Yuma Solar

My wife and I retired on October 25th of last year and on the 26th we relocated to Yuma Az. Just after the first of the year, we found a home that would work well for us and we purchased it. Three days later we decided that since we were going to live here year round that solar would probably be a good way to go. I tried one company, I'll just call them SC. The phone receptionist at SC stated that we had to have lived in our home for one years and have a years worth of electric bills before we could get solar installed. I asked to speak with a salesman and she stated to me, "No you can't speak to a salesman until you've lived in the house for a year and have the electric bills to prove it." I simply told the receptionist from SC that I would take my business somewhere else. My next call was to Jennifer at Yuma Solar. I made an appointment and Jennifer came out the next day! Jennifer answered all my questions and even gave me a few answers to questions that I didn't even think to ask her. Jennifer advised me of the different plans available (purchase options v. lease options) and we decided that a purchase was the way to go, for us, so that we would get all the tax credits. Jennifer wrote up a contract which she dropped off the next day. She even gave us 10% off since we paid cash for the work. Ten days later we had our solar installed and were getting our electricity from the sun. A.P.S, on the other hand took nearly 90 days to install our reversing meter, so they got "free" electricity from us for that entire time. It has been nearly 8 months since our experience with Yuma Solar and we don't regret it for a second. We have had several of our neighbors come by and ask us about our solar. We invite them in and share our very positive experience with them and answer as many questions as we can. Finally we give them Jennifer's card and encourage them to call. Some have called SC for a second opinion and quickly turn back to Yuma Solar. In case you're wondering, our electric bill with A.P.S. is $19.68/month. This pays for the meter, taxes, fees, etc.... read more
