Sunrun Reviews

We are currently paying more per month after signing a contract with this company. And told if we would like enough panels to cover the actual amount of solar we need we would be required to sign an additional contract at another 20 years... Absolutely horrible. We are so sorry we did not research this better.

This company is misleading and has terrible customer service. When the salesperson was at our home, we made it very clear that our plan in the short-term was to rent out our home and this solar agreement/billing would need to transfer over to the renter. We were told that would not be an issue, that Sunrun had an entire team dedicate to service transfers. What he didn't say was that they will only transfer it to another homeowner, not a renter. And, because they won't transfer the solar portion, the electric company that we have to use for the remainder of our power will not transfer service to the renter either. So, we have over $300 in solar and electric bills that are in our name, and we have to hope every month that the renter will pay us back for these expenses in a timely manner, potentially affecting our credit or cash flow.

I recently became aware of squirrels nesting under the solar panels from the sounds of the scratching on the roof. I got the same nonsense reply as Eric of Colonia, NJ, wait for damage to the system. I asked to be escalated to a supervisor who repeated the information. I can't continue to be subjected to the clawing and scraping on the roof and it is a matter of time before the squirrels penetrate the roof. I asked to be escalated again to her supervisor and I was refused. I was told they used to install Critter Guard but the policy was changed a year ago and now they would send me a quote. There goes any financial benefit of solar. The environment was created by the installation of the panels and it's a known issue as you have the Critter Guard solution.

I am not an electrician, nor am I a professional in anything electricity related. But I do know bad customer service and poor business practices. Ever since I've had Sunrun installed in my house, I've already had... now let's count... 30 power outages. This is not over several years, but since February of 2017! That's 3 months folks! I've had Sunrun technicians look at the situation, and even the local electric co, who still provide us with a nice bill every month, to come and inspect our clearly faulty unit. Sunrun's observation? Didn't hear a word from them. They didn't even get back to me. Strike one. They simply looked at the unit, and flew back from wherever they came from. I can not comprehend how a business like Sunrun can afford to carry on this way!

Pigeons and squirrels have been nesting under my solar panels. I could not find a company that would fix the problem because they were afraid of damaging the solar panels. But the people who did come out for an estimate did say they expect either the panels to be damaged and or the roof to be damaged because of the significant infestation and recommended I contact Sunrun immediately to correct the problem. I contact Sunrun and was told I would have to pay $1,800 for a CritterGuard to be installed thereby wiping out any potential solar savings I would ever get from the panels. I explained this was a lease and they were responsible for maintenance as it says in the contract. The sales rep agreed but said that only covers damages, so if I want sunrun people to come out I have to wait for my roof and/or panels to get damaged by the animals then they would come out.

When we had our panels installed about 6 years ago, we did our due diligence and had our roof checked before getting panels installed. Unfortunately, due to a manufacture's defect in the shingles, we are having to replace our roof much sooner than the 20 years expected (the life of the solar lease). When we first got our panels, we were told by the salesperson that taking the panels off isn't a big deal even if the roof needs to be replaced. Being young and naive, we didn't read the contract carefully enough or compare it to other companies closely enough. Now we not only have to deal with an unexpected $6000 cost for a new roof but an additional $2500 for Sunrun to take off and replace the panels. I wouldn't call almost an additional 50% in the cost of a new roof "not a big deal."

A sales rep in NJ named Justin came to my door, not only was he very polite but the system works great. Not only are the panels way nicer than I thought, but the amount I'm saving on my energy bill is a no brainer! Phenomenal. Highly recommended!

It took almost 2 years to get a system installed. Very friendly people when you call but nothing gets done. No one calls backed when they say they will. Now to present time system is up and running and the billing start the first time. I got a email bill. I got 13 in one day. Each one different amounts from $100 to $1200. Monthly due is $116. The due amount on Sunrun app changes daily. Called and get runaround from the friendly folks on the phone and more friendly folks and on and on. Nothing gets done. They talk and pass you to the next person & on and on talk about "past due". It's the first bill how is it past due (late) on a new system. First bill sent (13 of them) due end of this month and it's past due. Looking like it's going to be a fight for 20 years. I think solar is a great thing. Just STAY AWAY From SUNRUN! Very friendly people on the phone but they work for a very poor company.

