Tycho Solutions designs and installs solar panel installation in Phoenix, AZ, on new builds and existing homes. Modeled to your usage, not a stock package.
Most new construction around Phoenix lands on one of two roof types: concrete or clay tile on a pitched frame, or spray foam over OSB on a flat or low-slope build. That split drives every mounting decision we make, tile calls for lifted rack and a flashed penetration at every foot, foam calls for a standoff or ballasted system that never breaks the coating’s seal.
Sun load here runs high most of the year, so array orientation and module spacing get set for peak summer output and roof surface heat, not just square footage. Monsoon season adds drainage to the list: every conduit run and junction box on a flat roof has to sit clear of standing water, or one storm finds the weak point.
We model your actual usage and roof, then show you the production and payback before you commit to anything.
Tycho Solutions installs complete solar energy systems for new construction across Phoenix, from panel design and permitting through battery storage and EV charger integration.
On a Phoenix new build we mount panels to the roof type in front of us, tile or flat foam, orient the array for the strongest summer exposure, and flash every penetration before the roofer closes it up. Wiring ties into the electrical panel ahead of drywall.
We size the full system to the home’s projected usage, handle City of Phoenix and utility paperwork, and coordinate the final inspection and Permission to Operate so the system is live and producing by the time the homeowner closes on the property.
A Level 2 charger goes in the garage, sized to the home’s electrical panel and wired in during framing so there is no exposed conduit later. We integrate it with the solar array so the vehicle charges off the home’s own daytime production.
Sized to carry a Phoenix home through a monsoon season outage or a grid strain day at peak summer AC demand, the battery stores excess daytime production for evening use and installs alongside the main panel during rough in, before walls close.
For a property built beyond the reach of a nearby utility line, we size panels and battery to carry the full home load with no grid tie and no interconnection application, a standalone system built around that site’s actual sun exposure.
Sized to a commercial build’s higher usage, the system goes on the roof or on the ground depending on what the property allows, coordinated with the general contractor’s schedule and commercial permitting so it is ready to operate at occupancy.
Builders and homeowners bring us in because we handle the full system, panels, permitting, battery, and EV charging, under one license and one schedule, coordinated directly with the framing and roofing crews instead of showing up after the fact.
Manufacturer-backed system components plus a written workmanship warranty on every install, so a Phoenix summer isn’t a gamble.
One point of contact coordinates panel install, City of Phoenix permitting, utility paperwork, and inspection scheduling on your timeline.
Racking and flashing sized to Phoenix heat and monsoon exposure, not the lowest-cost hardware on the truck.
Phoenix’s housing stock spans decades of build eras, from older concrete tile roofs on wide, low-slope lots to newer flat foam roofs on infill and contemporary builds. Each one changes how an array gets mounted and how much roof area is usable once setbacks, vents, and HVAC curbs are accounted for. On a new build, we size the system to the property before the roof is even dried in, so the mounting plan and the roofing plan match instead of fighting each other later.
The part of a solar install that fails over time in this climate is the penetration, not the panel. Every lag bolt, standoff, and conduit entry point is a place water and heat cycling can work a seal loose, so we flash and seal each one to the same standard as the roofing crew beside us, then verify it before the roofer closes in.
Phoenix-area HOAs vary widely on what’s visible from the street. Some allow panels on any roof plane, others restrict placement to rear or side-facing sections, and most have rules on where an EV charger conduit or a battery enclosure can sit relative to the front elevation. We build the array layout around those rules from the start rather than designing a system that gets rejected at architectural review.

Arizona ROC #364735, fully licensed, bonded, and insured for solar work across the Phoenix metro.
Panels, battery storage, and EV charging designed and installed together, not sold as separate add-ons.
We work directly with the general contractor’s schedule so solar goes in at the right framing stage.
Permitting, inspection, and Permission to Operate managed on your project’s timeline, start to finish.
Cost depends on system size, roof type, whether battery storage or an EV charger is part of the scope, and the home or building’s projected usage. We size every system to actual load rather than a flat package, so we won’t quote a number until we’ve reviewed the plans or the property. What we can tell you is that a system sized correctly the first time costs less over its life than one that gets upgraded piece by piece later.
An aging inverter or a string of underperforming panels can sometimes be patched, but a patch on a system already near the end of its production life usually buys a season, not a solution. For most homes past the ten-year mark, a solar system upgrade in Phoenix, new panels, a modern inverter, and battery storage sized to current usage, produces more power and costs less to maintain than chasing individual failures.
Yes. Flat and low-slope roofs are common on newer Phoenix builds and commercial properties, and they take a different mounting approach than tile: a ballasted or standoff racking system tied into the roofing membrane instead of lag-bolted into tile battens. We coordinate the mounting plan with the roofing system directly so the membrane’s warranty isn’t compromised by the array on top of it.
Yes, commercial solar installation in Phoenix is sized to the building’s actual usage and goes on the roof or on the ground depending on what the site allows. We coordinate directly with the general contractor’s schedule and commercial permitting, so the system is ready to activate at substantial completion rather than added as a retrofit after the building is occupied.
Tycho Solutions is licensed, bonded, and insured under Arizona ROC #364735. We handle City of Phoenix permitting, utility interconnection paperwork, and the final inspection ourselves, then coordinate Permission to Operate so the system is live and producing, not just installed and waiting on a signature.
Yes, and it’s the most efficient time to do it. Solar for new construction in Phoenix means panel conduit, EV charger wiring, and battery placement all get roughed in during framing, before drywall closes the walls, so there’s no exposed conduit or retrofit work once the home or building is finished.
