Best Solar Panels in United States

Call George Robbins at AZ Sun Services for all of your electrical needs. He responds quickly, is friendly and professional. He repaired existing outlets and added an outlet. He also removed two recessed can lights to relocate them and concealed a cable behind drywall. His prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend George to anyone needing an electrician. I will definitely use him for any future electrical needs that arise.

One of our neighbors had solar installed about a year ago by Sunny Energy so when we considered adding solar to our 2,700 square foot home in North Scottsdale we first spoke with our neighbor and then called the same sales person, Dave Vernon, at Sunny Energy.  

We met with Dave Vernon back in June 2020 to learn about solar and to get a proposal.  Dave was very responsive, professional, and above all - he was honest.  No high pressure sales tactics.  

We chose Sunny Energy and had 16 PV panels installed in late August 2020 by their installation crew which was 5 installers who also did the installation professionally and cleaned all areas around our home.  The installers all had many years of experience and were not sub-contractors.

After the installation, we passed the City of Scottsdale and APS inspections.  Our solar PV system went live on 9/2/2020 using 16 panels and Solar Edge inverter which communicates with our phone app and system monitoring.  

The whole team at Sunny Energy had excellent communications and customer service.  The project coordinator, Taylor, and others on our  project team were very responsive, friendly, and informative.  They  let us know the progress of each step from start to finish.

FYI: we also looked at Tesla Solar but decided against Tesla after we looked at many concerning customer reviews about Tesla Solar's poor customer service.  

We would recommend Sunny Energy.

What can I say, these guys are honest, hardworking, and friendly. My experience has been nothing but great.

They recently helped a friend of mine with a roof repair as well. He's super happy.

Anthony and his team are incredible.  The system uses on high quality components installed by experts.  We are proud to be their customers.
We recommend them to anyone considering solar.

The quality of work is excellent, no cutting corners. I definitely appreciated the help with getting my outlet to code. The project did take a little longer than anticipated and ended up costing $350 more than the initial quote (plus an additional $150 for drywall repair). My advice that projects be explained better at the beginning so I can have a better expectation and perhaps back out of something that I'm not ready for.

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.
--------------------

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 were very happy with Rooftop Solar!  From start to finish they made sure it was about us.  The initial visit was informative and all our questions were answered.  The planning and installation were painless for us.  They had plenty of men working on all aspects of installation and it went very smoothly.  They were here for the city inspection and walked us through "flipping the switch".   The follow up after install was a wonderful surprise as well!  Highly recommend!

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!

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!

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.

This company is reliable. I recommend them for any solar issue even if they didn't install the system.

Requested a Solar Installation consultation, after finding them through Yelp. I called AEP, discussed what i was looking for. They took down all my information, scheduled me for Friday 12/2/16 and proceeded to no call-no show.

Matt fixed my photo sensor.  He is fantastic!  It quit working a few months later.  Called Matt and told him we did not think it was the bulbs.  He came out promptly and fixed it.  It was the bulbs!  Felt bad and called to pay him, but he was very nice and would not let us.  I will definitely call him next time and tell our family and friends.  Very polite and nice!

The most AWFUL EXPERIENCE..
They are there to sell you the system but after that your screwed... I had an issue with install that fried all my appliances now I cant cook nor do laundry and after over a week of exhausted phone calls and messages that were left unreturned they try and come back with $2700 to "patch" my appliances... I am asking for replacement as all of them were new and they would gladly take the money for the system but when you have an issue with the install your up shit creek..... DONT DO IT!!!! There are much better companies

If I could give no stars I would.  To start with the order for 27 panels specified no exposed conduit.  They plastered the side of the house with conduit and had to come back 10 days later to redo it.  I paid the last payment, less the $1k due after connection, on 10/27/20.  The city has not signed off the permit 6 weeks later let alone APS.  I have left phone messages twice, being that they won't let you talk to anyone, and left a written message on their website weeks ago that went unanswered.  Probably the homeowner purchase I regret the most.

We are planning to go solar before summer and this company was one of the ones we were looking at. No longer. You'd think when they send someone out to survey neighborhoods they would send people with a personality and some semblance of friendliness. Not the guy they sent to our block! Unfriendly, rude and combative. Not the way to sell product. Years of potentially poor customer service over rides any cost benefit always. The obnoxious salesmen they place in Home Depot are not an anomaly and more par for the course apparently.
