Best in

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.

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.

We recently had some of our windows replaced and our sunscreens no longer fit.  I selected Southwest Sun Screens to replace those screens based on Yelp reviews and neighbor recommendations.  I contacted the company and began working with Patrick who scheduled me for a quote.  During the visit, he took measurements of all windows needing screens and took the time to explain the options.  As these new windows have beautiful frames that are in an outside mount style, we did not want to damage the frames by screwing the screens into them.  Patrick explained that they have an alternative method of attaching their screens that would avoid any damage to the frame.  He also went over the different types of screens they offer and showed me some samples.  After we obtained our quote, my husband had some additional questions and Patrick called him so that he could explain everything in detail.  We ended up going with the 90% solar screens and wow, what a difference!  I was concerned about privacy with a new multi-story apartment complex under construction behind our house but these screens block the view into our home, even at night.  Our bedroom is south-facing and I know it will make such a difference in the temperature of the room this summer.  I already notice a temperature difference in my west-facing office. A few weeks after we had our screens installed, Patrick called to follow up and make sure we were happy with the new screens.  I really appreciated this phone call as it shows the company cares about its customers.  During the call he reminded me of the warranty in case I have any issues in the future.  If we replace our other windows I will be sure to contact Southwest Sun Screens for screen replacement.  Thank you Patrick and Southwest Sun Screens!

We purchased (vs leased) a fairly large 14.28kW system (51 x 280Watt panels) installed by Argent Solar in the summer of 2015.  We shopped around a LOT, comparing purchase vs lease, installers, panel manufacturers and configuration options (normal string inverters vs the power optimizers).  Argent was up front with us (our rep was Charlie, but he might be retired by now), well-priced and timely in everything they did.  No problems getting it approved by APS & turned on.  Our power production this last 3.5 years has been exactly as forecasted (clouds are the biggest variable, but that averages out over time).
We've been very happy with Argent.

While I know the up-front cost to own your system is scary or undoable for most, it is really the better option in the long run if you can swing it.  If you do lease, make sure to read the fine print.  For example, a lease installation by SolarCity would have saved $ up front, but the price we paid for electricity from the solar panels was automatically going to increase by 3.5% per year.  That's insane!  You go solar to get AWAY from price increases!  3.5%/year over the 20-year lease means you're paying almost DOUBLE by the end.  In countries like Germany that have pushed solar & wind power very hard, the cost of electricity has dropped dramatically, and likely that will happen here, too, once we get enough adoption here down the road.  You don't want to be paying a ton MORE down the road while everyone else is paying LESS.  Neither will people potentially buying your house when you move.  Most leases are a 20-year commitment, regardless of the owner.  The wrong solar lease is a liability, not an asset.

We ended up getting panels that had black metal edges instead of silver/aluminum, so the panels are black-on-black, which looks very sharp!  I did a lot of research on panel manufacturers, to include calling a guy I know in CA that runs a solar install company and settled on SolarWorld panels.  There are plenty of other great options (LG, Sunpower, Kyocera) but SolarWorld had the best cost at the time and we wanted to make sure to stay away from cheap Chinese makes for peace of mind.

We also went with SolarEdge power optimizers & inverter rather than the more normal string inverters.  It's a little more cost up front, but having a power optimizer at each solar panel means each panel will produce as much as it can.  Despite being the exact same panel, the power rating is a minimum, as slight manufacturing differences can enable some panels to produce several % higher.  (Looking at my current totals for the week, my best panel has produced 8.42kWh (kiloWatt hours) and my worst panel only 7.80kWh.  That's almost an 8% difference between best & worst.  The average difference is probably 3-4%.)  For a normal string inverter setup, a bunch of panels are all connected to the same inverter and all panels are limited by the worst performer on the string, so you'd never get that extra production.  If you have a shadow from a tree or something on your panels part of the day, then the panels in the shade are going to limit your production over all.  Is it enough of a difference to make up for the extra cost?  I don't know, probably.  If you have a shade problem, though, I think it DEFINTELY would.

Several of the SolarEdge power optimizers have gone bad during the last 3.5 years.  I'm not sure if I got a bad lot or what.  You have a graphic depiction of your system to monitor via a web page, though, so as soon as you see a "black hole" in your system, you just call your installer and they replace it free of charge.  Those power optimizers come with a 20-year warranty, so SolarEdge ships a replacement part and pays the install charge.  Argent Solar has been great for this, replacing the part within a couple days usually, as they have replacement parts on hand already.

Anyway, I've been thrilled with our setup.  When I first ran the numbers, the payback was going to take just short of 8 years (including the state & federal rebates).  Then APS put through not one, but two, price increases of nearly 8% each, so that shortened my payback period closer to 7 years (due to the extra cost of electricity that I'm NOT paying).  And when you think that the value of my house has surely increased (due to owning the system; not true for a leased system), there's a good chance the system has already completely paid for itself at just 3.5 years.  Your numbers will be different, maybe better or worse, but probably an excellent investment if you're going to stay in your house for even just a few years.

