    Sunrun’s rep came knocking on my door about 10 years ago and I decided to go with solar since it was a lot cheaper. Everything went smoothly, from the sales visit to the installation. We just have the solar panels right now but I'm in the process of getting the battery because I'm replacing my roof and Sunrun offered me a good deal. The bill is a lot less and I love it. The customer service is great and I would recommend Sunrun.

    We had new construction as well as several houses on the street and the rep from Sunrun came to the door and talked to us about it. He was wonderful. He was informative and not pushy. The techs who installed the solar panels were very good. When our house was built, I found out from my builder that they put in the conduit for solar panels in the house, so that was a surprise. I’m very happy with going solar. I rent my panels, so I pay that every month, but I haven't paid an electric bill in years. Prior to Sunrun coming and talking to me, I had sent out feelers to a company but didn't follow up with them. Recently, they called me and I told them I have solar panels from Sunrun.

    We had a great experience and the process was simple and straightforward though it can take weeks when City, State, & Utility are involved. Highly recommend working with Sunrun, specifically Brian ** in New York, for your solar installation. Brian was incredibly knowledgeable and walked us through the entire process, making a complex project feel simple and manageable. He was attentive to our needs and responsive to all our questions. The Sunrun installation crew was professional, tidy, and efficient. We are thrilled with our system's production and are already seeing the benefits on our electric bills.

    Sunrun came to my residence when they were promoting and somebody recommended them for the solar panels. So, I went with them and the installation was okay. In the beginning, switching to solar energy was a bit of a problem. When they installed the panels, the system was tripping off and going off on its own. When we complained, they came and said maybe the panels that they gave us were not enough. So they added on more panels. But even after that, we still had tripping problems. So they had to replace the tripper. Since then, everything seems okay. I also have no issues with their customer service and the price. But the problem here is Unitech because their rates are high. Overall, I would recommend Sunrun. It is a good service, which people should embrace, especially since they are promoting renewable energy.

With the door to door salesperson, he promised me that the only bill that I was going to receive was the one for Sunrun and I I found out that it wasn’t true, also he told me that any energy down loud to the grid was compensated in a monetary check payable to me.

    I wanted to save some money on electricity and have a healthy environment overall. A friend told me about Sunrun and I worked with them to go solar. I also did some research and their price was very comparable with other companies. The salesperson was awesome and she explained the whole process. She made it really simple. Then, the guys who came out for the installation part were professional. Everything was done in a timely fashion and they kept me posted on everything. They covered the entire roof with panels and it's been a year as of this month that we've had them. I am starting to see some savings. I love the app, too. I love looking at it and seeing the charts daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly.

    A guy came knocking on my door, which was how I knew about Sunrun. I knew I would like solar energy services, but I didn't think I could afford them. When I switched, it was easy. I got approved and the men came and put the panels on the house. It was five months before they got hooked up, but that wasn't a problem. I signed papers when I did it and I didn't know that I was going to have a monthly bill every month. But I got over the shock of that. Most of the time, my payments are very low except for a couple of months in the winter but it still saves me money. I'm very satisfied with going solar. It's not something that you think about all the time. It's just there and when the light bill comes, it's cheaper.

    Having Sunrun, I don't have electric bill. I pay them a monthly fee and I reap the benefit of my solar energy system. But every year, the payment goes up in May, 'cause that was when I signed with them. My payment goes up 4% of what it was the year before. We have the highest electric bills out in Massachusetts. We're about even with Hawaii. But paying less than what my neighbor is paying, like $300 or $400 a month for electricity, we got a good deal. I always recommend Sunrun to friends.

    I've had a wonderful experience with Sunrun. I had them come in 2012 and they assessed the property. They said that we would be a good fit, but they would have to assess the roof to see if it's sturdy enough to take the panels. Then we went on a contract. They came back and we ended up getting the panels done. We decided to pay it all up front, but there are some concern I had with them. This happened a year ago, and that really got me pissed off about them. They have battery backup. So, I called in and told them I would like to have my battery backup and I asked if they could do an assessment to see if I was eligible. They came and did the assessment, and they said I was eligible to get it, but they had to run my credit.

    They ended up telling me that my credit was not a 620, so they would not be able to accommodate me and give me the battery backup, which was $110 a month, and that was for 10 years. After that, you would have the right to either buy it or go back on that contract. That got me very upset because I felt that I've been with them for a very long time. I'm a senior. I said, "Being that I have been a loyal customer of you guys for a long time, I do not understand why that is such a big deal that it has to be a 620." My credit score was 610.

    I started to realize something was wrong and I complained about it. They sent me to different people. Apparently, they subcontract a lot of their products and the person that I was working with in Florida is a subcontract, and he didn't give the right information. Then they sent me to somebody else, and I got the same running around, until finally, I said, "This is not for me." I just stopped interacting with that.

    Another thing, too, is I called them to get my solar panels cleaned. They were telling me that I'm gonna have to pay $350 for it. I thought that was unfair. It's not something that I ask all the time. There are times where in Hawaii, it gets really gummy, and I don't have the extra money or the people to come in and get that done. I said, "Since this is your panel, I don't want it to get broken, or if something happened, I get somebody else to come up there and clean it and damage it. Since this is your product, I'd rather do it from you." They're insisting I had to pay them upfront before they could come. That was not really nice.

    When you call, they keep sending you outside of the United States, and no one follows up. Sunrun's reputation has gone down because of that. The customer service has gone down the drain because of that. They're not being honorable. Other than that, the equipment is great. And if I needed something to be checked, they would come with no charge. They would change it with no problem. I saved better for the first seven years. And after that, it seems to have gone down and down. I think that it's not as profitable as it used to be. My bill used to run from February all the way down to about 100 and less, and now it's not. I just finished paying my bill last month, and it was over $200, and that's crazy.

    Everything is okay, because the system works good. We have the two Tesla batteries now. They were installed two years ago. It's helping us, because when I look on my cell phone, it’s the batteries that are working to supply our electricity. There was one time after they installed the battery that something kept going on our electricity. I called Sunrun, but they called me to call a local electrician. I asked the electrician to install the switch for the AC, because every time the AC turned on, something would pop that says it's not enough voltage. But Sunrun reimbursed me. I will recommend Sunrun.

    Nevada Energy kept going up, and it was getting kind of out of control in the summer. I decided to go solar and went with Sunrun. The power purchase agreement is what we chose to go with. If I could have, I definitely would have bought it outright, but the PPA works, too. The first six months were a little bit bumpy. We never were out of electricity, but there were times that the Sunrun system was not connected. So, they had to do repairs but they were good about doing it. They also didn't charge us if it wasn't running. So, we've been very happy. Ever since then, we've had no issues with it. In fact, it's doing great. Right now, it's producing three days’ worth every day. So, I'm banking and we're finding then that we hardly ever have anything but a connection fee to pay to Nevada Energy.

    Whatever energy we're not using, they save it all up. So, if we're only using 24 hours a day, and we're producing three days’ worth, they're banking the two days’ worth. So, then suppose we get a week of solid rain and or not collecting any power, we've got days of power banked, so we don't get charged for the power we use if it's banked. I like it. I'm happy with it.

    My experience with Sunrun has been consistently disappointing and, at times, unacceptable. Communication throughout the process has been unreliable—calls and emails frequently go unanswered, and when responses are received, they often fail to resolve the issue at hand. The installation process lacked organization and transparency, with unclear timelines and minimal coordination. More concerning, however, is the apparent failure to properly assess my energy needs prior to system design and installation. The system provided is undersized relative to my actual usage, resulting in a significant shortfall in expected production. As a direct consequence, I am now obligated to make monthly payments to both Sunrun and my primary utility provider. This outcome contradicts the fundamental premise of transitioning to solar energy and raises serious concerns regarding the accuracy and integrity of the initial evaluation process.

    Post-installation support has been equally deficient. Service requests are slow to be addressed, and responsibility appears diffused across multiple departments, with no clear ownership or accountability. Commitments made during customer interactions are not consistently fulfilled, requiring persistent follow-up on my part. Given the financial commitment involved and the expectations set during the sales process, this level of service is not acceptable. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Sunrun. Prospective customers should exercise caution and ensure that any provider conducts a thorough and accurate assessment of their energy requirements and stands behind their service commitments.

    So far it has been great, as of today it's one of my best assets. Just one thing that I have notice from the system is that when local energy is cut down during day time it starts consuming energy from the battery for some 5 to 10 minutes then it goes back to consume the solar production of the moment.

    I like that Sunrun owns the product. I don't own anything. I'm in a 20-year contract with them. During that time period, my two boys moved out, so it's like a Catch-22 with me. Also, my wife and I both work, so we're not home a lot that I think I'm saving not a lot of money, but in the long run, I don't know if it's gonna bite me in the back. Because it's a contract, it's one and a half percent every year. I don't even have 10 years with them yet. I feel they should come out more often. But that's just the inspector in me. I'm an inspector for the fire department. I deal with complicated contractors and property owners. I'm very conscientious. So, they normally call, "Hey, we're gonna go and do this, do that." They've been out maybe twice since I've owned it, but overall, I'm optimistic. I'm pretty sure I'm saving somewhat some kind of money.

    There are other things I looked at. I had my roof repaired, and the subcontractors they used weren't very informative on replying back to my request, "We're going to do it on this day?" Yes or no confirmation. So, that was more of an office clinical type of position. The contractor came out. He was a young kid and was very knowledgeable. I normally question people when they come work on my house, and I was very satisfied with the way he answered me. The work he did was very exceptional. The administrative side of it at the company that they work for, yeah, I'd give them a 1. I would never recommend that company office personalities who weren't knowledgeable or they didn't care. Other than that, I would recommend Sunrun. I always recommend them. So far, I'm very happy with everything.

    Buying from Sunrun was the worst financial decision I’ve made. We paid $10,000 for an installation in late 2019, and the system has already broken twice in less than six years. The first time it broke (mid-2023), Sunrun never even notified us that we weren't producing energy. It took until April 2024 to get them repaired. Those repairs lasted only 15 months before the system failed again in July 2025. Now, the panels are rusty and ugly, and Sunrun has the audacity to demand a $600 workmanship fee, as it says in the contract. What about their website: it states "Solar panels can last anywhere between 25 to 30 years, sometimes more." Do not be fooled by the sales pitch. The equipment is poor quality and the service "guarantees" are a joke. Save your money and go elsewhere.

    We liked Sunrun's packages and plans. We did get some deals, too. Nick was the one who sold this to us. He was excellent. He saw us through until the next stage. He would check up on us even when we got to the next stage, and we were dealing with other people in the company. Switching over to solar happened over a period of a few months, but we had very good people helping us. We were always looking for a lower price, but the average of our overall one-year bill from the electric company is fair.

