This grid-tied solar panel system installation was completed for Carlos in El Mirage, Arizona in the APS Utility. Before going solar, Carlos was planning on buying a Tesla vehicle and he wanted to build his solar system a bit larger than normal to offset the future vehicle charging he would be doing. Carlos was a delight to work with and we are happy that we could provide him and his wife with some much needed energy savings!

Steve was great to work with as we went through getting our solar panels. He had a lot of information from the tax incentives the government gives to helping understand the monthly costs and such. He was also able to help us when we had to switch companies to get our panels installed. He also maintained contact with us to make sure everything was progressing smoothly and was available any time we had questions. 5 stars all around.
