The installation was great. Sunrun said they'd come in and do this and that, and they did everything that needed to be done. The representative was really nice. He came to my home and explained what it was. He said what it was gonna do and the cost. He also said what they'd had to come out and do, and took care of everything. It was done in a timely manner. It was all good. The only thing that was a surprise was because Illinois raised taxes, now we have to pay a minimal fee of tax on our solar panel. I called Sunrun about that because I didn't understand why there was an increase, and the rep was very nice to explain it. Other than that, we're very happy with it. It's very cost-efficient. My bill for energy is a lot less. If you wanna save money in the summer on your air conditioning bill, get Sunrun.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Eugenia! We're so glad to hear everything went smoothly and that your representative helped explain the process clearly for you. It's great to hear that you're seeing a difference in your utility bill. Thanks so much for sharing!

I had somebody come by the house, talking about solar. I investigated it, and got some references from other people. Then I selected Sunrun, the first company that contacted me, and I did not have any problems enrolling with them. Since I've been with them, I get my bill every month, then my utility bills are lower. They are a reputable company and I'm very satisfied with them.
Tamara, thank you so much for sharing this with us. We love hearing how the switch has brought you predictable, lower monthly bills. Thank you for choosing Sunrun as your trusted solar and battery provider.

Faith was my lady who did my Sunrun stuff and she was fantastic. She was so nice, and anytime I needed to get ahold of her for any reason, she was right on it. She's the best and switching to solar was very easy with one exception. I have an HOA and Sunrun initially put the system up on the wrong place. However, they corrected it and it was fine. Currently, I'm enjoy huge savings. Depending on the month, it would be anywhere from $150 to $400. People have no idea what I was paying for my air conditioning. It was unreal. I love Sunrun and I wish everybody had it. I have recommended it to people too, but they haven't done it and it's ticking me off. "You're being a fool. Why don't you do it?"
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Elizabeth. We're so happy to hear that you're seeing significant savings by switching to solar. Our goal is to make solar an easy and enjoyable experience for you, and we're delighted that your representative, Faith, was there to help guide you through your solar journey.

Sunrun's rep made promises that he had difficulty fulfilling, but he finally fulfilled them. And during the process, he disappeared. I told him, “I've looked at three other companies and I'm in a quandary because I need to replace my roof.” He said, “What if I put a package together that would include replacing your roof and getting new panels? I said I'll entertain that. He came back and we sat down, looked at everything and signed an agreement. However, I had a difficult time hearing from him. I would leave messages. He wouldn't respond.
A few times, I said, “I have no idea what you're doing.” Every time I threatened to cancel the contract, he would show up. He finally said, “I'm having difficulty finding someone that's going to do the roof at a price that I thought I could get done.” I said, “I have three leads for you.” He ended up using one of the leads I gave him. I tried to be proactive. They came in. As soon as the roof got done, the rep disappeared.
I started dealing with customer service. They're in California, and very nice folks, and one rep said, “Your sales rep is no longer representing our company.” She provided some contacts because the folks who were going to install the panels were out of Worcester, Massachusetts, which is 45 minutes east of us. That took a long time for it to happen, but we started the process in April when I signed my contract. The panels got turned on two Octobers ago, on October 22nd. That's what my bill is due on October 22nd. It has been wonderful.
I've run into different folks at Lowe's. Sunrun hangs out there. I've had some bad experiences. National Grid is the electric company I use. There's a litigation going on between Sunrun and National Grid. I have lots of credit, and we live on the second ridge of a mountain, so there are a lot of blackouts. I figured it would be a great opportunity for me to charge the batteries. Sunrun never told me that they have a problem and they can't do any business with customers with National Grid, but they could do with Eversource, which is the other electric company in town close by. One day, I ran into a nice guy who represents this area. I expressed my frustration. He said, “I need to explain to you what's going on. These folks that you see in Lowe's are new hires. They don't know a lot. We're just kind of trying and training them while we're going through a process."
I was content with that answer, but out of nowhere, I got a phone call because I had expressed to him that I was interested in batteries. They told me that they've worked out an arrangement where the battery would be a separate installation that could not be attached to the current installation that I have. This young lady called up and we're having a very nice conversation, and she said, “Would you be interested in an appointment?” I said, “Absolutely, I'd be interested in an appointment” because I had received offers from the National Grid to provide batteries. I said, “Now I have two choices. I'll figure out which one works best for my finances and we'll go from there.”
I asked for an appointment. I had to provide my Social Security. A credit run was run to me. I was talking to her. I got this text from Sunrun saying, ”You've been approved for installation of your batteries.” I said, “I'm waiting for an appointment. I don't know how she did it or manipulated it. Now all of a sudden, they run a credit check on me and I've been approved for it.” I asked her, “Did you do this?” She said, “Yes. The only way we're gonna come out is that if you provide us with a credit card.” I said, “For what? I haven't bought anything yet. I'm already with an agreement contract with Sunrun and I didn't have to go through any of this stuff. She hung up on me.
The service is awesome. I am saving a ton of money on my electric bill, because I hear all my neighbors. We're the lowest usage in electricity, because I generate all the electricity that we use and providing credit, because typically, there's about $115 monthly charge for delivery of electricity. My credit absolves that. The local team just sucks. They're inexperienced, belligerent, angry, and very aggressive without any knowledge. I've been in sales for 45 years. I sold marketing. You don't have to be aggressive. You're trying to sell savings to the customer. That’s the easiest sale in the world.

We had been thinking about solar for a while, but hadn't decided on a particular carrier. A salesman from Sunrun walked into our yard and did the presentation right then and there, and I was very impressed with it. We got 16 panels and the installation went very smoothly. Everybody we dealt with was very professional and it was completed in three months from the time that the first salesman showed up till the time it was functioning. It was quick. I would like to pay a little bit less, but I understand how they got to their cost.
We've been very happy with our electric bill and the experience was positive. But there are a number of things you need to consider before you think about putting solar on your house, such as a fairly new roof, an updated electrical system, and the pitch of the roof. We have a very steep roof so when snow falls on the panels, it's only a day or two before the snow falls off on its own. I have neighbors a few houses away that also have Sunrun panels on them, and those panels still have the snow on them from last week. The pitch of the roof is not steep at all, so they're not getting any benefit from the sun. And that's not Sunrun's fault.
This winter is very cold, so right now, I'm using extra electricity in the cellar. I have to run a space heater underneath the kitchen pipes to keep the pipes from freezing. So that uses more electricity than a warmer winter. I'm still not paying the power company and I haven't for almost a year. But within a month or two, I may have to pay them because all my solar credits will be used up. But I'm expecting that.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Beth! We're thrilled to hear that you've had a good experience with us and that you're happy with your electric bill. It's great to hear that your system has been working well for you in the summer and winter. Thank you for helping us create a planet run by the sun.

