    Worked with Sean Obrien and he was very helpful during my process of obtaining solar quotes. Answered emails, calls and texts regularly and provided industry insight I was not aware of, including discussions about future system enhancements. He also gave me a reference to my best quoted roofer for underlayment replacement. Would recommend.

    We contracted with Solartopps to install 67 solar panels and 67 Enphase micro inverters (mini computers) on the roof of our house plus 12 backup batteries and Enphase control panels on the west side of our house. We shopped the project with five other solar companies. Sean at Solartopps gave us the best price. Because the solar industry has such a bad reputation we were skeptical when Sean made promises and representations, but if Sean promised it, it came true. All the technology was the newest out in 2021. Over the course of a year (plus a few months) Solartopps worked through the problems of the new technology with Enphase and APS (the power co). The system has been operating beautifully now for well over a year and we haven't paid APS a dime for power. Of couse, we altered the timing of our power usage with timers on the pool and programable thermostates for the house to take advantage of the power the panels generate rather than enriching APS by using power beyond our generation at high rate times or at night. The money APS credits us monthly for selling our excess power covers the draw we have when the batteries run out or on cloudy days. We received rebates from APS for the solar panels and batteries (you have to apply, they are not automatic and now they are less than they used to be) and a tax credit on our taxes. Everyone from Solartopps who came to our house to work was very respectful and hard working, especially Gilbert and John. We were very pleased with Solartopps price and professionalism and we are very happy with our Enphase Solar system and the Enphase App that lets us monitor our power generation and usage instantly from our phones.

    Broken tile not repaired or replaced

    GO SOLAR THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE - pictures below. Solar Topps completely miswired the system to the point where 50% of panels didn't produce power for 9 months. The roof inspection i paid for revealed that the Solar Topps installers broke 20+ roof tiles, they told me that the broken tiles were replaced. However, the inspection showed that they were poorly glued together. Other tiles were just left broken. Some of the solar panels were installed so loosely that they can blow over with strong wind. They have refused to compensate me for power not produced. See the pictures for yourself. All I want is the system I paid for and was promised, this is the worst costumer experience I have ever had in my life, USE SOMEONE ELSE FOR SOLAR, it's been close to a year and they still haven't done as promised!

The team is professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive - any questions were answered instantly. Quaility service is ongoing. It does not end with the inital installation. What stood out the most is how strongly they stand by their product. It gave me real confidence knowing they back their work and are committed to customer satisfaction. The installation process was smooth, and everything was handled with care and attention to detail. If you're looking for a reliable solar company that delivers both quality product and outstandfing service, I highly recommend Aneva Solar. ---Janet L - Goodyear AZ

Their warranty stood out immediately as being far superior to the others, which gave me a lot of confidence moving forward. What really set them apart was their full-service approach. They handled everything--from HOA approval and permitting to system design--making the entire process seamless and stress-free. Unlike other companies I spoke with that rely heavily on sales reps and subcontractors, Aneva completes all work in-house, which made a big difference to me. The installation team was outstanding--professional, polite, and very respectful of my home. They kept the work area clean throughout the process, and even went the extra mile in small ways (one of the installers even brought cookies for my dogs!). Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations. The installation quality, communication, and follow-up have all been excellent. I highly recommend Aneva Solar to anyone considering going solar.

Our experience from beginning to end was better than hoped for. Our dealing with Chris on the front end and our tech were all professional and dependable. We definitely would do business with this company again. They don't offer an annual inspection plan but if they did we would sign up. Solar is a big investment and having someone look at it annually who know what to look for would bring tremendous piece of mind.

