When I bought my house, it already had the solar panels. So, I decided to keep it. The lady that I bought the house from disconnected it. I went through the process to get the Sunrun on my name. It was approved, and I got them. I had an issue once. It wasn't connected because it needs Wi-Fi. I finally reached out to them. And they came over and fixed it. Now, I can see the production, and I can see how much I gotta pay every month. It's working. But I'm still paying 260 on electric plus solar panels. I don't see much benefit. I'm hoping that by the time it's paid off, maybe I can get a lower bill. 'Cause right now I'm paying 110; some are at 70. It's a different amount every month.
Jose, we can understand why you're frustrated. Going a full year without seeing the savings you expected would be incredibly disappointing.

It's been a while since I've wanted to get solar panels to see if we could save a little bit on our electric bill. Also, I was introduced to Sunrun through one of the shops that I went to visit, which is Lowe's. There was a representative, and they asked me if I wanted to do a trial, and I said yes. I've been pretty happy with it ever since I got it. Aside from the power bill going down, everything seems to be running smoothly.
Recently, they asked if I wanted to get a battery installed, which I was kind of looking at before I was offered. The representative also mentioned that with it, should anything like that happen, it'll run on the generated power from the battery. The whole staff has been very friendly. I like the lower cost on the electric bill because once in a while, it won't even be anything higher than $12. And the whole thing is to have a set price. I've been saving more, so that's a huge plus. And I have power, which is very good, and I get to track how much power is generated through the app. Sunrun is an amazing service. I enjoy it, and I definitely see myself using it in the long run.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Steven! It's exciting to hear how much you've enjoyed having solar and that you've decided to add a battery to your system. We're proud to help power homes across America!

To start off we signed up for solar due to the very high cost of electricity from Ameren Illinois. Our bill was also unpredictable. Tron was quick on installation but left a small mess of wires and other scrap I had to clean up. I was surprised by the length of time it took to get the installation approved by Ameren and to getting it turned on. (3-4 months). Still waiting to see how our bill is actually affected. The battery back up is wonderful! We’ve had a couple of outages in our area and the battery kicks in automatically and keeps everything running. It’s like having a whole home generator.
We love hearing how well your battery has worked during outages, Cindy! We know the wait to get everything turned on was longer than expected, so we appreciate your patience and are happy you're enjoying the benefits of solar and storage!

I was looking at quite a few different solar companies, but my neighbor's son got Sunrun and he was very pleased with it. So, I ended up going with Sunrun. I'm an electronics technician, so I've been interested in solar for quite a few years. I couldn't put it on my other house because of the roof structure, but with my new house, I could. The dealer that came out here and we discussed it together. He was very knowledgeable, and he commented on how much I knew about the solar because being an electronics technician, I know quite a bit about what's going on with it. But other than that, the people who came out here, worked on the property, and did all the work on the property were very polite. They also cleaned up after everything and I have no complaints.
The transition process was a little bit long, but I kind of expected it on what was going on and weather-wise. It really was no problem and so far, everything is working very well. I'm very pleased with my Sunrun system. I built up some power towards the end of the season last year, but I had two electric bills during the winter, and that was about it. I've had zero on my electric bills all the way through the summer here, and I built up quite a bit on the Sunrun, so it should be good this winter. If anyone asks me about going with Sunrun, I'd encourage them to go with it.
It's wonderful to hear your system has been working so well, Raymond! We're glad the team took great care of your property and made the installation process smooth for you. Thank you for trusting Sunrun and encouraging others to make the switch!

I've been using Sunrun for more than a year now. I went with them because they were offering good solar panels and good batteries. Enrolling with them was good. My bills have gone down since going solar with Sunrun. Communicating with them has been okay as well. I got a 25-year lease. If I was paying a certain amount with PG&E, my bill in the end is gonna be lower. So, it kind of pays itself off over time. But it is less than what you would pay with PG&E.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Erik! We're glad the transition to Sunrun has been a positive one and that you're seeing a difference in your electricity costs. We're proud to help homeowners make the switch to solar and battery storage. Thanks for all your support!

I've had Sunrun for three years now. I have no complaints about Sunrun. They seem to be a pretty good organization. Certainly, when we had a problem, they were on top of it. In fact, they let us know we had a problem before we knew we had one. I can't ask for anything much better than that. Our experience with them has been pretty seamless. The only hang-up was that it took a little time for PG&E to be ready for the switch, but once the switch happened, it was utterly seamless. We didn't know from one day to the next that we'd gone from regular to solar. The installers did their job, and it was no bother to us inside the house at all. I would highly recommend Sunrun as a good company to work with.
Thanks for your kind words, Joan! We're glad the transition to solar felt so seamless and that our team has been there whenever you needed support. We really appreciate your continued trust in Sunrun over the last three years!

Sunrun kept coming and knocking at the door. I kept saying I didn't want to get involved in it until finally, my husband and I talked to them. With the way that Massachusetts rates are going up on everything, we decided we'd try Sunrun. They did the installation over a year ago, and it was okay. My husband is on oxygen, and they brought a generator so that he could still have his oxygen because we were going to have to cut some of the power in the house. That was very nice of them.
I wasn't too keen on the electricians though. We had a refrigerator down in the basement, and before they left, they made sure everything was working, but the refrigerator wasn't working. They said it must have done a power surge. The refrigerator has never worked after that so we just got rid of it. I wasn't too pleased with that. Also, one morning, we woke up with the oxygen machine screaming, and the power was out in the house. I called National Grid, and they came out and said it wasn't them. Everything looked okay on the outside of the house. All of a sudden, the power came back on again. It was very weird and nobody else in the neighborhood was having a problem. I called our electrician, and he came and said they did a shortcut on a few things, that it wasn't the best electrical job in the world and he fixed it.
Having Sunrun, I've seen some savings, but not a lot of it. I'm paying $181 every month for Sunrun and I noticed it went up five bucks in the past couple months. I would like to be informed and I would think they would tell me that the rate is going up before they actually put it up. The electric bill is not up to 300 bucks like it used to be with the air conditioning in the summer but my husband is surprised that we're still paying what we are for National Grid, and I want to find out why it's gone up five bucks a month for Sunrun.
We have a neighbor's tree that's hanging over our yard and we needed to have some of the tree branches that were leaning over to our house cut off in order for the panels to be safe. My neighbor can be very difficult and Sunrun tried to work with her. We were having so much trouble and we were supposed to get a rebate of 500 bucks because of the problem with the tree. I tried to get the rebate and never got it.

I have Sunrun solar. It works really as good as they said it would. HOWEVER, they told me my roof was fine, 2 years later I have 9 leaks. So I had to put on a roof and they will not pay for any of it. I showed pictures, in the attic and on the roof after removal of old shingles... They claimed that them paying to remove and replace the solar panels was their payment... I don't know about you, but, if I needed a new roof they would have paid for that 2 years ago so why not now. Be aware of anything the salesmen and workers say, you get rocked in the end. I am not happy at all with sunrun's way of taking care of their customers when they need them the most... I'm sorry does not work for me.

Overall the initial process of getting the paperwork done was fairly efficient. However, after the PPO completion I encountered an issue regarding the initial selection of my Sunrun - Tesla Flex program. This cause significant delay in my enrollment in the necessary program to switch over. Additionally, when the installation occurred, apparently my installers forgot to update the battery which resulted in a significant delay and actually storing electricity to my battery. While I do not fault any particular person, it resulted in a significant delay of me receiving services. Customer service, when called, seemed to have difficulty in resolving the issue with regard to me enrollment in the designated program. I was able to resolve this once I contacted Tesla directly.
Lastly, I was billed for a month of service that I did not receive and therefore am currently following up with customer service, AKA billing, to resolve the issue. I've been assured that I would receive information and be contacted regarding the issue. However I have not been contacted after almost 7 days. Overall I really want this program to work I just am worried about the attention to detail and the individual customer service required to carry out the necessary operational and administrative requirements.

I was in one of the Lowe's department stores one day, and I saw SunRun’s kiosk. I was always interested in solar, so I just asked a couple of questions, and they set me up with an appointment. A rep came out, and we went over the details, and I was pretty much sold at that point. I was interested in definitely saving money on my energy bill. They came out to let me know exactly how many panels and things like that I would need. And then they came out and evaluated the property at that point. Then we had another appointment for the actual install. Then there was another appointment for when they actually turned the system on to go live. The actual install that day took six hours. They told me beforehand, approximately, what to expect. And it went right about what I expected. The electrical bill wasn't what I expected, but it's a lot better than where it was before.
I got 16 panels. I got batteries. It's not the backup, but I wish I had received that at the time. Because I'm still doing research on it. But I'm told that if there is a power outage, it would keep the power in the house going. I called, but they said that it's not compatible with the system that I have, with the batteries that I have now. Hopefully, in the future, it becomes compatible, and I'll definitely be looking into it.
As far as the system itself, it works great. I just wish that I had been told more about the maintenance. Because it gets really dirty, and I don't think it's performing the way it should. You have to constantly get it cleaned. I wasn't told about that in the beginning. If I was, then I definitely could have made plans to get a cleaning service to come out annually or bi-monthly, whatever the case may be.
Whenever I look up there, those things are really dirty. When I contacted customer service, they said it could affect the performance slightly. When they come out and clean them, they go up on the roof itself. First, they power wash it, and then they have a brush that kind of rubs it. The whole process is not long at all. Maybe 10 minutes at the most. It's 150 bucks every time they come out. And that's pretty expensive.
It's great to hear your system is working well, Kent! We're happy the installation process went smoothly and appreciate your honest feedback about wanting more information upfront regarding battery backup and panel maintenance. Thank you for choosing Sunrun as your trusted solar and storage provider!

