Great Experience

We were very pleased with everything from the seminar to the install to the final walk through. We liked that Sunny Energy had their own materials and equipment, they didn't have to contact someone else to install the product. Everyone we worked with was professional, courteous and responded quickly. A very pleasant experience all around. They should give seminars on communication!

Sunny Energy Above and Beyond

Sunny Energy LLC is the absolute best solar company out there! From their sales team, Sean Turgeon, to the installation team, inspection team, design team, to the account management team, overseen by Michael McCaffrey, everyone is absolutely amazing and goes above and beyond to help ensure all questions are answered and that you're aware of every step taking place. I was totally against solar, and now am reaping the benefits of earning monthly APS credits. Please give this company a chance to provide a consult for you and I promise you won't regret it.

Very Happy

I have been up and running for almost a full month. The process is smooth, they take care of everything from financing partners and permitting all the way to completion. You can follow along online, so you know what to expect. David Vernon was my salesman, and he is knowledgeable of everything you would want to know. No pressure and the pricing is great for quality components and service. Everything was completed within 80 days! If you are not familiar with solar, be sure to ask lots of questions. They will educate you. After the permitting process, the install went quick... they arrived at 7 am and were done by 11:30. I am super happy with everything. I am able to monitor production from anywhere with an app. The great part is that is the system producing more than anticipated from the design by 10% which is about 52 % more energy than I am consuming !!! Sunny Energy is a one stop Solar company based in Arizona and has outstanding reviews. I had one minor hiccup with my install, my fault, and they corrected it quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend Sunny Energy, from installation, service and warranty, they do it all in house with just one number to call!

Excellent Company - highly recommend them!

Sunny Energy has been an excellent company to work with right from the beginning. After talking to David, who was so kind to spend so much time answering my questions, definitely helped me make the decision to go with them. A big thank you to the designers, installers and technicians to the final walk through with Michael and follow up with Melanie Customer Service Manager. If I could give them more than a 5-star rating, I would do that. My only negative comment would be on the scheduling. While 99% of the time the schedule coincided with mine, there was an incident where the technicians came earlier than the scheduled time and I wasn’t ready for them. I was able to share my comments with Melanie for follow up. However, this would not stop me from still giving them a 5-star rating. Sunny Energy is an outstanding company. I liked the fact they hire their own employees rather than outsourcing. The website they have allows you to follow the progress of your project. This was very important for me to have as I was out of state for two months when this project started. It allowed me to stay on top of the progress that was being made. If there were any updates or issues, emails and texts were sent by them and if for some reason I needed to speak to someone, they were always available by phone. By the time I was back in the state they had everything ready for the install. They are also a very giving company in that they contribute to charitable organizations such as St. Jude Children’s Hospital. I am very happy I went this company and looking forward to many years of saving dollars on my electric bill. A big thank you to everyone who works with Sunny Energy!!!

This Company is Great

These guys were great. Started the whole process in early July 2022 and everything was up and running by mid September. It took a village of people to text and e-mail me through the process and even more people to coordinate on-sight visits to connect with SRP. The installation was quick and easy, too. The last thing they did was spray paint the silver piping to match my house to please the HOA. Everyone I dealt with, throughout the process, were professional, efficient and fantastic. Highly recommend Sunny Energy.

Awesome experience!

It has been an amazing experience. I had solar panels with a different company before and comparing both, this time around we've felt more confident on our purchase with Sunny Energy. The price was doable, the installation went smoothly, and the after care program was phenomenal!

Highly Recommend Sunny Energy as your Solar System Professional

Our electric company, SRP, referred us to three solar companies when we began our search for a solar system with battery backup. We knew we’d made the right decision when Sunny Energy responded to my call within five minutes and only one of the other referrals contacted us about five days later. We began collaborating with Rich Mason at once to define and build our solar package. The entire process consisted of respect, courtesy, and professionalism from our first sales meeting, throughout the installation and final walkthrough meeting with Michael McCaffery and the Genrac Engineer. No question or concern was too insignificant. Each time, we were contacted by the proper individual and resolution was . We followed the process throughout on the customer portal. We would highly recommend you include Sunny Energy in your search for the best solar system for you. It was well worth every penny of our investment.

I had such a great experience with Sunny Energy. From the initial meeting through the entire rest of the process, I knew exactly what was going on and when.

New system install

Sunny Energy was a pleasure to work with. They quoted a system and then explained everything they quoted. They did not try to over sell and when I asked about installing a larger system, they explained why it was not worth the money. They took care of all the permits and permissions that were needed and filled out all the paperwork. The install team showed up on time and was fast and efficient and cleaned up after themselves. Then Sunny Energy did a full follow up and once again explained how the whole system worked and operated. Great Job, very pleased.

