We are very satisfied with Net Zero and their work they did for us. Working with Chad helped us to achieve our goals for our home. We will both recommend this company and hope that anyone seeking a reliable company with integrity will put Net Zero at the top of their list

We were referred to Net Zero Solar by a neighbor, and we are definitely glad we listened to them. We were very impressed with NZS's timeliness, excellent communication as to when/what was happening, and their process of answering questions before we needed to ask them. Contracts were clear, and once the actual work began, they lived up to all expectations, including fully cleaning up after themselves. If you're wanting to go solar, you want to have confidence by working with a company who's got things down. NZS is such a company.

These guys are professional from top to bottom. They masterfully handled all aspects of our job, which was far from a standard set of roof panels. They were able to think creatively and come up with a solution to our non-standard situation on an old dude ranch/artists’ cooperative. They understood our goals and designed a system to meet them. Plans, materials, knowledge, skills, paperwork, permits, installation, communication, customer service, staying until the last detail was right, and billing all scored high above what we expected. Every team member who came onto our place was friendly, helpful, thorough, and seemed to enjoy working for this fine company. Now that I have added batteries to the initial solar panels, I’m totally happy with my “minimum service fee “ monthly bills, and I’m so glad we chose NetZero Solar - real people doing excellent work and proud of it . - A satisfied customer in Pinal County.

I highly recommend Net Zero Solar. I worked with Chad while we were building a new house, and he advised us to live in it for a year so the system could be sized correctly—an approach I found refreshingly honest. Once we moved forward, the estimate was quick and the installation was completed within two months. Our electric bills were cut by more than half, and our payoff should be around seven years at current rates. We were so pleased with the experience that Net Zero Solar also installed a system for my in-laws!

Best Solar Company Ever

It doesn't get any better than this. Net Zero's entire staff is super professional know what they are talking about and will astound you with their customer service. They took care of the County permitting, co-ordination with my current electricity provider, specs, diagrams, etc. Don't bother looking at other companies. Net Zero is the best. Chad, Trace, and Louis know what they are doing and have trained their staff to perfection. I'm happy to recommend them to the fullest extent.

As a home owner with a vast amount of construction experience. I found Net Zero Solar to be one on of the best contractors I have ever worked with. They are Tucson's top solar contractor when it comes to keeping the customer informed. All of their staff members were helpful and highly organized. The solar project went very smooth from first contact to final installation. Highly recommended...

Net Zero solar panels, a review update after seven years.

We received 4 quotes, with Net Zero Solar giving us the best bid. There was one national company, Sungevity, in the mix of bids (since gone out of business) with by far the highest quote. The other quotes were reasonably within range, but Net Zero Solar had the most complete bid and information. Installed in 2013, we have had no problems with the LG panels or Enphase microinverters, or any other part of the system. We have already broken even and are enjoying a great photovoltaic system. The staff there is great -- I highly recommend them.

Great company, very good product!

My wife and I were very impressed with Chad Waits and his team.  His presentation on our patio (and we were all in masks) was very informative and thorough.  When the time came to install the solar panels, the Net Zero team did exactly what we expected.  They were very professional and answered any questions that I had.  It took about 1.5 days and we were off and running (although we did have to wait for TEP).  It's been over three months (two electric bills) since the panels were installed and we are very happy with the results.  Compared to last year's bills we already saved about $280 for two months. I specifically enjoy looking at the app and seeing how many kwh we produce vs what we consume.  Also, looking at energy independence, that measurement still has a long way to go. Our highest number was 47% for a day.   I guess this will hopefully increase in the future when storage batteries will become affordable.  So overall, we are very pleased.  Although we are usually happy when it rains, we are now also very happy when there are no clouds in the sky!

Professional and knowledgeable.

Professional and smart.

The system design and implementation were great. The last minute addition of screening to deter packrats (it was a ground installation) was nicely done and didn’t change the quote. All their guys were polite and I never saw anybody “lean on their shovel.“ My "outstanding member of the team" (other than Chad) was Louis. He was always patient with my endless questions (we engineers are like that) and clearly knew what he was doing on all electrical/electronic aspects of the system. I highly recommend Net Zero.

