SunPower Reviews

I have 8 grandchildren. I want the world to be safe for them for a long long time to come so I decided to put on solar panels. I am happy with the smaller electric bills but happier with the breathing in years to come.

Decided to go for solar.... Ranking most important was 1) environmental conservation, 2) rising cost of electricity 3) SunPower quality materials, 4) warranty, 5) Ambrose Solar contractor was excellent in staying ahead of the process and keeping me informed.

I am thrilled with the customer service from Sunpower by Sun Solar. James ** is the best customer educator I have ever dealt with, and I dealt with another local company that was beyond horrible. He immediately had my problem with monitoring fixed.

Great installation and first year power production. For the past 30 days system is producing at 1/3 of capacity. Very poor response from Sunpower and local dealer Renova. Very frustrated. After 40 days problem has not been fixed and cannot get a straight answer from anyone.

Very happy we decided to use SunPower! We are saving money plus I feel we are helping the environment too! We like the way they look as a plus. And the really great thing is that it didn’t cost us 1 cent!

In part, our decision was based on reducing the impact our all-electric home imposes on the environment. Since the power we draw from the grid is virtually all derived from hydroelectric sources, the reduced load we put on the grid is more modest that if our utility relied on fossil fuels. But we hope to set an example for others. Likewise we are interested in energy storage, as the costs decline and these systems improve.

We wanted to save money. I found that owning was better than renting. It adds to the value when you sell but takes away value when you rent. The service and people couldn't have been better. They explained everything and we asked tons of questions. Helped finance for a year with no interest if paid by period ending. They are a great company and we couldn't be happier with our choice.

SunPower works as intended and I'm pretty happy with them. The customer service and installation were easy and everything was on schedule. The installation went very smoothly and the system was within the price range that I expected it to be.

I was all set to go with another solar provider. Then a buddy of my friend's daughter needed some repair with the solar. Not only did Todays Energy Store go out and do the repair, but they also put the solar in at the Father's house so good reports. I had them come out and their proposal, warranty, and the actual panels themselves seemed better than the competitor that I was getting ready to go. They showed me the difference between theirs versus somebody else's, and all that was good.

We built a new house. With the environmental impact and with the incentive programs that are going on in Illinois, the Illinois Shines Program, it makes it pretty much a no-brainer to go solar. The install process with SunPower was relatively easy. Certasun is a great organization to work with. They walked us through the whole process and they did all the paperwork and the complexities involved with the rebates and their equipment and warranty. Their work was fantastic. There was another set of neighbors in our neighborhood that got solar done by another company and they were already having problems with the panels fogging. So it was a night-and-day difference with SunPower with the equipment they used and their warranty.

I went with SunPower after reading about the company and the product. It had a lot of good reviews and ratings, and I liked the warranty and that they service it. The guy I talked to also said it was made in America. The installation went fine except the guy at the end didn't really make it clear to me that even though it was installed, we weren't connected with PG&E. I was still getting charged from PG&E even though I had the solar on my roof. That was not really communicated to me. So after it was installed, I'm thinking we're good to go here. I'm running my air conditioner more than I normally would have. And then a couple of weeks, I get a thing from PG&E saying I need to do this final step before it's all official. So, I wish that had been communicated to me better.

I finally decided to get SunPower. It took them about six hours to install the system and their customer service was very good. I have been very satisfied with the work that they have done and the way the unit works. It hasn't cost me a penny on electricity in a year and a half.

SunPower has been great. I've been looking into solar energy for quite some time. Then I ran across the company that's sold the product, SolarTech. And just talking to them, I liked what they were talking about and I made my decision. I researched quite a few. SolarTech came out and gave us an estimate. We did most of it over the phone and then they finally came out and did the schematic, and then we agreed on it, and they installed it.

This problem was resolved. Thank you Jay **. Apology for the late response on this website.

I debated for a long time whether to get solar power from my house. My first looked, it was going to take a great deal of space in my garage just for the battery packs. Many years later the second company was just a small box in the garage, but I still wasn’t ready. Then here comes SunPower! No converter boxes in the garage! Each panel has its own converter! The installation went almost exactly as planned. I couldn’t be happier. Just got my first electric bill and SURPRISE, 0 due. That alone was a savings of $192.00 per month! I am so happy. I love being able to look up the energy being created at any time on my iPhone. I’m so glad I waited for the right company!

We were afraid to turn on our air conditioning during the hot summer days because each time we did, we would get a really high bill, so we suffered. We finally decided to go solar and install a system that would allow us to be comfortable without that constant feeling that we were going to get a whopping bill electric bill. After a year, we are VERY pleased. Sunpower/Solar Tech employees worked with us to assure our system would meet our needs and based on our one year electric bill of $4.90, they did an excellent job. Everyone was very professional, they explained each step of the process. We are very pleased with our decision! They even helped us with forms for rebates and explained the tax credit.

I went to solar to save money and potentially raise the value of my house even higher if I decided to sell. Also take advantage of the rebates that are being given by the federal and state gov't to help with the cost of installation..

If you can save money while you reduce your reliance on fossil fuels, why wouldn't you do it? Solar power is not a thing of the future; it's here now, and I wanted to take advantage of it. The specs on these particular solar panels are better than the competitors I looked at. I just got my 1st electricity bill and it was for six dollars!

This is my 2nd SunPower system (MA and TX). Like the efficiency of the panels and warranty. Solar is the right way to minimize our carbon footprint, independent of cost savings. Distributed microinverters is most reliable implementation for residential solar, eliminates single point failure of high power inverters.

I wanted solar panels to help me save money in the long run. Here in the Arizona desert it gets hot and power bills are through the roof. The whole process from the phone call for information, to the estimate, filling out forms, installation and start up went smoothly and everyone at SunPower by Esmay Electric were professional, friendly and extremely helpful. I highly recommend this company. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and the solar panels look great.

i wanted to save money ....my house is all electric and heating cost in the winter was too much. With solar I spend about $1000 less a year on my utility bill. I had 3 different solar companies give me quotes and Sun Power was the best deal with what I think the best product.

Love Going green and saving $. Finally have the money to make the transition to solar. Always wanted to switch. Now I have. Sending electricity to the electric company is so satisfying. Glad I made the transition. Take that SDG&E.

We decided to go to solar to have a back-up source of energy (Tesla batteries), to help protect the environment, and to save money in the long run. The experience of purchase and installation was seamless. We are very happy with our decision to move to solar and to have used SunPower.

I heard about SunPower at a home show in Bullhead City and I was thinking about it. I decided to look into them and they sounded good, which was why I went with them. Both the sales rep and the enrollment process were great and it took less than a month for everything. Since I put the solar on, I haven't had an electric bill.

I went solar because I have a Tesla and I wanted to lower my electric bill since I have an electric car now. I also wanted to help the environment by producing clean energy. Joe ** was fantastic and I will be recommending him and SunPower to my friends.

Great warranty and easy to navigate app. I decided to get solar for both environmental reasons and for cost savings. We live in a sunny area with little to no shading on our roof. Recently we installed central AC and wanted to offset the electricity costs with solar.

The year anniversary report on our solar array told us that we exceeded the projected amount of energy produced over the year even though we lost a month and a half when the system went down because a faulty jaw in the wiring apparatus in the solar box by the meters had burned out. So we are looking forward to seeing how the system performs during the next uninterrupted (hopefully) year.

