End-to-End Service

Sun City Solar does not outsource its installations to third-party contractors, meaning the initial consultation, system design, and installation are all conducted in-house. 

This continuity in service ensures better consistency throughout the process, as well as minimizes potential errors common to companies that piecemeal the process (such as installing the wrong system or installing the system poorly).

Equipment Warranty

When it comes to powering a solar system, Sun City Solar has one concern: making sure your system performs. It does this not only by offering an extensive amount of experience, but also by giving you peace of mind with excellent warranties. 

Warranties are offered on separate components: solar panels, batteries, power inverters, and the mounting system. 
Solar panels come with a full warranty of 25 to 30 years. The warranty guarantees that the panels will operate at a minimum of 80 percent of their original peak power output in that amount of time. Plus, there is a 10-year, 90 percent power output warranty. 

Batteries have a 10-year warranty, power inverters come with a 10 to 15-year warranty, and the mounting systems a variety of warranty options. Mounting systems are typically rated to withstand winds up to 120 MPH and are certified for any kind of weather. 

Installation Timeline

Sun City Solar prioritizes communication with customers about the various timelines associated with solar installation. Its website establishes expectations for installation (2-4 days) and equipment delivery (5-10 days for modules and inverters).

While timelines can vary based on permitting needs, unpredictable weather, and other factors, it’s good to see a company prepared to work closely with home and business owners to set appropriate expectations and communicate throughout the process. 

Solar Monitoring and Repairs

Inverters are tricky and can be one of the more finicky parts of your system. They convert the electricity from the panels to usable electricity, so Sun City puts a lot of emphasis into doing this right.

That being said, Sun City Solar offers system monitoring to make sure everything is working correctly and will help you get your system repaired if needed. Often, issues that come up in monitoring can be diagnosed and repaired online without a site visit and without needing to shut the system down so you lose production. 

Sun City prides itself on having technicians who are some of the best in the industry. Whether you bought your system from them or another company, they will come out and give you a solar repair quote. Where equipment warranties are relevant to a needed repair, the company will assess the warranty and work with the manufacturer to facilitate paperwork for the warranty claim. 

As needed, Sun City Solar can perform the following solar repairs and upgrades: 

• Equipment upgrade
• System expansion
• Inverter and module replacement
• Battery system replacement
• Data monitoring repair
• System performance check-up 
• Error correction 

• Limited Financing Options
• Limited Workmanship Warranty
• Needs Customer Reviews 

Limited Financing Options

Unlike many leading solar companies, Sun City Solar Energy only provides one financing option to help consumers go solar, and that's financing the system through a loan. Customers interested in operating the system through a lease or PPA will need to look elsewhere.

Limited Workmanship Warranty

While Sun City Solar Energy features a robust, 30-year equipment warranty (one of the longest warranties in the industry), its workmanship warranty is only good for up to five years. This means any problems with the system caused by poor workmanship or installation must be addressed within the first five years of the system being installed. 

Top companies provide such warranties for up to 25 years.

Needs Customer Reviews