Everything went well in the process of switching to Sunrun. They also put battery storage in. It definitely helps given the hot days we've had, and at night, ‘cause we had to run the AC. So, it's definitely a benefit. The installation was very smooth. The only hiccup we had was getting the final sign-off between them and the city. I don't believe that was Sunrun's issue. That was more the city being slow and difficult. But other than that, everything else went along just fine. They were very informative and attentive. They responded really quickly when it came to any of our questions or concerns. They were very knowledgeable and very professional all the way around.

Back in 2012, a Sunrun representative came by my house and spoke to me about going solar. I'm on a lease program with Sunrun, so I have the expense of paying for the lease. But as far as my electrical bill from PG&E, it has gone down substantially. My Sunrun system has progressed in three stages. I started out first with 24 panels, then on the second installation, another 13 were added. Then on my third installation, I had eight panels added along with the Tesla battery pack. When the power failed in our area, the battery kicked in and I've had power when my neighbors had been shut down. It kicks right in and I hardly know that the power was off, except if I go out and see the street lights off, and my neighbors don't have any power.
All in all, I'm very satisfied with Sunrun and I've had excellent customer service from them. There was one instance after my system had been up, about two or three years that the inverter box went out, and they came right out, replaced it, and took care of it. Their online service is also very easy to use and the response is really good. I have both a Tesla app and then the Sunrun app that I use.

A Sunrun salesman came walking around our block, and he came to the house. I invited him in, and he explained everything. I like the price reduction in electricity. These past days that were 90 degrees, when I got my electric bill, it was only $6.75. I'm very satisfied with my decision to go solar with Sunrun. I had a slight problem one time, and they came the next day and fixed it. It was an adjustment to the boxes that I have installed on the side of the house. The only problem I have is I don’t receive my monthly bill on time. I've called them a couple of times, and they want me to go electronic, but I don't want to go electronic. They're charging me extra to send me a paper bill, which I don't mind. Just send it. That's the only problem. Otherwise, they're doing great.

What sold Sunrun for me was the fact it was on a battery, and I could get to store energy, and I can also sell it back to ComEd and so that I get credit. I don't get money for it, but at least I get credit for having that. Everything was okay in the installation. The big hitch was not with Sunrun. The big hitch was with our homeowner’s association, strangely enough. They had to approve the whole thing, and it took a long time.
My wife's got an app on her phone to take a look at the level of charge. Everything has been pretty much consistent, and there are no hitches in it. We've had several outages in the neighborhood, but it's always recovered, or they have always responded to those outages, and we have power. So, we have no complaints that way at all. We've been very happy with Sunrun, and I would recommend it.

We were looking at possibly going solar, and it just so happened that Sunrun's reps were in the neighborhood. Also, my parents and my brother both have solar and told me about it. The installation was quick and they were very neat. I have a little bit of an issue with the nails they left behind in my gutters when they stripped the old roof off, but I don't blame Sunrun. I'm sure they're all independent contractors. But even the guys that were there were fantastic. They did a good job of picking up all the nails using magnets and things from the yard, but the stuff that went into the gutters looked like they were pretty much ignored because I could pull out handful after handful of nails. They also clogged up one of my gutters and that was how I found out the issue.
The bill that I'm paying right now is pretty much the average bill that I pay throughout the year. So, there's really no cost savings, at least as of now. As long as my payments don't have to go up with Sunrun, then I should be okay, and maybe in the long run I'll notice some savings. Other than that, they've done everything they promised, and I feel like I've gotten a lot of support. They emailed me, and they helped me with my concerns. I had snow cascade off my roof from the solar panels and crushed my gazebo that was just below it. So, they helped me come up with a solution, and they sent out a crew to come take care of that for me. So, that was great. I would tell my friends to give them a try and that they've been very good to me.

⭐ **1-Star Review – Very Disappointed with Sunrun**. I have been a Sunrun customer for the past 3–4 years, and unfortunately, my experience has been very disappointing. When I signed up, the sales representative made several promises that did not match my actual experience. I was told that my electric bill would be reduced to around **$30–$35 per month**. However, my bill never consistently went down as promised. Instead, I have continued to receive significant electric bills on top of my Sunrun payments. I was also told that I would receive approximately **$11,000 back from the IRS as a tax refund/credit** and that, after using that money toward the loan, my monthly payment would be around **$128**. That did not happen. I never received the promised $11,000 from the IRS, and my monthly solar loan payment has remained around **$190+**.
As a result, I have ended up paying approximately **$240–$250 per month when combining my Sunrun payment and electric bill**, and at other times my total monthly cost has still been **$140+**. This is nowhere near what I was led to expect when I agreed to the solar system. After 3–4 years, I cannot say that going solar with Sunrun has provided me with the savings that were promised during the sales process. My biggest concern is the significant difference between what I was told before signing the agreement and what I have actually experienced as a customer.
I have tried to understand and resolve these issues, but I am extremely frustrated with the situation. **If this matter is not properly addressed, I intend to file formal complaints with the Florida Office of Financial Regulation and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding the representations made during the sales process and the financial expectations that were presented to me.**
I strongly recommend that anyone considering Sunrun carefully verify **every financial, tax, savings, and loan-related promise in writing** before signing anything. Do your own calculations and make sure you fully understand the solar agreement, loan, electric bill, tax incentives, and total monthly cost. Based on my experience, I am very disappointed and **would not recommend Sunrun without thoroughly researching the numbers and getting every promise documented in writing.**

We went with SunRun’s battery and got solar panels. We’ve experienced many outages because of the storms. We're in Hawaii, so it’s been kicking in quite a bit. Then every time before a storm, it goes into that storm mode, and it charges up to 100%. So, we've been very fortunate. It was a very thorough presentation that they made, very well done, no pushing, just came up with all the alternatives and then just left the decision up to us. We're on net metering, and we have an initial 39 panels. So, it’s been pretty good. It helped us to keep it under just the lowest level of payment.
We love hearing how your battery has been there when you've needed it most, Wayne! It's great to know your battery automatically kicked in during the storm and that it has given you peace of mind during stressful times. We love having you as part of our Sunrun team.

The biggest mistake I ever made. They sell you the solar system and install it, but they’re not responsible for it afterward. If anything goes wrong, they just tell you to deal with the manufacturer. Then they want to charge $757.75 just to send a technician to inspect and fix it. They’re basically just a third party—they’re not much help when your solar system goes down. It feels like buying a car with a warranty but still having to pay the dealership to diagnose or repair it even though it’s covered.

I had thousand-dollar PG&E bills and switching to solar was easy. Sunrun did great job. They had to go over the paperwork and make sure I understood. That was a lengthy process, but it was worth it. The following day, the crew was here and hooked it all up. Everything was perfect. I had the installation done in two days. It was excellent and so are the people that we dealt with from Sunrun. We haven't even had the system a year yet, but so far, so good. As much as we've lost our power in where we live, we have never had to go without. So, I'm grateful for that.
Two, three, and four months ago, my PG&E bill was $5 or $3. Now I got a system, our regular PG&E bill is $70. I even got extra batteries for the solar. We've got two big battery panels out there. All winter we used the solar, but not the extent of how we're doing now with the air conditioning running all the time in this heat. So, we're using a lot more, and I can understand the PG&E bill going up if we used all the energy out of the batteries. With PG&E, even if we didn't have solar, they go by what we use. A lot of people say at the end of the year, I'm going to get another bill from true-up. I asked the Sunrun people, "Oh, it's nothing you have to worry about."
What does a true-up even mean? Nobody can explain it to me, but people have told me that. The way it was explained to me by two of the people in the neighborhood that have that, it comes from our solar system, Sunrun. Still, it can't be that much. The lady across street said $145 at the end of the year. That is still well worth not having a thousand-dollar PG&E bill, which is what I was having during the summers. Anywhere from 800 to 1,000. I got grandkids that don't know how to turn off a light, or got to have the air on all the time. It's crazy. My daughter and her kids also live here. This morning, 3 o'clock, I got up and turned off four big lights in the living room and the garage. It all adds up, eventually. I have some time and I'm going to call PG&E today. I don't understand if there's going to be a true-up at the end and I'm waiting to see. I can't complain at all until I find out what true-up is.

Duff came to my door and spoke about Sunrun. In Rio Vista, California, our stuff goes out constantly. So, the service is a backup for me. Everything worked smoothly in the process of them going through which generators to get. I got six panels and the two Tesla generators. The workers were very good and very thorough. They explained many things to me that I might have forgotten already. But for the most part, it was very easy. I am in an HOA, so I had to have it approved first.