Great way to manage electrical consumption as well as protect from constantly rising electrical rates connected to fossil fuel prices although low now will go up. The big plus is limiting carbon gases overall. I also like contributing to the Hawaii state goal of being energy self sufficient. The system with the Tesla battery keeps me from suffering the constant electrical outages here on Kauai. We had a two hour outage and we did not even notice it until the app notified us one had happened and we confirmed it on the power coops website.

I believe in encouraging the use of clean power and help to reduce my carbon footprint and global warming...I'm looking forward to the release of your storage batteries, hopefully this fall, and becoming electricity "independent"....The panels look great and I love to see my PG&E meter going backwards during the day.

I have wanted to go solar for years because I believe in having a smaller carbon footprint. I also believe that solar is the energy of the future. It is cheaper, cleaner and more efficient than what we presently have.

Decided to go solar for the environment and long term energy savings. It is a great product with an awesome app you can use to track your usage and production at a granular level. The overall install process and post install communication was really good.

Doing something to improve the environment while Saving $$$ on energy bills and getting a tax credit bonus! I shopped around the ESA Solar Energy LLC and Sunpower product cannot be beat for value and easy of doing business. I highly recommend their service and product.

We have wanted to go solar for a long time and finally did after the power outages of last summer. A friend who has solar had far fewer problems than we did. We also wanted to do it for both environmental and financial reasons. What clinched the deal was the salesman who informed us of Sun Power's excellent ratings and history.

We went solar to have control over future power costs and to provide battery backup with power outages and to do our part for the environment. Solar Tech was very responsive, Kenan was super! A bit of confusion over the plans since we wanted a sub-panel installed in the garage for future electric appliances. Solar Tech underbid the job so we ended up paying a bit more for the work so make sure if you are having them do any other work to make sure it is a rock solid bid. With all the COVID issues, Solar Tech pushed on and finally got our project finished. Thanks Kenan!

Wanted solar to save some money and also lower our fossil fuel consumption. Team was excellent in every possible way. Sales, install, schedule were all pros and I feel great having the system in and complete. Thanks!! I have already told two others about the great company you have.

We thought about solar for years; Kody from Ambrose Solar took us through the entire process. We did it and have been very happy watching our usage. We even received a refund from PGE at year end. We highly recommend!

The warranty was better than most others. The quality of the panels and the micro inverters were one of the main reason I chose them. Overall, from the initial consultation, to the installation and final inspection, the process was professional and easy. The benefit of having solar and not have to worry about your monthly electric bill is great.

My primary reason for going solar was environmental. Grandkids make you think of the future. This is one way to make the world a little better for them and instill stewardship in them. I look at the CO2 saved just as much as the money saved. The money saved is great, my system delivered 100% of our electric demand just as Jonathan said it would. Love that lower energy bill. The 25 year warranty for the entire system gives me peace of mind. Great experience with AEC and I would strongly recommend them to anyone interested in going solar.

Panels are great. No issues, the power company actually paid me last month. There is no reason not to get these. My neighbors have other brand panels and they do not produce to the same level as my panels. Plus, these panels look great on my house. I produce more power than I use year over year.

I went online looking up different solar companies and the first people that I called said that they would come out. But they didn’t show up and they didn’t call me. The next one that I called was SunPower and they were very professional and had a good star rating. I was very impressed with the representative and that they guaranty their panels. They didn't subcontract out for each little part of it. The representative who came out was awesome, made me feel comfortable, very well-mannered and knowledgeable. The whole thing was great and I wouldn't have gone with anybody else after that. Since going solar, I have peace of mind and knowing that it's an investment, at some point when they're paid off, I won't have a bill at all.

I had some experience with SunPower in the past installing solar at 15 of our schools here in town so I was aware that's who I wanted to go with. Then, I looked for the local distributor for them. The panels are as I expected them to be, which is better than anyone else’s. Before getting into a contract, you should do your research and get references, if you can, from neighbors or friends that have utilized contractors. There are some people out there that are not doing great work and they're not using very good panels. You need to get it done because you're gonna save a lot of energy and reduce your carbon footprints and emissions. The tax credit was not a bad thing either and that's gonna go away shortly in 2022. I’m ecstatic and happy. I just had my trip at the end of May and I don't owe a dime.

We went with SunPower because they had the highest rating for quality and performance and due to the limited area on our roof, their higher efficiency panels worked perfectly. We were a little nervous when the panels started producing 28% less energy than they should have produced, but after some time, SunPower stood behind their products and replaced 21 of the 25 defective microinverters and even though payment for lost power is not covered under the warranty, they came through and compensated us above and beyond what we were asking! Very impressive! So far they have proven that they do stand behind their products.

When I purchased my unit out of four companies called only one responded. Turns out that they were the most professional and the cleanest. I have only had one problem with the system and it was not part of the solar unit. It was a telemetry unit and it was replaced, no cost, no problem.

Enrolling with SunPower was fine and the installation was quick. They did a good job and explained everything to me. My panels get dirty pretty quick, but that's the environment I live in Southern California. Other than that, everything's fine. I haven't received the final bill for the year but I'm happy to have SunPower.

I decided to go to solar because my monthly electric bill would reach over 600 dollars and now my bill has effectively become zero. I actually send more power back than I use, so I have the ability to handle more electric loads in the future such as electric cars or a shop on my property.

The installers were quick, they were professional and friendly. I had some issues and questions along the way, of which SunPower and their install company Streamline was fast and efficient in getting everything resolved. I have had my system for 3-plus years and am very happy with it. My end result in dealing with SunPower not only met my expectations, they far exceeded them. Great company, great value.

April 21st, I began the process of installation and given a project coordinator to make it happen. He said the permitting stage would take 2-3 weeks. I continue to ask him by email about progress but never get meaningful replies if he responds at all, which is seldom. I've tried calling, but he never answers the phone and never calls back. If it this hard to get a response from them before you pay, I'm having thoughts of not proceeding at all. No one needs this kind of frustration.

We went solar as an investment in the house that would make it an easier sale in the future. We were extremely pleased with the install process and followup by Seabright Solar in Redlands. We are very happy with Sunpower panels and look forward to lower electric bills in the coming months. Would highly recommend Sunpower and Seabright to other customers.

I wanted to decrease my electric bill. It was getting high in the summer months. So I decided to go solar. I looked at the degradation rates of different providers, and SunPower came on top. I talked to them and they gave me a competitive quote and I just went with them. The process was very easy. There were no issues at all. They gave me an estimate and all of the timelines. The second step was they called us, scheduled the installation and they came and installed it. They called to schedule an inspection from the city and the electric company and it was turned on. So far, so good. I feel good about it.

To help environment and reduce my electricity bill decided to go with Solar. I shopped with 3 different vendors and Sun Power gave me a good deal and estimated correct number of panels. The start to end process took just under 7 weeks.

I decided to go solar to go green. I also decided that I wouldn't suffer in the heat as much and I would be able to run a/c responsibly. I took advantage of the expiring solar credit. I am very pleased with the company. The whole process went smoothly. I'd highly recommend them (Sunpower) to anyone. Although I only needed a smaller system, the power production met expectations and I am very pleased.

