Best Solar Panels in United States

After taking a 2 hour adult education class on solar I learned a lot and decided we should get solar for our home. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), there are an estimated 306 solar companies that service Arizona. I searched  for companies with over four star reviews and an A+ rating. For accountability I wanted to purchase from a company that not only sold solar but also installed solar with their own employees. I determined that I would only accept the top two solar panels and the top two solar inverters. I narrowed the field and reached out to four companies that met all the criteria. In November and December we met with representatives from four solar companies. I was advised that from the time a contract was signed until the solar installation was approved by the city inspector and approved and activated by APS was typically about 3 months. We decided we did not want to lease a system and ultimately decided to pay cash.(There are, however, good options to take a loan to pay for solar).
The last of four company representatives that we met with was Matt Nam with Sun Services and he convinced us to contract with Sun Services for our home solar installation.
Our solar system went live without a glitch on March 31. In the past 3 months if I had a question or concern I would text or email Sun Services Project Management team led by Senior Project Manager Alonda Dimas. I always received an immediate response.
So check the boxes on Sun Services:
· Strong 4 star plus reviews and A+ BBB rank.
· They represent top solar and inverter companies.
· They install with their own employees not a subcontracted installer.
· Their project management team is responsive and anxious to provide excellent customer service.
· The pricing is very competitive.

After talking to self-proclaimed "solar school dropout" James and scheduling an appointment for a consult with a sales rep, James soon called me back to tell me there was no possible way solar could be installed at my property and proceeded to cancel my appointment. He stated my property, which sits on 2 acres and includes a house and a workshop on separate meters (both of which we are interested in adding solar to) had too much shade. It's true we do have trees but with 2 acres have LOTS of areas with sun as well. I would have liked to have the opportunity to talk to someone who WASN'T a "solar school dropout" condescendingly informing me that solar panels don't work in the shade (no shit), but oh well, good thing other companies exist. Another very reputable solar company has already given us a proposal for placing panels where we do in fact have sun, but apparently the solar school dropout was not interested in giving me the opportunity to discuss options with someone more knowledgeable. Their loss.

I have a reasonable amount of experience with roofers so I had some comparator companies in making my assessment of Caliber. Caliber is by far the best. Rocco and Chris are sharp, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. They were both a pleasure to deal with--took my calls, answered my questions thoroughly, provided pictures with follow up explanations, got me scheduled promptly, and did an excellent job on my roof. I never felt rushed or confused about the process. Caliber is a top notch group offering top quality and good value. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or recommend 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.

Installed a ceiling fan I purchased. Needed to cut into drywall, mount box and wire to new switch. Did a good job overall at a decent price. Ryan the owner reached out to make sure everything was completed well. He cares that the customer is satisfied, which seems to be absent from companies now a days. Recommend overall for your electrical needs.

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!!!

Can't say enough good things about Black Platinum Solar.  The solar system they designed for us exceeded our expectations.  Owner, John Black Senior, kept us informed throughout the design phase of our solar system.  They worked closely with us on the layout of our solar panels while optimizing performance and appearance.  The solar system design plan is then stamped by professional electrical engineer and permitted by the city.  

During the install, Owner, John Black Senior, is personally on site with his crew to ensure everything is installed to his high exacting quality standards.  All electrical lines are hidden in the walls for the best cosmetic result.  Wiring in the attic was meticulously laid out and securely fastened.  John and his crew are experienced, courteous, and reliable.  Although John keeps you informed on every step of the process, he can also discuss all technical details of the solar system if you desire. John's ability to provide complete and detailed answers to all our questions convinced us his company was the right choice for our solar system.  

In summary, if you are looking for a high quality competent solar company with fair pricing, we recommend Black Platinum Solar.  Owner, John Black Senior, keeps you informed throughout the process.  Black Platinum is a solar turn-key provider.  My wife and I are very happy with our solar system installed by Black Platinum Solar.

