Solar Energy Company reviews in Tucson, Arizona

Contracted Clayco Electric / Clayco Solar in April 2025 for a significant solar installation at my Oro Valley home. Paid in full by August 2025. The system has never fully operated correctly.

Over 7 months later, a portion of the contracted system remains non-functional due to installation. Customer service has been nonexistent — no proactive follow-up after installation, repeated broken commitments, and emails left unanswered for days at a time. Every contact to get this resolved has been initiated by me.

When I escalated directly to the owner (Clay Mauldin), he provided explanations that were directly contradicted by the equipment manufacturer. His written response to my concerns: "We will wait for the ROC to chime in." A formal complaint has since been filed with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors.

I deeply regret selecting Clayco for this project.

Prompt, experienced, reliable and honest.

A pleasure to deal with. Not the usual fast talking hucksters. Very responsive.

Good fair price and excellent follow service. I would highly recommend.

The team was very responsive.
My system encountered some technical difficulties when it was installed, however, it took them less than 12 hours to fix it. They were very responsive.

Andrea was so communicative throughout the process of removing and reinstalling my solar and the customer experience exceeded my expectations.

Would recommend Clayco to anyone who wants a professional solar installer. The installation was perfect and a great value compared to other installers.

Clayco was very responsive throughout the marketing and installation process. They met all of their commitments.

Andrés Danny and Anthony great
young men! Super hard workers with the smile very informative which made everything so much Better never saw one of them sitting around always working God bless them very happy with Solar company thank you Carole Juarez

We are very pleased with both the product and the service we received from Clayco. The install was done as promised. It was by far the best price we found.

Our solar project was on time and within budget. The team worked quickly and with professionalism. One of the best things was the communication on what was going on during the project - regular updates and transparent.

Clayco Electric Team (CET) installed our solar panels and system in August 2021 as planned and scheduled within 2 months of the time as soon as the contract was executed. CET stayed on the schedule that they planned with us from planning to completion: installation, mobilization, inspection and commissioning.

AET installation crew was very diligent in keeping the work area safe for others and returning the area cleaned before leaving our home. we appreciated that.

We recently contacted CET for assistance with the system operation in 2023. CET is responsive and very helpful in providing technical support and customer services. very knowledgeable and helpful.

CET has consistently provided good quality, professional and responsive services in a timely manner.

So far we are very happy with the installation of our solar panels. They've not turned them on to the grid yet but we'll do so soon. The panels are very sharp looking and the men who put the panels were very articulate in their work. The salesperson we had was very good and knowledgeable of their product. I look forward to seeing how the panels will save us money in the near future. I'll update as we continue to go online with our solar panels.

Clayco was very receptive to our family needs and energy usage. Tailored a solar package for our home that was inclusive of our budget, location and esthetics. Quick scheduling, prompt installation with quality and professionalism. Thank you Clayco!

As a new customer to solar Clayco did an excellent job of explaining how the system works, what to expect and when it would be installed. They set the bar very high and their follow up and coordination of the progress gave me peace of mind. The job was finished to our expectations. Several months later we are enjoying our lower power bills.

After experiencing a hard time trying to find a solar company to talk to about servicing my system. Clayco was a breath of fresh air when they responded. They were extremely helpful and informative. I really did appreciate them taking the time to answer my questions and point me in the right direction to help resolve my issues.

Easy to work with. Stayed on schedule which was important. Explained technical aspects well. Nice people, communicated well.

I went through a solar broker, who recommended Clayco for the install. In addition to the solar panels, I also needed a main panel upgrade. This was a big plus they could do everything with their team and not sub it out like other solar installers might do.

It took less than a day to install 16 panels and get the preliminary wiring in place. The power company took several weeks to get everything in place and approved. After that, Clay's team came back to complete the install and wire up the new main panel. Andrew, Colton, and Dan were all great and I really appreciated the attention to detail when wiring and installing everything. I'll use Clayco again when I add more panels in the future.

From start to finish, I had access to multiple members of the solar team to check off the puzzle pieces needed for the project. I was very excited to turn on 20 400 watt panels today and look forward to enjoying the benefits of solar in Arizona. I am grateful they will be a resource post installation if needed as someone that is very new to solar. I am very happy with everyone at Clayco Electric and quite grateful our paths crossed. I needed to be walked through that process from start to finish and a huge thanks to all involved!

I got several quotes for solar panels on my very small house. Clayco Solar was the best quote - Clay was great about answering questions via email. I chose to get the roof redone, since the solar has a 30 year warranty and I wanted my roof to last as well. Clay was patient and worked out the contract, plans and permits, and utility approvals so he was ready when the roof was completed. All the solar and electrical work is done in-house, no sub-contracting. He was excellent about sharing plans and documentation which I deeply appreciate.
We started paperwork in July 2023, I got roof completed Oct 21st, and the solar panel system was installed by Dustin & Sean in one day Oct 23rd. TEP Solar Renewables (permission to operate) was active Nov 15, and my electric bills started dropping! Last summer 2023 my electric bills were well over $100, up to ~$160 with A/C going. Since then bills have ranged from $40 to zero!! Got to love it!
I opted not to get a battery - too expensive at the moment. If I ever get an electric car, then I would look into one more panel and the battery. Currently spare energy is sold back to TEP for bill credit.
I highly recommend Clay Mauldin at Clayco Electric Solar! A great team!

I worked with about 5 solar representatives before signing on with Clayco Electric Inc.

I was about to pay $25,000 for 13 panels, and I saw a deal offering from Clayco that offered 16 panels for about $15,000. Thank god for coupon mailers!

I live in Tucson, so pricing may be different in other areas, and it may change due to inflation and other factors, but I’m sure you can trust that Clayco Electric is offering the best deal you will find. In addition, they will provide you high quality materials and installation; they don’t cut corners.

I worked with Clay, Dominic, Roman and Andrea; the experience was excellent.

You can stop shopping around; this is the installer you want to choose.