    Our electricity was too expensive. Switching to Sunrun was seamless. They just updated their app, and it's very intuitive. Any information you need is right there. It's been a good experience. I have two Tesla batteries. In the summertime, the solar is working the whole time. Where we live, it can be upwards of 80 degrees at night, but we're still running the AC overnight, and the battery just powers the whole house the rest of the time until the sun comes up and starts charging them again. So, any solar system should have battery backup. It doesn't make any sense to not have it. As an example, the power went out over the winter for about six hours, and we still had everything going because we had the battery backup. So, they don't replace a generator for folks in Tornado Alley where you're going to be out of power for a long period of time, but they do solve rolling blackouts or anything that California has to offer. So far, it's been a no-brainer.

    I've been with Sunrun for several years now. The last time that I had another system installed was last year. Prior to that, I've already been a customer of theirs for a couple of years. Recently, I had Tesla batteries installed. I had more solar panels installed. I was not so happy with installation because I was still paying Edison a lot. So, they did some checking, and I'm happy now because my Edison bills had gone down drastically. Since the second installation that I had, I thought I'm going to be totally free from Edison. I was thinking of getting a second electric car. Right now, I'm happy that I'm at least close to self-sufficient with one electric car. When I had a second system installed, I wanted to be self-sufficient even with a second electric car, and I don't think I can achieve that goal if I get another electric car.

    Sunrun will work with you if you haven't achieved the goal that you set to achieve. But currently, if I get a second electric car, then I probably wouldn't be in the same situation that I am now, which is not the goal that I set for the second installation. So far, I'm tracking with Edison what my bill is going to be, and it is in the negative. So, I would be expecting that in the next bill, Edison would owe me something.

    Going solar with Sunrun is a good choice because they're very efficient and trouble-free. I had a particular place where I wanted all the equipment to be set up, and they were able to do it exactly the way I wanted it. That was wonderful, because they usually have a set thing in mind that they want to do, and they don't want to deviate from it. But my idea was better, and they went ahead and did it the way I liked it inside my garage. There was nothing outside except for the panels on the roof. The only hiccup was getting approval from Edison. They hold things up a bit. It took two months to get my permit to turn it on. But Sunrun took care of that. They did their due diligence and followed up on that, and they finally got it approved that I could start my solar project. I got the latest Edison bill, and I have a $14 surplus.

    When I started with Sunrun many years ago, they kept coming up with various different bills and carrying on. I have a trail of emails and text messages that I saved. It was a very horrible experience. Finally, after almost a year, things got settled, then they started charging me. But my roof is destroyed. I've been trying to ask them because when they advertise they say they'll fix your roof and do this and that. But they did nothing. They just put the solar panels over the bad roof and left it there. Now, I can't do anything.

    The service is not what they advertise for because I didn't get the roof they were supposed to fix. I can't even fix the roof because it's gonna cost me at least $7,000 to pull those panels off to fix the roof. Then they tried to charge me for the permit fees which are stuff that should have been taken care by them because I am only paying a monthly rate on it. This monthly rate was supposed to be done in 10 years. When 10 years came up, I asked them about it, and they said it was 15 years so I'm still paying on it.

    Sunrun is saving me some money now with my electric. But I had to call them once because the panels weren't producing. The guy that came out shut everything down in the electrical box and never bothered to pull it back up. I kept telling them there was something wrong. The electric company would tell me to go to Sunrun but Sunrun would tell me go to the electric company. It was going back and forth. Finally, Sunrun sent somebody out and the guy told me the breaker was off. So for four months, I was paying very high bill in electric and was still paying Sunrun monthly.

We track the system through the app. I've seen apps that are more user-friendly, but it's not the worst one I've used as far as online viewing. Our only issue was that the solar network was not communicating so they had no idea for six months how much we were retaining and what the solar panels were collecting. It took about six months to get that part straightened out and getting the company that installed it out to service it. They're subcontracted by Sunrun. It was before the end of the tax year, and I think some of the tax credits were coming to an end, so people wanted to get theirs installed by then. Since ours was already installed, we kept getting kicked back to a later date so that more people could get the tax credit. That was the majority of the delay.

We like our solar system so much that when a friend of ours, someone that my husband works with, talked to us about solar energy, we convinced them to get Sunrun as well.

    The only problem we've had is the stinking pigeons because we're having a problem the last two years keeping them out from nesting under the panels. So, we have to really watch it. And unfortunately, we have to destroy what they build before they get around to laying their eggs. Sunrun suggested something you could buy but I'm not going to put any money into it if I can just watch it myself. Other than that, it was kind of a godsend that Curtis came here because the electrical bill was a pain. It was up to $300 a month. Now, it's down to 188, so it's very affordable, especially with rising costs these days. So, going solar worked out to our benefit in a lot of ways.

    Everything was pretty good with the installation. When I had the extension put on, all the equipment had to get pushed, moved over and relocated, and that was pretty much effortless. Sunrun is a good investment for now. My electric bill is what it is, and so far, so good.

    I would always see Sunrun passing by my house. I was looking into panels, but I wasn't considering them at that time. Then one day, they stopped by my house and offered a better deal than the other solar system that I was looking on. So I picked Sunrun. Lucas was the one I talked to and he was a very good salesman. They should keep him on. Overall, Sunrun was great and they did everything they were saying in no time at all. Everything was done in two months. The only thing that took long was the town permit. I was a little nervous at one point if this was really going to work, but it did.

    The deal that Sunrun gave me involved no money upfront. Instead, you pay them monthly. And you don't have to pay Eversource. That's been reflected on my Eversource bill from the time I got Sunrun and it's always a zero bill. Mostly, I go on the Sunrun website to maneuver how my panel is generating the additional credit. I'm also considering getting a battery with the panel that I got since they're offering that now, but I'm not ready to call them yet. Other than that, Sunrun should continue doing what they're doing. I recommended a couple of customers to them and they gave me a bonus for referrals.

    Switching to Sunrun, for the most part, was positive. There was just one thing I didn't like, and that was the contract because they told me I needed 11 panels. I was quoted a price of 93, but that ended up only being nine panels. Other than that, I don't have any complaints. They’re good. The install was good, too. I just didn't like what felt like miscommunication.

    Since the installation of the panels, I am paying less, which was my primary objective. I'm still, at times, paying Edison, which I was trying to avoid altogether, but I need more panels in order to do that. I got six months free because I signed up for automatic payment. The system stopped working a couple of days, and they gave me $150 gift card. So, they’re doing good. Everybody, from the first person I made contact with to every one else that I made contact with, has all been very helpful, positive and professional. I would recommend Sunrun, but that whole pricing thing really bugged me. I looked up and realized I was only getting nine panels, and it isn't enough panels.

    We did Sunrun in two locations. One we put in our house, and the other one that we did was for my dad in Arizona. He had 25 panels. Here at our house, we have 60 panels, and I love them. They've been the best so far. The only thing is, once they put your panels on, unless you have a problem, they really don't call you. They just collect the money. They don't come back and say, “How's everything going? How are things running?”

    They have really bad customer service and follow-through. I've had Sunrun for 10 years now, and out of that 10 years, I've only had two phone calls. I originally went with 42 panels. I told them at the time that wasn't enough panels. They said, “This will be fine. You shouldn't have any problems.” I still started paying the electric bill still, and I didn't want an electric bill, so I said, “You need to put 60 panels on my roof. That's what will take care of it.” Now I have 60 panels. They did that two years ago, and after they got them on, and everything was good, then I've never heard from them again. They're a good company to install and put it on, but not a company to follow through. 

    But I have no bill other than to them, and it solved my issue. They were very responsive. They were very quick when they put the panels in. I have almost no attic space, so I have nothing but beams in my house. When they drilled, they had somebody inside with a microphone. When they drilled it, they started to come through part of my roof. They would tell them, and then they'd back up and then move over an inch, and then they would get the beam. They were really good and quick.

    The only thing that wasn't good was the connection to fire it up between Sunrun and Edison. Edison was the worst. It took me a whole month before they could throw the switch. Then we needed to make an appointment when, and we had to have this final approval of this. Then everything was approved. I don't know what the holdup was, but when they finally did, Edison came out. Sunrun was here, they flipped the switch, and everything was good from that point on.

    I recommended Sunrun to a couple of houses. And when I did, they gave me a referral fee thing. I got $250 from one family that went with Sunrun. I got $250 from another family that went with Sunrun. I got a referral pay, which I wasn't expecting, but that was in their program at that time.

    When I first moved in, my electric bill kept getting up to around 180, even though I was at work and wasn’t home. And it was just me. I even called HELCO about it. Someone told me about solar, but I didn’t qualify at the time, so I waited. Finally, a lady from Kona told me I qualified, and that was the happiest day of my life. After that, my electric bill went down to around 50. When I first got my new bill, I was in shock because I had never seen a bill that low. It was $29. Now I have a battery, and I use my dryer and mini dishwasher, which I didn’t use before, and the bill stays the same. They put new panels in too, and they work better.

    I wish I knew more of my neighbors because I see that many of them have solar, and I would’ve told my whole neighborhood to get it. If you can do solar, that’s the best way to go. Everything in Hawaii is getting expensive, so I'm very happy with my solar. I love Sunrun. The installers were good, professional and down to earth. They were awesome. The customer service reps were professional, courteous and always on top of things. If there's anything new coming up, they always text or send an email, and let me know what's in and if I would be interested. I highly recommend Sunrun. It's worth it. Getting solar was the best investment I’ve made. I just got a bill from HELCO, but it says not to pay because I have a credit from Sunrun. So I don’t have to pay for two months. If I could, I would tell everybody to get a battery. I live in Hawaii, so the sun is perfect for it. You'd have more money in your pocket if you could use the sun.

    The first time Sunrun first came out a year ago, before I got them to put the system on my house, they came by and said, "You're approved for this solar panel." Two months later, they started the panels and said, "We can't do this." "What do you mean?” I took time off of work. "We can't do this." I asked, "Why?" "You got three layers of shingles on your roof." I said, "They came and inspected the roof different times. They said, there's room to get it done." I took time off my work twice, and they said, "We got it." The vans came with the materials. I was pissed off. I said, “I took off work for you guys to do it.” "We can't do it. It's got three layers." It was a headache. They finally suckered me into doing it. Other than that, it came out well. The cost is good because they have given us a free panel.

    Sunrun's presentation sounded good. But I realized I signed myself into a 25-year contract and still paying double billing because I'm still paying for the Sunrun monthly bill plus my PSE&G. I don't see any savings in there. I get a little saving, but that it is for people that you save a lot more money to have one bill, but I'm still paying my PSE&G bill for the winter months. It came back almost 350 bucks because of winter months, for the snow has been covering the solar panels. So, I had to pay the actual money for that, plus the solar panel with a flat rate every month. I don't see me saving by getting the solar panel.

    They said they're not talking to pay X for the winter month. They should give incentives on the winter months when the solar panel is covered with all the snow we had this year. But they don't do that. They send me a monthly bill. I should get a decrease in the bill for the monthly not using this solar panel. Other than that, it's done already. So, what can I do? I bragged to my neighbor, and he got the whole big package, the backup, the roof done, everything. He would never get it if I didn't tell him how good it was. I said, "They take care of you."