Had 21 panels put on our roof a year ago.  Out of pocket costs = $15k.
Saved $1600 over the previous year APS bill, and we didn't own electric cars in 2013 (But bought 2 in 2014, as there was so much excess production during the day that we now don't have to pay for fuel for our daily driving).  The system will pay for itself in about 9 years (assuming power rates don't go up ((HA!)), and not even counting the fuel savings), and it will continue to produce power for more than 20 years.  Plus, because the solar panels are raised off the roof, the attic doesn't get nearly as hot, making the indoor temps much cooler in the summer.

I don't know what a ton of carbon dioxide looks like, but I know EXACTLY what $1600 looks like (and what I can do with the savings every year).

My father's solar panels were damaged by golf balls.  Only two panels needed to be replaced and his system is 10+ years old.  Darren was able to find compatible panels and they were installed the following week. (The panels were still functioning, so there was no urgency).
Mr. Sunshine was the only company to return my calls and went above and beyond the typical level of effort made by most companies today.  By doing so, my father didn't have to replace the entire system.
Their prices are reasonable and customer service is great.  Highly recommend!

I had a solar water heater installed by a different company 2 years ago. I was not  happy with their customer service. Of course they were great when selling you the product then not so much when you have issues. Anyways I called the Sun-Earth company and they referred me to General Solar. I called and they came out the next day, diagnosed my problem in about 90 seconds, had the correct part on the truck and replaced it in about 25 minutes. Problem solved and now i have a good resource should problems arise in the future. I would highly 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.

Whoohoo! Harmon and people at this company are as good as it gets. Because of unforeseen circumstances, we were not able to complete the project and had to cancel. They were super at understanding and when we do get solar, we'll go straight to them. Tom Kopp was a pleasure to work with as were Daulton and December. Very responsive. Very professional.

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!

Awesome service, came out the day before thanksgiving to install a 220 v outlet for my electric car. Anyone looking for a hassle free contractor I couldn't recommend more!

We compared a couple of companies and felt we were getting a better deal overall from AZ. Solar Solutions.   They worked tirelessly to install our system and when a problem arose, they were here to fix it quickly.

We have been producing nearly 100% of our energy since April when we became fully operational.   Even on the few cloudy days we have in Arizona, we're generating energy.   So happy to have final made the decision to 'go green'.

I have worked with your customer service, they are as worthless as your installers and equipment.  The communication is non existent.  Apparently a tech came to look at the system, yet I was never updated. When speaking with the cs rep she told when I inquired about being reimbursed for the 7 months of no solar electricity I was told  "we do not guarantee solar production"  

In summary, make sure to avoid this company, read all the reviews and decide if you want to feel the frustration that comes with buying a $60,000 solar electric producing product that does not guarantee production.

YELP needs to add a negative star review! Kyle M. And I have the same issues it sounds like. My inverter keeps going out and Solar City states they are monitoring my system, it apparently means I monitor and call them to tell them about the system going down..... I have had to reset my system 4 times today alone..... They were at my home Monday after over a week of no electric being produced and reset it in two minutes and left...... 3 hours later it stopped producing again and went for 4 days not producing electricity/ meanwhile they continue to take money out of my checking account monthly and I pay full rates for electricity........ Now, I am told, not until next Wednesday for a service call.... I guess they will come out and push the same button I keep pushing to reset and say it's all fixed again......
There service is equally compared to there crappy equipment they put in..... They did some work several months ago and disconnected half my system, so J was producing half power - it once again took my phone call to bring it to there attention, but they did say " we were just monitoring that and we're about to call you@ Yeah, BS!!!!!!
If you are looking for Solar - DO NOT GO WITH SOLAR CITY they are a horrible company and you can't get the opportunity to talk to anyone except people who keep telling you how sorry they are - yeah, then sorry that Fing sorry into my bank account for dollar for dollar what I am losing when this crap system doesn't produce, and I'm not talking .03 cents for electric power - I want line fees, taxes, every single fee that I am being charged for electric power I am am losing because of your crap customer service and crap equipment!!!!!
I know, I know Solar City - Your Fing Sorry - yes you are the sorriest company I have ever dealt with, pathetic actually!!!