I would like to submit a complaint, I have had one of the worst customer experiences I have ever had dealing with Sunpower Solar to transfer the lease for the sale of my home. I had to call several times and spend hours on hold to get the lease transfer documents in the first place (I was repeatedly lied to and told I would receive the docs by X date, then nothing would happen and I would have to call again). Finally, once we signed and sent everything in, Sunpower promised to get the documents in today so we could close on time. Now Sunpower missed yet another deadline with no contact or any information whatsoever. I paid $300 for this solar lease transfer and want a refund, and if the home sale runs into any issues, I am going to hold Sunpower legally responsible for my losses.

Added 4 panels to existing system.. Bought from same company as before Solar Liberty out of Buffalo NY.. Great company to do business with. Fast service for to deal with this virus going around and everybody shut down. Adding a hot tub to house so that's what the extra panels are for.

We went solar to save on our electric bill. We central air, a large swimming pool, a number of refrigerators and freezers we had a substantial electric bill. With the Sunpower system we saved more than one third on our bill. The system was installed in two days and has been running great since then.

Super straightforward. No bells or whistles. Very clear transparent transaction. Sales rep Kenny was extremely knowledgeable. Received my rebate the next year. Kenny is always super responsive to my calls and emails. Sunpower is good stuff. The quality of the install and equipment is good.

Energy Concepts is a great company. Very happy with my SunPower system. Only thing I would like to see change is the online tool for tracking use and production. Seems like everyone I know has their "True Up" in March. Why not give me the ability to track my yearly totals from the true update. Totals should just start over at true update not January.

Did a lot of investigating. Wanted the best panels for the money and reliability and output of the panels. Also wanted a good quick installation of the system from start to finish. It only took three weeks from procurement of permit to the final inspection.

We decided to go solar to save money. I no longer fret about my PGE bill. I still don’t leave lights on because it is a habit. And I stay within the 4-9 hour time slot with not doing laundry or running the dishwasher. I load the dishwasher, put the detergent in and wait till morning to run it. I do the same with the washing machine.

We added solar to help the environment along with lowering our electric bill, allowing us to use the AC more frequently. We are extremely happy with the entire Sun Power Solar Team, from start to end. Everything was efficient and of the highest quality!

Financing was easy and straightforward. Installation and hook up went smoothly. Good explanation of how the system works. System has been working as advertised and I know who to contact if there are problems. So far very happy.

1) Save money, 2) help with the environment. I have been very pleased with SunPower and SavKat. I am excited to have Solar Panels. I have seen an impact already. I find that I watch the monitor app and see when my usage is high. I am now monitoring my use of Air Conditioner, Fan and de-humidifier.

The cost of energy in New York supplied by Con Edison is outrageous. With the economy uncertain and food prices escalating I am happy I went Solar. You did a great job of installation and had an electrician installed a new panel.

I've had EM Power Solar install two systems on my house about 10 years apart. They are an outstanding contractor that I completely trust, do professional work, pricing is very competitive and customer service is the best. I wanted a carbon neutral house and solar had to be a huge component to get me there, I'm glad I found EM Power to help me along the way.

I chose solar to save money. Sean was the consummate professional from our first conversation, throughout the finance and construction phase, and even after the system went on-line. I strongly encourage that anyone interested in solar look into Sunpower by QHS and ask for Sean.

My wife and I were excited to get an email from the Sierra Club endorsing SunPower. We are retired and thought this to be our way to help the environment. We started the process in mid March when we met with Freedom Solar representatives and received a proposal. Within two weeks we signed a contract and became active mid May. The actual installation of the solar panels took an afternoon-we were impressed with the organization and efficiency of the install team. All permits were handled by Freedom Solar and we were kept informed of progress.

To save money and the environment. Very pleased with the installation. Only wished that we would have put in a few more panels as our true up was $104.00. Not bad as we did add a Lap Pool which uses elect.

I bought solar panels to increase distributed, renewable power generation in my community primarily. Due to Federal and State rebates and incentives, and my plan to stay in my house for over 10 years (loan agreement), it made sense to buy them vs lease, as my electric bill would be replaced by a solar loan payment (I used to pay about $150/month, with MA's SMART program incentive that pays for electric generation, my average loan payment is $150/month). I also liked SunPower's 25 year warranty, and high efficiency. Their app is very easy to use as well, and I check it frequently. I'd suggest starting the solar process in November/December, as it can take 3-6 months before you're connected and running due to scheduling, town and utility inspections. If sized correctly, you can produce more than you use starting in March through September, maybe October.

I decided to lower my bill and do something good for the environment. I think I achieved both with Sun Power and they made it so easy to get it done. I recommend them to anyone thinking of going solar.

Thanks for the great job you guys did, especially our sales rep, Grayson **. We wouldn’t have pulled the plug without his honest and straightforward way of doing business. We are enjoying a nice “cool” Bakersfield summer. Expectations fully met.

The local guys - from sales to install to customer support have been great and very responsive. I would definitely recommend to others. The savings on my electric bill is the icing on the cake! Very happy I did it and would do it again.

I'm very happy with my decision to go solar. The enrollment at SunPower was fairly easy, except for writing the check. The salesman was very nice, very friendly, made several house calls to explain things to me and was involved all the way through the process. I like the phone app too. I like to look and see how I'm doing, although, half of the time, it doesn’t work.

SunPower was a referral from a friend. So, I looked for various installers and decided that was the best approach. Their customer service was excellent. They made all commitments and followed through. The installation went flawlessly and was in coordination with the roofer. So, they worked together. I had no problems with them till the job was finished at the time that they promised. The electric bill is less now. I was very satisfied with my decision to go solar. I’d be happy to recommend SunPower.

We wanted to get our bill lowered. One of our friends recommended SunPower. The enrollment process went well. The representative who came out was awesome and thorough. The installation was done in a day. They had to upgrade our panel, which went smoothly. Now, it's definitely covering all of our electrical uses. It's doing well.

In the year we lived in our house, the system of SunPower worked fine. Then we got a problem, they came out and fixed the problem that the other solar company had. The reps did their job and there were no problems during the enrollment process. They did a good job. I’m selling the house and I’m currently in Texas. I’d use them down here in Texas if they were here but they’re not.

I was pretty satisfied with my decision to go solar. SunPower seems more reputable compared to other companies. Their enrollment process was pretty easy. I had a great experience with their rep. He was very knowledgeable. The installation was two days. They were pretty fast, and then pretty good about cleaning up too. Their website is nice. I wish there was more information like how much the individual panels are and what they're doing though. But I like that I can check my usage and what I'm producing.

I thought going solar was a good idea. From start to finish, installation by SunPower took three months. They had to do the roof first and then install brackets and then install the panels and then the rest was wiring. I like not having a monthly bill and doing the right thing to help conserve pollution that’s going into the air when they make energy. I don’t have an electric bill for some months, I just have to pay for the panels.

The issue was finally resolved. The installer came out again and checked the physical connections and out and redid the connections. The system has been running since then. So from an equipment standpoint, they seem to work as advertised. I am still out a month and a half of power generation and do not like that monitoring is not active/alerting vs passive checking. That being said the issue as it applied to me was an installation failure, not a hardware failure. I will update my star rating to 2.5/3. Still not happy with the support of the product.

SunPower said it was a free estimate on our company's website so I put my information and Thompson and Son Energy contacted me as an accredited dealer of SunPower. I liked their panels and all their energy things. They were also very thorough in explaining the federal tax credit and the Duke Energy rebate. They were also giving $1,000 rebate which I didn’t receive yet. It said that the SunPower representative gonna take care of it, but I really couldn't find the information to get my rebate through my company.