However, we're supposed to cover our usages, but based on the app, we only get 50% so I don't know what the discrepancy is. We haven't got a good explanation on that because we still got electricity bills and we still pay Sunrun. The idea was we would have enough solar panels that we wouldn't have to pay electricity every month. Also, we have the app, but I don't know how accurate it is. It's like a mystery.

    I’m having an issue right now and I already called customer service, but they said they couldn't help me with what was going on. I have two solar systems. I have a newer one that just got installed in 2023, and I had an older one that got installed in 2016. Apparently, the new system has not been working for the last 13 months. And I got a bill for $4,600 from Edison, the electric company, charging for 12 months of service. The customer service rep said there was nothing they could do and that I probably used more energy. I told them I didn’t, because before, I was only paying around 300, and with my first system, I was paying maybe 400 a year since it covered about 85%. With the second system, it covers about 95% of my electricity, and I am giving energy back.

    I called Sunrun three times a day and told them my secondary system wasn’t working. There may be an issue since it’s not showing up on my app. In the past years, I was negative on my electricity with Edison and now, I’m gonna pay Edison $30 a month for electricity. So, that showed that something's not functioning right. Sunrun sent a tech who said everything was fine and that I would see it working on the app in five to seven days. That time passed and nothing changed. I thought maybe it was something with the app and didn’t want to keep bothering them since they kept saying everything was fine. Finally, this year in March, they sent someone out who found the issue. It was the breaker, and he replaced it. After that, within a day, I started seeing everything working properly on the app.

    For the older system, I pay based on the energy it generates, which usually comes out to around 95% depending on usage, and a second system where I pay a flat fee of 85 a month. I asked how long the system has not been producing electricity and it turned out it’s been since February 2025. So, I’ve been paying for both systems, and it’s been about 13 months paying for a service I haven’t been provided. On top of that, I was charged by Edison. They want me to pay it all at once, and I can’t afford that. I tried to see if I could set up monthly payments over time.

    I need to be compensated for the amount of money that I paid Sunrun for the service that I didn’t get, which is $85 times 12 months. Sunrun could at least give that back to me or help me pay towards what I owe Edison, but they said they can’t do that. And the only thing they offered was 200 bucks. I’m sure Sunrun has records showing that I called numerous times while the system was down. I’ve been with Sunrun since 2016 and haven’t had any issues until now. Before, if something was wrong with the system, they would call me and let me know something was going on and send someone out to check it. This time, I didn’t get that. I've never had to call Sunrun and say there's something wrong in my system. They would send someone to fix it, which is the kind of service I expect.

    The idea of having solar panels in 2021 was very interesting. When I saw that Sunrun was advertised somewhere, I made the phone call. They came over. They were very clear about how much it was going to cost monthly, but at some point, I'm going to own the solar panels. I don't know what the electricity rates are now, but I have a feeling they're higher, and I'm still paying the same payment I paid in 2021. So, I'm very happy.

    The process of getting the solar panels was very easy. There was a power failure, and I have the battery down there, and I didn't have a power failure in this neighborhood I live. I was walking around the neighborhood looking at all the people who had their power out, and I was very happy that mine wasn't. I already recommended Sunrun to two people.

    Sunrun was very efficient. A friend told us about them and when our solar panels were installed, it was busy. Since going solar, there has been a difference in our electricity bill, so Sunrun helps on your PG&E. I would recommend them. Sunrun's reps also came a couple of months ago and put new panels in. They had a different pricing for that and they took the money out at different times, instead of all at once. One day, they'd take it out on the 10th. The next time, they'd take it out at the end of the month instead of combining them all at once. That worked out because we'd have enough budget for each month.

    Nevada Power was too expensive. I thought there's a lot of sunshine here in the desert so why not use it. I signed up with Sunrun and I've had it for about 10 years now. When I had already signed my paperwork and they had an appointment to come and install everything, Warren Buffett bought Nevada Power and kicked Sunrun out of Nevada. But I was grandfathered in, so they could go ahead and still install it. The installation was very quick. At one point, they notified me that I wasn't producing like I was supposed to. They came and checked it out, and they figured out what was wrong with it. They replaced it at no charge.

    I pay the same amount every month to Sunrun, and my electric bill, when I first got it, was $13 for Nevada Power. But now, it's $22. Nevada Power keeps getting pissed off because everybody's going solar, so they need to make more money. We don't have our own place to store any extra that we produce so Nevada Power charges us for the use of the grid.

    A friend of mine ended up with Sunrun about a year ago, and it's a little different than when I started. I'm glad I started with Sunrun when I did. However, I wasn't too happy with their customer service when my friend signed up. I referred her, and I was supposed to get $1,000 because she had it installed. She got her $1,000, but we had to fight for mine. They gave me $1,000 gift card that I could use anywhere and somehow I only got $279 that I used out of it. Somebody else took the rest of it. Other than that, Sunrun has always been very wonderful with me.

    Sunrun was doing door-to-door sales and when they came to my door, the guy that was doing the sale was extremely nice. His name was Connor and we really liked him, so we let him in and he sold us on it. Lots of people have come to the house but there was something about him. In fact, we invited him back for barbecues and told him we were sorry we didn't have any more daughters for him. He just laughed. But his parents even sent me a call and thanked me for taking him in for the summer. Also, the neighbor down the street also got solar put in and the bonus I would get, I gave it to him because he's working his way through school. So it helped him.

    When the solar panels were installed, things went very well and they were a really nice crew. I would highly recommend those guys. So far, we're very happy with our solar system. Right now, I've been trying to find out how much it would cost to get a battery installed. My house is 2,300 square feet and I was curious if it would take just one battery or two batteries? We talked to some people at Home Depot and they kept calling the house. But I haven't got an answer to my question yet. Other than that, I got a good deal from Sunrun. I've also gone on the app and checked the output. It's a very good app. I would recommend Sunrun to family and friends.

    My experience with Sunrun hasn't been too bad at all. The beginning was an issue. It was very difficult. I didn't like that they mentioned the panels, but they never mentioned about the battery. They installed the system but I found out that there was no battery at all. In the afternoon, after the sun is gone, the grid will pick my system and that's when I get charged. That doesn't make sense. I have an issue now that I'm paying two bills.

    But now, the relationship is better. Everything is working. There's a little bit of reduction in the electric bill, about $100 or sometimes $80 a month. I used to pay $220. Now, I'm paying $104 for the panels, and sometimes I pay $30 to $50 for the electric bill. But there are only two persons living in the house, so we don't consume too much energy. Also, if I were to have a battery, it will be a different history. I suggest others to go over everything before signing and make sure they get the battery.

    I have a home in Arizona, and it's always sunny there. I live in California and thought of putting solar panels here as well. I got Sunrun through from Costco, and I get a rebate back from them. So far, I've been very satisfied. I even referred friends to go through Costco if they want. Sometimes when you talk to them, they want to sell you. But when they send someone to talk to you, then that's a different story. They really tell you the layout and how many panels you should be having, and you can tell them where you want it more. They listen to the customer.

    I was really surprised at how they were doing the installation. They used drones flying over my roof so they could do the measurement. I have never seen that before, and that was very impressive. They did a great job. I even climbed up the roof after the installation, looked at it and it was great. I'm going back up the roof this month and I want to wash down the panels. I have a flat roof and there could be birds flying by, and panels could be covered with poo. During the late winter and in the fall and summer, Sunrun is helping me a lot cut my cost. They are also always notifying me of what’s going on and how the solar panels are doing.

    Everything in terms of Sunrun's service and when I call them, they're very prompt. I've had no major issues. I was originally going to purchase the panels. But after having to add the battery, I decided to just lease them. But I need to have them cleaned. So, I'm assuming I do it myself. I'm responsible for that. But so far, my experience has been okay. I had a couple of issues with the Tesla part of the battery. I need to get a stronger electricity box because periodically, it trips the Tesla thing and then I don't get anything off the grid. So I have to reset my electrical thing to get it going again. But other than that, I've had no issues.

    The house we bought before already had solar, so I didn't know much about it except that the way the utilities worked was a lot different from the original house, compared to this house that we built, as far as how much of a decrease we get in our energy bills. But I've been pretty happy so far. The process with Sunrun was simple and painless. I also have the storage battery. The biggest benefit I've seen from the storage battery is that I have an electric car. I can't charge the car during the week because we use it for work, but on the weekends, I just charge on solar, which is nice. At one point, I wasn't putting out like I was supposed to, and Sunrun could tell on their end. So they called me up and said they wanted to schedule service and come out to look. They took care of the problem. I hadn't noticed anything on my end, but apparently, they saw it on their end. I would recommend them.

    I was impressed with the way that Sunrun delivered the presentation on the product. The representative was very friendly and took the time to help me understand and answer any questions that I may have had at the time. The whole process took about two weeks. They were in constant contact with me about the process. So I didn't have any surprises. I was home, available, and everything worked out to my convenience. That was important to me because I needed to make sure that I had someone here, and at that time, I didn't have anyone that I could guarantee would be able to be here. So, it did work out for me. I was able to schedule my work around what they needed to do. They installed about eight panels for the size of my home.

    I'm very happy because I have heard some complaints from some of my neighbors about the energy consumption, and I have seen Sunrun in my neighborhood more than I did when I first received the product. I'm happy because my bills are lower. I can actually hear when my solar is being captured in the system. So, I don't have any complaints.

    I heard about Sunrun by doing a web search, because I was interested in solar panels. I had looked at them at a previous residence and felt it was too costly for the likes that I planned to spend in that residence. So, when I moved to my last residence in Colorado, I thought it was worth looking into, because I thought the investment would pay off. Sunrun’s program made it pay off immediately. Since I don't own the equipment, it has lowered my utility bill substantially. I may not be getting as much free usage as the long-term programs that I had looked at. But it is the substantial reduction and the budgeting that I can do going forward that made it well worth it for me.

    I like that they own the system and that everything with the system is warranted and covered by them. You don't get free energy, but you get a significantly reduced energy bill. What I don't use, what I collect and I don't use gets put back into the grid, so other people benefit from it. It seemed like the smart and right thing to do for me.

We live only on Social security and the cost is too much for us AND it's for 25 years.

    I had my solar system installed a little over two years ago. During the hottest months of 2025, my system experienced a significant production failure due to a mechanical issue. Unfortunately, I was never notified that there was a problem. I only discovered the issue after contacting Sunrun myself, at which point I was informed that my system had been producing only about half of the power it should have. Because this issue went undetected and unreported, I paid for both my Sunrun service and significantly higher utility bills during the peak summer months. From June through September 2025, I effectively paid double for electricity. This resulted in nearly $1,000 in additional out-of-pocket electricity costs caused directly by the system’s failure to perform as contracted.

