    Vision Solar/SunRun promised a no cost removal, storage and reinstallation of my solar array if I decided to renovate. When the time came to renovate they reneged on their promise to me. Awful company!

    We had panels installed in 2015 and have been happy with the performance and savings. We knew we would need a new roof withing a few years and were told it was a single charge of $1000.00 to have them removed and reinstalled. We just contacted them to begin the process and are being told they charge $170.00 per panel, at 29 panels that's a cost of $4930.00. Of course there is nothing written in the contract about the amount. Not very happy with them and will definitely not recommend them.

    Sunrun's installation crew was good. The only thing that we ran into is that they hit one of my thermostat wires, which then they snipped accidentally. I had to get an electrician to come and fix it, but Sunrun ended up paying for that. It was just kind of a pain because I lost the ability to control my heaters in the dead of winter. They paid me back but it was still super annoying. Other than that, my monthly bills are way better than what Sunrun told me that it was gonna be, which is awesome. I thought they were gonna oversell me like everybody else, but they undersold me.

    Updated on 06/23/2022: I wrote on here how Sunrun would walk me through everything! Well they did not, they damaged my new 2022 car in November and it took over 30 calls and then me calling Costco! Then I write in here how they do Business and they sent me an email. Told me to call them or email them to help make it right. Well I called and I emailed them. Well they did not return my calls or my emails, I did not think they would. So I did send them a copy of my electric bill they told me I would never get. My electric bill is 208.00 for 28 days and my Sunrun bill is 128.00 dollars so that is 336.00 for one month and they told me with solar I would get very little electric bill if any!!! I guess they forgot to tell the electric company. Well look for more updates if any. Thank you. Jerry **

    Original Review: My experience with Sunrun was not very good. I purchased their product in August. They put it in the first week of November, and I just got it turned on about three weeks ago. So far, I've had an electricity bill, which I had told I would not have. So, that was one thing that was told to me that so far has been wrong. Reliance had sent me a daily thing showing what my cost is. I'm averaging $5 and some odd cents a day. So, the price that I'm paying for the solar panels and the price I'm paying for the electricity are about what I had been paying without the solar.

    I paid $20,000 on my solar and I told them to keep drawing the money out so I can get them paid off. Then I noticed they didn't take a payment out this month. I called them and asked them why, and they said, "'Cause you made a $20,000 payment." I said, "I told y'all." Also, you don't talk to anybody in the United States. I'm not doing business with a company that cannot do business in the United States. I don't understand them when they're talking, and they don't understand my questions because they are foreigners. So, if you can't explain it to them in their terms, then they don't understand the question. I am not happy about it. I would not do it again and I would not recommend Sunrun.

    Another thing that Sunrun told me was that as soon as it was installed, a man would come to my house, walk me through everything that was gonna go on, what was happening and how my billing would be done, and help me pick out a utility company. All I got was an email stating that the panels were up and running. I called them and said, "Is somebody gonna come out here and explain anything to me?" They said, "No, ma'am. You just look it up on the website." I said, "No. That's not what I was told. What power company do I go with? Who would be better?" They said, "Ma'am, you have to choose that."

    One of Sunrun's salesmen, Adam, stopped by the house and gave us a proposal and it looked good. Signing up was easy. The installation didn't go too well because, first, they showed up late. Second, when they showed up here, they started working two hours after they showed up because the electrician was having some doubts on where he was supposed to put the box that Sunrun connects into the house. It took him two hours when he was getting clarification from Sunrun's office. Once they started working around 1:00 p.m., he told me that they had to leave early because their project manager called them that they had an emergency on the property that they did prior and they had to go fix it.

    I called Adam to let him know that the crew was leaving, and he called somebody who called the installers back and told them to stay. So, I was told, “Oh, yeah. We're going to finish the work.” “Okay. Cool.” It was supposed to be four people on the roof plus the guy that was doing the electrical work. When I went outside around 2:00, for my surprise, it was only one guy working on the roof and the electrician. So, I asked him, “What happened with the rest of your crew?” He told me, “Oh, they went to the other house.”

    I leased solar panels from Sunrun in 2019 and have nothing but problems since. My panels continue to underproduce what my contract states. I have 3 yrs worth of emails back and forth from them and they all contradict themselves. I get a bill from SCE every year for $650-$1,000 for energy I had to purchase from them because my panels are not producing what they should. I monitor my panels online to see what they are producing and they tell me that what I see online is different from what they see. Why is that? Why shouldn't I be able to monitor my system the same way they are? They are very shady and I would not recommend them to anyone. In fact, my neighbors asked me who I went with when they were looking into solar and my first response was "DON'T GO WITH SUNRUN".

    I checked two companies, and Sunrun was the best one 'cause it had a lease instead of outright payment. Enrolling with them was fine, installation went smoothly and now, my bills are down. I haven't had any issues, but my family has had issues 'cause they feel that it could be a possible problem with selling the house at a later date. The subsequent buyer may not want to carry it on and then they have to pay for how many years of lease that was involved.

    I'm truly happy with Sunrun. Everything went well. The initial sales representative, Brian, commandeered the entire process. There were a lot of dropped balls so to speak from the project managers and it was Brian that straightened everything out and made everything possible. The process took a long time to go. Brian actually gave me a Sunrun gift card because I was at a point where I was saying, "This is ridiculous. It's taking too long." I just wanted to put an end to it. He was like, "No, no, no. Just give me a little bit of time and I'm gonna send you a gift card." I was very grateful that he really cared and that it was important for him to see this through. He did go above and beyond what he needed to do in order to maintain that relationship that I have with Sunrun at this point.

    Going solar was one of the best decisions I've made recently, and I only see good things happening because I see more and more people reaching out with the realization that there has to be a solution to these exorbitant prices. Being at home, me and my girlfriend are constantly using energy. My AC has been going and with the use of solar, it kept and maintained a nice, comfortable 70 degrees. Everybody's happy in the house.

    Enrolling with Sunrun was a pleasant experience. The reps walked us through all the steps. We didn't feel pressured and didn't feel like we had to make a decision right there and then. We were given a lot of information to do our homework, and they let us make our own decisions but with correct information. The information we previously received from other companies talked about numbers but didn't talk about the panels, the longevity, the company's reputation, and how they started. That's also important for such a big commitment financially. The installation took a little longer but it was due to COVID. There were a lot of stuff going on when we were ready to move forward. But the guys came and knew what they were doing. They were informative and would allow me to ask questions and get some information. It didn't feel like they were unreachable.

    As a wife, we always get told by our husbands to stop using water and too much electricity. But we’ve been able to use the AC and run our Jacuzzi, and financially, we can do this now. We have a high usage in the summer. But we have a Jacuzzi that we run 24/7 to keep it always ready for us. And we are planning on purchasing in electrical car. We wanted to plan ahead, so that could also be a benefit to us.

    We did our taxes as well and my husband was very pleased with what Sunrun promised us as far as the tax credit. We haven’t got the rebate yet but it’s still something that’s taking account, and it’s real. We thought we were gonna have to struggle and go back and complain. We were a little leery on it but it turned out very well. Everybody wants solar but people concentrate on the big dollar amount instead of what they’re saving long-term. We used to get a $400 electricity bill in the summer but we’re not stressing out this summer. And we got our first credit from Edison. So, I’d recommend Sunrun to everybody.

    I don't normally leave a review like this but it's needed at this point. End of April my autopay failed for some reason (according to Sunrun website) so I did my due diligence to pay so it was not late. Next day, both autopay and my payment were coming out of my checking out. I called immediately and spoke to Camila who told me I needed to wait for both payments to post to request a refund for the duplicate payment. Next day, payments posted, so I called again and spoke to Quincey who told me they will open a case to request the refund but will take up to two weeks. He did not give me a case number or a contact phone number or email for follow ups because he stated he would email me. I never received the email he claimed to send, so I called multiple times again and finally received the case number and each person I spoke to said that Quincey ** was handling my case.

    I asked to speak with him and they stated they do not have an extension or phone number to transfer the call directly to him and instead gave me his direct email. Since no customer service representative on the phone or website chat was able to assist me, I sent numerous emails to Quincey requesting an update on my case because I needed my refund to pay other bills. It has now been over two weeks since the initial contact when I was told I would get my refund and have not received any update, I have not received any refund, and no one is able to give me an answer. Not even so much to tell me that my case was closed for whatever reason.

    They do everything they can to avoid giving you an answer and now it's to the point that my next bill came out and they are refusing to give me a refund because it's paying for the next bill. Even though I requested the refund before the bill was generated. Sunrun was not a choice for me, the house I purchased already had the solar accounts and we took it over but it is definitely not a company I would suggest using. Do your research and go with a company with better customer service and assistance because they know nothing.

After many many phone calls and text messages they finally came out to change out the power panel in mid-April, again, no update and no response since. Work still not complete and it is almost June. Call to customer service with no result, cannot talk to a supervisor or manager. Today I left a voice mail for Mary Powell at the corporate office since I cannot talk to anyone else.

