Frequently Asked Questions

• How much do solar panels cost?

  Solar cost varies depending on the number of solar panels needed. Every home or business has unique power consumption habits and structures, which means different power bills and entirely different requirements from solar.

  When providing a quote, we consider your unique energy consumption, roof configuration, shading, and local utility pricing. We then design a customized system to generate enough electricity to either offset your entire usage or partially offset your most expensive electricity during peak times.

  For residential homeowners, we offer various payment options for solar systems, including $0 down low monthly lease payments and several solar financing programs with extended terms and $0 down payment options.

  All of our consultations are free with no-obligation, and our aim is to provide education without applying pressure. Contact us now for pricing and information tailored to your specific needs at 480-689-5000.

• How long does it take to pay back solar panels?

  The payback period for solar panel systems varies depending on several factors, including system cost, energy consumption, and available incentives. Most homeowners can expect to pay back the cost of their solar panel installation in Phoenix within 7 to 12 years. Factors like solar panel efficiency, local utility rates, finance vs. cash purchase, and solar tax credits or incentives can all impact this timeframe.

  Reputable solar installers will be able to show you exactly how quickly you can expect to pay back your system based on the variables specific to your home and location. Contact us at Sun Valley Solar Solutions for a free, no-obligation payback estimate for your solar panels in Phoenix.

• Are solar panels worth it in Phoenix?

  Yes! With Arizona's abundant sunshine and local incentives, solar panels can significantly reduce your energy costs in Phoenix. Plus, federal tax credits can offset up to 30% of your solar and/or battery investment. With solar panels, Phoenix sunshine is transformed into clean, renewable energy that you can use to power your home. What better way to make use of the environment around you?

• How long do solar panels last?

  Solar panels are built to be durable and most come with a 25-year warranty. That said, many will continue to generate electricity for much longer, often 30 years or more. While their efficiency may slightly decrease over time, most solar panels will continue to function well beyond their warranty period.

• What incentives are available for solar panels in Phoenix?

  If you're installing solar panels in Phoenix, you could be eligible for the federal solar tax credit which offsets 30% off the total cost of your system. On top of that, Arizona offers a state tax credit which can offset an additional $1,000 from your solar installation. As well as these two incentives, you can benefit from zero sales tax on purchasing a solar system.

  If you're interested in adding a solar battery to your solar system, you can also apply a 30% energy storage tax credit to stand-alone solar battery systems with at least 3kWh capacity. For any questions regarding which financial incentives you're eligible for, don't hesitate to contact the Sun Valley Solar Solutions team for some guidance. As one of the leading solar companies in Arizona, we'll be more than happy to assist you with a free, no-obligation quote.

• What does the solar installation process look like?

  The first step in the solar installation process is a free, no-obligation consultation. This involves meeting with one of our experienced solar integrators who'll evaluate your home and energy needs. They'll ask you questions about your energy usage, analyze your past electricity bills, evaluate your roof's suitability for solar panels, and answer any questions you have about solar energy.

  Next, we start the design process. Our team will draw up a preliminary design that addresses your solar energy goals and provide you with a no-obligation estimate and initial return on investment (ROI) calculation. If you decide to go ahead, we'll conduct an on-site inspection of your roof to verify our preliminary design and make any final changes to the system configuration.

  Our friendly team will also help you explore various financing options and inform you of any solar incentives available in your area that can help you offset as much as 30% of the purchase price. With financing secure, we'll schedule in your installation. This could take weeks to months, depending on the season and our workload.

  With the solar installed, the final step involves your utility company making the final connection to the grid. This could take a few days or weeks after your system has been installed, depending on the time of year and workload. While this process may seem daunting at first, our team will be by your side the entire time. We're committed to helping homeowners make the switch to solar energy and we aim to make the experience as seamless and rewarding as possible.