There was a project on Kekaha going around that Sunrun was doing, and then a few months later, a representative came and talked to me about it, so I jumped on. I had the first eight panels installed a year later. Then I upgraded to the battery system. So, right now, I have 16 panels and two Tesla batteries, and it worked fine in the hurricane. I had power. So, it charged up. It had enough sun to charge them up so that I could last at least three-fourths of the first couple nights. Then the weather cleared up, so there was good sun during the day. I could last all night the last few nights. So, it really worked. It really saved me.

The ability to combine solar with the battery backup is great and that caught my interest in Sunrun’s service. We looked at several companies and they were prominent in our area specifically. With all the turmoil in the industry, they seemed to be a good way to go. They seem to be more legitimate than some of the other companies we talked to. Getting connected with Sunrun was easy, and we ended up dealing with a couple of people, and the process went smoothly. We've noticed a dramatic difference with our SDG&E utility bill but Sunrun itself, as a company, is still there. They still communicate.
People who are interested in Sunrun should do their due diligence and take a good look at them. Get at least another estimate and go from there. This is a $60,000 investment. So, there's a lot of work involved. Just with the design itself, we went through several iterations. So they should take their time. It worked great for us. It's a long-standing agreement, so you want to make sure you're dealing with a company that is likely to be around 25 years from now. Sunrun's financials in a troubled industry look solid.

I'm beyond frustrated with Sunrun. Years of equipment issues, poor customer service, ridiculous response times, and now I'm forced to pay for equipment that doesn't function. First, some background. Years ago when we were first working with our salesperson to plan our system, we asked for two estimates in writing - one for the system with battery included, one with no battery. Adding the battery increased our cost by $41 per month. Over the life of the contract, that's nearly $10,000. But our salesperson assured us it would pay for itself -- not only would we have the ability to run some of the house in the event of a power outage, but we'd also be able to store power and sell back to the utility at peak hours which would increase our utility credits and reduce any annual true-up charges. This seemed logical, so we accepted the proposal with battery included.
At startup the battery failed. It was eventually fixed, but later was the subject of a recall that required it to be used at reduced capacity from 2021 until 2023 (Sunrun did issue a small monthly credit during this time to compensate for the reduced capacity, which seemed fair and made the long delay much more palatable). The replacement eventually arrived and we had about 2 years where things finally were running properly.
But in May 2025, our battery went completely dead. Remote fix didn't work, on-site repair didn't work, and a replacement battery went on backorder. Communication was consistently poor. My messages were never returned, and two appointments were mysteriously cancelled after I'd taken time off work to be home (to let the technicians into the garage to access the equipment) because my dead battery "looked good" on their end. After several months, a new battery arrived and was installed, and then failed 2 days later. So the cycle repeated -- another backorder, another long wait, and then eventually another install. All told, the battery was down from May through December - seven months without a functioning battery.
During these 7 months, I inquired about billing -- specifically I asked why were we paying for a battery that wasn't functional? I was informed on two separate occasions that all compensation would have to wait until the new battery was installed -- that only when everything is back up and running would they evaluate what was owed. This seemed odd to me -- why am I paying for a feature that doesn't work? Nevertheless, I had no choice but to move on and hope that Sunrun would do the right thing once the battery was eventually back up.
With the battery finally back online in late December, and with no credits showing up on my January billing statement, I reached out to check the status. At this point, I was informed that no compensation is due because my solar panels generated the power required to meet the solar guarantee. In short, as long as the minimum power is generated, I am not entitled to any compensation for a non-functional battery (they did at one point offer me a one-time $75 credit for my "troubles"). But there is no battery guarantee (it's rather curious that this was never mentioned when I inquired previously -- that instead I was told "don't worry, we'll settle up when the ticket is closed and your system is back up").
There is no offset for my higher true-up bill, which was significantly higher than previous years. There is no compensation for paying for a battery that wasn't available during our three outages last year. I was astonished. I asked a hypothetical -- if the battery was non-functional for the entire remaining 13 years of my contract, would I still have the pay the $41 extra cost every month. The answer is yes, because the only guarantee relates to power generation. In short, paying for a battery doesn't actually guarantee you'll have a battery. Unfortunately the new battery didn't last long. Last month, we had our first power outage of the year and the battery failed to engage. Apparently it had been installed wrong. It was useless. And then hours later it went dead, again.
I contacted Sunrun to get service scheduled. To my surprise, this time the rep seemed eager to help and offered to have somebody onsite within days. I was thrilled that finally I was being treated seriously and cautiously optimistic that maybe Sunrun had turned a corner on customer service. But my optimism was quickly dashed -- mere hours after the appointment was set, a rep called me to tell that my problem had been "mistakenly marked as urgent" and he was cancelling my pending appointment. Nobody would be visiting this week, or the next. In fact the earliest opportunity would be weeks or months away. That was a month ago, and the first visit is still weeks away. In the meantime, I have a battery that has been non-functional for 10 out of the last 17 months, with no end in sight. But somehow Sunrun still manages to get paid for it. And apparently there's nothing that can be done about it.

Just wanna put this out here with all the electric crap all over the Internet and you’re thinking about getting solar. I’ve been fighting with First Vivint now Let me tell you about my experience with SunRun Solar. When we installed SunRun SolarSunrun, we had just purchased the house, so we did not have our own historical electric bills. I asked SunRun SolarSunrun to obtain or use the previous owner’s electric bills so the system could be sized using actual usage. They refused and told me that estimating our future usage was the best way to design the system. Apparently, guessing was considered accurate enough for a solar system costing around $50,000.
I now have 36 solar panels on my roof that I own and pay $288.33 every month for. At this point, they are basically a very expensive paperweight. A couple of weeks ago, Alex from SunRun Solar contacted me with some “exciting news.” During that conversation, she acknowledged that Sunrun no longer sizes systems the way mine was sized because of complaints from customers with situations like mine. So Sunrun now recognizes that the method was flawed—but I am still stuck paying for the system they designed using that method.
The situation became so serious that I was awarded $10,000 through the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office. That money was supposed to help cover future payments and the difference between my electric bills and what the solar system actually produces. That sounds helpful until you see the actual costs. The system performs reasonably well during the summer, but once September arrives, the electric bills start climbing. I usually do not get relief again until around April. Some months, my electric bill reaches $600, on top of the $288.33 monthly solar payment. So much for solar saving money.
Sunrun has done nothing meaningful to correct the problem. They relied on an estimate instead of actual usage information, installed a system that does not adequately meet the property’s energy needs and left me responsible for the financial consequences. Solar was supposed to reduce my energy costs. Instead, it has likely caused me to pay substantially more. Stay away from Sunrun. Before signing any solar agreement, independently verify the system size, production estimates, guarantees and every promise made by the salesperson. Once the panels are installed, you may be the one stuck paying for their “estimate"
We're really sorry to hear how frustrating this has been, Albert. We understand how disappointing it is to still be facing high electric bills after installing solar.

Sunrun was the first one to contact us. It has been a consideration for decades because initially, when they were trying to find ways to harness the sun's energy, what they used to do was have tanks of water and a big cabinet. They would open that up, and it would allow it to take in sun and heat the water was the initial way. You could close that up, and then use that overnight or if you didn't have any sun or heating that day. It could be used that way. So, they just kept on progressing and progressing.
Once it got better, they were able to do it this way, then once it was heard by the public, and I heard about it. I always wanted to have a system in my home. But affordability was a problem because by that time I was about retirement age. So, having extra funds wasn't possible to do that. Sunrun offered to install solar panels on the roof, and Duke Energy was behind it. You could get it done for free, and the maintenance is also free, but you still had to pay. It would still be a saving anyway, even if I didn't own the system myself. So, I took it on because it made sense. It was an opportunity for me, too, to have the service and experience it and actually see if it would be beneficial over time. It has worked good, but I wish I could get the battery installed so that when you do have a power outage, you're not in the dark like everybody else, even though you have the solar panels, and there is some savings involved.
Switching to solar was easy and painless. There are times in the winter time when your bill can be extremely high. But having solar is a constant price every month for what it's going to be, and it's going to be lower those times, much lower than what other residents would have to pay being on the grid. The installation was painless. There was not a whole lot of noise, and there were certain things I wanted that they did. I didn't want to see a whole lot of metal showing, like some installers do when they put it in, you see all kinds of metal holes and pipes. I made sure they knew that I didn't want that on the front side of my house where people could see that coming up the streets. So, that was how they installed it. All of that metal went underneath those panels, over the roof and down to where it connects. So, it is not an eyesore.