    I didn't get the information back from the sales representatives that I was hoping for, and I ended up getting routed into a lease instead of a purchase. I wanted a side by side comparison of lease versus purchase, and it was a pretty hard sell into getting me into the lease, which meant I didn't have the tax incentives or promotional incentives from Costco. On the other hand, the installers were terrific. They were in and out in a day. They took good care of my property and did a good job on the cleanup and staying out of the way of what I needed to do. They were very courteous during the day.

    My big problem with Sunrun is after sales support has been extremely bad. I can't get callbacks from them, and it's where they've really dropped the ball. I was much happier with them going into this than I have been since everything started. Still, I like that I am having less impact on my carbon footprint, and I like that over the long term, I will save money. Right now, it's pretty cost neutral with what I am spending for the lease versus the amount of money that was going toward the energy company. The long term cost benefit is where the best value is. The amount I'm paying now will stay the same over the next 20 years. Where if I was continuing with the energy company, it would continue to be more expensive over time.

But I have been talking to my brother because he has an existing home and he wants solar bad. The cost for him to get it has been too much for him though and I was explaining to him Sunrun has programs if he wants to lease.

    The team who came out and installed the panels were good. They installed the panels in one day. That was seamless. But there were a couple other contractors that did not work out so well. They contracted out the electrician, and it took a couple of weeks for them to fix something. Then after they put the new circuit panel in, they had to repair the stucco. That took another week. The process with Sunrun was a little bit bumpy when the final process was completed. But it's good that I'm creating power here. I'm on the net metering program so I square off with my utility company once a year.

    We made the call to Sunrun and a guy came out and presented it. They were the first one we checked into and we decided that we were gonna go with it. The customer service reps contacted us a few times to see how the project was going. In the beginning, we weren't getting hardly anything because it was the middle of winter. Now the days are getting longer, we're generating a lot more energy. Going with Sunrun has lowered my bill.

    With Sunrun, the cost was clear to me and it was very simple to understand. There were no hidden costs. Plus, they promised to fix the roof if they damage it. Other solar providers wouldn’t promise that. I’ve been happy with Sunrun. It took a little bit longer than I anticipated to get everything done, but I understand with what the process is and how the approvals work.

    Christopher was a very, very nice gentleman. He told us about the tax incentives. He indicated that there was a $12,000 tax incentive based on the $34,000 cost. He said, California right now has a blank rebate. Then he told us about the other stuff. If you buy a battery, you can use the battery at night or when the power goes out. I said, okay and that's good. He gave me some examples. The system went up. The way they did it was flawless and beautiful. They were very quick. We were informed.

    I love the product. The solar panels do what they are supposed to do. The battery does what it's supposed to do but Sunrun gave me the wrong information. There's an app that they had me download, and it shows that the battery discharges. In other words, it empties out every day. By about 9 o'clock, maybe 10 o'clock, it's gone. He said that it's normal that it's emptying out and that it’s being sold to the electric company. They lied to me to sell me the battery.

    Also, there was the bait-and-switch with the rebate. They were very misleading with the information regarding the amount of the rebate. But that information was readily available on their website. All they had to do was go to their website and say, “Oh, it says here, based on the price, the State of California will give you 7,500.” My wife and I were really adamant about getting a solar system. So it's very likely that I would have gotten the solar system. But they never gave me that opportunity.

    Sunrun was very efficient in putting the panels up and getting here for the permit with the city. They cleaned up but stepped on some plants that they broke. Other than that, they've been good about being here on time and working with the city. Sometimes, they had new employees that were meeting this inspector from the city. Three times, the guy was here, and it was a new person that was meeting the city inspector, so he didn't know certain things. I told him, “If you're new, you need to find out from your company what's expected of you so when you come here to my home and I'm here and the inspector, that you don't waste our time. But as far as the installation, they're trying to reach out to me to talk about the panels and how to take care of these. As far as the billing from Southern California Edison, I've got a credit.

    I did Sunrun in San Jose and it was a bad experience. It was not so much with Sunrun itself but it was just what I understood. When I was in San Jose, the promotion that they were doing was to give you enough solar panels that keep you in a certain tier. When I would get my true-up, it was horrible. We moved to Gilroy five years ago and when they would come to our door, I would slam the door on their faces saying I wasn’t interested. My sister had gotten Sunrun the first time in Morgan Hill and she had the same experience. She moved to Gilroy and she got them again. It's been a good experience for her so I decided to do it again.

    I spoke to Sean at Sunrun and he spent two hours with me on the phone when I first called late at night. He assured me, “No, it wouldn't be that way this time.” They're gonna make sure that this time, we would get enough panels to offset what we do. It was true. My husband passed away on July 1st and my kids moved in with me. It was good timing that I reached out to Sunrun because with my grandkids here too, so we use a lot more electricity than when it was just my husband and me. It was good that we are able to get a true pulse on what we are doing. Sean made sure to get it all right. I have enough confidence in Sean and he’s been great throughout the entire process.

    It took forever when we first started it to even get the solar panels installed but it was not Sunrun’s fault. It’s the way that it all works. It took even longer to get it finally to start because of PG&E. Our system is very new and it’s working. I did the Powerwall and that's the most exciting thing. I know that when we have a loss of electricity, the majority of my house will still function. That’s a huge plus. Sunrun did a great job.

    The installation crew was phenomenal. They were respectful of the property. They got to the site and there was kind of a on the fly redesign they had to do in terms of some available wall space on the house. Instead of just telling me they couldn't do it this way and they had to do it that way, they figured out if they could make it work the way I wanted it to look. They got it done when they were supposed to. They worked hard and were very relatable.

    The panels were installed the very end of the year last year. We've had it about three months now and the bills have been low. My only disappointment is that we did two Tesla battery wall packs and I wish I would have done three. We designed it for 150% of our existing usage. But we're just finishing up a pool project and we're gonna have a heater on that. We can run the heat when the sun's out and the two batteries most of the time will carry us through the night. But when it's cloudy and the batteries don't get charged 100%, we're having to pull from the grid. Sunrun told me that I can't add another battery with the way the current law stands, which is so frustrating to me.

    At the time you're doing it, you don't know how much a battery is going to hold. I was kind of under the impression that two batteries would carry me for a few days assuming that even if it was cloudy days. I was also under the impression that I could continue to add on to them. But it's not a major deal. My bills are $30, $40 a month which used to be 350 a month. It's significantly less.

    I leveraged my Costco membership to reach out to Sunrun. It was a quick meeting with someone coming over to the house and doing an energy evaluation. So, the enrollment was quick and a fairly seamless process. The person who helped us with the energy evaluation was very knowledgeable about the company and about solar energy in general. It felt like a good interaction, seemed very honest and clearly represented a reputable firm. The salesperson was helpful in helping us to coordinate the installation and was there as a support person throughout the entire process. The installation was quick and painless. We didn't have a lot of interaction with the installers. But they did a nice job.

    The main frustration for us was that shortly after we installed, Duke Energy, who is our electricity provider in Florida, instituted a minimum charge on electric bills, which was frustrating given that that wasn't information that we had known prior nor had expected. So, that impacted how we think about the payback period for installing the solar and is a disincentive for clean energy to persist and grow over time. But beyond that, we have a good understanding of how to look at our bill and the positive impact that probably solar is having not only on us financially, excluding that Duke Energy annoyance, but also doing good in the world. We're excited to be doing a small part to help drive towards a greener environment. And so, in that respect, working with Sunrun has impacted us.

So, even if I'm only paying 80 a month because that includes the 70 from Sunrun and whatever electricity we use, it's still cheaper than if I didn't have it.

    I would recommend Sunrun to everybody. I don't know why everyone's so afraid to get solar panels on the roof. Last week, we had a wind storm and I cannot believe that Sunrun installed those things so well that they didn't fly off my roof. That's how bad the wind was.

    The sales rep was good. However, there was a little bit of a snag. It took a little time to get things rolling. We're still waiting for the certificate so that we can sign up for the monthly incentive portion, which I don't know if we've received that yet. The installers had to make some corrections during the initial turn-on process, where they didn't pass the utility company inspection. So, they had to go back and redo all that and that was a little bit of a setback as well. But overall, once the system was running, it was running. We're utilizing Sunrun but PSEG still has to be paid because we get gas with it. I understand that. We'll be able to get a better understanding how Sunrun is working for us once it starts running fully and we see how the PSEG bills are. But overall, it will be a good thing to have right now. The last bill was $600 and now, it's only 200. So, there is a significant improvement. Long-term, that's the good process and we'll start seeing the benefits.

    I know what I’m paying Sunrun and I like that it’s always 207. With GWP, my monthly can reach $600 per month but that's including water and trash. The power part was so variable depending on the month of heating or air conditioning that I wanted consistency and this provides that. The whole experience was a downer though because it took so long. Sunrun came out to me in August and I signed the contract. It got approved and installed in December. So, it was a six-month process and I thought it would be a one-month process. So, that was a bummer. But bulk of that was on Glendale. Sunrun was good at texting me updates during that long waiting period. They sent me a text at least one time per month and would even send me a text and say they heard nothing from Glendale Water and Power and that they were bugging them and that there was no update other than letting me know that they were still on top of it.

