Home solar panels shield you from rising energy rates so you can lock-in lower costs for decades.
With solar panels plus battery storage, your home becomes your own personal power plant, ensuring that you'll always have power available even if the grid goes down.
As energy demands rise, solar offers a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels that benefits both you and the planet.
With more than 300 sunny days a year, every Arizona homeowner has the opportunity to tap into a clean, abundant energy source to save on utility bills. Adding solar batteries takes it one step further by providing uninterrupted power at night, on cloudy days, and even during a power outage. Homes with solar panels and batteries enjoy higher property values, and with various state and federal tax incentives available, switching to solar is a smart financial investment as well as an eco-friendly one.
Switching to solar can greatly reduce or even eliminate your electric bill entirely. By generating your own power, you will lock in a lower monthly energy expense while protect against the certainty of rising utility costs.
Solar energy is a clean, renewable source that generates electricity without harmful emissions. By going solar, you’re reducing your carbon footprint and contributing to a more sustainable future.
Homes equipped with solar panels often have higher property values and sell faster than those without. With more people favoring clean energy, residential solar installations become an attractive feature for home buyers.
Arizona homeowners who install solar panels are eligible for a state tax credit of up to $1,000 and no sales tax for a solar energy purchase. On top of that, the federal government offers a solar investment tax credit (ITC) that can help offset 30% of the cost of solar panel installation.
Adding battery storage to your solar system means your home can remain powered even when the grid is down. With backup power during outages, evenings, and cloudy days, you can continue powering essential appliances and devices for more peace of mind.
Enjoy greater control over your energy consumption, monitor your system’s performance, and optimize your savings anywhere, anytime with an intuitive smartphone app.
Solar power might seem complicated, but the process is relatively simple when you break it down:
We’ve installed more than 12,000 solar energy systems since 2006 – including systems for APS, SRP, and organizations like Sub Zero, PepsiCo, and Coconino County – and we know the ins and outs of Arizona solar more than anyone.
The process begins when you request a free, no obligation quote. We will share all the details transparently - no hidden costs or murky ROI. If you decide to move forward, we’ll handle the design, permitting, installation, and make sure you get all the available incentives. And unlike most of our competition, we do it all in-house.
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions, so we never offer one. All Sun Valley Solar Systems are fully custom-made to meet your specific goals and unique energy consumption patterns. Here's a typical breakdown of the process:
1. Free consultation & site inspection
Your personalized solar experience starts with a free, no-pressure consultation. You’ll meet with one of our experienced Solar Integrators who will assess your energy use, analyze past utility bills, inspect your roof and other structures, and discuss eligibility for solar incentives and tax credits. We work hard to educate, rather than apply pressure, addressing all questions. We’ll then provide you with the best options to meet your savings goals, empowering you to make the right choice for you.
2. Customized preliminary design
The next step is designing a custom home solar solution that addresses your unique solar energy goals. We’ll provide you with a no-obligation estimate and initial ROI calculation. We'll also help you explore financing options and provide details about solar incentives available in your area. If you decide to move forward, we’ll conduct another on-site roof inspection to verify our design and make any final changes to the system configuration.
3. Permits & approvals
Next, we’ll take care of all necessary permits and approvals required for your solar installation. This can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, but our strong relationships with power utilities, city permitting offices, and HOAs, makes this step as smooth as possible for you.
4. Solar panel installation
Once all approvals are in place, our skilled installation team will arrive at your home to install your solar system. We’ll install your solar panels, inverters, and any additional equipment in accordance with our Platinum Installation methodology, which is focused on performance, longevity, and safety.
5. System activation & monitoring
After installation, an activation date is scheduled with your local power utility. This is when your system is inspected and connection to the grid is granted. At that point we'll activate your solar energy system and conduct thorough testing to make sure everything is working as expected. You’ll gain access to our user-friendly monitoring app and can start tracking energy production and usage in real-time.
6. Ongoing support
Our commitment to you doesn’t end with installation. Our team will be by your side throughout the entire lifetime of your solar system, offering ongoing support to keep your system operating at peak efficiency. Whether you have questions or need routine inspections, our team is just a call away.
Solar panels pay for themselves by reducing your electricity bills, increasing your home’s value, and reducing your reliance on the local power utility. How much you can save on solar panels largely depends on your unique energy consumption habits and the size of your solar system.
To give you an idea, the average solar ROI in the U.S. is 10%, and most homeowners will break even on their investment within 10 years. Some will see payoff much sooner, and some a bit longer, but reputable solar consultants will be able to estimate the payoff period for you prior to purchase. So, with solar panels warrantied between 25 to 30 years, and having a productive lifespan well beyond that, this leaves you with several decades of totally free energy once the system has paid for itself. On top of that, Arizona homeowners can save on solar installations with federal and state solar incentives:
So how much can you, in particular, save with solar panels? We cover all this in our free, no-pressure consultations – contact us today to receive personalized guidance on potential cost savings with solar.
We don’t believe in selling solar panels without helping you understand the benefits. One of our customers put it best: “You’re a team of engineers pretending to sell solar”. Indeed, we were founded by Intel engineers, so we work hard to educate our customers rather than pressure them.

Switching to solar energy offers many advantages, such as saving a significant amount on your electricity bills, reducing your carbon footprint, boosting your home's value, and generally becoming more energy independent. Solar energy is a renewable and sustainable power source that helps protect the environment by reducing homeowner's reliance the grid, which is made up largely of non-renewable energy sources like fossil fuels. Furthermore, various incentives and rebates can make the upfront investment in solar more affordable.
Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity. Each panel is made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells that absorb sunlight and generate direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts this DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which most home appliances use. This clean, renewable energy can power your home, and any excess energy can be stored in batteries or sent back to the grid - usually for small credit on your electric bil.
Modern solar panels have efficiency ratings of 15% to 22%. This means they can convert 15% to 22% of sunlight into usable energy.
The payback period for solar panels varies based on several factors, including system cost, energy consumption, and available incentives. Typically, homeowners in Arizona can expect a payback period of 7-12 years. Factors like the efficiency of the installed system, local utility rates, finance vs. cash purchase, and any state or federal incentives can significantly impact this timeframe. A reputable solar sales consultant will be able to show you exactly how quickly a system will be paid back based on the variables that are specific to your home and location. Don't be afraid to ask. The math is easy to show.
Solar panels are built to be sturdy and usually come with a 25-year warranty. However, many panels generate electricity for much longer, often 30 years or more. While their efficiency may decrease slightly over time, a solar panels functional lifespan will usually continue well beyond the warranty period.
The cost of solar varies significantly from customer to customer due to the number of solar panels needed, which is directly related to the amount of power a family consumes. Every family has its own unique power consumption habits, which can result in dramatically different power bills. Factors such as preferred room temperatures and the number of family members at home during different times of the day can all affect power usage. By going solar, you can reduce your reliance on the utility company and subsequently lower your electricity bill. When providing a quote, we take into account various factors including your family's unique electrical usage, roof configuration, shading, and local utility pricing. Based on this evaluation, we design a customized system to generate enough electricity to either offset your usage entirely or partially offset your most expensive electricity during peak times.
We offer various payment options for your solar energy system, including $0 down low monthly lease payments and several solar financing programs with extended terms and $0 down payment options.
Our consultations are free, and our aim is to provide education without applying pressure. You can contact one of our solar integrators for pricing and information tailored to your specific needs and home at 480-689-5000.
