I bought a small charge controller. It smoked. Took it back and was replaced with no trouble.

We had troubleshooted and identified the problem. I needed all 4 connectors on the solar panels removed and new ones added. It was done incorrectly and didn't work. I had to take my van to another shop ti get the problem corrected! Very disappointed. read more

I'm a DIY'er. I had a 300w ground deployed solar system that I wanted to upgrade. I had a good but imperfect understanding of what I needed exactly to upgrade the solar on my camper. They answered a few of my questions, gave me a couple tips. Then made the sale of an additional 600w of panels, a Victron 150/70 charge controller, and some wiring. The system works great. But was a lot of work installing, took me about 4 days. Sandy and a couple of techs really helped me out. I will certainly be coming back. read more

A+ We came in twice before making our purchase. Both times Rick was super helpful and answered all our questions! When you're spending that kind of money you want to make sure you're getting the right set up. We felt well taken care of. Craig (owner) came over and talk to us for a bit. Really nice guy. We think our guy that installed batteries is Jesse. He didn't let us leave until we knew how everything worked and had app set up and ready to go. Everyone was awesome. Excellent customer service. Our next purchase is solar panels. When we're ready to add them you can bet we're coming back to Discount Solar. read more

Craig and his team are true professionals. They provide top notch service and quality parts at fair prices. They installed solar + inverter + batteries in my truck camper. Go with Discount Solar if you want things done the right way. read more

There are other places in town that sell solar products but this company by far is the cheapest and most knowledgeable. The main place in town that sells solar is a joke. They have the big billboards and a great advertising campaign but they are a joke compared to the professionals at discount solar read more

Good place to go for DIY solar supplies, especially for RVs. Got a very high-quality 20 foot MC4 extension cord for my EcoFlow power cube and suitcase panels. Also got a MPPT charge controller to later add on to my house batteries so I can also charge them with my suitcase panels. read more

Thank you Discount Solar for the great solar installation! System is working great. I spent 3 months talking with Rick and Craig about the design. Richard, did the inside design and mounting, is as meticulous as I am, and everyone knows my OCD. We have 4-170 watt panels mounted on ®SolaRVector electric tilt modules which are remote controlled. The panels feed a Magnum PT-100 MPPT Charge Controller, the controller leaves room for future panel expansion. The charge controller feeds solar power to 3-150ah LiFeBlue Lithium batteries which in turn feeds a Magnum MSH 3012 hybrid inverter. I chose the hybrid to supplement 15watt shore power when parked in friends driveways. We monitor and control the system with the Magnum ME-ARC remote control and ME-BMK-NS battery monitoring kit. The final touch is a automatic generator start control. The Magnum ME-AGS-N will start the generator when the battery state of charge drops below 20% charge, and when the temperature inside the RV raises above 90 degrees. We have operated the system five weeks since installation. The system has been flawless. read more

Looking forward to picking it up and getting out on a trip! The have all been extremely helpful and cooperative working with all my concerns! Thank you read more

Have had 3 or 4 complete installs over the years ... solar cells, controller, sine wave inverter and battery chargers. Installed on diesel pusher motorhomes and fifth wheels. No more. Met with rude employees and poor attitudes starting with salesman, Stew and continuing along this week. Waslked away from $4, 700 install and comparable system installed next day at Solar Bill's for $3,000. read more

Our experience with Discount Solar was less than stellar, way less... We were looking to add to our solar panels on our RV (we had 2 - 100 watt panels, wanted to add a 3rd one). We decided to make the long drive to Quartzsite due to the reviews and quote we received over the phone for a 190 watt panel installed for $435 from Discount Solar. We made an appointment, arrived a bit early and waited until our appointment time. The panel was installed and the bill went from $435 to $590. My wife paid the bill, not knowing what the original quote was. I called to discuss with the owner and after more than a week playing phone tag he told me that the quote was for the panel only, but I had verified that INSTALLATION was included with the salesman before we made the appointment and that played a major factor in our decision to use them. After giving us a hard time and telling us we were asking for way too much regarding the quoted price, we were finally refunded the additional charges. He did at least honor the quoted price. After install, my wife asked how we could tell that the panel was working. She was told that we would notice a difference on a sunny day (it was very overcast the day of install). Come to find out, they didn't even bother to test their work. After blowing multiple fuses on our solar system and not being able to use the new panel during a month long trip, we had a mobile repairman come and take a look. The reason for the blown fuses was that the panel had been wired backwards!! It would have never worked and continually blown fuses without being repaired. We had to remove the panel and have it wired correctly. We ended up spending $170 to fix their work that could have been avoided if they had only tested it! It was as easy as unplugging the other panels. The controller told us the panel was wired backwards! MAKE SURE THEY DEMONSTRATE THAT THE SYSTEM WORKS BEFORE YOU PAY THEM ANY MONEY! read more

