Rooftop Solar is listed on Top Solar Services as a solar contractor serving Phoenix, Arizona. The 25 verified reviews on this page reflects real client experiences. Use the information on this page — the verified review count, sub-ratings on quality, schedule, cost, and willingness-to-refer, the company's services and pricing snapshot, and the contact details — alongside your own due diligence on licensing and insurance before requesting a quote.
Solar contractors in this category should carry a current state contractor license, $1M+ general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and verified reviews from recent projects in your area.
In Arizona, solar contractors are typically licensed at the state level for electrical or general construction work, and the most-cited credentials homeowners check on this page are NABCEP certification, manufacturer training (Tesla, Enphase, SolarEdge), and verified workers' compensation coverage. Confirm Rooftop Solar's state contractor license number with your Arizona licensing board, verify any NABCEP credentials at nabcep.org, and request proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance certificates that name your project address before signing a contract. For larger projects, ask for two or three references from recently completed installs of similar size and call them about quality, schedule, and warranty service experience.
Typical project timeline. Most residential installs run 8–14 weeks end to end: about a week for the site survey and design, 2–6 weeks waiting on permits from the local Authority Having Jurisdiction, one to three days of physical installation, then 2–5 weeks for inspection and utility permission to operate. The panels go up fast; the paperwork is what sets the schedule. Ask Rooftop Solar for the specific permitting turnaround in Phoenix, because local inspection backlogs are the single most common source of schedule slippage and vary widely between neighboring jurisdictions.
What the quote process looks like. A serious solar installation quote is delivered in writing after a site assessment — not as a verbal number on a first phone call. Expect a written proposal with an itemized bill of materials (panel and inverter make and model), a production estimate modeled in PVWatts, Aurora, or Helioscope showing shading and tilt assumptions, the full price before and after any incentives, and financing terms disclosed separately from the equipment price. Get at least three comparable written proposals so you are comparing equipment and scope rather than sales pressure, and be wary of any bid that expires within 24 hours or requires more than 10% down before work begins.
Credentials to confirm. Before signing, verify the state contractor license number with the Arizona licensing board, confirm any NABCEP certification directly at nabcep.org, and request certificates of general liability and workers' compensation insurance that name your project address. A contractor who hesitates to produce these documents has told you what you need to know.
How warranty service works. Three separate warranties apply: the panel manufacturer's product and performance warranty (typically 25 years), the inverter warranty (10–25 years depending on platform), and the contractor's own workmanship warranty covering labor and roof penetrations. Only the last one depends on Rooftop Solar remaining in business, which is why a company's track record in Phoenix matters as much as the warranty length on paper. Confirm in writing who to call for a service claim, what the response window is, and whether the workmanship warranty transfers if you sell the home.
Electricity rates and payback. Residential customers in Arizona pay roughly 14–17¢ per kWh, and that avoided-cost figure — not any incentive — is what actually drives solar payback. The higher your current bill and the longer you plan to stay in the home, the stronger the case. Installed residential pricing in Arizona generally runs $2.40–$2.90 per watt before incentives, with smaller systems landing at the upper end because fixed permitting and mobilization costs spread across fewer watts.
Net metering and utility policy. Arizona operates under an export-rate credit set annually by the Corporation Commission rather than full net metering, locked for 10 years at interconnection. This is the detail most homeowners overlook and the one that changes twenty-year savings the most, so ask Rooftop Solar to model your system under the tariff you will actually be placed on rather than a generic assumption.
Incentives available in 2026. The federal Section 25D residential tax credit expired on December 31, 2025, so homeowners buying a system outright no longer claim the 30% credit. Section 48E remains available for business-owned and third-party-owned systems, which is why lease and power-purchase-agreement offers have become more competitive in Arizona than they were a year ago. At the state and utility level, Arizona homeowners can look to a 25% state tax credit capped at $1,000, plus sales- and property-tax exemptions. Confirm current program status before signing — incentive budgets are capped and windows close without much notice.
Why this is a workable solar market. Between 14–17¢ retail electricity, established installer competition around Phoenix, and the policy structure above, Arizona supports well-designed residential solar — provided the system is sized to your actual usage rather than oversized to inflate a commission.
Clients consistently praise Rooftop Solar for professional service, transparent communication, and quality workmanship. Reviewers frequently highlight the company's ability to deliver projects on schedule and within budget.

Happy with my proposal, presentation, and financing! My project manager was responsive if I contacted her. I would have appreciated her reaching out first with updates, but wasn’t that big a deal. She always answered my questions Install crew was phenomenal! Just waiting for SRP to come out and get it turned on. When that will be is anyone’s guess….
The rooftop team is easy to work with and thorough. Our project was well managed and delivered on time. The solar panels and overall product is top notch. I now love to see how much solar energy we are producing each month. Our APS bill is effectively zero each month and we receive about a $150 check from APS at the end of the year. Thank you Rooftop team. Cheers, John
If your looking to go solar look no further than Rooftop Solar.it was one of the easiest projects we have undertaken from Michelle our salesperson, to Danielle the Project Manager they took care of everything. They guided us thru financing up to the finished project. We had zero issues. Danielle was awesome whenever she said something was going to be done it was done. The installers showed up on time and were done in the time given. Our system is up and running and is working as promised. Give Rooftop Solar a chance to earn your business you will not be dissappointed.
I started researching solar companies in early April 2022 and lined up four companies to talk to and get quotes from. After talking to three of them, I had already decided on the one I liked and began the initial stages to move forward with financing and getting the solar contract created. Then I talked with Dale from Rooftop Solar, the fourth company, and completely switched gears. The financing option they offered was much more appealing than the other solar financing options out there. They used quality equipment, comparable to other companies and comparable in price, but offered a much better warranty than the other companies. These factors alone were enough to make the switch to Rooftop, just from a numbers/warranty perspective, but the customer service I received from Dale exceeded all others by far (in fact, the experience stands out as one of the best, if the best, experiences I’ve ever had). Not only did he respond to all my follow-up questions/concerns after our initial discussion (I had many, we created quite the email chain) he also included links to videos and articles and even tax forms to help make sure I had all the information I was after and to provide confidence that the answers he provided were correct and accurate. In one of our phone conversations when reviewing the final agreement, he even got one of the owners on the line to help address a hypothetical scenario I brought up. The owner also reached out to me separately on a couple occasions. To summarize, the equipment and cost are comparable, the warranty and financing options are superior, and the customer service is extraordinary.
From day 1 it was such a pleasant experience, dealing with my Sales Rep Michelle Davis.
She explained everything about Solar to me and what her company had to offer as well as helping me with the financing, they had a good program for that as well.
I had done my homework prior to making my decision to go with Rooftop Solar and had spoken to 2 other companies before making my decision that this was the company I would give my business to. My project manager Danielle T was Awsome, she was in contact with me the entire time, great at communicating through emails and a couple of phone calls which she returned always the same day. Their customer service was the best I've had in a long time.
Overall a great experience.