I initially had an energy audit done with a different company, recommended through APS. Since I wasn't satisfied with the previous price and I requested some quotes to several different companies. I ended choosing Thermo Shield because Nick was extremely prompt with his response and was able to come out the next day to get me a definite price. We discussed our options and he beat out the previous quote I received. Nick did an excellent job sealing my air ducts and increasing my attic insulation. We could feel the difference as soon as the sun went down.

This is a no nonsense company, Nick was direct with his responses and was willing to work with me regarding the prices. He was very pleasant, honest and had excellent customer service. He completed the job within the allotted time frame and was extremely professional. I would definitely recommend him/hire him again.

T & K electric is awesome! They did some work for me today. Fast service, great job, and affordable price. Will definitely use them again for any future projects. I highly recommend these guys!

Scottsdale Solar did a fantastic job with my solar electric system.  They have the best pricing, installation and professionalism in the industry.   Call Greg for a quote to lower your electric bill and start using renewable energy today.

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.

This is a correction to my prior review.  I was contacted by them and they helped me pay for the unit from what I had received back in tax returns.  The amnount owed is still the same but they were very helpful and helped me get it to an affordable range.  Thanks guys!

No follow up .   Emailed all of my info ..... waited for days.    Talked to them waited for email ...nothing.       Typical customer service these days.

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.

We got quotes from numerous companies and decided on sunpower. Happy we did! The process  was easy and the project went smooth. Chad our representative was great and sent us updates often so we always knew what was going on. Only giving 4 stars because while they were working on the roof, they dropped soooooo many nuts and bolts and if my dog had one hit it's head it could have been pretty painful or my child coulda picked it up and choked on it. They did however go around and clean up anything the dropped after the fact. (So just watch your head while the are bolting things on the roof ) They also knocked our vent hood off and it took me a couple of times asking before it was put back on, but again no biggy and honestly, overall I think it's a wonderful company and those two minor things shouldn't detour anyone from checking them out. Our panels look great and again, every rep/worker was sooo kind and courteous. We've only had solar up for a month or so but so far so good!

After an unpleasant experience with another local company, I gave Phelps Solar a call and they have exceeded my expectations! David and Jerry were quick to respond, explain the quality of their solar panels, and provided an extremely reasonable price. They came out to quote on a Friday and showed up to install at 9 am on Monday. With their competitors quoting 3 weeks lead time and almost 2x the price, this family owned company is a no brainer! So excited to finally be able to use my pool starting tomorrow!

I call for a free quote set up a day on Friday between 9-12 no one showed up. They called a week later and I told them no one showed up so they asked if they could come again so I agreed.  Shane R. came out and did a long display about there company. I said I was interested in it but had to speak with my wife. I asked for the information he was giving me on paper or email he said his computer cant do that but I was ok to take a picture of the info and saving I would be having. Then he had me sign some paperwork, some on city approvals, aps waives, hoa approvals, and penalty's if I cancel after start up. So I did, then the next day Shane texted me at 7am asking if I had time to  talk with my wife and sign the credit application. I Told him I did and that I would like a copy of the documents I signed with him. Then he stated those don't matter until after I sign for the credit application. I said I get that but I would like a copy of the documents before I sign the credit application. He said sure. I have not got any copies of the paper work. Nor have I been contacted since that morning. This was back on October 20 now its the 31 and have received nothing. I will not do business with a company that will not give you paper work I have asked for, that's a bad sales man/ company standard. Stay away from this company

Buy the Sunrun Power Purchase Plan if you would like to save $15 to $20 a month until you move to another house.  When you move however, you may end up paying for someone else's electricity for the rest of your life. Don't expect any help from their transition team.  My house sold in August, I advised them in June I was selling my house and gave them every bit of information they requested, (buyer, escrow, real estate salesman along with phone numbers and e-mails). After escrow closed, I called them again to advise them the new owners are in the home.  

They stated the new owner hadn't signed the transfer docs and that I would be responsible until they did.  They even advised me to get them to sign. I was now in another state.  After several phone call by me, I received an e-mail from Sunrun stating I could be in default of my agreement because we haven't finished the transition and it was now November.  

They took money from my account each month for the electricity produced for the new owner.  Two weeks after the default threat, they sent me an e-mail stating everything was completed.

They attached a copy of the transition documents.  My signature in July, the Buyers signature in August (Before escrow closed) and their signature in November

They had lied to me about the new owner not signing, it was Sun Run transition team that apparently lost the docs and finally realized it when they were about to take me to court.

They billed me again in December but dropped that, they re-imbursed November only and would take no responsibility for their own mistakes.

Do not use this company.  They will fail to act, cover up their mistakes with lies and put you in financial jeopardy, and after will fail to remedy.

You have been warned

Incredibly high turnover in call center staff. Also, upper management is totally new.  May want to consider other options before signing on with these "fly by night" guys.  The total package is sketchy.  Check your options before meeting and definitely before signing on the dotted line.
