Best Solar Panels in United States

This company was a subcontractor for Elevation Solar.  No replacement tiles were brought by them at the start of the install.  In the three days (spread out) it took the crew to install my solar system, approximately 80 tiles were broken and they took tiles from a supply I had to replace the ones they broke.  After the job was "completed", my roofer inspected the roof.  He found multiple broken tiles and many others out of place.  Elevation Solar had a subcontractor rep come out to fix the tiles.  The rep (David) brought 17 tiles with him and spent 3.5 hours replacing another 20 broken tiles and realigned numerous other tiles to correct the mistakes his coworkers left behind.  The crew was never the same each day.  No members of the crew followed OSHA safety guidelines on personal fall arrest systems as they did not use anchors or harnesses.  I advised Elevation Solar I wanted the 80 tiles the subcontractor used from my supply replaced or to reimburse me for their cost.  Approximately 80 tiles were dropped off by the subcontractor.

If one goes solar, I suggest you have your installer have a supply of replacement tiles handy at the start of your install.

I found their customer notifications non-existent. My contact person never let me know what was going on or when I could expect workers.  She would take several days to respond to emails and she never called me if I left a phone message.  Workers showed up in the dark, never called,  didn't knock. Just climbed the fence. They cut my underground cable line, I am still waiting to hear when they will fix that.  The work is good, so far. Just not as informed as I should have been. Waiting to turn on system since Tuesday. Finally got a response to my third email (and two voicemails.)

Contacted them October 17 for a quote, responded back on October 18 saying they would contact me in 24 hours. October 20 messaged again saying no one had contacted me. They apologized and said someone would contact me that morning. Finally contacted me this afternoon,October 25, asking if I needed service. I told them no because I went with someone else. It shouldn't take a week to contact someone for a quote if you care about business. Apparently they don't. I'm most upset that they couldn't contact me at least to say they were busy or give me some excuse. Would never use.

We had Aneva install our panels last October and have been incredibly impressed by them every step of the way. They are excellent with communication, patient and responsive to any questions we had, and they are just plain good at what they do.  We recently thought maybe a panel was causing a leak in our roof and they sent Joe out immediately to take a look. It wasn't the panel (good job, Aneva!), but Joe spent 2 hours here trying to figure out what it could be and removing wet insulation.  I cannot recommend Aneva highly enough.

I was looking to have a chandelier removed from the ceiling and have a ceiling fan installed in the center of the room. I checked out a few electrician businesses in my city and saw that I had the ability to send out a quote request to several businesses at the same time via Yelp. I sent the quote request to 11 different businesses on a Saturday afternoon and immediately got 7 responses within the hour. The owner, Ryan, from Firefly Electric was extremely prompt with a response and his quote was nearly the best I received that did not include needing time to schedule a free estimate to come take a look or a fee to come out and check the job out first. He was also available Monday morning at 6:30am so I decided to go with Firefly Electric. Ryan came right on time and texted us when he got there per my request not to wake baby with the doorbell and got to work. The job took a little over two hours, but that was because the fan was brand new still in the box. I realized after the fact that I should have opened the box and at least assembled the fan, but I didn't have the tools or know how to put it together safely, but Ryan was really nice and put it all together for me. He could have easily said he didn't have the right cover for the hole where the chandelier was and left it at that but he went to Home Depot to grab a different cover plate to cover the chandelier hole. He was very nice and did a great job. He put out a large sheet to cover our floors so that the mess wouldn't get everywhere. I would HIGHLY recommend Firefly Electric to anyone needing electrical service. I will definitely reach back out for future jobs as well as recommend them to friends and family.

We contracted with both Arizona Home Daylight and a roofing company to have 5 solar tubes and a new roof installed at the same time.

Arizona Home Daylight worked great with the roofing company. The project was completed on time and on budget. Arizona Home Daylight did a quality job with great attention to detail. I would recommend them to anyone. We love our new solar tubes. Scott, Scottsdale

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.

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.

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.

Harmon was a great company to work with.  Explained the benefits of solar well and helped us throughout the installation to get setup right with our electrical provider.  I highly recommend this company to help you decide if solar is right for you.

***Update*** 8/5/22 Solar's finally up and running thanks to my husbands dogged pursuit of fixing the mess we'd been served. When the owners read my google review they reached out and showed a sincere desire to make things right. They were surprised and dismayed at all the problems we'd encountered and reduced our final payment by $1000. Owner Russ even came to the house today to ensure the system was turned on properly. I'm happy to update my review and give AEP 4 stars.

Great customer service and competitive rates. Matt was very friendly from the first phone call. He quoted me over the phone. When he showed up he noticed one of the jobs was a lot less work and lowered the price. He found a way to move light switches to the other side of the room without damaging any drywall (two other electricians wanted to tear out my walls). I'll be referring them and using them again 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.

We bought solar panels last year from this company.   Taylor was our sales person.  He told us we would get a tax credit  of 10,000, the we could pay down the amount owed on the panels, even when I told him my husband and I was disabled.  He said because it is solar you will get it.   When it was time for the tax credit I called Taylor and he told me to call the tax guy.   When I called the tax guy I was told we did not qualify
for a tax credit.  She live on a fixed income and was lied to by this company.   We were also told if we bought another home we could transfer the panels to a new home.   That was a lie also.  My husband has Parkinson an it is hard for him to get up and down the stairs so we will have to move.   I can't afford new panels because I have to pay for these.   We were lied to about the panels.  I have been calling Taylor since November of last year.  All I get is the answering machine and he does not return my phone call.   I can not believe that any company will do elderly people like this and my husband is a retired disable vet.  When I called Titan.I was told that Taylor is a salesman and will do whatever he needs to do to make the sale.  He informed me he had no idea what Taylor would say or do to make the sale.  Titan is not a good company.  Minell Henderson

My experience with my rep and solarcity in general has been nothing but outstanding! I definitely recommend this company and can recommend my solarcity rep to anyone who is looking to take advantage of the Arizona sun for a cleaner and more affordable electricity. My rep was attentive and punctual with everyone of my request, especially regarding my referrals. But just like everyone, I still have to wait for approval from APS to turn my system on and start saving. This is the only bottle neck delay I've experienced which everyone must go through. A great experience with solarcity and can recommend to those interested!
