I felt bad that my husband kept having to run our generator every day so I agreed to upgrade our solar. We stopped by on a Tuesday to inquire about upgrading our solar arrangement on our truck camper and by Thursday, we had an additional 600W of solar added. Granted, it is towards the end of the rv season in Quartzsite so we lucked out on the timing and availability. Everyone we talked to was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. They do their installs the same day and prices for parts and labor are very reasonable. Our install was a challenging one since our camper does not have a flat roof and is very slippery. Thank you to everyone in the front office, and the people that did the actual installation. Everything is running great and our batteries are full before noon.

I have used Discount Solar for installation of solar systems on three different rvs over a span of 20 years. I never had a problem with any of these solar systems. Recently had them install a third lithium battery in my current travel trailer. Easily made an appointment and the job was done in a timely and inexpensive manner. Thanks Discount Solar.

These folks are amazing. They educated us on our solar needs then got us set up and ready to go in less than a day. Very friendly, professional and approachable, answered all our questions patiently (we are not very solar savvy). Will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs solar.

Bought a Victron MPPT controller they have a note on their shell saying it’s cheaper than Amazon. Purchased that and a converter charger paid cash got back to the RV and looked on Amazon. Amazon was $30 cheaper For the same PPT controller. Went to install the converter it did not fit they told me when I bought the converter cause I was concerned that I could bring it back for a refund. Took it back in and only got a partial refund. Will never waste my time energy or money there again.

We had a solar panel installed on our van. Michael, our salesman was very knowledgeable and helpful, he explained everything thoroughly. The installation tech Matt was very professional and helpful too and installed it just according to our wishes, placing it so that we can add more later. We highly recommend Discount Solar and plan to have 2 more panels installed when we are back in Quartzsite next year.

Scheduled an hour to go over shunt setting with controller from battery. My battery was showing 30% full when it was actually around 90%. Scheduled me for 2 days from initial call which was nice. They helped adjust the settings and explained why the prob was happening.They checked all the wiring for solar and shore.. Replaced some wiring. My system is working great and I have peace if mind. Thank you... This company knowledgeable and reasonably priced.

Monday at 8:45 the gate opened and we pulled in and watched them get started for the day. Our complete order cam out on a cart and they went to work. 2:30 we picked up our Rv heading to dome rock for the test. Well I’m more than happy with the job and we used our battery’s all night and coffee in the morning furnace ran all night. Great job guys and thanks again

I went to Discount Solar for some suggestions on a part i was looking for. The first face that i saw and approached me with a smile and a no pressure recommendation for what i needed was Exactly what i needed. Thank you, STEVE!!
Now i just need to get some mechanical issues taken care of so i can press on towards completion.
Also, a big shout out to Tyler for recommending, smiling Teresa and Craig the manager for hiring the right people who have great customer service skills.
Plenty of smooth spaces in the parking lot, as well as ADA compliant transitions and entry.
A lot of options in choosing the right part for people like me who need a Solar For Dummies book.
Prices, showroom, stock and hours were all competitive with others, there's a lot of history in the approximate 35 years of ownership. The customer service here in Quartzsite has been good, great and fantastic in assisting us road dwellers.

These guys are great! They are very helpful and willing to answer all of your questions. They are quite knowledgeable and are known for their quality work. I had a new battery placed for my RV house that was lithium as well as solar glass panels applied to my roof. I am completely satisfied with their workmanship and their attention to detail and going through the job both before and after with me. This is the place to go if you need this work done

Great experience! Just had them install two lithium batteries and a smart shunt in my Class B RV. I called and the quote seemed reasonable for me to drive the 200 miles. When I got there the job was easier than some others so the price was less than quoted. I respect they quoted on worst case instead of getting there and being hit with a larger than expected bill.
Everyone was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I didn't feel rushed through and all my questions were answered. Also, I didn't feel "upsell" pressure at all.
I highly recommend Discount Solar, especially for those of us that haven't a clue.

Steve G, Charlie, Jesse, and Michael did a great job! This is the 3rd RV I've had Discount Solar install solar on. The first was a 5th wheel, the 2nd was a bumper pull, and now this 3rd one is a Class A. They are always fast, clean, and upfront. They know what they're doing and I will continue to bring stuff to them. Great job! Thank you!

