The Good

  • High Quality Equipment
  • Wide Variety of Payment Options
  • Lengthy Equipment Warranty
  • Referral Program

High Quality Equipment

AM Sun Solar offers some of the best equipment in the industry, including LG panels and SMA inverters. LG solar panels rank among the best in terms of energy efficiency and durability. They also come with an industry-leading 25-year manufacturer's warranty, meaning if any defect or damage is founding during or after the solar installation process, LG will service or replace the faulty solar cell at no or limited cost to the homeowner.

Wide Variety of Payment Options

AM Sun Solar provides its customers with several ways to finance a solar energy system, including outright purchase, loan, solar lease, and power purchase agreement (PPA). The company explains the features and benefits of each payment option on its website, which can help customers to decide which option is most fitting for their needs and budget.

Lengthy Equipment Warranty

AM Sun Solar offers a 25-year equipment warranty, which covers the panels and inverter.

Referral Program

AM Sun Solar offers a referral program that pays customers $500 for every person they refer. The referral must be noted on the final signed contract.

The Bad

  • Average Workmanship Warranty
  • Limited Availability

Average Workmanship Warranty

Although AM Sun Solar offers a lengthy equipment warranty, the company's workmanship warranty, which is set at 12 years and covers labor, is average relative to most solar installer companies. Compared to workmanship warranties offered by top companies in the industry (up to 25 years) this warranty is much shorter.

Limited Availability

Currently, AM Sun Solar only offers its services in California. Although being a local provider comes with its own unique set of benefits, it also limits the number of consumers who have the ability to do business with the company. Homeowners local to the company's service area are encouraged to read verified AM Sun Solar reviews to determine if the company's service, product line, and financing options match their needs best.

The Bottom Line

AM Sun Solar offers a number of attractive features, including high quality equipment, a wide variety of payment options, a robust equipment warranty, and a referral program. Its 12-year workmanship warranty, while a step above several solar panel companies in the area, is still about half as long as the industry leaders; but homeowners are still encouraged to obtain a free quote from AM Sun Solar and compare its proposal with leading companies in their neighborhood.

I contacted AM Solar in hopes of getting back up batteries for our existing solar system. They were super helpful and walked me though the process. We’re now approved to receive the batteries! Can’t wait to have them installed.

Installation and followup with our solar installation has been excellent. I was told at the install that the company remotely monitors our system. After 1 3/4 years I got a call that they needed to come out and change a part on our panel.

The gentleman that sold me the system that came to the house he walked me through all the steps and when I had questions and concerns after he was done with his part of it and I would text him or email him he'd always get back to me or he'd always have the office staff get back to me right away. He really went above and beyond I felt.

There were some details that had been left out of the estimate and caused some difficulty with actually implementing the plan. However in the midst of all of that they did a very good job of dealing with the issues and taking care of things about holding their end of the contract.

There needs to be better internal communication between departments so that the client does not receive emails that would lead to confusion. It is a great company but the communication could be better.

We had a more complex installation than most homes because we didn't want to put it on our tile roof so we have a bank of panels and they did a really good job in installing them and yeah it's great.

The installation process went very well until the very last minute the final installation crew punctured the water pipe but they took care of it. I was very pleased at how they took care of it.

Whenever I had an issue they came out and repaired it like I had a damaged paneled by a bullet. They came out and replaced the panel for me so they gave me good customer service.

I have called numerous times regarding a quote for two extra panels. We spent $44,000 on a solar system and cannot get a call back. I’ve called at least 6-7 times and I’m told each time someone will get back to me soon. I never get a call. I’m done. It’s a shame because we had excellent service while we were spending so much money, but now nothing. I would have given a rating if 10 at the end of December but not I’m just disappointed to the point I’m reluctant to refer AM Sun Solar.

The original getting everything together was fine. The sales person was nice and really helpful, but then they had a delay in getting it to us and getting it started. Just the whole process of doing things was very disorganized. They spelled my name wrong on the paperwork. We kept calling and nobody called us back, people not knowing what the heck they were talking about so it was just really confusing.

There solar work and staff was professional. What really got me was when I signed up there was a promo gift that I never got. I asked several times for it. Then I referred another customer and I should have received a cash bonus from that and never got it. They don’t keep their marketing promises.

The lack of communication after installation was unfortunate. We were also told our solar would cover our monthly bill but instead we are paying our solar loan as well as a PGE bill. Definitely did not budget for the added expense. A bit more transparency in that regard would have been nice.
