I purchased $30,000 solar system from the solar store in 2015. I contacted them about an issue with one of my panels not working properly and they never sent anyone out to look at the issue. They ordered a micro inverter which took about four months to replace. The panel was still not working and finally they come out and found out the panel is bad. I have tried emailing them several times with one response from them. I am currently deployed and can’t go to their store to figure this out and now it’s going on about six months of the solar system not working properly. There service process has

I love that the Solar Store is locally owned and operated so you know they are fully invested in the community both personally and professionally. Plus, when making an investment like this, it’s always better to know you can get a hold of a live person should the need arise.

I've had solar heating for my pool for a number of years -- Solar Store people are always professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable, especially to people like me who forget how to use the system. I'm getting a new roof installed and they're being extremely helpful in scheduling the removal and re-installation of the solar stuff, working with my roofer, and keeping me apprised of what's going on. Also I use their maintenance agreement which ha guaranteed me outstanding support when I need it, like for winterizing the system and getting it restarted in the spring - they're great -- especially

I gave them a $600 deposit for a level 2 charger installation 2 months ago. I haven't received any updates as to what is going on and every time I call I get a round around excuse as to where in the process it is. First I was told it was ready for scheduling, then they said they hadn't submitted for permitting because there was an issue with the drawing and that the owner would contact me. That was three weeks ago and now no one is answering phone calls.
As far as I'm concerned this company conned me out of my money. 0 response, 0 callbacks, and a car that I can't use because I can't charge.

They deserve zero stars.
In the summer of 2020 (right after we put a brand new roof on our home), we had The Solar Store install solar coils for our swimming pool. We explained that our new roof was silicone and asked to make sure that their product wouldn't damage our new roof. We were assured they would not. January 2021, our roofer was inspecting our roof and found significant damage from their solar coil install. I contacted the company and they were originally responsive.

Just finished a large pool solar heating system from the Solar Store. Leon and Nathanial (the Techs) were on-time, communicated well and were generally concerned about doing the very best job possible. Job was completed yesterday so too early to see how well it heats my pool but at this point very satisfied with the work.

While we feel the cost of the maintenance agreement is a bit steep, we are willing to pay for the service since we live in Phoenix and the technicians have to drive up from Tucson. On the day of service, the techs arrived earlier than expected which was good for them since it had been so crazy hot this summer. They were both wearing masks when they came to the door, which was greatly appreciated. They got the panels nice & clean, checked all the equipment, and made any necessary repairs. GO SOLAR!

I read reviews Of The Solar Store on my neighborhood Facebook page, all of which were negative. As a result, I was going to avoid The Solar Store. But it turns out, it is the only place that could do an urgent solar water heater replacement in Tucson.
So I gave them a call. The customer service, scheduling, repair and repairmen were great.
I wondered why there were all those negative Facebook reviews. Then the invoice came.
The entire great experience was ruined over dishonest accounting practices. The estimate and invoice was extremely shady and dishonest. Speaking with Sarah over the phone

From the time we said go the permit was obtained quickly.
The tech showed up the day before installing a new electrical box for the house. Made sure he would have everything required the following day.
Adam showed up promptly at 7:00. TEP was on site ready to get started.
What could have been a very long day was completed earlier than expected and without a hitch.
No comebacks required.
Highly recommended.

We were having trouble with our RV solar controller so we took it in to the solar store for testing or advise. We spent quite awhile with Katharinegoing over everything and she was so delightful to work with. Very professional and really knows her stuff. I will definitely be going back for any further solar needs. Thanks again Katharine!

I just returned from installing a new controller at my place out of state. 20 years ago I purchased a system from these wonderful people for this remote high altitude location that would have enough power to run the place and then some. the solar store designed the whole thing and walked us through the installation. everything installed easily as they said it would. and worked exactly as they said it would. we updated the controller and put in a new battery (the 2nd in 20 years). the kind and gracious owner Katheryn suggested and pre adjusted the new one before we drove the long rugged drive.

So the salesman Kevin promises everything and delivers on nothing. The owner is his wife so she could care less. We signed up, got the system and had it for 3 months before it was actually on line and producing power we could use. Kevin kept throwing the blame at the power company when in fact his company failed to submit the plans properly, not once, but twice. Now for the topper: we were told we would not need to make any payments on the loan until the system was "Live" and we were receiving power from our new solar panels. On the day Kevin's crew completed their portion of

Where to begin. We had a challenge in lighting an area without installing high voltage from the panel to the light location. Looking at the cost of over 400 feet of underground high voltage versus a battery powered system with solar panels. So happy with the sales process, follow up and installation.

We have loved our Solar Tubes for the last 10 years! They make a huge difference in the mood of our 108 year old house. Now, we love something else about The Solar Store: incredible service! We recently had our house reroofed, and the roofers knocked one of the tubes loose and it fell down into our kitchen. We discovered the damage at night and I called The Solar Store, thinking I would leave a message and someone would call me back sooner or later. But the owner of the store answered right away!

I like the fact that it is a local company with local jobs. We started by looking for a company to possibly install solar on our house. I had three companies come out and give their pitch. The Solar store had the best product set-up for what we were looking for. During the install everything went smoothly, had a few hiccups with them just showing up. We asked for a day's notice since we have dogs and they tend to freak out with them up on the roof. Installation went smoothly, system up and running. After it was all installed I did a little more searching for information on the system

I have used this business for years, they installed 4 solar tubes for me and they are wonderful, such beautiful lighting, however this summer, the tubes started leaking rain, and I called the company and told them the problem had been diagnosed with no flashing or skirting, they got right on it and did all the work , gratis, very friendly workers, and they explained everything clearly to me. I would highly recommend this company for your solar needs.

We always come here to buy our Solar Water Heater heat transfer fluid because we haven't been able to find another distributor in Tucson. The fluid comes in a milk jug that has the fluids hazardous information on it. If you bring your own jug in the price is $32. However, if you buy their jug the price is $38. Why a $6 difference I have no idea. I find it rather rediculous when the company has to transfer the fluid into your jugs.
The customer service is friendly. The gentleman carried my three jugs to my car for me. Make sure you do not stop here if you are in a hurry. The wait can be

We purchased Eternal tankless hot water heaters from the Solar Store in May of 2012. We were very impressed by the helpfulness of the company, which included creating a spreadsheet showing us installation costs (including a refund from Tucson) and the future cost savings. The installation went well and everything was good!
Within a few months, the heaters started to malfunction. The manufacturer of the hot water heaters told us that the warranty was voided because of the mineral content in Tucson's water (Tucson has very "hard" water) and that this system never should have been

For those who don't like to read long reviews, I'll be brief. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! We ordered a solar heater for our pool in early February. The salesman said parts will be in within 2 weeks, it would take one day to install and our pool would be at a comfortable temperature by mid March.
After waiting 4 weeks we called to get an update and we're told they were having trouble with one of their suppliers and didn't know when they would have the parts. Next week they called and said they would come out and install everything but the panels to reduce the