A local person recommended this business. They did a minor fix at no charge and gave me the information I needed for the long term fix. I highly recommend this shop.

Super glad when I needed a new house battery and converter for my rig, that I was in Quartzsite. Michael listened to what I thought I wanted, made suggestions and gave me a couple of options. I was able to make an informed decision and left feeling like I was in control of the situation and not at someone's mercy due to my lack of "battery expertise". No hard sell at Discount Solar. Steve G did an excellent install and made sure I knew how to run the app and what things I needed to monitor and why before I left. If and when I add solar to my setup, Discount Solar is where I will shop.

I am an Accountant and a Real Estate Broker in the state of California. Cost, quality products, professional service, and results are important to me and any business I choose to patronize. My experience with Discount Solar meets all those categories plus.

The solar system installed on my RV by other qualified businesses needed some refinement. I had delayed having them done fearing they would be too costly and doubtful the refinements would be done correctly.

DISCOUNT SOLAR in Quartzite, AZ  is our go-to solar and electronics shop. They have put solar on all but one of our rigs over our years as nomads. This year we wanted to update our  400 aH AGM system to 600 aH Lithium. They gave us a good price on three LifeBlue that have Bluetooth, temperature control, and more, and had them installed that day. We experienced a strange phenomena the next morning where the electrical system would cut out in the mornings. Our fuse box is original 2002.  They quickly traced it down to a tiny metal piece on the fuse board that had become loose over the years, fixed the board, and reinstalled within three hours. They are tops at their job and just as good customer service. We trust them completely!  If you're new to solar or had it for years and just want to update, Discount Solar is the place to go. Family owned for 35 years. Open October to March.

When my interstate battery died I called discount solar to get an accessment of my options. The battery was replaced with a 200ah lithium lifeblue. They installed 2 100w and 1 90w panels on the roof.
I am very impressed with Steve G. And Steve W. Professional courtesy and efficiency when working together.
These guys and gals made this a painless process.

I give them 5 ⭐️
Go see Discount Solar for your solar needs. I will be back.

Needed some solar upgrades to keep up with the cloudy days and keep my freezer/fridge with power. I walked into discount solar and was greeted with smiles and help, I talked to Craig and the shop was busy but they squeezed me in that same day to help keep me going on my adventures! This place is great and I highly recommend discount solar, from the staff, to the techs and plenty of everything you would need to keep powering off the sun! Im very happy and satisfied with the help and service they have given me. Thanks again to all at discount solar!

Matt, Sandy and the rest of the crew were nice. I went in ready to purchased new batteries, thw original were purchsed from them; upon testing them they found I didn't need them. They Uninstaller and reinstalled the batteries no hassle. I would definitely use them for my battery and solar needs.

@@@ UPDATE@@@ March 10, 2025

So I spent $7000 for my solar installation at Discount Solar in November 2023. I paid, what I've since learned is an overinflated price for a LifeBlue battery and 527 watts of solar plus the installation and hardware. I started having problems with the battery in December 2023. Larry from LifeBlue started out being a nice guy and tried to resolve the problem with the battery but as time went on he turned into someone who failed to stand behind his product. The problem was/is that the battery wouldn't fully charge and would frequently turn off, leaving me without electricity in my RV. I took it back to Discount several times through January 2024 but still had issues. I had to leave Quartzsite in February 2024 and spent all of the time from then until November 2024 having to be in FHU sites, an expense that I shouldn't have had to incur if the battery had functioned as it should. When I returned to Quartzsite I took my RV back to Discount to have them check it out. I was told by Matt and Craig, the owner of Discount, that there was nothing wrong with the battery, although it wouldn't fully charge and would still turn off unexpectedly. I never received a satisfactory resolution to the problem, so I replaced the battery with another product, another $1000 expense. Since replacing the LifeBlue battery with another product, I haven't had any issues. As a matter-of-fact, I spoke to Craig directly to ask him to honor the warranty of the product. Craig very condescendingly told me that I should never use my 1500-watt heater as it would harm the battery. He spoke to me as if I were just another dumb female who doesn't have a clue how this stuff works. I admit that when I initially started with the solar, I had no clue how this stuff worked but have now educated myself, and one thing I know is this battery was defective from the get-go. Logically, if using a 1500-watt battery would screw up the battery, then using my microwave should have the same detrimental effect on the battery. In other words, the battery and, therefore, the entire solar was useless to me. Craig, the condescending ass that he is, wouldn't speak to me on the phone but did have Sherry call me and offer me a choice of two different batteries to replace the $1500 LifeBlue battery However, by this time, I had already replaced it with other batteries and didn't need a replacement battery. In addition, I no longer wish to deal with a "man" that has a low opinion of females. I would rather eat the $1500 I spent on this battery that was supposed to be guaranteed for 10 years. My final words on this matter. If you are a self-respecting woman, DO NOT spend your money at this company. As for Craig, all I can say is if he's an "electrical engineer," his education is as lacking as his attitude toward women us. I can support with documentation everything I've stated here and am willing to speak to anyone who has questions. Just leave a remark with your phone number and I'll call you. Buyer beware. I wish I had had a truthful review before I wasted my money with these people. And Craig, I know you read these reviews, so if you choose to dispute what I've said, be prepared to bring the proof that I'm wrong. You and Larry are fortunate, I don't consider it worth it to bring a lawsuit. You and your horrible attitude will no longer occupy space in my head and have a negative impact on my journey.