The enrollment process with Sunrun was very smooth and the rep was very informative. I had a lot of questions at first and he always took the time to take my calls to make sure I understood and was comfortable with the process. He helped me with getting the permits from the village and all the different steps because there is so much that has to be done in preparation for this. It isn't just slapping it up on your roof. He was great.
The installers were here first thing in the morning. There were several guys here and so much equipment, and they were here for probably eight hours. They were very thorough, and they all had a lot of experience. They were well-spoken and easy to talk to. My representative was here most of the day as well, which was reassuring. It took a while for the electric company to get my electric bill changed over, but I was reimbursed because of the actual date it was installed versus when it went into effect, which was supposed to be right away. They credited that money back to me promptly.
Everything has been functioning perfectly. You don't even know the solar panels are on the roof. There have been times when we've had storms and some of my neighbors lose their power, and I never lose power. Before Sunrun installed the solar panels, they made sure my roof was in good condition. They checked everything, went into the attic, and made sure there weren't any leaks and that the insulation was good. They went through a lot. It isn't just signing on the dotted line to have it installed. They're checking everything out for you. They have your village or city inspector come and check it out, and they're checking on your roof condition.
It's also very easy to communicate with Sunrun. I haven't had to talk to them about anything for quite a while, but when I did at first, it was smooth and easy. There was no pressure and no stress. My representative always returned my calls. He wants it to work for me because of referrals that he wants to get from other customers, and his name is on that, not just Sunrun. Several of my neighbors have signed up since I've had it, and they've all been pleased as well. I'm in a senior community, and whether it's a senior community or not, with the way the economy is, we're all looking out for our bills. Everybody seems to be happy. To me, it's a no-brainer.

When I bought my house, it had solar panels on it but the company that was servicing them went bankrupt. This was a brand-new house, and so I wasn't sure what to do. I had several people contact me, but two gentlemen from Sunrun came to the house and explained everything to me. I'm not buying the panels. It's like I'm leasing them. They pay for the panels. They pay for the batteries. They pay to hook everything up. They told me upfront what my monthly bill would be. So, I just have it automatically deducted every month, and it's a steady bill. Then every now and then, I get a bill from Edison if I used more power than the panels charged. The gentlemen were very upfront. I had called them several times with questions, and they were always available to answer my questions.
There were existing panels up there. They said they couldn't tie into those, which was a shame. So, they put new panels up. The only issue I had is when they came to install them, they broke a couple tiles on the roof. Once I realized that, I called them, and they came out and replaced them for me. This is the first time I've ever had solar panels. It was a brand-new house, and it was included in the purchase. It was about a $13,000 extra on the house, but they were already installed when I bought the house. I just knew that solar gave you energy.

I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with my experience with Sunrun. When we originally spoke with a Sunrun representative, my husband was told that although NV Energy rates would increase with inflation, our Sunrun payment would remain around $100 per month and that the solar system would generate enough energy to significantly reduce our NV Energy bill. That has absolutely **not** been our experience. We continue to pay approximately $100 per month to Sunrun, yet we are still receiving extremely high bills from NV Energy. One month, we paid **more than $375 to NV Energy in addition to the $100 Sunrun payment**. At that point, it is difficult to understand the financial benefit of having solar panels at all.
We have even had the panels professionally cleaned, yet the problem continues. Whenever we contact Sunrun, we are repeatedly told that the panels are functioning properly. However, our actual energy bills tell a very different story. If the system is truly operating as it should, then Sunrun needs to explain why our NV Energy bills remain so high. I am extremely frustrated by being told that everything is working properly while the results we are experiencing do not support that claim. We invested in this system based on what was represented to us, and we expected meaningful savings—not to continue paying a substantial amount to both Sunrun and NV Energy.
I expect Sunrun to take this matter seriously, thoroughly investigate the system's actual energy production, compare it with the production that was represented when we agreed, and provide a meaningful explanation and resolution. Simply telling us that the system is functioning properly is **not an acceptable response when our bills clearly demonstrate that something is not adding up.**

We signed with Sunrun less than a year ago and several conditions detailed by the salesperson were not true. The biggest is that we were told that the system would produce enough electricity to more than offset our energy use and the savings would be cumulative with our electricity provider, Eversource. This is not close to true, as we now have to pay two bills, which we were assured we would not have to do. We feel we are the victim of "bait and switch", which I believe is illegal.

Sunrun customer service is poor at best. Their service department schedules any type of maintenance weeks out while your system generates no electricity. We have had the system down for months. The months we usually generate the most. Summertime. A tech came out week ago for 5 minutes. Text me that he had left and the system was working only to find out a week later it stopped again. Now I have an appointment a month later. Do not go with Sun Run.

We experienced a power outage on Sunday and our battery backup system failed to engage. I was told by the representative that Sunrun has no technician on weekend to assist. Instead I had to sign a $700 estimate for a service call and wait until the business week for someone to call and schedule an appointment. Sunrun service after the sale is very poor. Apparently they feel nothing can possibly go wrong on weekends so they don't start for it. My interpretation is that they are to cheap to spend the money to properly staff for weekend service.

My experience involving Mr. ** left me with serious concerns about his judgment, personal boundaries, and integrity. Based on my direct experience, Mr. ** knowingly communicated with an individual who was married and was aware of the marriage and family circumstances involved. Despite that knowledge, the communication continued in a manner that I considered completely inappropriate and disrespectful to the boundaries of that marriage.
What concerns me most is not simply that an inappropriate situation occurred, but the apparent willingness to proceed despite knowing the circumstances. In my view, integrity is demonstrated by what someone chooses to do when they know where the boundaries are—not merely by how they conduct themselves after their actions are discovered.
I am intentionally limiting this review to what I personally experienced and observed. I cannot speak for every interaction Mr. ** has with clients, coworkers, or other families. I can say that my experience caused me to seriously question the judgment, accountability, and values of someone holding himself out publicly in a leadership and sales-management capacity. For those reasons, based solely on my experience, I would give my interaction with Mr. ** one star.
Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention, Christian. Please email resolutions@sunrun with any details about the rep, including their name and any identifying information. We do not condone this type of behavior and will be looking into this further. Thank you.

Sunrun knocked on my door and sold me a system that I was specifically told included a battery backup that would not only provide backup power during an outage, but would also help reduce my electricity costs by using the battery to help power my home at night and during periods when solar production is low\. I was also told the grid could utilize the battery and that I would receive credits for participating\.
The system was installed, and within a week I discovered that Sunrun has the software on the battery locked down so the battery simply sits at 100% charge in standby for the utility\. I’m paying roughly $2,000 a year for this battery, yet I’m not allowed to use it to reduce my own electricity consumption\. The only time it is available to me is when the power goes out\.
This was absolutely not how the system was represented to me\. What makes it even more frustrating is that the battery is technically designed to operate exactly the way it was explained to me\. The hardware can do it—the software is simply locked by Sunrun\. The whole point of having a home battery is to be able to use stored solar energy when the sun isn’t producing, including at night or on cloudy days, and potentially reduce your reliance on expensive utility electricity\. Instead, Sunrun appears to prioritize using customers’ batteries as part of its larger virtual power plant/fleet while the customer continues paying for the battery\. If I had known the battery would be software\-locked and unavailable for my own energy savings, I absolutely would not have got it\.
**DO NOT GET THE BATTERY unless you fully understand exactly how Sunrun will allow you to use it\.** Ask very specific questions about whether you can discharge the battery to power your home, participate in time\-of\-use savings, and control when the battery charges and discharges\. Obviously the grid can override this, but to not allow the customer to use the battery they are paying for is ridiculous\!
I feel completely misled about what I was purchasing\. The most frustrating part is that the battery is capable of doing what I was sold—it’s Sunrun’s software restrictions that prevent me from using it that way\. And when I started asking questions after installation, getting a straight answer became nearly impossible\. I wish I had known this before the sales rep signed the contract as me…\.\. yes you read that correctly\! I would have never paid thousands of dollars a year for a battery that essentially just sits there at 100% waiting for a once every ten year power outage, or for the grid to use it…

Sunrun Solar Scammers. Many customers were misled by promises of savings that weren’t realistic and faced confusing 20-25 year contracts with hidden fees and escalating monthly rates. That increase every month rate does not stay the same as promise. Sunrun’s leases and PPAs were not clearly explained, leaving families with unexpected annual bill increases of 2.9% to 3.9%, causing financial stress and frustration.
Sunrun also failed to clearly inform customers about contract cancellation fees, leaving many feeling blindsided and financially strained. Exiting a Sunrun solar agreement early can also cost thousands of dollars, depending on the contract type, state, and remaining term, with documented fees ranging from $1,500 to $15,000. For those who were reassured by sales agents that cancellation would be “no big deal,” discovering the true costs caused significant stress and frustration.
Customers often seek cancellation due to life changes like moving to a new home where the lease won’t transfer, dissatisfaction with system performance, financial hardship, realizing the actual long-term costs after reviewing the contract, or needing roof repairs or renovations. These lawsuits highlight how Sunrun’s lack of clear disclosure of cancellation fees has left many families feeling misled and unfairly burdened, potentially violating state disclosure laws. Sunrun engages in aggressive marketing and often fails to fully disclose contract details until after the agreement is signed. They bypass important information that customers should be made aware of, using distracting tactics to be preventing you to careful review the contract. Customers should exercise caution when entering into a contract with Sunrun Solar, as certain terms and disclosures may not be fully transparent.

Original Review: Aug. 5, 2026
We had been a satisfied customer of SunRun for many years (since 2011). They came and repaired things when they needed repairing, the billing worked fine, everything was good. Until the time came that I needed to remove the system for roofing work. I called SunRun, expecting a quote, and received a Docusign quote for $0 cost. I think I even asked, are you sure? Needless to say, less than 2 weeks later SunRun now won't honor this quote, their contractor wants $8000, and the company won't move an inch to make up for their mistake. I guess the contract end will be the end of my experience with this company.

