I spoke with 6 other solar companies before talking to Tom at Desert Solar Energy, and the difference was night and day.

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.
Bonded
“all installations are licensed, bonded, and insured. Arizona installations…”
Insured
“are licensed, bonded, and insured. Arizona installations are licensed…”
Licensed
“United States, all installations are licensed, bonded, and insured. Arizona…”
Its website also mentions warranty, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.
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.