I was trying to save a buck and see if I could get ahead of the game and looked into getting solar. I heard about Sunrun through a friend and when I switched, it was okay initially. But I never saw that I was not earning credits. I earned credits two months out of the first 14 to 16 months that I had it. So, I came to the conclusion that the salesperson undersold me on purpose so they could come back and try to sell me more panels. The salesperson I was working with, James, was always good at getting back to me, but he was never good at explaining things. He always wanted to rush me through everything like the DocuSign. When I asked about extra panels and Tesla batteries, he said my payment would go from $115 to $145. I thought I was getting Tesla batteries along with it, which was the steal of the century.
Any time I had a question, he told me to listen to this recording and just say yes to everything. And I did. At one point, they said there's gonna be a 3.5% increase each year and I said yes to it. As soon as I got off the phone, I called him and asked about it. He told me not to worry about it and said it was something on their end. When they first started installing the panels, he said they couldn’t do six and would do eight. Then, I was shown the diagram and was told they would be in a straight line across the roofline because I was concerned about how they would look on the front of my house. When they put them in, they were not in a straight line like he said. At that point, I accepted it.
It took from October of 2024 until around August of 2025 for the panels and Tesla battery to pass inspection and get activated. Then I started getting messages to sign up for autopay. I already did that and so, I called Sunrun. They told me I had a contract for $115 and another for $145, which brought my total to about $260 a month. I have never spent more than $200 on an energy bill in my lifetime, and I’m 55 years old. Our house is very efficient, for the most part, and we've always kept our energy bill down.
I called James right away and asked what the messages were about. He told me I had signed up. I explained that he never made it clear that I would be paying for two separate contracts. He had told me my payment would go from $115 to $145, which sounded like it was just about $30 more than what I was already paying. If that had truly been the case, I would have agreed to it. If it had been clearly explained that I would be paying $115 plus an additional $145, I never would have signed up for that. He denied lying, but I told him directly that he had misrepresented the situation. We can pay it but it alerts me that they don’t have an honest person working for Sunrun. Later on, the people who referred us to Sunrun experienced the same thing. And if this continues with Sunrun, they are gonna have a serious problem on their hands. Never go to Sunrun.

A Sunrun representative came to my door, and for some reason, I let him in and listen to his spiel. I thought about it a long time because my son had solar, and he paid for his own under the first system where he gets paid for whatever he doesn't use. I couldn't afford $30,000 for nine panels so I didn't do it. But the Sunrun guy made it easy enough for me to look at a monthly payment and figure out that that was what I was going to do. I was impressed that he wasn't totally into selling me on it. He was very clear that I was not going to get solar for free. Those advertisements are not correct, and that's not what this program does. I will get billed a monthly bill, whereas all of the other companies, when you're calling in and you're seeing an ad on TV and they say it's free, they're not really telling you the truth.
The signup process was fine. The installation was very difficult because I have a 78 year old house with the original rafters. Sunrun's first design was to put the panels on the old house. I had had solar people come out and give me bids before, but that was to buy it myself. But one of the solar people who came out and gave me a bid said, “You should put it on your garage, because your garage is recent and the roof is new.” You can see all the rafters from the inside, so you know exactly where to put the panels and not take a chance on doing something wrong.
My garage is detached, so what they had to do was the panel was on my house and they ran a tube across the roof from the panel down the side of the house. They told me that it was required by the city of Upland to dig a tunnel underneath the ground and then go up onto my garage, which is where the panel is. The solar panel is on the side of the garage because the garage gets sun 18 hours a day. Now, my SoCal Edison bill is always negative 60. The first was negative 90. Last summer, the lowest negative was 42.

I like Sunrun as a company, and the service was great. They did an excellent job. I didn't have a problem with the price, but I've referred probably three other people, and they came back and said Sunrun was more expensive than a lot of other solar companies. Still, you get what you pay for. When they came out and did the presentation for us, the experience was pleasant. The initial presentation was the rep wanted to see where we wanted the panels, how much energy we wanted them to generate, and how much we want to offset our utility bill. So based on how much we wanted to offset our utility bill, he took that information down and did a workup on how many panels we needed to reach that goal. We had given them about three months of electric bills, and he used that as a basis for determining how many panels we would need.
After that, he came back with the actual number of panels and the cost. We went with it right then and there. We decided on 21 panels. The installers came in the morning. They had a crew of about eight people, and they did what they needed to do. I stayed out of their way. They’re the pros. Once they had everything installed, they had to be inspected by the city, so that was another week or so. We didn't really notice anything for about a month. It had to cycle or do whatever it does for about a month, and then we noticed that it had kicked in and the electric bill had dropped. We've noticed a major difference. We've had 100% savings. Overall, Sunrun, is a great company to go with.

WARNING, DO NOT PURCHASE SOLAR PANELS FROM SUNRUN. We purchased our second set of panels from SunRun in June 2025 (they purchased the company we originally dealt with). When speaking with our sales rep David ** he assured us that as soon as the final inspections were complete he would have his guys return to install both critter guards as well as snow guards on the new panels. He also agreed to supplement the cost of critter guards on the original set of panels since they have had to come out and make repairs to our system caused by squirrels chewing through wires.
Since that time I have received no follow up calls from the company. I have placed three calls to them in an attempt to follow up. Each call has resulted in the person taking my call taking all of my information then telling me I would be transferred to the appropriate department. When I spoke with that person I had to supply all of the same information again only to be told I would be on a "brief hold" so they could look up my information. These holds usually lasted for 5 to 15 minutes. When they returned they informed me they needed to speak with David about this issue and asked if I had received anything in writing. I advised them I did not but David assured me it was fine since everything was being done on a recorded line. I was again put on a "brief hold" lasting another 10 to 15 minutes. One lasting for 45 minutes and then being disconnected.
On my last call, my fourth call, I spoke with a customer service rep, Mindy and again supplied her with all of my information telling her about the promises made to us by David. She placed me on another "brief hold" about 10 minutes while she attempted to reach David. When she returned she informed me he did not answer even though his call box said he was available and informed me she would send an email to him as well as his supervisor Makenna ** detailing my complaints. I was Cc on the email. It has been days since this email was sent and I have received no follow up calls or emails, as expected. This company does NOT follow through with any customer complaints. As soon as your panels are installed you are a forgotten party. They may as well delete you from their contact lists. DO NOT PURCHASE YOUR SOLAR SYSTEM FROM SUNRUN. YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DO!
Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us, Kyle. We are truly sorry to hear that there was a miscommunication with your sales representative, and our team would like the chance to look into the Critter Guard and the snow guard to see how we can help. Please be on the lookout for a private message requesting some additional account information. Thank you!

I wanted the whole house fan to suck the hot air out of the house in the summertime. I got it for free but they also told me I had to get solar. I did it with Sunrun and I like it. The process was very easy and they're been great so far. I have a battery too. They tell you to do your main appliances during the daytime when the sun is out. I live in California, so it's out 95% of the time. When you get the Nest thermostat, there are also these contests and they tell you to power down from a specific window of time, and you earn points. I do that a lot too.
Having a solar energy system with Sunrun, I like that I don't have to pay an electric bill. They say I produce more than I use. I'm hearing these people in the summertime paying $400 or $500 bills and I'm not. I don't worry about putting my air conditioner on in the summer. I also don't worry about putting my heater on in the winter. Sunrun's been great and I've already recommended them.
Hi Linda, thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad your system and battery are delivering the savings you expected and helping you avoid high seasonal bills! It's great to know the process was seamless and truly appreciate your recommendations. We hope you continue the benefits of solar for years to come.

We got our second set of solar panels with Sunrun. They put 18 more on the roof and the installation process was very good. They showed me what needed to happen. They had to get all the city permits and it took a little bit while, but they were very professional. I have a battery backup too, so they had to put a new panel in so that they could put the eight circuits. When the power goes out, it's 30 seconds and my power is back on. It's pretty cool.
Sunrun bought out the company we got our first set from so our sets of panels are now both under Sunrun. They're all on the same bill which is about $300 or $400 a month. But people's bills out here are probably $600 or $700. Now I get a negative on my bill from Southern California every month. I like my solar panels and I recommend them to people if they ask me.
Hi Catherine, thank you for trusting us again with your second system! We're so glad the installation went smoothly and that you're seeing negative bills every month.

