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.

Poor communication and incentive promised was delivered entirely too late after many attempts.

They were amazing, loved the service from the representative, on time, got everything done, walk through inspection at the end, great company

Let me start by saying I have been in sales myself for over 35 years, the last 20 in the financial markets. So I did my due diligence and spoke with and met several solar companies. When I met Anthony the owner at Aneva I knew I found the right company. He's very honest and not high pressure like so many of the other companies. The rest of the office is exceptional as well. I truly believe this is the best solar company in the entire valley. I have not had my system installed yet and i will update my review once it's installed in approximately 60 days.( Waiting on APS and city of Peoria) All the companies told me about the same time frame.

Do yourself a favor and talk with at least 3-5 solar companies and than call Aneva. I GUARANTEE YOU WILL CHOOSE ANEVA! If you don't you will have sold yourself short. In my case I had talked with well over 5 and found they were all high pressure. You can save yourself time after getting educated with one or two  presentations and proposals  at home by calling and talking to the companies on the phone to get their proposals. You will get a real good feel for the companies and than call Aneva. Just don't commit to anyone before calling Aneva.  I actually had signed a contract with the first company that came out because the salesman said he would give me 10 days to cancel as opposed to the 3 days by law. I told him I was going to be be doing my due diligence and I asked him if he would give me a better price. He said he couldn't and that I was getting their best offer. When I called in to cancel I ended up speaking with one of the owners who suddenly lowered their price by $5,000. Yes you heard that right. At this point I did not care if what price they quoted me. That was very shady and it became an integrity issue with me. By the way this company was still priced higher than Aneva with cheaper panels and an inferior warranty. If I had not educated myself and had the background of being in sales for 35 years I would have fallen prey to this first companies nice presentation and the likability of the sales rep. I mention all of this so that you don't get fooled. If you trust me just  save yourself time and call Aneva and be done with it. But if you want to experience what I did and feel really good about your decision, call Aneva last after all your other proposals and you will want to thank me.

I was quoted higher prices with cheaper panels and many of  those companies don't even employ their installers, they sub it out.  At Aneva everyone is an employee and Anthony the owner will be overseeing the crew that installs your job. The way Anthony explained to me how the install will take place was phenomenal. It will be very clean without all those conduit lines running across my roof like you see with other companies workmanship.(Start looking at other solar jobs and you will see what I mean)

Most of the sales people in this industry know very little and work on commission and will tell you anything to get the job done, and once you commit to them, you are just a number and they are onto the next potential client. Trust me i spoke with so many of these guys and when I told them I was looking elsewhere, they got very rude and tried to make me feel stupid or use scare tactics. You won't get any of that with Aneva.

I was quoted with top of the line LG industry leading panels, at a lower price than most of these companies with lower rated panels and workmanship. I could have gotten these lower priced panels with Aneva for even less than what these other companies were offering, but I went for the higher quality, and again I am saving money with the LG's over the other cheaper brands I was quoted. In doing my homework, I found Aneva and was influenced by the other reviews I read. I am so happy I met Anthony and had him come out. You won't feel any pressure, just peace and confidence that you have finally met your solar company.
I don't know any other way to say this without sounding rude or insensitive, but if you're in the market for solar and don't at least call Aneva, you're being VERY foolish.

Had Firefly repair some electrical and drop a couple of new circuits in the house.  It was blazing hot outside and the job required quite a bit of attic work.  Dionte and Kyle were polite, efficient and thorough.  There was a little bit of follow up work required but they took care of everything in a manner that exceeded my expectations.  Based upon research I did prior to scheduling the job, I think that the price was very fair and I was pleased with the quality of work.  I would definitely recommend and would hire them again in the future.

Wonderful Experience from consultation to install! Kevin who did the initial free in home inspection was great and knowledgeable about product an tax savings. Devyn was a pro at install and helped me pic the perfect spot for both my tubes. So much sunshine !  My wife came home to a well lit home and commented I neglected to mop that day! Lol jk thank you Az home daylight!!!

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.

Rooftop Solar installed a solar system in February,2021 and did a great job.  They are a very responsive and customer-driven company.  During the sales process, their price was very competitive and I felt they were honest about the system and the process.  They quoted good equipment, and even ended up upgrading it some (at no extra charge)  to help me meet energy targets without upgrading my circuit breaker box.   We ran into a few gliches with my HOA and they were very supportive and responsive to my needs and the concerns of the HOA.  They really work hard to ensure that their customer is satisfied.  A few panels were not working initially and they followed up immediately with the equipment manufacturer to get it corrected.  They have also followed up with me at my 1 year anniversary to check in.  I highly recommend Rooftop Solar for your PV System.

Update: Hahahahaha your competitor?... Jeez the ego on this guy. Thank you for the explanation. So, the dealer fee with another company is $15,000 and with you it isn't. Yet, you are selling the product at the same price. Meaning, the $15,000 "dealer fee" goes in your pocket. Thank you for admitting that you're robbing people of the $15,000 and even worse, you are showing them that you're doing it. You just redirect their attention by trashing other companies and their tactics while singing yourself praises. You can't be the good guy and talk trash about everyone else and compliment yourself in every sentence. And you're saying that being associated with one of the most well known companies in the country was a bad thing for you? Seems economically awesome and your excuse is bull. Just look this guy up. He has hopped around a lot more than once. Everything you say makes me wanna vomit.