After the panels were installed, we experienced heavy rains. I saw a leak in one of our bedrooms and asked Sunrun to follow up. This is because there was no leaks prior to the installation and nobody went up on the roof. The technician who came went to attic and roof, said that he could not see anything as it was not raining. They asked me to call them back when it was raining. I followed up on rainy day and two technicians came the day it was raining. They arrived late and it's raining very heavily so we agreed with a handshake that they would send a roofer to inspect and that Sunrun would pay for it. This was in November. Now Sunrun is refusing to do anything and has closed the ticket and informed me that I was liable. What was the evidence that led to that decision? That is not clear. Sunrun has not kept its word. I will also inform Costco about the poor follow up and Sunrun not keeping its word.

My husband was told by the "Salesman" from Premier Solar, that we would get money back because of our location and the amount of solar energy that our Sunrun panels would produce. Panels were installed at the beginning of November 2016. I just paid APS approximately $75 for my March electric bill. This payment, along with the cost of our monthly solar panel lease from Sunrun, exceeds $250, which is more than what I was paying APS per month WITHOUT SUNRUN's SOLAR PANELS. I called so called "Salesman". He said to just email him the information and he would take care of it because obviously something was wrong. NOTHING is being done. Haven't heard a thing from the salesman or from SUNRUN to investigate. Sunrun solar is a SCAM.

The issues with Sunrun started when they reinstalled my existing panels and installed new ones. They improperly installed my old system, leaving it inoperable. They came back and reinstalled it. A few months after I got them installed, I received my weekly summary of power usage from the electric company to learn that my energy usage went from -62KW the week before to 84KW that week. I learned that the new system tripped the power breaker on the electrical box. I called Sunrun and they returned my call to tell me that they were opening a ticket.

Installation etc was spot on. Even got it installed early. Every month I was getting an electric bill over $100 and the sales fellow cut me a check for 2 months of overages saying he calculated wrong. For the first 3 months of 2017 I have paid $400 more for power than I did in 2016. Emailed SunRun and the rep with no response. Buyer beware. You will most likely pay more for power. NOT cheaper than regular power company.

I signed up with Sunrun for my solar energy. Every step of the way everything was an urgency. They made promises that they would give a $250.00 visa gift card if I got my energy bills to them by a certain date which I did. However I never received the Visa gift card. I keep being told 3-6 weeks and I will have it. Well so far nothing. Also my installment billing was suppose to be $73.00 per month that is what my paperwork says. However I got a bill for $85.00. When I called they said sign up for auto pay and my bill will go down to $73.00. This is something I wasn't told in the beginning. I wish I could get those Solar Panels removed. They are liars and I don't trust them now. I'm going to do everything in my power to get their solar panels taken off my house. I don't want to deal with years of deceit.

I have had my system on my roof for 3 years and my roof is already deteriorating. I need to replace the roof and SunRun will not pay for the panels to be removed and replaced. There was never a discussion by the SunRun sales person or a site survey performed on my roof. I have called SunRun 5 times and I'm always told I would receive a call back which I never do. I was not asking for them to replace the roof, just remove and replace the panels, which should have never been installed on a roof that would not last for the 20 year agreement. All they keep saying is the roof was not damaged by SunRun during installation, which I'm sure is a company line. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND doing business with this company. After you sign on the dotted line you're on your own.

I am in the process of purchasing a home in Surprise, Arizona that has a Sunrun leased system. The owner has called them twice and they never returned the calls, so they asked me the buyer to try. I called today and the person I talked to said, "Oh yes, I see there is a ticket open and messages to call you." She said she was "surprised the guy handling this hasn't called you yet, but he isn't in yet today." (1030 am) She said, "Let me send an email to his supervisor." I said, "Let me give you my number." She said, "No, we have it from the last time you called." I told her I have never called. "We have it," she said. So, she was just blowing me off. So, I will be contacting them on regular basis several times a day until someone returns my call. Both real estate agents involved will be going through the lawyers to see if there is anything their lawyers can do. All in an effort to do the right thing. What a shame!

On January 23, 2017 my roof started to leak significantly. I called Sunrun and informed them of the situation. Since then, they have sent several different contractors out to either look at or repair what they think is the problem. At no time did they remove their solar panels to make sure it wasn't coming from them. Last contractor said he was recommending a new roof replacement and Sunrun would be in touch. That was 3 weeks ago and no response from anyone despite several calls and emails to the company. Now I am stuck in limbo with a damaged leaking roof and close to 22,000 in interior damages. So much for their 100% guarantee of fixing any damages that are caused due to their installation of solar. Customer service is terrible and no one seems to care about the situation. Bad business practices and ethics.