SunPower did work at my church. It was a big installation, and many of the congregants then used them and all I heard were favorable things about them. So I went with them and they told me that they use SunPower panels and they were the best. The installation was very good. The actual work didn’t take long. The whole process took a while because it was during the virus time, so everything had to kinda wait. It was not a fault of the installation company.

Enrolling with SunPower was smooth and easy. Their rep, Dave, was excellent. He’s a pleasure to deal with. I would tell others to call Dave. The installation was smooth and easy, too. Since having SunPower, my power bill has gone down.

I purchased SunPower solar panels back in 2011 through a different solar company in Castro Valley. I purchased 24 panels then and recently purchased another 24 panels. A rep was set up at the hardware store near my house and I just happened to walk past her. It ended up being they can get me in with zero money down for $120 a month. The financing made it affordable for me to get into it again.

The rep of SunPower was very nice. He was very knowledgeable, not pushy, which I’d have walked away if he would have been, and very upfront on everything. I was very impressed with the way he handled stuff. As far as I’m concerned, everything was done really well. It hit at a bad time with this virus going around. But otherwise, they handled everything very well. Esmay Electric, the gentleman that came out and measured the roof was the boss himself, and he took his time. And I was very happy with him. So, we’re happy with it from what we’ve seen, so far.

We have been wanting to move more "off grid" while helping the environment. We like checking the phone app daily to see stats on how we are doing. It's so exciting to see results on graphs and charts, along with seeing our lifetime savings going up!

I decided to look into solar energy because my neighbor across the street was happy with his decision. I got the newer version so I'm better. Another reason I picked SunPower in addition to my neighbor was that they got the best reviews, and for the price, it looked like it was gonna be good. So far, I'm very satisfied. It's producing more than I'm using. But it's under special circumstances. My wife has been in the hospital almost since we've had it installed. It got activated March 2nd and she went in the hospital before that. So the dog and I had been home and there hasn't been a whole lot of using it. But we're happy. The sales rep was great too and the people who installed it from Cool Blew were great also.

I’ve wanted to go solar for quite some time but I live in a condo, and you have to have the permission of your roof-mate. Mine wouldn’t give one so I couldn’t do it. Then, when SunPower called, they said their banking system was different and they would allow it. So, I told them to come right out and look at it. The reps contacted me to be sure that the electric company had finalized everything and got it up and running. I’ve had solar for over a year and I love that I decided to do it. People should get solar and talk to SunPower. I’m very satisfied.

The installation of my SunPower went very nice. It didn’t take them very long. The installers were very helpful. They came back and explained stuff when I didn’t understand again. So, it was good. This is the second time I went solar. I had one two years ago at my other house. And then, we decided to move, so I called them back again.

Saving money on my electricity bill. Also help to to save the environmental of the community. This panels really help to to improve the usage of electricity. Also give more value to your home. I will recommend this to more people.

Solar made a lot of sense for our family. The SunPower system is great and the install went very smooth. I like how low profile the install was. It also has exceeded our expectation for power generation. Hopefully someday soon we will upgrade to a battery storage to fully take advantage of our power generation. Thanks!

We chose solar for environmental and cost saving reasons. Long term we believe that cost of electricity will climb at an increasing rate and reliable, dependable solar would help offset. SunPower quality after 1yr has delivered on every claim. Our first year has resulted in no electrical cost at all. We used less electricity than we produced without ever changing our usage habits. Our breakeven solar cost will be easily realized within 7yrs.

I was set on Going solar to save money and do something good environmentally when I bought my house. I searched for a good company and I’m so pleased with SunPower. I’m happy I shopped around! They’re the best!

Everything is working out great with SunPower. Their sales rep was fantastic. I wish it was cheaper though, but there’s nothing I can do about that.

Save money, take advantage of our sunshine, protect environment. Professional service technicians, rep. Chad very knowledge. Neat and clean install, timely as project progressed & respectful of surrounding area of house.

The product and its output have fully met our expectations. Our local support from Green Logic has been excellent. I would suggest some tuning of the app. I access information from my iPad. There are a couple of tweaks that could significantly improve it. Initial response is slow and to trigger a response I need to drop down the menu and switch to graphs. Date selection on the graphs is poorly designed and not as intuitive as I'd like. Overall, general satisfaction with SunPower.

My bill was too high so I got solar. Love AES solar company. They did everything. They said that they were going to do my bill. Never changes and I don’t get those random high Bills anymore. I would recommend a friend.

With 6 children my electric bills were extremely high. After researching several companies, I determined SunPower through Certa Sun had the best product at the best rates, and saw an immediate reduction of our entire supply charge to ComEd.

Love the system so far and don't see any issues coming. Great team, organized, great communication! I look forward in seeing how it does over the next many years. Panels are not an eyesore or do they take away from the look of the house. The online access is nice, could give more info, but tells me how things are going. Wonder if there is a way to monitor each panel to assure energy production.

I hired Oak Electric to upgrade a 12-year-old system. I first went with solar to have a back-up, as my power source is quite unreliable. I was also eager to support renewable energy efforts as a conservation effort. The system works beautifully. I've had one short power outage since it was installed, and everything operated just as I had hoped. I have not been able to get onto the Tesla system to set my preferred usage mode, but SunPower's on-line monitoring system is excellent.

I'm a very happy customer. Consultation, installation, and approval went smoothly. The system has been running several months now and I already see the savings. I should've done this years ago. I chose Sunpower because they had a good plan with efficient panels and good reputation. I highly recommend them.

To save money, help the environment, reduce our environmental foot print.. The Sunpower experience was very pleasing. Everything was done on time and to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Sunpower to anyone considering switching to Solar Power. Our costs for power has reduced substantially.

Hedging future electric expenses. Process was efficient and timely from beginning to end. We are satisfied after a full year or owning the product. Should we have any issues, they are immediately addressed. Furthermore if there were other issues that I was aware of, they called me to let me know. Thank you.

I have had an issue with my system since April 10th... I have called and left messages with no returned calls, called and waiting on hold 15-20 off and on... then be told someone would be out 7-10 days to look at my system... a man showed up there maybe 5-10 minutes... looks like he had turned the power off at the panel to reset it it which I Already. This is my second time waiting on hold, telling my story and now waiting 7-10 days again to have a tech out... beginning to think I went with the wrong solar company.

Help the environment--we were low electricity users already, so we weren't doing it for the economics. But we were planning on getting an electric car and installing PV seemed a good idea for lowering our carbon footprint. Our experience with SunPower was terrific--they made a clear proposal, went over all the details, answered all our questions, and the installation went smoothly. We've had the 8 panels for just over a year, and have produced slightly more electricity than we consumed in the household plus our electric car--just as predicted!

We wanted to set ourselves up so that when we retire our monthly operating costs are minimal and that is why we invested in Solar now -- that way the system is paid-off and our electric energy is FREE or next to free each year. We live in Central California where the summers are brutal and brutal power bills coincide with the brutal summer heat. Add a pool pump to that and power bills get outrageous quite quickly.

