    My experience with Sunrun was very good but there were a couple of issues with installation. I got a battery along with the panels and they put the battery in the wrong location when I was not here. Other than that, my interactions with customer service have been positive.

    The experience with Sunrun seems positive. In the beginning, I couldn't get ahold of anybody. I had to go directly to Costco to get ahold of somebody to find out what was going on and where everything was at. Once Costco got involved, everything seemed to start working well. The installation went very well and all were on schedule. I looked into going solar because of how much electricity I use and with all the rising costs and since I had it installed, I've noticed a lower monthly bill.

    When my power went out, I wasn't told that my battery wouldn't last the longevity of the blackout. It was three days. So it has limited amount of power. Whatever is in the box is all we have to use. But I thought it would go ahead and rejuvenate itself every day. I thought I didn't have to have a compressor or something for power but now, I figured that I really do. The customer service was horrible. I was my own project manager for the whole thing.

    I bought a house and this company took my signature and put me in a 25 years contract without my knowledge. They make me sign a "transfer contract" so that they can provide me with the information of the prior owner. The old house owner didn't know he was in a contract, his realtor didn't know he was in a contract, the title company didn't know he was in a contract. I gave them a couple of days to work a deal so that I can keep the solar panels and they keep saying that is only for "new customer", I am a NEW CUSTOMER.

    This company deserves ZERO stars. I have been trying to reach someone regarding removal of the panels so that my roofer can install a new roof. NO ONE has called or emailed me back despite multiple attempts (more than 10 times) to get this service scheduled. This has been going on for several weeks. I have NEVER experienced such POOR customer service in my life. Sunrun apparently just wants to collect its monthly fees and is absolutely not interested in providing any customer services whatsoever. It is obvious that money and profits are the only thing Sunrun cares about. It is mind blowing how little they regard they hold for their customers.

    It is equally stunning how such a pathetic company was able to become the country's largest residential solar company. I'm certain there are many third-world companies worldwide that are providing infinitely better service than Sunrun. NO ONE COULD POSSIBLY BE WORSE. There is a very good reason why Sunrun consistently gets abysmal ratings on multiple consumer rating sites. Any 5-star reviews are highly suspect and are likely posted by company employees. I am completely regretting ever having heard of Sunrun and urge anyone considering signing up for Sunrun to AVOID SUNRUN LIKE THE PLAGUE. You'll thank me later. Trust me.

    The SunRun system was already installed when we bought the property, and it has only gone downhill since. The transfer process took over two years and was fraught with constant issues that remain unresolved. We received a response 16 months after opening a ticket about our incorrectly set up transfer account. The system frequently goes down; the longest outage lasted over three months during summer. It took two months to get a $50 part and another month to find someone to install it.

    The billing is a nightmare, especially since the company SunRun used to handle billing with the Public Utility is no longer in business. This forces us to navigate between SunRun and the Electric Company without any proper customer service support. SunRun lacks a competent customer service team. They only have salespeople and under-trained overseas staff who lack the tools to resolve even the simplest issues. Overall, our experience with SunRun has been extremely frustrating and disappointing.

    Our experience with Sunrun has been a nightmare. They have made promises that they could not keep. We installed our system in September of 2023 and until this day the system is not properly working and our power bill has only gone up rather than down. On top of our bill going up we have to pay Sunrun a monthly bill for a system that does not work. They have scheduled us several times to come fix the issue and then cancel our appointments and then prolong the issue. I got fed up and asked to cancel their contract because they weren't meeting their end of the bargain and was told there is nothing they can do for me and that I'm on a 20-year contract so I basically have to just keep paying them even though the system isn't working.

    I have a good experience with Sunrun. We used to pay a lot on electric. We have quite a bit of panels in our house, so it seems to consume plenty of electricity, and we have a credit with our national grid. So, that's really good. The only thing is I really wish we would be able to get reimbursement on the credit that we're building up with National Grid because otherwise, the money just sits there and nobody gets it back. It would be nice if we could use the credit to pay towards our monthly bill, but I don't think they do that either. Other than that, I've never had an issue with Sunrun at all. I'm glad we went with it and it seems to be a very good benefit to us.

    The representative came to the door and he was a polite, young man. So we decided to look into Sunrun and liked what we saw. Signing up was very simple and he did most of the work so it was easy for us. I liked the service. He explained it all and it literally happened as he said. The roof was checked for the panels and found to be okay. And it was go time. The installation went smoothly and the men were efficient.

    We get a bill once a month from PG&E and we got some $10 charges somewhere along the line, but most of the time it's zero. So it seems to be covering our needs, which is the main thing. We have 18 panels and it was based on how many kilowatts Sunrun thought we needed. We've never paid a bill and we pay the monthly fee. But considering that our summer bill was high, we're happy. It was $400 a month. I tried to tell a neighbor about Sunrun but at the time he came here, he saw an extra line running through a caravan and he didn’t want anything to do with that. Eventually, they took it out and got some solar. But I doubt if they got Sunrun.

    AVOID SUNRUN AT ALL COSTS. SHODDY WORK WITH POOR MATERIALS. I inherited a leased system when I bought a house. Complete disaster. 5 year warranty over (although I'm committed for 20 years.. go figure), and roof leaking everywhere. Major damage. Roofer said multiple penetrations missed the mark. Panels need to come off, railing system needs to come off, roof replaced, panels and raling need to be replaced. $$$. So I have to now pay Sunrun $200 a panel (51 panels) to remove them, then pay for new roof, then obligated to put the same damn panels on brand new roof, with same shoddy poor work, probably causing the same issue. Criminals. STAY AWAY.

    Everything was going according to the plan during the installation. The initial plan included a storage battery to be installed to store the excess electrical power generated. Later, I learned from Sunrun that they're not gonna be able to install a battery because they cited that the city that we live in doesn't allow installing batteries indoors. So, the storage batteries needed to be installed outdoors. But there was no space in the area where Sunrun wanted to install the battery so they just scrapped the storage batteries. I went along with that, believing that that was the case.

    On the other hand, a number of my neighbors have also installed solar panels and they have their batteries stored in a garage. How other companies could install batteries inside the garage in my neighborhood and Sunrun could not is something that still is a question for me. When they said that the city is not allowing installing batteries inside the garage, I took that. This may make sense because it may be a safety issue. Maybe it's a fire issue because battery is something loaded with all kinds of energy storage and sometimes, batteries can heat up and explode and be a higher fire hazard. Maybe that is the case. And I was making up reasons to convince myself that what Sunrun is telling me is making sense.

    But as I saw the others installing batteries inside their garages, I thought about how sincere Sunrun’s feedback was and how solid the reasoning for that was. You can be cynical and say that at that time, Sunrun did not have enough batteries in their stock and they just wanted to just weasel out. Or installing a battery did not make financial sense to someone at that point. And therefore, they just moved my project forward by giving me a bunch of mumbo jumbo. Maybe someday, somebody will help me understand that.

    The price of the batteries was approximately $10,000. The cost of everything is going up and will keep going up. Maybe the competition will drive the cost of the battery down. But on the other hand, with all the EVs and the additional need for storage of electrical power, it's very likely that the cost of the battery will go up rather than down. So, even if Sunrun comes back to me and says they’re ready to put a battery inside our garage, I'm gonna be paying a high price for that because of the cost difference between 2023 and hypothetically 2025.

    We just have the panels and it's connected to the network and they don't pay a lot for that. So, we are producing energy and sending it to the network for a lower price. And we're getting them for a higher price from the network. We have no storage capacity so, we're at their mercy. When you have storage, it will reduce the dependence on the higher-cost electrical power that you're receiving from them. But overall, Sunrun did well. The product is great and everything seems to be functioning well. I hope it will be functioning the same in the future, at least for some time. I have the app and I don't do that regularly but once in a while, I go to it. In Southern California, we have months of May and June overcast. So, we don't have a whole lot of sunshine until later on in the day, and that piqued my curiosity to see if the system is producing or not. I go to it and when I do, I see how much we're producing, which is good and it is all I need.

But sometimes, when I call to get information, one person will be able to give me so much information but then, I can't figure out what another person is trying to tell me. If I ask about something happening with my system, it's not clear enough for me.

    We have things set up online to track what we're producing. If something is going on, I would normally call and the reps will explain if I don't understand. The bill comes at a certain amount every month. So, once it comes like that, I know that we're producing. If I see a variation, I'll call them and they'll explain and might ask how the weather is. They would bring all these factors. While I'm looking on my end, they will be looking on their end. And if there's a problem, they'll let me know.

    Something's going on now. I don't know if my solar panels are working now or not. I haven't had the time to get out there and check but my electric bill is getting crazy. It says it's going up. But to be going up at that rate when it's just only two of us in the house, my panels aren't working. I've sent an email asking Sunrun. Some guy responded and it seems like general information that he sent me on how it works. He didn't answer my question. My gas and electric bill is quadrupling and I'm getting a notice that I'm using more than what I have been using. I'm up 84%, which does not make sense to me.