    At the time I reported the issue, I was told Sunrun would review my production data at the beginning of the year and provide a credit for the lost production. However, that review and credit never occurred. Instead, Sunrun has offered only a $75 credit, which is completely disproportionate to the financial impact I experienced. This situation raises serious concerns. My system failed to produce the expected energy, and Sunrun did not notify me of the malfunction despite monitoring the system. As a result, the burden of the failure fell entirely on me as the customer.

    I am requesting that Sunrun conduct a full production review for the affected period (June–September 2025) and provide appropriate compensation that reflects the actual financial losses caused by the system’s underperformance. A $75 credit does not reasonably address the nearly $1,000 in additional electricity costs I incurred due to this mechanical failure. I expect Sunrun to stand behind its monitoring, performance, and customer service commitments and provide a fair resolution to this matter.

    During the summertime, I get the sun energy. But instead of storing it for me to use during the wintertime, it goes back to the grid and it's not giving me any incentive. I know somebody that has another solar panel and it's saving a lot. I called my Sunrun representative to see if the solar energy that I receive can be saved, instead of going back to the grid. My bill is still high and even higher. So it defeated the purpose for me having a solar system. When I asked to have a battery, Sunrun said I was going to pay extra for it. So now, they would sell me another stuff to create another burden when I'm trying to reduce my bill. My electric bill right now is between close to 500 and over 500. It's just a small house with 1,200 square feet, and half of the house is for electric. Imagine if the electric is for the whole house. I have a gas bill that I have to pay, too. So I'm paying close to 750 to 800 and that's too much.

    So it doesn't seem beneficial that I received the solar panel and it doesn't seem like it's saving me anything. I used to pay for two places and I pay 500 a month. Right now, for this little house, if I pay 500, I barely pay all my electric and gas bill a month. If something is not working, find a way to make it better. I'm willing to work on it and that's what I'm looking for with Sunrun. I want a better service. In the beginning, when I signed the contract, they said that going solar was going to cut my energy bill into half. And now, when I'm talking to them again, they denied saying that. They said what they told me was that it would cut our bill to 30%. So they're inconsistent. It's really more doubt and I was just taken advantage of.

    I called Sunrun because I receive a text message instructing me to reboot my solar panels. This is something I have never had to do. The link that was sent did not work. I, then, called Sunrun to question the reason for the text message. I was informed that the solar panels are not communicating with Sunrun and that they are not producing any solar energy. Well, no wonder! I live in Massachusetts that recently had a blizzard. The solar panels are covered with snow not allowing the solar energy to be produced.

    The agent I spoke to wanted me to make a service appointment. I asked if I was going to be charged for this appointment. He said that I may be charged for the appointment. I told him to make note on my account that I do not want to be charged and will not pay the bill if sent. I told him that Vivint would give an annual service appointment at no charge. I also informed him that since Sunrun took over Vivint, I have never had a service appointment from Sunrun. Why are you scheduling one now? Is it because my monthly solar bill is lower or non-existent? That is the ONLY reason that Sunrun is concerned about my solar panels. Isn't it?!

    I am highly dissatisfied with customer service and I am considering having the solar panels removed from my home. These panels are NOT saving me any money on my electric bill. When the solar panels were installed by Vivint, these gave me credits against my National Grid bill. My total electric bill dropped considerably. Since Sunrun has taken over, the charge per kilowatt hour has increased dramatically, thereby, making me pay more for my electricity.

    The only other time I was contacted by Sunrun was to ask me to install more solar panels to offer me a larger savings based on more solar energy production. I was informed that I would receive a second bill from Sunrun with any even higher kilowatt per hour charge. That's just what I want, a second bill from Sunrun to charge me more for the savings I am not receiving on my electric bill.

    In all honesty, I do not know why I bother answering these surveys from Sunrun. No one ever contacts me after I submit the survey to offer me a plan for more savings. It's as if Sunrun does not care about their customers or the service they are supposed to offer. Sunrun is just interested in expanding their profit margin!

    It's been the worst customer service event of my entire life so far: I was approached by the first salesman, I expressed interest in a solar project, but told him that by no means would I abide Tesla equipment on my property. The second salesman came, I signed documents, and again the possibility of Tesla equipment came up, and I told him, unequivocally there would be no Tesla equipment here. He said that he would add that to my profile. The initial project was planned, with a Tesla battery and inverter. I said, again, no Tesla equipment here; it was explained to me that I would have to wait for Franklin equipment, I was fine with that. At some point I was contacted by Sunrun as to whether or not I wanted to continue to wait, or have my account closed for the moment with no Franklin equipment yet available. I chose to remain an active account with Sunrun.

    My house was inspected, shown to be ok for a solar installation. So at this point, 4 Sunrun employees have been inside my house. During this waiting period, I was approached by an Illinois based Solar firm, and I declined, saying that I was already working with Sunrun. Finally, a plan with Franklin Battery and Solaredge inverter was finalized. I ok'd that, and the installation date was set in November, I got the day off work. The Friday before, I was reminded that the install was the next Monday, and to have my Wifi password ready. This was the first time I had been asked about Wifi. I was told the installation could not continue without it, so I got a wifi account on the next day, which did not matter, because the crews were called off not knowing whether or not there was Wifi service at my house.

    Even contacting Monday, was apparently too late, and I watched as Ameren's truck drove away. Mind you, 4 people from Sunrun had been in my house at this point and not once had I been asked about wifi. The installation day was scheduled again; the work crew arrived, but did not finish due to the lack of sunlight. I was told I would not have to be here for the rest of the work which only required roof access. It turns out, they did not, in fact, need my wifi password for that day.

    It also turned out, that I did in fact need to be home for the next install day, as smoke detectors needed to be installed. This was scheduled for a Saturday in December. The day before, there was a blizzard warning, and I strongly recommended against, but Sunrun showed up that morning anyway, to see that yes in fact my house was covered in snow, and I would not have let anybody work on my roof even if they wanted to. The outdoors crew member said the workday was called off. After he left, I was called to be informed that the inside work was still in fact on. Three electricians were sent from Bloomington, to Decatur, in a blizzard.

    The following Tuesday I was contacted by yet another Sunrun employee to say that the smoke detectors that had been installed, were installed in the wrong locations. So people were sent through a blizzard, to do this task, without being told how the task was supposed to be completed? And now there were holes in my ceilings? That Sunrun employee wanted to schedule a day to correct this issue, and I found a possible day that would work for my employer on the 23rd. He said that the 23rd did not work for Sunrun, I told my boss to not worry about changing our work schedule; 10 minutes later he said that the 23rd would in fact work. I was not going to go back and make the demand again of my boss because we were hard pressed to fill all our labor needs during that holiday week.

    So I sent a group text to everyone that had been involved with the installation process at this point on what days I could and could not take off in January due to other people in my workplace having time scheduled off. I heard nothing back, from anyone in that text. Instead, I heard from yet another Sunrun employee that the inspection with the city had been scheduled within the time period I could not take off work. Who blindly schedules that without asking whether or not it's a day that works for the customer first? Espescially since I had already told Sunrun what days I was available. I told him, no, this day did not work, i gave him a list of the days I could possibly ask off. I asked about the locations of the smoke detectors, if the inspector was going to have a problem with them, since that was an issue before the 23rd December, but no answer to that question.

    So, the city inspector came, as well as a friendly electrician; apparently the location of the detectors was fine, but not their type, and he had to change them all out. The house passed inspection & the solar system was shut down. On Feb 2 I was sent a document to sign. I did. Same day. I have been being pestered since that I need to re-sign the doc. Understand that by this point, I alternatingly feel ill or enraged when Sunrun asks for one more thing, from yet another employee I have not encountered to this point. I sent this guy a pdf and jpg images showing that I had signed on 2nd February. I rec'd an email from him at 2:44 a.m today reminding me to sign. I have told him no.

    I contacted the "customer service expert" to cure this problem, so far to no avail, although I did finally convince her to have the document-signing guy to stop pestering me. She said she would contact my new salesperson since the one who had sold me the system had quit. I tell this guy what my availability is. "Customer service expert" contacts me like 2 weeks later, asking if there is anything she can do, I explain that I had been waiting for sales dude to phone, make an appointment- nothing. Just contacted her again today as I have been paying an increased internet bill so that the solar system has internet access, and I've been paying the same utility bill, and what in the hell are these solar panels on my roof for, would they want me as a regular paying customer? This whole thing makes me ill, that I have altered my house on behalf of these people and nothing other than a sick feeling in my gut to show for it.

    Sunrun was going through the neighborhood, then we had the presentation with their rep which was fairly easy. When the installers came out, they did fine and didn't bother me at all. I got 17 panels from them and so far, I'm not saving much. During the worst part of the winter, I'm getting the Sunrun bill and I'm also getting a fairly high electric bill. But in the summer with the air conditioning running, I'd be saving a little bit.

    Overall, going solar was not the smartest thing that we ever did and I'm saying that because we get that 3% increase every year. So, in five years, it's not going to pay me anything. And the electric bill, they’re fighting to try and reduce them. So, I don't know if it's going to be beneficial at all. Also, if anyone is considering going with Sunrun, I would tell them to be careful because the salesperson said if we referred people and they got it, then we would get $1,000 per person. My granddaughter got it, but he wouldn't answer our calls afterwards and we never got the money. I should have put in a complaint a long time ago. Aside from that, the little bit of contact that I had with them, they were not helpful at all.

However, Sunrun did not monitor my system to detect and fix the problem. I kept contacting them and they kept telling me the problem was fixed "remotely". It wasn't. I paid my utility over $1000 in electric bills because Sunrun did not monitor, notify me or address the problem for several months..

    Sunrun is one of the best companies I've ever known. Two gentlemen came the year before I took up their offer. At the time, I had just lost my wife and money was the problem. So, I was scared and I decided not to do it. But one of the guys come back the next year and he told me they could put the equipment on my roof at no charge. So, I agreed. They had a little delay in getting started on my roof because of the company that they had do it. But once they started going, they did everything there. They were out of the small panels and they gave me the large panels.

    I paid Sunrun $108 a month for the first three years and now I'm paying 111. I have no complaints about Sunrun whatsoever. They called and asked me while they were putting the solar panels on the roof if I had any complaints. At another time, they called and worked out the deal for me for monthly payments. Some gentleman back in Salt Lake City was the one that brought it up for me. I never met him but I talked to him once, and he sure helped me out. I was told they worked out a special deal for me because I'd lost my wife and they knew that I was having problems with the money. They worked it out to where I could handle it and I really respect them for helping me out like that.

    Now, I love solar. I've had no payment due with PG&E for the last nine months. The 111 I'm paying Sunrun is nothing compared to what I was paying before which was in the $300 bracket. Other than that, the salesman forgot to mention to me that it would cost me an arm and a leg to get a battery. I have received letters by PG&E to get a free battery three times where they said to call this number and they'll call me back. But they never call back. They're not like Sunrun. Every once in a while, they'll call me and ask me if everything's going okay. And I tell them, "Yes, no problems." So far, I have gotten three people to sign up with Sunrun and if somebody brings it up, I talk to them about the company right off the bat.