I have had your support people out to my house twice to improve my solar panel monitoring and as of yet it is still not reporting the results it showed the first year. I am being told that it is a hardware problem on site and both times the reporting system has not improved. I further believe it is a software problem that your organization does not know how to address. Last year during sunny days I was monitoring energy production of two to three hundred percent over used energy. This year I am lucky is I hit one hundred fifty percent over usage. Plus I am not using any increased energy versus one year ago. But you have all these statistics on your site that is one reason. I think it is a software problem you refuse to address.

We installed solar panels in order to save money on the electrical bill and help the environment that we live in. It is only 2 months that we had them installed but we can see already that our choice was wise and correct.

My motivation to go Solar was to cut down electricity charges in long run, and also to go green. I would say my sales rep Josh ** did a good job explaining the product. Sunpower solar cells also have good aesthetics. And lastly, I gave priority to the high efficiency solar panels that Sunpower has.

We made the decision to go solar shortly after we bought our house. Between the summer heat and someone always being home with the AC on and the pool pumps our PGE bill easily came in much higher than we expected. After we did the math the 3 months of summer with PGE, would have paid for an entire year of solar payments. We went with Sun Power because the reviews were great and the product was great. Now we just have a solar payment which is much cheaper. The app is great were super happy with how everything came and works.

Great for environment and good savings. All usages can be monitored online in real time. Online tool is cool, which includes lots of tracking activities and data. Solar saves me about $2 a day. That is about $60 a month. During a sunny day, the system produces 2-4 times than my daily usage. This extra will cover on raining or cloudy days. On average, solar system produces enough energy or more than actual usage.

Luminalt came out and explained everything. They were like the central driving people, so I didn’t have to do anything. Then the crew showed up and put everything in within a couple of days. Something went wrong and they came back and fixed it right away. I haven’t had any trouble since then. I ended up financing them just because it was so expensive. But I then refinanced because I knew the payment was gonna go up. I also refinanced the house and just paid off the financing. I’m still gonna recoup what I’m doing within like five years.

I have chosen Sun Power because each solar panel is classified as high efficiency (20%+) and it means that the total number of solar panels will be smaller. Normally solar panel vendor will jack up their price if it comes with financing option and I just went out and got a very low interest solar loan from a local credit union. Overall I am happy with what I have and I hope more people here in Colorado will take advantage of the number of days we have sun here (almost every day except when we have snow during the winter time).

Updated on 05/20/2020: In addition after writing this original Consumer Affairs review, received an email saying they would follow up and again have not. I cannot believe the lack of integrity of this company!

Everything was fantastic from the salesman to the install. I had some minor monitoring issues when it was 1st turned on. That took a couple months to resolve but in the end it is fantastic. I dealt with about 5 people there. All were great except 1. She was an absolute **. But there is always someone. I won't let her take away from the work of the rest.

After researching the various panels, though SunPower is more expensive than everybody else, they have good quality. Each of their panels has its own converter rather than having one converter that everything feeds into and that burns out every five years and you have to pay $2,000 to replace it. It would probably end up costing more than what we paid to begin with. With SunPower, if a converter goes out on a panel, they just replace that panel and it's covered for the life of the product. So it was worth the extra cost. It was a big investment, so we wanted to get everything we could out of it. Also, SunPower is a US company and all that good stuff.

This company is unique in its options that it offers customers and the quality of its products. I can't say enough about the difference of working with this company vs Solar City for example. I also appreciated that the price was worth it even though it was a bit higher.

I like to invest my money in something that I feel like was obviously gonna be worthwhile. It doesn’t have to be an immediate return. It can be down the road. Going solar is something that I would like to do with the resources I have available to me. Also, my house is more of a eco-house, and so it seem like it fits in well into the design of the house, and for resell value, it's tied perfectly into that. A family friend that I interacted with told me about what Freedom Solar was about. So, I set up an appointment and it went from there.

I unfortunately bought a house which came with a Sunpower lease. I didn't quite realize at the time how toxic solar leases are and you begin to wonder how they can they possibly be legally binding. To make my story short, I discovered the inverter was routinely faulting on cloudy days and outputting excessive DC voltage/current fault messages (according to the manual you are supposed to disconnect the unit immediately and call for service). Despite Sunpower having complete logs of the inverter, they never once contacted me about the faults. It was only by chance that I discovered these fire hazardous faults while in the garage.

The SunPower panels were just a little bit better than the competitor panels as far as the output and extended output. I wanted the best that I could put up there. Hopefully I would be using them for a long time. California Solar did the installation and I'm really glad that we did it. I can produce my own electricity for my plug-in Prius Prime in all of my local driving. Everything local that I do ends up being my own electricity, so I'm very happy about that.

Going solar was the way for the future and it was a long-term investment. I own my system and New Jersey is very lucrative as far as the SRECs go. With SunPower, I didn’t feel like they pushed the sale for me and they made sure that I understood everything as opposed to just getting me to sign on the dotted line. The original offer they came with a 20-year loan and it wasn’t something I really wanted. I wanted a 10-year but I worked with them.

I called SunPower and met up with Ali. Ali took good care of me, explained my options to me and the process was pretty quick. With SunPower we can save on electrical cost. I am not to be worried about the lights staying on, AC, heating. I got about 3,000 square feet so I use quite a bit of electricity. We can also do a little bit for the environment. And pat of the benefits--you would definitely see your electrical bill go down.

A couple of neighbors set up some solar panels and talking to them the finances seem to work in terms of the monthly payments and what I was paying on my energy bills. I reached out to Freedom Solar from the website, and a sales rep came and talked to us about it. Then after that, Freedom took over as far as getting HOA approval and getting inspections from the city. I didn't have to do anything with my current energy company.

I wanted a one-stop shop so I picked SunPower over the others because they make the panels and all the different pieces of equipment that go on the roof. They worked with the units. All of the equipment is made and serviced by them. It's much better in the long run to have a company that’s like that and I have a really good response from my friends who have equipment on how SunPower performed in the future as far as repairs and upkeep.

Being good for the environment and good for the pocketbook, we opted to go solar. We’ve had SunPower for well over a year now and it's been all good quality-wise.

I did a bunch of research and I found out that SunPower had some of the more efficient panels as opposed to the LG that I was supposed to get. That's what my company uses because we try to use the best equipment and the best materials out there. Also, I got a quote from another company and it was $30,000 more for the installation than SunPower. I work for Encon, the company that installed the panels. I didn't even think to get a price from them because typically, we're pretty expensive and we work on all high-end homes. I didn't think I would able to afford it. But for whatever reason, it was way cheaper than the other company.

I decided to go solar to lower my electric bill and get the government tax incentive. I am very happy with my solar! I am having it put on my other house! I would recommend it to anyone! Joe and his team are great to work with!

After paying PG&E hundreds and hundreds of dollars, we decided to go solar. SunPower is highly recommended. It was relatively easy signing up with them. We were kinda taking our time and looking at it under the surface but once the ball was rolling, it went pretty quickly. For the installation, their own people put the panels up and that went smoothly. It was up so quickly that I was like, “Wow.” They were efficient and it took them about four hours to put up 24 panels. We've been producing energy since February and I love it. I'm giving PG&E the minimum amount of money and very low at best. It’s been going well.

I was doing research online and I had found out about the SunPower program within the New York State. The enrollment process was very professional and easy. They took care of everything for me. There was no hassle on my part at all. They did all the permit filing and did all the paperwork. It was great. I've had my panels for 18 months now. I just can't strongly recommend SunPower enough. It’s the best thing. Not having an electric bill and just having to pay the lease amount is awesome. Knowing it’s going to be the same for the next 20 years is just incredible.