The biggest mistake I ever made. They sell you the solar system and install it, but they’re not responsible for it afterward. If anything goes wrong, they just tell you to deal with the manufacturer. Then they want to charge $700 just to send a technician to inspect and fix it. They’re basically just a third party—they’re not much help when your solar system goes down. It feels like buying a car with a warranty but still having to pay the dealership to diagnose or repair it even though it’s covered.

I had a construction friend who introduced me to a salesman from Sunrun. We had a really good conversation and I ended signing up with them. The installers were very nice, too. They had a wonderful crew. They figure out your solar panels based on your consumption of electricity and what the panels can produce. But when I did the contract, I paid FPL $25 and whatever Sunrun was charging. So, my expense averaged around 200 bucks. And my initial bill was 183 on an average. But now, FPL raised their base rate from $25 to $32, and my Sunrun bill goes up 3% every year. So, now, I'm paying more, and yet I'm producing enough electricity to power over 300 homes a year. It just seems to be a very poor offset. But it's more on FPL's part than Sunrun's part.
These 27 panels, most of the time, I'm not even on the grid. And the house my size would use an average of around 30 kilowatts. And I'm producing 50 or even more kilowatts per day, yet it doesn't seem to matter to FPL. They're getting all the benefits of me powering God knows how many homes. I'm kind of a producer without any getting anything in return. But as far as the system goes, when I had a couple of glitches, Sunrun was out here right away and took care of it. They've been very good as far as follow-up goes. For the panels themselves, I'm kind of in the middle whether I did the right thing or not. If a hurricane hits, I'll be ahead of the game.
Right now, I feel that with all the electricity I'm producing, I'm really behind. Other than that, I would recommend Sunrun, but they have some really great programs now. Before, it was at the height where Mr. Biden was giving 30% in energy credits, and that went away. But I didn't benefit by it. Sunrun did. If I would have bought the system outright, then I would have benefited by that reduction.

The sales rep was very helpful and the installation of the solar panels went very well. We were offered it because we’re senior citizens and we were going to be on a long-term payment schedule. We'd have to make payments every month until we die to pay for it. I wanted to pay for it outright, and it was tricky to convince Sunrun that that's what I wanted to do. For some of us, it's much better to be able to pay it in cash. We finally wrangled out the ability to just pay it outright, though it took a while. Our experience with Sunrun in the year that we’ve had the solar panels has been wonderful. We've saved a lot of money with it and it has worked very well. We’re very thankful.

The customer service was excellent. The only complaint I've ever had was the way the panel comes down off my roof; the water runs directly, not exactly down the sides of the house, but not that far in front of it, and when I complained about that, Sunrun said I should install something that costs $1,000, and that was very disappointing. It should have been included in the initial deal because I wasn't aware that that could be a problem. Having solar is so much nicer than giving all that money to Con Ed. Even for the air conditioning, it was great.

I was told my system would produce over 100,% of power needed to carry me thru the off peak season, be designed for loss of production do to aging panels and earning credits in the future that I could gift. I was also told if I ever need to expand my system I could with no problem . What I received was a system designed at 88%. Leaving me to rely on my utility company for the other 12%. At 88% I don't generate enough power to get me through the off season let alone gift credits .This forces me to pay two bills . When I reached out to customer service they was no help at all. Then I was in contact with Carlton **, Sunrun's senior expert.
After his review of my system he told me it was designed at 88%. Explaining to him what I was told from my sales rep and not being 100% solar I was disappointed. His answer to me was was the contract was valid. Never acknowledging the fact that I was misled from my sales rep taking no accountability. He was quick to point out what I did save regardless of having two bills. 88% is not what I signed up for but he feels it's good enough. When I asked about expanding my system like I was told I could he shut it down. With my experience with sunrun and the staff especially Carlton it's my opinion to strongly steer clear of sunrun!

We are two old people with cell phones out in the door and some girl on the other end. Long story short, we had it fixed and it's been seamless ever since.
We had trouble when one of the components failed. It was a converter and we were off-island, but I was able to deal with it. We were in Rhode Island at the time and the technician called me.

Beware of Sunrun. I’ve been dealing with them for almost a year now, and my solar panels have not worked since October of last year. They sent technicians out twice. Both confirmed the same issue: squirrels chewed through the wiring. The first tech had someone remove the nest — but not the squirrels — and then I got a text saying my system was “working normally.” It wasn’t. I called ten times to tell them no one had actually repaired anything. That was back in October.
Sunrun finally came out again on July 10. The tech again said it was a squirrel problem and told me he would escalate it to corporate because it was clearly an ongoing issue. The very next day, I got a text saying the appointment was canceled and they would “reach out.” A couple days later, I got another automated message saying my system was working normally — even though no one had come out and nothing was fixed.
So here I am, almost a year later, still with a broken system and no real action from Sunrun. If any solar or consumer‑protection attorneys see this and think they can help, please reach out. I have documentation, dates, texts, and technician statements showing Sunrun has failed to repair my system despite repeated service requests.

I was scammed from the get-go by my SunRun salesman, who told me that, if I sold my house before my 25-year lease was up and the new buyers did not want the panels, that SunRun would cancel my lease contract and remove the panels at no charge. I have had so many problems with the Tesla PowerWall battery, which I realize is not SunRun but it came with the SunRun panels; I had no choice in the matter. Now that I am thinking about moving, I got out my contract and found out that my salesman had lied to me (right in front of his supervisor) and that, if I sell my house and the new buyers don't want the panels, I have to pay the contract off. I realize now that I should have made the salesman show me in the contract everything he promised me. But I didn't. Lesson learned. When you are an honest person like myself, you just don't think that people are going to lie to you to your face.
I totally regret the day I ever called SunRun. Oh here's another thing. I did hire a law firm to negotiate an end to my lease and removal of the panels; all she did was push paper around at $400 an hour until I called it quits at $1500 out of my pocket. But during that time, every time I called SunRun with a problem, I was told they couldn't talk to me because there was a legal banner on my file. That should be a big red flag to anyone contemplating buying or leasing SunRun solar panels. If SunRun refuses to help you because you have a lawsuit against them, they should consider WHY the customer is suing them. Because of all the problems like the one you are having when they refuse to talk to you. My advise is run, not walk, away from SunRun.

Back in 2021 my wife and I had Sunrun install a thirty-two panel system on our home. We have been very happy since then with the performance of the system and the savings we got from it. We are now currently in the process of having our roof replaced which will require the removal and reinstallation of all the panels. When their salesman initially came to our house back in 2021, he told us that the first removal and reinstallation was included in the cost of the solar system. I found out back in May that this was not true and the salesman was either wrong (best case scenario) or flat out lying. I was annoyed when I originally found out that we were given erroneous information. Today, I found out how much the process will actually cost us and now I am pissed off.
SunRun’s official roofing partner quoted us over $10k to have them do just the removal and reinstallation or over $8k if they also do the roofing replacement. This expense has now made the entire system not worth it as the extra expense we incur now will overshadow the electricity savings over the last five years PLUS several more years going forward at least. SunRun will do nothing about this since it was a verbal statement by the salesman and not a written one. They have forever lost an avid supporter. While I was vocal in recommending solar to friends and family (Sunrun in particular) I will now have no choice but to tell them all to avoid it like the plague. That one piece of invalid information we were given has forever soured me to Sunrun.
Hi Drew, thank you for sharing your experience. We're really sorry to hear about what you've gone through with your removal and reinstallation, it sounds incredibly frustrating.

We've assigned an Escalation Expert who will review your account and reach out to you as soon as possible to help resolve your concerns. Just to set the expectation as it's currently the weekend, the earliest someone will be in touch won't be until Monday, but they will likely do some research and look into this then be in touch.

I had my panels removed in November of 2025 for a roof replacement. 7 plus months panels are still sitting in in my backyard. Reaching anyone that can actually move things along is impossible. Contacted Remy who handles their roofing projects. They told me their hands are tied and told me they've been waiting on Sunrun to get back to them for over a month. Sunrun told us on 6/30 everything would take no more than 7-15 days 4 weeks later still waiting for a simple call back. Nobody at Sunrun cares bout their customers who are waiting endlessly with zero communication. at this rate my panels will be installed in December if I'm lucky. Once you are under contract with Sunrun the customer support disappears. Time to reach out to the CEO and news stations since I work in media.

We installed a Sunrun solar system about four years ago, as well as two Tesla backup batteries. We were thrilled with it. The installers were very professional and installed everything on time. We never had any issues with the system, and only had someone come out once or twice to check that everything was okay. A year ago, in April of 2025, we sold the house because we moved to a bigger one and the solar system helped us sell it more easily. The new house doesn't have solar panels and my husband is constantly mumbling that we should install it here too. But power here is very dependable and solar is expensive, which is why we haven’t installed it yet. But if we have any power interruption, we'll install and we will look for Sunrun.

