Phenomenal Experience working with AZ Solar Wave

Working with the Arizona Solar Wave team has been a phenomenal experience for multiple reason! 1 - Initial Offer: I originally reached out in January 2025 to compare solar options. Justin Bradley was patient, insightful, and most importantly, genuine. I had mentioned that a door-to-door salesmen, who's company will remain unnamed, offered solar leasing with a 1.99% annual increase and that I had signed a letter to begin the process - Justin informed me that this was a scheme used to lock people into crazy expensive leases with low initial payments. I quickly got out from the other lease agreement upon this insight. Here is a quick comparison of the deals they offered: Unnamed Company Offer: 9.46 KW System with Full Services Battery Backup (unspecified KWh Capacity in Contract) $248.53 monthly payment, of which $68.25 goes to Full Services Batter Backup 1.99% Annual increase for 25 Years TOTAL PAYMENTS LEASE TERM - $95,403.96 AZ SOLAR WAVE Offer: 11.34 KW System with 24 KWh Battery Backup CASH Price - $51,123.00 2 - Installation: After I signed with AZ Solar Wave, I began working with Stephen Garrett and Justin Tidwell to plan through the logistics and permitting of the project. Along the entire process, the team was very transparent. There were multiple delays throughout the process due to supply chains, permitting approvals, inspections, and other issues - however, Justin and Stephen were very clear about how the issues were being overcome and they were always available over phone and text to answer any questions I had. Permits were issued on May 27th, 2025, and the installation took place by July 10th, 2025. From signing the contract on February 6th to installation on July 10th was a total just over 5 months. I definitely learned a lot about the process along the way and I felt reassured along the entire way. I always have lots of questions and nothing was left unanswered. There was never any doubts in my mind or did I ever second-guess myself about the process. 3 - Inspections: The system wasn't commissioned into service until August 15th due to various inspection delays. When inspectors found issues with the system set up, Justin was proactive about fixing the inspection issue the next day. I completely understand that everything has to be up to standard and these guys certainly know their stuff - the issues found were minor and the greatest delay came from the city of Phoenix in scheduling out the inspectors. On the final inspection, Justin had his technician wait for the inspector to do a walk along with them together and any issue was fixed on the spot. It is a pass on final inspection. 4 - Initial Savings: Once the system was active, the system generated roughly 55-60 KWh per day. The battery system has been able to provide power during the peak hours for the SRP E-27 plan. In prior years, we paid around $450 to $500 during the summer months with SRP. We have now received our first bill for the month of September for $108. These are notable savings right off the bat. Although it was slightly disappointing that we were not able to reap the full benefits of solar during peak summer due to delays, we are still very satisfied with the savings we are seeing so far and are looking forward to the next summer. Overall, working with AZ Solar Wave has been a 10/10! I highly recommended them to anyone considering solar. The team is professional, genuine, earns trust, and delivers results.

2stars only because the install was clean

I am paying more after solar install. Quoted a 35$ fee from SRP yearly, they charge that every month and can raise it as much as they choose, according to SRP. They installed equipment on my house and never told me what it's for, how it works. They turned power on while i was at work ignoring my request to wait until i could be there to answer my questions. Like What do i do if i have an electrical fire? How to clean and maintain the panels? How to track or know if the panels are even working? My system cost me 60k yep, 60,000 dollars and with payment my electric bills are still almost 400$ a month in the summertime. 2 years have gone by and no one from this company has reached out to see how it's all going. I have to pray this company will back their 25-yr warranty when the panels ware out and don't work anymore. Customer service should be something that happens even after THE COMPANY GETS PAID! Their website by the way only shows 5-star reviews, pretty shady if you ask me

Reply from Arizona Solar Wave: Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sorry to hear about the frustration you've gone through. The monthly $32.44 grid fee from SRP is a fixed charge that will be on your SRP bill when you go solar. Our sales team should have clearly communicated this to you during the initial appointment. Please feel free to reach out to: installs@arizonasolarwave.com or call: 602-687-6560 we would be happy to walk you through what to do during emergencies, how to safely clean your panels as well as how to access your monitoring platform. We would like the opportunity to review your system design, usage, and current billing in more detail to determine if adjustments can be made or if additional guidance may help reduce your costs moving forward. We apologize for your experience and would love to work together towards a resolution.

Arizona Solar Wave was very thorough when installing the panels on top of the house. They guided me through the process of getting all the necessary paperwork into the various HOA's and APS. The only problem now is understanding the Enphase Energy System and getting it set up properly. Once this gets set-up, my experience will be 5 stars.

An Incredibly Wise Choice

Figuring out which solar company to use isn't easy; I spent a lot of time researching to pick two or three to deal with. My first call was to Arizona Solar Wave, and they were so responsive, precise, and helpful that I was extremely comfortable proceeding with them. I had done a fair amount of background work figuring out about what I wanted/would need, and Brad worked through every step with me, coming up with about the same panel size and persuading me (contrary to my first instinct) not to do backup batteries. After signing with them, there was never a question I had that wasn't answered within a matter of hours, if not minutes. The installation itself was flawless--indeed, everything was smooth and precise from the moment I first contacted Arizona Solar Wave. Solar panels are a big expenditure, but this was, overall, at the very top of my experience with businesses/installers. I would choose them again in a nano-second.

