Maximize Your Savings

Most solar companies focus on selling as much as possible—without ensuring your system is the right fit for your home. At Solarize with Sam, we do things differently. With my MIT & USC engineering expertise, I design custom solar solutions that maximize your savings—without overcharging you or oversizing your system.

Why Work with Sam

No Pushy Salespeople, Just Honest Advice: Most solar salespeople are trained to close deals, not optimize systems. I focus on right-sizing your solar system for the best financial return.

Expert Utility Rate Guidance: Know exactly what to expect from your bill. I help you estimate realistic savings and understand what factors affect your costs..

Transparent Pricing & No Upfront Costs: My service is free to you—I work with multiple installers who compete to work with me, ensuring you get the best deal.

Realistic Cost Savings: A well-designed system typically cuts your bill by 50–90%. Eliminating your bill entirely typically requires a system that is significantly larger, and the ROI disappears. Bigger systems don’t always mean more savings.

Maximizing Tax Credits & Incentives: There’s a lot of misinformation about tax credits and incentives. I give honest guidance so you know exactly what to expect.

Pearl-Certified Solar Installations – Every system I install comes with Pearl Certification, an elite home performance credential that adds measurable value to your home and ensures you receive a specialized home appraisal fromPearl-trained professionals.

Solar System Design & Install

Most solar companies push oversized systems to increase profits. I take the opposite approach—educating homeowners on smart solar investments and designing cost-effective systems that fit your energy needs without unnecessary add-ons.

Energy Bill & Plan Audit

Your utility rate plan is just as important as your solar system. I help homeowners navigate APS and SRP energy plans to ensure your system works with your rate structure—not against it.

Battery Storage

With Arizona’s evolving rate plans, selling excess solar power back to the grid is becoming less profitable. Battery storage helps maximize your savings by storing solar energy for peak-hour use. I offer Tesla Powerwall, Franklin, and other top-tier battery solutions.
