Arizona Solar Giants PE Solar and Sun Valley Solar Solutions Unite, Revolutionizing the State's Clean Energy Landscape

[Chandler, Arizona, March 28, 2023] - PE Solar and Sun Valley Solar Solutions, two of the nation's leading solar energy contractors, have entered an agreement to merge. This game-changing move will unite two pioneering industry powerhouses, with a combined experience of over 30 years, accelerating their shared vision of a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.

“Climate change and a growing demand for energy independence are fueling a massive shift toward renewables on a global scale,” said Russ Patzer, CEO of Sun Valley Solar Solutions. "The next-generation energy ecosystem begins with solar and batteries, which are already delivering round-the-clock security to homes and businesses alike. As technology advances, it’s more important than ever that customers have access to informed, and honest technical resources. Pure Energy shares our commitment to this mission.”

Ryan Saffarini, CEO of PE Solar, added, "This merger represents a pivotal moment in Arizona's solar energy history. Our combined expertise and resources will enable us to offer unrivaled renewable energy solutions and support for our valued customers, while expanding our reach and impact on the environment."

The two companies have long enjoyed a fruitful partnership, having collaborated on more than 1,700 installations throughout Arizona. Together, the companies represent a combined footprint of more than 15,000 commercial and residential solar projects, or 171MW spread across Arizona, Nevada, Florida, and N. Carolina. 

The merger will immediately result in an expanded product portfolio that includes residential and commercial solar, energy storage, home insulation, as well as high-efficiency water heating, and pool pumps. Current customers will benefit from dramatically expanded service and technical support resources. These support resources also extend to customers of both companies, as well as any Arizona solar customers seeking highly-qualified technical support for their system. Purchasing power will also increase, allowing the company to hedge against inflationary pricing pressures while reducing lead times and enabling quicker access to the latest technologies. Existing PE Solar and Sun Valley Solar Solutions warranties will continue to be honored. 

The combined company will be headquartered in Chandler, with Sun Valley Solar Solutions Founder and CEO Russ Patzer continuing as post-merger CEO. PE Solar CEO Ryan Saffrini will become CTO in the new organization.

Initially, Sun Valley Solar Solutions and PE Solar will continue as separate brands in Arizona, with a longer-term goal to unite under the Sun Valley Solar Solutions brand. Operations in both Florida and North Carolina will continue under the PE Solar brand. Additional geographic expansion is planned later.

“We are coming together after a period of exponential growth at both companies," concluded Patzer. "It's very exciting to begin this next phase on such solid footing, with like-minded colleagues who share our passion for innovation and unwavering commitment to customer service. I’m looking forward to accelerating the growth of clean, renewable energy across the US." 

Key certifications, awards, and accolades held by the combined company include:

  • NABCEP Certified PV Technical Sales Professional
  • Five-time Angie's List Super Service Award Winner
  • Rosie on the House Certified Partner
