    Installed a 3.8 kilowatt inverter with 4.8 kilowatt panels high cost wrong design wasted energy. My bill with new insulation, insulated windows and new 21 sere A/C unit. Followup meeting to talk to him about it charged me $170. Said raise thermostat in house? Wouldn’t correct design or repair wouldn’t help me fix it. Going with professional service this time.

    I highly recommend Joe with Advanced Electric and Solar. My solar system quit working and I contacted several highly rated solar companies in Tucson. They all ghosted me after saying they would get back to me. Joe got back to me the same day and tried to save me money by troubleshooting over the phone. I then paid for him to come inspect and diagnose the problem. My inverter was completely fried. Joe contacted the manufacturer to find that it was under warranty and replaced it with a new inverter, newer model. He also contacted the manufacturer to complete the set-up and “adopted” my system.

    We had our solar system installed in the Spring of 2023 by Advanced Electric and Solar and I would (and have already) recommend them, with much enthusiasm, to friends and family—and even to people who I meet on the street--anybody who will listen to me preach about solar. They are an exceptionally good company and I was very pleased with every aspect of the service and product that they provided. The customer service shown by Joe set the standard for what one would hope for in an organization as he was knowledgeable, he responded quickly to inquiries, Joe was patient and took the time to expla

    Three years ago we had a new solar system installed at our house by Advanced. Joe gave us a very reasonable bid for a nearly 12 kW system and he was excellent to work with. They are a highly professional company with competent and courteous installers. Our project was a difficult one with an 80-year old clay tile roof but Advanced rose to the challenge and executed the installation perfectly. Advanced also uses the highest-quality materials and products especially suited for our hot and high-UV environment, so make sure when you get bids that other installers offer the best quality and toughes

What the company says about itself

Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.

  • Warranty

    “latest technology backed by the best warranty and most reliable service in the…”
  • Established

    “top solar provider in the Tucson area since 2013. We have installed hundreds of…”
  • Licensed

    “or pressure. Knowledgeable We are licensed, trained, certified, and experienced…”

Its website also mentions free estimate, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on ConsumerAffairs. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.

As Google published them when we last read the listing, not a live check. Ring before you drive anywhere.

The ones without a link have no page here, either because Google does not categorise them as solar businesses or because we could not match the name to a listing with confidence.

What we don't know

  • The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
  • We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
  • We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