Excellent

Net Zero Solar was excellent from the initial consultation, which included lots of explanation and information, through the installation. The crew was professional, knowledgeable and there was a thorough clean up. The follow up has been just as good and the Enphase Enlighten system allows us to monitor our system and track our usage. We give this company and employee's 10 stars.

totally happy with these folks - they did it right!

From the first contact to the final power on moment, the Net Zero Solar crew were friendly, knowledgeable, competent, and hardworking. Our 70 year old adobe house had some difficult quirks, which they dealt with with aplomb, including me in the solutions every time. I appreciated that the Boss got his hands dirty too--these guys work as a team! They obviously have the respect of TEP and the City, judging from the remarks I got from the inspectors, and they went out of their way to help us with some rate issues with TEP to boot. I highly recommend them.

Excellent Service

We interviewed several companies but after talking with Chad Watts we went with Net Zero Solar and I'm so glad we did. They have excellent installation and service, the people are very professional and knowledgeable, easy to talk to and they monitor our system. They even corrected a problem from a previous installation by someone else on the previous solar installation and solar hot water system. The team is great and treat you like family. I highly recommend them. I won't deal with anyone else. Now we have solar on the house and garage as well as solar hot water.

Smooth Installation

Everyone I had contact with from this company was professional and competent. The installation went very smoothly and was completed on time...actually they offered to move the originally scheduled date up twice, which I accepted, so we got our system up several weeks early. I am very pleased with the system and love the online monitoring system that was provided by the panel manufacturer. I have no reservations about recommending Net Zero Solar.

Thanks so much for your kind words, Glen! We're glad to have you up and running on solar!

From start to finish, the estimate to all systems go, could not have been better. Starting with an incredible discussion regarding the process with sales manager, Brian Mueller, I knew I had chosen the best solar company. The crew which did the install were professional and hard-working. They answered all my questions and left me excited to turn my unit on!

40 Solar Panels

About March 2017, wen my electric bill was about $500 a month for three months in a row, and due to medical equipment and 5 additional people in my home, I could not reduce our consumption of energy, I looked to get estimates for solar panels. Two companies came to give me estimates. The first was Net Zero Solar. They were professional, on time, had a well done presentation, and left me information on the equipment they use. They also were well versed in the changes in AZ regarding how the utility company was going to handle solar power. An issue that directly affects any home that is feeding into the power grid. They also informed me that the utility company limits the number of solar panels on residential homes...I did not know that. The second company...there are so many things I could mention...let's just say that they were the opposite of Net Zero Solar and even now, they still have not given me an estimate. But it really didn't matter, there was no way they could compare with professional demeanor of Net Zero Solar. If you are going to have 40 solar panels installed on the roof of your home, you better trust the company doing the work. I was interested in solar panels for 10 years before I had them installed, I could kick myself in the keister for waiting that long. Net Zero Solar was exactly on time and on estimate. The administrative staff was perfect in getting me through the process of requesting the installation from Tucson Electric Power...as in they did all the work and I just signed the paperwork! The installers were courteous and considerate of the effects of installation on the people living in the home. For example: that my brother is on oxygen 24/7 and letting me know in advance when they would need to turn off the power and for how long. I am so happy with my solar panels! I had read so much about the point that the cost of installation equals the benefit. Well let me give you another thought. It just happened...not by my choice...that I bought a new car at the same time the panels were installed. The moment I drove that new car off the dealership lot it began to depreciate in value. But, the moment the solar panels were turned on, they instantly began to save me money. And I paid more for the car than I did for the solar panels!

Supplier Review

We have been a supplier to Net Zero Solar since 2008, and I am proud to post this review to help prospective solar customers in their evaluation. What stands out most for me in our long relationship is the commitment to quality and integrity demonstrated by Chad, Louis, and Trace, the business owners. They have always chosen high-quality equipment for their customers, dedicated themselves to education, and made thoughtful business decisions that account for the well-being of their customers, employees, and the solar industry. While other companies have prioritized growth in this volatile industry, Net Zero Solar has prioritized health, and operated a values-driven organization that satisfies customers long-term and retains great employees. I am proud to be part of Net Zero's virtual team and I would recommend Net Zero for any residential or small to mid-sized commercial project.