    Green Muscle installed my solar and Powerwall on December 31st. They sold it as a single day…read moreinstall because my system supposedly wasn't complex. What actually happened was weeks of touch and go work by several different techs before the system did what I was told it would do when I signed the contract. The crew showed up on time that first day. Joseph, the lead, showed up an hour late. At the end of the shift he made a point of complaining about staying late, which was him making up the hour he'd missed, and they wouldn't stay the two hours it would have taken to actually finish. The job got left unfinished and my Powerwall got left sitting outside uncovered. They had to send a tech back out on a separate trip just to put the cover on it, and this was during a stretch when we were getting scattered showers. Before the install I told Andre, my project manager, that I didn't want panels anywhere roof vents would put shade on them. They installed two right next to a taller vent anyway, so depending on where the sun was, one or the other sat in shade for part of the day. If you're looking at a string inverter system, this matters much more than it sounds like it should. Panels on a string are wired in series, so the entire string produces at the level of its weakest panel. A single shaded panel doesn't just cost you that panel's output, it drags down every panel on the string for as long as the shade is there. That's the whole reason I brought it up before they started. They ended up having to come back out and relocate both. The backup is the part I'd want anyone considering this company to read. I never asked for anything less than whole home backup, not one time, and I signed on the assurance that my whole house would run on solar. What was actually written into the contract was partial, essentials only backup. When I raised it, nobody at the company could trace back a single piece of communication showing how that decision got made or who made it. Then after the install it came out that the solar couldn't see any load that wasn't on the backup panel, which meant most of my house was never going to run on solar the way it had been described to me. Their answer to that was an energy monitor. I spent weeks troubleshooting it before we established that it could only see half of my EV charger's draw, so it was never going to solve anything. Their next proposal was to move the charger onto the backup panel and bill me for the whole home backup that should have been scoped correctly in the first place. They had also missed my HVAC controller. So when the power went out, my air conditioning went out with it and roughly 90% of my house sat dark in the middle of the day at peak solar production. In Arizona. That is the single scenario this system exists to prevent. I also ended up running the entire interconnection process with my utility, ED3, mostly on my own. Coordinating with the power company is squarely a project manager's job, and honestly it was one of the specific reasons I wanted a company that assigns a dedicated PM to every install. Andre was AWOL for that whole process. I was the one tracking where things stood, following up, and keeping it moving. Beyond that, Andre kept telling me things were normal when they clearly were not, and nothing got resolved unless I pushed for it myself. At one point he forwarded me a reply asking for a photo I had already provided in that same email chain. When it escalated, Brett, one of the owners, asked me why I had agreed to a partial backup, which put his own company's scoping error back on me, and then told me he'd lose money covering the whole home backup because of how far out I live. Most of those trips he was counting were rework his own team created. I chose Green Muscle in part because every job gets a dedicated project manager. That turned out to be the weakest part of the entire experience. The system works now, months later, and only because I wouldn't let it go.

Dave used to work for the company that installed my system, but is now one of the owners of Sunny Energy RX. I reached out to him with some questions, and he answered right away. Every once in a while, I have questions about my system or things it does, and Dave is always available to answer my questions and give me advice. He is under no obligation to help me out, but always does. He is always friendly, professional, and gets back to me quickly. I wanted to sign up for the monitoring service they have (one less thing for me to worry about). Unfortunately, they do not support my system yet (they are working on it, though), but Dave said that he will check on it from time to time on his own, just to help me out! Wow! It's great to know that there is a company that will assist us, diagnose problems, and do repairs for those of us who had our installers go out of business. It's a service that is greatly needed for many people. I highly recommend Sunny Energy RX!

I was promised that electricity purchased from APS would be at a flat rate of .09 per kWh, and I would sell electricity back to APS at a flat rate of .12 per kWh. I knew it was probably BS at the time, and I repeatedly asked if that was accurate. They assured me it was. And...no. I'm on a standard time-of-use plan. I consider this purchase to have been a major financial blunder on my part. I bought the whole package, when I should have just bought solar directly with competitive quotes from multiple vendors. I should have also first addressed the root cause of my high electric bill - inefficient, old air conditioners. Now I've got to pay this huge loan off, and I am replacing the AC units on top of that. Getting the ducts sealed was great, but it's kinda dumb that they don't CLEAN the ducts before sealing them. The Nest thermostats will not be compatible with my new AC units. Two of the Philips HUE bulbs have failed, and should be under warranty but I don't have a receipt that lists the date I purchased them. Extra attic insulation is great, but that's an easy project I could have done myself.