I met a guy who had solar installed and I was concerned about energy costs. He told me about the broker he used and his positive experience, and I contacted the broker. When I decided to switch over to Sunrun, there was a glitch because the city was being difficult about approving the system. They said my power box needed to be grounded. I told them it was grounded, with a grounding rod and a large copper wire bolted onto it, but they said they couldn’t see it.
The inspector was scheduled three times. The first time, my son was home and I was on vacation, and it was last-minute scheduling. Sunrun was trying to get the system approved because it had already taken about a month and a half for paperwork to go through. The guy left and I found out about it, so I contacted him again. I used a borescope camera to drop into the wall and capture the copper connection going up to the box. I provided that to the city inspector, and he signed off on it.
Sunrun offered a battery but I declined. I’m just renting the system, and I paid it off in case I sell the house so someone can assume the agreement. I don’t trust battery technology yet. A neighbor had a near-meltdown in his garage with a battery a couple of years ago, and they’re still not sure why. I understand electronics and electricity but what they're doing right now is not the best way to do it with the batteries they have. It was a cheap, quick and dirty way to do it and they need to spend more money and time figuring out the kind of storage.
The installation crew was a subcontractor and the salesperson was separate, and Sunrun handles billing and paperwork. Sometimes I get batches of emails from SDG&E, a net metering or consumer group, and Sunrun, and it’s not always clear how to put all the information together. I’m paying a lot less for power now than when I was just going through SDG&E, and I haven’t reached the breakeven point yet. It would be helpful if I could be provided a comparison chart showing where I was, where I am now, and where I will be.
Hi David, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that there were some delays with getting the system approved, but are happy to hear that you're paying a lot less for power now. If there is anything we can help you with, please send us a private message. Thanks!

Signing up with Sunrun was awesome. Austin was great. He gave us a lot of information, and we were sold. They explained everything really well. Everything was also fast. I was impressed. Their app is also pretty informative. Since having the panels installed, my bills have been lower. Whereas with SDG&E just alone, we never knew what was coming. At least now I have an idea what I'm gonna be paying monthly, whereas with SDG&E, it was a surprise.
There was one issue, but they fixed it. The meter had been out for three months, and they didn't contact me directly. I wish that I had gotten a phone call. Maybe they sent an email, but I don't check my emails. I didn't know that it was happening. But they came and they did whatever they had to do. However, I did receive a check in the mail, close to $700. But it was to my address written out to Sunrun, so I couldn't do anything with it. I might have mailed it back, so I don't know what happened there. I don't know if that was SDG&E paying Sunrun. I just know that they took care of it. Even Sunrun couldn't figure it out, and SDG&E couldn't figure it out.

A salesman came to the door from Vivint, and he made a proposal for the solar panels. My wife and I talked about it, then the salesman came by about three days later and we told him we’d go ahead and do it. They arranged for the solar panels, the inspections, and all the paperwork. They sent a guy out and he inspected the roof, then he made his report and another guy came out. They measured all that they were gonna put on, and when he left, another guy came and they sent all of the paperwork for me. They did everything and to have it all installed with absolutely no money out of my pocket is amazing.
Making the switch was straightforward and I didn't lay out one time. It went from an interview and presentation to signing, and then, all of a sudden, people were out here doing the installation. The guys came in and they cleaned up. They were also very careful and pleasant to be around and I enjoyed talking to them while they were working.
The change was subtle and I never even knew the difference as far as the warmth of my house. It depends on what people set their thermostat at. I've had no reason to not enjoy solar. My power bills went down. I'm satisfied because I haven't had any problems and hopefully, that continues. A lot of my neighbors are now getting solar panels installed as well and while I don't know if it’s through Sunrun, nobody's complaining.
Hi Robert, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Sunrun had a young man who was going from house to house. They worked on my neighbor, then they walked to my house and asked me if I was interested. I looked into solar energy and the potential savings I was going to have, and when I enrolled with Sunrun, it was good. I didn't have any issues. They explained things to me. They came to my house and they were patient and very professional. I appreciated that.
With solar energy, I don't pay compared to where I used to but I was under the impression that I was going to pay a certain amount for the next few years. When I looked now, I realized that the price has gone up and I wasn't happy about that. Besides that, Sunrun is dependable and at the end of last year's cycle, ComEd sent me a check, which I would have never expected. It means that I'm using less than I'm producing, so for the benefits, I feel okay.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Nji. It's great to hear you're happy with your decision and seeing the benefits firsthand. We are thrilled to hear that you received a check from ComEd last year. Thanks for being part of our Sunrun family!

I had solar panels from Sunrun via Costco installed in 2021 with a back up battery which we purchased outright. The process was very easy, the installers were great. Within about 8 months we started getting issues with our panels not communicating properly to the app or the grid, so a tech came over and rectified the issue. There was no charge.
About a month ago (4 1/2 years after installation), we have the same or similar problem. I contact the company who are now demanding a fee of $561 just to come out to essentially diagnose the cause. Although they are now wording it as a “Service” to ensure that our panels are working to their optimum level on the Docusign document to sign before they will come out. Obviously the cost to rectify the issue will be also added, meaning this could get very expensive very quickly as I will be expected to believe the cost of the necessary repair be the market rate of what they demanding. Very disappointing.

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

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

A young lady was walking in the neighborhood, and she was talking to someone, and my neighbor said she was doing the solar panels. I called her and told her I was interested in hearing what it was about. The presentation was good. The reps talked about the panels and roughly what it would cost. At the time, I was looking into getting a new roof and we talked about that because the roof was in terrible shape. They couldn't put the panels on it. I've talked to different people and listened to the prices. But Sunrun could do my roof at a more reasonable price. The young lady checked into it and looked to see if I was qualified, and we went through the procedure.
The guys came and did the roof. After they stripped everything off, the inspectors had to come and inspect to make sure any bad or rotting wood was replaced. They inspected it, and after the roof was finished, the inspector came again. They also had to install another panel because of the solar panels, so someone was sent to install that. Everything required an inspection. The installers came, installed the panels, and it was okay. I have between 9 and 13 panels and I now have savings on my electric bill. I have credit with my electric company, with just a slight charge that’s not really for the electricity. The credit keeps adding up. When we have outages in California, it’s not a long period of time, and it’s divided into areas. So, I didn’t need a backup battery. Pricewise, the solar panels are reasonable. I recommend Sunrun to one of my girlfriends, and she got it.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Lurline. We're thrilled to hear that switching to solar has helped you save money and even accumulate credits! It's wonderful to know that your system is delivering such great results. Thank you for being part of our Sunrun family!

