    My family decided to go solar to try to reduce our carbon footprint and to save money, as well. Everyone I interacted with at SunPower (sales rep, project manager, installers) were very friendly and knowledgeable. The one thing I did not expect was how long it would take to get all of the permits and necessary approvals (my system was operational 13 months after signing the contract), but I think that had more to do with the village and homeowners association than with SunPower. So far I am very happy with the end result and would definitely recommend SunPower for anyone who is thinking about going solar.

    Sunpower cheating its customers. I had the solar panels installed in August 2022. Prior to signing the sales contract, I was told that my roof was in ok condition. In March this year, the house has some leaks, 2 roofers came to give me estimate & said that my roof needs replacement, they asked "why wasn't it done before installing the solar panels ?" I called Sunpower, it escalated the case to someone & said have to charge me $1460 to remove & re-install. That's irresponsible work! I want to talk to higher up in company & he said he's the highest position in the dept. He argued with me on the phone saying that they're not a roofing company. I understand, but the GOOD roof is the foundation of the solar panels. I shouldn't have to pay for that....

I opted for SunPower because the company has been around long enough to give me confidence they'll be around for a while longer. I was impressed and happy with every step of the process. What was neat is how each step was done by a different sunpower team or employee. And each one was kind, professional, and a good communicator.

    I'm happy with the overall service. I recommend SunPower to whoever wants solar. It has been very easy to work with. One of the SunPower reps knocked on my door and asked if I was interested in solar and I was at the time. So, he set me up with an informational call. It was over a Zoom call. They had a presentation. It was a lot of information. Reviewing the product, what they would do. They inspected my house. Based on my electricity bills, they said I would need however many panels and all the financial information.

    I generate a lot more power than I use during the winter months and in the summer. The Department of Power here banks it. So, it comes onto my bill as a future credit. In the summer, when we use more, they have this number and they take away whatever I banked first. I'm based in Los Angeles. So, we have air conditioning on a lot. And in the summer, I use more than I generate. But overall, it balances out.

    My initial communication with your group was very difficult. We were still in negotiations on purchasing the house and yet people were looking to get credit checks from me. If I knew how difficult it was to try and get information on the solar power, and how it worked? We most likely wouldn’t have purchased the house. I certainly hope the relationship gets better, because it certainly hasn’t started very well.

    My bill with Edison was excessively high. I signed up with SunPower and had a very good experience. The salesperson was Kathy and she was very sharp and knowledgeable. She was able to answer all my questions. She was responding to my questions through emails or other ways, promptly. The installation of the system went very well.

    I had my panels up four weeks ago. I assume they work. I still receive the bill from Edison. I have an account that I accessed a few times. The production is displayed somewhere there but I do not know how much and I do not know if I have overproduced or not. I would like to understand how much consumption my house has and how much is left, not necessarily at the moment of the day when I would search for it but at least for that particular day, the previous day, the week, and so on. I don't know how to do that. I would like to know if there is any amount going to the grid or if I take some from the grid.

    There is only one dissatisfaction I have, which is not a great deal. It's just aesthetics. The first row panels were about 4 inches off. they're not aligned. I went up the roof and I looked. Maybe there was something in the way they forced them to do it that way. But it could have been done easily. I already talked to an engineer and I communicated it to them. Other than that, the panels function perfectly. SunPower did well.

    Overall, my experience with Sunpower is terrible. My last conversation with Mark was just fine. Prior to that, I have had to speak with a representative on more occasions than I can count. Most leave me with the impression they have absolutely no clue what they are doing and, again, with the exception of my last conversation with Mark, nothing ever gets resolved. Without a doubt would get rid of Sunpower and seek a far better company if I didn't have to inherit the terrible lease when I bought the home.

    I had some issues with the system when I first signed up, which were my fault. There was a second set of breakers to activate the system and I didn't look in there. The only other thing that could have been explained to me a little bit better was the way the local electric company deals with power going back to them. It's a weird system. If I use 1,000 kilowatts a month and I generate 800, they should just be charging me for the 200 but that's not how Rocky Mountain Power does it. They charge me for the 1,000 that's used and they give me credit for the 800 I gave them, which is way less than they charge me for the 1,000.

