Additionally, customer and expert reviews show that the company uses LG panels and products. All three companies are industry recognized as Tier 1 solar manufacturers.
Specific Types of Solar Offered
The company offers solar electric residential and commercial, battery storage and solar pool heating systems.

However, the company states that they install turnkey systems with the customer’s specific needs in mind.
Battery Storage: Mohave Solar offers battery installations within the customer’s solar system and uses integrated smart electronic systems resulting in consistent energy. While no information about the battery storage systems is available, experts refer to them as “advanced,” and the company declares that their battery system designs are adaptable to any customer requirements.

Installation Costs and Process
Cost
Mohave Solar has a few ways to help reduce costs and deal with finances:
| A free estimate on solar panel installation to power either your business or home. |
| Offer a variety of financing options, including low-rate, no-money-down loans. |
| According to a customer review, the customer contacts your utility company to see if they provide a rebate. |
| Helps customers take advantage of the 26% or 30% Federal Incentive Tax Credit of the total system cost. |
The cost of the solar systems depends on the energy usage and size of the system required; however, experts averaged their pricing to be $22,712, with systems ranging between $5,000 and $50,000. It is unclear how this price range fits against the average solar panel installation pricing in Arizona; however, customer reviews find their pricing to be fair. As of October 2022, the average solar panel cost in Arizona is $2.33/W, and we recommend using this to determine the competitiveness of their pricing.

- The company is a member of the Arizona Solar Energy Industries Association (AriSEIA).

Maintenance
Mohave Solar says that they offer maintenance on all products, claiming that they are always on-call for any maintenance needs required.
The company’s contact page displays their phone number, address, live chat, and a contact form available. When SolarEmpower emailed the company, though, no response was received, which may indicate some minor communication issues. Upon looking at customer reviews, a few shared the same sentiment, indicating that communication can falter, specifically with the sales team and around the installation time.
In relation to their customer reviews, after an extensive search, 86.25% of their customer reviews were 5-star ratings and considered them friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and clean, with many of the reviews addressing the employees by name. All reviews are responded to by the company, some by the director of Mohave Solar, Danny Stifle, indicating that issues and complaints put forward by unfavorable reviews have been resolved.
These highlight Mohave Solar’s high levels of maintenance.
The SolarEmpower View
Mohave Solar is one of the few companies that offer systems tailored to the exact needs of their customers and of extremely high quality. It is important to note that there are a few communication concerns and unknown information; however, with their highly favorable customer reviews, years of experience, verified licenses, and fair pricing, we recommend the company and deem them as a worthy long-term investment.