Our neighbor was getting the system on first, and they had just moved in, so I didn't introduce myself at all when they were first moving in. They were getting the system installed on the second day, and I went up there and finally introduced myself. I said, “Hey, what do you guys think of that?” I asked them, and the lady was very nice. She said, “Let me get you my son, because I don't speak that great English.” He was the one that encouraged getting them, and I said, “Okay. I'm gonna see what's more.” At Costco, I always see the Sunrun person and I just walk by them. However, having more people getting something interests everybody. “How come that person has it and how come that person has it? Why do we not have it?” That's how we got the system.
We were walking out of Costco, and the Sunrun guy gave us a pamphlet, so I looked into it a bit. I do work for an insurance company, so I know a lot about energy and I was interested. We called the number, then they came out and gave us more information about it, then my husband and I decided to do it. Enrolling with Sunrun was a great experience. The rep came and explained everything to us very thoroughly. He even said, “If you guys have any questions afterwards, give us a call.” Everything is functioning and we see the amount of energy produced in our bill. It comes in the statement.
We still have a payment that we do to ComEd, but sometimes, especially in the summer, we don't even get a bill from them because we accrued that much energy. Now that winter is finally passing through, we had to pay an amount, and my husband and I said, ‘Man, I can't wait for summer so we don’t have to pay for anything.” Sunrun has an app where I can go in and get the bill, and I can ask it to break things down for me, or I could just read it. There was a point where I thought, “I don't know what that means.” I texted the guy that installed the system, and he explained to me a bit about it. He said I could call the number too, but it was so much easier going through him.
Sunrun said, “Hey, if you refer somebody, you can get an incentive.” It was a referral thing and I said, “Oh, okay,” but we have no family around us. I really like Sunrun's products, but I am so not good at explaining things as well. Still, I can tell people, “If you are interested in wanting to know a bit more about it, contact this person.”

Overall, Sunrun did a decent job. I was able to reach them, and they billed us properly. The system was operational most of the time. But beware because we had some issues and we don't know if we saved much. You need to do your research before you commit to that. I was at a Home Depot and someone from Sunrun approached me asking if we would be interested in putting solar panels on our house.
Initially, we had a lot of problems as far as getting the system installed. It was a very lengthy delay between when we first signed the contract and when they could do the installation. After the installation, there were several more months before the system was operational. A few months after the system became operational, it failed and we had to wait several more months for them to repair it. But much to their credit, they sent me some compensation checks and they stopped the billing. They at least tried to assist us with the fact we were not generating our own power.
However, Sunrun made it sound like we would get tax breaks when I was first approached, but we then found out that, because we were leasing, we were not eligible for any tax breaks because we had solar panels. I don't know if we saved any money because we paid a monthly lease. The system did save us money in the summertime. But in the winter, when there was very little sunlight, it made no difference. It's hard to say in retrospect whether it was a good financial decision.
Hi Barry, thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We're glad you were able to reach out to our team and that billing was handled properly.

Freedom Forever approached me about having solar panels on my house and they installed the solar panels. I pay Sunrun $45 a month and they manage the transfer and sale of the electricity I have generated from the solar panels. Then, I get a monthly statement or a statement about how much electricity I have generated. I have eight panels on the house, and they took the two-year average. I’m a little disturbed that in those two years, I was gone in the summertime, and the air conditioner was set at 90. And that goes back to what happens when I get my PNM bill. This year, Sunrun is charging me $49.26 a month, and I interpret that as a monthly payment. It's a 25-year contract, and it goes up a little bit every month, every year. If you multiply that, I'm paying off those solar panels because when I was first approached about them, there was no cost for the installation.
In January, my PNM bill was $13, and the highest it got in June through September 2025, when I was home, was around $13.05. In comparison, January last year was $35, and January 2023 was $54. Before I got Sunrun in November 2023, my electric bill was $123 in August or September, and in July 2023 was $135. So compared to those months, I am seeing lower PNM bills. So, I’m saving. But after doing an annual analysis comparing what I pay Sunrun plus PNM versus what I used to pay, I might be about even overall. I’m not necessarily saving money, but I'm doing my part to give us an alternative to electricity.
I considered adding a solar panel to get my solar energy production to exceed my usage, so I wouldn't have to pay PNM anything, but Sunrun said I’d have to go through a completely new contract with the state for the design. And that’s not worth it. But I knew about the green, yellow, and red zones, and my neighborhood was yellow, so I jumped in. The selling factor for me was that I didn’t put any money out. A friend of mine put out $10,000 to have solar panels put on. So, not having to put any money out, it was a yes for me.
Doing the analysis of how much usage your house uses is important to be sure you’re giving accurate numbers. I did my June, July, and August for the two years they took averages on, and it was not a realistic usage. People need to make sure they’re giving true historical usage before determining how many panels they need. I sent this guy to a friend’s house, and she was blown away when they did her analysis. She hadn’t realized how much electricity she was using. She has 33 panels on her flat roof, and I have eight. She had her mother on oxygen and air conditioning, so they were probably overusing it because of that, and she got a better result.

Sunrun is a good company. I've had a good experience with their reps. They were really personable. They weren't pushy. They gave us all the information and let us make our own decision. The installation went fairly smoothly, too. They handled everything. They went and had all the permits drawn and everything went according to plan. We got eight panels. They don't cover our energy 100%, but we have a lot of trees that cover the front of the house. But it makes a good impact on our power bill, where it has decreased it significantly. I also have their app downloaded and it's very user-friendly and easy to understand.

Sunrun has a beautiful website, but it's vague. Still, we got the panels and switching to solar was easy. Sunrun offers a great deal. It feeds across. We get one for our voltage that we put across versus receive. That's all good. That's probably part of the local utilities more than anything else, but I thought we were gonna have a much better savings in general. The overall service went great. They had a heck of a time with the city. Some of the ordinances are a pain in the butt, but they took care of everything. Also, I'm not happy with anybody getting on my roof for any reason and I told them ahead of time that if the installers twist their foot on that roof, they're gonna ruin it. I was watching them closely during install and they did well. In general, everything went well.
The system is saving us a little money and I'm happy with it. Our electric bill averages around $35, plus the lease we pay to Sunrun. That's 105. That's less than what our electric bill was before. However, when their reps came to my door and talked to us, they told us things that weren't in the contract. The first one was if our bill was over $35 a month within the year, they would reimburse us. The second one that didn't come about, they said if we ever wanted them removed, it was no charge. They'd remove them and that was a lie. It's not like it was a surprise, but I emailed corporate to let them know that those people told us quite a few stories. But then I never heard anything from them, so I dropped it.

Updated on 10/04/2026: Sunrun I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with how my solar system installation and service have been handled. My system has now been non-operational for approximately 19 months, yet I have continued making payments to Sunrun AND continued receiving high electric bills from my utility company. I was told when I purchased the system that my electric bill would be nonexistent or very low. Instead, I have been dealing with significant electric bills while also paying for a solar system that has not been producing power. Sunrun representatives have now acknowledged that my system is undersized. I was also told that the system was originally sized using my home’s square footage because I did not have 12 months of electricity usage history.
The representative who sold me the system acknowledged that he did not advise me to wait a year before installing solar. To make matters worse, after months of being non-operational, Sunrun’s contractor identified serious problems with the original installation involving the mounts, lags, sealant, wiring, and roof, including concerns about the potential for roof leaks. My roof was replaced in April 2025. So I have been paying for a solar system that hasn’t been producing, still paying high utility bills, and dealing with potential damage to a relatively new roof. I have spent months contacting Sunrun, following up, waiting for inspections, waiting for reports, and waiting for repairs. This has gone on far too long.
I need Sunrun to take responsibility and make this right. I want my roof properly restored, my solar system correctly repaired and sized, and the financial impact of having a non-operational system and continued high electric bills for 19 months properly addressed. This is not the solar experience I was promised. 19 months is unacceptable. @Sunrun, when are you going to make this right?
Original review: My system has been down since March of 2025 and Sunrun has not repaired the issue. I constantly get the run around, yet I continue to pay every month. I wouldn’t recommend Sunrun to anyone.

