Good Faith Solar

BentonvilleLocation

Good Faith Solar has emerged as one of the most credentialed dedicated solar installers headquartered in Arkansas, and is the only Arkansas-based installer carrying both Maxeon Preferred and REC ProTrust certifications on the residential PV side. Based at 3604 NW Frontage Road in Bentonville with a January 2020 founding, the company holds an A+ Better Business Bureau rating and earns an EnergySage 'Elite Installer' designation — the marketplace's highest tier, awarded based on independently verified customer ratings, vendor endorsements, and conversion data. Their EnergySage profile shows a perfect 5.0 rating across 19 verified reviews. What stood out is the warranty package, which is unusual in its scope. Good Faith Solar publishes 25-year product, performance, and labor warranties as a baseline and offers up to 40-year coverage on equipment and on its production guarantee — a coverage envelope the company describes as the only one of its kind in Arkansas. The numbers behind that claim are credible because Maxeon and REC are among the few panel brands whose own warranties extend into the 40-year band, meaning Good Faith is layering installer commitments on top of premium manufacturer guarantees rather than making a stretch warranty unbacked by hardware. SolarEdge inverter pairings round out a tier-one equipment selection that reflects deliberate specification. Our research team noted two practical caveats. Good Faith does not publicly publish NABCEP certification for its team — a credential prospective customers should specifically ask about during the sales conversation. The company is also relatively young, with five years of operating history as of 2026, so the long-term warranty service track record is still being built. The offset is a sustained Elite Installer rating on a marketplace that uses actual project outcome data. As a locally owned Arkansas operation with an exclusive Arkansas service area, Good Faith Solar brings firsthand knowledge of Arkansas utility interconnection — including SWEPCO, Entergy Arkansas, and the cooperatives that dominate large rural portions of the state — and the kind of community-rooted accountability that is hard to replicate from a national brand. With a composite score of 77.5 out of 100, Good Faith Solar stands as our top-ranked solar company in Arkansas for 2026.

AEV Solar | Solar Panel, Generator and Battery Backup Installations Company in Arkansas

—Years in Business
Little RockLocation

AEV Solar, the residential brand of Arkansas Energy Ventures, has built a focused Tesla-aligned residential solar practice out of central Arkansas, and is one of the very few certified Tesla Powerwall installation crews actively operating in the state. The company is based at 3905 Cooperative Way Suite C in Little Rock with a Better Business Bureau file opened in October 2019, and SolarReviews lists the firm as having installed solar since 2017. AEV holds an A+ BBB rating, and our research team verified more than 300 systems installed across Arkansas — a meaningful track record in a market where total annual residential installs statewide are modest. What stood out is the equipment focus and self-perform model. AEV markets itself as a Tesla Powerwall installer first, which is a useful filter for homeowners because Tesla's certification program is restricted to dealers Tesla has independently vetted on installation quality. The company also accepts service-only work on systems originally installed by other contractors — a willingness to inherit other installers' projects that signals confidence in the team's diagnostic and repair capability, and that is operationally rare in residential solar. AEV publishes a 25-year warranty backing its installations and lists memberships with SEIA, ASES, SEPA, and UL certification credentials. Our research team did note caveats. AEV's third-party SolarReviews rating sits at 3.93 out of 5 across a smaller sample of 7 reviews — a tighter review base than the company's BuildZoom score (which ranks them in the top 16% of Arkansas licensed contractors) and Google footprint would suggest. Prospective customers should specifically read the recent reviews on both BBB and SolarReviews and ask about post-install customer service responsiveness. The company is not BBB accredited despite the A+ rating, and we did not find a publicly listed NABCEP credential for the team. The combination of Tesla Premier Certified status, an Arkansas headquarters, a sustained installation track record across multiple Arkansas utility territories, and explicit service-only capability for inherited systems gives AEV Solar a credible second-place position among Arkansas-based installers. With a composite score of 73.0 out of 100, AEV Solar holds the second-ranked position in Arkansas for 2026.

Shine Solar

0BBB Complaints
—Years in Business

Shine Solar has been one of the higher-volume residential solar installers in Arkansas since its 2016 founding, operating from a Rogers headquarters at 5214 W Village Parkway with a Northwest Arkansas service core that has expanded into Oklahoma. The company carries a 4.6 to 4.7 star Google rating across more than 600 verified reviews — by far the largest verified review base of any Arkansas-headquartered solar installer our research team examined — and SolarReviews rates the firm 'Very Good' in its expert evaluation system, with 605 of 668 reviews at five stars. What stood out is the operational scale. Customer reviews consistently describe efficient installation execution — multiple homeowners report complete same-day or next-day rooftop install timelines — and full handling of permitting and utility paperwork, a level of process maturity that is difficult to build at a smaller scale. The company markets a turnkey residential model spanning design, permitting, installation, and post-install monitoring. Our research team also identified important caveats that prospective Arkansas customers should weigh carefully. Recent BBB and SolarReviews entries include a meaningful pattern of negative reviews mentioning unresponsive post-install customer support, delayed warranty resolutions, and disputes over promised energy-offset percentages. Some review aggregators have flagged the business as out-of-service at certain points during recent reporting periods, although the SolarReviews profile as of early 2026 shows the company actively operating with multiple Arkansas and Oklahoma office locations. The 29 one-star reviews on SolarReviews — out of 668 total — represent a non-trivial complaint pattern that is heavier than what our team observed at Good Faith Solar or AEV Solar. For homeowners seriously considering Shine Solar, prospective customers should specifically verify current operating status, get any production guarantee in writing with measurable kilowatt-hour benchmarks, and confirm warranty service dispatch procedures before signing. The company's scale, residential focus, and dominant verified review base earn it a top-three slot among Arkansas-based installers — but with meaningfully more caveats than the entries above it. With a composite score of 67.0 out of 100, Shine Solar holds the third-ranked position in Arkansas for 2026.

*Companies displaying 15 or more years in business are typically established electrical, roofing, or general contracting firms that expanded into solar installation in more recent years. The years shown may reflect the age of the parent organization or a strategic partner, not necessarily the solar division itself. This distinction is worth considering when comparing to dedicated solar installers, as purpose-built solar companies may offer more specialized expertise despite a shorter operating history.