So far product & service accurate as described. Friendly, consistent contact from first meeting. Timely setup. Always notified us ahead of time of step just completed & what step was next in process. Contact was both email and a real live person to talk with. Promptly answered any questions we had at any stage of the process.

Leonard, Matt, & Brandon were awesome! The process was long, 2+ months but was made up by finishing in 2 days. Constructive criticism would be to be better at communicating the timeline from the Project coordinator, with a phone call at least every 2-3 weeks. We were in the dark for close to 2 months before we heard anything. Other than that all of the staff were very professional and attentive. Thank you!

If all I can do is stop someone from buying into Sunrun, I will count my life complete. It's completely unacceptable how they are so ignorant, I got my solar panels about 3 months ago. I thought I was buying into something wonderful, however little did I know that my solar panels stopped producing energy after the first month and was never even told about the error until about 1 1/2 months ago.

Worst experience with this company, and I just had my solar installed no more than 5 days ago. Had a structure I was not sure if it was permitted when I purchased the house. I was told the company would check on any structures on the house be permitted before moving forward. Lo and behold the structure was not, made it VERY clear with this company MULTIPLE TIMES I would not choose solar over the structure (covered patio), but instead of informing me about the discrepancies I had, they said everything was good to go and went on with the project. Yes the structure was illegal, but they gave me no choice on what I wanted to do.

When we set up our Power Purchase Agreement with Sunrun 5 years ago, installation was done by Verengo. Around the 3rd year, our system stopped producing. My only complaint in this process, is I was the one who caught it almost a month after it stopped because our PG&E true up was higher than it should be. I hope that Sunrun is more diligent at this point in alerting customers when systems go down. That is why the 4 stars and not 5. It took 2 months for the inverter to be fixed but that a Verengo issue. Sunrun worked well with me to "badger" them to get the work done. I am thrilled that Sunrun no longer charges you a true up for producing more than estimated and since PG&E prices are rising quickly and I am using more power with two teenage boys, they are working with me for a secondary system to alleviate my issues. Everyone I have dealt with has been great and professional.

My parents got solar panels. Took 7 months to get it on roof, took 3 months to turn it on and in the mix of all this the first company was sold and Sunrun took over and no one ever informed us. We had to find out by asking why the panels were not turned on yet and now our bill is higher than ever. We are paying up to 800$ a month for a electric bill and that is with the panels running. We are very unsatisfied with the service. We are ready to have them take them down.

We had Sunrun install panels almost five years ago, Philip ** came to the door last year to follow up to see how things were going and how we liked having solar. We have been very happy with the communication and followup. Sunrun notified us one day last year and stated they were noticing a potential concern. The tech walked us through a procedure and determined that a technician needed to personally come verify. He came out the following morning and confirmed the potential problem and resolved it that same morning. We are very happy customers and have recommended Sunrun to several friends.

To begin with the application, planning, permits, installation, and production was professional and excellent. I recommend Sunrun to any person that wants solar. Each and everyone that has a job or a position or performs a function is in my regards a professional and dedicated member. My experience with solar has been quick and efficient.

Before the solar panels were installed I told them I was selling my house. "No worries," they said. "The panels will move with you to the new house." Now they are saying that they can't be removed and if the new homeowners don't want them, I will have to pay. Now I feel like they were just trying to get a sale at my expense. I can't afford a new mortgage and the prospect of paying for a service that I won't be using. I am retired and on a fixed income. My decision was based on them being honest with me. At least I thought they were. Feeling scammed in Vegas.

I was talked into leasing solar panels from a door to door salesman named Paul **. He said the solar panels he would give me for free was worth 30k and would increase my home value by 10 percent. He had me promise to do favors for him after he signed me up for solar, explaining to me that I would be very fortunate and part of a lucky exclusive group of people pulling in huge savings each year. He told me that it was free because the government was paying for it, but only for the first 5 percent of customers and that I had to hurry to act before they reached their quota. He said that they had a contract with my current energy provider Duke Energy in which Duke would be buying back any additional energy the panels produced and that the money would go to me at the end of the year.

