Sun Power was very professional. Their customer service has been really good. The installation was completed in one day, and then they helped walk me through getting set up with the power company to sell my excess energy back to the grid. Overall, it’s been a really good decision. I’ve built up a $305 credit. This is the first summer I’ve had the panels, so I’m not sure if I’ll continue to get credits through our 100+ degree weather in Texas, but I’m hoping I’ll at least break even. For the past couple of years, my electric bill has been over $600 a month during June, July and August.
The only critique I have is that it wasn’t explained to be that I would get a tax credit instead of a tax refund. I was expecting to get a check for the entire amount and put it towards my loan, but it was a tax credit, which can be passed on from year to year, so it will cover my taxes for the next few years.
Overall, it’s been a really good experience.

We have had a great experience so far! It took a while to get everything going, but I know that's just the process. The entire team at Sea Bright Solar in Redlands was excellent to work with and answered all of our questions kindly and patiently. I love that we are making energy and not really using much up daily, even during the hotter days of summer! That's very encouraging for the future. We look forward to learning more about SunPower and how it will work for us throughout the calendar year. We've only had the system up and running for less than a month so no official bill yet to see what our savings is. It did take about 4 months to get everything completed, but it was still before the heat of summer, so that's great!

As first time solar customers we knew going in that our savings per month would be significant. What we were less sure about was the performance of the app to control the system (battery and solar). So far we have been pleased with the overall performance. The service has gone offline a couple of times, but seems to come back automatically (it appears there is an "aliveness" check every morning with an automated reset if there is a problem). We've lost power a couple of times when the battery failed to switch over. Hopefully that is working better now, we'll soon find out because we're heading into power loss season. Overall we can recommend them but we are still learning and adapting to our new solar ways.

I would absolutely recommend it. Especially because I was totally ignorant about solar, and after several people that I spoke to from different companies, I felt very comfortable with what information I was provided by SunPower in everything that they told me. I feel very confident. I have not had any problems with it. Install with the company was very easy, fast and very very well. It didn't take very long actually, with the longest probably was the process through the city than anything else, but it went very well, very smoothly. If I have any questions, any problems, or concerns I can always call and they're very willing to provide information and offer assistance if I need it.

We've had no problems. When I talked to the representatives they answered my questions very quickly. We are going to get the 30% tax credit, so that's definitely a plus. The system was not the cheapest, not the most expensive was kind of in the middle. They came out and set up the entire system in little over a day. The inspector was out within four or five days after that, and it was up and running probably a little over a week after it was installed. System's working great. Every time I've called and talked to Jessica, she's the one that helped us get the system installed, and sets back to me. Either I talked to her right away, or she gets back to me very quickly.

I felt honored that the CEO actually came out and talked to me about the company and how the process would go. And he oversaw one of the installations of some of the equipment. And Ryan, who was the person who initially dealt within the sales department, he continually followed up with everything, never drop through the cracks, followed up on his own asking how things were going. It was just a very, very good experience. I have the ability to monitor it through the website, which works very, very well. I can monitor how my solar system is doing, start to finish it. They set me up so I could have an outlet for my electric vehicle that works very well.

They help walk you through the process and they help make sure you understand it's going to take forever and a day for the government and the and the power company to get around to letting you turn it on. It literally took about five months before all that got taken care of, not Sun power's fault that's just the way that approvals were. Most of their stuff is made in the US, which means down the road it is going to be easier because they can get parts and stuff, so it wasn't going to be a supply problem. Also, American workers got the paycheck. The way that they manufacture their panels with the solid copper screening instead of the wire looping makes it so that even if a portion of the thing cracks, which is not uncommon, the panel still works and so there is a higher reliability factor. The installation process was almost seamless. They were in and out of here and I hardly knew they were here, they were very careful. They were not just friendly, but they were quick to respond to any inquiries that I had. If I had any follow up questions they were well knowledgeable about it and rarely had to check and call me back. So they knew their business, the people on the phone knew their business and they took care of you and always, always always friendly and helpful.