    Also, I've had more problems on my app. Initially, I used it a lot but I don't know if something changed. I look at my reports at my home computer occasionally and that's fine for me. And a couple of times, the meter reading gives a huge number, like 7,000. It's very rare, though, and I don't know if it's just some glitch in the algorithm. Other than those, it's been working like a charm and I like SunPower's system. Their system is far superior to anything I looked at and the guy that sold it to me was very knowledgeable.

    I picked SunPower because of the brand, and with the experience of the process with them, it was fast. However, they didn't communicate with me very clearly when the time came. It was our first time, so I didn't know what the process was and I needed them to call. When I requested a call, I never got a response right away. Even when I needed somebody to tell me what to do, I had to wait almost three days to get a response. Still, they responded and took care of the other questions I had.

    The installers did a professional job. They cracked some of my tiles, but they fixed them right away, so I didn't have an issue with them at all. I've already had the system for two months, and the output of my solar panels is more than what I expected and what the sales person told me. That was a good plus. When it rains, it doesn't produce as much, but it produces enough for the house. So, I'm happy with SunPower and I recommended them. It's a bit pricey but it's worth it.

    We cannot comment on the installation of the solar system on our home as we purchased home from my significant other’s Parent’s Estate after their death. I do know they initially had a problem but it was repaired soon after installation. We tried to transfer lease into our names for the real estate closing which was supposed to happen the last week of July 21. It took until August 13 before they could get the lease transferred over into our names. Everyday on the phone, every day got different story from everyone I talked to. Finally got that all taken care of. 32 solar panels seemed to be working good and we were receiving a monthly credit on our APS electric bill.

    On October 3, 2022 during a dust storm, we had 3 solar panels damaged. One blew off the roof completely, 2 more shattered but stayed up on the roof unattached. As we were still in Michigan at the time I contacted SunPower after receiving notification from our neighbor that there was damage. They asked if we could send photos so our neighbor climbed up on roof and took pics that we forwarded to SunPower. They initiated a case number and had the installer come out on October 29 to access the damage. Called several times when we got out to Arizona and got no answers of when the panels would be replaced.

    Finally in January after many unreturned calls I was told our case was closed. No repairs, no explanations. Someone “would get back to me”, which I had heard all along. No answer, no explanations. Finally asked to talk to Supervisor the beginning to mid week of February, who assured me that he would take care of it for me and keep me in the loop as to the status of the repairs. He opened another case number for this unresolved problem. He assured me he would call me by Friday. Got an email the following week that he didn’t have any information. Now it’s almost 2 months later, he doesn’t return my calls or emails. The installer, Titan Solar, has been working on my behalf, but is getting frustrated as well as he has sent the pictures of the damage several times and they claim that they haven’t received them. As our solar system is not working in 2 zones we are now getting electric bills as well. This company needs better customer service, that’s for sure.

    Let me start with The Solar Panels are GREAT! The issue is that my breaker kept tripping and later found out that the installation was not correct, they used the wrong gauge wire and connected a 50 amp system to a 25 amp breaker. I called for the repair and the 3rd party electrical company came out and only told me what was wrong without repairing it. I called Sunpower back and it's now been over a Month waiting for them to schedule a return even though I am dealing with the escalation department, they never call me. I initiate all the calls, and now I have a $225 bill from PG&E since my panels are not working. They are so bad at getting repairs done and not calling back. Again, the panels are Great though.

    The installation, the communication, and the salesperson were excellent. To this day, if I needed something, I'd call the SunPower salesperson first even though she probably wouldn’t be able to help me. Once we signed the papers, the date was set. we had our presentation, we said yes, Sarah had it scheduled, and we had solar panel. I think it was less than a month. That all happened fast. They told us they would be here at 6:00 in the morning. We said, “Are you sure? It's dark at that time.” The morning came and we waited. They didn't show up until 7:00. They said, “I don't know why they told you that. We never start before 7:00.” So, the communication was weird. Other than that, we've been satisfied.

    I have called once because I changed internet companies and I had to reconnect. And I needed help. That was fine. The only other thing I had a question on is, on the app, how would I know if there was a specific panel that wasn't functioning correctly? Because my brother has an app for his solar power. And he could see by panel what each one is producing.

    We paid ours outright, so we didn't finance. And we got the rebate. It was better than I expected. When solar first came out, it was very expensive. So, it didn't make sense to me. But for the price we got it, it's an easier sale. My bill is half of what it used to be. I averaged 100 a month and I'm at 54. Do it if you can afford it because I've seen it was not hard to adjust.