Merry Christmas to me! I bought a brand new Thor Chateau 22E Class C but it only came "wired for solar". Since I planned to "boondock" in the Quartzsite, AZ desert for the winter, I asked my "experts" and Discount Solar was highly recommended. I received a same day estimate quote for three panels and two lithium batteries. Their scheduler Matt had me on the books and even called the day before to confirm my appointment. The crew of Charlie, Dan and Jesse were on the spot to park me and to start the installation of the panels, batteries, and even found creative out-of-sight spaces for my new inverter and charge controller. Owner Craig also provided websites and apps so I can monitor my solar and battery status. Craig also found a water leak problem that I wasn't aware of that a mobile tech will be looking at tomorrow! THANKS CRAIG! BTW, the final price came in UNDER THE ESTIMATE! I'm a happy camper with 570 watts of panel on my roof. read more

Discount Solar - Three 190 watt solar panels were just added to the roof of my 2022 Thor Chateau 22E. Craig & the crew of Charlie, Dan, and Jesse were great! - Solar Installation Near Me - Quartzsite, Arizona

I showed up without an appointment and they worked me in. They are basically rewiring my solar system that was installed kind of sloppy. Really nice people and they are getting me the most bang for my buck. I'm coming back. read more

Let me start my review with a little bit of background... I recently went from a travel trailer and bought a 2019 Cougar 5th wheel, and I've decided I want all of the bells and whistles in this new rig, including solar and lithium batteries. Oh, and I know nothing about installing solar beyond what I've seen on YouTube. Now I live in Los Angeles county. You would think that there would be plenty of solar places in "green" LA county--well, there aren't many places at all. And the places that I could find seem to dabble in rv solar installs more as a hobby or side business than an actual business. I didn't want to be someone's experiment. My research led me to Discount Solar. Excellent reviews on Yelp including some mentions that they don't try the upsell. Remember, I know nothing about installing solar beyond what I've read on YouTube. I called and talked to a couple of people, including Stan. Everybody was extremely helpful, and were very patient with my questions and general lack of knowledge in this field. They told me what they recommended--i asked them about some additional things, but they simply told me they were unnecessary but they would sell it to me if I really wanted it. They didn't push anything on me that they felt was not needed, and they gave me some choices if I wanted to go with equipment that will do the minimums or if I wanted to go with a more premium setup. Here's the one negative--they are not open on Saturday or Sunday. I guess I can't blame them, I don't want to work weekends either. These guys are knowledgeable, friendly, customer service oriented, skilled and fair. I don't know what else you would want from any business. read more

This place has done work for me 3 times. They installed my first system on my 28ft trailer. When the inverter failed about a year later they covered the replacement. I had them move the system to the next trailer I bought and it works great, I can run my coffee pot, toaster or microwave. Great when boondocking or even if I stop at a rest area for a night when traveling. I have just had them add a system to a third trailer and so far it's great. The staff is very knowledgeable about what is available and what type of system you need based on their detailed assessment when you book the appointment and when you arrive. read more

I was shopping prices for lithium batteries for my 2019 Leisure Travel Van to replace my Lead acids. Battleborn quoted me $2k for 200ah + battery monitor and isolated charger. I walked in and explained my sitch to Matt and he said all I needed was the batteries and my system would work fine until I decided to upgrade the other components, if desired. They managed to fit me in same day, and I paid a little under $500 less and have been happy ever since. No more waking up to critical low levels on my power bank. And I can enjoy running my kitchen appliances or electronic devices without worrying I won't be able to replenish the used power. Their LiFeBlue LifePO4 batts have a built in BT monitor I call up on my phone to see where my levels are. I almost fell victim to the popular brand hype. Nothing against Battleborn, but I think if you want a product that will provide a solution, and an installer that will give it to you straight without upselling or salesy BS, you're going to love Discount Solar. My only qualm, if it qualifies is that they had to modify the bay to fit the batteries because the LiFeBlue product was slightly taller than the lead acids that were in the space under my step. That being said, the quote was itemized and in writing, they fit me in during a very busy season, and it was a clean install at a great price. read more

I highly recommend Discount Solar. We needed solar for our new RV and knew very little about it. All the staff there were very knowledgeable and Craig spent a lot of time with us figuring out exactly what we needed and then provided us with a detailed estimate. Richard and Michael did an outstanding job installing it and even moved an existing panel for maximum sun exposure. Richard is a true craftsman and his work is excellent. We were very happy with our experience and when it was time to pay there were no hidden charges. read more