This guy tries to sell you high interest rates because he makes more money that way. Turns out you can go to a different company and get solar for the same price but at a 5th of the interest rate. Looks like he is just trying to rip people off. He claims to be famous in the valley and that the public knows him for his success, reputation blah blah blah... he changes companies/his company name every couple years. Reputable, honest companies don't do that. He has less than a handful of reviews online and several of them are his family members. The others are all written using all the word for word clichés he says constantly. Meaning they were probably written by him. The public doesn't seem to know you exist buddy. Probably cuz most people see right through the fact that you don't have their best interest in mind and they send you packing never to give you another thought. Go elsewhere for solar. Don't buy into this guys high interest rate (high commission) garbage.

Had Steve and Kent out on 10/17/2022 to service my 120 gal. solar hot water tank.  I have used General Solar several times to change out the anode in the tank as the water in Maricopa is very hard.  I have been using the solar hot water heater for 10 years.  To maintain this reliability, I had the anode changed out about six months before it was really due.  Also put in a new mixing valve and T-stat element kit.  New flex lines were installed as well.  Very pleased with their service and would certainly recommend them.

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.

So all you can comment on is the timeline and a very generic statement that you design each setup differently?

What about putting panels on the north side,  is that ok? What about quoting me a system with 100% offset? Is that ok too?

Again you don't care about your customers or their concerns and your employee (Dennis) is rude to Harmon customers. That's ok too?

I had the most pathetic and disappointing sales effort possible with Arizona Energy Pros. Their sales rep was scheduled to meet with me at 11:30 am on 8/30. First, he arrived over 20 minutes early and I wasn't home yet for the appt., so he left. I got home at 11:20 (10 minutes early!) and waited for him to arrive. When he wasn't there yet at 11:40, I called him to ask where he was. He said he had already been there long ago but assume I had forgotten the appt. since I wasn't waiting for him 20 minutes before our scheduled time. I did not forget, rather I was sitting at home waiting for him, and obviously wasting my time. He then said he would come back but didn't arrive until about 11:55.

From there, it was the worst sales appt. I've ever been part of. He had no information for me, no presentation to give, and didn't ask me a single question about what I want or need. He simply opened a spreadsheet and basically said "ok, I can put in a system for $x / month. What do you think?" I got no information on their company or what products he was quoting or why. He had no idea what my solar / energy goals are. He must have pulled the quote out of thin air by just guessing at how much energy I need to produce. Had he asked anything at all, he would have learned that we are adding a pool and an electric vehicle soon. There's no way he could have accounted for those in his quote, although accounting for them was very important to me. When I did ask questions, like what warranties do you offer, he just said "oh, we have the best warranties, unlike anyone else." I seriously felt like I was applying to Trump University.

He also must have had another appointment because he was in a huge hurry to just get out the door. I asked if he could provide me more information on what he's quoting so I could at least research the products myself, so he said that he would send me a detailed proposal. That was over 2 weeks ago, and I have not heard from him since our appt.  Do not waste your time contacting this company.

They are likely ok for very basic jobs like installing a fan or outlet but not if you need any troubleshooting or complicated work done. Also strange behavior...mumbles to self and then simply left. Strange...(fyi - I don't use my real  name on this site due to past experience with business owner (not this business) who came to my home after bad review and was violent)

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.

Horrible company. Please choose another solar company. Plenty of other really good companies to choose from.
STAY AWAY FROM TITAN SOLAR POWER.
Contract signed and set to install February 2019. System installed November 2019.  After a multitude of complaints, phone calls, and emails (electricity bill rising) Titan Solar sent someone out to our home to check system...
TITAN SOLAR FORGOT TO TURN IT ON! System was turned on June 2020.
A series of alerts from inverter Nov, Dec 2021, and Jan 2022, April and May. Not only did Titan Solar not send someone over but Solaredge said all alerts were old. "What? Alerts are old when you don't return phone calls for several months!" Last half of April and first half of May, inverter reported NO power at all. In May 2022, Solaredge had Titan Solar install a new inverter. It's now August 20, 2022  (electricity bill rising) and inverter has had 14 alerts this month alone. We have called, emailed, sent alerts through Titan Solar's website in Arizona and in Texas. NO ONE is responding. Oh wait. Sales guy, Mr. Sonny Rock returned my husbands email to Titan Solar by calling me.
He wanted to sell us another 20 solar panels.

Our solar panels are now installed and working!  In our experience, everything took less time than they estimated.  The only thing that took a long time was for APS (Arizona Public Service) to install the 2-way meter (shows when we're generating power and sending it to APS and when APS is sending power to us), and then it took another week or so for the APS guy to come out and approve the hook-up, then turn it on.  

But now that it's running, you can log into SolarCity.com and see how much electricity your system has generated since it was turned on, how much CO2 has been offset (and the equivalent in mature trees), and the kilowatt hours per hour or day or week or month or year.  It's pretty cool!  In 5 1/2 days, our system has generated $41 of elec and offset 293 lb of CO2!!

One other thing to be aware of.  There's a box, called an Inverter that they installed in our garage (on the other side of the wall from the breaker box and meters and stuff outside the garage).  When the system is generating power, you can certainly hear it in the inverter!!  Since we only use our garage for our cars and garbage and cat box, it's no big deal for us, but if that where your "man cave" is, or something similar, it might get annoying!

I'm still SolarCity's #1 fan!!  I say if you're going to go solar (and, really, why wouldn't you?!), then check out SolarCity--you won't be sorry!!