It's only been about 17 days, but so far it seems to be a great investment on my part. I've had a very, very positive experience from the first time I met the salesperson to the day they turned it on about two weeks ago, and so far I've been very pleased with the results. They answered all my questions and whenever I made a phone call, they got back to me quickly. I interviewed 3 different companies and I liked the presentation that the salesperson made and the information that she provided me on the computer, all the different scenarios of what the cost would be in the savings. It was very professional.

I looked at 5 companies and yours was the most honest in that you guys mentioned the disadvantages as well as advantages of solar. Customer service was exceptional. Every time I called and had any kind of issue or question, it was answered right away. Tthey were open with the costs and helped me with the costs to a degree. On the installation, there were just a couple of the small hiccups. The biggest one was when the main line going into the power grid, it was loose. It wasn't tight or properly fit. The equipment that they used wouldn't allow it to be tightened, and it had to be replaced once it got found.

We have had a great experience with SunPower solar panels installed by Evoke Solar. Our system was installed in early 2021 and interconnected with the utility (turned on) within three months. From neighbors working with large nation-wide installers, their interconnection took 5-6 months. Evoke was very responsive in every step of the process, from working together to tailor the system design to my needs, to preparing all the paperwork for my HOA, to helping me navigate NJ TRECS, to resolving hardware issues when they came up. I am in e-mail contact with the staff and owners(!) and everything I need is always fully addressed, and I would say I am a needy customer. As an engineer who works in the energy field, I bring a lot of knowledge and that brings a lot of questions and demands, but Evoke was both patient and thorough, and our resulting system is fantastic and performs splendidly. The only hardware issue we had was with the communications box, not the panels or inverters. The box lost its wifi connection, and Evoke replaced it once and we haven't had any issues since. The SunPower panels are very efficient, cover our roof and our electric needs, and operate worry and hassle free. Overall, I am very pleased with both the panels and with my experience working with Evoke Solar. When my electric demand increases in a few years when I get plug-in electric cars, I may expand my solar array, and if I do it will definitely be with SunPower panels installed by Evoke Solar.

At the time I got the system, it was the most output per square foot of any system, so that meant it was a lot you smaller because of the high powered. I like the fact that you guys had larger solar cells so you had a few electric connections in the cells.
I did have a little bit of an issue with my wifi and it took a little longer than I would like to get it resolved. The fact that you guys manufacture, sell, install, and warranty for one-stop shopping with your products. I did some research and I like the capability of the products and the design of the products - it's very impressive. The crew that showed up was good. I'm a very fussy homeowner and their installation is very neat: the lines are straight and the system was hidden from the front just as I asked and the crew. It was very easy to talk to and work with them.

So far I've been pleased with the installation and the work that was done seems to meet my needs and expectations. I was initially contacted by a SunPower salesperson named Eric and he explained the benefits of solar panels. I liked their advertising, their costs, and he was very thorough and I trusted him. Then I looked around some other solar panel companies and I felt that SunPower offered the best program at the best cost and the best value for me.
I needed some new electrical panel which they installed along with new solar panels. The follow ups were good and I am getting what I expected when I signed up for the program.

Every time I've had a question I've gotten a response almost immediately. I talked to Izzy from sunpower and I was very impressed with him, he answered all my questions and we only talked about it, there was no pressure and so I went with the Sunpower. Install was quick! I couldn't believe they got here they did a great job and they were gone before I really knew what was going on, it was just excellent. My neighbor bought Sunpower and I talked to them they had a problem with their installation crew. The people that installed their panels went bankrupt on them and sunpower stood behind it and they took care of it and I thought that was really impressive.

We have absolutely no regrets going solar. We feel we chose the best in the business from our system from our research about various companies, products lines, and local installers. Since it was a time in my life I actually had enough money to pay outright for the Solar system my feelings about the value and savings is more likely different than from those who are paying over a period of time for their system. Of course we realized immediate savings and benefits from Solar. The system works flawlessly with the exception of a module that had to be replaced a few months after install. Faulty parts are a possibility with any mechanical/electrical product. The happily surprising thing was the interaction between the Customer Service and myself over the faulty device. The findings were realized and a crew came out to replace the device in a timely manner. As far as the install, and interaction with the local installer, we were also more than satisfied with everything from initial contact, sales call, informative video call and install. The crew were thorough, courteous and quick to install the system. Questions I had were quickly answered by the Phoenix dealer; Greg F at PGT Solar Solutions.

