Best Solar Panels in United States

Solar City is the best solar company we used. They were incredible from start to finish. They have a great team of professionals that are knowledgeable and friendly. From the first contact to the final installation, Solar City was there with us every step of the way. They answered all of our questions and walked us through the entire process. We are extremely satisfied with the outcome and highly recommend Solar City to anyone interested in going solar.

When I was researching solar companies to hire for my home I found Solar Shark to be the best one out there as far as service , panel quality, craftsmanship, and customer service. I have a busy schedule but they made meeting with them easy and convenient through a comprehensive and step by step virtual presentation. I felt very comfortable with the entire process of understanding how solar works, their product quality, the savings that are enjoyed with solar power, and the fact they had a solid organization I could rely on.

The experience was excellent. Brad was super responsive and helpful. The screens were ready early and they gave me the option of having them installed earlier. The price was a great deal. They installed the screens and a monsoon came along- the screens held fast. The temperature in the house is easier to maintain. I highly recommend this company and their products!

Here's how getting solar from Argent went: I chose Argent because my neighbor was pretty happy with them and he would get a kickback if I did. I didn't shop around for other solar companies, so maybe there are better options, maybe not. If you decide to get solar because of this review, message me - keep the kickback chain rolling!

PROCESS: I got a quote for solar installation from and Argent rep in March of 2017 - came to the house, recommended a system and panels for our needs, and explained the process and financials. Once we decided to do it, Argent connected me with the loan company (Mosaic) and helped completed the applications and permits with APS online.  The applications were incomplete at first, after 2 rounds of edits, they were approved in July. The system was installed over 2 days the last week of July, then APS came out to inspect it that same week. They found the crew hadn't installed the grounds, it took 2 weeks to get them back out to fix it, then APS inspected again, found the site diagram was missing, Argent brought it out the next week, then the system passed inspection, APS swapped out the 2-way meter, and turned the system on.  I can use an app to check my daily/monthly production, accurate to a few hours and by the panel, all via wireless signal from the converter.

POWER BILLING: The solar panels give us credits that can be applied to our bill. Overflow credits can be saved and applied throughout the year (i.e. in the summer), but the overflow credits reset every year.

SYSTEM BILLING: Our loan is front loaded, so we have to give Argent the tax credits we get from installing solar (roughly $6k combined) by 2019, otherwise the monthly payments go up from $95 to about $140 a month (system was $20k total for us)

SAVINGS: My power bill has gone down to between $30-$40 a month, before it was between $150 and $300 based on the season. Combined with the solar payment, about $130 a month. I estimate it will save me $600-$1000 a year, but most of the payments now go to paying off the system, which will add value to our home, and eventually we can pay it off and our bill will be very low and consistent each month.

ARGENT: While the system is as promised, there were mistakes made in the applications and installation that unnecessarily delayed the timeline, and poor communication along the way. I felt like they didn't really care about the customer, my calls were always rushed, and I was told "Don't worry about it" too many times when I called because they had made mistakes. Poor customer service and organization - why not get it right the first time!?

Paul & Jose showed up today and took care of adding insulation to my attic. These gentlemen are friendly and courteous. They made sure they covered areas in which they were working to limit dust & mess. They let me know what they were doing and when. When the job was completed they showed me their work. I believe that they went the extra mile. Great job by great gentlemen. Thanks Paul & Jose.

It always happens...when you're expecting visitors, the Air Conditioning goes out. I called T&K at 7:00 am on Wednesday morning, and explained the situation...my 75 year old mom was arriving one day later, and she couldn't go without AC due to health issues.  They understood and came out quickly and assessed the issue, then early the next morning I had a new unit installed.  They listened, were responsive, and did a terrific job. They worked with the budget I had and were very clean, professional and quiet during their assessment and installation, which was important since my wife and I both were working from home. I'd definitely use them again, and my mom is happy to have good cold AC for her bedroom:-)

Greg at Scottsdale Solar was great. All work was completed exactly as he said it would be and in the time frame he specified. My monthly saving are even slightly better than expected.