It was a fun experience. I can’t say that very often but it’s true here. They did exactly what they said they were going to do at exactly at the price they estimated. Steve G, Charlie and Steve W were responsive for every concern I had. They made suggestions so I purchased only what I needed. I can’t say enough about the great service!

Spoke at length with Dan regarding an 800 W system on our rig. Agreed on general design. He was going to text me with an estimate "in about an hour". We never heard from him again. Their competitor down the road earned our business and did a great job on the install.

I purchased an RV used. A previous owner installed the solar from Discount Solar 14 years prior. I had a problem with the system. I called and the store was closed for the season. I left a msg for tech support. I was not expecting a call back. discount solar called back while on vacation. Walked me thru some steps to troubleshoot my issue and took the time to explain the details. Was very informative. I would highly recommend. Treated me as good as if I purchased the system.

My Wife and I bought our first travel trailer and drove from the midwest to Quartzite to spend the winter. Our goal was to boon-dock as much as possible. Our rig, although a 35 foot trailer only had one solar panel and one marine lead-acid battery. We used a generator about four hours a day. Running a generator is not my favorite thing to do, and I knew next to nothing about solar, but I sure wanted to stop using the generator so much. Long story short I talked with Discount Solar at their shop and got an appointment in a matter of days, and had three more 190 Watt solar panels added. It's been a month now and I haven't needed to use the generator at all. Part of the package was three 12 volt lithium batteries. I am very happy with the entire process.

I visited Discount Solar to get an estimate. Doug helped me put a small package together, however just prior to my appointment I called because I wanted another panel and another battery. This actually required a completely new system. Matt the estimator had no issue with revising our estimate over the phone. Matt also said that the estimates were usually very close to actual numbers. In spite of the change there was no delay with regard to the appointment, and the actual cost was literally within two dollars of the estimate. I had checked on prices of some of the equipment needed as well, so sticking so close to the estimate was a plus!

We pulled our Trailer up on the day of the appointment and dropped it off. Charlie the lead, introduced us to the crew, and went through the process with us. Steve G. was the electrician and talked to us about what we could expect from the new system. I talked with Michael about where the panels would be placed, and met Jesse who put in the batteries.

We got a call an hour early from Sandi who has been talking care of us, and she said everything was done! Let me say this again, I am so happy with the retro fit of the new solar system. I was nervous because this was a fair sized investment and I was just throwing my trust on Discount Solar. Everything turned out to be great! I would recommend Discount Solar Completely!

Great service from the guys at discount solar. They targeted for a one day job and even though they had to stay late it was a one day job. Great communication with the staff (2 way) and all my wishes were understood and adhered to. I definately recommend this team of individuals for any ones next solar install / upgrade.

Near the end of January they installed solar on my RV. I chose to go with changes to what I wanted suggested by Dan and Matt. Having used it for a month now I’m glad I went with their expertise rather than just the research I’d done. The install was complete in less time than they told me to expect, and Charlie went through all the details of the install making sure all my questions were answered. I’ve been 100% happy with the install. Sandy followed up After I’ve had a chance to get used to the system to make sure I was happy with everything. Today they moved some of the solar equipment in my RV to make my life easier. Matt, Charlie, and Steve again knocked it out of the park for me. They were again done in less time than quoted, clean up after themselves, and made sure everything looks great. Both times they’ve done work for me their prices have been fair and competitive for the quality of equipment and work. They get top marks across-the-board as far as I’m concerned!