Someone in the neighborhood had used Sunrun, and they were pleased with it. Their customer service was excellent. I called, and within five minutes, they returned the call, and we did the whole thing right then and there, and started the ball rolling. I've been with them since September of 2023. The solar panels are pretty good. They're a few less than I had anticipated, so we're not getting much electricity right now, but they had said they were going to put a certain number on, but then they did not put about three of them on, and I'm not sure of the reason why. The rest provide about 85% of our electrical needs.

Switching from traditional electric to Sunrun has been good. All went well with the installation; it was seamless. They have a pretty good routine down, and it goes really quickly.

A Sunrun salesperson named Chaz came to my house in Round Rock, Texas, going door to door trying to sell solar. From the beginning, it felt like he would say anything to get a sale. At the time, I was in the process of renting out my house. He repeatedly told me that if I installed the solar panels and my future tenant didn't want them, Sunrun would come remove all of the panels for free. He also claimed the solar payment would simply transfer into the tenant's name and that it wouldn't be my problem anymore.
He also told me solar panels would increase the value of my home. After researching it myself, I found that isn't generally true, especially if the system isn't paid off. In many cases, financed or leased solar can actually make selling a home more difficult.The entire sales pitch was full of pressure. He was rude, pushy, and constantly trying to get more of my personal information instead of answering my questions honestly. Then it got even worse.
About a week later, I started getting emails from Vivint Security saying they were coming to install and activate a security system that I NEVER signed up for or approved. I was told the request had been submitted by Chaz. I also found out there was a request involving Oncor to make changes to my electric service that I never authorized. He also scheduled to have solar panels put on my house after I told him I did not want them!!! I had to call 3 times to get them to cancel the installation!
That crossed a line. No one should be submitting requests for services that a homeowner never agreed to. This experience completely destroyed any trust I had in Sunrun. My advice is simple: don't let the door-to-door sales pitch pressure you into anything. Read everything, verify every claim yourself, and get multiple quotes before making a decision. Based on my experience, I would never do business with this company.

I've been quite happy with Sunrun. They were the one that offered a plan that looked good to us. Our transition to solar was easy. Dealing with the town was probably the most time-consuming thing. The installation was very good. They did a good job, and they cleaned up. The inspector had them do one thing. Everybody that I dealt with along the installation has been great.
I've seen a saving since we had the solar installed because we don't own the solar. They own it. They sell us the electricity at a lower rate. So, we're saving about $400 or $500 a year. It goes up 3% a year, but electricity is going up too, although Marlborough has a special rate. So, that's lower. Still, if anything, we would break even in 10 years. And in 10 years, we could buy it if we want to. So, it's sort of an ongoing thing. But right now, it's saving us money and it's working great.

Last week, the app is showing communication error, 'Fat error'. I Called Sunrun 7/8 and explained the situation. Sunrun responded they need to send someone to reset the inverter and will charge me $600. They said they changed the policy since they need to charge customers for their labor. Even though in my original agreement, Sunrun will take care of the panels/inverter for 25 years. It's poor business practice that Sunrun DOESN'T warn existing customers about this new service policy. So understand that labor is expensive and they want to make profit. But charging $600 for work that only takes 30 mins to fix is wrong.

My sister is elderly and not computer savvy, she relies on me for support. She is also my neighbor so I frequently help her with house stuff. While I was away on a work assignment she committed to an agreement for solar panels through Sunrun that costs her $50-$75 dollars a month more than her original monthly electric bill; here in northern California it's PG&E so you know we are already expensive.
The contractors also left her without hot water for three weeks during install and took months to complete the installation. She has competed the auto pay process multiple times but Sunrun's system continues to revert to the paper payment. There is a $5 additional fee for non paperless billing, I would hope they are more ethical than what I suspect but is smells like a revenue generator to me.

Title: Felix ** is the real deal – honest, patient, and delivered everything he promised. I'll be upfront: I was NOT a believer in solar. We had three different companies come through our door over the years, and every single one promised the world, then tried to slip things past us. One even tried to get us to sign something before we saw a contract, calling it "California required" – total BS. We sent them all packing.
Fast forward to a few years later, and Felix ** from Sunrun showed up. I was already frustrated and walking out the door, and I let him have it. I told him exactly how I felt about solar salesmen. But Felix just stood there, took it calmly, and didn't get defensive. He let me vent, then respectfully asked if he could just show me the numbers. And I'm glad he did.
We're on PG&E's CARE program and still paying $700–$900 a month – more than all our neighbors. We always knew something was off but felt stuck. Felix didn't just give us a sales pitch; he guaranteed we'd do better and helped us prepare for the future when nobody knows what rates will do. We've watched our bills climb for years, so we knew we had to try something.
Now we have a 50-panel system with 4 Powerwalls. The install crew (5 vans!) showed up and knocked it out in one day. We were fully up and running on solar in less than a month. Now we can actually see what we use, what we send back to the grid, and we even have the option to go off-grid entirely. What really stood out? Felix showed up DURING the install and bought lunch for the whole crew. You don't see that kind of care and follow-through much anymore. Thank you, Sunrun, and especially thank you, Felix **. You earned our business the right way.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Shane! We're so glad to hear that Felix helped restore your confidence and even brought lunch for everyone during your installation.

Sunrun has been terrible to deal with. My service was transferred from another owner when I bought the house. My first invoice was for February that included a past due balance from the previous owner. They were even threatening me with collections. Finally, months later they issued a credit and admitted it wasn't my balance. This also wasn't showing up due on their billing app, so no way to pay it even if I wanted to.
My account was now up to date on payments as of April. In May, when I went to pay my April bill, they snuck in a past-due balance for a bill from January. To this date, no one can provide me with this January bill and they are refusing to issue a credit. When I went to check my account for May, they have now double-billed me for the May month and have misapplied my payment made on June 2 to the ghost January bill.

I have been calling several times a week about my account for months and case managers ignore me when I call in.

Sunrun called me and set up an appointment. We went to a price. I expected to save money on electricity throughout the year but Sunrun never told me that solar doesn't produce that much electricity in winter time. I will spend more money during winter time than in summertime on electricity. On summer time, they save me money. But in winter time, whatever money I save goes back. Every month, they send me how much I use for the month. That's how I keep track of it. It has been very hot. I pay $23. During winter, it would jump to $290 to $300. There is a big discrepancy there. Also, 8 years ago, I started at $96 a month. In 2026, I pay $111 every month. That's $15 in eight years. I didn't expect Sunrun would raise the price.
Do your homework first. Before I got those panels installed, I asked the person who came if I will get power generated from the panels in case of a power failure. The rep said yes. A year later, I had a power failure that lasted two days in New York, and that was not what I expected. I didn't get electricity for two days. I thought I would get battery backup but they said that was not approved in New York.

We saw Sunrun at Costco, and when the rep came out, the presentation felt like a lot of pressure. They made it sound like it was going to be the solution to our problem. But it didn't quite turn out as well as they said it would. Our electric bill went down, but the Sunrun payment went way up. I thought we were buying about $20,000 worth of equipment, but it ended up being closer to $40,000. Most of the year, it does fine with delivery charges on the infrastructure that the company has. The electric company that provides the wires and the infrastructure has a delivery fee every month of about $60. Whether we use electricity or not, we still pay for it.
During the summer months, when the usage goes up because of the air conditioning, our electric bill goes up to about almost $200 for about two months. We have the battery backup system and it has worked well during power outages except once, when the temperatures dropped below 14 degrees for several days and the battery kicked off, leaving us without power until the weather warmed up.

Updated on 10/12/2026: Well, it is now October 12th 2026. Six months since I contacted Sunrun about the leak in my roof. My last review of Sunrun was in June. The same day it was published I received the usual response from the company stating the usual: Give them specific types of information and they would escalate my case up to someone who would take care of my issue. They also asked if I would consider increasing the Consumer Report rating I gave them. I responded to the communication giving all the information they asked for and added that I will not increase the rating just because I received a piece of communication from the company.
Since that piece of communication in June I have received no communication from anyone at Sunrun. I am now in the process of trying to determine the best way of moving forward as my roof is still leaking and they would not even come out to fix the faultily installed panel, as determined by their own technician. Also, I received a piece of communication stating that they would be closing out my ticket. I responded stating that the issue had not been fixed. True to form, Ghosted again. The only reason I maintain a 1 star rating is because a star must be given so that submission could be made.
Original Review: In writing, everything seemed good in the beginning. However as time went on I have only two complaints: 1. The panels do not generate the amount of electricity they said it would. In response to this the insult my intelligence by telling me that I am using more electricity than before, which is not true. They say that there are months of low production, however as much as I tell them that there has been no month that I have been off the grid and that I am paying the electricity every month, no one seems to understand that. They talk about doing an analysis at the end of 5 years and giving me a reimbursement based on the shortfall. But this will come nowhere close to the amount I would have paid for the electricity and additional cost of getting it to my house.
Since I changed to panels, I am paying close to 2X the amount for electricity. It is not worth my time or energy or money. The second reason is leaks. While the panels were being installed it was raining. This is why I was able to draw to their attention that they now caused a waterfall in my garage. I thought it was all fixed on that day of installation, however I had to call them back on three separate occasions regarding leaks. This last time I called in April. It is now June 22 and though there was someone out her to do an assessment of the leak, to date no one has been out to fix it.
To be fair they finally had a date scheduled on June 18th. That morning at 8:15 am I received a call stating that the person scheduled to fix the leak call out but they would be able to put me at the top of the waiting list and they would be able to send someone out in July. That will make it close to 3 months since my call about this particular leak, and multiple days of strong winds and heavy rains. I just responded to an email from them in which they asked if the technician told me that the job is all complete. How is it possible that they could not know that the person scheduled to fix the roof never came. In my last communication with them I told them to come and get all of their panels and I will fix my own roof. Now, this is just my experience. Other people's experiences may be different.