I've been in solar since 1986. When I was over in Mexico, I was a snowbird down on the Baja. At the time, that was the first time that I heard that Sunrun was a big company in solar. Then, when I came here to Florida and they started opening up to come into Florida to get the solar, I wanted solar. So, I decided I would go with one of the largest companies in the United States. Before, I had Marine Batteries where you would buy the panels and set things up yourself. Compared to that, my setup with Sunrun works very well. I have a lease, then I also purchased seven panels because I bought the batteries. The battery backup is cool when there's a hurricane and everything goes out. With it, all of a sudden, you have electricity.
I've have Sunrun for at least four years and so far, the electricity bill is less than $40 a month. But then the lease is 103, so that's not bad. Down here in Florida, in a house my size, which is a three-bedroom, two-bath ranch, you could have an electric bill of around 190. And sometimes in the summer months, when the air conditioner's going, you could have over $200. So I'm still below the average. Last February, we had a lot of cloudy days and I had days where I was going onto the grid. But I get at least one month free a year. Then this year, my $40 bill went down to 21 for the month of February. So it's not huge savings, but I am getting savings.
I told everybody to only go with Sunrun and the ones that ended up with another contractor are not happy. The only problem I have with Sunrun is I have two systems and they only see the system that I'm leased with. I have 28 panels and they keep saying I got 21 and I'm getting all kinds of energy. So, they never see the system. But I can deal with that.

Sunrun does good work. Their customer service was excellent. They answered all our questions and helped us with the paperwork. The process was quite an ordeal. They didn't want to put solar panels on a house with no insulation, and we had insulation but it was not up to par. So, we took care of that. It took a while, and it was a year process. We had 18 solar panels installed on the front and then there are some on the back, too. The installation was quick. Once the insulation was in and we got approved, it was a one day deal that they put the solar panel, and then there was another day to hook it all up.
We're getting our battery pack installed on February 10th. We're gonna do it because when we don't have the solar panels working and it's not sunny out, we're using regular fuel and that's still costing us a lot of money, especially with the cold weather. Some months, we didn't pay at all. The other months were very good, and then we paid a lot of money for electricity and heat the last two months even though we have the Sunrun solar panel. The battery backup will eliminate that because it'll store the energy. We're not saving money as much as I thought, but that's only because of the way the house is set up. It's got a high ceiling. When the sun is out, it's very efficient.
When it's really cold out, we're saving a little bit, but not near as much if we get the battery packs. Our electric bill last month was 600 bucks. We also have Eversource, which is gas, and that was $300. Then, we have the Sunrun bill, which is 180. Normally, it's 150 bucks and the Eversource is $60. If we have the battery backup, the gas will be the same. If the battery packs hold up, it'll be zero on the National Grid side and then we'll just pay an average monthly fee of 130 for the batteries. If we ever lose power, it stores two days. Then, as it is sunny the next day, it recoups another two days. So, we don't ever run out of power. So, the battery packs is a pretty good idea. I wish they would have done that from the get-go. They came back and offered it later because the bills were high.
Overall, going with Sunrun was a great idea. It's absolutely worth it. They were really on top of their game. They keep in contact you. They answer the phone and they get back to you. You can always get ahold of somebody and find out answers. It's first class all the way. It's much better compared to National Grid and Eversource. Everything is very self-explanatory on the bill. The cost was just a little higher than I thought. I thought everything was free, but it's just free to get going and then you get a monthly bill. Maybe I misunderstood, but they made it sound like it was free and it really wasn't. The Sunrun app, which is a website is live and you can find out exactly what your house is doing. It's a good service. It doesn't really tell you what you would have paid if you didn't have it. You have to figure that out for yourself if you can do that.

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

We have been happy with Sunrun. We were thinking about solar panels when my husband was shopping at Costco and walked towards the people from Sunrun. They came to our house and we decided to go with them. They were very professional. We asked questions. They explained to us what would happen with the installation. We had people come over and measure. Everything went smoothly. We tried to reach Sunrun afterwards once or twice. We might have had a bit more difficulty reaching anybody. But we were able to, and our question was answered. They started billing us. They are taking the money directly from our checking account every month with no problem. We decided to go with the lease option, so we pay so much a month. When we sell the house, it will come with the house. People who will buy the house will have to continue paying the $110 a month. That will be their choice, whether they buy the house or not.
Our neighbor across went with another company because they wanted to put the panels on the east side in the front of the house. We thought that was not a good idea because there is more shade than on the other side. So, we ended up going with another company and the panels on the west side of the house. The system works very well. Our electric bill is way down. That's what we were looking for. $18 a month instead of $80. We have an electric car. We have all kinds of electric batteries, tools for the garden and the house. So, we are in favor of electric. But we also put air conditioning.

I am writing to formally express my frustration and disappointment regarding my solar panel system. My system has not generated any energy since 07/10/2025. Today is 02/18/2026, which means I have been without production for over seven months. During this entire time, I have continued paying my electric bill in full. This situation has been extremely unacceptable. Technician appointments are repeatedly scheduled, but the technician never shows up. The appointments are constantly rescheduled for another date. After nearly six months of this, I was finally informed that the required part has not arrived, which is why the technician has been unable to complete the repair.
It is unacceptable that a company would allow a customer to wait six months for a replacement part. Now I am being told that the part is damaged, yet it has taken over half a year just to order it. This entire situation has been a nightmare. I do not recommend this company to anyone based on my experience. I expect an immediate resolution, clear communication, and a definitive repair date.
Hi Ricardo, we're very sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating it is to be without production for months while appointments continue to be rescheduled.

Hi, Robert, you may be able to add a battery to your current Sunrun system, but it depends on your location and the type of system you already have.

The representative from Sunrun who did the presentation was great. He explained that I would save money, and so far, I’ve saved a lot of money, especially with utilities going out of control. I looked into how expensive solar was and Sunrun showed me how the government pays for everything, and I just have to make a payment every month to them. The installation company drove a ground rod right through my water main. They fixed it, but it didn’t happen right away. They installed everything on a Friday, and Saturday morning, my yard was flooded. At first, I thought it was where they had connected new water lines from a few years ago, but it turned out to be about 30 feet away, where they drove the ground rod in. Other than that, it was okay. They covered everything well.
Sunrun put 30 panels on my roof, but didn’t offer the battery backup when I got mine. Still, when the snow doesn’t cover the panels, the system produces more than enough energy. I don’t have an electric bill except in the wintertime. I just wish there were some kind of heating system to melt the snow off the panels.

I was a physics teacher and I thought about using solar energy. One day, a Sunrun guy showed at my door and the way it had been presented was a good thing. My sister-in-law in California had been looking into it and had gone with installing batteries and all that stuff in her house. This was a whole lot lower cost way to get into it and it seemed like a good thing to do. So far, it's been a very positive experience and I haven't had any troubles with Sunrun at all. The installation has gone the way that the company had described it to go and it was seamless.
The switch-over was clean and without any hiccups. We've had a couple power outages, but that wasn't Sunrun's fault. They were general power outages and because of how it's set up, I was out of power just like the rest of the neighborhood. The only problem that I've ever had is having too much snow on the roof and that’s not a company problem. Everything has operated exactly as it was described to us as we were getting into it and I would recommend Sunrun to a friend.
This is fantastic to hear, Jon! We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the benefits of going solar and that the transition has been seamless. We appreciate your decision to choose sustainable energy and are here to support you every step of the way.

