"Switching to solar with PES in Tucson saved us over $1,000 in our first year alone. Our 7.5kW system now covers most of our electricity usage, and the Tesla Powerwall kept our AC and essentials running during a 6-hour monsoon power outage last July. The PowerLink installer they recommended was professional and handled all the permits and TEP coordination seamlessly. Best investment we've made for our Oro Valley home." Emily T. Tucson Homeowner, Oro Valley "As a solar contractor serving the Greater Tucson area, PES's fast delivery has been a game-changer for my business. When I need panels or inverters for installations across Pima County, materials arrive within 48 hours without me maintaining massive inventory. Their PowerLink bulk pricing and responsive support team have given me a real competitive advantage in Southern Arizona's growing solar market. Plus, they understand the high-heat performance requirements we deal with here." David M. Local Solar Contractor, Tucson "Our manufacturing facility in South Tucson was paying significant monthly TEP bills with crushing demand charges. PES designed an 85kW rooftop system that's cut our electricity costs by over 50%. The federal tax credit and accelerated depreciation made the financial case compelling. System paid for itself in 5.8 years and now we've essentially eliminated demand charges during production hours. Highly recommend for any Tucson-area business looking to control energy costs."
