Ultra Energy is listed on Top Solar Services as a solar contractor serving Phoenix, Arizona. The 443 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 Ultra Energy'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 Ultra Energy 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 Ultra Energy 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 Ultra Energy 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 Ultra Energy for professional service, transparent communication, and quality workmanship. Reviewers frequently highlight the company's ability to deliver projects on schedule and within budget.

These guys did an excellent job from start to finish. My sales rep was always quick with a response to any questions I had, and the work was high quality, and faster than expected. They went the extra mile on painting my conduit and communicating with me. Highly recommended!
Outstanding service! The transition to solar energy could not have been more smooth! They team at Ultra did a great job installing the panels and I am more then happy with the outcome!
They were right on time. Very polite, guys introduced themselves and told me exactly what they we’re going to do. Very professional and this 9KW size system looks awesome!
Edwin and Zach came and went through the entire process with me and my son. My husband couldn't make it so they took the time to make a return trip to go through it again with him. They have continued to be there for us with every question we have had since the purchase of our system. Their customer service and professionalism are better than any that I've dealt with.
Ultra energy came through with everything they promised. Not gawdy looking but very professional. Happy with everything! Rebekah and Zach were awesome!