I felt that they did a really good job of explaining everything before I committed to the install. The crew was efficient, they were super professional. The guy had everything wrapped up in a timely fashion. I was just extremely happy of the service all the way around. Very smooth. The technology on the app allows me to monitor the system. It is very user friendly. So far I'm generating a hundred and seventy percent of what I consume so I'm really happy about that. They did a really good job, I'm really happy with the decision I made. I felt comfortable with the power and I think that was a good decision for us.

Installation was very professional. My home design is such that it was necessary to have panels in 3 different locations on my roofs. Even though it was extra work, they ran the connecting wiring through my attic so they would not show on the roof. After install there was a painter who came to the house and painted all the conduit to match the color of the house. They even painted the conduit on the flat roof to match the color of the white mastic. All the associated controls and shut offs were organized and professionally installed on the outside garage wall. It looks very neat and professional.

If I had it to do over again I would still make my same decision because of the quality of the products. I have no complaints, I'm very happy with it, very satisfied. Amazing, no problem, professional staff and leasing companies that I've worked with. I felt more comfortable with them, they took time to answer my questions they allowed me to take the time I needed to make the decision they did not pressure me. They are always available to take my calls to handle any resolution. It took a little bit longer for a couple of the panels to come online but they gave me a window to watch it and then call back if it wasn't online and if I had any questions or whatever and so I called back and they opened the ticket up and ironically it within a day or two after the ticket being opened up it resolved itself. They always make sure the customer is happy.

My wife and I recently contracted with SunPower to install a solar system on our home and we are writing you on behalf of one of your outstanding employees, David E. We had considered solar for some time but frankly were nervous after having a previous large home improvement project suck the life out of us. We began this project by doing our thorough due diligence, researching companies and obtaining multiple estimates. After the first few interactions with other companies we had no relief from our concerns than before we began, then we met David. From our first online contact through the end of the project he was the one person we could always count on at SunPower. Beginning with the estimation process he was forthright and organized and SunPower was the only company who gave us an accurate estimate on the very first visit. On the day of the installation 2 hours had passed and no one had arrived to perform the installation. I called all the numbers I had at SunPower but no one responded. Even though we realized it was not David's responsibility, we called him and within minutes he had contacted us back. He then researched the issue and even contacted the lead installer Jony, who by the way was also excellent, and the installation was rescheduled for a few days later and completed promptly. We had a few other small issues regarding missing paperwork, completion of our 1000-dollar gift card which, not surprisingly, David handled it all quickly. My wife and I entered into our solar project with great apprehension but thanks to David we survived with our sanity intact and a great solar system. You have an outstanding employee in David E and we just wanted to let you know what a difference he made for us. Sincerely, Mike and Louise London

The entire SunPower team was professional, competent, and responsive at every step of the way. From the initial proposal put together by Mike S, to the application and permitting process (which Emma Stadler helped us navigate), to the site survey, installation, and inspection (coordinated by Danielle K), we were very impressed at how quickly everything moved along and how friendly and responsive the entire team was. My concerns on the installed system were addressed quickly and professionally by the installation crew (led by Darrell) prior to the permit inspection, and the entire system was online/producing power over a month before we expected! The system has operated going on 9 months now, and the performance has exceeded what was presented in the initial proposal. We love how the array blends into the house asthetics, and how the panel and conduit were installed in an unobtrusive spot right next to the main breaker panel. We have been asked by multiple neighbors about who did the work, and we happily respond "SunPower is the best!"

