Sunrun consistently gets positive feedback on helpful reps and long-term energy savings. We really like that its solar lease program lets you go solar without a huge upfront investment. There’s no initial charge for any solar equipment, installation or permit.
- “Very happy with Sunrun. We have not had to make a payment to the electric company in over a year other than the connection fee and lately have not had to even pay that due to the credit balance we have with them. Our only payments for electric has been to Sunrun which is much lower than the payments we had with the electric company before we had solar.” — Paul in Hammonton
- “The install crew of Sunrun was fantastic. I watched them like a hawk and I was very satisfied with everybody. They were polite, quick and clean. My experience with Sunrun has been good. I haven't had any failures or problems.” — Thomas in Franklin
- “Salesperson was very helpful, answered all questions that I asked and was prompt when I contacted by phone and by text message. Was on time for all appointments and meetings and very helpful with the roof replacement. Salesperson was very knowledgeable about their product and gave me a hard copy of contract when I asked for it.” — Paul in Saddle Brook
Be sure to review your contract terms carefully. Many customers are delighted with Sunrun, but there are also negative reviews describing issues with the installation, poor communication and unmet expectations on the system’s performance.