I would like to share the excellent experience I had in dealing with Sunrun. I first met Sarah ** my Solar Consultant a few months ago and have to say she has been the nicest, most helpful person throughout the entire process. She has been there from day one and always makes herself available to answer any questions that I have had throughout the process. I have also been really impressed with how Sarah is so knowledgeable and a consummate professional with a genuine desire to ensure that she takes excellent care of us. I have also been extremely impressed with the rest of the Sunrun Team from the Customer Service calls to all of the folks that were involved all the way through installation. I will gladly share my experience with all of my friends and will be recommending Sarah as the Solar Consultant of choice.

Although the system was approved for turn on Feb 1, 2017 and Sunrun reps have made sure, they left us a 3 ring binder with specs etc, there is no production. The response from Sunrun "someone will contact you within 5 days for an appointment." This is unacceptable to me!

My electric bill for the past 3 months have going up. We lease these panels so we're paying Sunrun and also paying the electrical bill which has become well over what our Sunrun bill is. So I'm paying over double. I talked with a service rep that will have a tech out soon. If they cannot fix this problem they can come get this system off my roof. And get some other company in that will take care of their customers.

Since day one nothing but a nightmare with this company. Took 6 months to have panels installed. As soon as they were my circuit breakers kept going off. Losing power each time. Called Sunrun given the run around right off the bat. I was told it was my problem and to hire an electrician and put in a new electrical box. I said you have been evaluating my house for the last 6 months and now after the fact it's my problem. Unreal. Two months back and forth with intermittent electrical power, loss of food in my refrigerator, no use of washer and dryer. Told them to take their panels down. Still getting same bill from PSEG and their bill on top of that. Countless promises they will never keep. Outright lies about energy production. No customer service whatsoever. This company is a nightmare... Stay away.

We purchased Solar system from Sunrun via Costco, you will think a company that Costco choose is trustworthy, how wrong we were. Good: Sales meeting and installation went very quickly, we were showed it will take less than 7 years to get our investment back; and promising the system is guaranteed as long as we own it.

I had our system activated on Nov 30, 2016. It stopped producing on Dec 30, 2016. Sunrun did not catch it until Jan 18, 2017. Since then it's been an endless call with Sunrun and their partner Solar Universe. Your Customer Service do not even have the courtesy to follow up on my behalf. I have to wait 5 days to give Solar Universe to respond (which they did NOT). And since then, I have to call every other day to follow up. Up to now my system is still down. And to add insult to injury. I was billed for December and January. UNSAT! You can keep your referral money.

It took about 6 months for Sunrun to come out and actually install the solar panels and by the time they did install it was the end of summer. Now and less than a year of having panels and it's a really wet winter in California and our roof is leaking in two spots. It's been about 3 months of having pots and buckets in my closet to catch the rain coming in. We had called the first time in November when it first started happening and they said they found the leak and fixed it and then when it continued to leak we called and it took about another month for someone to come back out after multiple calls.

I wrote a review of the Sunrun Denver on Jan 22 2017. After all the problems I encountered with Sunrun, I was contacted by their customer service and was ACTUALLY LISTENED TO! Realizing their mistake and saying so has healed the animosity I felt. My husband and I are very pleased with our solar panels and how they affect our electrical consumption! They are one of the few companies who put wire around the panels to keep the birds out which is truly a GREAT THING!! My complaint was about a one instance, they truly are a good company and have met all the expectations we had!

My experience has been very good, there were a couple hitches in the installation but that was quickly rectified. It is still early in the process as I have not received a bill yet to compare with the before bill. It should be coming soon.

We all can talk about doing something, though our follow through is not always there. I have been interested in going solar for years now, but never got around to taking the steps to do so. About four months ago, I walked into a Home Depot and was approached by a gentleman with an iPad and he asked me if I was interested in solar. Being in the process of building a new home, I said “Yes. Can you walk with me while I go down and look at flooring and you can tell me more?” The young man obliged.

I have been so happy with the current solar project that I have experienced that I have recommended the Sunrun team to two of my friends. I am happy to say that both of them have also contracted with Sunrun for their own homes.

Sunrun promised to us that we will pay only $17.00 with HECO but unfortunately we are paying much if we add the bill from Sunrun. We are not saving money and it's a wrong decisions to have solar in our home.

I am very upset and angry at the customer service that my family received from the energy consultant that came to my home. Gricel ** and another consultant came to my home asking if we were interested in solar panels and offered a no obligation, free estimate to see if it was something we wanted to do. We decided to take the offer and see what the estimate would be so The next day they came back and went over the proposal and took about 15 minutes to explain. I told them I would contact them to see if we decided to install the panels or not but the following day. Gricel came to my home and spoke to another family member since my husband and I were not there. At that point my husband and I had decided we were going to hold off on the installation.