I decided to go solar to minimize my reliance on SDG&E and get my energy from cleaner sources. The sales process with SunPower's partner was great! The salesperson was very knowledgable and made me feel confident in my choice. In my research, Sunpower was one of the top 3 vendors I wanted to go with. It was not the least expensive, but their total package of product quality, warranty, and service was what made me ultimately decide. The installation project process was not great though. Lack of communication and poor expectation setting. Furthermore, options of configuration were not provided and we had to settle with what the company drew up with minimal input from me. Mixed feelings about Sunpower and its partners.

We needed a new roof. The roofing guy works a lot with SunPower. I talked to SunPower and we decided to get the system. My overall cost went way up but I got the 30% credit going in a new roof and I got the solar system. It’s a pretty good deal. It took two days to install the roof and then two days to put the panels on. Then it took about three weeks before PG&E okayed to turn the system on. My system is really large and it's pretty neat. I’ve only had two days so far where I haven’t produced well and above what I’m using.

I already had solar on a previous house. So, from that perspective, there was no sale necessarily involved. When we moved houses, we already had a spreadsheet put together, in terms of getting the numbers and compare. So, that way then I can do an apples to apples comparison versus, "Hey, company A is telling me this. Company B is telling me that, and it's $10,000 cheaper for that company. I'll go with that company B." I tried to be very even keeled without showing any favoritism towards one particular company. But in the end, SunPower really came through and showed the value proposition the best. I liked the overall perspective that I got both from the initial sales consultation and the knowledge level of the sales consultant.

Many in our neighborhood had solar. My son put solar on his house and was very pleased with the result. The salesperson was convincing, contracting process easy, installation timely and efficient and the system works very well. The system produced more in the first year than predicted. It does better than expected on cloudy days.

I was new in the market to figure what is good and what is not. I had more than two people coming to my house and explaining how solar works and how everything does. They were promising how this would work out this way about the energy company and what benefit they would be giving. The two important facts for me were the cost and the clear communication or the visibility into it. Because I, myself, is an engineer, I’m curious what are the inside components and how does it work. Solar Concepts' Rob, who was my sales guy, came to my house and that was how I got introduced to SunPower. I also went through my employer’s PerkSpot site and there also I found the rebate program which SunPower is driving. Rob explained everything that it wouldn't mean that it will go off the grid, what are the limitations, what are the ways to maximum utilization of the solar. I felt that this would be the company that I wanted to go with.

36 panels each 400 watts with individual inverters. 25 year warranty was very important. Preparing for retirement cash flow. Scott ** did an amazing job. Everything he said would happen did happen. Excellent customer service. I'm producing exactly as projected and more than I'm using. I will highly recommend SunPower.

I googled about solar for the past two years and I got a quote from a couple of companies. I found that SunPower was a little expensive but I still wanted to have the warranty that they were offering. I went with them for two things. One, they were offering 25 years of service warranty and two, I like that SunPower is also the manufacturer of the panel versus the competitors. They have panels from LG, Samsung or Mitsubishi and modeling from something. SunPower, on the other hand, has panels, a modeling system, and everything to one company one warranty.

We decided to go solar to save money on our energy bills. Not only has our monthly cost been reduced, the overall experience from webinar info to installation, to inspections and completion went smoothly and professionally. Highly recommend SunPower Solar.

I was a building contractor my whole working life and was curious about solar for a long time. So, I decided to find out more about it and to go ahead with the installation. I wasn't sure that it made economic sense for us, but felt we should give it a try. Still not sure about the economics, but am very glad we did it. We're very close to our first NEM true up and that's pretty exciting.

When I asked a neighbor who does solar tools, he mentioned Cosmic Solar. He said that they were reputable so I went on the internet and checked. They had 5-star reviews and I was happy with all the reviews that people were making comments that they like Cosmic on. I had Cosmic come and give an estimate. They seemed very professional so I called them. The installers were fantastic. It was raining at the time the three guys came out. I told them to just come back but they said they'd wait. They sat on my porch and waited until the rain stopped. They then came on up on the roof and worked on the installation. I’ve saved lots of money by having the solar and I’m really happy I got it.

We contacted Solar Tech, a company with SunPower at our location, which previously came out and did service for us. Anytime we called, they showed up and helped us. The SunPower part of their service was an added benefit and when we got it, it took two days to set up. My wife did not like the idea of the tech running the conduit through the roof though so we had them redo it and go outside the roof instead. They were more than willing to do that for us. They came up with ideas on how they could do it and make it look nice with the rest of the house. This has worked out really well for us.

I never thought about solar energy before and then the SunPower salesman was convincing. I liked him and I listened to him. That was all it took - the time to listen. Anybody who would listen to it would think it's a good idea. He was really good and he followed things up. And then the maintenance crew and everybody that came and installed the system were all great people. It turned out it was everything I expected. Everything has been great so far. We’re waiting to see how my first bill comes through and how it starts to affect it. I hope it will be what we thought it would be - a good idea.

I went solar primarily to get the tax credits but also as a power backup solution. SunPower panels were the best value in high efficiency panels. The Tesla solar roof looked very nice but was expensive and didn't offer me much to expand later. The Tesla PowerWall however was a better power solution than the Sunpower solution. I added a Tesla PowerWall to the solar system to give me a power backup solution. The installation experience set the Sunpower solution over and above everything else. I can't say enough about Empower, the local Sunpower installer. From start to finish they were with me all the way. The final deciding factor in choosing the solution was the support I got from Empower, the local installer.

I signed up with Sunpower. The worst nightmare I am living. I now have a system I cannot afford. The sales people are misleading. I am on a fixed income and thought this would ease my electric bills. The electric bill lowered but the solar payment is three times what my electric bill was. I cannot sell my home when people see they have an additional $380 a month bill. Stay away. These guys had me keep signing the electronic documents on a stack of tires in my garage. Remember the old saying "if it's too good to be true, it most likely is".

Went online. Studied PV systems and looked at reviews. Next I booked appt with eight solar companies. Interrogated sales representatives and decided on SunPower. Tony ** and Sunpower products are second to none. Watched the entire install and documented with photos. Asked installers numerous questions to assess their professionalism and expertise. I was impressed with the final product as were the city inspectors. I wanted a PV system for the most common reasons everybody does. I wanted the best product and people to install it. I got that with Freedom Solar and Sunpower.

I chose solar power to reduce my electricity bills. Sun Power installed their system on my home in February 2020 and my bills have indeed been reduced, but more savings are expected as spring sun exposure increases. The SunPower team handled everything from financing and installation to permits and start-up. They are experienced, efficient and friendly. I highly recommend them for future customers.

A few of my friends had installed the system and were receiving significant saving on their utility bills. On doing further research on the use of solar, I realized there was even more benefits which including saving the environment. I selected SUN POWER because of recommendations from my friends and the fact that their system was manufactured in the USA.

SunnyMac gets our highest rating from first visit from a sales person through all stages including roof and solar installations. Everyone along the way, whether physically met or just internet connected, was highly polite, knowledgeable, and helpful. We can say this was a painless process.