    Before, I loved Sunrun. I know what my payments are gonna be. It's locked in for the next 25 years. But now, I don't feel comfortable saying that without somebody coming out or something happening. I like knowing what my monthly rate's gonna be and at the end of the year, I always have my true-up. There was always a $700 balance and now, I'm getting billed $700. Something is not right. I'll reach out to Sunrun and talk to somebody because they kept trying to get me to get more panels. I didn't need them at the time and because I wasn't using anything. I always had extra energy left over and now, something shady is going on or a panel has been disconnected.

    Listen Sunrun is ok, but their customer service has been awful. I am not sure who they switched from but when we originally bought our house I dealt with a nice lady from the states who had everything ready for transfer by the time the house was in our name. Now that we sold our house 4 years later it has become terrible customer service. Both realtors have said the same thing from fumbling the transfer initiation to correctly and effectively communicating to everyone. Now a month later I am getting charged again with a $7.50 charge because I stopped autopay thinking everything was done. It has been headache after headache from sunrun because of their customer care.

    I've been with Surun for the past 2 years, to start I was promised that my electrical bill would go down to $100 monthly, besides the $109 that I was going to be paying for Sunrun. Which was a lie, I never got any discount for anything on my electrical bill. And I come to find last month that they never did the interconnect with Eversource. I'm feeling like a fool. I paid Sunrun extra $109 for two years for nothing, also, paid my full electrical bill. I do not recommend Sunrun. If you look up about them, they have a lot of bad reviews. I did not know about it when I signed with them. I'm going to a legal team to get my rights.

Occasionally, I log on just to see what the production is, and it's easy to access. We've had the system for about a year and a half now, and at the end of the first full cycle, we had a true-up bill of $180. The system produced almost the entire amount of power that we used.

    Sunrun’s reps rang the bell and explained things. But there are a lot of things that I signed for that they didn't point out to me until after the fact. First, they told me it was free. Then they turned around and I had to pay $83 every month. They never told me that after 25 years, I have to pay for the whole panel in full. And I didn't like that. I had to call the young lady to ask her on how I pay for this after. I'm paying $83 and I figured that was going towards the panel but it wasn't. I would recommend Sunrun to the extent that they have to let people know that. It's like a mortgage. The only thing I found is my light bill went down.

    We had Sunrun solar panels installed on two of our roofs in 2016. There have been many roof leaks. Three times Sunrun came out to repair leaks without success. The fourth time they had a roofer reshingle the roof adding a snow and ice barrier under the shingles. Still that roof has at least three leaks and now we discover the other roof has at least one leak with black mold growing. We have no confidence that the fifth repair will be a charm. We want them to remove their panels from the roofs and void the lease purchase contract but they are refusing so far.

    Updated on 12/23/2024: UPDATE: they installed 1 month after above review. It's now ***SEVEN*** months later and the work has failed ***THREE*** inspections.

    Original Review: I needed to expand my PV system and we signed a contract. After the site inspection, they wanted to put the inverter on my front wall (contrary to what we said at inspection). Then they said the whole house battery was too old (installed after the first Sunrun PV system). Then they said they won't install a second PV system with a competitor's battery installed. Then they said my first PV lease was in breach due to my house having a competitor's battery. That's one star right there, but with all the delays my NEM-2 validated expansion would get NEM-3 now with another installer. Even DIY. They refuse unless I pay them a $7,800 breach-of-contract fee. There is no -- *NO* -- breach. The battery and the old PV are installed in parallel. No modification. No tampering. No breach.

    3/25/24- I have been a customer since 2019, and from install to this day, I am still paying over $2000-3000/yr to Edison for power. This is due to Sunrun designing my system incorrectly (admittedly), under-producing, and they refuse to resolve the issue. I have made several complaints, phone call, emails, chats and have opened cases (**, **, etc.), and others but they have fallen off the website now. All they offer is to install more panels, at my expense of an additional $10,000, to solve the admitted under-production design issue. We have had countless Sunrun representatives to our home, with no resolution, only a sales pitch, as described above. I currently have a Yellow "Fault" light on, Red "communication" light on, and the Power Production light is OFF. I chatted with the company online and was told that there was not a problem, and they would not schedule a service.

    I chatted with a second agent and was finally able to get a proposed appointment scheduled (we'll see). It always takes multiple attempts to get any type of help. I have also had panel issues and a failed inverter during all of this. I want my under-production issue to be resolved. I paid (in full now) $37,000 to still have to pay Edison $2000-3000/yr forever. This is absolutely unacceptable business practice. Also, we have not added any additional items in our home since the install. No additional TVs, accessories, fridges, etc. In fact, we now limit our appliance use and limit AC usage because of our continued Edison bill. P.S. My best friend across the street, with the exact same house and floor plan, with Sunrun's system, consistently has CREDIT with Edison to spare. I want this resolved. 4/5/24 – Battery has faulted out and needs to be replaced. Technician told me only a few days, it is pretty common and can replace quickly.

    4/22/24 – Escalation Email response from SunRun rep: ” Dear Chris, I sincerely apologize for the delay in my response. I understand your frustration, and I sympathize with the current situation at hand. It is important to note that you have saved $2,533.75 on utility payments; without your solar panels, you would have paid $4,412.97. Additionally, I have duly noted that your system is now paid off in full. To address the inconvenience you have experienced, I am happy to facilitate a complimentary healthy system inspection and waive the associated costs. Furthermore, as a one-time gesture of goodwill, I would like to offer you a $250 check. Please let me know if you would like to accept this offer."

    ---- I declined this offer, as it is a payoff attempt to close the case and not repair my system. 4/29/24 – Battery has not been addressed/replaced yet. Now have been told it will be 8 weeks for approval and replacement. SunRun has not further addressed my unproduction concerns.

    The service with Sunrun initially was very stop and go. Nothing got scheduled because they changed project managers three times so it took about four and a half months to finally get everything installed. Then, it took another month to get everything turned on. We had an issue with a leak in the ceiling through the roof and it took almost a year to get that fixed. Overall, the solar panels are working well while they're running, but we lost a whole month of service because we were waiting on them to fix things.

    Most months, we're not paying electricity and we're just paying the gas bill. Winter months, we usually have a small bill for electricity and a larger gas bill. On summer months, it offsets about 80% of what it would cost otherwise. We had batteries installed so I can track what I’m producing through the app associated with the batteries. On the whole, we've achieved the service that we pursued from the beginning. We've had some obstacles along the way. Unfortunately, that's not unique to Sunrun. That happens in a lot of different industries. Every solar industry is only as good as their local assets. If the infrastructure where you live exists and Sunrun is a player, then it's a good idea.

    The Sunrun salesperson, David, was a very nice individual. He was open and honest about everything that happened, the fact that he had used the company himself and was very happy with the product. He turned around and started working for them. He showed me his own bills. I took some time to look into the company because there were a lot of people running around Vegas still trying to do solar. I liked everything that the Sunrun people were offering as far as everything that was involved, including full roof inspection, and if there were areas that needed to be repaired, I was able to get that taken care of. It was a good experience. The installers were very good. Installing here in Vegas, especially around spring and summertime, is not enjoyable. It's extremely hot but they were able to get in here in April a couple of years ago, and they did an excellent job. The product has been working without a hitch since.

    As far as changes in our bills, it was almost immediate because my roof gets a lot of southern exposure from the sun, so we were able to take advantage of that. As long as there's not that many clouds in the sky but if it is, it's still able to produce some wattage. So there's only been three electric bills in the last two years that I've had to pay like $50. Mostly it's just a fee to keep the account open, which is 13. My original electric bills were never crazy outrageous. The highest we paid was close to $300 one summer during August, which would have been the worst of the months. But on average, I’m maybe $100 to $200 a month with my average bill. Going solar was cost effective because I got a 20-year loan but I could pay it off sooner and it's just a 2% rate. After the 20 years is up and I would have paid it off, the solar products are guaranteed after 30 years to still be 87% effective.

    Sunrun’s sales rep Kyle ** lied to my face! He assured me that if my roof is old Sunrun would replace it at no cost to me prior to the installation of solar panels. Based on this assurance, I signed a contract that same day. A couple of weeks later I received a report, stating that my roof is good. Now, only a few months later my roof is leaking! I have reports (with pictures and drone video) from 3 accredited roofing companies who clearly show that the roof has multiple cracks, missing and broken shingles, exposed roof nails, there are numerous spots with algae and moss, indicating that the shingles are letting water get through, etc. It is absolutely clear that the solar panels should never have been installed on a roof in such conditions.