My solar charging system started malfunctioning while we were staying in the Quartzsite area. From the moment I stopped in at Discount Solar, I had a great experience. Clay checked out my solar controller, which made me realize that the problem I was having wasn't in that device. I scheduled an appointment with Matt to bring my trailer in to have my system analyzed for what was causing my problem. They scheduled it in right away, which made me pleased. The service tech, Steven, was very quick and thorough in troubleshooting my problem, and suggested an immediate remedy. While he had my solar panel off, he was able to see that I had another problem underneath the panel with a potential leak where the wires penetrate the roof of my trailer. Fortunately, our problems had an easy fix, so I didn't even have to unhook from my trailer, as it didn't take very long at all, and they were done. Steven and his helper I don't remember his name) anchored the 2 wires to the roof, sealed the area where the wires were entering the roof, and replaced the connectors for the solar panel. As an added bonus, he had taken pictures of what he was seeing, so he could show me what he found, as well as what he did to fix it. Everyone at Discount Solar was very professional, and they made me feel that they really cared for me as their customer. At this time, I couldn't be happier. My system is back working the way it was meant to work. If I ever need to have work on my system, I hope I can have Discount Solar do the work. Dan, Sandy, Clay, Matt, & Craig, I salute you for the way you treat your customers, and for the quality of your work. Thank you.

I had Discount Solar installed a lithium solar system in my trailer and I am more than happy with the system and clean installation. They are willing to work with ya until you know your system. Trust me I put them to the test and now I understand how the system works thanks to Craig the owner and Clay for working with me until I understood. The clean installation was done by Charlie,Steve,Jesse and Michael. Thanks again and I will be back any of my Solar needs. Thanks for having made in the USA available.

This business very customer satisfaction driven! I drove in with a battery to my RV almost non functional. They sold me the best battery for my system and no BS no hard sales just mater of fact superior knowledge of solar, and batteries. I came in with no appointment. The diagnostic and installation was fast. I am very satisfied and will be back next year for another work project to improve my power. Thank you Clay, Charlie, and Dan Marti E

So seems this place is only nice and helpful if you buy big items. . I went in with a few questions and felt like I was a bother to the man . With his short snippy answers. I did buy a small item so I wasn't just fishing for info in fact I ended up buying 4 panels from one of the other solar places in town . I understand it's a very busy time but maybe work on being friendly

Very nice place! Have everything you would need and more. Great customer service. Clay, who was very knowledgeable was very enjoyable to talk with, he even showed me pitures of his solar builds on golf carts from his personal pictures. Enjoyed stopping in. I didn't buy anything this visit, but I plan on buying from them in the future. Prices are very fair compared to online with no shipping wait times. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS if you need good quality solar products! Great place!!!

Update: Went back a week later and bought four new 4/0 cables with lugs and heat shrinked ends they made them in a few minutes and made well. They worked perfectly and took care of an issue I was having with a solar system. I will be back and send others there way too! Thanks Discount Solar!

They had no idea how to handle our factory built 400i Solarflex System on our new Keystone Cougar 1/2 Ton. All we needed was to hook up our 2 (200) Ampere Time Lifepo4 batteries and ensure settings were optimized. They said no problem. Over an hour and a half and 5 techs later... they got rude because they didn't know what was wrong. They were asking us questions that they should have had the equipment to figure out. I have a video of them standing around staring at it. The Owner Craig tried Googling it! He then told Will they can send him on his way after Will nicely said it felt like he was paying for them to have a class. Really? There were more rude comments before this due to frustration levels. Clay, the electrician, should not be around customers. At the end Craig tried to smooth the situation by admitting they had no idea and that Clay had pervious complaints. Yet he himself had done likewise. We were there to learn and would have been happy to collaborate or even come back after they had researched...and we told him so. There is no shame in not knowing, especially in a ever evolving tech field. Yet they only could tell us our battery was hooked up wrong or one of our batteries wasn't working. What we got was rudeness and a sense that we would have been better off if we hadnt gone. My suggestion is if you have a very basic (lead) solar system they may be able to help you.I would recommend going to some one else. Stew was the only polite on. Thank you Stew. You are the reason I have to give Discount Solar one star. Update: We went to Solar Bills without our rig. He answered out questions and told us to try bypassing the external unit so the system in the pass through was connected directly to our batteries as it sometimes is the problem. Our solar now works.

