Thank you for your feedback Bob, and we are very sorry to hear of your frustrations. As with any home project, there can be unexpected delays that occur. We do our best to manage those and are continuing to improve our process of how to best communicate and push along those delays that involve other parties.
Unfortunately, Sun Badger has no control over the process of the IL SREC incentives once filed. They typically do take a few months to send out the checks. You can follow up directly with Carbon Solutions Group to see when you can expect that.

Company has disappeared? Closed? Shuttered? Who knows. All I know is they stopped responding to all attempts at communication and now I’m maybe locked into a contract for a company that is defunct. 0/10 would use again.

Significant delays in installation. Overpromised and underdelivered.

misleading info on SREC payments would make me completely change my decision on going with SB

Thank you for your review Jeff. Sun Badger handles the SREC applications for our customers, however we do not control the timeline of payments. You should be receiving your incentive payments soon, as your application has moved through the process. Could you please clarify which part was misleading to you? We apologize that you are frustrated with this part of the process, but these delays are caused by the state of Illinois, and we do not have control as an installer over their process. Hopefully, once you receive your incentives you will be able to update Sun Badger on this review!

Solar output not as described , We have not come close to offsetting our production

Reply from Sun Badger Solar

Thank you Kevin for your feedback. As we previously discussed, your system is producing as we predicted. In fact, for the past two months your system produced 1.4MWh each month! The reason for your frustrations on the offset amount, is unfortunately due to your utility company's net metering rules. With this being addressed recently, you should now see the offset percentage being met going forward. We hope that you will regain confidence in Sun Badger Solar over the next 25+ years that your system will be producing energy for you! Please don't hesitate to reach out to us with any other questions or concerns.

Thank you for your feedback Andrew. Every municipality handles permitting differently, and we make sure that we follow each of their protocols in order to get timely permits on our customers' behalf. As well, we are a new and growing company, and are adding and making changes to our team as needed.

Thank you for your feedback. Your system was energized on July 8th and was fully operational at that time. Half of your solar system stopped working on Saturday, July 23rd. You contacted our service coordinator on Sunday, July 24th and your system became fully operational again on July 26th. We apologize that this disruption caused for a poor review, but we are hopeful that seeing the system's energy production going forward can help shine a positive light again on your experience with Sun Badger!

They aren't paying their bills. Just got an email from Omnidian saying they were canceling all Sun Badger contracts.