I won't go into the fact that the output we were to receive once installed has never come close to their promise. However, we discovered a leak in our roof well over a year ago and they sent someone out from Helio Power who did the initial installation. He though not a roofer said he fixed it. Being as we don't have much rain here in the desert we didn't know whether the leak was repaired or not but did find it wasn't 2 months ago when we had another substantial rain. Again Helio Power was sent out by Sunrun with them taking pictures and all that. I've had to push for them to get a roofer out here who said yes it was the stanchion from the panel causing the leak. He then noted that it was installed wrong and so were all of the stanchions on the flat part of our roof. He said he'd tell Helio Power which I assume he did but we never heard back.

I purchased a home with Sunrun solar panels in July 2016. I called them the month we moved in to ensure they had our information for our first bill. They told me we had a "credit". I never received a statement, welcome letter or email. In August I called again as I wanted to make sure we did not fall behind on our bill. The representative told me there must have been some "glitch" in the system and they would call me back when they discovered what the problem was. I NEVER received a call or an email.

It was very fast and easy and the customer service agent guy told bunch of jokes to make me laugh and was completely professional and got the job done. The financing was not bad. It was not break the bank expensive and the the solar energy will save us more money long term I thought about. I am extremely happy with the whole experience. It was quick to install and saved me money from solar energy. I absolutely loved it. It was fast and easy and the guy installing it was friendly and told jokes and was professional and got the job done in decent amount of time.

The sales (Jimmy **) came to house and scheduled assessment. From assessment to installation is 1 year and half. We were paying roughly 80 a month and now we are paying more than double. The sale was misleading by telling us we can cancel any time and it should be able to covers our usage. What utility company showing the credit is one tenth of what Sunrun meter says. It is not working. When we called customer services, they say they will call us back. It has been two months, we followed up multiple times, and no one call us back. We now talk a customer specialist (Jake **) who is totally useless, keep pulling "This is the contract and there is no higher manager to discuss with us".

I researched for several months on solar for my home. In the end I went with Sunrun solar. The sales team was great. The install team was topnotch. Even the city electrical Inspector said, "The job was well done." The wiring was done so you don't see pipe all over the house and roof. Besides the panels on the roof the only thing on the outside of my home is a Sunrun meter. Very good job start to finish and it was complete in about 6 weeks with solar up and running.

I've been extremely impressed Sunrun as a company, its innovation and product offerings. I first learned of Sunrun about two years ago and I've become more passionate about solar and alternative energy ever since.

I've been super impressed with Sunrun's communication and attention to detail. They have more concern about quality and what's best for me and my situation than I would expect. A great solar company!

When I signed up for solar I was in a new house. Sunrun based my usage on 5 months and said that this would be sufficient to base my energy needs even though my previous address I used more than double. The representative said they had to have usable roof space. When the installers were here I asked if more panels could be installed I was told it could be more than doubled. It wasn't made clear to me that I would be getting a true-up bill from PGE. Needless to say I was in shock when the bill was $7500. When I contacted customer service I was told I would have to re-apply and have a credit score of 650 or higher. At the current time my score is too low so the company totally screwed me over.

Month 4 into the contract I received a notice from Sunrun, something was wrong with my system and they would send someone out. It took almost 2 weeks for another SUNCONTRACTOR of theirs to go to the house, (HE was told to let me know what it was), never received what was wrong. Today I Got APS (power) bill, it was $521.70 along with Sunrun's bill of $140.00=$661.70 for month of August. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!! I found out the system had NOT worked. That an inverter needed replacing among a few other things - HOW AM I GOING TO PAY THIS BECAUSE OF THEM. DON'T GO SOLAR - Take electric co's budget plan... It also is keeping some house from selling in Arizona. How to get out of a contract? I'm 70 with COPD and can't deal with this.

I was at Costco and noticed a solar panel vendor and spoke with their representative about a free home visit cost estimate to place their solar panels on the roof of my house. The representative told me that they could come by the following morning. I asked him if he was sure as I didn't think this gave their sales people enough time to schedule an appointment. The representative told me that this was no problem so I made the appointment at my house with a face to face with their sales person at 10:00 a.m. the following morning.

Excellent experience. Mitch was our rep. He is fabulous and made the whole process from start to finish very simple. All of our questions, and we had a ton of them, were answered promptly and thoroughly. The installation was done well and the paperwork was very streamline. We've saved a ton every month. Our experience and savings has been well worth it.