    I have exchanged several dozen text messages, emails, and phone calls with Sunrun’s so-called “customer support” who are openly rude and unhelpful. After 3 weeks of daily messages on my part, a case was finally open. The case manager, Judith Jordan, had the audacity to tell me that there is no leak in my home! Even though I have proof to the contrary from 3 roofing companies!

    Now Sunrun wants to charge me to remove the solar panels; panels, which should not have been installed in the first place! I have spoken with several other families in the neighborhood, who have signed with Sunrun, and they all confirm that the same has happened with them – the sales representatives would offer to replace the roof and even cut down nearby trees to maximize access to sunlight, but once the contracts were signed, none of this has been done. This is a clearly established pattern of misrepresenting their services.

    Additionally, Sunrun ignores/doesn’t warn the property owner of the poor condition of the roof, because later, when damages occur, Sunrun can charge the house owner extra for removing and reinstalling the panels. This is not simply negligence but an intention to defraud! Frankly, it borders on extortion! I am filing complaints with the county and state division of consumer affairs, and with the BBB. Sunrun’s dishonest and predatory practices, and abusive behavior to their customers should not be allowed to continue!

    BUYER BEWARE!!! I am writing to formally complain about Sunrun Inc.'s unethical sales practices regarding installing and operating solar panels at my residence. In 2019, we entered into an agreement with Sunrun to install a 15-panel solar system on our home's roof. The monthly payments quoted were going to be $87 + an average of $50 to APS. Due to negligence from SunRun’s third-party company to thoroughly inspect the electric panel and salesperson not asking the appropriate installation questions our city did not approve SunRun to turn on the panels. We have worked with SunRun for almost three years to get the proper permit from the city to be able to turn on the panels.

    When we tried to resolve this with Sunrun, they dismissed my concerns, claiming they tried to do everything they could to get the city’s approval, but so far, the panels have remained on my roof. We have been dealing with multiple people from Timothy ** to Justin (SunRun refused to disclose his last name), Marcus, and many customer service representatives that just keep giving us the runaround. When asked for a manager or VP who we can talk to or email they stated SunRun does not disclose their upper management information. After two years of only been able to TEXT Justin we requested SunRun to remove the panels and repair or replace my roof, for breach of contract, they assigned Lauren from “at risk case” dept to contact us to try to resolve this matter. Lauren stated the notes in their system states We REFUSE TO COOPERATE with SunRun to get the appropriate permit.

    We told Lauren how we can refuse if we do not even know what permit the city is requesting as that is not our job to know. Lauren stated she was just calling to let us know we remain bound to the solar panel contract and if we want them removed it is a breach of contract, and we are responsible for the payment. This conduct is not only deceptive but also financially exploitative, especially given is not our responsibility or job to know what paperwork/ permit the city requested. The financial impact of Sunrun's actions is significant. Sunrun failed to fulfill its obligations under the initial agreement and engaged in deceptive sales practices by denying any wrongdoing instead of addressing the underlying issue of zero power delivery. Such conduct is unacceptable and warrants immediate investigation and remediation. If anyone here can help us seek legal action, please put it in the comments.

Carolyn took care of all the paperwork, took pictures of work in progress and checked in with me often to keep me up to date on the project. I would recommend using Sunrun for your solar needs.

    I've received 23 straight APS Bills on top of my $240 Sunrun Bill for a system that was built at 35% more than what I supposedly used in previous yr. I've upgraded all the windows in my home, Pool Pump, AC, Lights, Washer/Dryer all to Energy Efficient and system is still not producing to what I was sold. Reached out multiple times and all I get is it's working as it should, a Rep came out once and wanted me to purchase additional panels. If I could go back I'd never get Solar - I'm at the point I'm going to let it hit my Credit as I'm done paying $400-$500 a month for electric.

    I would not recommend a solar system from Sunrun to anyone, unless you enjoy the thrill of constant water damage and unending frustration. From the moment I inherited the lease for the Sunrun solar panels with my home purchase in March of 2020, it has been a downhill journey of disappointment and regret. While the first few years might have seemed tolerable, the true colors of Sunrun's incompetence revealed themselves when the heavens decided to open up, and my roof turned into a sieve.

    Imagine my dismay when I discovered water cascading into my office from the vent above my desk during a particularly rainy season. Naturally, I sought professional help, only to be met with the stark reality that the issue lay squarely with the botched installation of the Sunrun solar panels. Despite the roofer's assessment and the obvious signs pointing to Sunrun's workmanship, the company's response was nothing short of a slap in the face.

    Upon contacting Sunrun for assistance, I was met with a wall of excuses and deflections. Apparently, the warranty on the roof magically evaporated into thin air the moment I signed the transfer agreement. Convenient, isn't it? When pressed for any documentation or communication from the previous owner regarding the persistent leak, I was met with blank stares and claims of non-existence. It's almost as if Sunrun expects us to believe that their responsibility vanishes into oblivion along with any trace of accountability.

    To add insult to injury, obtaining a quote for the removal of the panels felt like extracting teeth. Three agonizing weeks passed before Sunrun deigned to grace me with a figure, a figure so exorbitant it bordered on the absurd. And if that wasn't enough, they had the audacity to demand a minimum 30-day notice for removal, as if my life isn't already inundated with deadlines and headaches caused by their incompetence.

    In conclusion, if you cherish your sanity, your home, and your hard-earned money, steer clear of Sunrun like the plague. Their disregard for customer satisfaction, their lack of accountability, and their penchant for incompetence make them a hazard to any homeowner foolish enough to entrust them with their solar needs. Save yourself the headache, and invest in a company that values integrity and craftsmanship, because Sunrun certainly doesn't.

    Sunrun contacted me in say May, and the whole thing wasn't done until January. So, it took quite a while to get things done. My first contact there needed to take a medical leave, so the ball kinda got dropped. For about two months, I wasn't sure what was going on. They weren't calling me and returning my calls. It turned out that the first guy was on leave, and they hadn't assigned it. Once they got it assigned to somebody else, things went well.

    There were some surprise costs that I didn't anticipate. I had to do some work on my roof because it wasn't up to the code for the solar panels, but I understand that happens. I had to redo part of my roof because it wasn't good enough to support the panels. We wanted to have enough panels that I wouldn't be paying anything out of pocket for electricity. So, we fudged it on the side of like it generating more than I used. The results have been fine. Sunrun has been responsible. To some extent, you gotta deal with Sunrun and you gotta also deal with your utility, which is LADWP. So at one point, Sunrun would be done, but LADWP wasn't ready. Then it took them about a month to certify it. I understand everybody has those issues. I haven't talked to anybody that didn't have those issues.

    Then my meter went bad in January of '23 and for about a month, DWP couldn't tell how much I was generating. That was actually on them. Other than that, they've been very responsive. There's been a couple of times where I had issues. When I called them, I got through to them right away. They do send people out really quickly. Initially, I wasn't very happy with them because it seemed like they had forgotten about me but once they got that part fixed up, it was okay. And since then, everything's been okay.

    I don't pay anything for electricity. There's a bank of money that goes up every month where I'm generating more electricity than I'm using. And even though I don't get cash for that, that would count against any month where if I somehow used more electricity than I generated. So if it was a really cloudy month, I would have a bank against that. I haven't had any problem with outages. I do have a backup battery, but I haven't had enough power outages just to even know how that works. Sunrun is a good company to work with. They're a big company and they're located out of state, but they're still responsive. They deal with local contractors for the installation. The biggest issue with solar is just the rules with the California Public Utilities Commission. They keep changing. So, you do have to do your due diligence. The rules today are not the same as the rules when I bought my system.

    Sunrun was on our house when we bought it. I canceled it because I wasn't happy. But when I found out it was Sunrun, I put the deal back again. It was Sunrun that saved the deal. Part of the deal was the previous owner told me she had $22,000 she owed on it. I told her she'd pay half of it, and I'd pay half to pay it off. Everybody agreed. Now, my bills every other year are zero and every other year, they're $3.25.

    Right before I came in, the owner had told us that they were sending someone out because a squirrel is chewing at the wires. They came right out and fixed it. When we bought the house, we made a deal with Sunrun one time on, one time off. First, putting the roof on. They worked with my roofer. It was done in a few days and it was perfect.

    Sunrun explained everything and didn't pester me. I asked, “How could you put it up for free?” They said, “It goes with the house so if you sell the house, we need to get permission from the next owner.” The installation took forever and a day because San Diego Gas & Electric was taking their time. It took them six months to get it hooked up. But it was nothing that Sunrun was holding up ‘cause they came to put those panels up lickety-split. Within a week they were up.

    I had my own panel, and they removed it and put a bigger one. I don't have a problem in any part of the house except the kitchen. I can't use the toaster and the coffee pot. I can't use the crock pot and the microwave. I have my crock pot set up in another room or all the power goes out in the kitchen and dining room if I do. I never had that problem prior.