    My neighbor has solar and recommended it. It looked good to have. Sunrun installs the solar system. Don'tmake the big mistake to install it in the winter because you won’t see the benefits. Install it at a good month when there's really a lot of sun so the customer can see the benefits. The customer at the beginning will get double-hit. That's when you lose your money. When mine was installed, that wasn’t activated correctly. Another technician came out here and he started it up all over again. There was a little gap but was okay.

    The guys who did the installation were magnificent gentlemen. They represented themselves well and they knew what they were doing. They did a very neat and clean job. Sunrun did a decent job on the whole. The first time they came over to install it, they were going to give me almost 35 panels. They're gonna put it at both ends at the roof. But because I'm gonna raise the other side of the roof, I told them to do just one side. They give me only 25 panels. When I raise the roof, I would like to have them come back, install the extra panels in the new roof and keep the same price.

    Started the process early February, it was smooth at first. It is now mid April. I was contacted by a work coordinator and told any questions I may have will be answered by him or by my sales rep. After countless emails to the coordinator, who by the way seems clueless as to what's going on, I still can't get any answers. The sales rep will not return my messages. This is so beyond frustrating. I was told they were the biggest and best in the country. If so please get your act together. I have little confidence in Sunrun or their work, because of the poor service I am receiving!

    At this point I'm looking for a way out. All I had was a few simple questions. 1). When was work going to start on the next phase. 2). Can I pay for additional panels to be installed during the installation process. That's it! Now after reading many negative reviews I'm truly worried about the future dealings with this company. And the quality of service. One phone call from a knowledgeable rep would have set my mind at ease. Now I want out!

    I have had my solar system since 2013 with many failures to its inverter. My latest problem started in Sept 2021 with a burned out inverter. A technician our about 2 weeks after reporting the problem. He determined that I need to have all my panels replaced due to corrosion. That was order and after 6 months of complaining about nothing getting done the panels were replace on April 5, 2022. They still have not replaced the inverter. In trying to get an update about when that would happen (many calls, including being dropped while on hold), after two weeks I was finally told that the system needs redesign prior to getting a replaced inverter. Of course the design process was only requested after I complained about where is my inverter, which is again holding up my repair for several more weeks.

    In my lay opinion the design process should have been started even before the replacement panels were installed not weeks after. Now whatever comes out of the redesign may require that the panels be completely rewired and/or moved around. This is a big waste of their tech team and maybe equipment resources. This also prolongs my system outage.

    The bottom line is that if I did not have a lease I would have changed supplier very quickly. I think their customer service is the worst I have ever dealt with. I am constantly trying to get status updates and told that I will be called back, which never happens. Each person I speak with says they are sorry, but I see no improvement of service.

But when I got ahold of Mike, he helped me more than the project manager did. He said, "I don't have the answer for you, but I'll get it," and he got it. Then I got an apology email from the project manager but at that point, I was done with him. So that was the unpleasant part of my experience. But Mike made it better.

    Sunrun at Costco asked if I wanted to go solar and I said, “I now own my house. Yes, I do.” Jennifer was my sales rep and she was fabulous. She was advocating for me. I immediately got scheduled that afternoon or the next day with a visit. The installers were okay but they were rowdy-ish. they had some misinformation about what they told me about how the conduit could get to the panels for my electric panel. They initially wrapped it around the edge of the roof and said that it had to be that way. It was a part facing the streets and it looked terrible when I wandered around the neighborhood. I had to go back to my salesperson and she made sure they came back and changed it.

    Sunrun also did my reroofing. We hired a subcontractor to do that, which was great. That was another reason that I chose Sunrun. Those roofers were very respectful. Any time you have a reroofing, there's gonna be a little bit of debris, but they did a great job cleaning it up. They were very nice and considerate. They loosened an exhaust flue that is in the process of being repaired because it made my furnace not work. Sunrun damages are handling that. That process, initially, was frustrating because they kept referring me to someone on the phone that was saying, “We can take the panels off and put them back on again.” But that was not the issue. They were the ones who did the roof. Once I spoke to the damage and claims folks, they've been great about it. Also, the Costco financing deal was a big reason for me to do Sunrun. Being able to do that all at once was great.

    I'm a big fan of Sunrun, and I would recommend them to anyone. I interviewed three different companies when I got interested in solar. I did a little research on the companies, which was interesting because I didn't understand the rating that Sunrun got, as opposed to the rating of the company I refused to use. Their overall rating was better than Sunrun's, but Sunrun's customer service rating was better than theirs. After talking to Sunrun's sales rep, I didn't want to do business with them. The other company, the way they’re set up is that the customer has to do everything on their own on the internet. To ask questions, one has to send them a question and they respond back, so you wouldn't talk to a live person until you pre-accepted the deal. I didn’t like dealing with them either.

    I appreciated the sales rep that Sunrun had because he answered all my questions. I told him I probably had more, and he said, “Bring it.” He was outstanding. Unfortunately, he doesn't work for Sunrun anymore, but the guy who took over for him was pretty good too. I had a bit of bad experience in the installation part, but it worked out. It wasn’t all Sunrun’s fault. I have a townhouse, and when the installers came in, they went on the roof and drilled a hole in the neighbor's roof. Based on the plan, they said the design wasn't quite right, so they said I had options. They could make an adjustment there, or they could go back to the engineers and let the engineers really look at it. I went back to the engineers, and it took them almost a month to come back out to do the reinstall.

    They were supposed to get it installed before the beginning of the summer. It didn't get installed till the middle of the fall, but that was partially because my HOA was dragging their feet about giving approval. There was that in the scheduling, but Sunrun also had to reschedule another crew to come out to put it in. It was a little more than 30 days. They did a nice job though. They did it pretty fast then there was the time between once they installed it, they had to come in and get approval from the county. That took a little while too. So from the time the system got installed till the time it was turned on to use, it took a little time and I wasn't happy about that.

    I've received two bills with a little confusion as well. Their bill was approximately what they said it was going to be, but the electric company’s bill seemed a little high. One was 50 something, and the other was 70 something. My understanding is that I should only be getting a connection bill from the electric company. I was gonna make a call, try to see if I could find out what that's about, but I want to see what the next electric bill looks like.

We are going into April after initial installation was September of 2021. I have a product that is not safe to use according the the energy company. Somehow, they doesn't have the conduit wiring correct. I should have known there were something wrong after over a 6 visits the first week.

    I have 4 unsightly extra boxes on the outside of my home and I don't know why. I am also paying an electrical bill as well as my solar responsibilities. It's very frustrating that I don't have any recourse or communication about the status of my service. I just know that they convinced me to pay over 40K for a system that hasn't passed inspection...I regret this decision daily. If it is possible to undo this I would love to have it happen sooner or later.

    The turnaround process was a little bit longer than we expected. They did the installation back in December and we just had the solar completely turned on about a week ago. We kinda had a runaround with OUC. But everything else was pretty good. They were pretty quick with the installation and they let me know everything that was going on. My only complaint about them was that I had cigarette butts left in my yard but other than that, they were really nice.

    A new car, costing about $30,000 or more, usually come with a user manual, right? no user manual for my Sunrun new system! I received too many random email about the virtue of Sunrun but no instruction booklet. I send several email requests for:

    - an "Operation manual" and for

    - a procedure to test the "4 circuits" on battery backup in case of grid failure.

    It has been more than two months. System comprises of PV cells, LG battery, inverter, 4 house circuits on battery backup, Solar breakers in the main panel, Solar AC disconnect, garage subpanel (with with 4 circuits for fridge, garage door opener, kitchen, one bathroom).

    Basic requests to Sunrun:

    o if I need to turn off the main circuit breaker? What is really turned off? Is it safe?
    o if I have i.e. kitchen electric fire? How to proceed to safely turn the power off?
    o if need to add a new circuit inside the property how to turn power off?

    o how do I test that the "4 circuits" on battery backup actually work in case of grid failure?

    How is a safety conscious home owner able to document in plain English the functioning of the Sunrun system:

    - to the home owner himself
    - to my family members, to a care taker in case of a prolonged absence
    - to an electrician performing repairs or changes in the house

    - to the buyer of a new house

    Every home owner with an installed Solar System, especially with battery backup, should have a basic user manual. It is not safe to be ignorant of one's own solar system personal risks. It is not safe to be surrounded by unfamiliar electric systems.

    One needs to consider Sunrun’s attention to customer issues after installation. In my case I find this company was great at installation and later pretty much ignored my valid concerns now that I am several years into the contract. The system seems to work just fine but when it comes to customer problem resolution they failed miserably and deflect rather than dealing with an unusual, but completely valid issue. If I had it to do again, this is a company I would never have chosen.

    Going solar seemed like there was a big incentive but there isn’t. It's something homeowners should do themselves to get the real effect of solar. Because right now, I have somebody else's power plant on my house, which is what I signed up for. So, when you look at it from their point of view, it's not a good perspective. The idea and the incentives sound nice, but Sunrun gets most of the incentive. I get a couple 100 bucks for installing during winter and going with Home Depot products, and I save about 25% in totality on my bill. But there's $8,000 that I missed out on because I let Sunrun put the solar panels on my house instead of doing it myself.