Working with Sunrun was pretty easy. They were more frustrated with trying to work with my utility company, which is no fault of theirs. Sunrun installed the system on the roof in August. We had it up and running, generating electricity in November. Most of the delay was dealing with the utility company. They actually put a new roof down before they installed the panels. They had a promotion that if I leased the panels, then they would give me a new roof and then put the panels on.bThat was one of the enticing factors for me to go with Sunrun.
hen they installed the system, they told me that it was only guaranteed to produce 70% or 75% of our usage. Depending on the weather, I have found that some months we produced more than we consumed, and there were some months where we produced less. The excess electricity is credited to my utility account. I would recommend Sunrun because when I've talked with other people who have had solar panels with smaller companies, over time some of those smaller companies have disappeared and they have no recourse for service if something comes up.
So far, we've had one issue. It took Sunrun a little bit of time to resolve, but they eventually did resolve it. They were pretty responsive when I called them up and told them the system wasn't working. They’d come out and troubleshoot to figure out what was going on and get it up and running as soon as they could. The individuals that I worked with at Sunrun were easy to work with. They were very pleasant, polite, and responsive.

I leased a solar system from Sunrun, expecting lower electric bills and professional system monitoring. Instead, I was charged monthly while my system produced virtually no electricity for most of 2025. From February through September 2025, my system generated 0 kWh for multiple consecutive months (with only minimal production in June). Despite this, Sunrun continued charging my full lease payment through autopay. During that period, I paid over $1,300 while receiving little to no solar production.
A technician who serviced the system in late September informed me that it had malfunctioned for most of the year. Production only resumed after that visit. I was never proactively notified that my system was not producing. When I raised the issue, it was framed as an “underproduction guarantee” matter based on an annual 90% calculation. However, this was not a seasonal shortfall — it was a prolonged system failure while billing continued uninterrupted.
After repeated follow-ups, a credit was issued months later, but no detailed explanation was provided showing how the amount was calculated. The credit appears significantly less than what was paid during the outage. Sunrun advertises system monitoring, maintenance, and performance protection. In my experience, the system malfunctioned for months without notice while billing continued. Consumers should closely monitor their production and billing rather than assume oversight is occurring. I am sharing this so others carefully review their production data and monthly charges.

SUNRUN rep convinced us to purchase a system in 2023 that would supply 85% of our electricity and a backup battery since we are in Florida where we lose electricity especially with storms to the sum of $54,000. The back up Battery NEVER worked when we lost electricity for over 2 years, I have been asking for refund or replacement of the battery for greater than 2 years unsuccessfully. They keep coming out stating it’s fixed now but when we lose electricity it never works.
The last visit for the battery was 11/2025, as usual they stated it’s fixed, however we have not had any storms, however, we did a test shutting down the electricity to the house and the battery did not back up yet again. So I guess we still have to wait again for another storm to find out if this battery will work even though it has NEVER WORKED. They attempted to give $900 credit for the fact that this battery has not worked since installation , however given that the battery has never worked and we paid $9,000 for the battery plus thousands for installation was not fair and equitable. Their offer cannot be a resolution given the history of this battery. I have been asking for replacement for years and they have ignored my request. Secondly, the panels have been having performance issues and underperforming.
I submitted a 2 year history of my electric bill to the customer service representative assigned to my case JUSTIN HOLCOLMB, showing a 300% increase in my electricity bill since May 2025 and he has been ignoring all my communications for the past few months.

BUYERS BEWARE THEIR 25 year warranty is not as it seems. I am being told since I own the system, I have to pay $600+ for a technician to come out to service this defective system I have had for less than 3 years.

I've had solar panels for about 15 years. A year ago I got the Sunrun backup batteries. Do Not sign up for this service! Their salespeople flat out lied about how much money I would make from selling the energy in the battery back to PGE. They even have an app that calculates how much you would make. Truth is that the energy companies which buy the electricity from you do not have a dollar to dollar value. One month I had a $1,400 credit (from the year's true up) and the next month it was only $800. The PGE rep told me that the $1,400 isn't really worth that, only about 2/3's of it. She couldn't explain how that math works out.
Furthermore, instead of taking my monthly electric charges out of whatever is left of my true up, they only give me a portion for some reason. This month it was $30 of my total bill (leaving $100 for me to pay), last month it was $50 credit and I still had to pay $30 (this is just for the electric part of the bill). The system was supposed to pay for itself, and it would have on paper. Unfortunately they don't tell you that your electric company doesn't have to play by the same rules. Get this system at your own risk, but you will not make anything near what the salespeople quote you. This system is in the desert of California, tons of sun.

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

The company was good to get a sales rep out and to get the install completed, but the quality of work was extremely poor, and the service after has been unacceptable. The team came out with no plan, they drilled a bunch of mounting holes in the roof then realized they were putting the panels in the wrong place. They slapped some tar on the holes and spray painted the area and called it good. They then drilled holes for the batteries on the side of the house in the wrong location and then smeared some stucco over the holes, not even covering them up properly, and left them at that.
I think they got more stucco on the concrete than they did over the holes. They left a mess after they left that I had to clean up.

I am writing this review to warn others about my experience with Sunrun. All sounds good until it’s not. We never had a leak in our roof until solar panels were installed. Company refused to take ownership of the leaks. From the outset, the system was misrepresented by the salesperson. I was led to believe the solar installation would significantly reduce my electricity costs. Instead, I found myself paying both my regular utility bill and the Sunrun Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), which was not clearly explained at the time of sale.
I was also told that if I ever needed roof repairs or work done, Sunrun would remove and reinstall the solar system for a reasonable fee. I later learned this was inaccurate. Sunrun now wants to charge approximately $7,000 for removal and reinstallation, or $600–$700 in inspection fees if I use my own contractor—despite the fact that city inspectors already perform all required inspections.
I lived in this home for over 20 years without any roof issues. Shortly after the solar panels were installed, my roof began leaking. Sunrun sent technicians who applied silicone around the panel bases and roof tiles, then claimed my roof was “too old” and denied responsibility. If my roof was truly unsuitable, it should not have passed their inspection or been approved for installation in the first place. After six years with the system, I contacted Sunrun to request a quote to purchase it outright. I was verbally quoted $23,000 plus tax but never received the quote in writing. When I followed up, I was given a new quote of $31,000 plus tax. When questioned, I was told the original representative had made a mistake.
Overall, my experience with Sunrun has been very disappointing. I regret having done business with such a repulsive company. If you are considering Sunrun, make sure everything is clearly documented in writing. What began as a hopeful investment in clean energy has turned into a costly nightmare and frustrating experience. This is a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE COMPANY. I would only recommend them to my worst enemy.

Sunrun had already installed the solar panels as part of the builder’s setup when I purchased my home and the system was already in place when I moved in. But my purchase only allowed for the house itself, so the solar panels are rented to me by Sunrun, which is fine. They just bill me for the solar service. There’s a meter installed in my house to track what I’m producing and it seems like I’m still paying quite a bit for my solar.
There’s not a lot of communication with Sunrun but when it comes to solar power, they're there. One time, the system wasn't producing a lot because there was something wrong with the Wi-Fi sensor that was not throwing any information to them or to mine. Their people came out right away and they were the ones who told me that there was something wrong with the communication between the solar sensors. They said they would fix it and get me back online, which was good. Having the solar system is a new experience for me and so far, Sunrun has taken care of everything. I would recommend them. It’s okay if people want Sunrun to do the services. They render.