I had my house without Sunrun and I was paying about $120 for energy. I got their system and right now I am paying $250 a month. They are charging me $157 a month and I am paying also to energy company about $100. I have called them so they can come and checked their system and they have refused it. Their customer service is disgusting. I was trying to cancel my contract so I will take them to court.

I contacted Sunrun when BGE Home, the company that maintains some of my home utilities, partnered with Sunrun and sent me an email encouraging me to work with them. I called them, they looked at my home on Google Maps and refused to visit or provide an estimate because there was "too much shade". The following week I contacted Solar City. They sent an agent to our home who evaluated and provided us with a very nice contract with over 30 panels and many financing options that certainly will save us money. Conclusion: Sunrun is interested in maximizing profits per installation. Solar City is interested in producing energy.

After several months for the install. The electrical company left notification at the home that the system could be turned on. We did, or thought we did. Has a Sunrun tech on the phone and he confirmed that they had all they needed and the system was up. System still didn't work. 2nd call, they indicated system was down and sent information to re-boot the system. We tried and still not working. 3rd call, this rep now informed us that they have to have a physical letter from the electrical company on file and they hadn't received it yet... Every time you call for assistance you will get a different answer. I would not recommend this company to anyone who expect good customer service.

DO NOT use Sunrun Solar if you plan to ever sell your home. We listed our home and started escrow. The prospective buyer was discouraged after dealing with Sunrun for the transfer and WITHDREW their offer on our home. Buyer number 2 we were in escrow and within 1 business day of closing and AGAIN Sunrun threw a wrench into the works. It came down to one piece of paper that Sunrun refused to release was going to cost us our 2nd buyer! We closed escrow 5/27/16. Sunrun continued to automatically withdraw money from our account. After several attempts for explanation they assured us in writing that was the last withdraw. WRONG! July and another withdrawal.

We have been with Sunrun 4 years. Right after install we noticed that our primary house panels were not producing. It took several phone calls to get a technician out to verify the system was not working. Our latest issue is a roof leak caused by several broken tiles UNDER the solar panels. We have been fighting with Sunrun since February over this issue. Sunrun has sent out several people to look at the roof. Really, how many people do you need to tell you that the leak was caused because of the tiles your installers broke??? They call us back.

I have been a customer of Sunrun for the past 4 years without ever having an issue. Everything ran on time and I have saved over 1800 per year since they turned on the system. Highly recommended.

They setup my system just fine, but I've had my panels on for 3 months now and they don't work, 0 power generation. The customer service department has given me a different story each time, never the same. They refuse to send out a technician. Thankfully I haven't been charged anything since my system hasn't generated any power.

I recently made the mistake of asking Sunrun for an estimate. After reviewing the material I decided not to go with Sunrun, and I sent the salesperson an email stating so. They cannot take No for an answer. I am getting two and three calls per day asking me about my interest in Sunrun. I would never do business with the company.

Easy to talk to. Got my problem solved straight away without any hassles. Best customer service I have ever had by far. Little to no waiting time. Very generous and easy to get financing options. Really liked the simplicity of the program itself. Easy for everyone to understand. Explained in very great detail. Value is great. You certainly get what you pay for. Great overall. Works very well and helps lower monthly bills. So far, no issues had at all. The installation was quick and easy. They came in at a reasonable time as well that worked great what with a busy working schedule. Explained the process as it was happening so I knew what was going on.

I worked with a nice young man who knocked on my door. He talked with me and my wife for about ten minutes to get my bill. He came back later to help us sign up for no money down. We ended up saving money on our PGE energy bill! Recommend to friends!

I have been working with the sales staff at Sunrun, and first told that I was in their territory and we could proceed. Then when I called back I was told that I was not in their territory. Mind you, I have 4 homes I'm trying to get solar for. Then the sales guy calls me back, "good news" he says, "you are in our territory and the design team is working on your project." Again several days go by, nothing from Sunrun, so I call, AGAIN, and salesperson is not in and the guy tries to put me off. Asked for his supervisor, and after a long wait, a guy gets on the phone and now tells me he looked at the address and they can't do my project, even though I was assured their computer was wrong, and the design staff verified they could do the job...

