OUR COVERAGESolar across Arizona.
The installer, the equipment, and the numbers deserve the same attention. We help you understand all three before you decide.
Produce more of the energy your home uses and reduce exposure to future utility rate increases. Your proposal will show the projected costs and savings for your actual usage.
We walk through equipment and installation warranties, including their terms and exclusions, so you know what is covered and who to contact.
We pair premium equipment with experienced installers and a clear process from design through permission to operate.
A properly sized system can reduce the electricity you buy from the utility. We build every proposal around the home’s actual usage and the utility’s current rate plan.

Eligible Arizona homeowners may qualify for a state solar-energy-device credit. Tax incentives depend on eligibility and current law, so consult a qualified tax professional.

Explore a plan for your home ↗We start with your utility bill to build a customized proposal that accurately meets your energy needs — then handle everything from permits to activation.
Savings ReportWe review your utility bills and energy use, then create a preliminary solar and battery design. Your proposal compares project payments, estimated remaining utility costs and expected savings.
Your part: Share a recent bill and tell us about future changes, such as an EV or new air conditioning.
Approval ProcessWe confirm that your home, equipment and chosen payment program qualify. If you choose financing or a lease, the provider reviews its application requirements. Any credit application requires your authorization.
Your part: Review your payment options and complete the applicable approval steps. Approval does not replace reviewing the final agreement.
Documents & Site SurveyYou review the project agreement and required documents. A site survey checks roof conditions, measurements, electrical equipment and any battery location. Findings may require changes to the design or scope.
Your part: Provide access for the survey and review any proposed changes before proceeding.
CAD / PermitThe installer prepares technical drawings and submits the required permit and utility paperwork. Local authorities and the utility review the plans; revisions may be needed.
Your part: We keep you updated. Timing depends on your jurisdiction, utility and project scope.
InstallationAfter the required approvals and scheduling, the crew installs the panels, electrical equipment and any selected batteries. Inspections follow. Completing installation does not automatically mean the system is ready for normal operation.
Your part: Keep the work areas accessible and coordinate any required electrical shutdown with the installation team.
System ActivationAfter inspections and the required utility permission to operate, the installer completes activation and helps you review monitoring and battery settings. We explain what to expect on your utility bill.
Your part: Wait for the installer’s activation instructions, then check your monitoring app and ask us about any unexpected readings.
We compare available structures around your goals instead of forcing every homeowner into the same payment plan.

A typical solar array will last for 25 to 35 years. If your roof will need work within that window, it's best to address any roof replacement before installation so you won't need to remove and reinstall the system later.
Yes — your system still generates power on cloudy days, just at a reduced rate. Our installers optimize panel placement to capture as much sunlight as possible year-round.
In states like Arizona and Texas, solar panels typically qualify for a property tax exemption — so you can add value to your home without adding to your tax bill.
Available loan partners include Dividend Finance, ICCU Credit Union, Sungage Financial and Credit Human. Lease options include Palmetto LightReach and a Participate Energy prepaid lease with a 30% program incentive. Availability, approval and terms vary by homeowner and project.
The physical installation is often completed in a matter of days. The complete project takes longer because design, financing, site assessment, HOA review, permitting, utility approval, inspection and permission to operate all have separate timelines.
