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.