I chose them because I wanted a local company and I felt like they were in the top three companies. I felt like with the quote it was the best combination of quality and service. All of them were very professional. From the initial salesman, who I dealt with through the entire process, to the installers, everybody was absolutely excellent. The communication is the best I have had with a contractor. Installation was slow, it took about two days, which is what was expected. Everything went as planned. They did a nice job. I feel like the product is the best on the market. It will save you money once you get it going.

Choosing the best manufacturer of panels is equally as important as picking a great local dealer. And Sunpower is considered by many to be among the top, if not THE top of the industry. First and foremost, they are made in the USA. That’s a plus. Many solar panels are made in China and elsewhere in Asia. They also claim to be more efficient than other panels. Sunpower makes the whole system- panels, inverters, peripherals. Not so with some systems, where the local solar dealer will assemble together a system of generic/compatible equipment that may all work together, but not as well as a system built from a single manufacturer, from the ground up. to work together. My salesperson called it a “Frankenstein system”. It just makes sense a system optimized to work together will be more efficient It’s a big expenditure. You might as well buy the best, especially since the difference isn’t that much.

Sun Power is quick at getting back to you. If there is an issue or question, they are very responsive. I've been extremely pleased with their technical support. When it came time for installation, they were thorough and told me exactly what they were going to do and what time they'd come. They were very efficient and I'm very happy with the results. I had a failed panel and it was a long process to get it replaced. The part had to come from California and it wasn't readily available. It took a while to come, so I wish they had some in stock. I'm very pleased overall with the product as well as the sales team that provided exactly what I asked for.

The installation process was seamless. The customer service representative that was in charge of getting everything set up coordinated all the appointments and let me know if there were any delays or changes to the schedule. There were no issues during installation and I have no complaints. We had an issue that took awhile to get resolved. It took several phone calls before they sent someone out. I think everything took longer because of the pandemic, but they tested in a pretty timely manner. Whenever I call in to customer service, they answer my questions quickly and if they can't answer it they escalate it to someone who can. Each panel has its own sensor, so if one panel goes out the whole system doesn't shut down like with other companies. We've noticed a decrease in our electric bill, so I would recommend this company to anyone.

Grant Scheffer
I chose South Coast Solar from Columbia, SC because of the knowledge that Grant Scheffer shared with me during our consultation. Grant never tried to force me to accept any sales pitch. I was immediately impressed that Grant walked down the outside of my house to verify any shading; he looked in the attic to ensure the structure could support the panels and electrical wiring could be installed and looked at my outside electrical boxes. Grant told me about the cash rebate that the panel company was offering. Grant offered state laws and information that help you to understand that is process is taken very serious by the electrical companies and the government. There is a lot of paper work involved in this process, along with engineering drawing. Columbia is only 50 miles (1-hour drive) from me so they are closer to get to me if I need repairs or equipment upgrade. I had two other quotes also. Grant had the same 310-volt panels as the other two sales reps from Charleston, SC and they were asking $35,000 for the same brand panels with no cash rebate. South Coast Solar had the same panels for $24,000 with the end of the year cash rebate from the solar panel company. The other two Charleston based companies were so overpriced. I asked Grant is there other voltage of panels about any other panel and he said yes. There was a 410-volt panel for about $3,000 more. I wanted a quote for those panels and those are the panels I chose. South Coast Solar offered a 25-year warranty on the solar panels and the labor. Other companies did not. The Better Business Bureau had the company listed with a very good rating and any complaints were resolved. (No business is perfect and as long as your customer service can work to appeal the customer, I can work with that.) South Coast Solar from Columbia, SC sent three installers, Stevie, Bennett, Chris and Steve to my house on Feb. 28, 2020 to install my 9.02kw system, 22 SunPower 410AC modules with SunPower monitoring. These four young men did an excellent job. They involved me in the entire process and explained everything to me as they installed various components and equipment. I received a really good education on solar panels. These young men were very polite and respectful. They never deviated from the engineering drawing even when I told them I approved of relocating a few solar panels to the other end of the house on the back. These young men take this process serious and they work by the laws that keep them safe and employed. I was truly impressed that another Master Electrician, Steve, showed up around 12:30pm to verify and ensure the work of the electrician and his wiring was in code and correct.