We got a lot of roofs up there that were doing nothing, so it was time to put some panels up there. We got hooked up with the state program, where it didn't cost me anything. I leased out my roof for 25 years, and I ended up with Sunrun. The only problem I've had with them, and it's me, is getting the computer to pick up their app. It lets you find out how well your system's doing over the last x number of days, but I haven't been able to get that to work. It's a perfectly good app. It just needs somebody who knows what they're doing to make it work.
The system works. My bill is about $90 a month. Before, a low month was around $120, and in the summertime it could go up to $400 with the air on. I haven't had to pay anything extra to the utility company because I've always had a credit balance at the end of the year, and they buy me out for a nickel a kilowatt. I'm gonna have to start paying again in November, but I got enough sales in March to carry me over till November.
The state picked up whatever costs there were on a program. I leased my roof out for 25 years and if and when I sell the house, I'd have to settle up with Sunrun. Or the buyer would have to pick up my program and continue with Sunrun. The new buyer would be crazy not to pick up the program. It is very economical. We're about four years into it and I've had no trouble with the product. We've had good luck with Sunrun and I’d give them 4 stars only because of my inability to get their system working.

Sunrun is one of the top companies, maybe even the top company in the country. Why wouldn't you go with them? Their solar panels too are from Europe or Germany. They're supposedly a better quality than some of the local solar panels that people have been putting up. When I signed, it was for 20 years. Naturally, the rate goes up a bit each year. It got me in and get solar panels on my house, and they haven't gone up that much, but it has gone up a bit compared to what Eversource and some of these other companies are charging for electricity.
I started with Vivint. Our roof needed to be replaced, and they replaced the front roof where the solar panels are at no cost to me. They were on time. They did a professional job, and it was over before you knew it. And I was already generating electricity. I don't think raplace roofs at no cost now that they have become Sunrun. They would have replaced the electric panel too if it required it, but it didn't.
I pay for what I use, and I've been maintaining a $1,500 credit with Eversource. I'm here alone, so I don't use all the electricity that it produces. It's worth it. However, Sunrun stopped sending me the bill a couple months ago. Last month I got a copy of the bill again in my email, but I don't know why they stopped. If they keep stopping, I will have to keep calling them. They email me a production on one email and sends me a copy of my bill on another email. I can look at the meter if I want to, but I don't bother. It goes by the weather and how long the days are. Because naturally, in the winter time, you don't generate anywhere near as much electricity.

For a long time, I wouldn't do solar energy services because I didn't like the idea that I had to buy the panels and pay for it for the next 30 years. Then Sunrun came door to door, and I was talking with a guy. It sounded like a good deal. I have about 10 to 15 panels. I have an app to track their production. Right now, everything's great. Since we turned the panels on, I haven't even heard from my power company, Southern California Edison. I check my app every morning to see where I'm at, how much I use, and how much I use through the night. This time of year, we're not really running the heater or the AC. I'm not even using Edison. I'm usually running about 99% solar. I would recommend Sunrun. I like the fact that you're not buying it. They put it up there, and three years down the road, if all of a sudden, I don't like it, I can tell them to get it off my roof and it doesn't cost any extra.

I was pleased with the work that Sunrun did. My dealings with them have been very satisfactory and the costs were reasonable. Some representative of Sunrun came out and made a physical inspection of my house and my roof and took measurements. I went up the ladder with him and checked it out. I've done some carpentry and house-building so I was convinced that it was feasible. The rest is history. Sunrun came out and gave me an estimate of what it would cost and we had them installed. They told me we needed a new roof. They didn't wanna put solar panels on a roof which was not in very good condition. They arranged for a contractor to make an estimate, which was reasonable. Had a new roof put on. Sunrun got the permits, installed the panels and connected the electricity.
I asked something with customer service only once. We got a new router, and the communication software that was installed that enables me to see how much power was generated didn't work because the new router had a different password. I called customer service from Sunrun. It took them a while to recognize the problem and come out, but they solved it. I've told other people about Sunrun.

Solar energy was a better fit for my budget, and Sunrun was fairly quick with the installation, which I appreciated. I've had solar with Sunrun for a couple of years, and I love the whole program. Since I switched, it's been great. SDG&E is high-priced, and now I'm paying Sunrun instead. The price is better than SDG&E. I don't use that much energy because I'm not home a lot, and I've got a storage battery. It's nice to contribute back to the grid through Sunrun.

A Sunrun rep approached me and told me about their program. I was not too aware of it, but I took a chance and I am glad that I did. They are very good and there's a person there who is what they call a gold medal. We had one situation two years ago when my roof was leaking and I asked them to come move the panel for me to do over my roof. They charged me $300 per panel to move the roof, but it was due to their installation that my roof was leaking, because that was a brand-new house. Then for some reason, Sunrun didn't move the panel. I tried to fix it several times, then I got it done. So, I'm hoping to God it remains good.
Since I had that situation with Sunrun, I went to someone else to do another house, which was SunCo. They have done the installation in 2022 and up till now the solar is not working. The government had them under investigation and they went out of business. The solar panels just stayed there, brand new on the roof, and you cannot get in touch with no one. So, I wanted to give the job to Sunrun, but I had other issues with them.
They finished installing the panels in 2017, but the job never got signed off until eight years later. I was having the problem not getting the job signed off because Sunrun hired an electrician in New Jersey to do the job, then he went to Canada and never signed off the job. A lot of problems also happened. But eventually, I spoke to one of their reps and she was the one that got them to sign it off last year. She was on top of her game and she really made it happen for me. So far, that's the only bad experience I had with Sunrun and I'm able to understand that life has its ups and downs. They just have to be careful with who they're subbing out the jobs to. They have to have a history and a good record. All in all, I am happy with the service.
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Curtis. We know your journey wasn't without challenges, and we're grateful you gave us the opportunity to make things right. Thank you for your patience and trust in Sunrun!

I purchased Sunrun a year in advance, but I had a lease that I had to go through. So, it was off for a whole year. It may have been off longer than that because the property had been vacant for a couple of years because the owner went back to Mexico. It took Sunrun a minute to come out to take care of everything, but they were great. I had to have a roof put on and they removed the equipment and reinstalled. I had to pay for it, but they were very good about that.
The service has been outstanding since it has been on. I've been here going on seven years. The first year, it was rough because trying to get somebody to come out was the issue to turn it on. It took a minute the first time. But since then, it has been working perfectly. They came through like soldiers. Took care of everything. I was so grateful for that. They came out, did whatever they needed to do, they reconnected it once I had the roof done, the whole nine yards. I've not had any issues in the last six years. It has been a great experience.
The utilities have been very good. They vary from year to year. Last year, for two months consecutively, it was $8, $8.90. I don't have a big place. It's 1,800 square feet, but it's a good size place. I keep the AC because it's so hot here. The AC is on all day. This month I paid 13. But during the summer months are my best months. It is the winter that it's not because I also pay for water, gas, and energy. My gas bill can be $40 versus the NV Energy bill. So, it offsets. If one is very low, the other one is high.
Every month, you can go on the website and see the difference. You get something emailed every month and they tell you. When you get your bill electronically, it's all there. It's all laid out that this is how much you saved compared to last year. They don't have anything to do with the solar. Because if they had, they would prefer people didn't have solar because that means more money in their pocket.
I referred five of my neighbors there and all five of them ended up getting solar panels. The problem is because I don't own the unit, I didn't get anything back. I got nothing for making the referral. Although I'm the homeowner, I don't own that equipment. I don't know how that works. I'm sure it can't go back to the owner because the home is in my name. My next door neighbors both got it together. So at that point, when the owner made the referral, she got the difference. But I have neighbors on the street and they always ask me and I show them the bill. I said, "And you guys have more in your homes than I do. There's only two of us. But you guys have kids and this, that, and the other. You could save a bundle." They told me they've been paying $600. That's one bill. That doesn't include the gas, the water, the trash, and all that other stuff that you have to pay. These people are paying a fortune for NV Energy.

Sunrun's service is really great when we initiated everything. We haven't had any problems at all. Their app is good. Initially, my husband and I did all the calculations, and in the long run, it's better to just pay the amount that we did in cash, and then not have to worry about paying electricity for the rest of our lives. But then, my daughter and her husband and their child moved in. This was the first time in April that the true-up occurred, and it was just under $300. They ended up paying it. But in the long run, we don't have to pay it; they do, but that's just because of their energy usage. It gives us peace of mind. Plus, we're also helping our environment, contributing to global climate change.
Sunrun communicated every step of the way. There was a little glitch, and the salesperson that I dealt with communicated with them, and everything went smoothly. We only got the solar panels. The battery storage is too expensive. We just have our own generator upstairs and downstairs, and in case we ever need it, we have a backup. The installation went very smoothly as well. They communicated what needed to be done step by step, and everyone was very professional, very respectful of the property, and cleaned up after themselves.

