Who are we?

Brendon Heyn, started his career in construction in 2004 as an Energy Efficiency Technician and soon after a Project Coordinator for the first company in the Valley doing Energy Efficiency Inspections for new construction.  At that time this was all new stuff, but today it is the STANDARD AND MINIMUM for how all habitable structures are built.  Pasionate about building better he took what knowledge he could pick up there and quickly got a role with Beazer Homes building 300+ homes in the valley between 2005 and 2007.  In 2007 his cumulation of experience got him a Project Engineer role with Urban Edge Builders where he managed construction for Urban Infill projects in Downtown Phoenix, a Hospital Expansion in Parker, AZ, and 2 showcase homes in Paradise Valley.  Surviving through most of the recession with a job his reality ultimately matched most of those in construction by the end of 2009 and jobless with 2 young children he went back to school to finish his B.S. in Public Agency Management for what he thought at the time would be to help build up a green building program for a municipality.  Plans must be adaptable and intrigued by a new booming industry moving into the valley he gained a life changing role in operations at SolarCity in 2011 (bought by Tesla in 2016).  SolarCity is generally regarded industry-wide as the leader in quality and customer experience and that is what he took with him to the next 5 solar companies he helped to build.  

In 2017 after both local Utilities raised rates for “solar customers” Brendon decided to diversify and buy into a pool service company based on a friend that need support with a growing client base.  Today those Pool Customers are a huge part of SunSaguaro and the starting place for new Electrical, Solar, and Energy Efficiency conversations.  We love our pool customers and spending time in their backyards.  This business model is unique to us and our effort to not just be part of the Home Services industry, but improve it by giving customers the most perfect experience you can find out of the 3 industries combined.

International and Tribal work

Grateful for every opportunity he has received, Brendon has been fortunate enough to support nonprofits internationally by deploying a solar off-grid PV system to a school in Nicaragua and Supporting efforts on the Navajo Nation to electrify through solar.  Brendon helped lead several projects including a potential CARES Funded Project where the process to install 2.5kW off-grid systems at 1500 Navajo homes in 3 months was developed and tested.  Struggling to find others at the organizations he worked for that shared the same interest in helping, SunSaguaro became a place where supporting indigenous groups effort to achieve sovereignty through solar electrification is a huge part of what we aim to do and what drives us every day.

Customer Care

Customer Care is #1 for SunSaguaro and Brendon’s ability to bring comfort to a customer started at the very beginning.  In 2013 at SolarCity his boss and coworkers called him the “Customer Whisperer” for his ability as a Project Manager not only to schedule and complete work effectively and efficiently but also sooth concerns or eliminate issues when they arise.  He has always given out his personal number and every customer has a direct line to Brendon to get answers to questions as they come up.  SunSaguaro is a Family & Friends Company and Customers become friends the day they sign up.  Going into 2024 Brendon has installed or overseen over 15,000 residential rooftop installs in the state of Arizona and thousands more over 10 other states.