We received the amendment, we signed it right away and we thought we were good. 2 weeks later our project manager sends an email saying that he won't be able to add more panels to the project and we need to sign a contract amendment. Well, we told him that was done 2 weeks ago, and we sent him the paperwork signed by me and Sunpower representative.

    Two weeks pass and we asked about our project, no answer, then we call and the assistant tells us that the project manager will contact us. Then you know, no answer, we decided to add a review on BBB, unfortunately that worked, well in part! Project manager answers an email saying that he does not know when the project will be finished and he has no timeline. When we called couple days later his assistant told us that the redesign might take 3 weeks to be updated. Just for giggles, the first plan took 2 weeks, and now to add 2 more panels the whole thing is going to take 5 weeks?

    That was an internal mistake for project manager's part which cost us more than a month, well, the project was not late for us, we decided cancel the project. This is not a serious company or most likely the professionals they assign for their projects. We went with our second option (Powur) and we were just approved by SDGE in the third week of the project (with changes).

    My SunPower inverter failed in September of 2022 and in October our dealer/installer contacted Sunpower and was told a replacement was not available. We then have contacted Sunpower customer support people repeatedly over the past 5 months to try to get them to send us a replacement inverter. We were told repeatedly that they could not provide us with a replacement inverter of any kind. As the Sunpower inverter that was sold to us was actually manufactured by Sunny Boy and rebranded, we told them that it did not matter who produced the replacement inverter so long as it was a dual MPPT 3.7 kW inverter or better.

    I find it impossible to believe that Sunpower has been unable to replace our inverter, which is at the low end in terms of its capacity, for 6 months. Undoubtedly its people decided that as a single homeowner we were the lowest priority for any new inverters coming in to the United States. I finally ordered a Solis inverter on January 17, 2023 from one of their distributors and it shipped out the following day. It was installed by our solar dealer. As of April 5, 2023 the Sunpower escalation person has continued to send me email messages stating that they were doing everything possible to get us a new inverter. Clearly if that were true the company would have closed its doors and shut down its operations months ago. A warranty is worthless if the importer and distributor refuses to honor it as is the case with Sunpower.

I have an elderly mother who lives with me, and she needs to keep warm, so we went and got space heaters for the house.

    What happened was when SolarTech was doing the house, they took out these two things that the master electrician put in. My brother called them. Cassidy, the guy from SunPower who came to our house and sold us everything, was flying that F bomb like you couldn't believe it. When you give service to somebody, you gotta give good customer service after the deal is over. My brother talked to him and sent an email to SolarTech. They were saying that we have to provide the master electrician. The emails were going back and forth. My brother emailed the SolarTech guy then Cassidy called back. He watched his language.

    It still hasn't been fixed, so we can only run one space heater in my mom's room so she can keep warm at night. We can't do the space heater and the heater. If we did both, power goes out. This never happened before. We're not happy, and we're going to work on reporting them to the Better Business Bureau. We referred three other people to them, but we told them after this problem to not got with them. I would not ever do business with Cassidy again. I would not allow my friends to do ever business with him.

    We interviewed several companies and we thought Renova was the best and that they always work with SunPower. We hired Renova in 2016 to put SunPower panels on our house at that time. We're very pleased we have negative electric bills every year. We just bought another property. A month ago, Renova again installed SunPower panels. Everything went beautifully. I look at the mySunPower app every couple of days and I'm happily surprised to see how many kilowatt hours we have generated. I have already recommended Renova and SunPower to half a dozen friends and four have already installed it.

    SunPower impressed us the most, particularly because we thought the resilience of the solar panels were superior to the other products that we had seen. But it was a difficult time for us because they were planning on installing it at a time right before we went on vacation. So, they completed the work as much time as they had and weren't able to finish it because it takes a while to connect to the network and so on. We went away for two months. And when we came back, they finished it up and everything was fine.

    They sized our system right. We had a battery installed and the regulations on batteries in Massachusetts changed at the time after we bought the battery. They adapted everything fine and we were able to configure our setup to match the state requirements. We have a bit of excess, so were were able to buy an electric vehicle. And we still have enough power to charge our system, and our car. We're delighted. SunPower was very reliable and worthwhile investigating.

