Best Solar System Installation in Phoenix AZ

This is an interesting review to write as there were many things about working with PEP Solar that were great.., and a couple others that were not. Their Sales Rep (Dallas) was instrumental in getting us to choose them in the first place. His ability to explain the options, process, financial advantages and disadvantages, and in general helping us to understand the current state of Solar in the state was impressive. We had been thinking about Solar for a long time.., but were frequently unable to get comfortable with the basics. (5⭐️)

Once we signed the contract… they try to use an automated system called Bodhi to communicate status. It is a complete waste of time and or resources. It provides no usable information and adds confusion to the process. (0 ⭐️)

We eventually reached back out to Dallas to get status updates.., and he referred us to someone else. Maybe because they think their automated system works they appear to have no single point of contact for the project. I assume David was that person, but it was not clear until close to the end of the project. Over the course of several months I heard from a number of people when I would have inquiries. None were clear about their role. And… if you call the number you get an answering machine that never identifies who you are leaving a message for… it gives you a 4 digit number that is never referenced anywhere else… so it is very disconcerting to leave a message when it feels as if it is going into a black hole. (3 ⭐️).

We originally thought this was an 8 week process. In reality with the City, APS, and PEP Solar in the mix… it was actually closer to 5 months. We signed in July, with an install the last week of Dec. It also cost us an additional $4600 because we found out if we didn’t move our wall to the back of the property line, we would have to pay an additional $10,000 to move the electrical panel so that APS would have unrestricted access. This was above and beyond the $5000 we were quoted for upgrading the electrical panel from 200 to 400 amp service (which is not required for all Solar projects). To me it seems like even though they indicated this was an APS requirement, it seems like something they should have known and been able to communicate at the time of signing the contract so there would be no surprises.

Justin who did the site visits, electrical panel install, and some prep work was outstanding. (5⭐️)

Mike A who was the on-site Solar install manager was outstanding. (5⭐️)

And Good Leap who provides the financing for the project was easy to work with and efficient. (5⭐️)

We would definitely still choose PEP Solar and would not hesitate to recommend them to our friends. We just would give them a couple of “things to expect or watch for”.

We should know within a few months if the system is sized correctly to offset the majority of our electric bill from APS which is what we are trying to achieve.

Showed up on time, communicated very well and did a clean install.

We researched many solar companies and landed on Solar Topps. Their agreement was clear, concise, and customer oriented. The materials and workmanship with excellent. They kept us in the loop with every step of the process from beginning to end.
Highly recommend anyone looking at adding solar to their home to contact Solar Topps

Rooftop Solar is the very best Solar Installer and the products they have are the best quality. I am so happy not to pay APS anymore!

Efficient, clean job well done! Great communication and follow through.

We have been really satisfied since we had our solar system installed six months ago. The Universal people were all very attentive and addressed our demands and questions. This is a local business that will work with you. Who wouldn't like getting negative electric bills, while entirely offsetting your gasoline cost with the sun?

Update:
After completing first year still very happy with Aneva solar.System is functioning well and production of Kilowatt energy was exactly amount they predicted. Follow up on my questions during the year was done quickly. Post instillation service is excellent, they didn't forget me after the sale. Hard to find a business like this these days.

For reference here is my first review from last year:

Aneva Solar provided clear understandable explanation of solar energy and their products. I received a detailed estimate that was accurate and easy to understand. They use the highest quality products (from my research). Job was completed on time and after using the system for few months it is flawless. One thing that impressed me was Aneva's well trreated employees who were professional and well trained, This may seem silly but I noticed their trucks were very clean, it tells you a lot about a company who has pride in their own equipment and treats employees well. Simply the best.

Watt Masters is where I turn to for help on service upgrades and heavy duty equipment.

I’m a project manager for a general contractor and recently had Solar Fix detach & reset panels while we replaced the roofing system. These guys check all the boxes. They showed up on time, wrapped the panels in moving blankets then shielded with plywood, and left a clean job site. The reset was just as smooth, and they broke ZERO tiles. Very refined process in place here with lots of communication.

I would not consider using another solar company for future projects.

I highly recommend Tesla Solar to anyone looking for a professional solar installer. We had them bid on a highly complex carport solar solution we wanted to install. Not only was their bid the most competitive, their knowledge of the engineering and construction really shone through in the preliminary meetings with their design team.

This month, our solar panel installation was finished, and so far, everything is going well. We've had many lovely bright days, and we're generating a lot of solar energy.

Because of how close their office is to our home (we live in downtown Phoenix, AZ) and how well they presented themselves, we chose Blaze Energy. Even though they weren't the most affordable, the terms were better than a few other quotes we received. We know that you get what you pay for, but the price was still pretty steep.

The process of installing solar panels involves many steps, and between the price presentation and the finished product, we had multiple appointments. Everyone we've encountered has been really polite and professional. Installation required two days, albeit day two was more like a half-day due to some tasks that needed to be completed. Nobody will, in my opinion, be dissatisfied with the solar panel installation team.

But once the installation was done, things went south. We received a schedule outlining what to anticipate before and during installation. When events started to deviate from that schedule, I discovered that utility was the bottleneck. I had to make a call to learn this. Although I recognize that Blaze Energy was not the cause of the delays, it would have been great to be informed in advance. Overall, we completed the project six weeks later than anticipated. Even if it hasn't been long, you'd assume that after a significant purchase like this, someone would at least let you know before you have to phone them to find out what's going on.

Aside from communications, I advise everyone considering solar panels to pick Blaze Energy as their installer. They were able to address any issues we had during the presentation and provide advice based on what we would actually need, not what would bring in more money for them.

This is the only reason why I am still going to give them 5 stars. I can assume many people would act differently if they were to go through the same situation like we did after our solar panel installation had been completed. However, I value sincerity and hard work more than anything else. And because Blaze Energy team is both sincere and hard-working, and our solar panel system is operating flawlessly, they’ll be receiving 5 stars.

Run from this business. FAST.

It has been over a year since my solar was installed by Harmon Solar and I have had no issues. They were professional and did quality work. All the pipes were run through the attic so everything looks clean. They even painted the pipes that showed on the outside by the electric panel.

Semper Solaris came highly recommended as a trusted provider, and they exceeded expectations. From the thorough proposal to the preparation and on-time installation, these are true Professionals. A great team to work with.

I called Sunlight Energy Systems for electrician work and CM was EXTREMELY helpful! He was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He really went above and beyond taking extra steps to assure I save as much money as possible which I really appreciate. I highly highly recommend Sunlight Energy Systems for all of your solar or electrical needs. I know they’ll be the first place I call when I need help with anything solar or electrical! Thank you again!!

One of your T&K Electrics Truck drivers was speeding down our street in the west valley. The driver was speeding eastbound on Remuda Dr, Peoria. I whistled then yelled as he past by. The vehicle's windows were down and I didn't hear any music. But he was clearing speeding. The driver didn't even slow down for a drainage valley that crosses the road. There were two kids a few houses from me playing in their driveway. The mother stepped out of the garage with her hands up in disbelief. The driver had a beard and was driving well beyond the legal residential limits.

Very knowledgeable and patient. Helped me save a lot of money on my energy bill. Would highly recommend to anyone looking into solar.

I had an amazing experience from start to finish. Chris took such good care of me with my many questions. The staff were very kind, understanding and communicates very well during the whole process. When I finally decided to go ahead with Sunny Energy, the system was installed and producing energy at just about 30 days. I would definitely recommend this company above all!

Love working with on point!