    I am not happy with Sunrun. They were not upfront. When I asked the salesman how much it would cost to have some solar panels put up on my house, he told me there was nothing. We got them up on the roof and did a lot of paperwork. He never offered me to look at the contract. My son went through the contract and said, "You know you signed up for 25-year contract and if somebody buys the house, they've got to accept the contract with the house." I didn't know all this and that was very upsetting.

    The salesman should've given me the contract and told me to read through it instead of having me sign all the papers. I'm 84 years old and don't owe anybody 10 cents. Why would I sign up for a 25-year contract and pay $102 a month? I contacted Sunrun about it they did not offer any help at all. If there was any way out of it, I would go ahead and get rid of the solar panels and make do with the Edison bill. We immediately got a $2,000 bill from Edison, which I didn't understand. I had them turn that into payments instead of a one-time bill.

    The solar part has been great. The only negative part is that Sunrun uses contractors to do the installations. Sunrun had somebody come out to mark where the ground should go on the side of the house but they didn't know what it really meant. They mounted the ground in the front of the house. So there's a visible ground wire running across the front of the house, and then they left a bunch of lag bolts on the roof that I had to go up on the roof and get. But Sunrun itself does awesome.

    During our first year, I had issues where the meter wasn't syncing. So we couldn't tell what we produced that day. But it seems to have been straightened out now. We only paid two bills last year and they were around 30 bucks and it was when California tried to rob everybody for the gas and tripled the price. But at the end of the year, we never got a check for the balance of what was there.

    Being first homeowners has been a very rewarding experience. Being a single income family of four we are always looking for ways to cut our expenses: I contacted Lukas from Sunrun. He told me "everything" and explained most details. It said it would be easier to talk in person so we made a time to meet. Verbally, He told me that the sun will produce energy, our bill would be at least cut in half or none at all because our house gets so much sun we will over produce. My husband and I were so excited that would help us out so much financially but "what was the catch?" My family did this to save money as everyone else wants to save money in their future. Lukas said that it didn't cost anything for the panels, if we look at our national grid bill we are actually paying toward it. He said if we under produce compared to the electricity that we were using, then we would have a minimal bill.

    My bill $5 less than last year. I received my bill concerned why the first 2 months were the exact same. I called sunrun, the representative explained to me that in my contract I have a set monthly amount and it goes up 3% every year. It has nothing to do with as much energy that I use Or don't use. It is a set amount now. That was not what was verbally said to me! Lukas blatantly lie and deceived us. He told us one thing when he knew it was something totally different. Dealing with sun run customer service was horrendous, professionally. The representative informed me to write a letter of complaint that this is not what was promised. My husband called and a representative opened a case for us. Ann our case manager left a message on my husband's cell phone, since the account is under his name, along with an email with her Direct line on 12.19.23. I emailed her back that day, I got a response of an automated message from sunrun customer service and they will be in contact with me.

    From then on I would reply to her email directly. I called her direct line and it always went straight to voicemail. I was unable to speak to anyone until 1.4.24. She told me to send any of proof that I have of what Lukas had said to me. He promised me a gift card of $250 (never received) along with all the details of how much money I would be saving! I sent what I had, but confirmed that most of what he said was verbal. I received a reply on 1.19.24. She informed me that the complaint was sent to the integrity team and she could give me a one time $300 credit for the difference in our monthly bill. Insinuating we using our electricity differently….She said once our system reaches a full year, they can initiate a Home Electricity Report where they will be requesting our 12 consecutive invoices from our utility provider and their Specialized agents will be working with me directly.

    I did not agree since that would put a band-aide on our current situation. She then closed the case. Why would I drill all 32 panels into my 3 year old roof to save five dollars, it doesn't make any sense. I am not using my electricity any different than I did a month ago. This is a clear case of bait switch. Their average response time to emails is 3 to 4 weeks. It takes weeks for them to respond to an email. So, in the end, the consumer gets taken advantage of, promised gift cards and substantial savings that doesn’t happen. It is true our house produces much energy, but that energy is stored and then sold to other consumers. If I had known that my savings would be five dollars per month. I never would have put panels on my three-year-old roof.

    The rep with Sunrun, Skye, explained everything thoroughly. It was very understandable. I had no mixed thoughts about it. Sometimes you get the runaround and explanations are hard to understand, but he spoke clearly. Normally, there's always a catch. But he was upfront and let me know that there was nothing of that sort, playing games to try to hook you into getting something that you're not interested in. The biggest thing that I liked was that there was no cost coming out of my pocket. It was hard to believe but he kept reassuring. The installers came in and put the panels up on the east side of the roof. They installed the panels close to the top of the roof. On the west side, they didn't install them at the top like the east side. They had lowered it and when I asked them, they said it was what they were told. I called Skye about it and they took care of it. They placed them up above. I was pleased with the process.

    Since the panels have been installed I've noticed some savings. In the summer months where it's hot and electricity is being used, I'm not paying $240 bill a month. But in the winter months, I've seen my bill go up a little high. I was using Christmas lights but even then in the wintertime when I'd used it when I didn't have solar, I didn't go up to $160. But at the same time, I don't know if the panels were producing a lot of power because there was a lot of overcast. I also had a friend talk to me where they have panels that can melt the ice off of the panel in the winter months. There were some times in the winter where it was nice and sunny outside, but my panels had ice on them. Maybe they were not producing anything 'cause they were covered. If Sunrun has panels that can melt the ice off the panel, that would be nice.

    I had to send Sunrun dragging their feet before we could turn the unit on and it was just a joke. But it all got worked out. We started out with 20 panels and it was fine for the first couple of years. All of a sudden we got hit with this huge bill from Edison and I was, "How is this possible? This is why we went solar." Edison tried to say that we pulled 7,000 kilowatts off their grid. So, I called the rep at Sunrun and she had me send the last 12 months of billing from Edison. She looked at it and said, "Yes. In fact, you did draw that much off there. But you have solar. You shouldn't be pulling that much off of them." I said, "There's the bill. Almost two grand. They're telling me we owe them." She got with the design team and they ended up coming out and putting up 12 additional panels for us, and the backup battery. Ever since we've had the additional 12 put in, last year and this year, we have received several hundred dollars back from Edison at the end of our year.

    The Sunrun reps are very professional and courteous. I gave them my information and they took it down, looked at the PG&E bill and calculated what I'd be using, then they proposed a system for me. I had original panels from Vivint Solar and Sunrun tried to match them up so I would have all the panels the same, but they were on backorder. They reached out to me and proposed another panel, which is just as good. They just wouldn't look the same. So, installation took a bit longer. Overall, it took about six months because of the backorder. Other than that, it was good. I'm very satisfied, and I like my experience.

    The panels have been on the roof since 2015, and I bought the house in November of ’22. Last fall, I had to have my kid go up and pull a plant growing in between the panels. But Sunrun is better. Everybody I dealt with was golden. I'm highly satisfied. I would like a little bit more out of the app though. Compared to what I had, I could see 100% live data of what I was producing at any given moment. I like to see what I'm producing and what I'm using. They had that comparable graph. Sunrun's more along the lines telling me how much I produce. Also, if I had known then what I know now, I definitely would have changed where the location of the panels are. I probably would have done a solar roof. I designed a tracking system. A buddy of mine used it, and it is fantastic. It's a panel that's out in the yard and it automatically follows the sun.

    I was at Costco one day, and a very nice gentleman said, "Would you like to have somebody come out, tell you what's up?" I said yes. A young man came out, and he was very nice but a little bit scattered and couldn't answer the questions I had. Eventually, somebody else contacted me. Finally, a manager from Sunrun contacted me and got it worked out. My installation happened early February of last year. They said they were gonna be here on a particular day, and they showed up and got everything done. The people that needed to do the review and licensing came out at exactly the times they said they would. They also flipped the switch exactly when they said they were gonna and I haven't had any problems since the switch was thrown.

    I've been producing electricity since last year, and I'm very happy with what I'm seeing because I do not like paying a utility bill. I was getting big credits all summer long as well. The good news is it was so nice to see me not having to pay what I had been paying Arizona Public Service. Somebody sent something out about what it would take to put a battery on so I could conserve as much of the energy as I can without having to give it back to APS. I need to figure out if there is some way to do that, but I don't know if APS has done something that doesn't allow us to do that or not.

    I have three roofs on my house and Sunrun did the whole two of them. They did an excellent job. Then Sunrun notified me that they weren't getting signals on my panels. They came by and took care of it. They caught it before I did. They put a booster on my Wi-Fi outside and after that, I had no problem. The weather doesn't affect it like it affects charging cars.

    I only paid a dollar to have this system installed. The nice thing about leasing it is they take care of the equipment. If anything goes wrong, they have to replace it and it doesn't cost me anything. If I happen to sell my house, I can sell the Sunrun part of it too. I'm not locked in or stuck with it. It could be transferred over to whoever buys the house. That was a nice feature that they told me. When I did this, my bill was 500 from Con Edison. With Sunrun, I saved a tremendous amount of money. It saved me a good $5,000 a year. It covers 78% of my bill. My Sunrun bill in the winter time is normally $75 to $85. In the summer time, when I have all my air conditioners on, it might go up to 200, 225 and my Con Edison bill is still 65.

