For every $1 in utility bill savings from your solar system approximately $20 to your home value. Instead of paying the electric company, pay yourself. Depending on your location and solar system design, you could have a 100% paid for solar power system in 7 to 10 years. Arkansas ranks 15th in the nation for solar index, but ranks 47th in implementation of solar energy.

Services
As a company, Perihelion Solar has over 50 years of engineering experience, with the goal of bringing your home and business the benefits of superior service, practical designs, and the highest quality components of solar power. Perihelion Solar is the Arkansas River Valley's first photovoltaic systems integrator with three years of insight into our state's solar industry.
These cells can be combined into larger arrangements called modules, and these modules can be combined to form photovoltaic systems. When photons hit a solar cell, they knock electrons loose from their atoms. If the positive and negative sides of a cell are attached to conductors, they generate electricity.
Switching to solar energy is a great alternative for anyone who values independence and efficiency. A Perihelion associate will be in contact to ensure a viable location for the solar project to be built. Factors considered include structural integrity and orientation of your rooftop design, as well as slope and soil type with ground arrays.
Perihelion Solar is committed to growing the solar power industry in Arkansas, and this means we must protect Arkansas consumers, ensuring they are informed and have a great experience moving to solar power.

I received three quotes and was about to accept one when I unexpectedly received a quote from Jill at Perihelion. It was 20k less than the most expensive (from Shine) and almost twice the KW (13.1, Shine quoted 7.1). The components were also high end. I read their reviews and it seemed like I could not go wrong with Perihelion - and I was correct. Their install was professionally done, and I am extremely happy with my purchase. They were an answer to prayer.

My experiences with Perihelion have been very good. They have installed two systems for me on my residence and on my daughter's. I am considering a third for a cabin. They will be my first call. I highly recommend solar energy to everyone and Perihelion has provided effective, friendly and economical service.

They came out and installed a complete off-grid system for my family. Going from a home connected to the grid we were nervous at first, but soon gained confidence in the system they worked so hard to install. The work was very clean, everything aesthetically pleasing, and a fun crew to have around the build site. Aside from not having an electric bill, it is peace of mind knowing you create your own power. Great job guys!

I think I asked “what’s a Perihelion” when I first saw the team arrive. They graciously answered my question and over time hundreds of other detailed questions that I peppered upon the crew. They patiently answered every one. The crew was hardworking, polite and interested in doing the best possible job. I highly recommend the Perihelion team. I am very pleased with my solar installation.

I STRONGLY recommend Perihelion Solar for your solar system.
My Background: I'm a mechanical engineer with a business degree and 40 years of industry experience with product design, testing, analysis, support, and project management.
I did a great deal of research on solar, panel makes/models, design options, providers, etc. before choosing Perihelion. Their proposal was similar in price to another that I had received, BUT their design was superior in several ways. Although Perihelion is a small Arkansas-based provider, they more than make up for that by being passionate about "doing solar right

The folks at Perihelion are amazing. They installed our rooftop solar array and battery backup in late 2020. This was during the winter Covid peak, and they were always very courteous and careful. Their prices were unbeatable, they used cutting-edge equipment (panels, microinverters, batteries), and their craftsmanship was excellent. They made sure the setup was all done perfectly and that we fully understood how every part of the system worked. They helped with every step along the way, including design, net metering, financing, and final grid connection. Our system works flawlessly and we don’t

Perihelion Solar installed a roof array on my home in 2018. It modernized by 1970s ranch style home in exactly the way I had hoped. The service was the best I have received from any home improvement provider since owning my own home. They made me feel like I was a participating partner in the project and I have been extremely satisfied with their product. These guys will leave you satisfied too.

Perihelion Solar helped me go green with their solar array installation. It was a well organized installation. They helped me understand the process to start with. I evaluated 3 to 4 solar installers but perihelions pricing was much better than competitors. You talk to their chief electricians directly and not a sales person. They help in clarifying your questions and customizing your installation to get a better pricing. Andy and his team were with us until the City council evaluation of the installation was complete. Due to weather and other issues, installation prolonged for a week but the entire

Perihelion installed a 11.715 kW DC solar power system for my home in North West Arkansas in Jan 2021. I picked Perihelion from 3 other competitors on the energy sage portal for the following reasons:
1. Cost - they offered the lowest cost per kW offering
2. Quality of equipment - The combination of REC 355W Alpha (Black) solar modules and Enphase IQ7+ microinverters were among the best rated equipment as per Energy Sage website
3. Customer Service - Andy was very helpful and explained the entire installation process - which included working with the local County offices to activate the system

Andy Barrett and Perihelion Solar built a residential large solar array for me in late 2018. They were fantastic, offering friendly, professional, and timely service from concept to post-installation analysis. You will know what to expect every step of the way, as Andy will be very communicative. The construction is of the highest quality, and I receive compliments on the array often. Andy and Perihelion care as much about WHY they build solar power as they do HOW - it is a mission to them, not just a business. I give Perihelion my strongest recommendation.