    The installation was quick. It was a little cold that day. We're used to the weather changing every five minutes around here but generally, if it would have gotten that cold somewhere, I would have called the day off of work. So, they were higher than my expectations. They showed up and did the job. There were a couple problems where they used my house as a training facility one day, which was an annoyance. But it was helpful at the same time because you got more eyes on the job. They would be more likely to find any problems, if there were any. But there weren't.

    Our sales rep, Richie, was a great guy. He was honest and straightforward. I told him our bill was between 75 to $150 a month all the time, but I have a backup Generac system that'll run the whole house. I split it in half, so the battery backup system is running half the house, and my generator system the other half. One thing I really enjoyed about their service techs, they were very professional. They did such a great job, and they were nice and neat. Also, the panels I got are made in Germany. I don’t care if they’re made in Taiwan or Vietnam. I just didn’t want China stuff. Even my batteries are made in South Korea. So, I’m happy with that. The only problem I had was it took three months to get the battery, and that was out of Sunrun's hands.

    My whole experience with Sunrun was great. Everybody's been happy and very polite. They’re great people. I also get nice emails all the time. This is the first time I’ve ever had solar, and one question I forgot to ask was how to clean my panels. Three weeks ago, I got, “This is how you clean your panels.” They also offered us money if we recommended them, which we have. Friends of ours are getting the same thing we have. We live in a rural area, and when we get monsoon season, we always lose electricity, so everybody up here wants battery backups.

    We're leasing the system, so we're paying a bit more than my highest electricity bill that I've ever had. I wanted it for when our electricity goes out. We live up in hunting country where everybody hunts, and we lose electricity, which happens every year, about seven times a year for 20 hours. We've got elk in our freezers and I don't want to lose all that meat. I want my freezers to keep running when we have no electricity. That’s the reason why I wanted the system. My well always runs and my air conditioner runs as well.

    My cousin lives down in Peoria, Arizona. He doesn't have the battery backup, and he saves a lot of money. Having a battery backup, I'm gonna save more money because I'm producing my own electricity, and right now, it's a nice, sunny day. It’s not hot, and I can go out in my garage and my battery's charging and producing electricity for my house. I'm not charging off of aps. I’m perfectly happy with the system so far, but I haven't gotten a bill from Sunrun or aps yet. I understood, the first month or two, they have to adjust with the previously owed bill, but I haven’t received anything from Sunrun yet about a bill. I don’t have good internet service out here, so I prefer a paper bill.

    I liked dealing with the sales guy. He explained everything pretty well, so it was a positive experience. But when customer service emails me and I reply, I don't get anything back so I usually have to call, and that’s not convenient. That would be a very big negative for me, but everything else is positive. They installed the system and then told me that they would do the inspection. The inspection happened and then we got the approval. They said, “Okay. You can turn it on.” One switch says, “On,” and one says the configuration to be in. But I never got a reply back.

    A month later, Sunrun sent me an email saying that they were going to send a technician because they were not getting good reading. It turned out that they never replied to me so the switch that was supposed to be on was never on. But I never got a confirmation on whether or not that was the switch.

    All started off well, seemed like a good choice but a few months in had a glitch with no production for 4 months which ended up leaving me with a true-up balance of a few thousand dollars with my electric provider. I thought it would not be a problem but the 100% performance guarantee from Sunrun only kicks to measure output at 2 years. I made the mistake of leasing vs buying and I can't buy now until the 5-year mark. Very unfortunate but this year I paid more for my electric than I did before I had solar (contract fee and electric company fees). Just be aware of details before your sign.

Once the roof was completed, I schedule SunRun to place the panels back on my roof. It took until September for a team to come out to work on my roof. The first appointment was September 7th. I received over twenty email reminders and text about the appointment. No one showed up or called on September 7th. I had to call and wait on hold for over 2 hours to let me know that no one would be able to come out to the house that day. I was rescheduled for September 18th and no one showed up again. My appointment was rescheduled to September 30th.

    When the team arrived they placed mounts on my brand new roof and then informed me they could not find my panels after the mounts were place. From that day until now I have not been able to get this resolved. I have a brand new roof and mounts with no panels. I am being billed monthly for no service or solar (averages $45-$100 per month) but I do not have panels nothing is hooked up to my electric as it was removed when I had my roof replaced. I have called, emailed, gone to the BBB and requested several times removal of the mounts and fixing my roof or panels and still receive no response. Vivint was wonderful. Sun Run not so much.

    I am severely displeased with Sunrun and the sales people they employ. I indicated that I was interested in getting solar while taking advantage of the Costco promotion several times throughout our communications. During the months that I considered Solar my salesperson inundated me with calls and texts to follow up and sell me solar. I was shopping around looking for the best value and most affordable solar panels, to which my sales person promised as an added bonus that he would throw in an additional $1000 gift card to "sweeten the deal" in addition to other incentives promised.

    Eventually after he wore me down I truly entrusted my sales person's word and that he would hold up his end of the bargain. We planned the initial installation which I received 2 separate visits of Sunrun employees assessing whether installation was doable or not. Neither communicated with with the previous employee where they left off, nor had my salesperson communicated that they would need to come into my house even though I mentioned that I work late at night and therefore sleep later into the morning.

    Finally came the day of installation to which I communicated to my salesperson again that I sleep late so I couldn't have them coming into my home. I was assured that would be the case, unfortunately to my surprise he did not convey this message. They were very loud in their installation and I was not able to go back to sleep after being woken up while they worked. After installation they shut off my power, they tripped a wire and blew out my heat pump in the middle of winter leaving me without heating for my home. Again my sales person promised they would cover the cost of repairing my heater, which I have never been reimbursed for.

    Fast forward to my solar system being installed and I am patiently awaiting my incentives that were promised to me. I contacted my salesperson, I receive no response to my request. I was passed onto a "project coordinator" that knew nothing of the incentives promised to me. I follow up and got passed on to another project coordinator. At this point I am beginning to get extremely frustrated and contact my sales person who at first could not stop contacting me, but when I needed him was nowhere to be found. After not hearing from him for 3 months!!! All of the incentives and tax rebate information I needed he miraculously was no longer knowledgeable about.

    Furthermore, the Costco incentive I mentioned I was interested in from the beginning, I was informed i wasn't eligible for because my sales person filed the wrong paperwork for me. Whether it was out of malice (perhaps getting a bigger commission for not going through Costco) or sheer ineptitude they have noting to rectify their mistake. My sales person said that the Costco promotion was discontinued despite having spoken to a Costco representative saying that it has been ongoing, uninterrupted during the time I was seeking to get my solar installation.

    Needless to say, I highly recommend you either go directly with Costco Sunrun representative to mitigate confusion or support a smaller Solar installer, as the large the company like Sunrun are less likely to enact or keep their promises. I am in conversation with journalist at the moment to make a national publication documenting the company's false claims. If nothing else arises from this I am already prepared to start taking legal action in the coming days.

    The experience with the salesman was very positive. He answered all our questions, stayed a long time to answer our questions, and got the information he needed from our PG&E bill so that he could show us a realistic projection of what we would save and how many panels we would need. But the very bad experience was everything after that. The subcontractors through Sunrun were inexperienced. We were not able to get a hold of anyone from Sunrun because COVID was in full effect and everybody was working from home. The local office closed down in Bakersfield, so there was no real point of contact.

    The project managers that we were given were not available, and they were not contacting us. One of them, I never heard from at all. We left several messages on the phone number and emails. There were a lot of problems with the project managers at Sunrun that didn’t do their job. We had a really difficult time with the installation. The installation was pretty shoddy. They had conduit cable on my visible wall. They had put ground rods in my cement in my walking area. They broke 100 tiles on my roof. They had to order the tiles, which took a while to come in. The electrician installed those tiles and when my husband came home, the tiles were really badly placed. My husband asked him why was Sunrun having an electrician do a tile job? The guy told us that they don't have any tile guys that will come out.

    The electrician patched and painted the wall. But he didn't patch the wall correctly and the paint didn't match. It looked like a quilt because everywhere that Sunrun drilled a hole to secure the conduit, they have to patch and paint. So we had multiple little holes patched and painted with multiple different color paints. The electrician told us, “Well, we can't match the paint because this paint is X amount of years old, and the paint that we bought is brand new. So you're not going to be able to match an old paint with new paint.” My husband said, “That's not my problem. You're going to fix this because it doesn't look good.”

    At that point, my husband already called the city of Bakersfield and he got a hold of the people that come out to approve and sign off on everything, and he complained to them. He told them, “I do not want anybody from the city coming out to my house to approve this. It's not done to my liking.” So the whoever comes out to approve everything couldn't come out until we were satisfied.

    Sunrun told us, “Well, if you know a painter, you get the painter, and you have them paint and we'll pay for it.” But my husband told them, “That's not my job, that's your job. Your job is to get the painter and take care of this.” This took about six months. Sunrun ended up finding a licensed painter to come out and patch and paint. They ended up having to paint the whole back wall, which is what they should have done to begin with. Everything was fine at that point. The solar was on, the tile and the conduit were good, and the wall was painted. The next thing that took a long time was getting the switch flipped to get it turned on. It was supposed to happen sometime in November and December at the latest. It didn't happen until sometime in January, that they were able to contact PG&E, and get the authorization to flip the switch.

