Tell us a little about your project and an in-house specialist will reach out within one business day. No pressure, no subcontractors.
Engineered for Your Home
We start with your actual energy use and roof layout, then design a system sized to match. Every install is handled by experienced in-house technicians, never subcontractors, so the quality is consistent from the first panel to the last.
Homes & Businesses
We design and install customized solar for both residential and commercial properties, engineered around your building and energy usage and installed by accountable in-house staff. The same team handles a rooftop home system or a commercial build-out, start to finish.
How It Works
No guesswork and no surprises. We walk you through every step, handle the paperwork, and keep your pricing transparent from quote to switch-on.
The Payoff
With 350-plus days of sunshine a year, Southern Arizona is ideal for solar. By generating your own power you cut your monthly bills, while the Arizona state solar credit and equipment tax exemptions shorten the payback period, and net billing through TEP credits you for the energy you send back.

FAQ
Cost depends on your home's size, energy use, and the equipment you choose, so there is no single price. We design every system around your actual usage and give you a clear, itemized quote up front, including every Arizona incentive you qualify for, so you can see your real out-of-pocket cost and payback before you commit.
For most Arizona homeowners, yes. With more than 350 days of sunshine a year, high utility rates, and incentives like Arizona's state solar credit and equipment sales-tax exemption, an owned system typically pays for itself and then keeps lowering your bills for decades.
Your panels generate power during the day to run your home first. Any extra energy is sent back to the grid, and through net billing your utility, such as TEP, credits you for it, which offsets the power you draw at night and lowers your monthly bill.
The on-roof installation itself usually takes one to three days for a typical home. The full timeline from signed agreement to switch-on is usually a few weeks once you factor in system design, city and utility permitting, and inspection, all of which we handle for you.
Panels produce the most power in direct sun, less on cloudy days, and none at night. That is why we can pair your system with battery storage, so you bank daytime solar and keep using your own power after sunset or during cloudy weather.
A standard grid-tied system shuts off in an outage for safety. If you add battery backup, your home can keep running on stored solar power through an outage, which is increasingly popular in Arizona for summer storm season.
Quality solar panels are built to keep producing for 25 years or more, even in Arizona's heat. We back our installations with a 25-year system warranty, and key components like inverters and batteries carry their own manufacturer warranties.
Arizona's state solar tax credit is worth 25% of system cost up to $1,000, and the state also exempts solar equipment from sales tax and from property tax assessment. Net billing credits you for excess energy. Note that the 30% federal residential credit ended for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025, so it no longer applies to a new residential install. We walk you through every incentive you qualify for and factor it into your quote.
We never subcontract. The same accountable Tucson crew designs your system, handles permitting, installs it, and supports it for the life of the project, and we are dual licensed in solar and roofing so your roof is protected throughout, all backed by our 25-year system warranty.