Excellent service from start to finish

I highly recommend Arizona Solar Wave to anyone choosing to have a solar system installed. From our first contact with Brad, we knew we found our contractor. Brad’s knowledge and professionalism was evident as he explained how solar panels/inverters work, the process for determining system size, and especially that all work is completed by Arizona Solar Wave employees. Best of all, Brad is our direct contact with Arizona Solar Wave. There is no chance for miscommunication. Brad answered our questions quickly whether we called, text or emailed him. This home project was by far the best experience we’ve had with contractors. We are very happy with quality of work of our solar system.

Excellent experience and Result

Good experience from the first contact with Matt followed by an efficient (despite the heat) and careful installation. They provided helpful information and answered questions. The only delay to production was the wait for the county inspection and the new APS meter. With only 15 days of production in late August (temperatures all over 110) my bill was almost 35% lower than what it would have been without solar.

After good experience Arizona Solar Wave installation at our Glendale home last year, we asked them to put in a system at a home in Chino Valley. Again we had a good experience with personal attention resulting in a nicely functioning system.

Seamless experience

We just turned on our solar panel system which was professionally installed by the great team at Arizona Solar Wave. Brad was absolutely fantastic and responded almost instantaneously to every text message, email, and phone call. I cannot say enough good things about how smoothly the entire process unfolded, from submitting an estimate through contract signing, permitting, and installation. The installation crew were on time, neat, kind, and professional. I’ve lived in AZ for almost 40 years and this was, by far, the best contractor I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Very highly recommended.

Satisfied Customer: Twice!

Arizona Solar Wave is an excellent company with integrity, high-quality work, superior efficiency, honest employees, and transparency regarding the actual cost and timeline for installation. I had previously had solar panels installed on a property that I later sold and that was more than 5 years ago. The owner still has outstanding employees that are timely and work well together. They installed my entire 8.91kw system in one day. The process from planning, permits, power company approval, installation, final inspection, and power on was seamless in large part to the diligence I have come to expect and count on through two experiences with this company. They keep everything fluid from start to finish and are in the loop throughout every step. There was not a single delay in any part of the process, allowing me to start generating power as soon as possible. They have the finest customer service of any company I have ever done business with, and I would highly recommend anyone looking for a solid company to complete their solar project to look no further than Arizona Solar Wave. One last note on integrity: I practically begged for a battery install in the past and the owner was transparent with me, recommending against it because the cost to value just is not there yet. He told me I would never recoup my money spent on batteries versus the potential savings from using them to offset peak power, and the only purpose would be for backup only, which he recommended a generator instead for dealing with any loss of power. That is integrity! Thank you!

ALL IN THE LIFE OF SOLAR

CHOOSING TO GO SOLAR WAS NOT A BIG ISSUE FOR US. WE HAD PANELS ON OUR OTHER HOUSE AND KNEW WITH RATES GOING UP THAT IT WAS A DONE DEAL. BUT CHOOSING THE COMPANY WAS ANOTHER ISSUE. OUR STRICT CRITERIA HELPED NARROW OUR SELECTION TO FIVE COMPANIES. INORDINATE PRICING ELIMINATED TWO. ANOTHER WAS REMOVED ONLY BECAUSE IT FELL SHORT OF THE TOP TWO. NOW CAME THE REAL CHALLENGE. BOTH, WERE SELLING AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT WITH VERY SIMILAR COMPONENTS, WARRANTIES, ETC. WHAT SEALED THE DEAL FOR US IN CHOOSING ARIZONA SOLAR WAVE AND ENERGY WAS ONE KEY FACTOR…SALESMANSHIP! BRAD BRADLEY MADE THE DIFFERENCE. ONCE WE HAD NARROWED IT DOWN TO WHAT WE BELIEVED TO BE THE BEST OF THE FIVE WHICH HAD BEEN CAREFULLY SELECTED, WE KNEW OUR DECISION WAS GOING TO REQUIRE PERSONAL ATTENTION TO DETAIL. AND THIS IS WHERE BRAD EXCELLED. FROM THE BEGINNING, HE TREATED US WITH RESPECT AND KINDNESS. BUT THEN SO DID THE OTHER SALESMAN. SO YOU ASK WHY DID YOU CHOOSE ASW. IT WAS BECAUSE NOT ONLY WAS BRAD SELLING A PRODUCT, HE WAS TEACHING. HE WAS MAKING SURE, BY ASKING QUESTIONS, THAT WHEN ANSWERED CORRECTLY, CONVINCED HIM THAT WE UNDERSTOOD. THIS WAS HUGE TO US. ONCE OUR DECISION WAS MADE, WE HAVE CONTINUED TO BE OVERLY IMPRESSED WITH BRAD’S ATTENTIVENESS TO DETAIL AND FOLLOW-UP. HE HAS ALWAYS ANSWERED THE PHONE DIRECTLY OR RETURNED A CALL PROMPTLY. WE LOOK FORWARD WITH PEACE OF MIND THAT BRAD IS THERE TO HELP IF NEEDED.

Highly Recommend

The entire process from start to finish has been great - from Matt the sales person to Brad, general contractor, and the installers; everyone was helpful and professional. Brad was great at keeping me informed and answering my questions. Installation was right on schedule, and actually much sooner than I had expected. They worked through all the permitting issues, even worked to resolve a permit issue from a previous installation of my service panel (which was installed over a year prior to ordering the solar panels). I highly recommend Arizona Solar Wave to anyone who is considering solar panels.