    Right now, we’re enjoying our solar. It’s an excellent product, and it’s doing what they said it would do. We're trying to learn how to use the app, so that we could figure out what's going on with the app. So far, everything's good now. Hopefully, Sunrun improves their customer service, and people are back in the office and not at home anymore. Everything that we were promised at the beginning of how this would happen didn't come true. I'm not the only person having this problem with Sunrun. There's another person that I know that's having similar issues with Sunrun.

    I got the panels installed in the first part of December. December 6th is when I was considered to be activated, but it wasn't functioning until almost February to get it running proper and right, and online. But the installers neglected a couple spots that were, for safety reasons, could have been addressed a bit better. They were caps over the top of the hot wire lines that are underneath our main power box that were exposed so I had to have somebody come back and take care of it. And it was like pulling teeth because it took months to get somebody to come back out here. And when the guy did come back out here, he’s cool. He got on the phone and he was talking to somebody else, but he said, “Some dumb son of a ** that connected this box didn't cover up these caps.” And I'm out here doing this clear out and pausing, because it's almost two hours from where APS' base is in Phoenix.

    It's a pain in the butt for a $1.50 cap that exposes live wires that could have been prevented, and APS overlooked it. They didn't notice it because it was underneath the box, which is shocking because they could have not passed it through inspection. But they overlooked it and I just wanted to make sure that it was taken care of, because our grandkids run around here and you know how they pick up stuff. They see something, they'll say, “Ooh! It’s pretty! It's got colors!” And I don't want them touching those live wires. Those main live wires are hot. It's about my waist in height. So, it could happen and somebody could touch it.

    The only problem I had is when I call and talk to Sunrun, and I need to make an appointment for somebody to come out here and check this, it took multiple months to get somebody to come out here and to take care of it. And the coordinator is terrible. She's got no business doing what she's doing. Because we had to dig a ditch almost 74 feet in length to our power box to our garage, because you don't put the solar panels on a mobile home. So my husband and I did it. And it saved a contractor coming out here or even for us even to do this, almost $6,000. My husband’s a licensed contractor. He has been doing it for 22 years. And we know how to dig these ditches for people. We just did it ourselves. Otherwise, we would have never done it because that would have costed us $6,000 to do it. My husband took the day off and he did it because Sunrun's permit guy wanted this to happen. And we have no problem doing that.

    The coordinator had to have the pictures. I sent the pictures. No response from her whatsoever. I kept emailing the coordinator to say, “Okay. We did it. We took pictures of it.” I had to communicate with the salesperson, and at that point, it's not the salesperson’s job to take care of those situations. It's the coordinator’s job. The salesperson was just to come out here to sell the product to us, set us up, and make us understand how much power we're going to get, and make sure we don't have to pay extra with APS. This salesperson came all the way out here to the house that morning, and we had to have a permit guy come out here and check it multiple times. So, everything got on a standstill.

    It was the worst set of communication I've ever done. About 15 times in one month I had to call to try to get ahold of somebody. That's the only unprofessional aspect of the whole deal. I understand when things don't get done right away. But I thought, “They’re probably ignoring me now because I'm calling them so much.” But I wanted that covered up and I wanted to know my next step because I was doing exactly everything I was told to do. Taking the pictures and sending it to the coordinator. I had to call the salesperson to turn them into the coordinator. That took weeks for her to respond to that. So I'm pushing the salesperson constantly to help me out with this. Otherwise, I don't know when we would have been able to accomplish this situation. That's how bad it was.

    Besides, I feel bad. I don't mind somebody speaking French. The last guy coming out here, it was comical. But somebody could have been offended by that. We do remodels and Sedona, all over the place. If we walked into somebody's personal home and we start cussing and swearing, that's inappropriate. People need to conduct themselves in a respectful manner. These are little quirks that I would never do at your house if we remodeled it. Or if I had to listen to vulgar language and things like that, that bothered me a bit. Everything else was good.

    The only issue with it is this last month, my power bill was a lot less, because a month before that it was $50 plus the 135 that I'm paying to Sunrun. But I got down to $9.95 at APS, plus my 135, which is awesome because I don't mind paying over the 10 bucks. But I know that you have to even out because during the wintertime, you got less days and sunlight. And in the summertime, that's when we build up our credit. When winter comes next year, I'll be able to have a little extra for it. The only thing I was mainly concerned is that my salesperson did not evaluate me right as far as my not going over the 135. And that Sunrun expressed to me through an email that they would reevaluate me in a year or two, to see where I'm sitting with it.

    Sunrun is great, but there are little things about it that I didn't care much for. Because I pushed my husband into this because I just wanted a more steady bill and to see if this would work out. Plus, it makes the value of our property better. The solar system works great. I'm just hoping things even keel over the summer and I get my build up with what I need to have there, and that I'm getting to where I'm paying only $135. There's only two of us here on this property, and our house, honestly, is a tiny home. It's at 400 square feet and then we've got a big 1,100 square foot garage that we don't turn really any power on. So, we’ve used the same power every year. We've been here for seven years. I know exactly my power bill and how to budget it. But my budget is getting less because of Sunrun, and I love it. But I would like to keep it that low.

    I contacted Sunrun and they went through how much solar I would need and based it on the previous year. Then they checked out the house and did the measurements. A couple of weeks later, they put up the panels and installed them in one day. In the beginning, I wasn't getting the energy they said that my panel would generate. But then they told me that it was because they generate less energy in winter than in summer or spring. So I started January, checked the Sunrun app, and I saw that I'm generating more energy now.

    Sunrun contacted us and we had to get a new roof. They came out and installed the panels. That was great. I got a real bill after a month it got turned on and we got a bill from Sunrun. I did not expect a bill from Sunrun. My husband called our project manager named Mary and she tried to get ahold of us. We ended up calling back on a Saturday and we didn't get ahold of her. We got ahold of some customer service person who was awesome on the phone. He explained to us that because we got turned on in December, we were having a production underrun. That was not surprising because it was winter. We were basically making up the difference. If there's a surplus at the end of the year, that gets sorted out.

    The customer service person said that if got a regular bill, we were to send them the bill. I sent a copy of the bill and sent the complaint. I then got the automated response thing and somebody would get back to me in two days. The house is in my name. But my husband's retired so he has more time to deal with the whole project. I was expecting someone to say, "It's all been taken care of," then something would happen with the bill and the next bill would be normal. Apparently, Sunrun called back on the 15th but did not leave a message. My husband missed the call. They then sent an email saying, "We didn't get ahold of you, so we're closing the case."

    I didn't follow up because I'm busy. I had a vacation last week and we got the normal bill from ComEd and not the adjusted bill. Our system was supposed to have been turned on December 21st. We've been having sunny days but we're not showing that on the ComEd side even though according to the Sunrun app, we should be producing savings. Right now, we're not very happy with Sunrun.

I can see through my app how much kilowatt hour it is doing, but there is an issue with the electricity going into the grid with Xcel. So, Xcel is saying that they don't see anything being produced from Sunrun. I spoke with Sunrun several times but they haven't resolved the issue. I'm unhappy with the project manager.

So I had positive experiences with both of them. Sunrun took care of all the permits.

    The reason why I used Sunrun over their competitors was because one, it's backed up by Costco. If Costco were not been part of it, I would not have made the move with any company right now. If I have a legal issue, I'm gonna go out to Costco. I know Costco has the best of the best attorneys. And they don't play around regarding, "You're not liking it, any product, bring it back. We'll give you a full refund. No worries." I'm sure the attorneys have seen Sunrun's programs because they don't want to take Sunrun also to court, at the end of the day, for a lawsuit.

    Also, because I'm a real estate agent and I'm against solar. I'm in a business of selling homes. Homeowners sometimes abuse the use. But for solar, for some people, if they take that kind of abuse, then it's okay, but they have to pay the price. But when it comes down to selling your home, but the next person does not want solar, then we have a problem trying to sell the property. But Southern California now, and pretty much in the near future, everybody's going to go solar with the rising prices of electricity and everything else. I have a two-story house. I have a pool. So it just makes more sense because I got to keep running my home.

    The sales rep answered my calls. He doesn't disappear like some of these other companies, and there's nobody I could get ahold of. I've been in the industry where customer service is important. Somebody wants to get ahold of somebody. They don't want to talk to a machine. What's the machine gonna do? However, Sunrun needs to have more priority under installation.

    I don't mind people coming to my house and working, doing their thing, but they should not smoke a cigarette on my roof. Second, don't throw cigarette butts in my flowers. I didn't complain because I didn't want to go through this process. Because one guy was good and the other guy just didn't care or that's how they are at home anyway. Because he threw a cigarette butt, that tells me a lot about him and how he is living. So, every time I have to go out there and clean, and I inspect my surroundings, I find cigarette butts. I don't smoke myself, so why should I have cigarette butts from a clown coming over here working in my property? And he's just gonna throw it anywhere, especially when he's on top of my roof. I come from an industry where I gotta be professional and respect somebody's property.