    I looked into all of the companies at the time when my bills were high and Sunrun seemed to best fit what I needed. The only real problem I had is when I went to take it off to put on a new roof and Sunrun wasn't very helpful. They tried to funnel me to their personal ones and they were very expensive. I didn't go with their person, but it still ended up costing a lot more. It probably took away my savings for 5 to 10 years. Other than that, I'm satisfied.

    Should have known better from the moment they knocked on our door, but we fell for it anyway. We thought this was going to be a good thing for us and could actually benefit from having it. We are now in a situation we shouldn't be in with the dodgy business Sunrun conducts. From our salesman Richard to the numerous phone calls that have been made with no record of any of it. We were told about a lot of promotions, and we thought about this a lot before going into it like we did. They were going to buy out our contract with our electric provider that we have had for 6 years, burned that bridge because it never got paid. Then we were told about a 6 month promotion for $1.00 a month, then our normal bill would come in, never happened either. Our salesman actually backed us and said yes, I did offer that in a text message. Surprise the miraculously can't see the message that has been e-mailed 3 times.

    Then we start to move to the phone calls we have made trying to get this resolved starting end of December 2025. Lots of empty promises, Richard no longer answers his phone for us, "upper" management never returns phone calls, no record of the phone conversations and the list goes on. Stay away from Sunrun or any of their partnerships such as Vivint. Their solution to the $1300 they have taken from us is $20 credit for the inconvenience. This has been ongoing since August of 2025, think it's time to speak with lawyer about this matter. Too many phone calls, emails and a lot of money lost.

    Do yourself a favor and do not even entertain the idea of using them. Still to this day our salesman has not reached back out from last year, no one has returned a phone call or email and we are just stuck. Can't even sell our house because of their equipment being on the home, as it adds absolutely no value. Or new interested buyers want it removed. No pleased by any of this and makes me not trust any companies much anymore.

    Please carefully read and discuss the details of your agreement! Our rep assured us we would lower our monthly bill, and would only need to pay the utility company any gas usage. It took months after installation for the panels to even produce anything. Then when they finally produced we still owed a substantial amount to our utility company because the system doesn't work at night. I wonder what the benefit is then on sunny days when there is an overproduction, if it can't help offset night time or overcast. So by paying the monthly sum to Sunrun plus our utility company we are paying the same amount we were with just utility. Apparently the contract lasts 25 years and if we ever sell our home and the new buyer refuses to take over the panels we have to purchase the whole system. There is no way out, the whole thing feels scammy!

They had the workers come down with the panels, and then they had the other guy come and put the battery in. When we just had the system, a storm was approaching, and then our electricity went out. We called them to see what the problem was. They said our battery was offline since November. It was three months that we were being billed more than we supposed to, and it was three months that we weren't getting the service that we were promised. They said they'd fix the problem, and it was fixed. The promises were made when we bought it that they'd be on top of everything.

    If I had to do it over again, I'd go with a different company. They said that our unit was offline. What they did was come down and use an outlet in our garage that's supposed to be a booster. They couldn't do it any better than that. As far as the price, they told us that we'd be paying the utility company $10 a month. And then there are some months that we pay the utility company the same as Sunrun. I don't know how I can be satisfied with something like that. The pricing is not what was told to us.

    Our system stopped operating due to a mechanical issue. Our contract includes monitoring services by Sunrun, and according to their own staff, their system detected the issue in June 2025. A case file was opened but never assigned to anyone. Because the issue was not addressed, the system shut down completely in August. I only discovered the problem in December when I checked my Edison true-up bill (our cycle runs August–July). The bill was extremely high, more than I’ve ever paid in an entire year.

    When I contacted Sunrun, a case manager found the original June notification. They scheduled repairs (which took about a month), and I was told to contact billing afterward to request compensation. It is now March 2, 2026. It took two technician visits to get the system running again, and I have been paying high Edison Tier 2 (or higher) rates for six months without solar production.

    Sunrun’s compensation offer was a $75 credit and waiving the repair fee for their own system’s mechanical failure. When I questioned why monitoring did not prevent this, I was told that monitoring is only a convenience and that I should be checking the app daily myself. Because I did not notify them sooner, they claim they are not obligated to compensate me, citing contract language that production is not guaranteed.

    To be fair, I did not pay Sunrun during the months the system wasn’t generating. However, I incurred significantly higher SCE electricity charges as a result. I accept responsibility for not noticing sooner, but having a monitoring service in my contract, only to be told it’s essentially my responsibility to monitor daily, feels misleading and demonstrates poor customer service.

    Faith was my lady who did my Sunrun stuff and she was fantastic. She was so nice, and anytime I needed to get ahold of her for any reason, she was right on it. She's the best and switching to solar was very easy with one exception. I have an HOA and Sunrun initially put the system up on the wrong place. However, they corrected it and it was fine. Currently, I'm enjoy huge savings. Depending on the month, it would be anywhere from $150 to $400. People have no idea what I was paying for my air conditioning. It was unreal. I love Sunrun and I wish everybody had it. I have recommended it to people too, but they haven't done it and it's ticking me off. "You're being a fool. Why don't you do it?"

    Sunrun's rep made promises that he had difficulty fulfilling, but he finally fulfilled them. And during the process, he disappeared. I told him, “I've looked at three other companies and I'm in a quandary because I need to replace my roof.” He said, “What if I put a package together that would include replacing your roof and getting new panels? I said I'll entertain that. He came back and we sat down, looked at everything and signed an agreement. However, I had a difficult time hearing from him. I would leave messages. He wouldn't respond.

    A few times, I said, “I have no idea what you're doing.” Every time I threatened to cancel the contract, he would show up. He finally said, “I'm having difficulty finding someone that's going to do the roof at a price that I thought I could get done.” I said, “I have three leads for you.” He ended up using one of the leads I gave him. I tried to be proactive. They came in. As soon as the roof got done, the rep disappeared.

    I started dealing with customer service. They're in California, and very nice folks, and one rep said, “Your sales rep is no longer representing our company.” She provided some contacts because the folks who were going to install the panels were out of Worcester, Massachusetts, which is 45 minutes east of us. That took a long time for it to happen, but we started the process in April when I signed my contract. The panels got turned on two Octobers ago, on October 22nd. That's what my bill is due on October 22nd. It has been wonderful.

    I've run into different folks at Lowe's. Sunrun hangs out there. I've had some bad experiences. National Grid is the electric company I use. There's a litigation going on between Sunrun and National Grid. I have lots of credit, and we live on the second ridge of a mountain, so there are a lot of blackouts. I figured it would be a great opportunity for me to charge the batteries. Sunrun never told me that they have a problem and they can't do any business with customers with National Grid, but they could do with Eversource, which is the other electric company in town close by. One day, I ran into a nice guy who represents this area. I expressed my frustration. He said, “I need to explain to you what's going on. These folks that you see in Lowe's are new hires. They don't know a lot. We're just kind of trying and training them while we're going through a process."

    I was content with that answer, but out of nowhere, I got a phone call because I had expressed to him that I was interested in batteries. They told me that they've worked out an arrangement where the battery would be a separate installation that could not be attached to the current installation that I have. This young lady called up and we're having a very nice conversation, and she said, “Would you be interested in an appointment?” I said, “Absolutely, I'd be interested in an appointment” because I had received offers from the National Grid to provide batteries. I said, “Now I have two choices. I'll figure out which one works best for my finances and we'll go from there.”

    I asked for an appointment. I had to provide my Social Security. A credit run was run to me. I was talking to her. I got this text from Sunrun saying, ”You've been approved for installation of your batteries.” I said, “I'm waiting for an appointment. I don't know how she did it or manipulated it. Now all of a sudden, they run a credit check on me and I've been approved for it.” I asked her, “Did you do this?” She said, “Yes. The only way we're gonna come out is that if you provide us with a credit card.” I said, “For what? I haven't bought anything yet. I'm already with an agreement contract with Sunrun and I didn't have to go through any of this stuff. She hung up on me.

    The service is awesome. I am saving a ton of money on my electric bill, because I hear all my neighbors. We're the lowest usage in electricity, because I generate all the electricity that we use and providing credit, because typically, there's about $115 monthly charge for delivery of electricity. My credit absolves that. The local team just sucks. They're inexperienced, belligerent, angry, and very aggressive without any knowledge. I've been in sales for 45 years. I sold marketing. You don't have to be aggressive. You're trying to sell savings to the customer. That’s the easiest sale in the world.

    We had been thinking about solar for a while, but hadn't decided on a particular carrier. A salesman from Sunrun walked into our yard and did the presentation right then and there, and I was very impressed with it. We got 16 panels and the installation went very smoothly. Everybody we dealt with was very professional and it was completed in three months from the time that the first salesman showed up till the time it was functioning. It was quick. I would like to pay a little bit less, but I understand how they got to their cost.

    We've been very happy with our electric bill and the experience was positive. But there are a number of things you need to consider before you think about putting solar on your house, such as a fairly new roof, an updated electrical system, and the pitch of the roof. We have a very steep roof so when snow falls on the panels, it's only a day or two before the snow falls off on its own. I have neighbors a few houses away that also have Sunrun panels on them, and those panels still have the snow on them from last week. The pitch of the roof is not steep at all, so they're not getting any benefit from the sun. And that's not Sunrun's fault.

    This winter is very cold, so right now, I'm using extra electricity in the cellar. I have to run a space heater underneath the kitchen pipes to keep the pipes from freezing. So that uses more electricity than a warmer winter. I'm still not paying the power company and I haven't for almost a year. But within a month or two, I may have to pay them because all my solar credits will be used up. But I'm expecting that.

    I was trying to save a buck and see if I could get ahead of the game and looked into getting solar. I heard about Sunrun through a friend and when I switched, it was okay initially. But I never saw that I was not earning credits. I earned credits two months out of the first 14 to 16 months that I had it. So, I came to the conclusion that the salesperson undersold me on purpose so they could come back and try to sell me more panels. The salesperson I was working with, James, was always good at getting back to me, but he was never good at explaining things. He always wanted to rush me through everything like the DocuSign. When I asked about extra panels and Tesla batteries, he said my payment would go from $115 to $145. I thought I was getting Tesla batteries along with it, which was the steal of the century.

    Any time I had a question, he told me to listen to this recording and just say yes to everything. And I did. At one point, they said there's gonna be a 3.5% increase each year and I said yes to it. As soon as I got off the phone, I called him and asked about it. He told me not to worry about it and said it was something on their end. When they first started installing the panels, he said they couldn’t do six and would do eight. Then, I was shown the diagram and was told they would be in a straight line across the roofline because I was concerned about how they would look on the front of my house. When they put them in, they were not in a straight line like he said. At that point, I accepted it.

    It took from October of 2024 until around August of 2025 for the panels and Tesla battery to pass inspection and get activated. Then I started getting messages to sign up for autopay. I already did that and so, I called Sunrun. They told me I had a contract for $115 and another for $145, which brought my total to about $260 a month. I have never spent more than $200 on an energy bill in my lifetime, and I’m 55 years old. Our house is very efficient, for the most part, and we've always kept our energy bill down.

