Why Service is Booming at Sun Valley Solar

The Phoenix solar market is shifting. As PV systems across the valley age, the demand for expert troubleshooting is skyrocketing. Unfortunately, as other solar companies go out of business, thousands of "orphaned" systems are left behind, leaving homeowners desperate for reliable service.

While other companies are scaling back, our Service Department is expanding to meet this demand. Sun Valley Solar Solutions has been a stable, trusted industry leader for 20 years. We offer the top-tier resources of a large corporation while fiercely maintaining the supportive, family feel of a smaller business. If you love the puzzle of troubleshooting and want a career with a company built to last, we want you on our team.

• Networking & Monitoring: Install, configure, and troubleshoot monitoring equipment (SunPower, SMA, Locus), including routers, Wi-Fi adapters, and hardwiring.
