Best Solar Electric/PV System I… in Phoenix AZ

Everything from start to finish was seamless with Aneva. They used quality LG panels and have excellent warranties. The entire team was professional, friendly, and quick to return phone calls, texts, or emails. To top it off, their prices were extremely competitive. I highly recommend Aneva.

Eleazar and Gabe at Firefly does it again... Had Firefly come back out to my house for one more job, Rewire a switch from a 14/2 wire for a single hanging light to a 14/3 wire and add a second switch to control a new ceiling  fan light and fan separately which is replacing the hanging light.

While this sounds easy to do, I have done it myself in the past, Eleazar and Gab had their hands full up in the attic trying to route and fish wire around some difficult framing which made me more than happy to turn over to the experts. But in no time they had it figured out and the fan completely installed. So I had them hang a replacement fan in the other room which was already wired up.

Once again, thanks Firefly

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.

My first introduction to Sunny Energy was 3 years ago back in 2018. After doing research on ways to lower my electric bill I decided solar was the best option. I contacted Sunny Energy and Tyler came to my home.  He sold me. Unfortunately, back then my credit wasn't good and I would need a co-signer on the loan. My mother had just retired so I didn't want to burden her with something so expensive.  Solar is not cheap.  I decided not to get it.

Fast forward to October/November 2020, I received a marketing email from Sunny Energy.  They had a promotional deal and it was too tempting to pass up. I had been working extremely hard on improving my credit, so I decided to reach out via their website for a consultation. With COVID lurking, Mike Sheehan contacted me and gave me a virtual consultation.  Once again, I was sold.  Michael ran my credit and I qualified.  On top of that, I was within the deadline of the promotion to receive a rebate for the first year.  From the moment the process started, I began receiving emails from Perla who kept me in the loop.  The solar panels were installed in February and shortly after that I received my rebate check.  The solar was turned on one month later.  Sunny Energy made the process from beginning to end seamless, however, the reason I'm giving 4 stars is because there were times when the communication wasn't consistent. APS came to inspect on numerous occasions but I was only notified once. One time, I got notified to expect a visit the next day but the person came that same day.  Luckily, I've been working from home since the pandemic started so I was able to give the APS and Sunny Energy workers access.  Also, I was supposed to get a login to follow along in the process, but when I called Sunny Energy my contact person seemed confused and never gave me anything. Lastly, only while doing my final "virtual" walkthrough with (a different) Michael did I learn there's a dashboard that contains documents I can reference.  No one told me about it or gave me the login credentials. Michael took care of that after the walkthrough.  Other than a few hiccups with communication, I'm pleased with how effortless they made it seem. After my solar was turned on I received a credit of -$125 on my electric bill.  With the summer months coming up, I'm looking forward to the savings.  I would definitely recommend Sunny Energy to anyone who's interested in going solar.

They were amazing, loved the service from the representative, on time, got everything done, walk through inspection at the end, great company

Two and a half time customer and Matt has always been money. Helped me pick out where to place outlets, gave me a little advice for my own DIY installation, reasonably priced and always was responsive to my telephone calls and texts. Installed pendant lights, ceiling outlet, ceiling fan box, multiple switches, and even came out to tell me that I needed to change a light bulb. Seriously. I called an electrician to have him tell me the lightbulb needed to be changed. Hopefully I can buy a new toy and have him help me out and install something awesome soon! Thanks, Matt!!

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!

After recent chat with Sasha, who helped me out to fix all the major issues.
Also provided with step by step instructions as well as guided on the call to rectify the issues on hand.
Sasha also provided some insights on how to manage the solar system, she also promised that it should have not come to this, and will take care in future for customer service.

We discovered "Mr. Sunshine" (Michael) through several recommendations within our community. Before the Verrado Coffee shop closed he would give free seminars, which we attended, concerning the advantages of solar power. We had already spoken with a number of other popular providers, only to discover that they didn't "really" know all that they spoke of. Michael challenged many things that were told to us by the others & through additional research through Google and other resources, we found him to be the ONLY one that had ALL of the correct, up to date information that we needed to make our decision to go solar.

He promised us that it would be a "very casual, NO pressure" process, & that he wouldn't even ask us for our business at the end. He's a man of his word. We had to ask him "What do we need to do to get this started."

The recommendations he made have worked out as he said they would. The installation was as  clean & professional as we could hope for. The process took some time. (about 3 or 4 months) But that's what we were told to expect. We're VERY happy with our decision. Once you sit down with him, you'll quickly notice the extreme difference in what & how he "educates" you vs. the others "selling" to you.

I recently paid our July APS bill for a grand total of $22.63. Previous bills this year were always a credit.    

Would I recommend "Mr. Sunshine" to my friend & neighbors? ...Without hesitation! I already have!

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.

I had great customer service and also got the best pricing out of 5 quotes. My bill last month for electricity was under $30. Install looks great! Very professional.

I went through at least eight of the top rated electricians in the Phoenix area.  I spoke to two, and another two returned my call, and the rest never returned my call.  Tommy was the only one that would work on a Saturday!  Amazing!!  Do most licensed contractors in Arizona not work on weekends??!!  

Anyway, their prices were in line with the average electricians, even if he charged $50 more for working on a Saturday.

I set it up weeks in advance, and they came out when we scheduled it.  Tommy wasn't there, but he sent two of his workers.

They installed my three ceiling fans and they even caught one of my mistakes.  I pre-programmed the remotes to be different in each bedroom so it wouldn't interfere with the others.  I guess I messed up on one... the remote didn't match the receiver exactly.  My bad.  They called Tommy after they checked the wiring, etc.  All's well that ends well.

I'd recommend this company, and I'll use them again if I need electrical work done!

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.

Great product.  We're pleased with our backup battery.  Misty, our project manager, did an excellent job of keeping us informed of the progress of our installation.  Kudos also, to Melissa, Bill, and Sal (GM).

In our opinion, this installation is superior, and more economical than a gas-powered back-up generator.  With this battery we can actually power our house from the battery during peak electric energy rates.

We sure wish we had done this years ago, although we aren't such technology was available back then.

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))

Fair pricing. Arrived on time. Technician was in and out pretty fast.  Panels look great

Raymond is very knowledgeable about solar and loves what he does! He's not just your average solar salesman. He actually cares about his customers and looks to find you the best rates possible. If your going to go solar. Give Raymond a call. You won't be disappointed.

Very pleased with Harmon Elec/Solar. Customer Serv. in my honest opinion is top notch. Jessica was amazing! Technical component very good. Initially, there was a minor glitch  in the system which ,  no fault of the installer but a product defect on inverter.  Harmon immediately responded and got the system on tract . Enjoying the savings on utility bills which would have been sky high if we stayed same with just APS.  A wise decision to go solar and most importantly went with a reputable company like Harmon
They were highly recommended.  Thank you!