    I called James right away and asked what the messages were about. He told me I had signed up. I explained that he never made it clear that I would be paying for two separate contracts. He had told me my payment would go from $115 to $145, which sounded like it was just about $30 more than what I was already paying. If that had truly been the case, I would have agreed to it. If it had been clearly explained that I would be paying $115 plus an additional $145, I never would have signed up for that. He denied lying, but I told him directly that he had misrepresented the situation. We can pay it but it alerts me that they don’t have an honest person working for Sunrun. Later on, the people who referred us to Sunrun experienced the same thing. And if this continues with Sunrun, they are gonna have a serious problem on their hands. Never go to Sunrun.

    A Sunrun representative came to my door, and for some reason, I let him in and listen to his spiel. I thought about it a long time because my son had solar, and he paid for his own under the first system where he gets paid for whatever he doesn't use. I couldn't afford $30,000 for nine panels so I didn't do it. But the Sunrun guy made it easy enough for me to look at a monthly payment and figure out that that was what I was going to do. I was impressed that he wasn't totally into selling me on it. He was very clear that I was not going to get solar for free. Those advertisements are not correct, and that's not what this program does. I will get billed a monthly bill, whereas all of the other companies, when you're calling in and you're seeing an ad on TV and they say it's free, they're not really telling you the truth.

    The signup process was fine. The installation was very difficult because I have a 78 year old house with the original rafters. Sunrun's first design was to put the panels on the old house. I had had solar people come out and give me bids before, but that was to buy it myself. But one of the solar people who came out and gave me a bid said, “You should put it on your garage, because your garage is recent and the roof is new.” You can see all the rafters from the inside, so you know exactly where to put the panels and not take a chance on doing something wrong.

    My garage is detached, so what they had to do was the panel was on my house and they ran a tube across the roof from the panel down the side of the house. They told me that it was required by the city of Upland to dig a tunnel underneath the ground and then go up onto my garage, which is where the panel is. The solar panel is on the side of the garage because the garage gets sun 18 hours a day. Now, my SoCal Edison bill is always negative 60. The first was negative 90. Last summer, the lowest negative was 42.

    I like Sunrun as a company, and the service was great. They did an excellent job. I didn't have a problem with the price, but I've referred probably three other people, and they came back and said Sunrun was more expensive than a lot of other solar companies. Still, you get what you pay for. When they came out and did the presentation for us, the experience was pleasant. The initial presentation was the rep wanted to see where we wanted the panels, how much energy we wanted them to generate, and how much we want to offset our utility bill. So based on how much we wanted to offset our utility bill, he took that information down and did a workup on how many panels we needed to reach that goal. We had given them about three months of electric bills, and he used that as a basis for determining how many panels we would need.

    After that, he came back with the actual number of panels and the cost. We went with it right then and there. We decided on 21 panels. The installers came in the morning. They had a crew of about eight people, and they did what they needed to do. I stayed out of their way. They’re the pros. Once they had everything installed, they had to be inspected by the city, so that was another week or so. We didn't really notice anything for about a month. It had to cycle or do whatever it does for about a month, and then we noticed that it had kicked in and the electric bill had dropped. We've noticed a major difference. We've had 100% savings. Overall, Sunrun, is a great company to go with.

    WARNING, DO NOT PURCHASE SOLAR PANELS FROM SUNRUN. We purchased our second set of panels from SunRun in June 2025 (they purchased the company we originally dealt with). When speaking with our sales rep David ** he assured us that as soon as the final inspections were complete he would have his guys return to install both critter guards as well as snow guards on the new panels. He also agreed to supplement the cost of critter guards on the original set of panels since they have had to come out and make repairs to our system caused by squirrels chewing through wires.

    Since that time I have received no follow up calls from the company. I have placed three calls to them in an attempt to follow up. Each call has resulted in the person taking my call taking all of my information then telling me I would be transferred to the appropriate department. When I spoke with that person I had to supply all of the same information again only to be told I would be on a "brief hold" so they could look up my information. These holds usually lasted for 5 to 15 minutes. When they returned they informed me they needed to speak with David about this issue and asked if I had received anything in writing. I advised them I did not but David assured me it was fine since everything was being done on a recorded line. I was again put on a "brief hold" lasting another 10 to 15 minutes. One lasting for 45 minutes and then being disconnected.

    On my last call, my fourth call, I spoke with a customer service rep, Mindy and again supplied her with all of my information telling her about the promises made to us by David. She placed me on another "brief hold" about 10 minutes while she attempted to reach David. When she returned she informed me he did not answer even though his call box said he was available and informed me she would send an email to him as well as his supervisor Makenna ** detailing my complaints. I was Cc on the email. It has been days since this email was sent and I have received no follow up calls or emails, as expected. This company does NOT follow through with any customer complaints. As soon as your panels are installed you are a forgotten party. They may as well delete you from their contact lists. DO NOT PURCHASE YOUR SOLAR SYSTEM FROM SUNRUN. YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DO!

I live in California, so it's out 95% of the time. When you get the Nest thermostat, there are also these contests and they tell you to power down from a specific window of time, and you earn points. I do that a lot too.

    Having a solar energy system with Sunrun, I like that I don't have to pay an electric bill. They say I produce more than I use.

They had to get all the city permits and it took a little bit while, but they were very professional. I have a battery backup too, so they had to put a new panel in so that they could put the eight circuits. When the power goes out, it's 30 seconds and my power is back on. It's pretty cool.

    Sunrun bought out the company we got our first set from so our sets of panels are now both under Sunrun. They're all on the same bill which is about $300 or $400 a month. But people's bills out here are probably $600 or $700. Now I get a negative on my bill from Southern California every month. I like my solar panels and I recommend them to people if they ask me.

    I met a guy who had solar installed and I was concerned about energy costs. He told me about the broker he used and his positive experience, and I contacted the broker. When I decided to switch over to Sunrun, there was a glitch because the city was being difficult about approving the system. They said my power box needed to be grounded. I told them it was grounded, with a grounding rod and a large copper wire bolted onto it, but they said they couldn’t see it.

    The inspector was scheduled three times. The first time, my son was home and I was on vacation, and it was last-minute scheduling. Sunrun was trying to get the system approved because it had already taken about a month and a half for paperwork to go through. The guy left and I found out about it, so I contacted him again. I used a borescope camera to drop into the wall and capture the copper connection going up to the box. I provided that to the city inspector, and he signed off on it.

    Sunrun offered a battery but I declined. I’m just renting the system, and I paid it off in case I sell the house so someone can assume the agreement. I don’t trust battery technology yet. A neighbor had a near-meltdown in his garage with a battery a couple of years ago, and they’re still not sure why. I understand electronics and electricity but what they're doing right now is not the best way to do it with the batteries they have. It was a cheap, quick and dirty way to do it and they need to spend more money and time figuring out the kind of storage.

    The installation crew was a subcontractor and the salesperson was separate, and Sunrun handles billing and paperwork. Sometimes I get batches of emails from SDG&E, a net metering or consumer group, and Sunrun, and it’s not always clear how to put all the information together. I’m paying a lot less for power now than when I was just going through SDG&E, and I haven’t reached the breakeven point yet. It would be helpful if I could be provided a comparison chart showing where I was, where I am now, and where I will be.

    A salesman came to the door from Vivint, and he made a proposal for the solar panels. My wife and I talked about it, then the salesman came by about three days later and we told him we’d go ahead and do it. They arranged for the solar panels, the inspections, and all the paperwork. They sent a guy out and he inspected the roof, then he made his report and another guy came out. They measured all that they were gonna put on, and when he left, another guy came and they sent all of the paperwork for me. They did everything and to have it all installed with absolutely no money out of my pocket is amazing.

    Making the switch was straightforward and I didn't lay out one time. It went from an interview and presentation to signing, and then, all of a sudden, people were out here doing the installation. The guys came in and they cleaned up. They were also very careful and pleasant to be around and I enjoyed talking to them while they were working.

    The change was subtle and I never even knew the difference as far as the warmth of my house. It depends on what people set their thermostat at. I've had no reason to not enjoy solar. My power bills went down. I'm satisfied because I haven't had any problems and hopefully, that continues.

    I had solar panels from Sunrun via Costco installed in 2021 with a back up battery which we purchased outright. The process was very easy, the installers were great. Within about 8 months we started getting issues with our panels not communicating properly to the app or the grid, so a tech came over and rectified the issue. There was no charge.

    About a month ago (4 1/2 years after installation), we have the same or similar problem. I contact the company who are now demanding a fee of $561 just to come out to essentially diagnose the cause. Although they are now wording it as a “Service” to ensure that our panels are working to their optimum level on the Docusign document to sign before they will come out. Obviously the cost to rectify the issue will be also added, meaning this could get very expensive very quickly as I will be expected to believe the cost of the necessary repair be the market rate of what they demanding. Very disappointing.

    We've been dealing with Sunrun for two years now and so far, their customer service has been excellent. One of the reasons why we were going with the panels on the roof was because of two things. We wanted to go to renewable energy, and also, the fact that our electric bill would be considerably reduced. Since going solar, our electric bill is definitely considerably less. Everything has been working wonderfully. So far, so good.

    I had been looking at going solar for a long time. I went with Sunrun, and based on what I wanted and what I got, I wasn't very happy. I wasn't happy with what they gave me. I have the storage battery. I wanted the Tesla but they gave me SolarEdge. I also wanted 20 panels, but they only gave me 14. But during installation, my experience went relatively smoothly except for one glitch. They had to come back and work on my panel because my dryer kept tripping the breaker, and they had to get an electrician out here to rewire it.

    A young lady was walking in the neighborhood, and she was talking to someone, and my neighbor said she was doing the solar panels. I called her and told her I was interested in hearing what it was about. The presentation was good. The reps talked about the panels and roughly what it would cost. At the time, I was looking into getting a new roof and we talked about that because the roof was in terrible shape. They couldn't put the panels on it. I've talked to different people and listened to the prices. But Sunrun could do my roof at a more reasonable price. The young lady checked into it and looked to see if I was qualified, and we went through the procedure.

    The guys came and did the roof. After they stripped everything off, the inspectors had to come and inspect to make sure any bad or rotting wood was replaced. They inspected it, and after the roof was finished, the inspector came again. They also had to install another panel because of the solar panels, so someone was sent to install that. Everything required an inspection. The installers came, installed the panels, and it was okay. I have between 9 and 13 panels and I now have savings on my electric bill. I have credit with my electric company, with just a slight charge that’s not really for the electricity. The credit keeps adding up. When we have outages in California, it’s not a long period of time, and it’s divided into areas. So, I didn’t need a backup battery. Pricewise, the solar panels are reasonable. I recommend Sunrun to one of my girlfriends, and she got it.