From my personal experience, I can say that Truvo is an excellent company that truly cares about their customers. They had a team of professional roofers who were willing to go the extra mile.

I highly recommend Truvo to anyone in need of roofing services. Whether you need a new roof installed or just a repair.

We had the Sun Power system installed in 2012.  It has since had three malfunctions,  The system has been providing approximately 1/2 its rated power output for nearly five months.  Three cases were opened with Sun Power.  The only response has been that they will evaluate the power production in March, the anniversary month.  The system is under constant monitoring and its low production is quite obvious to a casual observation.  This is quite unacceptable and I would caution anyone to seriously consider this type of reliability and service before entering in to an installation.

From start to finish, I was very happy with my experience with Solar Penny.

The owner is very knowledgeable and the prices are competitive.

They helped me design a system that would be right for me. They didn't oversell me.

The installation went smoothly except for one hiccup. The installer didn't check to see where the bathroom vent pipe was located. After he cut the hole for the charge controller panel he found it. So instead of putting it in a better spot, it wound up with a surface mount box. It's ugly.

UPDATE:

They called in another installer. He found many serious wiring and installation problems and had to remove and reinstall most of the system! Well, all was good until this week when we took the camper in a road trip. We started noticing a strong odor from the black tank. After much searching and aggravation, we discovered the the original installer they had working on our camper had damaged the seal around the soil stack. Owner states he is no longer using that installer.

Great service from Nick and his company, I literally texted him nextdoor this morning, he responded very fast, and was at my house in 2 hours to fix our AC unit, now it starts and operates much better, much quieter. Thank you very much, wish you and your company all the best...Vince (U.S. Navy (retired))

From the consultation to the install of my solar panels, Coyote Solar kept me updated the entire time! The consultation was very informative and the employees at Coyote Solar had an answer for every question I had about solar. I always thought solar was a huge investment, but after hearing about the no money down program with Coyote Solar, I couldn't say no to going solar! With Covid 19 affecting my income last year I needed to find anyway possible to save money, and going solar was the perfect choice. Since going solar, my summer electricity bills were cut in half and I am saving close to $49 a month on my average electricity bill. Thank you Coyote Solar! You definitely helped my family and I save some cheddar!!

We purchased our home in Arizona last year and we weren't considering to purchase solar - as it was an added cost.  But Raymond sat with us more than once to explain the benefits and the rates for purchasing solar. Raymond processes a high level of expertise and you can tell that he loves his job!  He's not only selling you the best product, he's educating as well. If you care about the environment and you want to save money on your electric bill, let Raymond tell you about solar and you too can save!

I was happy with the installation sunpower did on my project.  Everyone was helpful and informative.  The sales professional Greg Field was extremely informative and knew much more than his competitors.  Sunpower has been in business the longest in an overcrowded field.  My only regret is that I did not get more solar panels.

Thank You for the best service. Glad to have you guys doing the winterizing on our solar pool heater, especially on short notice  We'll check back in the late spring to make sure we're set up for the summer.

Modern City Solar is a great company! Very easy to deal with, they were so helpful from start to finish.
This was one of the best overall experiences I've had with a vendor.  The sales agent that came in was so informative and the way he did the presentation sold us right away. Payments, loan terms and warranty information were easy to understand. No hidden figures or small print. The approval for the lease was done on the spot. Signing up for it was a breeze.
The installation process quick and clean. They kept us informed throughout the whole process and answered all my questions. They kept me updated  on the status and informed me what to expect. Very flexible with my schedule. Their answering service is always available and return calls right away, they won't leave you hanging. The girl who answers the phone is knowledgeable and gets things going right away. Modern City Solar people have it together. If you are looking for a solar company and want the best possible experience be sure and choose Modern City Solar. I would recommend them to manage your solar installations

My panels have been installed for 18 months now.  I'll start with what I am really ticked off about.  You should consider these things when making your decision.  I signed up with the PPA Plan.