    I've used Sunrun once for customer service, and they responded and took care of the problem. I'm very satisfied except for the last two months. I had gotten a high Con Edison bill. They sell my energy back to Con Edison if I don't use it all. They said that my bank was empty until the summer where we have more sun and I could sell more energy. Sunrun supplied me with about 7,000 kilowatts and Con Edison ended up supplying me with 1,000 kilowatts. That 1,000 kilowatts cost me 450 a month.

But when my husband passed away and I tried to get ahold of somebody to cancel his contract, I’d have been better off trying to pull teeth from a horse. He died December 28 and I moved out of the house January 29th. Then on the third week of February, I finally got them to cancel. I love solar but Sunrun is not the company to go with.

    Updated on 11/17/2025: Ongoing breach of Contract: Sunrun removed panels in 2023 and never restored my roof, causing damage and now risking my home sale. They acknowledged urgency, but have made no contact since 11/13/2025.

    Original Review: BUYER BEWARE!!! I am writing on behalf of my father to formally complain about Sunrun Inc.'s unethical sales practices regarding installing and operating solar panels at my father's residence. In 2019, my father entered into an agreement with Sunrun to install a 15-panel solar system on his home's roof. The monthly payments are $87 + an average of $50 to APS. Due to his recent hospitalization, I took over his financial affairs. Reviewing his bills, I discovered a troubling pattern of zero power delivery from August 2022 to January 2024. In May 2023, my father contacted Sunrun about his solar needs, unaware he was not receiving the power his panels produced. Instead of addressing the issue, Sunrun representatives convinced him to purchase a new seven-panel package for $51 per month.

    When I tried to resolve this with Sunrun, they dismissed my concerns, claiming they could do nothing, and insisted my father remain bound to the solar panel contract for another 21 and 25 years. This conduct is not only deceptive but also financially exploitative, especially given my father's age of 81. The financial impact of Sunrun's actions is significant. Before the new solar package, my father's monthly electric bill was $125. Now, with the new solar panels that were never needed, he pays $188 per month. Even with the additional panels, he still pays APS an average of $50. Sunrun failed to fulfill its obligations under the initial agreement and engaged in deceptive sales practices by upselling additional panels instead of addressing the underlying issue of zero power delivery. Such conduct is unacceptable and warrants immediate investigation and remediation.

If I were able to separate SunRun’s system from the service provided after the fact, by any and all SunRun operatives, (AKA customer care specialists) I would give the system itself and its capabilities 10 stars and the customer service aspect negative 5 stars. Sorry but that has been our experience to date. However we couldn’t be any more pleased than we are right now with SunRun's equipment. We are firm believers in doing anything we can possibly do to help our planet and everyone on it to survive and thrive. But If you care to learn more about the other aspects, and see details about why we are not able to tout SunRun’s customer service department, kindly reach out.

    We have had our Sunrun solar installation for 1.5 years. It took our electric provider almost 6 months after installation to get their act together so we’ve been benefiting from 90-96% of our electricity being delivered by our wonderful free sunshine for a little over a year. While we don’t quite cover our bills in the winter our rollover bank pays for them from summer overage. Sunrun was and is excellent to deal with. We’ve had no problems and feel both our sales rep and the technical support staff are way above average. However as I say this due to the smooth operation of the system. We’ve not had to turn to them very much. I would highly recommend them. While the cost seemed high we have been able to balance it somewhat by extremely low bills and the satisfaction that we are making the world a better place for our granddaughters.

    Sunrun missed to connect my water supply and sump pump electricity to the backup. The generator who took care of both was switched off by the SUNRUN technicians. Any complaints was ignored and the case is being pushed to the next person- who is very friendly but does not fix it. I had a water damage because my sump pump did not work in case of a heavy rain and power failure. I gave up.

    Otherwise, very friendly and solar works great. Same as battery from Tesla- which does work great. Since I have a large house, the batteries alone are not sufficient and the backup strategy includes the generator- especially for essentials like water pumps and sump pumps. I am surprised that a professional company who works with Costco is such a disaster in fixing an obvious problem.

    When I built my house, I had to buy solar panels and the builder was in a partnership Sunrun. I went to them, and when I bought my second set of panels for the same house, I was at Costco. Costco had a promotional deal with Sunrun, so I added more solar panels with Sunrun through Costco. Everything was great. There were no issues at any point in time at all, and installation was fast. It was sooner than I expected. Now, I'm happier because my bills are significantly lower. I'd tell people to go solar now before prices keep going up.

    The enrollment was all very easy. They came pretty quick and installed the system. The only issue that I have is it seems like the sales rep that I was dealing with gave me a lot of wrong information about things. He told me how many panels I was gonna need and that if I need more panels down the line, they could always add in stuff like that. Sure enough, I need a lot more panels because I still have a pretty high electricity bill. I still have to pay $1,500 to Edison at the end of the year, which is how it's been working out ever since I got the solar panels. Whatever I use extra from Edison that I don't use from the solar panels gets added up and at the end of the year, I gotta pay them. I called Sunrun to see if I could add them and they said they can't. But everything was fine besides that.

    I liked the sales rep from Sunrun. He seemed very friendly and easy to talk with. It’s his job to sell, but he was good. I had met with other people over the years but I never contracted with anybody. I wasn't ready to do it in general but with the electric prices going up, it made sense. So, what the rep said it would be, it has been. The guys took two days to do the installation of the panels and then, there was the connection to National Grid. It couldn’t have gone smoother. I recently used Sunrun’s customer service to inquire about something. They said they would respond in 24 hours, and they did. I was looking to see if they had a backup battery. They were offering it to new customers but I was curious to see if you could get a discounted price and buy one from them. But they said they didn't have any available at this time and when they did, they would contact me.

    I don't have any friends or neighbors that have solar electricity so, there's nobody to ask about it on my side that would be completely independent. But that doesn't bother me. I don't get an electric bill. I pay for the lease on the solar panels and I know what the increase in that is gonna be every year. I haven't ever seen another electric bill since we converted, so I have to be happy. But I have an app on my phone and the information about the system is readily available. They're giving you statistics of what you're saving by doing this and it all looks good.

    I had talked to different people over the years and I could just see how the industry was changing. So, things were getting a little more expensive when you waited. If I had gone a couple of years ago, it might’ve been cheaper, but I don't know what the deals would have been. So, it's hard to know for sure. But it can't hurt to check with other people. If people have friends that have it, certainly check with them. I know somebody recently in Holbrook started going solar and a couple of people threw some information out. So, I threw out Sunrun and mentioned how I've been happy with my experience. I'm willing to talk to people. It is just a scary place to go but you see it's coming fast.

    I've been very happy with Sunrun. The installation was very smooth. They sent a crew of people over who were on the roof for a few hours. They had everything hooked up. It was neat watching two guys up on the roof putting everything in place without falling off. They put pigeon guard around it so I don't have pigeon nests underneath it. There's been one time I had a problem, and they spotted that on their monitoring system. They came over and replaced it. They're very conscientious people. I live in a very small house, but my electric bill in the summer was over 100 every month with the AC. Sunrun dropped my Nevada energy bill down to an average of $13 and I pay Sunrun 85 so I'm still under the 140 that I was paying. It also makes me feel good because it is using a natural source.

    Sunrun sent somebody out and he very frankly told me that I probably wouldn't save a whole lot of money. I told him that that wasn't the main point of going solar. The main point was doing what we ought to do for the world and the rest of the people in it. So, we went ahead and put the panels on the roof. But the shutoff is on the front of my house and I would like to have talked a little bit more about where else could we put it. That didn't quite happen, but it was still okay. Since the installation, I've been more mindful of my electric use. I do a lot of things when the sun is shining and I have a time schedule when there are peak hours and non-peak hours. I try to do things in non-peak hours.

    So far, I paid ahead for my electricity at a great rate with Sunrun. APS is a pain in the butt. Nobody stops to read the meter and it goes automatically. But I have three different marks that bill for meter reading and it's not the electricity. The electricity doesn't cost you. It's everything else they pile on. Also, all my extra goes to APS. So if the Tesla batteries weren't so expensive, I would put them on for the extra production I make. All in all, I've never had any problems, knock on wood, with the system, and I always tell my kids that I'm perfectly satisfied with Sunrun.

Keeping track of my production is as easy as clicking on the app and it works almost 100% of the time.

I can’t say enough good things about Nick – he was able to completely change our situation – We now have a nice roof – a yard that can grow grass and a garden – and will be paying less for electricity now and for the next 25 years – He was kind – efficient – professional – responsive – a joy to work with – I am forever grateful to Nick and SunRun.