    When we enrolled with SunPower, it was not high pressure. It was very professional. When it came time to get the specific proposal, I knew exactly what we were getting, where the panels were gonna be located on our roof, what the power output we were expecting and how much the project was gonna cost. The installation went well and they took a look at our roof to make sure that it was in good shape and that we didn't have to reroof or reshingle beforehand. They went into the attic and made sure that all the roof support was in good shape, since these panels had a fair amount of weight to the roof. They were careful about making sure that they weren't just selling us something because that would work for them, but that would work well for us and not cause any problems to the structure of our house.

    The experience with SunPower is very positive. I use the app to check the power generation, how much we're using in the house, how much is going to the grid, or the rare occasions when the grid supply most of the power. So, I'm aware of how well our system is performing. On the couple of occasions where I've had questions, they were answered very promptly. So, the customer service was great, not only during the process, but has been since then though there have been very few occasions when I've needed them because everything has worked very well. I was very pleased with all the people I worked with, from the estimator through the project manager, the folks who were on site, and the customer service.

    SunPower had really good reviews, and they had a good warranty on the panels. The contractor, Ryan, came out and did all the work. It was pretty seamless. They set everything up with the monitoring and all that good stuff, which I still get updates on. So, really, it was really painless. Ambrose Solar was our contractor out of Vacaville, and they were great. They answered all our questions. They seemed to know SunPower's product frontwards and backwards. So, we felt really good about it. The system runs itself, and the setup works. They seemed to be working really efficiently. We've had zero electric bills for the most part all summer. Even through the winter and even the minimal Sundays we have, it seems to be generating well. Everything, so far, has been great. I would definitely recommend it. The panels look great. Even what they had to install on the side of our house is nice and compact and clean-looking.

    My wife and I decided to go solar in the summer of 2016 in order to lower our carbon footprint and save money on our utility bills. We spoke with Joe ** of the Sunlectric Company in Oakdale, CA, who explained that we could choose panels from 3 or 4 different manufacturers. He recommended the SunPower panels, as he felt that they were more reliable and would likely be more trouble free and longer-lasting. Joe put together presentation that projected that the cost savings of a SunPower 26-panel would pay for the cost of our system around 7 years.

    Our system worked well for the first couple of years. We were able to monitor the production of our entire system, and our system produced up to around 57 kwh on the best days. However, we saw a drop in performance after 2 or 3 years. We called Joe and he came out and looked at our system. He had app on his phone that presented the production of each of the 26 panels (we were only able to get this app just a few weeks ago). He told us that many of the panels were not performing well. Further, he told us that there were problems with 30% of the SunPower systems that he installed over a 2 year period, which he thought were a 'bad batch' of panels. He said that it was thought that it could have been due to a 'bad batch' of panels, and could be remedied by replacing all the microinverters in all the panels. It took nearly 2 days to complete this task. Again the panels performed better for a while.

    Then SunPower decided to change its website, and WE LOST ALL OF THE DATA FOR THE FIRST FOUR YEARS! I am hoping that there would be a way to recover this data. Around 3 weeks ago, I received an email from Sunpower with an app that allows us to see the performance of each panel. I discovered that 4 panels were producing virtually no power at all, 2 others were producing around a third of the better-performing panels, and 2 others were also weak. In our first 2 years of production, we sold a bit of electrical power to the utility company. Now, we are having to pay over $2000 per year at the annual true up.

    We paid a premium price for what we were led to believe was a premium product. We feel that if our panels had performed as well as they should have, we would have saved several thousand dollars. It is not clear why these panels are still not performing well even after replacing all the microinverters. Perhaps there are problems with these panels beyond the microinverters. If these panels are indeed from a 'bad batch', perhaps they should all be replaced with new panels. We do not feel that we are getting $42,000 worth of value from this product.

    The salesman with SunPower was very reasonable and the recommendation was good. I went to six different companies, and they were giving me different options. I would ask what the different options were. They said, "In the first few years, we will charge that much. After that, it's gonna be 1% more." When I'm leasing this system for the next 20 years, all that price is gonna catch up with the regular price. With SunPower they locked everything in there, $51 and some cents. There were no changes which was the best part. I also asked the questions about who was making the panels while I was searching for the price. The panels are made in the United States. The salesman with SunPower told me the same thing too. The panels have been there three years, and there have been no problems so far. I got the system check so I can see which panels are working, which are not, and if there's any malfunction anywhere. I'm happy with the system.