Amazing experience with California Solar. They are truly a professional, competent contractor. Exceeded all my expectations. Ellis was so easy to work with, very knowledgeable, knew his stuff, always helpful with the best follow- up customer service I have probably EVER received. The crew that installed our Solar were timely, neat and clean, reliable and hard working. I truly cannot say enough good things about this company. We have had many remodel projects and have never encountered such a well-run, start to finish operation. It went smoothly from start to finish, finished on-time and when we had questions, we always heard back from Ellis and California Solar in a timely manner. Not only is their work and product excellent their follow up and support after our system was up and running was super! A year after our system was installed Ellis called to check in and see how everything was working out for us. I have never experienced that type of customer service in the construction industry. They are a first rate company - hands down.

As far as the performance of our solar system - it was a 10. The downside is working with this company during a life event. We have provided all maintenance to our system at our own cost. We are now in the process of selling our home with the current set up and have received ZERO help. The phone number is AI only. They don't answer emails that we sent long before we even listed our home for sale. Theres no way to get a copy of our solar lease which we never received after digging through all the paperwork/emails provided to us. A total fiasco. We are a few weeks away from closing and the buyer may back out because of this hiccup.

I chose one star only because no stars was not an option. I assumed the lease of solar panels through SunPower and have nothing but headaches ever since. The panels were not working when I assumed the lease and are still broken 9 months later with no fix in sight. I have contacted them time and time again with resolution in sight. They have stopped providing any support other than, call these other solar providers for help. Assuming a solar power lease with sunpower was the worst decision of my life. They charge a 300 dollar fee if you want to refinance your home and delay the process by 30 days to do so. I would sooner shoot myself in the foot before agreeing to sign another lease with them.

Everybody was so responsive and the installation crew was great. The whole experience was wonderful. It took them a a day and a half to install. They were very organized and kept everything clean and neat the way that they were able to come through the roof. We don't have any like pipes or anything showing on the exterior of the house. It was a great experience.

The people that I dealt with were very personable and and knew their stuff. The app that they gave me seems to be working real well, so it's good. The company called me up, set up a date. The gentleman, four or five guys showed up, installed the solar panels. They started in the morning. They installed the solar panels and stopped around 2:00 o'clock and the electrician stopped a little after 5:00 with everything finished.

We always got Immediate response to our calls. Even if we called on a weekend day, we got responses right away. It went exactly as promised. The only the only unhappiness we had was how long it took the county to do its inspection then for our power provider excel to Install the and start the appropriate meter. It's producing power practically at it's rated maximum and we haven't had any problems with it in almost a year.

I am able to check on my phone, the app is great. It's easy to read, and user friendly. It's great. There was something kinda crooked and I called and they came out that day and fixed it right away. They were phenomenal with the follow-ups and they were able to help me out in a very fast pace. Everything was outstanding from the pricing to installation to follow up customer service, everything was just perfect

I had my system installed a year ago. Everything went as planned and inspections passed with no issues. For years I paid around $240.00 per month. Ever since the system went live, a few bills have not exceeded $60.00 due to cloudy and rainy weeks. However, the majority of the year was no electric bill at all. Several months I received credit towards my next month's bill due to excess electricity going back to the grid. I'm very satisfied with my system and happy with the Sunpower system and product.

The solar panels are amazing! They are lightweight and yet produce enough energy to keep my battery full, provide me a source of energy when the power is out and lower my energy bill with the solar energy they produce. I am "off grid" much of the time during the day. Love that the sun that God created is making sure I have power when the power goes out!

We have panels from both Sunpower and Tesla. Tesla has zero customer service and their billing tells me nothing. Sunpower's billing gives info one would expect and I can go on the app to see how much each panel is producing. I can see the panels production over the day, month, year & lifetime. They came back several times to adjust things that we never would have known about. On installation, they broke into our stucco as not to see the conduit and it was repaired beautifully. We're very pleased with them. Not pleased with Tesla, but we are stuck with them.