    Our neighbor was getting the system on first, and they had just moved in, so I didn't introduce myself at all when they were first moving in. They were getting the system installed on the second day, and I went up there and finally introduced myself. I said, “Hey, what do you guys think of that?” I asked them, and the lady was very nice. She said, “Let me get you my son, because I don't speak that great English.” He was the one that encouraged getting them, and I said, “Okay. I'm gonna see what's more.” At Costco, I always see the Sunrun person and I just walk by them. However, having more people getting something interests everybody. “How come that person has it and how come that person has it? Why do we not have it?” That's how we got the system.

    We were walking out of Costco, and the Sunrun guy gave us a pamphlet, so I looked into it a bit. I do work for an insurance company, so I know a lot about energy and I was interested. We called the number, then they came out and gave us more information about it, then my husband and I decided to do it. Enrolling with Sunrun was a great experience. The rep came and explained everything to us very thoroughly. He even said, “If you guys have any questions afterwards, give us a call.” Everything is functioning and we see the amount of energy produced in our bill. It comes in the statement.

    We still have a payment that we do to ComEd, but sometimes, especially in the summer, we don't even get a bill from them because we accrued that much energy. Now that winter is finally passing through, we had to pay an amount, and my husband and I said, ‘Man, I can't wait for summer so we don’t have to pay for anything.” Sunrun has an app where I can go in and get the bill, and I can ask it to break things down for me, or I could just read it. There was a point where I thought, “I don't know what that means.” I texted the guy that installed the system, and he explained to me a bit about it. He said I could call the number too, but it was so much easier going through him.

    Sunrun said, “Hey, if you refer somebody, you can get an incentive.” It was a referral thing and I said, “Oh, okay,” but we have no family around us. I really like Sunrun's products, but I am so not good at explaining things as well. Still, I can tell people, “If you are interested in wanting to know a bit more about it, contact this person.”

    Overall, Sunrun did a decent job. I was able to reach them, and they billed us properly. The system was operational most of the time. But beware because we had some issues and we don't know if we saved much. You need to do your research before you commit to that. I was at a Home Depot and someone from Sunrun approached me asking if we would be interested in putting solar panels on our house.

    Initially, we had a lot of problems as far as getting the system installed. It was a very lengthy delay between when we first signed the contract and when they could do the installation. After the installation, there were several more months before the system was operational. A few months after the system became operational, it failed and we had to wait several more months for them to repair it. But much to their credit, they sent me some compensation checks and they stopped the billing. They at least tried to assist us with the fact we were not generating our own power.

    However, Sunrun made it sound like we would get tax breaks when I was first approached, but we then found out that, because we were leasing, we were not eligible for any tax breaks because we had solar panels. I don't know if we saved any money because we paid a monthly lease. The system did save us money in the summertime. But in the winter, when there was very little sunlight, it made no difference. It's hard to say in retrospect whether it was a good financial decision.

    Freedom Forever approached me about having solar panels on my house and they installed the solar panels. I pay Sunrun $45 a month and they manage the transfer and sale of the electricity I have generated from the solar panels. Then, I get a monthly statement or a statement about how much electricity I have generated. I have eight panels on the house, and they took the two-year average. I’m a little disturbed that in those two years, I was gone in the summertime, and the air conditioner was set at 90. And that goes back to what happens when I get my PNM bill. This year, Sunrun is charging me $49.26 a month, and I interpret that as a monthly payment. It's a 25-year contract, and it goes up a little bit every month, every year. If you multiply that, I'm paying off those solar panels because when I was first approached about them, there was no cost for the installation.

    In January, my PNM bill was $13, and the highest it got in June through September 2025, when I was home, was around $13.05. In comparison, January last year was $35, and January 2023 was $54. Before I got Sunrun in November 2023, my electric bill was $123 in August or September, and in July 2023 was $135. So compared to those months, I am seeing lower PNM bills. So, I’m saving. But after doing an annual analysis comparing what I pay Sunrun plus PNM versus what I used to pay, I might be about even overall. I’m not necessarily saving money, but I'm doing my part to give us an alternative to electricity.

    I considered adding a solar panel to get my solar energy production to exceed my usage, so I wouldn't have to pay PNM anything, but Sunrun said I’d have to go through a completely new contract with the state for the design. And that’s not worth it. But I knew about the green, yellow, and red zones, and my neighborhood was yellow, so I jumped in. The selling factor for me was that I didn’t put any money out. A friend of mine put out $10,000 to have solar panels put on. So, not having to put any money out, it was a yes for me.

    Doing the analysis of how much usage your house uses is important to be sure you’re giving accurate numbers. I did my June, July, and August for the two years they took averages on, and it was not a realistic usage. People need to make sure they’re giving true historical usage before determining how many panels they need. I sent this guy to a friend’s house, and she was blown away when they did her analysis. She hadn’t realized how much electricity she was using. She has 33 panels on her flat roof, and I have eight. She had her mother on oxygen and air conditioning, so they were probably overusing it because of that, and she got a better result.

    Sunrun has a beautiful website, but it's vague. Still, we got the panels and switching to solar was easy. Sunrun offers a great deal. It feeds across. We get one for our voltage that we put across versus receive. That's all good. That's probably part of the local utilities more than anything else, but I thought we were gonna have a much better savings in general. The overall service went great. They had a heck of a time with the city. Some of the ordinances are a pain in the butt, but they took care of everything. Also, I'm not happy with anybody getting on my roof for any reason and I told them ahead of time that if the installers twist their foot on that roof, they're gonna ruin it. I was watching them closely during install and they did well. In general, everything went well.

    The system is saving us a little money and I'm happy with it. Our electric bill averages around $35, plus the lease we pay to Sunrun. That's 105. That's less than what our electric bill was before. However, when their reps came to my door and talked to us, they told us things that weren't in the contract. The first one was if our bill was over $35 a month within the year, they would reimburse us. The second one that didn't come about, they said if we ever wanted them removed, it was no charge. They'd remove them and that was a lie. It's not like it was a surprise, but I emailed corporate to let them know that those people told us quite a few stories. But then I never heard anything from them, so I dropped it.

    I've been in solar since 1986. When I was over in Mexico, I was a snowbird down on the Baja. At the time, that was the first time that I heard that Sunrun was a big company in solar. Then, when I came here to Florida and they started opening up to come into Florida to get the solar, I wanted solar. So, I decided I would go with one of the largest companies in the United States. Before, I had Marine Batteries where you would buy the panels and set things up yourself. Compared to that, my setup with Sunrun works very well. I have a lease, then I also purchased seven panels because I bought the batteries. The battery backup is cool when there's a hurricane and everything goes out. With it, all of a sudden, you have electricity.

    I've have Sunrun for at least four years and so far, the electricity bill is less than $40 a month. But then the lease is 103, so that's not bad. Down here in Florida, in a house my size, which is a three-bedroom, two-bath ranch, you could have an electric bill of around 190. And sometimes in the summer months, when the air conditioner's going, you could have over $200. So I'm still below the average. Last February, we had a lot of cloudy days and I had days where I was going onto the grid. But I get at least one month free a year. Then this year, my $40 bill went down to 21 for the month of February. So it's not huge savings, but I am getting savings.

    I told everybody to only go with Sunrun and the ones that ended up with another contractor are not happy. The only problem I have with Sunrun is I have two systems and they only see the system that I'm leased with. I have 28 panels and they keep saying I got 21 and I'm getting all kinds of energy. So, they never see the system. But I can deal with that.

    Sunrun does good work. Their customer service was excellent. They answered all our questions and helped us with the paperwork. The process was quite an ordeal. They didn't want to put solar panels on a house with no insulation, and we had insulation but it was not up to par. So, we took care of that. It took a while, and it was a year process. We had 18 solar panels installed on the front and then there are some on the back, too. The installation was quick. Once the insulation was in and we got approved, it was a one day deal that they put the solar panel, and then there was another day to hook it all up.

    We're getting our battery pack installed on February 10th. We're gonna do it because when we don't have the solar panels working and it's not sunny out, we're using regular fuel and that's still costing us a lot of money, especially with the cold weather. Some months, we didn't pay at all. The other months were very good, and then we paid a lot of money for electricity and heat the last two months even though we have the Sunrun solar panel. The battery backup will eliminate that because it'll store the energy. We're not saving money as much as I thought, but that's only because of the way the house is set up. It's got a high ceiling. When the sun is out, it's very efficient.

    When it's really cold out, we're saving a little bit, but not near as much if we get the battery packs. Our electric bill last month was 600 bucks. We also have Eversource, which is gas, and that was $300. Then, we have the Sunrun bill, which is 180. Normally, it's 150 bucks and the Eversource is $60. If we have the battery backup, the gas will be the same. If the battery packs hold up, it'll be zero on the National Grid side and then we'll just pay an average monthly fee of 130 for the batteries. If we ever lose power, it stores two days. Then, as it is sunny the next day, it recoups another two days. So, we don't ever run out of power. So, the battery packs is a pretty good idea. I wish they would have done that from the get-go. They came back and offered it later because the bills were high.

    Overall, going with Sunrun was a great idea. It's absolutely worth it. They were really on top of their game. They keep in contact you. They answer the phone and they get back to you. You can always get ahold of somebody and find out answers. It's first class all the way. It's much better compared to National Grid and Eversource. Everything is very self-explanatory on the bill. The cost was just a little higher than I thought. I thought everything was free, but it's just free to get going and then you get a monthly bill. Maybe I misunderstood, but they made it sound like it was free and it really wasn't. The Sunrun app, which is a website is live and you can find out exactly what your house is doing. It's a good service. It doesn't really tell you what you would have paid if you didn't have it. You have to figure that out for yourself if you can do that.

The snow this year has put a damper on my production though. I'd also love to be making more money for the solar that I produce. But that's not a Sunrun issue.

    The customer service with Sunrun was pretty good. They convinced me to get the system. The installation was good as well. They were very informative and let me know what they were doing. They also let me know how they were gonna install the system and the thing that was gonna change 'cause I had to get a new box for my basement. They explained it to me step by step. Having Sunrun, my light bill has been lower. It's mostly lowered in the summer more than in the wintertime. The panels are quite nice as far as I can see them when I'm coming into my block and when I'm getting ready to leave out of my block. I tried to get someone to go with Sunrun, but Sunrun couldn't install their solar energy system because of the way their roof was made.

    We have been happy with Sunrun. We were thinking about solar panels when my husband was shopping at Costco and walked towards the people from Sunrun. They came to our house and we decided to go with them. They were very professional. We asked questions. They explained to us what would happen with the installation. We had people come over and measure. Everything went smoothly. We tried to reach Sunrun afterwards once or twice. We might have had a bit more difficulty reaching anybody. But we were able to, and our question was answered. They started billing us. They are taking the money directly from our checking account every month with no problem. We decided to go with the lease option, so we pay so much a month. When we sell the house, it will come with the house. People who will buy the house will have to continue paying the $110 a month. That will be their choice, whether they buy the house or not.