I was having issues with my system holding a charge. I dropped by to make an appointment and they got me in the same day. After an initial consultation we thought it may be the batteries, but they were still fine. They spent an hour troubleshooting the problem before realizing that my panel wasn't strong enough to carry me through a whole day at this time of year. Short days and low sun meant I just wasn't getting enough charge. They were able to add another panel to give me a total of 300w. The cost was pretty much the same as the battery quote. They were professional, fair, and the whole shop fell in love with Johnny my dog. When I do need new batteries this is the place I will go to. And the best part is that I was able to have lights all evening. Thank you Discount Solar, you guys are the best!

Added another 2 panels to existing system. Discount Solar's team was 100% on task. Efficient check in process. I like the fact that I could speak directly with the main installer and make sure that we both are on the same sheet of music. I'm happy I chose Discount solar!!

One of if not the best solar vendor and repair facilities in the southwest. Staff is super friendly and is always willing to answer questions for the diy person and if you get in over your head they are always willing to take over and fix your mistakes. Ok I know that from experience.

On our trip south from WA state to AZ, while boondocking, we turn on our inverter at night to charge our electronics. Getting up in the morning, we noticed the battery indicator light on our solar controller was flashing red, which we had never seen. (Our system is several years old, so we suspected the batteries were at the end of their life).
We came into Quartzsite, AZ, stopped at Discount Solar in Quartzsite, catching them just as they were getting ready to close for the day. Discount Solar is our “go to” place for solar. A very nice man checked the controller, putting it through several tests to determine the battery “health”. For the final test he switched off a breaker, put out the big living room slide, and using the microwave we heated up water. He watched the draw on the batteries. After spending about 10 minutes watching and testing, he said our “old” AGM batteries were performing exactly as they should. He recommended we not replace them now, as it would be a waste of money. Then he said there would be NO service charge!
These folks go out of their way to accommodate the needs of our RV Community with pleasantries and smiles! Thank you, Clay and THANK YOU, DISCOUNT SOLAR!!

The DC input plug on my Bluetti is having issues. Called and was told they WILL NOT work on Bluetti because it's an Amazon product. I've never heard of such a thing!!! I was told they have good electronics guy there but I'm still without power!! Will never support this local business or recommend them to anyone. Go to the other company.

Have had 3 or 4 complete installs over the years ... solar cells, controller, sine wave inverter and battery chargers. Installed on diesel pusher motorhomes and fifth wheels.
No more.
Met with rude employees and poor attitudes starting with salesman, Stew and continuing throughout.
Waslked away from $4, 700 install and comparable system installed next day at Solar Bill's for $3,000.

Not a group, but me personally (Nancy K) had a solar setup installed by Charlie, Dan, Jesse and Steve on 3/17. They did a great job and when we discovered the satellite dish hookup wasn't working, they called me back to the shop and Clay repaired it. Thanks to your whole crew for great service. I'll be back!!

We went to Discount Solar 2/2/2022 to upgrade the solar system on our 2008 motor home.
Stew checked out our system and recommended a couple of new panels, new Bluetooth controller and 2 100ah lithium batteries that would work great with the existing inverter. (Saving $$$)
Matt got us in quickly, Jesse & Steve did an outstanding job relocating the new batteries, rerouting the
wiring and building a shelf in the inverter cabinet. The move wasn’t easy but better for the batteries in the long run. They also replaced the engine batteries while they were at it.
Craig walked us through the system operation which was greatly appreciated.
Knowledge, great product & service are priceless. Definitely would recommend Discount Solar!

I don't know - seems like a business that takes in as much money as they do in a day could provide an indoor bathroom for their costumers. Instead, I had to tie my animals to a pole while I had to use a disgusting port-a-potty, Anyway, although I do believe my new lithium battery is very good, I'm extremely disappointed with my experience there. They seemed to know nothing about problems with integrating a lithium battery into an existing AGM set up. (I have a Class B RV). I went back to ask for help and was charged more money for basically no resolution. After researching solutions on my own, I was finally able to find the right business in Quartzsite to get my new lithium system on track so that I could continue my travels.

