Best Solar Panels in United States

Matt Nam was great he was very informative and never pushy.  The process was super fast  from the application to the install.  Definitely would recommend Az Sun Service.

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.

Our roof was damaged in a summer monsoon. I reached out to a few roofing companies and Rich came out right away and did a thorough evaluation of our roof, recommending we replace half of it and following up promptly with a fair and detailed estimate. After our homeowners insurance also evaluated the damage, we were able to replace the whole roof under the claim. So the team came out and worked quickly. It took about 4 days. Unfortunately another monsoon storm came after the first day of roof work so we sustained some water damage to the interior walls. The team finished the roof up and they followed up promptly to inspect the water stains, brought someone out to repair everything, and covered the cost. When they quality checked the roof, a few spots required fixing and the team came back and took care of it. Definitely appreciated Rich's attention to detail and communication. The office staff are nice too. The project manager we were assigned was just okay (not quite as easy to connect with and not as communicative as we expected during the project).
Even with the hiccups, the company definitely made things right in the end. They were reliable, trustworthy and did good quality work for us. We are happy with our new roof and would work with them again.

Had a great experience start to finish with the Aneva Solar team, working primarily with Scott and Chris. Had a 73 panel system installed using top of the line components and LG panels with a 25 year warranty on everything. They took care of all the project management details, including walking me (a solar newbie) through all the details and answering my questions, getting all the permits secured, installation and commissioning the start up. There were a couple curve balls that came up during the process and they worked out solutions to address them, needing only a confirmation from me that the solution they came up with was acceptable. The system went active in September '21 and we now have a $200 credit balance on our APS bill that keeps growing every month.  

Could not be happier with the overall project, the end result, and the Aneva team. Thanks again Scott, Chris and Team Aneva.

After I got my house painted, I wanted all outside lighting & fans replaced. I was impressed with Firefly reviews. I spoke to Ryan a few times & liked him immediately & thought his quotes were fair. He did an excellent job & I expect to use him for future projects. He is
very friendly & wasted no time in getting the job done.

Had new Solatubes installed by Arizona Home Daylight yesterday.  Have had a Solatube for many years and love it.  The installation was difficult because this is an old home with electrical and plumbing tangles in the attic space.  Dustin was amazing and figured out exactly what he could and could not do prior to making any cuts in the roof.  One install involved some confusing electrical connections for the light kit  and he called in a reinforcement and they finally figured it out.  My new Solatubes are amazing and the service from Arizona Home Daylight was stellar.  On time, considerate, neat, competent.  You don't find service like this very often..

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.

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.

This company, actually Mr. Sunshine himself, provided a truthful, clear, and concise explanation of the process and outcome of going solar.  No pressure,  I called back 5 times and did not pull the trigger for over two weeks.  During that time I never got a pressure call back.  The quality information sells the product by its self.

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.

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.

Overall my experience with Harmon Solar was... okay. I signed up with Harmon because they seemed to have a really good understanding of solar technology, government regulations, the solar market as a whole and came in at a really good price compared to competitors! All pluses! Ben was a really good sales associate and knew his stuff. There were some hiccups along the way but when they took action to get something done, they were usually fast at finishing the job. One of the problems was how much effort I had to put in to keep the process moving on my solar installation! For the first half of the project, there were times it felt like if I didn't call to follow-up, my project would stay stuck in limbo.

However, the most frustrating part of the process was the payment. Harmon Solar was using Sunrun panels but there was such poor communication between the two companies it was a task figuring out who and how to pay for the panels which only slowed down the process more!

In spite of all this, one reason I still call the experience "okay" is because of the project manager who took over my case half way through and was so helpful! Jessica was very responsive and consistently explained at what stage the project was and gave me updates on what was going on (even when it wasn't a status update Harmon Solar was proud of!) She was transparent and empathetic when there were delays or miscommunications from Harmon and was very personable. If she wasn't the project manager on this job, I might have called it quits and fought with Harmon to refund my down payment. She helped me see it through which salvaged some of the experience for me. Thanks Jessica!

5 months in to a horrible experience so far. We spent almost $90,000 on having 70 panels installed that haven't worked right from the beginning. They completely ignored our concerns for the first 2 months and another 3 months later it still hasn't been fixed. The last 3 months the panels hardly produced at all. While waiting for them to address the issue we are paying for the panels, on top of our power bill, on top of the fees from SRP for being 'connected' to Solar. They don't monitor your panels unlike most companies and despite asking over a dozen times, still haven't given us the ability to monitor them. They ignore calls and emails. They keep saying they are working on it but only came out twice to look at the system. They told me forwarding me their emails to the company that manufactured the inverters wasn't an issue so I could see what is going on. And yet I haven't gotten a single forwarded email. I haven't gotten anything from them other then that they are working on it and I should be patient. Our attic was left unsealed when they did the install and is still unsealed. The last time they came out they left the power box open with the insert hanging off the switches. This was 2 days ago and not even an apology for putting my grandkids at risk, much less an update on any of my concerns with the system that isn't working, the thousands of dollars we are out while waiting, or log in info to monitor the panels. Horrible business practices all around!

Matt came over as soon as he could and could not have been nicer or more thorough. I finally found an electrician Ican count on.

Had issues with the solar converter and they sent a guy to my house that same week to replace it an upgraded one at no charge.. Very responsive!

Crew 15 was incredible; job was done quickly & efficiently. I was kept informed throughout the process by the lead crewman who was respectful. Would use again!!

I would give less than one star if that were an option.   Worst customer service ever.  I was told our system would be installed within 4-6 months of contract signing and it's been almost 8 months.   System is installed but failed city inspection.   Referred another customer and never received the promised referral money.  I have over 50 emails back and forth with their customer service department which is useless.   All they do is give you standardized responses.   They cut a hole in my sunroom ceiling during their pre-inspection back in March 2013 (almost 7 months ago) and never returned to fix it as promised - no resolution despite complaints to their customer service department.  They forgot not once but TWICE to schedule my city inspection.  It finally got scheduled AFTER I called and reminded them....I have never received such unprofessional uncaring service from a company before and have serious concerns about being tied to them for the duration of a 20 year lease.  Oh, and the electrician "no showed" on day two of our installation - completion was then delayed to a week and a half vs. 2-3 days as stated.   When you email them you receive an auto response saying they'll address your issue within 2 business days.   It hasn't been uncommon for them to fail to reply or send delayed unhelpful responses.   If you live in Peoria, expect your building permit to take 3-4 months for approval.   Mine had to be resubmitted for reasons unknown as they wouldn't tell me despite my inquiries.   Don't expect Solar City to follow up with you or notify you of any delays.   Once the contract is signed if you lease, you're forgotten about.   If you have a home energy audit completed, don't expect them to send it to you automatically as they're supposed to - I only received mine after calling and asking where it was 2 months after completion.   I finally gave up and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.   Not surprising that I was among numerous people who have had to resort to that measure for resolution of my issues.