    STAY AWAY! I cannot express my sheer disappointment and frustration with SunRun, the so-called solar experts who have turned what should have been a bright investment into an absolute nightmare. In what can only be described as a gross display of incompetence, this company managed to install solar panels on my roof without securing the necessary permits, leading to a cascade of issues that have left me unable to sell my home. From the outset, SunRun touted themselves as industry leaders, claiming to provide cutting-edge solar solutions with a commitment to professionalism. Little did I know that this was a facade concealing a glaring lack of attention to the most basic requirements of their trade.

    The first sign of trouble emerged when I attempted to sell my property, only to discover that the solar installation performed by SunRun had not been properly permitted. This oversight has not only violated local regulations but has also resulted in a devaluation of my property, as potential buyers are rightfully wary of purchasing a home burdened by unapproved modifications. Attempts to rectify the situation with SunRun have been nothing short of infuriating. Their customer service is as lackluster as their adherence to legal procedures. It seems that once they have your money, they wash their hands of any responsibility for the aftermath of their shoddy work. The lack of professionalism exhibited by SunRun is astounding.

    A reputable solar company should understand the importance of obtaining the necessary permits before embarking on any installation. This failure has not only cost me financially but has also added an unnecessary layer of stress to an already complex real estate transaction. I urge anyone considering SunRun for their solar needs to think twice. Their incompetence has real consequences, and the headache they have caused me is a testament to their disregard for their customers and a blatant disregard for local regulations. SunRun has proven to be nothing more than a liability. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for a solar provider that values professionalism, follows regulations, and doesn't leave their customers stranded in a bureaucratic nightmare.

He determined more panels were needed and stated those would be installed at no cost.

I was expecting additional panels not getting into contract. This came to light when I was forwarded cosmetology documents with contract agreement to sign off. I was and called the rep. Then he began to explain the benefits of signing the contract and having Sunrun provide my energy needs. Called customer service to explain my frustration. She was quick to forward the agreement to install solar and claimed l was the one that was in a hurry. I should have waited a year in my new home before seeking to acquire solar systems. What a ridicule.

    I started this process in 2022. It shouldn't take two years. Also, it took them a month and a half even for me to get an appointment for the inverter that went wrong. I understand they own the system so they could come whenever they feel like. But I would have done it differently if they explained it to me better. They just wanted to make the sale. I should have asked what the support was like but I didn't. I should have known better. But I wish their service was better.

    Sunrun's employees are good, but all their support stuff aren't. They have horrible customer service. When I had to call them and get an appointment, that person is in the mainland making an appointment for somebody in Hawaii. I've had to pay so much out of my pocket because they took too long to come. Nobody explained to me how the solar works. We didn't know how it took so long to get enrolled with HECO, and it was not a good experience.

    There's a reduction in my billing, but it's not significant. I have an electric car. I pay another $200 on top of paying the electric company and Sunrun's lease, which is $500. I have 40 panels on the roof, which Sunrun said should make enough, but it doesn't make sense. I told Sunrun them prior to this that I had worked out the numbers and I said, "I still have to pay $200. I don't get that." And they said, "You should get that back from HECO every month as a credit." But I haven't. I see the savings, but it's not like what Sunrun said it would be.

    We live in Hawaii. It's cloudy. I get that. But it doesn't make sense to me because I give electric in the summer to HECO, and I don't get paid for that. I understood that going in. But I thought I would get a larger credit than I'm getting. I own a construction company. And I told them I would never refer them to my clients. I have tons of clients that want solar, but I would never. Because once Sunrun sold you it, they forget about you.

    Sunrun came out and did the estimate. I found out that I would be eligible for the government program that was zero out-of-pocket. The installation was all done in one day. The panels fill up one whole side of my roof, and then there are two more on the other side. The only thing is, I thought that if ComEd went out and the power went out for a storm, I would still be able to have power but I don't because I don't have a battery. Where I live, we didn't need a battery. They told me I didn't need it.

    Enrolling with Sunrun was seamless. I told the sales guy I wanted to give it a go and within a month, the system was fully installed and up and running. I have 10 panels and they look good up there. They’re shiny and seem to be doing the job. There's no reason not to have it. I did it because it would save me money and so far, so good. My electricity bills are way lower. It is nothing except for what ComEd charges for their incoming fee. But I wish the app was a little better. I've seen other companies out there where their app shows you exactly how much each panel is pulling in power-wise. Theirs just tells you how much you have brought in each day and how much fossil fuels you saved. I care about it, but I don't care about it. I wanna know how much money I'm saving.

    There was a delay between the installation and the inspection and I don't know if that was Sunrun’s fault or the city’s. But when I called to follow up, Sunrun immediately contacted the city and the inspector was out within a few days. I have no problems with solar because if I did, I wouldn’t have it. I save a lot of money on my electricity bill and I just pay for what's generated and if I don't use x amount of kilowatts, it goes out to the grid as a credit with Edison.

    Sunrun has been excellent. The person who helped me out was Johannes. He's a peach. The first time he knocked on the door, it was not convenient for us to chit-chat, so he made an appointment to come back. He was well-spoken, well-groomed, and very polite and my mom liked him. He told us he had a little brochure deal. He turned the pages slowly, pointed with this pen, explained everything, got out his tablet, and showed us examples of what he was telling us. He explained it so precisely that we knew that this was what we had been waiting for.

    We had already talked it through a couple of times over about five years. We've talked about wanting to do it. So, when he was saying exactly what we were hoping for, including the battery, we knew this was for us. There were lots of stages in getting the solar panels on the house, lots of permits and interactions, and Sunrun would send us texts, emails, and phone calls of reminders of appointments, who would be coming, and what to look for. I couldn't believe the customer service. These days, it really stood out. They were stellar.

    As far as the installation, there were steps and waiting for permits and preparation. They waited for the paint to dry before they would sign off and leave. The product is first quality. They redesigned my mom and dad's electrical panel and beefed it up so they could withstand the wattage generated by the solar panels. These guys were pros. They didn't mean to be super fast, but they were lightning fast. They came early. They sang while they worked. This company is special. They would knock before they left and they said, "Would you like to see what we've done? We're all done for the day. Thank you, Mrs. **." They were super polite. We'd offer them sodas, and they were like, "No." A couple of them worked while it was over 100 degrees and they were still happy. We were super impressed.

    I friended Johannes on Facebook so when people got on the local Facebook page and said, "Whose services? Who takes care of your solar?" I would tag Johannes on there and say, "This is what you want right here. Right here, this is what you want." They threw in a free electronic vehicle charger that was free. They put that in the garage, which upped our house value and we've got solar. The whole deal made the house, this property, go up in value. That's what Sunrun did for us. We're very pleased with them.

    We knew nothing about solar but heard the basics that it helps to save on your electric bill and so in 2019 one of the deceitful reps came around our town searching for people to prey on, any way we saw him around for a while then we finally decided to hear what he had to say, unfortunately it was the biggest mistake of our lives. We didn't know all the questions to ask but my most important question to him was "What if we weren't satisfied with the service." His response was that all we needed to do was to contact them and they will have someone come out and remove the panels, he expressed to us that at no cost should we touch the panels to clean it or for any other reasons, anything we needed just call and that seems simple and fair enough since to me it's a trial.

    They then checked my roof and claimed it was in great condition and in his words, "If your roof needed to be changed we would have changed it for free before installing the panels." Of course, my husband and I are afraid of heights so we most definitely wasn't going to go check plus this guy sold us his lies by appearing to be the nicest person you could ever meet. Anyways after agreeing to having the panels installed, I believed he made a call where a rep asked my husband some yes/no questions so based on what he told us my husband answered the questions but the installation was halted because we then found out that the meters were crossed and the bills he was using to do the estimate was inaccurate.

    We had to wait months until the meters was sorted out, he then claimed that when I received the first three bills to submit it to them so that they can do the estimate and go ahead with the installation. I asked him what if the three bills wasn't accurate as the meters would have just been changed and he said if they miscalculated all we needed to do was to contact them and they would come out to add more panels to the roof (another big lie). After the panels were installed I was receiving very high bills so I contacted them and at first I got no response so I sent emails and made phone calls and finally, they responded claiming that I should give it a little more time then send them 12 months bills.

    I sent them the bills and nothing, I called and left messages and no one called back so I stopped for a while, I then reached out to another department and explained the situation to the lady and asked for them to check to see what's going on or to come out and add the panels because I assumed that's what was wrong believing they estimated the usage incorrectly but when I asked her to add the additional panels she informed me that I would need to sign some sort of contract for that so I told her I would do no such thing not knowing we were supposedly already in one, because like I said this liar told us we could have the panels removed whenever we wanted to if it wasn't working for us.

