Best Solar Panels in United States

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!! We got scammed into a solar system in FL and it was given over to these YAHOO IDIOTS that have NO CARE in the world for their customers! Our solar unit didnt work for MONTHS from day one and they sent bill after bill. 6 months later, still no solar production and they sent threatening emails, texts and calls saying to PAY YOUR BILL! When asked from day 1 to come out and fix, they stated they would - did not get fixed for months! I told them I would not pay until fixed OR they could reimburse me for the months without production. THEY REFUSED AND EVEN LAUGHED AT ME!!! They have control once you sign the paperwork and they scam you into signing (there is small fine print and you better read it or you are fucked). This company should be brought down and dismantled altogether. You think you will beat me on this one Sun Services but I promise you will not. Sit back and watch. You guys suck BIG TIME !

PS - DO NOT BUY FROM PATRICK ASCHMANN in Arizona OR Florida under Zuma Energy OR Byosolar. He was the initial scam artist that lied about all of it and gets you locked in. AVOID SOLAR ALTOGETHER!

An outstanding experience. Justyn, my sales rep, went out of his way to alleviate all my concerns.  The installation and operation has gone without a hitch.  I highly recommend this company and will be telling anyone who asks about the panels on my roof just how great my experience was.

Caliber Roofing did an awesome job! We needed a full tear-off and replacement for our flat roof home.

I did a LOT of research and gathered 10 estimates. Rich was on time for the estimate, and was able to give us a price for roof replacement, gutters and even some electrical work to add ceiling fan outlets.

The job was scheduled within a reasonable timeframe. The project manager, Chris, came out beforehand and did some final measurements, lead paint testing, etc.

The job started on Monday. The crew was here at 9:00 sharp. They removed the existing roof, replaced it, applied the foam and the first layer of elastomeric coating in one day. The job superintendent, Tanner, was here for much of the day. Rich and Chris also came by to check on the work. The crew finished with a clean-up job that was perfect.

They returned on Tuesday to place the second layer of coating on the roof.

Our house is small, so I was amazed at the level of involvement by everyone at Caliber Roofing! Every detail was perfectly attended to.

We couldn't be happier with the care and service that we received. Everyone was extremely professional and explained everything throughout the entire process.

Five stars isn't enough, and I'm very discerning with my reviews. I would highly recommend Caliber Roofing if you are looking for a job done right, reasonably priced, and you appreciate excellent customer care.

Anthony and Scott were great to work with. We felt very comfortable with them and not to mention their pricing was better than 3 other competitors. Installation took time as it was right before the APS hike. I'm greatly pleased with my solar panels and best of all...my $20 APS bill. The installers were courteous and professional. We'd strongly recommend Aneva Solar!

Firefly Electric did an amazing job. I will recommend them to friends & family, and will be using them again for any electrical work that I need at my home (I had used them for a rental property I own). If you're looking for a company for electric work look no further! They are worth the (short) wait, as they are busy for a reason! Not pushy at all for quotes and explain what could impact price. Very reasonable pricing for extremely high quality work.
Trevor was awesome; friendly while remaining professional. Most importantly, though, honest, efficient and effective completing high quality work. Answered any questions I had, showed me anything I needed to see, and confirmed with me before leaving that the work that was requested had been completed to my liking, as well as double- checking with me that he had cleaned up properly. Top notch service!

10/22/22  We had Dustin come out and tweak, what we had.  They installed, Solar mounted, solar powered Attic Fan, it was all we needed to circulate more air. It's finally so much cooler.
--------------------

Like most people I did my research when looking into a Solar company for my home.   I spoke with three companies and received three quotes.  Black Platinum was the only company that didn't have a salesperson come to my house and give a full presentation.  Our initial conversations were handled over the phone or through email.  This is a father and son company (John and John) and they both have a background in home construction.  This is relevant because Black Platinum was the only company I spoke with that didn't use any subcontractors to do their work.  They do it all themselves.  They were also the only company that installed all the electric cables into the attic and through the walls.  This means no conduit running all over the roof and down the sides of the house.  There are also significantly less boxes and equipment mounted on the side of my house.  It all looks super clean as if the house was originally built that way.  

When I initially spoke with John Senior, he explained to me that he is constantly purchasing the latest products because solar technology is moving so fast.  He was very familiar with the different products available and it was obvious to me that he knew what he was talking about.  I researched every piece of equipment they put on my house.  I was very happy to learn that the panels and inverters they are using were listed in the top three of every recent comparison list I could find.  There is a lot of debate online regarding central inverters vs mini inverters.  If you do your own research, make sure you are reading recent articles because so much has changed in the last couple years.  However, I am confident that the latest mini inverters are safer, more efficient and cheaper to repair if you should ever have a problem.  Black Platinum also installs "Pigeon Stop" under every panel to keeps the birds from nesting under them.  I didn't think much about the pigeon stop when they first mentioned it, but the stuff is legit.  It's solid black metal mesh mounted under every panel and will easily last the lifetime of my system.

John (the son) is a super nice guy and runs the operation.  He was very responsive throughout the entire process and supervised everything during installation.  He even answered calls, emails and text messages on weekends and after hours.  It's also worth mentioning that both Johns seem to have really good contacts with the city and the power companies.  This helped when navigating the complexities of two organizations (the city and the power company) who don't really have your best interests in mind.  John took care of everything and had the cell numbers of the people needed to ensure permits and inspections went smoothly.  When the installation was complete, he even used a drone to take some overhead pictures of finished project.