Original Review: Jan. 21, 2026
I had a very shocking experience with Sunrun due to misleading sales practices. While I acknowledge that I should have reviewed the contract more carefully before signing, I relied on clear verbal assurances from Sunrun’s sales representative, Eli **. I was explicitly told that my electricity rate would never exceed 10 cents per kWh and that my monthly payment would be capped at $210 for the life of the contract. If I use less electricity I will be charge according to 10 cents per kWh. Based on these promises, I signed the agreement electronically in good faith.
After reviewing the actual contract, I discovered that these assurances were complete false. The contract requires a fixed $210 monthly payment plus utility company bill, for the first year regardless of usage and includes an annual 2.99% escalation. Over time, this could raise my payment to approximately $450 per month (even if I use less electricity) far beyond what was promised verbally. The written terms directly contradict what I was told during the sales process.
Although I take responsibility for not scrutinizing every detail before signing, this is a long-term financial commitment, and such discrepancies are unacceptable. Verbal promises that materially influence a customer’s decision should match the written contract. In my case, they did not. As a result, I am now stuck with a contract that has significantly affected my finances and has even made it extremely difficult for me to sell my home.

A few months later, the company had reps walking my neighborhood and they knocked on my door. When I explained my situation to the rep, Nick **, he generously wrote an email in that moment to Internal Escalations. Since, I have heard nothing from Sunrun. Then about a month ago, I received a bill from Sunrun for $427 for solar services. I called AGAIN to question this, as the panels are shut off, and the automated system continued to quote a bill for $100+?????
When I actually spoke with someone, he proceeded to tell me that they again switched their billing system and a lot of customers were receiving incorrect billing statements, the email was incorrect and I didn't owe anything. I questioned how many times they planned on switching billing systems, as this was the stem of my original issues. He looked more into my account and said that no one from Sunrun should have been reaching out to me bc my account was with their legal department????? He explained that Sunrun absorbed my account from another company and when this happened, it was basically lost, which is the reason why the account didn't switch over with the new billing system however many years ago.
When I asked why their legal department had the account, he couldn't give me an answer but instead said I needed to speak with account recovery. He tried to transfer me but that department couldn't take my call and said someone would be in touch with me in 24 hours. Am I crazy? But why is it taking written reviews for this company to try to rectify this situation and why is it taking years to resolve this issue? It seems they keep switching billing systems and that is the stem of their issues, as doing this somehow doesn't transfer all their customer accounts, picks up older, non-active accounts, or the new system fraudently bills and sends customers' statements that are not valid - all three that have happened to me. I wonder if I will truly get a call back in 24 hours and how they will try to rectify the situation.
Original review: Our house is all electric and our energy bills were becoming outrageous through BGE. We decided to go solar with Sunrun. Initially, everything was fine- installation, customer service, billing. About 1-2 years into our contract, we didn't get bills and the auto payment was no longer active. I tried to contact SunRun without success. When I got a collection notice, I was told SunRun was no longer in business and new company took over. I asked for the new company's info, the collection company did not have it and I was told they would contact me. I never got information for the new company, not an account # or place to send payments.
My contract clearly ended and BGE took over billing. Recently, I rec'd a random call from a #, who claimed they were SunRun and the CSR was calling to see how our service was doing???? I explained my situation and asked if SunRun was back in business, the guy said, "oh, ok, thanks" and hung up. I would love to restart solar since my electric bill is totally outrageous. Who do we contact?

My sister-in-law had gotten Sunrun and she told me I should get it as well. At the time, we were paying $500 a month for electricity and it was gonna be going up to $700. We had to look for something that could save us money and that was when we started with Sunrun. Our experience with them has been very easy, including paying bills online. They send me a statement, or I can go into their app. It will tell me how much energy I got that day or that month.
My electric bill is less. We build a credit during the summer months, but in the winter, we need to use it. Sometimes in the winter months we have to pay a bill because we've run out of credit. The only thing is I didn't pay attention to the contract and didn't realize that I have to pay this for as long as I'm in my house. That would be my one complaint.

A man from Sunrun came to my door and convinced me to listen to him. Getting solar energy seemed like a good idea all the way around and I signed up. During the installation it was a horrible day for them. It was windy, cold and raining. But they were very efficient and got the installation done in no time. Having Sunrun, I have a consistent bill every month, and I know that I can count on that bill. I don't have to guess what I'm gonna end up paying. That's a convenience. In spite of using more electricity this year than last year, I still only paid $19 a month and some change, in addition to the $43 for the lease. I'm happy with that and I'm happy with the product so far.

I had been considering solar energy for some time. Then one day, going through a trade show, I asked them to come by and at least give me a quote. They did come and we went through all the different options and talked to different companies. Sunrun was the company that offered the agreement. And ultimately, I felt it was the better way to go, because my electric bills were north of 500 a month.
The power purchase agreement is the best thing in the world because you don't have to put any money down. You're basically leasing them for 25 years. But the price of leasing is half of what my electric bill was three years ago. So, it was well worth it. It's a bigger house and I have not had a bill since.
I put a second solar system on one of my rental properties and just went to Sunrun directly. However, it doesn’t cover 100% of the tenants' expenses so I asked about upgrading the system. It took me a year and a half to get a response, only to be told Rhode Island doesn't allow a modification to the system, which I don't know if that's true or not. They are slow to respond and the staff must turn over constantly because I never seem to talk to the same person twice. Even when I have the direct number, it's frequently disconnected the next time I call.
But as a whole, my experience with Sunrun was very good and I would highly recommend it.

Sunrun is easy to work with. We've had great dealings with them. Getting the panels installed was fairly quick. The power bill is a lot cheaper since we went solar. Four months after we installed, we called them because we noticed a bunch of pigeon droppings all over the patio. They were out the next day with a drone that went up there and they found a little hole where the pigeons were getting in and they had that fixed within two days. They're on top of everything. We've had zero issues with this company.

Sunrun exceeded my expectations. When they did the survey, they put the panels where they felt that they would get the most energy. In between the time that they did the survey and the time that they came out to do the installation, my neighbor's tree had lost a large portion. They moved nine panels from the north side to the south side, and did all the engineering right there on the site and changed the installation, which upped my production considerably.
My energy bill is stabilized. I don't have to pay during the summer a couple of hundred dollars a month. During the wintertime, it's even less. It pays my energy bill. I just wish that the government would leave their paws off of solar. They seem to stack the deck against people here in California. "We want green energy," but they make it almost impossible for people to invest in it. They keep changing the net agreement.

The cost of electricity in Marin County through PG&E is excessive and I needed some way to mitigate the cost of living. I added solar, and I have no regrets about choosing Sunrun as my alternative electricity provider. The panels seem to be very efficient. Sunrun sent out a crew, and they did the whole system fairly quickly. The only problem was PG&E, the city and the county getting an inspector out here to approve the installation. When they came, they approved it in their first term. Overall, the system is cheaper than just using PG&E as my sole provider for electricity. Based on people’s location and energy use, they should consider using Sunrun.

I told Sunrun I wanted black frame panels and they did not give me that. The HOA was very upset and almost had it taken off the roof. They let me keep it because there's a tree in front of my house. The installation was mixed up, too. Sunrun wanted to put 36 panels on my roof. Since I was paying it outright, I wanted 30, which delayed things by three months. It would have been more money for them. I'm the only person in this house. It just didn't make sense.
My energy bills are very low except for the months of February, March, and April because I use up all my credits. So last year, I got a bill for $600 for a month and then I had 400, and then I had 300, and then it went down to $30 a month. It equals out, but that was very surprising to me. Sunrun is a great company and except for the initial issue, the whole experience was comfortable.