    Updated on 04/11/2023: It's been about a month since my review and we've been issued an escalation expert and still have no resolution. Their next step is to have someone come out and see what type of system we have to determine if another inverter would be compatible. We submit weekly emails for an update and have not yet received any definitive answer. Patience has run out (inverter has been down since August 2022).

    Original Review: Our inverter went down in 8/22, a contractor came out and ended up removing the inverter to send to get repaired, it is now 3/23 and we still have no inverter. Our true-up bill will be in excess of 10k. Not happy with lack of results in this repair process. The system is about 8 years old.

    Based on my research, SunPower's panels seem to stand up longer and don't degrade as much. The guy that came out from SunPower was great. The installation team got there when they said they would. They did the installation in the timeframe that they said. They cleaned up after themselves, except for the glove that was left on the roof. After the installation, my brother who used to be a roofer went up and checked everything. He said everything was great. When I looked at the app one time, there was an error so I contacted them on the chat in my app and sent an email. The app chat got them quicker and they told me what to do. It was solved. They said that there was nothing wrong with the panel. It just needed a reboot. There was only one thing that bugged me. They had to drill and put this bar up outside the house. They should have put it closer to the house because it could be a trip hazard.

    SunPower offers the best 25-year performance guarantee. It's a little confusing initially because you talk to somebody from a call center from SunPower, they look at your house and get all your information via email and a phone conversation. They then connect you with one of their authorized installers which in our case was SolarTech out of San Diego. That could have been better explained because I didn't know where the engineering was gonna happen initially. But it worked very smoothly. SolarTech did the estimate. They came out and did the inspection of the house. The process went extremely slowly by neither SunPower nor SolarTech's fault. We had horrific delays getting the permit in place. The dealer pulled our permits, scheduled the work, and did the commissioning. Once we were transitioned to SolarTech, we weren't dealing directly with SunPower for any of the rest of the project, which is fine. They explained that upfront.

    As soon as the solar system went active, we had a zero electric bill and we've had negative electric bills for over a year. In the same project, we also put in two Powerwalls, but they also went through permitting nightmares with the fire marshal for Riverside County. From beginning of the project to the Powerwalls being in place was shy of two years. But they're also in and working and that was also handled by the same contractor who SunPower set us up with. We're really pleased with the software. It's very responsive. We're thrilled with the product. They've been churning out power in excess of what we're able to use. We have a large enough surplus. We could add an electric car without an electric bill and that was the goal.

    SunPower made the installation and getting your certificate of operation super easy as well as the process for the financing for the whole project. Everything's step-by-step. They walk you through it and it's a good experience overall. The installation was two days. The solar panels were embedded into my roof so the installers had to remove tiles. Then, they put in the solar panels. The second day was all electrical work. The installation doesn’t interrupt much. They take your power down for 10 minutes and then bring it back up. It’s very painless.

    The second day where they install it, you're operating on solar power. The only thing that you don't have is it feeding back into the grid. Otherwise, you're consuming solar right then and there, except you're not getting credit for it in California until they submit it to Southern California Edison. But that process, you gotta wait until the city inspector comes and looks at it. They verify everything. So, end to end, it took me about three weeks to get my certificate of operation. Once you get your certificate, from then on is when you're feeding back into the grid. You're getting credit except it's not going towards your bill. If it's sunny, you see your meter going backwards. So, SunPower is being fed backwards, although it's not getting recorded in any billing systems. Theoretically, you're still getting some kind of credit. I’m very satisfied with going solar.

    Best part was when he put me on hold. He came back to let me know what he was doing and that it would just take another moment, rather than leaving me on hold. I appreciated him checking on me and the service was also terrific.

    I was approached by their salesman, Arvin, we spent a lot of time looking at the costs and ROI. I determined the cost benefit were worth the investment for me. My coordinator, Katt, was excellent. Super responsive and very competent. The product has an excellent warranty and the installation was very well done. I am very happy with every step in the process and have already recommended SunPower to friends and family.

    The SunPower system pays for itself. The inspector in town said that the company who installed it, Esmay, has a very good reputation. They broke some tiles and the owner ordered new ones and had techs replace the broken ones.

