Best Solar Panels in Arizona

I am in the process of locating a solar company for the purpose of inspection and maintenance of an existing system that was installed by another company that no longer exists (previous owner of the home had this system installed). I called AZ Sun Services on 2 occasions; On the first I spoke to a person who asked for the system specs, which I emailed to him. He said he would call me back. My email contained all the information he requested and several ways to contact me - and he never acknowledged receipt of my email or attempted to get back to me. On the second occasion I called and left a message, it has been almost a week and no one has returned my call. I called AZ Sun Services because of the ratings on Yelp - but I have not experienced the same. I seriously question a company that thinks so little of potential customers as to not return phone calls. Good luck - hope your experience is better than mine.

Sunny Energy is the one to choose when going solar, Big shout out to Matthew Thorne, from the initial sale, to final installation he was with me every step of the way and made sure that I was a happy and satisfied customer.

Bad experience with caliber roofing. They were hired by my General Contractor and after their first visit I had flashings sticking up and additional broken tiles on my roof. They came out a second time to fix their first mistakes and left me with even more issues. After the second mess up my GC cut ties with them on my project. I am now left finding another roofer to fix the gaps they left between tiles and try to find matching tiles.

Much like everyone on here, I read the reviews, and I thought to myself this is the company to go with.  They definitely put their best foot forward at the start with getting the owners involved to sell you the system.  To me, the real sign of a good company is how they handle any issues that come up.  You will never have a $30k project without any issues.  But with Aneva, anything that came up was taken care of above and beyond.  

I was paired up with Herb for getting a quote, and being I was in a newly built home, there was no usage history.  There was a lot of back and forth on trying to figure out the "right" size system.  From their estimates they thought I needed a much larger system than what I thought I needed, and we ended up meeting half way in the middle.  Herb was easy to work with and spit out a lot of revisions until we came up with the "right" system for me.

Then came Chris the project manager for my job, and he went above and beyond to make my install a success.  He had a great plan on where to install to maximize production and hide as much of the conduit as possible.  The install guys, and especially the point man Ed, did a great job.  Ed is a real asset to the company.  Check out how clean the side of my house looks.  The install was finished Thursday afternoon, and Friday morning the city approved it.  Less than three weeks later, my system was live and producing.  Kudos!

Now I can't wait for the three month follow-up appointment to review the bills, to see where my production sits.  But so far, it seems on track with their production estimates.

My electrical panel died in the middle of summer heat, I was able to get on Firefly's schedule ASAP and they did great, neat work. Shout out to Hilary for caring that I didn't have AC, and Ryan for being willing to dumpster dive for spare parts before I decided replacement was probably the way to go if that's how old my panel was.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yet another desperate company that refuses to respect peoples property and those of us who take the time to post "NO SOLICITATION" & "NO TRESPASSING" signs.   No I did not do business with this company because they they insist on breaking the law tells me enough to stay away from Harmon.  They put a flyer on my  property that is clearly stated both no soliciting and no trespassing.    I am sure they will come back with some lame excuse like "sorry we hired a marketing company" which I don't care.   If that is the fact I don't care because you are responsible for the company you pay to market your advertising and there behavior with your flyers.    Only companies I see do this are nothing but desperate and I wouldn't trust a company like this to watch my grass grow let alone do expensive work like solar installation.

My wife and I entered into an agreement to purchase solar from AZ Energy Pros in 2021. The main selling point for us was that we could cancel the agreement at any time up until installation. This was assured to us by the salesmen that we met with. We ended up making use of that several months after our agreement  (it is worth noting that at that point we had heard nothing from them regarding installation, but that was not why we wished to cancel). After we cancelled we did not hear anything more from AZ Energy Pros. The following year we received a notice that we had been sent to collections for thousands of dollars by the company, no invoice of any kind was sent to us. The company cited fine print in their contract that allowed them to bill us for absurd and made up charges due to us cancelling, despite what their contracted sales representatives had told us. We feel very mislead and mistreated by AZ Energy Pros.

Came over for a quick diag, was fast, efficient, fair, and figured out what my problem was. Took videos, was prompt, a+ service. I would definitely use Apollo again.

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.

These guys were great!! On time and professional would recommend this install company!

Never ever will we ever make the mistake of buying in to solar! It sounds wonderful at the time but it is the most frustrating thing to have to go through when selling your home. SolarCity was a good company in my opinion before Tesla bought them. The transition to transfer the contract over to the new homeowners that purchased our house was horrible! NO CUSTOMER SERVICE whatsoever from SolarCity-Tesla. The "rep" assigned to us was the worst! It left such a bad impression on us that we will never take the risk on ANY solar company again!