Black Platinum's entire team was professional and friendly and I can't say enough good things about them. The bottom line is that these guys did everything the way I would have done it myself and I felt like their only concern was my satisfaction.

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.

NRG Solar put in my work order ticket. I am always worried when a contractor comes to do work that I am not paying for (ie: work under warranty), because there's no sales opportunity in it for them. However, the gentleman who came from Harmon was very courteous, helpful, and informative. He made the modifications needed after an electrical surge caused by a lightening strike shorted my telemetry system for my solar. He was so helpful and polite, what a breath of fresh air. I would absolutely recommend Harmon Solar's technicians, and I hope NRG uses them again if I require warranty work.

This is an outstanding company. From the moment our call was answered by Jessie to the excellent work provided by Tommy.  Jessie was terrific. She re-routed their electrician to our house for same day service...he arrived within an hour. Tommy expertly diagnosed the problem, replaced the circuit wire, and was a delight to work with. Very highly recommend AZ Energy Pros for your electrical needs!

I had a minor electric issue at one of my rental properties. Ed was able to come out and get it fixed the same day for a reasonable cost after the first company I called could not come out for 3 weeks. We'll definitely be using them in the future.

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.

Titan accidentally penetrated my roof with a nail and did not fix it. This resulted in a roof leak after a heavy rain storm WHILE my house was on the market to sell. What would have otherwise been a solid 5-star review for a hassle-free installation has turned into the unthinkable due to damage that now has to be disclosed to potential buyers. Thankfully, Titan and SunPower (my leasing company) honored their mistake and fixed it all for free with-in a couple of business days. Nonetheless, this mistake should've never happened.

Hi all. Wanted to give a 6 month update - pros and con's and some good tips. I apologize to folks that sent me messages directly, I didn't realize how yelp messages worked.  

First off, getting electrical construction stuff done to your house is very difficult. There are lots of permits and approvals required. Be prepared for a lengthy process of getting plans approved, work scheduled, inspections scheduled and approved etc. It took a while for ours to get done, but it was worth the wait. Our roof has flat cement tiles - easier to walk on and install stuff on, I'm not aware of any damaged tiles, but if your roof has those beautiful curved tiles, I would expect a harder install process as one reviewer can attest. I think that Solar City should send their "crack" team of repair dudes to that guys house to make it right and post new pictures of nice matching tiles.

Pro's: The panels are installed and working like they should. We are satisfied with their performance and we are seeing cost savings every month. I can't tell how much because we were on the monthly average plan, so we still have a positive balance with SRP. Our monthly balanced payment amount was 225-240 per month year round.  We are paying less than that every month with the summer rapidly approaching.
I contacted Solar City a few times and got good service every time. Once to ask about the "flip the switch" to activate the panels ( I thought I was supposed to do that but there was one final inspection by SRP and Solar City remaining - they came out, did the inspection and they flipped the switch).
Another time was to express my indignation about a 15 dollar surcharge added to my bill because I did not allow them to withdraw directly from my bank account. I had set up an automatic bill pay yet that wasn't the same thing to them. The 15 dollar surcharge is in the contract, so while I was unhappy about it, I did sign the contract. I found a solution. I have multiple bank accounts (due to relocating to Phoenix) and one is my active account and the other has a small savings and check balance to remain active. Now I send a "payment" to my secondary account and let them take their money from the secondary account. They get their money, I save 15 dollars and my main checking account is isolated from "auto debit" robots.  
You are helping reduce the load on the grid during peak times! This helps avoid citywide brownouts because of too much demand and not enough coming from the power plants. SRP will have to shut down one of their big coal plants soon (thanks EPA) and that means more stress on their grid. Anything to reduce that stress is a good thing, and we are going green to boot...

Con's: You have installers up on your roof putting stuff up there. Not every install team is comprised of anal-retentive engineers, so be prepared for the possibility of a bit of stuff left laying around (there is a water bottle that fell onto a lower level that is still there, a couple pieces of scrap that fell from the roof etc). Nothing that was worthy of a complaint call, but just know that construction is messy.
I'm not seeing evidence that SRP is "buying" our excess electricity, they install these new electronic meters, so you can't see the wheel spinning backwards and the numbers count in reverse or anything like that. Our typical bill from SRP has a solar connection fee of about 17 bucks, and a small balance of electricity that we purchase, so maybe there is some magical process that happens.
It will take some time from the day that you sign the agreement to when they go live. Ours went pretty quickly and it was still around 2-3 months from signed deal to generating electricity. A friend's took more like 6 months, but they are generating electricity now too.

Tip: Remember that you signed an agreement to buy the electricity from your panels - use it! It took us a while to get into the mode of running stuff during the daylight hours (dishwasher, laundry, pool pump, and we keep the AC about 4-5 degrees cooler during the day now). Even doing all that stuff during a sunny day, we generate more than we use (but just barely).
Solar City has met every obligation, treated us with respect, and even sent us a referral check as they advertised. Read the contract, understand what you are agreeing to and call them if you have questions - they are decent folks.
Hold your head up! You are helping the environment, helping reduce strain on the grid and saving money on your bills - all good things.