I would highly recommend Discount Solar for professional installation. These people were very informative, friendly and happy to assist us. They designed and installed a complete solar system the same day. Special thanks to Charlie, Dan, Jesse and Steve for the great job they did.

Being full time rv'ers we decided on Discount Solar after some research and reviews. We got a quote from Stu and had a complete 1540 watt system installed on 12-3-21. I did not want to do a review right away as I wanted to get some time with the system. After almost two months the system was what we needed, we do not have the ac or electric fire place hooked up to it. I run a couple rock tumblers and grinder but try to do that mid day, if I need too I run my generator for a little while. I have also needed to run the generator a little in the wet spell Arizona had in early January. From dealing with Craig and Charlie, Dan, Jesse and Steve doing the work they had it done in one day and we are very happy with it. Thank you.

5 stars says it all! I’m so happy with my solar upgrade that I got 1/10/22 at Discount solar.
EVERYONE, was so professional and service oriented. They have top of the line products and installation went smoothly.
Dan even alerted me to a problem that I’m having on my roof. He also gave me pictures that I can now send to Winnebago.
Thanks to everyone Matt, Stew, Charlie, Dan and Jesse for taking care of me and making my solar installation a pleasure

I had a very positive experience overall. This is a very professional, organized, well run business. From my first call to Matt, to the 3 technicians that worked on my coach....Charlie, Dan, & Jesse...and to Craig, the owner... everyone was very friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to answer all questions. The technicians who do the work are fast, effective, and clean. I would say the pricing here is fair based on my research. They are not the cheapest, but certainly not the most expensive. I would highly recommend this business for your solar needs!

They just added batteries and an inverter to my rig. This is the third rig they have worked in. They did an excellent job. I highly recommend them.

This store's 18 month warranty is bogus. They will blame you and every else under the sun instead of honoring the warranty. Consider the warranty a sales pitch with no validity. My friend and I did not even get a year's use out of the batteries we bought from them. Go to Walmart instead because Walmart has fresh inventory. Walmart in Parker is offering 6 volt batteries this year.

We Winter in the surrounding areas of Quartzsite and all over Arizona. We first educated ourselves more than 20 years about Solar. Over the yrs, we've gradually upgraded our RVs. Now, we have a Toyhauler that fits our lifestyle. With that, we required a reliable install Solar system, Inverter and reliable lithium batteries! We returned to Discount Solar because they truly are the best! We now can do our most favorite type of camping, BOONDOCKING! Having a Reliable system that is very comfortable without any worries is all due to Discount Solar, Quartzsite, Arizona! Thank you to the Honest, Friendly, very personable and humorous "now friends ", we can travel anywhere with are set-up!
To all at Discount Solar, Craig, Clay (LOL JOKES), Matt and the crew, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! See ya next season

I'd heard good things about Discount Solar, so went there when having problems with my solar system setup.

Right off the bat Clay could see that the wire sizes weren't adequate for my system. I appreciated that he didn't try to sell me something I didn't need. I decided to add another battery to my bank and Clay and Andy got the wires and battery installed in no time flat. The cost was very reasonable as well.

I recommend this place highly because they are true professionals and nice people. I'm glad I found this place and will be a repeat customer for my rig's solar needs. Oh, and if you're into puns, Clay is your guy!

Great group of guys working here! Rick took the time to explain the different types of batteries, solar panels and costs for my needs to boondock. Richard did the install of the batteries, walked me through what he was going to do, walked me through the apps and how to understand them, and even fixed my heat register that the factory failed to install correctly. The gentleman that did the solar portion of the install did a fantastic job- wish he would have done all the sealing work on my roof since he did a much cleaner looking job than the factory! Thank you to Matt for working around my schedule and getting me in here to get the work done. Thank you to Craig, Richard, Matt and Rick for answering my never ending questions and explaining the set up to me.
Highly recommend this place!

They live up to the high reviews we've read. They fit us in on no notice when our batteries in the RV died in 2021. We began upgrading our Solar March of 2021. They set up 3 solar panels and a 200 amp Lithium. They made sure we'd have the wiring needed to continue to upgrade in future. February 2023 we finished the solar system with their help. Great work, honest and helpful. I highly recommend them for your RV Solar.

