Recent SunPower reviews

Julie, Miami, FL: Sunpower made the entire process of acquiring our solar panels simple and easy. We had an extremely pleasant experience with them. Simple, responsive, informative, and brilliantly executed. We are so happy we chose them. Thank you.

Richard, Oregon, IL: I had a hail claim with SunPower and it took way too long to get them take them off my roof so I can get my new roof on and then putting them back on. Other than that, since I started using my panels, it cut my monthly bill down 40% or so in summer. But it's not as good in the winter when it's snow-covered.