We went solar because of the tax incentives (credit), value for power long term, and ability to use what Mother Nature gave to us. The solar panels have a nice, sleek look and seem very good with power so far. When they were installed, it took only 6-7 hours and the group was very professional. I have only heard good things about SunPower so far, and look forward to having these panels work well for us for many years to come.

I decided to install solar panels prior to retiring. The product has been installed and connected to my energy company since Feb. 2020. I am happy with the system. The only issue was the length of time it took to get it installed. I signed my contract on August 12, 2019.

Went solar to eliminate my electricity bill and save money in the long run. SunPower was great to work with and always kept me informed as to what was going on. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to go solar.

I purchased the system to save on the increasing cost of electricity which is commercially produced by only one provider in my area. The solar system will pay for itself in about 11 years from the date of initial install. The remaining 14 years of warranted solar production made the investment worth the price.

I love SunPower and the system is great. The only problem I’m having is with my monitoring. I’m producing power but I’m not able to monitor it accurately. But other than that, I’m happy. I’m starting to produce credits and I’m gonna be getting a half-decent-sized SRECs every quarter, which I think is gonna be good. Also, we had a hailstorm and the panels are fine. They're all tempered and they're resilient and very durable.

We decide to go solar in order to help the environment and save a little money in the long run. We have two electrical cars, so the panels help in that regard as well. SunPower did a good job with the installation and the app has been a nice tool to have so that we can keep track of how our panels are operating.

I purchase the solar panels to save money on my electrical bill, go clean energy, have a tax deduction, increase the value of the house, and take advantage of the SC and Fed solar panel rebates while they still exist. I purchased the 410 AC panels to get the maximum return of energy on my electrical bill. South Coast offered the 410 AC panels cheaper than the competition was offering the 310 panels. The South Coast sales solar consultant explained the solar panels, how SC legislation takes this process serious and other pertinent information that convinced me this was a good company to purchase from.

Installing Sunpower Solar Panels was one of my home's best decisions. Yes, I save money, Yes I become energy & tax-efficient, and Yes, here in New Jersey, I didn't have to put any money down. I also add value to my investment, that will pay off when I sell the property.

We installed solar panels for environmental and energy conservation reasons: the panels provide clean, renewable energy and are extremely efficient to use. And, the electric bill was unreasonable: our heat pumps were very expensive during the winter. We can monitor the use and efficiency, what percent of energy is being generated by solar and what is either being used by or returned to the grid.

Researched for years and found the best company in the market. Saving money on my electric bill was the main reason for going solar. Sunpower has the most efficient panels and the best system warranty. Loved doing business with them. Install was excellent and professional.

My local SunPower installer in the San Bernardino, CA area was fantastic. The customer service pre-installation was excellent and the numerous calls I placed to the main sales guy were always smooth and my questions were answered quickly. The installers were courteous and the installation was done perfectly according to the city. And even post-installation follow-ups have been nice and welcomed by the Sea Bright Solar folks. On top of this, the SunPower panels are some of the best, if not the best, in the industry. So I highly recommend SunPower and especially my local authorized SunPower dealer/installer in the San Bernardino, CA area.

Wanted to save on electric bill. Did some research on value and description of owning solar panel system. Sunpower had the most efficient panels and at that time was using micro-inverters and other companies were not. I contacted the office in Henderson and made an appointment with Bill Douglas. Bill explained everything I wanted to know about Sunpower system. It impressed me that they would not have to run exposed electrical conduits on roof and the panels would be all black (without grid lines on each panel). System was installed 2 months later. Everything went smoothly. Only disappointment was they did not have all black panels, so grid line panels used.

Help the environment and reduce billing when in retirement is the main reason. Once reasonable batteries became available I elected to additional panels to ensure that the batteries will re-charge during a power failure. We chose Sunpower on the advice of our installer - Solar-Fit in Ormond Beach who as always did an outstanding job!

The panels started collecting immediately. Energy Company even came out quickly to approve. Two concerns - 1) was not told you need power for the panels to work (e.g. no power during hurricane was a big reason for buying. Battery is not worth cost.) 2) The monitoring data needed someone to come out and correct wiring - twice. Still a good value! RECOMMEND!

I asked SPWR to add to my existing solar panels. They were done in 2 hrs, very clean, now I have all the info on my screen. The new panels seem to perform somewhat better compared to the old ones, too. They have the new AC inverters readily built in which helps a lot, too.

We decided to go solar to save money and go green. Installation once we got past the utility approval part went very well. We were very pleased with our installation crew and love seeing that we our energy use go down tremendously!

I was ready to have solar power. My daughter has SunPower and I went with them too. Everything went smoothly during the enrollment process and the sales reps were good. Going solar to me just means more environmental and I'm satisfied with my decision to go that route.

We wanted to lower our energy bill. There was a door to door salesman from SunPower that came by and he handed us some leaflets on the product. We enrolled with them and the process was very good. Our interactions with their reps were also very good. They were very professional and they did a great job while they were here. They were easy to work with, too. Other than that, our house is in a great position to take advantage of the sun most of the day and all we have for an electric bill is the fee for the panels.

SunPower was very good. I read about them on the internet and it sounded like they had better products than others. Enrolling with them was easy and they installed the panels even though it was snowing, so that was great. Other than that, we really liked our saleslady, Laurie. She answered all our questions and was not pushy.

My panels have not been producing since January, therefore I have high electric bills on top of my lease. They scheduled an appointment 3 weeks out from when I called. Then they don't show up and when I called to ask why they said it was canceled. I hung up and they sent an email that the tech is sick and scheduled out again 4 weeks later, this is unacceptable and they need to send someone out ASAP!!! TERRIBLE... THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. I used have has Solar Topps but they did not renew with Sunpower because of this!!

We added solar to offset a new heating and A/C system. The installation went smoothly, but there were many issues like: inspection coordination, rebates, and most importantly the installation shut down the monitoring for a previously installed solar system. Sunpower refused to take responsibility for it until I pushed it. They finally figured out what is wrong, that they affected, but it is yet to be repaired. It is now 4 months since the installation. I was concerned the old system was deactivated. It took 4 months for them to confirm it was still on too. The customer service representatives in the office do not have good, and consistent customer service training.

Main sales points were quality (solid copper back, we're on the Gulf Coast), company size, and price. Great experience with Freedom Solar Power and SunPower panels. Installed in January and looks like they will produce their rated output come summer. The only hitch was the rush to install before the end of 2019 which they did not meet (process started in 10/2019). The various approvals and permits were also less than transparent. The FSP technical team is superb - they diagnosed a problem with the meter and a repair team was out in an hour to fix the issue (remote town 120 miles from a major city).

Not producing enough electricity. I was given an estimate that it will produce roughly 16,500 kW last month. I had a bill of $85 this month. I had built up $24. I had sent my three month electric bill to the sales person at Sunny Mac by Sunpower. It’s been two weeks and I haven’t heard anything back from him. I also want to add my outside PV to directly connected to my modem inside the basement and they said it’s not necessary. It is a simple plug that they have to wire through it and I don’t know why it can’t be done.

We got solar energy as soon as we moved in eight years ago -- as soon as I found I had a south-facing roof. And we were spurred by the phaseout of the tax credit. The purchase and installation process at SunPower was super easy. They had everything lined up. They do this over and over, so it was pretty straightforward. And then it was Heather who was on-point the whole time.