Sunrun will promise at purchase time that they will actively monitor your array. They don't. They promise to maintain your array. They do not. Don't do what I did and do a 100% prepay deal. You'll get stuck calling them when things don't work. They don't have any incentive to keep your array working as you're not paying them for electricity. I lost a whole month of production in 2014. I was stupid thinking Sunrun would actively monitor, they don't. Early this year, I noticed I'm down 4 or 20 panels. I called them and after a month of calling and writing letters. All they have done is sent guys out to confirm my array is damaged and they shut the whole thing off. A month and nothing. Don't do Sunrun. Their service is horrible.

I have Sunrun Panels on my home in Arizona. I am very happy with the entire process. The installation took a couple months longer than I thought, however I believe that was mostly due to the local utility company and my HOA, not Sunrun. My savings are great and my neighbors who went with Sunrun seem very happy also.

We were approached in our local Costco by a Sunrun sales rep who assured us that their company could install solar panels on our stone-coated steel roof. Other solar companies have been very clear that stone-coated steel is NOT a roofing material appropriate for their product, but this rep ensured us that they do it, no problem. We spent 30 minutes at the booth and set up a sales meeting at our home for the following Saturday.

I recently had solar panels installed on my roof by this company after listening to the sales pitch about great savings and zero cost for installation. The design delays and installation delays caused me to miss the window and the Massachusetts net metering cap was reached. Also I have been notified that the transformer on the pole outside my house is not large enough and needs to be changed out before I can be turned on. I am told that this can take up to 6 months. And until the Massachusetts Legislature raises the net metering cap I am dead in the water.

I thought I would get a good company since it's Costco but there were so many dissatisfactions I experienced with SUNRUN. They just want to make their job done as fast as they can and they don't consider my suggestions. They don't get a little history of the solar installed before they come in. Like they thought I have 21 panels working well in fact I have 22 panels so if I wasn't there checking and asking questions then I will have no idea that I will be wasting 1 expensive panel. They also charged me twice the amount of the panels, I was wondering why my interest jumped twice the amount and the bank told me I was charged twice by Sunrun. So I have to call them again and fix the problem. I think they need to improve the quality of their service to avoid mistakes that gives you a bad headache.

Sad to see them with a booth in Costco. I am tempted to stand there and warn anybody who shows any interest that SUNRUN is a terrible company who does not care about their customers. I know I will get a courtesy response to send them my name and address, but the bottom line is they will not do right by you. I have a system that had the inverter break twice. Both times, I found this out by checking my production and notifying Sunrun. One of the times it was out for 2 months!!! They will hide behind the agreement that says they will meet yearly production or refund you, but far be it from them to compensate you for months of NO PRODUCTION!!!

It is high quality. I've never had problems. Certainly recommend it. Served me very helpful. I had tried many brands until a friend recommended it. Already had a positive impact.

I am happy with the product and quality. I will continue to use more solar power products in my home and look forward it. I added a 4kw system to my house a year ago. This dropped my bill by around 88 dollars on average. I am planning to purchase an additional 3kw before the tax credits expire.

One thing I love in Sunrun is they are the largest dedicated residential solar company in the US. They help homeowners get solar energy that is perfect for their home and lifestyle. Their installers are very well experienced too. They are very expertise in designing and installing a solar system. And the most important factor I consider for choosing Sunrun is that I pay a very low, locked in rate for the power and saved 20% on my electric bill.

It's helpful to maintain your daily life easy. It's absolutely time-consuming. This company provides you complete help unless you are completely new there. By using their products, make life easier and save energy.

Sunrun was such a great investment for our family, and their installation was very professional. We can't believe how much we save each month in energy costs! We have never had any problems with our system. The experience has been better than we could've hoped for.

With this solar energy, it has been such a great blessing to my family and life! Knowing that I am making a difference by using the services and products this company provides really makes me overjoyed. Everyone should rush to sign up and take the first step. Thanks for being so wonderful!

11/13 - due to a error on Sunrun's website - I was given to believe that my AutoPay option was not working and I was 1 month overdue. I paid in full the amount of 393.24 on 11/13. This company then charged me a further withdrawal of 196.62 X 2 on 11/16. And now the current bill does not show the overpayment, instead it is showing an amount of 196.62 due for 12/15. Sent customer service 2 emails one on 11/16 and one on 11/20 - response from the company is "We are working on it." I called Customer service today and they said the matter was referred to their corporate office. I would not recommend this company to anyone any longer. This practice of not responding to requests for refund of overpayment, incorrect billing practices are fraudulent and I will be reporting.