I think they misunderstood or it was late in day, but I went in for an estimate for virtually the same thing that a friend asked for... a solenoid allowing charging of house batteries with van battery. My estimate was 3 times hers...$675.... We both have Van's. Her labor was estimated at 1 hr, mine at 3 hrs. Then there was a $250 estimate on inverter work.
I am hoping they will provide a reply for all to see.

I had such an amazing experience at Discount Solar!! I'm in the process of converting a van into a camper for full-time living, and the one thing I didn't feel at all confident in doing myself was the electrical work. I decided to stop in at Discount Solar to get a quote, and everyone was so knowledgeable, patient, and helpful that I immediately decided to book an installation with them (plus, the price was right)!

Peter and Dan set everything up for me and walked me through everything I needed to know about my new system. They were so unbelievably helpful and kind, going above and beyond my expectations. Also shoutout to Rick, Matt, Sandy, and everyone else who helped me during the process, I appreciate each and every one of you! I am so excited and it feels great knowing my solar system is all setup and done the right way.

Discount solar is just a name.. if you're highly experienced in the solar world and buying and setting up your own personal system with your own knowledge you walk in and see the prices and immediately walk out. I dont doubt the quality of their products but if your looking for real discount solar this isn't the place for you. Its 2020 not 2000. Brand new panels are 80 cents a watt not 2$ a watt. You can buy flexible panels per watt for cheaper online than they sell fixed panels off the shelf here.

Great place to buy solar units! I bought the 140W suitcase made by Zamp - very high quality! And the employees all know their stuff, and the installation was totally professional. I highly recommend Discount Solar!

These guys are awsome and they know their stuff. They make sure you have proper wire Guage and proper grounding. They carry good quality supplies and can make cables up right in store. I will use them again and recommend them.

It has only been two days since we had a solar system installed at Discount Solar but we could not be happier or more impressed. This was our second experience here. Last year, when my husband and I decided to go full time, we had a small class C rig equipped with solar panels. When we arrived in Quartzsite for the winter, several people mentioned how awesome Discount Solar is. We stopped in one day to see about getting an inverter and they just happened to have an opening. We did the installation that day and were so impressed with the quality of service and professionalism.

Over the winter, we decided to trade in our class C and get a fifth wheel. Before we bought, we went by Discount Solar to discuss what they would recommend and what it would cost to install a solar system on a new rig. They answered questions and spent time with us, making us feel valued. We didn't get the new rig until March, in Texas. We knew we wanted Discount Solar to do the installation so we managed without solar through the summer. We hated our generator.

As soon as Discount Solar opened for the season, I was on the phone. Rick asked questions and helped design a system that would meet our current wishes plus be expandable in the future. He spent time explaining options and benefits of various components, both more and less expensive. I never felt like I was being pushed to buy things we would never use.

Our installation was two days ago. We were getting solar panels, an inverter and lithium batteries. We worked with Richard who reviewed our plan, and made suggestions based on the rig actually being there. Our rig had some challenges. The channel to run the wires from the roof down was narrow and had a Y in it which would make getting the wires down difficult. And some of our electrical outlets were on the same circuit as the fireplace which meant I might have to choose between those outlets or the microwave.

We left for the day while Richard, Michael and Jesse worked on our installation. We returned at the end of the day to the installation being complete. They had found a different way to get the wires from the roof down to the batteries and they had managed to get power from the inverter to both the fireplace and microwave circuits. I had it all! And our final bill was about $1000 under the estimate.

Richard, Clay and Matt all showed us different things about our new system making sure we understood the basics. Craig, the owner, told us to call anytime for questions. He advised us that even in off season when the business is closed, calls are forwarded to his house or he can be reached on his cell. That kind of service and accessibility is unheard of at most places.

The next day I called with a question and spoke with Clay. He actually asked where we were parked and said he could drive over to look at something that I asked about! I didn't take him up on that but was incredulous that the offer was made.

We have been so thrilled these last two days to use the microwave, TV and InstaPot while sitting in the desert and not running the generator. This morning I made cookies in the convection oven. It doesn't get much better than this. I cannot say enough good things about Discount Solar. If you want solar, this is the place to come. Thank you guys. You are amazing.