    Sunrun needs to be aware and they need to do classes regarding you go to somebody's house, you respect. You don't drink or smoke or anything on top of the roof. If you're going to do that, then you need to do it on your break or lunch and away from the house. Because what if the house burned down? And if you broke something, don't stay quiet about it. I had other couple more tiles broken and they didn't say anything. I have a tile roof. So if it rains, I'm going to have an issue. They didn't even report it even to who their supervisor was. But it took me to go up there and check and inspect. If I never saw that, we just have some horrible rains, I would have had a leaking roof, when I've been in this property for a year and never had a roof leak when it rains. But of a sudden, there's a roof leak. So obviously, who has been working on my roof? Sunrun.

    I called a representative and he took care of it right away. But all I got was, "I'm sorry. Let's take care of it." But this solar thing didn't cost me $5,000. It cost 30,000 some bucks that if I would have never purchased it, Sunrun doesn't have a job and referrals. Buyers and clients beware. Look at this, so that it doesn't happen to you. There are good employees and bad employees. Sunrun is gonna get a 25, 25, 25 all the way around, out of 100. Because that one 25 is gonna be the good, but they got 75, they drop in the sea level.

I also decided to check on my usage and how much it’d been costing me and I've got a credit right now. It's been wicked.

    The enrollment process with Sunrun went good. The person I spoke with was Nathan, and he kind of explained the different options that we had available through Sunrun. He answered all my questions. He pretty much put out all the scenarios as far as how it would work and how definitely it would be saving us money. So, he was very knowledgeable.

    The system has been working properly. I did notice that I'm still getting Edison bills, and Nathan is helping me and is looking into that. He did request me to send over the latest two bills that I’ve been receiving from Edison. He did mention we would be at a point that we would be getting, if anything, credits from Edison. I did see the Edison bill go down, but we’re still getting billed. Last month, it was a little bit on the higher end. Nathan is investigating that.

    The sales rep I talked to had a very positive attitude and provided me with all the information. They even got us with an appointment that day. It just sucks because we're in Twentynine Palms and they had to come out from Yucca. But the rep came out and had a conversation with us. Then, we got everything set up and it was really fast.

    When they installed the panels, they forgot important pieces and they had to drive an hour and a half away to get the pieces and then come back. They ended up cutting the power off early. It delayed everything. The two techs, besides the fact that they left important pieces, went together to go get it in a van, which seemed unnecessary. Also, one of them dropped a potato wedge in our front yard and our dog who has stomach issues got it but luckily, we stopped her from eating it. And somebody knocked over their Red Bull and left it there. I told them to clean it up and the electrician was the one who did. The electrician was awesome all around. They didn't get done till it was almost dark and once they got the panels up, there were a few that looks high or low or weird so they jumped back on the roof and fixed them all. The quality of work was good and they cleaned up after themselves. I just didn't like that they forgot parts for a job that was scheduled in advance.

Other than that, the installers did a good job. I had some panels up on the roof for my heated pool and the person that did the layout did not compensate for that.

    Sunrun took six months from installation to turning on the switch and they said it was inspections that had to do with problems with the county. But I was thinking why they didn’t have better communications and connections. Because as the customer, I don't care where the problem is. You need to fix it. So, I was not pleased that they could not deliver their service until six months from the time they installed it. Another thing is that the app they have doesn't give you all the information that's nice to have. So, it would be nice to see the app saying how much is being produced on a monthly basis and tell you how much it is for a day. But there's no way for you to get aggregate data on a period or range like the last seven days or 30 days. They give you daily data. So, that needs to be changed. Still, the sales rep was very good, and the installers were subcontractors but they were great.

    The process of enrolling started off pretty good. I sat on the phone with a sales rep for three hours discussing plans and it was a good experience. Then, within a couple of weeks, I had my initial survey. But there were some modifications that needed to be done to my roof or a vent, which they subcontracted out. When I talked to them, they said that it would take a few weeks but it wound up taking months for the subcontractor to come out and perform the work.

    I kept on getting different excuses and I didn't hear anything for a month. Every time I would try to call, I would get some runaround. It turned out that my original sales rep had accepted a different position and stopped working on my case. I got a new project manager and the communication improved. But I didn't get the roofing contractor out here until October, the panels installed until November, and the system activated until December. When I made the initial call in the middle of June, it should have been installed somewhere in July and activated in August.

    Then, I was supposed to get $1,000 since I'm leasing the solar panels and I've yet to see that money. I used to have good communication with my sales rep but I failed to maintain that communication once her job was done. I would text her asking where that money was and if there was anything I needed to do. She would respond that it should be coming but it hasn't. I texted her and she didn't respond for like two weeks. The $1,000 gift card is the only reason why I stayed with Sunrun because I had already invested the time into getting the solar panels. The panels and cells are doing their job, but as far as the customer service, it's been awful. It's been the worst experience I've ever had as far as dealing with a corporate company to come out and install stuff and provide a service.

    The experience was pretty good when I signed up. The sales representative was very helpful and knowledgeable. The installation was a little lengthy and the contractors rushed it through and left paint drops on the concrete. But other than that, everything went pretty good. When we spoke with the representative to install the panels, we made sure to get enough panels to cover future installations I was gonna have of appliances. But I don't see the coverage of panels being able to keep up with that. So I still see myself paying on top of my monthly with Sunrun.

    Right now, I have an open case for a problem regarding my referral rewards. We were referred by another individual and Sunrun department made a mistake. They sent the reward to us instead of to the person deserving the reward. So I had to call last month on the 20th, and I spoke to a bunch of people.

    The installers did great. They got it all hooked up. They did a nice job running the wires and attaching them to the house and the panels. Everything worked really good. I was in construction so I kinda knew what to look for. I was real happy with their workmanship. But the customer service has been horrible. They don't get back to you. They don't follow up when they say they're gonna. They don't explain the system and how it's going. It took three months to get the system hooked up. Somebody kept dropping the ball. I would call, and they would finally come out again and fix whatever it was. They finally get the power company to okay it. The next day, I get a call from their collections department, wanting to know why I was behind on my payment. I wish I would have never paid it.

    Now, I call them to come out because the system isn't working. But they won't come out. Nobody ever shows up. I just got off the phone with the rep about 10 minutes ago and again, I was promised that someone would get ahold of me today about the issues here. They told me that about four times already and nothing ever happened. It's a shame because I researched Sunrun and I thought they were a good company. I had been pretty positive with people, some of the neighbors coming over, asking about it when they see we had it put in. But the office people have screwed it up. They won't take care of it. It's no way to run a business.

    I called Sunrun yesterday and told them the battery didn't work and it wasn't producing any solar. The technician I got ahold of told me, “Oh, no. You're over-producing.” But I was not over-producing. I could see the meter and it was going forward all the time. I got on the Sunrun app, and it showed that it was shut off from 11:30 till 5:00 at night. Then it looked like somebody threw a switch and turned it back on. But by that time, it didn't produce very much, but at least it showed that the battery charged a little bit.

So then they had a representative contact me and he was super easy to deal with. He completed virtually 90% of the paperwork that had to be done. Then, they sent somebody over who did the inspection and made sure that it was right for the house. After they did that, they said it would work good for me and again went over all kinds of information where I didn't have to do mega research. They provided so much for me. They also took care of the hookups, dealing the county, and getting the permits.

    As for the installation, it went super quickly. They did a great job on cleaning up with everything and I had some special requests. There's an electrical line that has to come off the roof down to the main power panels and I wanted it to match the house. They took care of all of that and it was great. We’ve got a little cabin we just purchased and I’ve got the process again going right now to get solar eneger over there.

    Other than that, I wanted to give my salesperson a shout out because he was awesome. His name was David and if you don’t have solar on your house, call David up. You will not regret it. We're saving hundreds and hundreds of dollars a month right now and considering when I put my panels in last year on our main house, the amount that we've saved has been incredible. And electrical rates are going up too. We're paying 12.2 cents per kilowatt hour and now it's up to 16. So you're talking about a huge jump.

    Sunrun was a lease instead of an owned and it sounded like a good deal at the time. The installers put the panels around the first part of December or so. Then there was an issue saying it was United Power’s problem. United Power came out and even though there was nothing wrong with the box, they went ahead and replaced it. Two or three weeks later, I called customer service saying it was still not working and I still don't see anything on my app. They said they would send somebody out. Two weeks later, no one came out. Another week later, no one came out.

    I contacted the rep. The rep contacted somebody higher up in the installation area. They sent somebody out and he said that it was United Power’s problem again. They didn't have anything to do with it. That was around mid to late January. Then I contacted my rep again. He said he would escalate this. February 5th, the guy came out and said, “Oh, our installers just dead-ended something in the panel. That's why it would never work.” We got it running in February 5th. But then I got a bill for January in February. I was asking them for a refund and they said something about a guarantee and I would get a refund in two years. They said it was in the contract. I have no clue. I didn't read the whole contract. But I guess I should because I feel like I'm getting screwed now.