What a great group of guys! So many options of batteries, cables, connectors and solar panels to choose from. Don't worry if you don't know much or anything regarding solar, they will walk you through step by step of what you will need to meet. your needs. I got two additional 100 watt panels installed on my truck camper and they did a very professional job in the time promised. I drove from Orange County to have my work done as they are that reputable. read more

We have considered installing a solar system on our RV for many months. I stopped by Discount Solar to inquire about how the systems works and Stan answered the questions I had and how the system would blend with my existing equipment. I was so impressed that we set up an appointment for Saturday with Mike. On Saturday, Kendon and Clayton fully explained what the process would be and looked for my input where the monitor. It took them 5-6 hours and the job was completed very clean and professionally. Kendon explained the system and how to read the display. My hats off to Craig, Stan, Kendon, Clayton, and Michael, for an outstanding job. Their service is impeccable. read more

I bought a new Lance Travel Trailer in November and got to Quartzite in mid February of this year. Despite having a generator that I used sometimes and a 100 watt portable solar panel, I had killed my two Interstate batteries shortly after I got to Quartzite. So I checked Yelp and saw that Discount Solar had good reviews. Now I know why. At first I was thinking about getting a few solar panels and a couple batteries and a good controller, and that's all they sold me. There was like zero upset at this place. After they started installing my equipment I told them I was interested in an inverter but they said they didn't have time that day. No attempt to get me to reschedule or buy anything else. So I went back to my BLM campsite for a week to try out my new solar system and decided I wanted to upgrade. So I returned and this time got the inverter, two more batteries and replaced my charger. At times they had three installers working on my unit. And as before, zero pressure to upsell. They are highly professional an very knowledgable about their products. I watched them do a lot of the installing and was glad I decided to pay professionals to do it. I am very happy with the quality of the products I bought and their installation and highly recommend them to anybody who needs a solar system who is down in the area. Because they don't pressure people to buy anything, I especially recommend you do your homework first and know what components you want and roughly what your solar requirements will be. The only downside is that they close on April 1st and are up north in the hottest months. read more

Good experience here getting solar for our Class A motorhome. The guys are helpful in explaining what you need and showing the parts they have in stock. Installation day a team worked on installing the panels, new inverter/charger, and controller. Everything looks good and seems to be working great. read more

Near the end of January they installed solar on my RV. I chose to go with changes to what I wanted suggested by Dan and Matt. Having used it for a month now I'm glad I went with their expertise rather than just the research I'd done. The install was complete in less time than they told me to expect, and Charlie went through all the details of the install making sure all my questions were answered. I've been 100% happy with the install. Sandy followed up After I've had a chance to get used to the system to make sure I was happy with everything. Today they moved some of the solar equipment in my RV to make my life easier. Matt, Charlie, and Steve again knocked it out of the park for me. They were again done in less time than quoted, clean up after themselves, and made sure everything looks great. Both times they've done work for me their prices have been fair and competitive for the quality of equipment and work. They get top marks across-the-board as far as I'm concerned! read more

We had a problem with no power coming in the motor home house, generator worked well but nothing from the battery. They squeezed us in their busy schedule and resolved the problem in a very short time, and got us back on the road again. I highly recommend this company, they have a great attitude and a servants heart! I just can't say enough how happy we are that we went to them. A good friend recommended them after they installed a solar system in their rv. Great people! read more

Fantastic operation! Extremely knowledgeable, sold me only what we agreed I needed-no more; didn't try to upsell. Installation was professionally done after we had a joint planning meeting to agree on panel placement, cable routing, rearranging existing inverter display to fit new BMS/solar panel controller remote monitor, and thoroughly explained the programmed settings used and system operation. Going back this week to add one more panel and upgrade my factory battery charger. Highly recommend!!! Go see Stan, Craig, Mike or any one of the folks there! read more

Wow, we had this business put solar on our RV four years ago. Today we found out we we're lucky the 5th wheel didn't burn down. The techs at the dealership said it was the worst wiring job they have ever seen. read more

A very discerning and knowledgeable friend of mine recommended Discount Solar. We stopped in during the last week of January. A busy time in the Q. We were immediately helped and had a realistic discussion about our camping style and what would fit that style. We decided to upgrade the battery to lithium and add more solar to the roof. They did not try to over sell it. When we returned to have the work done several weeks later, they were ready and waiting. The work was done professionally, within the time previously specified and under budget. Peter did the installation and explained how everything worked after the installation was completed. Very satisfied with all of our interactions with Discount Solar. read more