We had been thinking about solar for a while. My husband had one of the first solar houses in the area years ago, and we were interested in it, but we needed to replace our roof before it happened. When we replaced the roof, there were several companies that went door-to-door and asked if we were interested in solar. We happened upon this one gentleman who hit us at the right time, and he was a rep from Sunrun. He gave a better pitch than some of the other ones we heard.
While we weren't in the market to purchase, we decided to rent. It was all done based on what our energy needs were. Sunrun looked at our last two years of electric bills and looked at what we needed. Sunrun came out and measured sun direction. It was very scientific. They came up with a number of panels. After the summer was over, we had close to $1,000 of credits. We're working our way through those because we don't have as much electricity being generated. We're in the winter. But the experience itself has been very positive. I haven't paid an electric bill in close to two years. My sister contacted our salesperson when they were in the market, and they're Sunrun's customers now.

I've heard that Duke Energy doubled their prices in the past couple of years. They've been jumping 18% every 6 months or so before that, so I'm glad I switched to solar with Sunrun because I can't afford that. I told the installers to put some extra panels because I didn't wanna owe anything to Duke Energy. But they turned around and got the government to let them collect $30 a month from everybody who has solar panels. I have to pay the $30 I save to stay on the grid. I still have to pay $33.88 every month to Duke Energy. And if I need any power, they don't take it out of there. I said all the excess, because it was $12.50 when you were residential with the power, but you go solar and it's $30. I asked, “How about the overage? Is that put up towards that when I need electricity?” They said no.
I had the system for a year and I didn't have kilowatts created for three months. I don't know if the battery died or two panels went berserk. That ate up all the money I put into the grid and it cost me a few hundred dollars of power because of that. It was $172 which should have been a couple of hundreds worth for my power bills I've had with Duke Energy, and I had to pay the $114.70 a month for the panels besides. There's no way of my knowing that there was a problem because all the law is to not touch the controls. Duke Energy has that backup. Duke Energy controls you too, even though you are on solar panels. You pay for them, but you have almost no rights. It's the weirdest thing. But I've done well switching.

Sunrun had an offer where I could get two Tesla batteries on a lease, and I did that, though age-wise, it wasn't the smartest thing for me to do. The solar system has saved me a lot of money, but it costs me money each month as well. And I haven't had any solar generation for a month until yesterday. I have a Tesla app that shows what I produce daily and how my batteries charge. I run Tesla batteries all night and never pull off the grid. My electrical bill went down to nothing most of the time. But PG&E now pays about eight cents on the dollar from what you get versus what they charge you.
It’s important to get batteries if you are going to get solar. If not, you're sending the electricity for eight cents on the dollar all day long, and then charging all night long because you don't have any backup. My two Tesla batteries power my house all summer long. The only time I use electricity is when it’s raining, cloudy or overcast. The only way solar is worth it is if you have battery backup. When the power goes out, the system is seamless when it flips over. I don't even know I have an outage until I get a text from PG&E saying there's one. My lights are still lit at night, even though over half the house just has solar.

I have a no-solicitation sign on my door, and I was getting visits from reps checking on the system. But other than that, everything is nice. I can run my air conditioner all summer long and I don't have to worry about a bill, which is a big thing since I’m going through a pre-menopausal stage. Sunrun is a good investment and even if people can’t afford to get it, they can afford to rent it.

I've been interested in solar for a while, but it was not cost-effective. Sunrun came around with their canvassing to the neighborhood and offered a deal that made it borderline, at the time, as being cost-effective. And with the increasing cost of electricity and our use of electrical devices or transportation, I thought it would be a good move.
The communication initially with signing up was very easy. The only disadvantage I had was Sunrun's database did not reflect that we were already a Sunrun customer. So, for over a year, we kept getting people at the door saying, "We'd like to give you solar." Other than that, the communications with Sunrun have always been good. Anytime I've voiced a concern, I've always been easily able to get ahold of them and have been responded back to within a day. They usually find problems before I do now, which is unusual and very pleasing to me.
When we told the engineer with Sunrun what our usage was and what we projected in the future, he came up with how many panels. We requested that he add some, and they did. The installation process was good. The guys came in with all the number of people they needed. They were up on the roof and set the panels in place and down with hardly any notice. They picked up all the junk. They hauled away all the extras. Nothing was put in our trash containers. They took it with them. They were courteous and they answered all the questions.
Everyone who has come out to the house when they've needed to make software updates and hardware repairs have been very courteous, on time, and answered any questions I had. They've been great people. Sunrun has reduced our energy bills for electricity. That in itself, with our limited income, is great. It's good that it's one less thing to worry about.
Thanks for your review, Jacqueline! We're so happy to hear that you're saving money with solar. Our goal is to make solar an easy and enjoyable experience for you, and we're delighted that you're part of the Sunrun family. Thank you for helping us create a planet run by the sun!

I got very concerned about electricity cost. So, I looked for a more reliable source without the cost going up every month. Sunrun does go up every year, but there's a limit to how much it can go up. We got 34 panels. The installation took so long, it was unbelievable. I was told the installation would be quick, but it wasn't. Sunrun kept saying the parts were not available because it was a ground mount. It took 10 months in total from signing the contract.
The system has been performing okay. I wish I had more solar panels, but I'm happy with what I have. I'm getting concerned about the cost of it going up, and I don't know how far this is gonna go before there has to be a limit cost of solar compared to cost of electric. I wish there was more sun, and I wish there was an option with Sunrun to have a battery backup.
I did have an issue with loss of solar. My equipment installation was faulty, and there were some cables that were loose, and APS shut me down. I didn't realize until I checked, and I have not been producing electricity. I found out after contacting Sunrun that my power was switched off for safety reasons. Also, I was told the equipment would be American. It's not. But that's okay. My electricity cost from my supplier is not as much in the summer now. I can get a credit on a good month. And I love the app. It shows me everything I need to know.

I was wary of Sunrun due to the mountain of bad online reviews I have seen about the company. I signed up anyway and have had a ridiculous experience. the process for solar installation is very complex and requires the county, HELCO and Sunrun to coordinate. No one explains anything that is happening or about to happen; random Sunrun people show up at my house to do things that are already done and there is zero assistance from SUNRUN. I am deeply regretting having signed up with this circus.

We went through that freeze a couple of years back when we had no power for three days. Sunrun did an assessment on the home as far as how much power we'd have if the power were off and how much battery power we needed. We got three batteries that hold power. So if the power went off, we'd still have power. The power had gone off in the neighborhood. That was close. Sunrun asked if we had power and we said yes. It was a time when the power went off, but we didn't even notice it. The battery took over supplying power to the home.
The app on the phone shows X amount of hours. For example, I have 15 hours. If the power was off, I have 15 hours of backup. As long as the sun continues to keep power to the batteries, will they last if the power went off for that situation where we had three days with no power? Also, a lot of people can't afford the monthly payment. Our budget was tight. We pay between 450 and 500 a month on average having Sunrun and the electric service. But when we had the panels first put on the home, I had shared we were happy about having them.
Thanks for your review, Brian! We're so happy to hear that you had a good experience with us! We're sure that you have enough decisions to think about, and it's our goal to make going solar an easy choice. Thank you for helping us create a planet run by the sun!