1) Installers came 2 days earlier than scheduled and gave me no prior notice.  I came home from work to discover they installed the power panels on the exterior side of my house when they were intended to be in the interior of my garage.  Will not move them without charging me.  I signed an agreement for a system that was over-engineered with the intent of adding a pool.  I no longer have the proper clearance to get equipment in my yard to dig the pool due to the electrical panel placement.
2) I now have a major pigeon problem.  My roof and sides of my house are COVERED IN CRAP and broken eggs falling out of the nest for my dog to eat and become diseased.  I have about 20 nests under my panels.  Sunrun should be installing bird screens at the time of install.  Instead, they tell you they had no way of knowing there was a "bird problem in the area". SERIOUSLY?!?!  The panels are the cause of the bird problem.  Now I'm told I have to pay $2,000 to have them fix a problem that should have never been a problem if Sunrun was pro-active and knew their business. This isn't something I should have to ask for during the design phase.  They should know this.  The (3) quotes I received; each company said birds are ALWAYS a problem with solar panels.

Positives:
1) I save about $500 p/y on my electric bills.  But the savings won't truly start until 4-5 years because I will have to pay $2,000 out of pocket for bird screening and clean up.

I live in El Paso TX, and today is July 26, 2019, my system was installed and running by the end of April (44 panels a big system). Since that time the main breaker (250 amp) has tripped 5 times June 10 and 26 and again today July 15, 20, and 21, and takes at least 30 minutes to cool down enough to reset. The first time I just reset the breaker thinking it was just a fluke but when it happened, I called the customer service line and was told I needed to call an electrician at my expense to see why their breaker that they installed was not working properly. I was also told if I wanted them to come out it would cost me $200.00 to fix something, they should have installed correctly the first time.
I called an electrician who said that the breaker got too hot because either it had too much of a load (I have a 44 amp system that's a big system) so probably not the issue, or the breaker was faulty, or the heat from the El Paso sun beating down on it directly at 2PM (100-105), or the system was engineered incorrectly so if it happened again call the company and tell them to come look at their system.
July 15, 2019 it happened again and I called again and was told that they would contact the local office here in El Paso TX and someone would contact me in 24-48 hours meanwhile it was 102 and I had no AC and all my electricity was off for about 45 minutes. Later that day Benjamin Taylor the Project Manager from the Phoenix office called and said someone for the install team would be at my home after 1pm the next day July 16, 2019. I waited and no one came. I am a Sr. PM and I would never treat a client like this, just bad business and if I did, I would be looking for a job very soon.
July 19, 2019, I called to speak with Mr. Taylor and he was not in so I left a message and never heard back. Both July 20 and 21, 2019 the breaker popped again so I called Mr. Taylor again but he was not available so I left a message again with no return call. However, I called back about 2 hours latter and did finally speak o him and was told he would contact the install team and call me back with a date and time for them to come out. Again, here it is July 26, 2019 and I have not heard from or seen anyone for that company about the issue.
If it doesn't get fixed, I will be looking for an attorney to get me out of this BS Contract and have them remove the panels and go back to El Paso Electric. I never had a problem with breakers tripping when they provided my electricity, oh and I still receive a bill from EP Electric each month for $20-$40 dollars so why don't they just kick in when this system shuts down?

I'm starting an ANTI-ERUS campaign in my neighborhood and you should too. Going to put a sign in my yard and around the neighborhood on street corners, parks, etc. that says DO NOT GO WITH ERUS FOR YOUR SOLAR NEEDS THEY DO NOT FOLLOW-UP AFTER INSTALL. My brother closes on a house Aug 30, 2019 just across from me and wanted solar on his house, if ERUS was better I would recommend them but now I have told him to stay away and go with someone else.