    Our neighbor across went with another company because they wanted to put the panels on the east side in the front of the house. We thought that was not a good idea because there is more shade than on the other side. So, we ended up going with another company and the panels on the west side of the house. The system works very well. Our electric bill is way down. That's what we were looking for. $18 a month instead of $80. We have an electric car. We have all kinds of electric batteries, tools for the garden and the house. So, we are in favor of electric. But we also put air conditioning. One of the neighbors next door is against it, but we are in favor of it.

    I am writing to formally express my frustration and disappointment regarding my solar panel system. My system has not generated any energy since 07/10/2025. Today is 02/18/2026, which means I have been without production for over seven months. During this entire time, I have continued paying my electric bill in full. This situation has been extremely unacceptable. Technician appointments are repeatedly scheduled, but the technician never shows up. The appointments are constantly rescheduled for another date. After nearly six months of this, I was finally informed that the required part has not arrived, which is why the technician has been unable to complete the repair.

    It is unacceptable that a company would allow a customer to wait six months for a replacement part. Now I am being told that the part is damaged, yet it has taken over half a year just to order it. This entire situation has been a nightmare. I do not recommend this company to anyone based on my experience. I expect an immediate resolution, clear communication, and a definitive repair date.

    The representative from Sunrun who did the presentation was great. He explained that I would save money, and so far, I’ve saved a lot of money, especially with utilities going out of control. I looked into how expensive solar was and Sunrun showed me how the government pays for everything, and I just have to make a payment every month to them. The installation company drove a ground rod right through my water main. They fixed it, but it didn’t happen right away. They installed everything on a Friday, and Saturday morning, my yard was flooded. At first, I thought it was where they had connected new water lines from a few years ago, but it turned out to be about 30 feet away, where they drove the ground rod in. Other than that, it was okay. They covered everything well.

    Sunrun put 30 panels on my roof, but didn’t offer the battery backup when I got mine. Still, when the snow doesn’t cover the panels, the system produces more than enough energy. I don’t have an electric bill except in the wintertime. I just wish there were some kind of heating system to melt the snow off the panels.

    I was a physics teacher and I thought about using solar energy. One day, a Sunrun guy showed at my door and the way it had been presented was a good thing. My sister-in-law in California had been looking into it and had gone with installing batteries and all that stuff in her house. This was a whole lot lower cost way to get into it and it seemed like a good thing to do. So far, it's been a very positive experience and I haven't had any troubles with Sunrun at all. The installation has gone the way that the company had described it to go and it was seamless.

    The switch-over was clean and without any hiccups. We've had a couple power outages, but that wasn't Sunrun's fault. They were general power outages and because of how it's set up, I was out of power just like the rest of the neighborhood. The only problem that I've ever had is having too much snow on the roof and that’s not a company problem. Everything has operated exactly as it was described to us as we were getting into it and I would recommend Sunrun to a friend.

    Working with Sunrun was pretty easy. They were more frustrated with trying to work with my utility company, which is no fault of theirs. Sunrun installed the system on the roof in August. We had it up and running, generating electricity in November. Most of the delay was dealing with the utility company. They actually put a new roof down before they installed the panels. They had a promotion that if I leased the panels, then they would give me a new roof and then put the panels on.bThat was one of the enticing factors for me to go with Sunrun.

    hen they installed the system, they told me that it was only guaranteed to produce 70% or 75% of our usage. Depending on the weather, I have found that some months we produced more than we consumed, and there were some months where we produced less. The excess electricity is credited to my utility account. I would recommend Sunrun because when I've talked with other people who have had solar panels with smaller companies, over time some of those smaller companies have disappeared and they have no recourse for service if something comes up.

    So far, we've had one issue. It took Sunrun a little bit of time to resolve, but they eventually did resolve it. They were pretty responsive when I called them up and told them the system wasn't working. They’d come out and troubleshoot to figure out what was going on and get it up and running as soon as they could. The individuals that I worked with at Sunrun were easy to work with. They were very pleasant, polite, and responsive.

    I leased a solar system from Sunrun, expecting lower electric bills and professional system monitoring. Instead, I was charged monthly while my system produced virtually no electricity for most of 2025. From February through September 2025, my system generated 0 kWh for multiple consecutive months (with only minimal production in June). Despite this, Sunrun continued charging my full lease payment through autopay. During that period, I paid over $1,300 while receiving little to no solar production.

    A technician who serviced the system in late September informed me that it had malfunctioned for most of the year. Production only resumed after that visit. I was never proactively notified that my system was not producing. When I raised the issue, it was framed as an “underproduction guarantee” matter based on an annual 90% calculation. However, this was not a seasonal shortfall — it was a prolonged system failure while billing continued uninterrupted.

    After repeated follow-ups, a credit was issued months later, but no detailed explanation was provided showing how the amount was calculated. The credit appears significantly less than what was paid during the outage. Sunrun advertises system monitoring, maintenance, and performance protection. In my experience, the system malfunctioned for months without notice while billing continued. Consumers should closely monitor their production and billing rather than assume oversight is occurring. I am sharing this so others carefully review their production data and monthly charges.

    SUNRUN rep convinced us to purchase a system in 2023 that would supply 85% of our electricity and a backup battery since we are in Florida where we lose electricity especially with storms to the sum of $54,000. The back up Battery NEVER worked when we lost electricity for over 2 years, I have been asking for refund or replacement of the battery for greater than 2 years unsuccessfully. They keep coming out stating it’s fixed now but when we lose electricity it never works.

    The last visit for the battery was 11/2025, as usual they stated it’s fixed, however we have not had any storms, however, we did a test shutting down the electricity to the house and the battery did not back up yet again. So I guess we still have to wait again for another storm to find out if this battery will work even though it has NEVER WORKED. They attempted to give $900 credit for the fact that this battery has not worked since installation , however given that the battery has never worked and we paid $9,000 for the battery plus thousands for installation was not fair and equitable. Their offer cannot be a resolution given the history of this battery. I have been asking for replacement for years and they have ignored my request. Secondly, the panels have been having performance issues and underperforming.

    I submitted a 2 year history of my electric bill to the customer service representative assigned to my case JUSTIN HOLCOLMB, showing a 300% increase in my electricity bill since May 2025 and he has been ignoring all my communications for the past few months.

    Despite failure to resolve the issues with many, many service calls and the fact that I keep having the same issues with the system, they are asking me for a $600+ deposit to come out and address the issue AGAIN. BUYERS BEWARE THEIR 25 year warranty is not as it seems. I am being told since I own the system, I have to pay $600+ for a technician to come out to service this defective system I have had for less than 3 years.

Today is 2/12/26. The salesman who sold us the contract for additional panels refuses to answer my phone calls. I called Sunrun again on 2/7/26 and was told that I would receive a callback from a supervisor on 2/9 or 2/10 regarding the problems.

    Today is 2/12/26 and I had to call Sunrun yet again to find out why I have not received any calls from them. My “case” has now been escalated to a manager and I have to wait for them to call me back in the next few days. I am beyond frustrated. I think that the customer service at Sunrun is one the worst that I have ever had to deal with. I would not recommend them to anyone because I would not want to hear how awful the experience is. The agents at Sunrun are all very nice when they are trying to sell you something but after you sign the contract you are on your own if you have any problems with the system. I now have to wait for someone to call me back regarding our current issue but I have little hope of hearing from anyone who can assist us with our problems.

    Sunrun's installers broke a lot of tiles on the roof. They came and took care of it, but it made the process longer. Other than that, we don't have an electric bill besides Sunrun. I have an app that I can check the systems daily, so that's good. Make sure you go through the contracts and all the good stuff, and double-check what Sunrun will do.

    Sunrun offered to do put the panels on the roof for free. The installers were very polite. The panels were installed mostly on the garage because the garage is on the northern part of my house. But for some reason, they thought that they needed to put new roofing on there before they did the panels. So they did that too for free. They went above and beyond.

    I wish I’d never even heard of Sunrun! Poor and shady sales, blatantly lied and I feel sick I fell for the pitch. Now I am paying $1800 more since having these panels installed than if I’d stuck with utility company. We were told that we would save hundreds in the first year and that it would make our house easier to sell. Both are lies and I just want this all to be gone but no one at sunrun cares. All they say is that the system is working correctly. I’m so upset.

    My neighbor got solar panels, and I also read an article in the Norwalk papers that mentioned it. I got interested and signed up with Sunrun. It was long and tedious, but it was successful. I'm so happy with the results that I got the Tesla Powerwall from them as well. It has an app that tells you what you’re producing. My family members should get solar panels and I tell them that. They should invest in it. It’s worth it, especially if you live in one of those cold-weather states where your electricity bill goes up high in the wintertime for heating and then high in the summertime for heating. My electricity bill is now $22.

The salesperson, Kyle, whom we dealt with and we still deal with once in a while, was amazing. He answered all our questions. Their customer service has been excellent.

    I've been interested in solar for a very long time, and the opportunity came up from Sunrun to install the system, no cash out of pocket and a $260 maintenance fee every month, which was half of my electric bill. We have 15 panels, which was a number determined by the electric company. They don't want people to get too much solar power. We still are on the grid.

    I track production on my Sunrun charts. Normally, from spring through fall, I've got credit coming back on my electric account. In the winter, when the daylight hours are shorter and there's more rain, sometimes I have to pay. The only issue I have is lack of maintenance. I haven't heard from Sunrun in a couple of years. I reached out to them asking about the annual maintenance and I haven't heard back. Other than that, my experience has been good. It was totally worth it to have solar panels installed and I'd do it again in a minute.

    I've had solar panels for about 15 years. A year ago I got the Sunrun backup batteries. Do Not sign up for this service! Their salespeople flat out lied about how much money I would make from selling the energy in the battery back to PGE. They even have an app that calculates how much you would make. Truth is that the energy companies which buy the electricity from you do not have a dollar to dollar value. One month I had a $1,400 credit (from the year's true up) and the next month it was only $800. The PGE rep told me that the $1,400 isn't really worth that, only about 2/3's of it. She couldn't explain how that math works out.

    Furthermore, instead of taking my monthly electric charges out of whatever is left of my true up, they only give me a portion for some reason. This month it was $30 of my total bill (leaving $100 for me to pay), last month it was $50 credit and I still had to pay $30 (this is just for the electric part of the bill). The system was supposed to pay for itself, and it would have on paper. Unfortunately they don't tell you that your electric company doesn't have to play by the same rules. Get this system at your own risk, but you will not make anything near what the salespeople quote you. This system is in the desert of California, tons of sun.

    My system inverter (Solar Edge) failed less than 2.5 years after activation. The inverter is covered by manufacturer warranty for several years, but Sunrun tried to charge me over $500 for labor since the system was over 1 year old. I am refusing to pay this outrageous amount for labor for that was 2 hours at most. This is a rip-off. When you buy a car and warranty repair is needed before the warranty expires, the auto dealer that repairs it charges the labor to the manufacturer. Sunrun should do the same and have Solar Edge pay for the labor during the warranty period, NOT THE CUSTOMER! This is just wrong.