One of Sunrun’s sales reps came by, and he was very thorough. He explained everything and showed us the cost savings and what's great about it. The installer was always coming around, checking on me and how the system was working. He did a very good job, and I liked him. The installation went smoothly and took five hours. But getting it up and running took a while. It was around five months before it was fully functional. Then, I started seeing some savings. Other times, I saw it skyrocket because of the weather outside. You could go to the app and look at what's going on. It's simple. They explained it very well.
Once we lose power out here, we lose power in the house, too. The battery backup would probably have saved me on that one. But I didn't want to do the battery backup that Sunrun was offering because it’s a little pricey right now. The price goes up every few months. I started with 116 and now, it's at 125. So, I'm assuming Sunrun tacks on a few dollars every year. It's not gonna stop at any point. But other than that, I'm good with it.

My neighbors were getting Sunrun. So we inquired, and we liked what we heard. Then we got one that we rent from Sunrun. We're satisfied with the sign up process. Since having the system, the electric bill is lower. I would recommend it.
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Annette! It's wonderful to hear your experience was smooth from start to finish and that you're already seeing a notable difference in your electric bill. Thank you for choosing Sunrun!

I wanted to do something to offset my electric bill. I heard about Sunrun from a friend who has Sunrun panels on his house on the Cape. I've had absolutely no problems interacting with Sunrun. The panels work as they're supposed to. My last electric bill was $34, and I only have 10 panels. I use the Sunrun app for tracking. I don't care for the way it changed. I prefer the previous version. The graphs were more understandable for me in the previous version than they are in the current version. Other than that, I'm very satisfied with Sunrun. The biggest benefit of having them is the drop in my electric bill. It’s 65 bucks a month right now, but it goes up 3.25% every year. So, if you take my electric bill last month, which was $34, and add the $65, I'm really paying 100 bucks for electricity, which is a heck of a lot better than the 230 that I was paying previously. My decision to go with Sunrun has worked out 100% for me so far.
Thank you for your thoughtful review, David! It's great to hear your installation went smoothly and that you're seeing incredible savings! We appreciate your feedback about the app, as it helps us continue improving your customer experience. Thanks for choosing Sunrun!

It's been excellent the whole time with Sunrun. If I need to get ahold of somebody, I have a person that I can call to talk to. There's always someone there if I have questions. The professionalism of everybody stands out. They are all great, easy to talk to, and friendly. Going solar with Sunrun, I'm not having very large electric bills which I like. I can also go online on the app and check the production, and it's been good. I'm not having to worry about using my electricity. People should try it.
Hi Michelle, thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad to hear you've had a positive experience with our team and that you're enjoying the app and the benefits of going solar. We truly appreciate your recommendation and thank you for being part of the Sunrun family!

I am not one to leave reviews but I am very disappointed in this company. We never had any major issues with this our solar panels until recent. A piece of our equipment stopped working in November and we were unaware, especially because we do not produce much energy in the winter months. Last month we checked to see how much energy we were producing because our eversource bills have been very high still, and it turns out we haven't produced anything since November. Sunrun put in a "ticket" in January knowing that our solar panels were not working and did nothing about it. We called in May and they say they needed to send someone out and they would schedule something. Two weeks later and we still haven't had anyone come out so we call again. They finally send someone out a week and a half after that, so now we are looking at a month of waiting and more money gooing in their pocket for nothing.
The gentleman who came was great and fixed it for us, but he had to completely replace a part. After being "fixed" we still didn't start showing anything until the last 2 days. According to an employee we had to wait for the ticket to be "closed" in order to get reimbursed the money that we have paid for nothing for 6 months. Well turns out that sunrun is refusing to refund us any money because it isn't their fault, so we are out over $2000 between our monthly payment and Eversource bills. Yes we have a contract and we read through it and it says they will not take responsibility unless it is a solar system misfunction. But again, in JANUARY they knew there was an issue and did nothing to let us know.
How could we possibly know a part wasn't working in the winter when we typically produce little to nothing. Do not go with a company who takes zero accountability and only cares about lining their pockets with money. I would never recommend this company to anyone, and they should be disappointed that they knew there was an issue and did nothing to help solve it.

Everyone did a great job. Salesman was on point. Probably should've had a precon meeting to go over the way the conduits ran. But the roofers did a great job, the electricians and the construction crews were great. Now we get to the start up and everyone's ghosting me. Called the Sunrun main office and get a run around. Salesman was "let go". Come to find out he had a reaction to some meds and needed some time off. They let him go. The project manager isn't replying to my chat. All this sun and no hook up...all the switches are on. All the inspections are done. Over a month I've been trying to get an answer. No return calls.

After speaking with five different solar companies, I was disappointed by the lack of follow-through. Many representatives spent hours discussing potential deals and promised quick installation, but ultimately failed to deliver and never followed through on their commitments. Fortunately, I decided to work with Sunrun, and the experience was completely different. Luis and his team, along with JoAnn, were professional, responsive, and dedicated to making the project happen. They guided me through the entire process, kept me informed, and delivered exactly what they promised. Today, I am enjoying the benefits of my new solar system, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you, Luis and JoAnn, for your hard work, outstanding customer service, and continued support. Your commitment to your customers is truly appreciated.

When Sunrun first came to us, we were told that if we installed solar panels, we would only have to pay our net metering bill once a year, and that it would be a very low cost because the solar system would produce more electricity than we used. We even asked about adding extra panels at the time, but we were told we did not need them. For a while, my annual net metering bill was about $176. However, it has now increased to over $500. When I contacted the electric company, they explained that my solar panels are no longer producing enough power for the grid to offset my usage, and that I am using more electricity than my system is generating. The electric company told me to contact Sunrun. When I did, I was told that the only solution was to sign a completely new contract to add more panels. This would also require additional equipment, including batteries, and would increase my monthly costs by approximately $150.
I feel that the sales representative misled us. We specifically asked about adding more panels from the beginning, and we were told it would not be a problem if we ever needed them. Now, instead of honoring what was represented to us, Sunrun is requiring us to enter into a new contract and pay significantly more money for the additional panels that we originally wanted. None of this was clearly explained to us when we signed the original agreement. Had we been properly informed, we would have made a different decision at the time. When I raised these concerns, I was told that I "should have thought about it when I signed the contract" and that there was nothing they could do other than offer a new contract.
I am on a fixed income and should have the batteries discounted at the very least instead of having to renew a contract. Salespeople and company are not on the same page. I am extremely disappointed with how this situation has been handled. I feel that I was misled during the sales process and that the promises made to us were not honored. I am requesting that Sunrun correct this issue without requiring me to pay additional costs for the panels I originally requested. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Sunrun to my friends or family.

Sunrun made it easy. My electricity bill was high. It's better now because it's not that high. My husband passed away, so I lost some of his income. This helps a bit. This time of the year, my light bill is inexpensive, which makes it nice when you open up your light bill, and you don't see a $400 or $500 bill. The main concern was I didn't know if I want to be logged in for so many years. I don't know how many years that I have to be obligated. But it doesn't hurt to give Sunrun a try. In the long run, you're going to save money. There's a girl that I know who has Sunrun. She put it in for her and her mother. I guess she's satisfied with hers, too.
Thank you for taking the time to share this, Cynthia! We're really sorry to hear about the loss of your husband, and we're glad to hear that going solar has helped ease the burden of high energy bills during this time. Thank you for being part of our Sunrun family!

I'm an old man who believed their salesman who stated that I would receive "1" bill from them and that they would take care of my Ameren bill. Discovered after a month of operation that I am receiving bills from both Sunrun and Ameren. Called their support folks and was told that I'm stuck with their contract. Told me that their salesman is no longer with the company which doesn't help me at all. Will be talking to an attorney. The system has been down for over a month and they are taking their sweet time to resolve. So sick and tired of dealing with liars and cheats. What happened to integrity and customer service?

I am waiting for over a month for installation. I was texted I hadn’t paid my electric bill, called electric co, my bill was paid. Then texted me that my tax bill wasn’t paid, checked further and my taxes were paid. They had me mixed up with someone else! The person in the office who was taking care of my installation is Shanae **. I am requesting she be removed from handling my installation. I will admit my neighbors are very happy with the installation of their solar panels from Sunrun. And 90 minutes ago they said they would be here within the hour.

Updated on 06/28/2026: Nothing. Phone call from someone from Sunrun the day after this review was published; another employee called the following day. That is it. Back to crickets and nothing fixed, scheduled to be fixed or resolved. High temps, going on 5th month of no solar energy being generated and zero accountability. Horrible.
Original Review: When the system is online and working properly, there's no problem to report. Currently, the Sunrun solar panel system has been down since March with no clear answers to resolve this costly issue. Rising energy bills must be paid as well as solar panel contract bills must be paid for a product that does not work and a company that is not willing to return calls or give any kind of straight answers for several months. What kind of business practice is this?