My spouse is interested in going 100% solar. He is very environmentally friendly. He's recycling and he has an electric vehicle. When I bought my home, it already had SunPower panels. I called SunPower to add more panels so I can raise to 100%, they referred me to Quality Home Services. We had about six months to complete the installation. One of the biggest hurdles was they kept failing the city inspection. Other than that, everything is fine. It’s getting better because we’re going into summer since right now we are barely getting days with a lot of sun. Everything is working the way it’s supposed to be.

I spoke with a whole bunch of different providers and I was pretty close to signing up with Tesla. But then I went with SunPower because of their product and the salesman was able to answer all my questions and made me comfortable. The installation was really easy and communication was good. Everything was done on time. My experience with them has been good and I'm satisfied. Also, we have a lot of people at work who have been talking about SunPower and I know the solar package who we went with. The salesman got recommendations from the people at work so he'd been getting quite a bit of work from our colleagues.

I have multiple Microinverters that are completely dead on my solar home system. This was reported to Sunpower over six months ago and a case was opened and accepted for warranty repair. Unfortunately I email monthly to Sunpower technical support asking about status and rarely hear back from them. My installer has received a response and the answer from Sunpower has always been replacement microinverters are not in stock and they don’t when they will become available. I have these emails documented in emails. Many dollars in solar generation have been during the past six months and no end is in site. Always thought a Sunpower was supposed to be one of the best. Unfortunately warranty repair is nonexistent and I may have to resort to other remedies.

To save on the monthly bill and to get the same amount on the bill each month. The installment was a little bit longer due to weather but still was done in a reasonable time frame. All has been working better since the repair was made. Thanks.

I was referred by somebody else to use SunPower. That and their panels made me want to use them. After I signed up, they had everything installed in one day. The installers were topnotch and everything went very smoothly.

I wanted to save money and in California, we have lots of natural sunlight, so I figured it would be a good decision to go solar. Also, the 30% savings helped me move forward. I looked at about seven different companies and I also set up a quote on EnergySave. Of the six different people I met up with, the SunPower sales agent I dealt with was the most knowledgeable and easiest to work with. After looking at all the different price options, SunPower was more competitive than the other ones. From when I signed to being up, it took about three months.

We went solar to save money on the electric bill and yes if it help the environment. That’s a plus too. I have been telling everyone I know to go solar if they haven’t considered it yet. Thank you to SunPower for a great product.

Save money. After a summer of electric bills all over $400 it was time. I also saw on social media that a previous coworker of mine had recently put solar on their home and were very happy. Cool Blue was excellent in their explanation and professionalism. I'm a Realtor and have already passed out numerous business cards!

We had exhausted every means of reducing our electrical bill. In addition, PG&E was planning to double our electrical bill since they are in bankruptcy. Installing solar allows us to be reasonably unaffected from the unpredictable electrical market. This will also provide a secure future for our family.

I thought going solar would be appropriate for this day-and-age. Helping save the environment and eliminating rising energy costs, I thought solar would be a good choice. I'm very pleased with the representatives whom I've dealt with at SunPower. Any questions or concerns I've had has resulted in a very timely, almost immediate, response from this company.

Used Stellar Solar. We installed 16 panels when we built our home. We had Sunpower on our last home as well. We recently purchased an electric car and installed another 8 panels. Solar seems like the right thing to do and we prefer not to have SDG&E bills.

Did it to help the environment. Very impressed with the quality of the components. Positive Energy Solar's process was very smooth and they took care of everything. Their installers were very professional and skilled, and made sure the site was cleaned up when they finished. Everything about the whole process was well done.

Outstanding company!!! Any of your needs, they are there at your beck and call to assist in anything you need. Top notch customer service!!! Staff extremely knowledgeable and hospitable. They listen to your needs and take care of you first hand.

My panels appear to be performing as expected. However, I keep getting error messages when I log into my system: The data is not displaying correctly and it is not connecting to my home wi-fi system. The installer has not been able to resolve these issues as yet.

My wife and I decided to go solar after our house was built, primarily to be as close to "off the grid" as possible. Having a large property, we had a well, septic, and propane. Solar made sense for minimizing our dependence on the electric grid. The tax and other benefits were icing on the cake!

We decided to go solar for the cost savings and to be more energy efficient. SunPower has been exceptional from the installation to customer service. The communication on each step of the way was clear. We would recommend SunPower to anyone looking to go green and save green!

We were convinced that going solar was the right thing to do for the environment and with all the incentives, it was possible to fit into our budget. In our first year we have saved quite a bit, even taking into account payment for the system.

My husband and I decided to go solar for not only the environment but also to help cut down the rising cost of power in our state. My husband researched the solar panels for almost two years before deciding that SunPower panels were the best for us. The company we choose to install is Sun Power by Energy Concepts and we couldn't be happier. They kept us informed and answered any questions we had and were with us the whole way from beginning to end. It was one of the best experiences we've ever had working with a contractor and all the years we've owned our home. They truly are an outstanding company and we highly recommend them.

Finally, we’re generating our own electricity and reducing our carbon footprint in a big way. Soon, we’ll have backup to keep going during blackouts. A1 Sun was responsive to our questions and flexible about the installation schedule. They coordinated with our roofer and were careful to finish every detail, from painting to the connection of the SunPower controller to our local network.

The permitting, installation, financing, and follow-up service could not have gone smoother. After doing some research, meeting other companies, and talking to friends SunPower offered the most efficient system at a competitive price. On a typical sunny day my system generates power 2x-4x beyond my daily needs ... so I am adding power to the grid AND getting paid to do so.

To save money, be environmentally conscious, also plan to power an electric car in the near future. Install by Sea Bright Solar went well. The entire process from signing the contract to getting the system installed took about 4 months.

I put in two systems in one year. I had one for my house. Then I sold my old house and bought this house where I put a new system in. The brand-new house was bigger and I had to double the system. The enrollment process was easier the second time ‘cause I knew what to expect. My deal is a four-year payback to buy it. It took about two weeks to get thee system up and running. We started producing sometime in mid-December. I'm satisfied with it. I'm not using that much electricity now, but I’m sure it’ll work out good.

Going with solar has definitely been beneficial. In the long run, it's cost-effective and saving and we're really happy with it. My cousin referred us to SunPower and the installation was quick. Our agent was very helpful in walking us through the whole process. SunPower really impacted us with savings on the PG&E bill. Even though we were paying the loan, in a span of 10 years, the system is ours.

I meet with Mike **. He knocked on my door and explained some key points about solar. He got my interest and I agreed to a information meeting on solar. I had my husband sit with us even though he was against solar. After our information meeting we agreed to getting solar. The way he explained solar made even my husband change his mind on solar. I’m all for solar but my husband is resist to change, the way he explained the solar program was straightforward without double talking scripted sales pitches. He just told us the truth about solar and said if we want it go for it, if not don’t get it. But solar with the right company is too good a deal to pass up. I recommend Mike ** to anybody. He will tell you the truth about the program without holding back.

We used a company in Palm Springs called Renova Energy and they are the SunPower dealer there, but we also knew of them through friends. There were two companies we ultimately talked to in the end, but we chose Renova. The reputations of both were very good. The other company proposed the much bigger system and they were virtually insisting we install a battery. And right now, it’s a second home for us, so we didn't feel we needed that. By the time we make it our primary residence, which is the hope, that battery technology will change and will be even less costly.