    Anyways it took calling and emailing for over two years for them to send someone out to check the system, might I add SunRun was not even the ones that cared enough to send someone out, Infinity did because apparently they have some sort of business agreement with SunRun. When they finally came out to check the system the young lady informed me that half of my panels wasn't generating any energy because after the installation was completed there was some sort of pin that needed to be pushed it and it wasn't.

    Manager at Infinity again cared enough to offer me $500 to put towards my bills, after that my roof started leaking and so I contacted Infinity as they were the only ones that seems to respond to my concerns back then and they sent two persons out to check the roof and they both came back with different report as to why my roof was leaking but of course claimed it wasn't caused by the panels, after venting my frustrations with Infinity the manager then informed me that my contract was actually with SunRun and I needed to reach out to them, like I said I never knew a contract existed and had never seen one so I contacted them explaining the situation with my leak and requesting a copy of the contract because I needed to see what was in it.

    Sunrun then sent someone to check the roof and like the other two from Infinity, he also had a totally different reason for the leak so three solar persons, three different reports but none found the panels to be the cause. I then started reviewing the contract and the first thing I noticed was the signatures, they did not look anything like ours so I contacted Sunrun and notified them that the signature was forged because we were not familiar with any such signatures.

    Anyways they refused to assist in replacing or repairing my roof so I had two independent contractors come out to inspect my roof and provide me an estimate and both contractors informed me that my major leak was definitely caused by the installation of the panels because of the age and condition of my roof, they said my roof was in no condition for the solar panels to be installed on, yet this guys lied to us, he told us the roof was in good condition because I later found out that the roof wouldn't have been free, so the fact that they weren't doing the roof he could lie and say it would have been free.

    I have submitted the report from the contractor to senior personnel in Sunrun, one person I sent the document to since Dec 29, 2023 and she has not gotten back to me. In regards to my husband signature being forged, they sent me a time-stamped document claiming that's when my husband signed the document but I realized the document was also signed on the sales rep iPad and I also requested a time-stamped proof showing the date and time the original contract was sent to my husband since Dec 29, 2023 and I have not gotten a response, yet this person was able to send me the supposedly time stamped contract with 48 hrs of her receiving my case.

    I have gone through my husband completed docusign documents and this supposedly contract is nowhere in his email, why is my new request now taking her over 360 hrs and still counting to provide me this evidence I requested. I wished we had done our research before agreeing to this thing because like I said I never knew about being stuck in any contract and I would have never agreed to such a thing not knowing if it would even work, now I am still getting absorbent bills from my utility company and have this nonsense on my roof.

    For example last month they said I used 1135 kwts of electricity and all the solar provided was 36kwts, this is ridiculous and every time I call about this all they can tell me is that I am over-consuming, it's obvious that this conniving sales rep rushed us into doing the installation with only three months of bills because he didn't want us to change our minds, now no one seems to care because they sit in their big offices making big bucks off of poor people that is already struggling to pay their bills.

    I really do not understand how these people sleep at nights, let me not forget to mention that they make the contracts so vague to us little people that it confuses you trying to understand it and again you can't even trust the people giving you the information to be honest. Something needs to be done about this, as far as I heard the solar system was introduced to be a good thing but with what's going on eventually no one will even want to hear about it and I am definitely one of those persons. They have helped in damaging my roof, my electric bills are still very high so why do I have solar, I didn't know it was for decoration.

    Every time anybody talked about solar, I pushed Sunrun. They are the only one that Costco has in their warehouses. So, that tells me a lot. When our solar first started, we went to turn it on and one switch area wasn't connected to anything. Other than that, I love it. When we got it in the first place, our first year, our true-up was $54 and something. Our second year was $14 and something. We added some panels before the law changed and we got a free plug-in for a car. And this year for our true-up, we got a check for $140 back. They contacted me when something needed fixed or changed, and they have come over and fixed it.

    I have become friendly with the people that I worked with. Some of them, I know them by name. And if I had a question, like when we got the check, I called one of them to say, "Can I really cash this?" I was hesitant. So, Sunrun's staff are friendly and knowledgeable. And if they didn't know, they found out and got right back to me.

I’m very satisfied with the installation though there were a couple of little stumbling blocks. It seemed to take a long time to get some of that done and that was also about the time when PG&E changed their rates and the Utility Board said they were no longer gonna be having NEMS2.

    The solar panel is good. I talk to my rep Christopher and he's very good. That's the reason I have Sunrun. He's very nice. He followed up. He was on top of things, but the problem is not solved. The company doesn't do anything good. I have a problem with the roof tile broken. When the problem came and he emailed and sent case managers, none of them responded to me. My rep even gave me the number and I texted and called, but nobody responded. I said, "What's going on with your company?" Christopher said, "Let me take care of it." But nothing came up. So, I don't know what's going on. Is something going on with the company?

    Somehow it has been taking a couple of months to finish since I had it in June. And after they finished the inspection, I didn't know what was wrong with it until it rained and leaked to my house and we found out the roof was broken. So, I'm not happy about that. When you put the solar on the tile, they know it would be broken. So, they have to take care of that. It might damage the whole house and they have to respond faster. Also, I have the 2,500 reward but it still has not come to me. How can I refer to my friend with those problems not taken care of?

    Sunrun is the second company that I hooked up, and for some reason, I don't think that the solar panels are working properly because now I'm getting a bigger bill than I got before. I already have Tesla, then I hooked up Sunrun to add to my solar panels so that I would never get a bill from PG&E. Sunrun said that they could do that, but when I explained that to the lady, she said, “Sorry, you're just using too much electricity.” I said, "Could somebody go out and check the panels?” She said, “We can't do that.” I asked to speak with the manager, but she said no. I told her, “I don't understand why I can't speak with the manager,” and she said, “You don't have a good enough reason to talk to a manager.” So, all said and done, she hung up on me and it was a very rude conversation.

    In the beginning, my experience with Sunrun was good, then I recently had that phone conversation where I wish I could switch companies. However, I'm locked in, and the lady told me that. It was a horrible experience, and I would love to have made a complaint about that lady. She completely should not be in customer service. When somebody's disappointed, you're supposed to help them out, especially when it's their home. That's the whole purpose of being in customer service. I haven't gotten a chance to get back in touch with anybody and speak about my concern again. I'm waiting now. It's year end, and I'll be getting my true up, but it looks like it's costing me more to have Sunrun than it was to not have them. I'm paying one bill each for Sunrun, the electricity company and Tesla.

    Our experience started out very well, and the consultant who guided us through the process was very responsive and helpful. During the installation process, our gutter was bent, and they were very quick to respond and send someone out to fix it. Before installing the panels, Sunrun sent someone out to inspect the roof to make sure it was in good condition and able to support the panels. They advised that our roof was in good condition to support the panels. Having no knowledge of roofing, or the ability to get up on the roof and look at it ourselves, we trusted this assessment and had the panels installed in 2021.

    Recently pieces of our roofing started falling off so we had a couple of roofing companies come take a look and they all advised us that the roof is failing and needs to be replaced immediately. The individual from sunrun who inspected our roof initially did not advise us that the roof was in poor condition. Now, about two years later, in addition to the cost of replacing the roof, it appears that we will have to pay sunrun a large amount of money to remove and replace the panels before we can get our roof replaced. If we had been advised upfront that the roof was in terrible condition, we would have replaced the roof before proceeding with installation of the panels. Now we will be out upwards of $8000 for sunrun to remove and replace our huge solar system.

    We contacted their customer service because we don’t think they should have installed the system on a roof that the inspector should have clearly seen only had 2 to 3 years of life left in it, and we can’t afford a new roof along with the removal and re-installation fees for the panels. The senior escalations expert that I was corresponding with to get this issue resolved has stopped responding to me and I don’t know what to do. I am really nervous that my roof is going to start leaking. We are stuck because we can’t replace the roof until we get this issue resolved.

    My advice would be to do very extensive research before panel installation and definitely have your own roofer take a look at your roof for suitability before allowing sunrun to install any panels on your roof. Sunrun has a 10 year guarantee against leaks caused by the panels. Even the roofer who sunrun sent out after we initiated this complaint admitted that our roof was failing and that if it was his roof, he would replace it immediately. If the roof was good enough condition to install panels on and has already degraded to the point of failing, that tells me that the degradation was caused by the panel installation process or the weight of the panels. Either that or they were dishonest about the condition of our roof from the get-go to expedite installation, or to make more money down the road, knowing that we would have to pay them to uninstall and reinstall the panels.

    As the next step in moving toward a resolution of this issue, sunrun asked us to obtain a roofing report from our roofer which we obtained and sent to them and then they just stopped responding to us. We are saving a lot of money on electricity, which is amazing, but the cost of damages that could result from a leaky roof may not outweigh our savings.