YOU GOTTA WATCH THESE PEOPLE!!!!! They do exceptional work! Made my appointment a month before I could get over to their shop. I tey to do some research on things I spend money on but the truth is some things are better off left to the experts. I had 4 100w panels installed on my roof. I brought a bunch of other components which I figured would work and save me money. They put in all the proper size cables,sub panels, and fuses. Pro looking install and it only took one day. These guys are awesome! I spent 35 years in industrial construction so I know proper install and planning when I see it. Highly recommend D.S, In Quartzsite Az!! read more

These guys know their stuff, they are unhurried and calm, they answer questions completely, they are well staffed and they're honest about how long it will take and how much. Mike, Clay & Craig were awesome! Clay diagnosed and fixed my Heart Interface inverter/charger quickly. Clay showed me what was wrong and put in a new relay and wiring to replace the burnt up stuff. He also took the time to tell me what might have caused it and how to avoid doing it again. Also spent the time to explain inverting vs generator so I could understand it. Great, open shop, tech's appreciate questions and take their time to answer well. The signs in their shop will keep you smiling! My favorite: Buy the one you want! It only hurts once! I highly recommend these guys! Their all 5-star ratings should say it all! They are a class act, and treat all of their customers right!! They also have EXCELLENT prices on AGM batteries, which I'll go back to them for, not just because of the price, either!! I will admit that, because of my tiny budget, I bought and installed a 200 watt solar kit myself - I lucked out and all went well!! read more

We checked out all the places that do solar in town, and Discount Solar are the absolute Pros! After getting educated by the knowledgeable solar experts here, we decided to upgrade our solar system to the most modern and efficient system available. But it wasn't just their knowledge that sold us, it was their well organized and extremely professional staff and faculty. We couldn't be happier with our new RV off-the-grid solar system for boondocking. If you're coming from far away, it's well worth waiting 'til you get to Quartzsite to have your system installed. Their prices are equal to or better than other places in town, but it's the service that really sets them apart. Honesty and no pressure really made this a great experience. Big thanks to Craig and staff! read more

I stopped at Discount Solar to get an estimate to install solar on my motorhome. They were pretty busy the day I was there but it didn't take long for them to get to me. I explained to Rick what I had and basically what I wanted and he gave me an estimate of the cost. He worked within my budget and didn't try to up sell. I had two new batteries installed that day and came back a week later for the solar install. Pete and Dave were true professionals and for the job done quickly and Clay explained the system to me. I plan to be back next year to add more. Discount Solar is the only place I will go for my future solar needs! They are the best! read more

This establishment was highly recommended by other RV campers around the area; we then Yelped them and decided to try them out. So glad we did! they patiently listened to our concerns (our battery bank was not charging as it should) they scheduled us for the following day and then started tracking the possible issues. They identified and corrected the solenoid issue! They also took the time to best guide us through the process of selecting a portable Solar Panel for us to use in conjunction with our current battery bank, adding and placing an easy to use plug, plus giving us the flexibility of movement in the panels. They have such a great customer service that at the end of the working day, they gave us a pointer of where to camp that night, plus take advantage of access to dumping our tanks and getting potable water. This business and team of people have our full support and recommendation, thanks!! read more

Very friendly and knowledge on there solar. Didn't try to up sale me. Good place to get all your RV solar needs. Very pet friendly.

We visited the Discount Solar store, looking for recommendations on how to increase our boondocking stays in our 2019 LTV Unity. When talking to the salesman Stew, we thought we needed a new inverter and solar controller, as well as batteries. Clay came out to evaluate what we had and said our 1000 Watt inverter and controller would work fine with new Lithium batteries, so we moved forward with the purchase of two 100Ah LifeBlue batteries. Matt told us that the next available window for installation was the following day. We got there about half hour early and Matt said they were running a little behind. Dan and Clay both worked on the installation, which required some custom work and finessing. They went as far as to paint the plywood insert required to clear existing bolts... it all looks great. As it turns out the delay Matt mentioned was for the custom installation for a RV just like ours... so what they learned on that RV they applied to ours and both jobs turned out wonderful. read more

If I could , I would give Craig and the crew 6 stars ! Some good friends of ours recommended these guys and were they ever right. Everything we wanted was done in a timely and efficient manner. We were told to come in one day , and the install would happen the next day. I asked them how they could promise that it could be done in a day ( we had 8 panels , replaced the existing batteries , new control panel and 2 charge controllers) We were told that they would just keep throwing people at the job to get it done , and they did just that , and we were out late that afternoon. They have a comfortable customer lounge. It was cold that day and Craig made sure there was a heater in there to keep my wife warm. Kendall did a bang up job on the wiring , Clayton was meticulous in the interior wiring , Mike had the scheduling down to a science , and we wanted all LED's in the coach and Stan knew just what would work perfectly for us. I can't say enough about how happy we are with our new system , I certainly will not miss the clatter of our on board diesel generator ! read more
