.  For our family home we choose Black Platinum Solar & Electric.

John & John & Toni Black, father and son & family, and their whole crew have been a pleasure to work with from first meeting on the roof - to our solar power activation. We designed the system based upon the economics: ROI.  Everything was on time and on budget, professionally done with direct personal attention to all details.  "On time" means actually working on your roof the minute they said - not just showing up to get ready. Answering my email at 4:30 AM - sure. Refreshingly there was never a sales pitch, no up-sell, and only 1 extra - at my request. Get what you pay for: no nonsense straight forward quality installation, not marketing, layers of administration, overhead etc.

While completely unnecessary, I was on our roof often observing the work just to learn. Pride of Workmanship personifies their business. They work with finesse, these guys love their work. They have an extensive construction background, so care was taken not to mess up other elements of the building.  And built to last - the old fashion way, earning their reputation every day on each job. There are many technical details in a solar installation from assuring roof penetrations are waterproof to the specs of the micro-circuitry and automated trouble shooting. In our case the software found issues with APS electric servicing the neighborhood and they got APS to fix it. With their reputation and connections they obtained the latest technology prior to anyone else. Their objective is to give you the best trouble free solar installation with the minimum disruption to your life, and delivering more than promised. On a Friday afternoon John finished the paperwork and submitted City inspection approval to APS and by the next Wednesday morning our system was up and live. I'm told this was a record for APS, but it wouldn't have happened if Black Platinum wasn't totally on top of all the details. There is considerable permitting and inspections in this process, and substantial (under appreciated)  value in getting this done right and expeditiously.

The Enphase micro-inverter system they use provide realtime internet monitoring of each solar panel as well as your whole system, shown as it is actually configured on your roof, with energy production and consumption over time so you alway know every day, month and year how your system is performing. So far we are producing more than we are consuming. For telling testimonials look for those reviews a year or later after installation.  I'll post one in a year to verify the ROI calculations.  

I've read so many of their 5-Star reviews online and can now vouch that they are not only credible but represent the standard of work of Black Platinum Solar.

From the start Michelle asked the right questions and from those questions came up with an estimate to not only meet our needs but made suggestions to improve our systems. No high pressuring, no badgering and only honest quotes with no hidden costs. The project manager Dannielle was on top of the project from day 1 and if needed was quickly on the phone with me if something was not going as schedule. She coordinated with all of the contractors and keep me in the loop as the solar system was being installed. I would highly recommend Rooftop Solar to anyone and have recommended them to all of my neighbors. 7 months later I contacted Michelle for some questions and she responded immediately with answer to my concerns.

This company, actually Mr. Sunshine himself, provided a truthful, clear, and concise explanation of the process and outcome of going solar.  No pressure,  I called back 5 times and did not pull the trigger for over two weeks.  During that time I never got a pressure call back.  The quality information sells the product by its self.

The service we received was great. Thy were able to come to work on our solar water heater had an issue. Many other places don't even work on solar water heaters. Kent and Steve came when they said they would, called when they said they would and were terrific to work with. I would recommend them to anyone and have been give a recommendation to family and friends. Thanks Kent and Steve for you great work.

Have worked with these guys to get solar for my home. Very professional and very knowledgeable. They also gave me a lower price than the other company that came and showed me what they had. They gave me a low 2.99 interest rate on my solar. I will recommend them to any and all my friends and family.

Wow! So pleased with my solar installation. There are lots of companies that sling panels on your roof and, boom, you have solar. Harmon was amazing to work with from start to finish.  Here is why:

They were informative through the whole process.

Their installers were super professional. They were safe, courteous, communicative, and just plain nice.

Their work is top notch. I've seen lots of panels with Co duit running all over the place. Harmon makes it look like mtly panels are the only thing on the roof.  Every connection was installed in the attic so it looks much cleaner.

Value. I've gotten got great results from my panels and the price I paid was more than fair.

Service. They have been responsive to all my needs, even months AFTER I paid them and they were done.

Couldn't be happier.

***Update*** 8/5/22 Solar's finally up and running thanks to my husbands dogged pursuit of fixing the mess we'd been served. When the owners read my google review they reached out and showed a sincere desire to make things right. They were surprised and dismayed at all the problems we'd encountered and reduced our final payment by $1000. Owner Russ even came to the house today to ensure the system was turned on properly. I'm happy to update my review and give AEP 4 stars.

Matt is great. He made two visits quickly to install all of my smart switches. Awesome guy.

Made an appointment with Benjamin for Aug. 1, 2017.  Was told I would get a reminder call the day before, which never happened.  I was here waiting on the 1st but nobody showed up.

I called to reschedule, explaining my problem.  I got an apology and was told that someone from sales would call me ASAP.  Waited a couple of weeks.  Nobody called.

I called again, and re-explained the situation and again was apologized to.  Was told that they are in meetings but someone will call me back.

It is now the 21st, and nobody has called me.  I don't think they want new customers.

I am concerned that if I did schedule with them, their customer service would SUCK.  

Disappointed.

Robert was super helpful and shared each step of the process with us. Panels were installed today, quickly and by very nice guys. Should be live by Thanksgiving, thank you!!

Also, Robert suggested a new a/c unit and to have our ducts sealed. Our unit was 20 years old and we immediately felt a difference! With the old unit, half our house was like a meat locker and the other half was sweltering. Now we have consistent cool air throughout our house! He definitely went above & beyond.

Horrors. I am an environmentalist and plan to install solar panels at my house and I will not be using this obnoxious company. I really didn't expect this. I feel blindsided. The "specialist" was so very RUDE patronizing and obnoxious that I was compelled to actually hang up on him!  I am in a state of fear now that they have my contact information. Instead of information, he was only interested in my credit score. Weird and obnoxious. Did I say patronizing?  I will be looking elsewhere for my solar panels.