STAY AWAY

Mr. Rodgers (the rep that came to our home) from Modern City Solar along with Sunny Energy LLC (I have come to find out is a sub dealer) installed a system on my home in 2017. Mr. Rodgers from Modern city convinced us to go with their Sunrun option. Our system since then has not covered our energy cost as promised. The system was underbuilt by a lot. We had a solar technician friend look at the system and he let us know that it was severely underbuilt. WE ARE STUCK WITH A LEASE WITH A 2.9 rate increase and come to find out we were overcharged for it as well. We are paying $92.31 a month on top of us $179.97. Giving us an effective monthly payment of $272.28 a month. WITH THAT 2.9 ESCALATOR!! After running the numbers, I would've had an average of around $176 without solar!! Had multiple solar reps verify where we would've been. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GROUP AND THEIR PARTNERS. Will be reporting all 3 to the BBB

After meeting with 4 solar providers I had researched, I selected Sunny Energy. We financed through them and the whole process was flawless from approval through installation. The Installation subcontractor did break one roof tile but assured me that was the only damage. Our 15kW system is amazing and after the first six months I have only the loan payment for electricity cost. In Arizona, that is a budget saver! My system has had NO issues and puts out a minimum of 20kWs per day over our usage. We ran into one issue at the one year walkthrough on our house, finding out that the subcontractor they used had broken 23 tiles. It is my understanding that this subcontractor was fired shortly after our installation. I contacted Sunny Energy about the problem. They understood, that as a homeowner, I would not have known about the damage if it weren’t for the builder 1 year walkthrough. They worked with me and were pleasant from the start. They repaired all the broken or damaged tiles, and did it within two weeks of contacting them. The main reason I am writing this review is because it is so hard to find a company that does it right and stands behind the product when a problem occurs. If you are looking for a solar system for your house, you would do well to go with Sunny Energy.

Very pleased with the entire experience

I did a lot of research before going with Sunny Energy. They kept me well informed throughout the entire process. I never felt like I was being upsold. They listened to me when I suggested changes to the design and layout. It was stressful to pick a solar company, but in the end I decided to go with a local company that has been around for a long time. I got several bids that were lower but I didn't trust the salesperson or the company as much. I'm glad I picked Sunny Energy. My panels are up and cranking out power. I'd recommend to a friend or family member.

Sunny Energy Review

In June of 2022 Sunny energy installed a 10.95kw DC solar system on my house consisting of 30 REC solar panels, 7.6kw Generac inverter, 4 optimizers, and a Generac PWCELL 18kwh Battery for a total cost of over $47 thousand. The system also provides emergency power for 6 critical circuits. All of the wiring conduit, switches, circuit breakers, meter boxes, etc. were included. A phone app and computer web app was provided for monitoring the performance of the system As of this writing, in the summer, the energy I am consuming from the power grid is near zero, and the battery still has 30% to 50% of charge remaining by morning. Winter will be more challenging, but I don’t have that data yet. Sunny Energy, is a real and honorable company. They did what they said they would do with no significant surprises. Their sales engineer was knowledgeable and answered many questions, better than 2 other companies I also considered. Their project management team is well organized and their web tool provided good project tracking. They handled all permits and interface with the electrical utility (APS). The installation team was capable, polite, and fast. Their customer service people were knowledgeable and responsive. I can honestly recommend them. There is a lot to learn and understand about any solar system of this type. It is not as simple as cutting a check and having free power for life. The long term reliability and maintenance costs are yet to be determined. The components of my system are of good quality from honorable suppliers with good warranties, but the future is unknown. The cost of replacing my roof, when it eventually wears out is unknown. The future cost of energy is probably higher, but unknown. For now, my electricity bill is minimal, but not zero. The credit I get from APS for the considerable amount of power I provide to the grid is also minimal, but not zero.

Solar Excellence

We’ve wanted Solar for awhile, and looked around at other companies, but the big draw was that Sunny does everything, other companies out source different parts of the instillation. From our first meeting, we knew when everything was going to happen. You get text or email, and you can also see how things are going via the Sunny Portal. Everyone turned up on time, there was no mess left behind, and I lost no power for any length of time (well I lost power for 10 seconds when a meter was switched out)

Exceeded my expectations!

I feel truly blessed to have gone with Sunny Energy for my solar power! I was on the cusp of making a bad investment with another company for my solar needs and, truly Justin and Phoenix (Sunny Energy sales reps), really gave me the peace of mind that I made the right decision with them! They provided transparent, honest, sincere, and accurate information about the products they use, the services they provide, and the accessibility to them. They are local, not a third party seller like most other solar companies, they stand behind their product and the customer service at all stages and departments of their company is impeccable! From the owner down to the ground workers, they have been professional, kind, informative, and consistent across the board! To be honest, I really feel like they are family, and not a one in a life time sales pitch. They really do care! They are thorough in their approach and really want to provide a win win solution to everyone involved! I absolutely love that about them! I highly suggest Sunny Energy for solar, they are a wonderful bunch of people! How they have helped me and my family, I wish the blessings come in abundance for them ten fold! Thank you Sunny Energy for the pleasant experience, it went smooth, timely, and made a dream come true in my first home! I am truly grateful for you guys! Thank you!

Solar Energy - excellence and professionalism

We performed extensive research on Solar companies in Arizona and narrowed it down to our top three with quality, warranty, cost and reputation as our highest priorities. Solar Energy was at the top of our list due to their reputation and quality of materials. Not all are the same. The panels made in Norway and electronics in South Korea for the most part. Not the cheapest bid we received, but not the most either. All were within a couple thousand of each other. The warranties were as good or better than the others. The whole process with Solar Energy was seamless, their communications were great, their software and monitoring programs and apps are top notch and easy to use. They handled all aspects of the installation including dealing with permits, the city, the electric company and the HOA. Commissioning the system was excellent and their follow up orientation, operating instructions and customer service was exemplary. A special thanks to David V, Michael M and Maria M for making this a truly easy and enjoyable process.