The installation of my system went smoothly and, so far, my system seems to be living up to my expectations. My system seems to be supplying the power to run my household, plus my local driving. I have a plug-in hybrid.
I didn't answer some of the questions in this survey, because I really didn't have experience to be able to answer. And the real answer to "What is the likelihood you would recommend SunPower to a friend? " is quite low because, my system has been on-line for a year and a half and no one has asked me about it.

Easy to work with, no surprises, system works great. They listened as we described what we needed. They handled the permits. Once the hardware was available, installation was quick. There was a delay for one part, but they were good about installing it once it arrived. We’ve had no issues with the system or the app. Our monthly utility bill is only gas now. Our first true-up for the electricity was a $500 credit!

Well, I was looking for solar and I searched out about 5 companies online and I spoke to like three of the five. Two I couldn't even get hold of. Jeff C. was just very knowledgeable and he pursued the job like a professional. I was impressed and working with them went smooth. When the electrician came out, they reviewed the meter and all that stuff. Told me a couple of things that had to be changed. They were real professional.

We love our panels and the electric we receive/produce. The quality of these panels is great. The drawback was we had a lot of questions, and after installation was complete, we saw or heard from no one. We tried to get a Tesla battery wall, but our salesman said they did not have or recommend. Then I see ads for Tesla Walls. We really have no idea of the functionality of the app, nor the solar power itself, and I tried to ask the electrician, but he spoke no English and I speak no Spanish.
Our power bill went from over $500-$600 to $37.50, the charge Duke Energy charges.
I would highly recommend SunPower and always do, just push for the power wall.

We haven't had any problems with it. Our bill has gone down tremendously, so we're very happy with the results. It's starting to get really sunny again and so this summer should be good with the solar. I don't believe it's faulty, I think everything's running perfectly. It went very quickly and effectively and thoroughly, and the people that came to install it were really nice. We just had a very great experience with the whole thing. The customer support that sun power provides is great.

I did have some issues with the modem inside the system and every time I called they knew what they were doing and they resolved the issue promptly. They were very organized. Install took about a day and everything was well done, professionally done. It was a high quality installation. It works well. I produce more than what I was expecting. The equipment is really of high quality.

The rep that came out, he explained everything and told me what was going, what would and be involved. Install went excellent. They were in and out, just like they said in a couple of days. I haven't had any problems with it and it's been a little over a year now. All the reps were excellent. They answered all my questions. It's definitely worth the money.

They did everything they said they were gonna do and came every time they said they were going to come. The project was completed with no problems. I was here while they did the work. I watched what they did and I saw no problems. They were very professional and they knew their job. I would recommend it to to anybody. I'm very happy with them.
I haven't had any trouble with it. Last year the system performed very well; it produced 80% of my electricity needs. I like the little Tesla app where I can watch the production of electricity during the day and what I'm using.

They answered all the questions that I had about solar. The installation process did hit a few bumps in the road, but they did get everything taken care of through the city and everything was squared away. 5 Its based on the latest and greatest new upgraded solar panels providing more wattage than the old panels, little thinner and more streamlined.

The longevity of the system is great, it has the lowest degradation in the market of the PV systems and their brackets are designed well. Very smooth, the representative explained exactly what they were there to do. They walked us through step by step, explained details what would happen next after the installation, and gave us all the information we needed to proceed. Very detailed. They explained the process. Great service.

I already see all the power I'm generating compared to what I'm using, it's awesome I'm very excited to save money. Super smooth, no problems whatsoever. It was all good. Everyone's been super friendly. They contacted me every step of the way letting me know what's going on. I never had to call them, they were always ahead of it. Very friendly and and they did what they said exactly.

I feel like I'm getting the best value for what I paid. The whole team was responsive. I had emailed questions about the app as far as being able to log in to and look at my efficiency of my solar panels and there was never a delay in getting emails back. Very commutative, always in touch. It's just an overall great experience. I'm glad I picked sun power. The guys were very fast with the install, efficient and no damage to the exterior. Very respectful of the fence, the gate with the dogs that we have. Very professional installation team.
