About Sun Valley Solar Solutions

Our mission is simple: to transform the way Arizona’s homes and businesses are powered -- from polluting, rapidly diminishing fossil fuels to the most clean and abundant energy source available -- solar.

To achieve that goal, Russ Patzer and Joe Messner started Sun Valley Solar Solutions in 2005 to design and install solar electric systems for residential and commercial customers. Russ and Joe utilized their experience as engineers skilled in system design and system performance to develop a set of standards for installations. This means each customer gets the same result, every time, with quality assurance checks throughout.

All of our systems are installed by professional tradespeople with a minimum of 80 hours of training. In addition, co-owner Joe Messner has earned NABCEP PV-installer certification. This voluntary certification from the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners is a complex and time-consuming process; the NABCEP has only granted certification to about 30 other solar installers in Arizona.

When you select Sun Valley Solar Solutions to design and install your solar electric system, you'll know we've already done the engineering work for you. Our aesthetically pleasing systems feature panels and inverters that have been tested and proven to last 40 to 50 years even in extreme summer temperatures.

High quality doesn't mean high cost, however. Our systems remain affordable and cost-effective. Our customers get the best value for their money. In a recent survey of our customers, 100 percent of those responding said they'd hire us again.