    The enrollment process took four months, and it was just about what I expected. I didn't expect it to be that quick. I gave them some information, and they dealt with permits and the energy company. I didn't have to worry about anything. I'm extremely satisfied with going solar, and things have been working well.

    SunPower's crew was good, and we haven't had any difficulty with them. We had some difficulty getting the electric company to put a new transformer in. It was caught between a couple of different companies in our neighborhood, but they finally got it in. That had nothing to do with SunPower though. Everything has been fine. We got a new internet server in our house and we had to re-sign on to the app and I had a little difficulty with that. I sent an email and got a response back. It was smooth, and that's surprising. Also, we've reduced our bill. We've gained more kilowatts than we've used, and we're pretty happy. We're leasing and we haven't received any payback yet. We just passed our one-year anniversary and I understand that a settle-up happens sometime around now.

    I wanted to go solar for environmental reasons and cost savings. The process was fast, smooth, and SunPower helped with all phases of the project and responded to my inquiries in a very timely manner. I would definitely recommend SunPower to a friend. Though it has only been a week, my panels have been producing more energy than I thought. I'm very happy about this.

    We have been trying to get broken Solar inverter fixed since Sept 2022! We call every week and they tell us it should be fixed next week, just waiting on a part...twice we were given repair date and no one showed or called! When we called we were told that they don’t have us on the schedule? We received a $1000 past due bill from Big Bear Power… We are under contract with Sunpower and pay them $120 per month. We are trapped! Sunpower is unethical at best and act like a bunch of crooked Con Artists! Stay away from this Company!

    We decided to go solar in 2018 because there was a healthy tax break of 30%. We did feel a bit pressured when we signed up because we were told that the tax break was going to end. We later found out the tax break was reduced to 27%. It now has reverted back to the 30%. To use that as a selling tactic, although not dishonest, is a lousy way to secure a sale.

    We do like the product and the way it was installed. The technicians were professional and the work was done with great care. The end result looks great. Now we are in a new phase with all the changes that are happening to solar owners like us. When I contacted our Sun Power affiliate to ask about upgrading our system I was told that the minimum number of panels we had to order was 10. That's a whole new system and that's ridiculous. Sun Power is missing a huge opportunity to be a leader in the solar market by offering upgrade options of 3 to 5 panels. It would help your existing customers and also secure brand loyalty.

    The lady we spoke to was extremely proactive and had the customer’s best interest in mind. The gentleman we spoke to was more of a numbers person. He just wanted to give you your numbers and go away. But he was polite and answered all questions. Overall, our decision to go with SunPower has been very positive up until this point in time 'cause we've contacted them to possibly expand our system and had a heart attack when we found out how much it was gonna cost. But other than that, we're glad we went with SunPower. The City of Lodi unlike PG&E settles up the difference of usage once a month. So we know exactly where we stand.

    I like the quality of the solar panels of SunPower and the ability to own the system. Their solar panels at the time had some of the highest guarantees after 20 years. About 97% of its production is guaranteed. So if it isn't, I can always call them on the guarantee on that. Whereas other ones, the details on those were down to 80%, so I'd lose quite a bit. The installation was also very professional. They had the roof inspection, made sure all the assessments are right, and had contractors, licenses and all the stuff that makes you feel confident about that installation process.

    Everything was done very quickly. There was a small hiccup in the metering, but it had nothing to do with the actual output. It was the way the metering was reporting. It was resolved offline too. They just changed the code a little bit and everything was good. Overall, I liked it a lot. They've also updated the app that they use for metering, which is really great. It was a lot more simplified and easy to understand.

    SunPower's salesman was great. Sometimes you meet with salesmen and they're super pushy. You try to say, "I'm not interested," but they ask you 27 more times if you are. The way the SunPower salesman approached the process was wonderful. He made you feel like if you were his family member or friend, it was what he would recommend, but there was no pressure. Everyone I spoke with was also very friendly and helpful.

    Watching the app that I am obsessed with, there's so much info. I like it. It's fun to see how much your home is using, and how much solar you've produced. I've been shocked in February that we've produced as much as we have and we're still in the negative as far as our consumption from the grid. Overall, it's been a great experience. SunPower made it very easy for the consumer. I would recommend them.
