Recent Sunrun reviews

Carolyn, San Francisco, CA: Professional, reliable, and eco-friendly, Sunrun is the way to go for solar solutions. Superior service and competitive pricing. Sunrun exceeded my expectations in every way. Their expertise and customer service are unmatched.

Marion, Spring Hill, FL: Their site is good and relatively simple. I just have not produced as much power. They said I only had one overage in July of last year. It was a hot, sunny summer. My power in the month of July of last year was, $42, which is the basic charge. But my most recent one was 127, which is half of what I would be paying if I didn't have solar. I'm satisfied.