    In the meantime, I've been paying my full United Power bill which was 120, 130. I figured, with my 50 something dollars a month, I'd be saving money. Well, not yet. I'm still in the very early process and I don't know if I'm gonna see a return. I've tried to do my homework and see what's going on.

    The solar panels work by itself and you have to do nothing. It's a little expensive but once it's paid off, that's when you're gonna start to see the benefits of having solar panels. But they are supposed to bring down your electric bill and it technically hasn't ever since they've been installed. From what I was explained, it could be because it was installed during the winter month and there's not a lot of sun. Ever since I've had it installed, my electric bill has tripled and sometimes quadrupled. I was paying 170 and ever since that, the bill went up to 500.

    I'm trying to still give the solar panels a shot. I've heard people who pay low. So, I'm trying to see if it's during winter. Also, I'm a first-time homeowner and I'm trying to do different things in my own house in regards to my heating because it's also electric. So, I'm trying out new things to see if it could be that it's my fault before I make a final decision. I've always wanted to get solar panels because at the end of the day, if it's my doing as to why the bill is coming high, then I can fix that. If it's not, then I go back to before I had the solar panels.

    The customer service was great. They helped me out and explained everything. They were very nice and cleaned up, even after they installed everything. They even updated some stuff for me to bring it up to code. When I was driving myself crazy trying to figure things out, I called Sunrun and they explained to me what could be the cause for my bill being so high. They try to take care of you and help you out in any way that they can. I would definitely recommend Sunrun. My daughter's godfather has been asking me and I've told him what's been going on. I explained to him that it could be because of winter. Plus, I have electric heating that can be so high. I've been upfront. My wife called me 30 minutes ago and she told me that our bill lowered this month. It's still 500 and something, but it's not 626 like it was for last month. Hopefully, with what I'm doing at home with the heater and everything else, it turns out that the solar panels work out.

    I received a bonus for signing up and Sunrun's reps explained everything. But right now, my panels are not really making the energy. It's too low for my house. I called them and they said it was because of the season. It's cloudy for that and we need to wait until summer. Aside from that, I paid around $130 before for my electric bills and right now, I'm paying almost $200.

    Sunrun came over a month ago now for a wellness check. The reps created a surge for some reason and it messed up our air conditioning unit. They still haven't fixed it. So, we haven't had our AC for over a month. They came by a few times. They were able to fix the heater but not the compressor, which is what I'm waiting on now. So, the experience is not going too well. But everyone's been professional. It's just a long process and they take a while to get back to me.

    It took me a year to get my solar turned on, which is ridiculous. I called my representative and told her that if I didn't have my solar turned on by March 31st, I want her to come over and take her stuff off my roof. And if she does any damage to my roof, I'm going to get an attorney and sue her for damages. So, I'm going to get an inspector to check it out. Within three days, Sunrun had my solar turned on. They kept blaming it on PNM.

    I have a lot of health issues and I need my electricity. I'm paying 150 a month for PNM and I'm paying $50 a month for Vivint. But now, Sunrun took it over. They finally claimed it had been turned on. I had my wife go out and flip the switch and there's a green light on the box, which is an indication that it's on. But I won't know until I get my next bill. I'm supposed to be paying $32 plus tax a month and then it’d go up 2.5% a year. But I'm paying $200 a month. I'm 79 years old on Social Security and it's terrible. So, I had to use a threat to get them to do something about it and it's not right. I would not recommend anybody to get Sunrun, not through my experience.

    We had a little bit of hiccups initially because of the way that the conversation was going, we were thinking of getting the solar batteries as well. The first representative we spoke with was saying that if we didn't get the battery right now, then there won't be an opportunity to put that on later on. But then, trying to figure out where exactly to put the batteries in the house was a problem. We didn't want it to be right at the entrance of the house because that's where we have all of our power and electrical. So we didn't want the side of the house to be too tampered by installing all these things. We eventually spoke with Sunrun and they said that they can do a plan where we don't have the battery right now, but if we want it in the future, we could add it on. So we went with that option. In making that decision, the process took much longer than it should have because there was a lot of back and forth and the communication wasn't so smooth.

    The installation was pretty good. The first time the installers came in, we hadn't decided where exactly we wanted to put it. So they showed up and they told us where exactly things would go and told us to cut off the plants that were in the area. So we did that and then they showed up, and within a few hours, they were done. Sunrun has been very honest and transparent with the whole process. The installation looks clean and tidy. We got the installation done in the middle of the winter. On the days when it's sunny, I see that in the app we are getting more power. But the offset hasn't been big enough to where it actually makes a dent into our electrical bills yet. I'm hoping that in the summer, it will start to happen.

    We already had one with another company and I wasn't very happy with the performance of the unit. But because I had purchased that, I had to stay with it. Talking to Sunrun at Home Depot, they convinced me into trying them. They came over and checked it all out, gave me a quote, which I was very happy with, they put 12 more panels in there, and I was able to lease instead of buying, which was a better incentive for me. Although, my payments are still up there just like my power bill was, I figured, in time, I can get that taken care of. But as far as that goes, for right now, I'm very happy with the way things are running.

    The people were very upfront with what was going on. If I had any questions, they'd answer me and whatnot, so I wasn't left out and left in a cold field then figure out what was going on. When they got done, I drug my feet after, everybody came over, did everything. Then I got messages to turn the power on and they would send somebody to do that. I went there in February and threw the switches.

    When I got my first bill, I was kind of shocked because it was $177. Like, "Wow. Okay." It was because we were offline and I drug my feet, so that was on me. The next bill we got was $13, which was just a meter reading from Nevada Power so I was contented with that. We'll see what goes on. The summer is not here yet and we haven't changed anything from what we normally do. All-in-all, I am very happy with the situation with the way things are going right now with Sunrun.

    We've had a ton of issues with Sunrun over the past few months. The process of installation was a complete mess and it kept on getting delayed because somebody dropped the ball along the way. We started this process in June and we didn't get the installation done until October. Then, when they had the system installed, they couldn't turn it on. I don't think they turned on the system until November. It was such a frustrating process and a lot lengthier than they anticipated. A lot of things didn't go as smoothly as we expected.

    Also, we had a billing issue from the very beginning. There was a promotion that the sales representative gave us, which was six months for $1 a month, and she put all the paperwork in. But for some reason, they were still billing me the $99 a month. There's only one number I could call the customer service and I was on hold forever. Nobody could help me. They said they had handled it but it had been ongoing since December. But the sales rep we work with has been great and she reaches out as much as she could. She has no obligation to help after everything got installed but she was texting and calling me. She did the best she could.

    The issue only got resolved recently and then, I got an email saying that I'm $7.50 past due, which makes no sense because I have a $23 credit on my account. I'm so tired of it. They finally fixed the billing issue after three months and it's not even fixed because I'm still getting emails that we're past due with something. I don't know that I would recommend Sunrun to anybody else because I wouldn't want to put forth the kind of experience that we had.

    The enrollment was all right. There were some gray areas that I am now noticing. Sunrun came out and surveyed the area. They installed the panels. My panels don't make power when they're covered in snow. So, a little heads up as to, “Hey, maybe you should keep your panels clean because of the pitch of your roof” would have been fine. If I had a steeper pitch, the snow probably would slide off on its own. But because of a low pitch on my roof, the snow tends to stick. So, every winter, I'm used to going up on my roof, shoveling snow off. That's fine. But it's when my entire roof is covered in solar panels and I have to be gingerly pulling it off, then it becomes kind of an issue. And it's more time-consuming.

    And as far as with the breakdown of the pricing, the number the rep kept giving me which interested me was, “With everything, it's gonna be 140 bucks a month for your electric bill.” I don't know if he meant that that was an average over the year. So, if my panels aren't making power and they're covered in snow, I'm not saving any on my electric bill.

    In December, my bill was 92 bucks. In the wintertime, it's normally 150. The big thing for me is in the summer. When I'm running my air conditioners or I'm running my pool pump, my bill is normally 350. So, in the summer, if it's only gonna be 100 bucks, that's fine. But the thing is the rep just kept telling me that my bill would be $140 a month. Maybe I didn't read the print fully where it said, “Hey, if your panels are covered, you're not making power. You're not deducting energy from your electric bill.”

    My last electric bill was 450 bucks for the month, because I was under the impression that I can go ahead and plug in my electric heater so I can heat my woodshop. I was doing a bunch of work. And my panels were covered in snow. Now, my bill is outrageous. It's double what it normally is. So, I was pissed about that.

    The rep made some promises to me and he hasn't followed through with that, so I tried to contact them yesterday. And to their understanding and on my account, the promises he made to me have yet to be documented. So, that didn't go over too well with me either. And when I called him yesterday, he told me he was in a meeting and he would call me right back. But he never did. His voicemail is full, so I can't leave him a voicemail. And he only seems to respond to me when he wants to.

    I use Sunrun's app to see when I'm making power. One of the other issues I had is that my internet went down and I had to switch out routers. And when I did, it disconnected my panels. So, my panels weren't communicating with Sunrun. And I had no idea about it. Sunrun figured it out and called me 30 days later. So, there was another hiccup in the system because they had to come out and reconnect my Wi-Fi to the system.