    I found out during the signing of the contract, Sunrun is associated with Costco, which I liked. In general, Sunrun is a very good company. I like them in general except they do a terrible job of giving information on the power output from the day before. They give a crummy graph. And when I click the other thing, they also tell how much output was generated the day before. It's there most of the time. Some of the time, it's not. I sent Sunrun an email at one time, told them it was crummy and they needed to fix it, but I never heard back from them. When I click on something, I expect to have the information on there, and it's not on there.

    One time, I called up to see if they could put in a power wall. It's a battery that the panels charge, and you could run the battery. It's a big device. It's 2 ft. by 3 ft. And I could use that during with Xcel energy. We were on the time-of-use thing, so I could program the power bank to generate electricity that was already previously generated by the panels. I could use the power bank to charge my usage during the day instead of using the high cost time-of-use program. And I called them about that, and at one time, they said it wasn't available. I called them a year after that. They said they would have somebody get in contact with me, but they never did. But it's not that urgent.*

    The salesperson was superb! The initial technicians need more training. I have 61 panels and they were wired wrong, for me I am paying two bills for 4 monthly (currently) with little or no production from 61 panels. Call customer service and the initial was nice and took my complaint. The regional area manager reached out to me. I received an email that she got the complaint and that she would reach out... That never happened so in the last four months I would have paid $2000+ when without them I would have paid $700. Do not see a benefit. Paying them to sit 61 panels on my new roof without really helping me falls within the lemon law in my mind. I going to wait and see the outcome of the bill and if by the end of next month there is no improvement, I will turn the system off and wait to go to court.

    The salesman came out, set the system up and everything was fine. It worked perfectly. They did the drone, looked in the attic and told me what they were gonna do. Everything was to the dot the first time. A year later, I purchased a Tesla so I needed extra panels and I had a problem with Sunrun. They weren't upfront on what they were gonna do. The salesman said, based on what I have, I was gonna need so many and they would go a couple over to be safe. That was great. But once I got the Tesla, he said I would need some extra panels. He never said it was a different contract and I have two payments now.

    When I got the bills, I didn't understand why I was behind on one of my bills. It’s automatic and he said they were two different bills because they can't bundle them. He never told me that upfront. I probably still would have gotten it but I would have known about it. I had already purchased a Tesla so it wouldn't have made much of a difference on that but the salesman never said it was the only way they could do it. I told him and he said he did. I know he didn't because it was three months and I was calling accounting and I was told what happened. But I am happy with the service with Sunrun. It has nothing to do with the salesman. He wasn't the same one from the year before. If you don't ask, they won't tell you certain things and he thought maybe I wouldn't get Sunrun for panels. But I was still gonna get them because I have the vehicle.

    I see what the Tesla costs to charge every night because I use it every day. But I'm under and still have a credit with STG. So, it's not like I go above and beyond and try to use as much current as I can because I have panels. It's still my wife and myself, so we're still under but I'm fine with that. I'm very satisfied with the service and it was just that part that the salesman said he was sure he told me.

    I'm in San Diego County and my aunt who I lived with for 15 years lives in Cucamonga. I called Sunrun and they referred me to a different salesman out in Cucamonga. So, he went out and did the estimate on my aunt’s house and everything was ready to go. That was six months ago. They did all the work. But two weeks ago, the salesman came back and told her she has to pay $2,300 because they screwed up on the estimate that they have to do something with the existing electrical panels and there's a charge. My aunt is on social security so she's tight with her budget. So I talked to him and I said I had them do my service and my neighbors too. But now they’re telling me it's $2,300 for them to finish my aunt’s. She doesn't have the money. He said he was gonna call Sunrun and see what he could do so she wouldn't have to pay. He told me he screwed up. He should have told her but he didn't.

    It was the salesman and Sunrun who got lost somehow on that extra charge. But so far, they haven't hooked it up. He hasn't called me back to see what the deal is. This was Tuesday of last week and we're just waiting on him to see what he's gonna say. There's no way my aunt can pay it even if it's payments because she's just trapped. It's a four-bedroom house and her husband died. It was a slip-up. But besides that, everything's fine. I live on a cul-de-sac so it's hard because I don't know the other neighbors that live up the street. But any chance I can, I'm always telling them to go to Sunrun. They can't go wrong. The guys that came out did all the service. They painted all the tubing and the conduit. Everything was nice and they didn't cut any corners. It's perfect.

    Sunrun is great. When I signed up, they took the information from the Costco membership card and scheduled an appointment. It was very easy. The reps were very professional. They looked at my bill, asked me questions and assessed the house. Everything got approved and then, they ordered the panel through Costco, which generated savings for me and another guarantee, which made me feel more comfortable with Sunrun. I began the process in March and everything was approved by the city and the panels came in by June. They scheduled the installation around my time and it took them one day to install it. Sunrun came out as well as the city and they inspected it. The city had to remove a panel because it was gonna generate too much electricity. Sunrun came back and removed that very quickly and professionally. There was no damage to my house and they did not try to sell me a new roof.

    The system has been active for over a year and I saw big differences in my bill. I was on a level billing plan and I didn't know I had to change. So, I didn't see it immediately. I called Con Ed, which is my electrical company and they said I gotta come off the level billing. I did and had a bunch of credit. I was being overcharged so for four months, I didn't pay a light bill. All summer, I paid $30 and now, because it's getting darker earlier, my recent bill was $70 maybe. I loved going solar. I didn't have any problems that people say they have. My installation was very neat and professional.

    Most people don't even realize I have solar because Sunrun did such a good job. I would recommend them. One of the extra benefits I get with Costco is that if I have a problem, Costco is gonna step in. They monitor it along with Sunrun. I got savings on the panel because I've spoken to other Sunrun customers who have not gone to Costco, and for what I got, my system was great, at a good price.

    I've tried to cut down my usage but knowing that I had solar, I was not too worried about it. Then at the end of the year, if I overproduce, I get a credit back from the local utility company. And if I don't produce 95% of what Sunrun guaranteed, they pay me a small check for the difference. So, it's a win-win. I haven't had any problems with the system, but in the new systems, each panel has its own built-in inverter. Compared to the older system that I bought, which was more expensive, I only have one inverter for the whole system. And they say that the average lifespan on that is 10 to 12 years and if it goes within the 20 years of my lease, Sunrun replaces it at their cost.

    I use the app on my phone to track my usage, but I mostly use the website because I like to run various reports and it's easier to have the report sent directly to an Excel spreadsheet so I can check how much I produced in a month. And I can use custom dates. This way, I can compare what I'm recording versus what my bills have been.

    All in all, I would recommend Sunrun. There were some issues that I tried to get in touch with them and they just replied with standard answers. So, I wasn't enthralled with their customer service. But other than that, I haven't had any major problems. The panels are Samsung panels and they're projected to produce at least 90% of what the original production was after 20 years. And from what I'm measuring, they're producing still up in the upper 90s and it's been almost 10 years. I'm lucky none of the panels have failed that I can tell because I'm overproducing what I'm expected to produce. At the end of the year, Sunrun is always writing me a check for 100 or 80 bucks, so I really can't complain.

    Two young guys came to the front door with the pamphlet for Sunrun. They had the basic information about the product and they explained that they were working in the homes that were in the area. Whatever question I had, they could answer. Then they said they could have someone call me and make an appointment then we could go from there. No more than a week later, their rep came out. The guy was here explaining everything and he said we could either rent or buy or something else, but we really didn't understand the benefits because I had to call him back at least once. They also gave us a timeline for the installation, but there were all these normal obstacles with the county and the city, and it happened about six months from the time that I agreed to put up the solar panels and we signed the contract.

    The install was excellent and the guys who were here were artists. They were very polite and they explained what they were going to do. They came twice because we had so many panels. We had 44 panels put up and they were here for two days. They were quiet when they did their work and there wasn't any damage. Twice a day, they would inform me of where they were and what they were doing.

    All in all, Sunrun did a good job and I would suggest to my friends to talk to them. The equipment works good and we haven't had any problems with it. It's well worth the investment. But you have to ensure that you know the option you're choosing and what that option involves. I thought that with the leasing I was doing, I would get an annual inspection. That was one of the reasons I went with that option because it was my understanding that they would come at least once a year and inspect, clean the system, and give me a good update. But I found out that they do not do any inspection. They only come and inspect if there is an issue.

    Enrollment with Sunrun was good. The plan itself was explained to me thoroughly, including how it works and how much savings I will get after a few years. I won't be able to realize that in the first few years, but I haven't encountered any problem at the moment, except right now, it's winter and the system is not producing as much as I want. I also don't know how to read the billing of our power provider, LADWP. It's different. There's a lot of tier that, "How does this work? How do I read this? Am I saving or am I really getting enough energy or not?" The only thing that I could see is that, "Well, I'm getting credit. That means I'm producing more than what I'm using." I pay about 160 a month, which is about 300 every two months. It's, more or less, the average amount of electric bill that I am getting from LADWP every two months. It goes up during summer because of the air con. That's where the saving goes.