I had the no money down lease solar installed (40 panels) on my barn in Jan. 2015. The system has stopped working 3 different times in the term of 10 months. I pay a fixed rate of $153.00 per month to Sunrun, however when the system is not working they expect me to pay the monthly rate regardless. I am actually paying more in electric having solar than when I just used PSEG. Now I get a bill from Sunrun for 153.00 and also an electric bill from PSEG ranging from 150.00 to the one I just got for 376.00 in one single month. This company fails to tell you that during the night hours you go back on your electric company's grid. I am so upset that it keeps breaking down and I am not saving anything. Calling them is nothing but a runaround and put on hold. Really wish I never went solar!!!

I signed the 20 year lease contract with SunRun to install the REC solar panel (about 20 panels). Went through whole process, estimate, design, price. Deposited the $500 (non refundable). After that they simply stopped calling. I called couple of time to my sales rep (TJ ), no call return. Then I was able to contact one of other local design engineer (Sacramento). First she told me that, "We can't proceed with the contract, as the date roofer gave us won't work, we won't be able to get the permit out that quick."

I was referred to this company by my neighbor - and since had the solar service installed in my home in CA. During the process I was assured by the salesperson a Lance ** that I would also receive a check same as my neighbor for buying this system. I waited for a few months and then called in to ask why I had not received a check. I was put on hold for a long time and then told that the "check is in the mail" and should get to me in 4 to 6 weeks. (Hmmm.) Now I called again and am told that there was no such offer made. Very dishonest and deceitful company this Sunrun.

Sunrun has failed to repair the system installed on my house in compliance with their contract. Multiple contacts with customer service with no results. Very poor company to deal with and their service after the sale is extremely poor. I would not deal with them again.

I bought a ground-mounted solar array from REC Solar in late 2008 that was up & running in January, '09. I was part of a generous rebate & tax credit program that made me think I'd made a great long term profitable clean energy investment. The array was placed on my lot and angled skyward to due south designed for maximum performance at my request. All permitting rules were followed and the system has generated electricity reliably now for over 6.5 years.

Have had solar panels on our home roof for several months. Phone calls to Sunrun and NV Power, no return calls. We need to have solar meter installed. Not sure what else we can do.

We installed solar using Sunrun for our lease. They guaranteed repairs for the life of the unit. Our first repair was due to water entering our combiner box on the roof. They tried to simply drill a hole to let the water run out, had to involve state agency to get proper repair work done. Our present repair comes from fuses having blown 3 times in a year. The repairman was told by Sunrun tech. to replace fuse with larger size fuse (we refused that option). They then authorized the repairman to wire around our fuses to keep them from blowing and shutting down our unit. We let the guy do his job, then turned off the breakers and informed Sunrun we would need a complete report of work done to allow a independent contractor to check the safety of wiring around the fuses. That was 3 weeks ago, still no report of any kind. I refuse to turn the unit back on till we have the report and verification of the unit being safe.

Snow accumulated on the solar panels. 4 feet had collected. In February all 4 feet from the whole roof slide off the solar panels and did $18000 worth of damage to my deck. I called Sunrun and they told me any damage from snow falling is my problem. I have $1000 deductible on my homeowners policy so there goes my savings for the year while Sunrun will continue to reap profits of the power generated from their system on my roof. They have no type of heater available to avoid this and why would they? It’s not their problem it’s mine. Make sure you check out who pays for avalanche damage before you sign any contract. They claim they told me about the risk during the lopsided sales pitch. If they had, I would not have become a customer and taken on that risk. BUYER BEWARE. They are only out to use you...

I'm glad that I did the switch to solar and Sunrun team made it easy and possible in such a professional manner. Thank you Sunrun team and keep up with the good work!

In June 2013 I was approached to sign up for a "no money down" solar system. After roof diagnostics who is the sub for Sunrun qualified my house for a 6000 watt system the trouble began almost immediately. My electric bill was too low for the original system so I needed a smaller system and $500 down payment. They measured my roof about a week later and told me the installation would be in October. About two months later I received a call from roof diagnostics who informed me that the rebates from LIPA (power company) ran out. The rebates partially funded the installation so I would probably wind up laying out another $2000. Someone would call me. Well someone did call at the beginning of October and now I was told that I did not qualify for the system I signed up for because there were trees on a neighboring property that blocked my roof for three months out of the year. They could put in a still smaller system but not the original system.