    I've had a good experience with Sunrun. The guys who came and installed those stuff were great. They did it in a timely manner. They were clean and were respectful. They did a great job. I referred Sunrun to a couple of people. One of my friends is going through with an install in the spring. So, I was, “Oh, that was nice to see.” The other thing is that my contact who essentially pitched me the whole thing said, “Being that you’re gonna get $1,500 incentive for going through with all this stuff.” The way he made it out to be is I would receive two prepaid credit cards for the amount of $1,500. I have yet to see those. And there's nothing on my account that even says that that's going to happen. That is what annoys me about the whole situation. I was after just the aspect of saving money on my electric bill. And I like the fact that I didn't have to shell out 30 grand for all these panels. That was the big thing for me.

    The whole process with Sunrun was horrible. The guy that came told us stuff that doesn't exist, then he dropped the ball and didn't tell us the rest of the stuff that was supposed to happen. When they did the installation, they damaged my roof because they put holes in areas where there were no panels. Then, they were supposed to go out and repair it. I had the company do an estimate because the house is brand-new, but they never came back and repaired everything. They also never followed back up to give me a call. The whole process took from the end of August all the way to three weeks ago. We had no idea what the next step was and we wound up not paying the electric bill because I thought it was going over to solar. But it wound up going over to solar four months later.

    I had to threaten Sunrun to have the reps come take the solar panels off of my roof in order for them to even communicate with me about anything. I still don't know if my roof has been completed and repaired because I asked them to send me pictures of the repairs but I have not gotten a call back from anybody and nobody knows what anybody is doing. Everybody drops the ball. I asked for a manager to call me back four times, but I never got a call from a manager. Then, they tried to fix it after I asked them to remove the solar panels. Aside from that, the information that I got from the electric company, my NV Energy, is completely different than what Sunrun explained to me. So, I wouldn't advise them to be with anybody. I'm going to give them until the end of the month to try to contact me back. If they do not contact me back about what's being done, I'm going to just sue them because my whole roof was destroyed.

    My wife and I had been talking about solar for years. One day, I got on my phone and I started looking up and Sunrun popped up. I started talking to a gentleman named Patrick that made everything sound perfect. He made me believe that I'd get 1,000 and I'd get another 700 for anybody I'd recommend. I wasn't interested in that part of it. I was more interested in the solar part, getting all hooked up, and he was great. One day, he called me up about the time they were gonna put the solar on the roof saying I couldn't talk to him anymore. For some reason, I didn't know what. I tried to call him back a few times and he won't answer. I had all kinds of questions and was left in the dark. Then the installers came and put the solar on the roof.

    Now, I'm getting no information or bills. I talked to my daughter-in-law about it and she checked my email on my phone and she found that we were in collections. There were no phone numbers on all of the emails I've been sent to. My wife found one, and it hooked us up to some dude in a foreign country, who told me that I have to prove to him that I was offered $1,000. That pissed me off. The only reason I brought that up to him is that I'm in collections. I asked him repeatedly to just connect me with the bill to pay the bill. 45 minutes, we were on the phone and I said, "Forget it," and just hung up.

    My credit is perfect, and now, I got all this mess, and it's somewhat our fault. My wife and I are not really computer whizzes. We wanted everything to come in the mail instead. If I'm behind in the payment, I need to get everything caught up, and that's no problem. It's just that I don't know where to do it. I was never concerned about the $1,000, but now I'm in collections and if this affects my credit, I will get ahold of that Patrick and I will demand that amount that he promised me. I tried calling him yesterday and his phone went to voicemail and, at the time, I didn't want to leave a message. Also, I have no idea if having this is saving or costing me money. I get no feedback. I still expect this to all be worth it. But it's getting a hell of a start going here.

    They did what they said that they were going to do and when they said they were going to do it. So, that was nice. The fact that they gave me realistic timeframes is key. Our true-up was projected to be the same as the previous year of 1,600, but that was cut in half to 800. That's wonderful, considering that was only in the last four months of the year to make up all that energy. We've only had a brownout or sometimes the clock was reset, but you could still have lights and refrigeration. So, that’s good.

    It went well with Sunrun and the panels are working great. However, the deal with the government incentives wasn't explained thoroughly enough. I bought a big system worth over $70,000, and the government rebate was supposed to be something like 18,000 that's broken up between three years. You don't get that incentive right away and I don't know how it works. The sales guy, Jermaine, was great. I just wish he would have had been more knowledgeable on the incentive part.

    We have had an open case for them to fix our panel since Feb 2021. It’s now one year. No one responds to emails, phone calls, messages. Although their billing department works diligently to charge us every month. I’m not sure what to do. I’m thinking of hiring a lawyer.

    The enrollment went very smoothly. They were very kind and efficient. They were very professional too. They followed up and followed through. Every time they have a change of employee, they let me know. The process itself was not easy because they had to go and check my house and there was engineering stuff. But they did everything themselves. I didn't have to follow up. I just sat back and relaxed. The installation went back and forth because of the engineering. After the engineering was done, they installed the system smoothly. Once they installed it, they found something that doesn't show as precise as what it did with the satellite. But in the end, they were able to fix it and do the best they can. All in all, the experience I had with them installing all that was nice. Sunrun is a great company.

    The system is good. But we are still paying the same monthly electric bill even though we had the solar. Also, Sunrun said the backup battery is not working properly and that it's gonna be four weeks to receive the backup battery. Then as soon as they receive the backup battery, they will come install it right away. But until now, they never called me yet.

    I made an appointment with the person at Costco and they called me back. We set up a date and they did the installation. We needed a new power box so they put that in. The installation went pretty smooth. They had to wait for it to be inspected. It got inspected and we were off and running. It went fast, which I'm glad it did. They said it was gonna take six to eight weeks. It was actually four. I’ve told a few people that if they're gonna decide to do it, to go to Sunrun.

    From the beginning, the guys that I talked to, that turned me over to the person that was doing all the planning, it was a great experience. The guys that did the installation were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. They did a great job. I was totally satisfied with the installation. Right now, I still have 178 kilowatts in my credit after the first couple full months. So the system is at least producing all that I need and a little bit excess. It was a great experience.

    The sales rep was very consistent and persistent, but it was persistent in a good way. It took about a year before I decided to move forward with him. He followed up consistently, but he was not bugging me about it. He worked around my schedule and his whole attitude throughout the whole experience was phenomenal. I liked the way that the process was explained, but it was more so the no-pressure environment. There was quite a bit of paperwork, but it still was not as complicated as I thought it would be. Having the panels put up was amazing as well. They scheduled me and moved me up earlier than expected, which was good. They got in and out in four hours. They cleaned up everything too. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with Sunrun. I recommended my neighbor and he also got Sunrun installed.

    Last year in Texas, a bunch of rich people moved over here and tried to set up factories, but it kind of tapping to the overall grid. My house was affected, periodically. I did the calculation with the low interest rate going with Sunrun and even though I pay a lot, at a low interest rate of 1.49, it got me sold. Working with Sunrun was very pleasant. The lady called me quite a few times and updated me. The lead guy came over to smooth out things with the HOA and with the power companies. There was always very prompt response, email or phone call.

    The installation took about five months but it could have been handled about three months. I was waiting and they were waiting. I kind of forgot about it in the middle and I should have reached back a little bit more. But once we got everything in motion, everything went pretty smooth. The follow up, the workmanship, the work ethic were very good. Sunrun's finance is fantastic too. There's not a whole lot of out-of-pocket to pay. From $120, I’m paying probably $15 for collection fee which is not a bad deal. The payment is a little bit bigger than my current electrical bill but when the next thing happens, I will be prepared for electricity.

    Everybody who has a solar system has a battery. But in my own case, Sunrun's telling me, "The house cannot carry a battery." Then later, they came back to say, after six months, they will see if they can give me one. I don't know why they couldn't install the battery for me and why they said that latter one. It was quite confusing, but it is what it is. Then my bill went from 100-something dollars to 300, and this month it's 400-something. I called and they said that it's connected to the grid and it's the amount of power I'm using, so I'm trying to cut down on a lot of things because, with the solar panels, it should be lesser, but it's not, although probably because the sun energy is not enough. I'm still observing it. This might be working for some people. But I haven't seen any positive thing because my bill is higher. I was thinking I will pay a lower energy cost in terms to pay for the solar panels that were installed.

    When we signed up in October, we were told we were going to get a $650 Visa card, and that hasn't shown up yet. We had to call back because Sunrun said that they sent it before, and then they said it's gonna be an additional three weeks. They just got through installing the panels on January 5th. They told me I could visually see what the work was. But unfortunately, they forgot to do that. They had to come back out and we had to do that together. They actually show a monitoring device as to what it is that we're saving and what our energy storage is. We were then told that the price of our electricity would go down and that it would be at an average of $132.24. What they did was they composited the data of how much the bill was, and then they averaged it out on what would be savings and what the kind of bill would be monthly. We just haven't had one yet.
