I gave 5* for the solar panels and accessories. The SunPower app, however, still needs a lot of work (although it has been more reliable lately)

I checked the first PG&E bill after installed and calculated. ROI is less than 10 years which I was told before installation.

I didn't deal with them directly but the company that did the installation is very professional. In my opinion they wouldn't use just any solar panel company.

There are too many times my app doesn't give me my info because the system is not functioning properly. If I delete the app and start over that usually gives me access again. Very awkward to do all the time.

Thank you! You're correct, we offer a best-in-industry 25-year power & product warranty that covers your entire solar system, unlike other companies who may have different warranties with different terms and may require you to work with multiple hardware companies.

We get more solar from a smaller grid of panels than any other vendor offered. Lease processing through or bank is seamless and works well

Thanks, Ken! Yes, our world record efficiency panels make more energy in smaller spaces, so they're great if you have a small roof or want a smaller solar footprint. Thanks for choosing SunPower.

Patrick Bonas Lancaster, CA

Installation took almost 2 years. Mostly due to engineering errors by sunpower. System fas been operational for 4 months. I paid for 32 425 panels and am expecting all 32 to work at optimum. Not what we are getting. 4 panels produce very low numbers because they were installed next to the chimney and are shaded. Another engineering error and when Ive requested they move them Sunpower tells me to hire someone and pay to move them myself!! I paid almost $50k cash for my system and their customer service is horrible. I have also contacted corporate and the never responded.

Sony Ta Los Angeles, CA

I can't speak to the product yet because they haven't completed the installation. For the reputation of SunPower and additional expense paid for the reputation and service, the installation so far has been a let down. We had 2 different site inspections to plan the installation for our house which we had to plan our FT jobs around. When the installers came last week, they were scheduled for Monday/Tuesday but by Tuesday, we were told the distance from the planned hub/battery to the electrical panel was "unexpectedly" long (how can that be after 2 site visits?) so would need to come back on Friday or following Monday to finish the electrical transfer. The team came on Wednesday to do some additional work and then came on Friday. On Friday, we were told that they were not ready to do the electrical transfer and we should plan to have it done Monday. On Monday, no one showed up and no one called. When I called SunPower, the CS rep reviewed the notes and said the Monday appt wasn't even listed. We have fulltime jobs where we have to coordinate in office or telework with our colleagues, work with a separate contractor for our house renovation we put on hold for the last 2 weeks, and also a large salt water aquarium so have been anxious about that and generator power for each of the days we were told to expect a power outage that didn't happen. I am now waiting for a 4th appointment for this electrical transfer. I was looking forward to this installation and was confident in SunPower but with this dragging on, it's rather disappointing.

Although I am satisfied with the product, the customer service is poor. went through 5 project coordinators and 10 months of delays for no apparent reasonable explanation before up and running. Biggest complaint was a false promo for a $1,000 gift card if you purchased/financed their system using their preferred financial partners, which I did. Made numerous complaints, was given a case number and after 15 months still getting nothing. Apparently the different departments do not have the ability to converse with each other and fix simple issues.

Barbara Beck Huntington Beach, CA

Took 6 months from starting to work on the Proposal to getting the system installed. Getting them to fix the broken monitoring system took 2 months and they said that I wouldn't lose the previous months of data, but I did. 30 days after initial install your only option is to go through their customer service. That required hours on hold and repeated phone calls. It was epic getting them to fix a system that was installed 4 months earlier! This is my second SunPower system. I wanted to replace my older string inverter system which was SunPower equipment. From the beginning of the process (not my first time putting in a solar system!) it was difficult to get them to figure out I wanted my older system removed and a newer micro inverter system installed. It's like they just weren't setup to handle that. Good thing I'm educated and can read drawings! The first solar system from initial meeting to install, took less than 2 months using a Solar Contractor. I never expected this to take so long. I will say I was very pleased with the financing option!

Cheryle Seattle, WA

My install was great by Power Trip in Port Townsend, WA. My energy production seems good, but therein is the problem. Sunpower's website/App production information is almost useless. The monthly reports are often without compete data, last month or last year production #s don't match the reports given for those months when they were current and I have to cobble together information to see what's happening, mostly relying on my power company's reports. My installer has repeatedly contacted Sunpower with my and other of their customers' concerns and so far no evidence of an accurate website or app portrayal of what's going on with my system. I should be able to see real time and historic #s that are consistent and accurate and I don't.

My system was installed just yesterday, my system has even been released by my local utility yet, but I had to comment on the installation team.

Very impressed with the SunPower panels at 22% efficiency and 420W per panel. And their long-term guarantee of continued efficiency. I presume their copper backing will lead to promised longevity. The SunPower app lets me easily monitor exactly how each panel is performing.

Everthing works great. The app is easy to use and see what is going on. My system produces double the power I need at cheaper rates than the utility company. However I was told when I was buying the system that the utility company would pay me a marginal amount on the power I put into the grid. But they do not. So now I wish I had gotten a smaller and cheaper system.

The equipment is performing wonderfully. My concern is that with a loan to pay for the panels it really doesn't offer any benefit cost wise since the loan payments cover the saved cost of using solar. Even if I had bought the equipment the payback time is very long.

Like: Told all parts are made in the USA Dislike: I have submitted previous survey and strongly suggested developing a customer liaison service between the customer who purchases SunPower products and the locality electric providers. Getting people to contribute "to" the grid should be a huge selling point between SunPower and the electric company and the shear volume would create a SunPower Liaison with bargaining ability in our behalf.

I like the fact that the panels are made in the USA. Renova was wonderful to work with. I like the fact that roofing was done in house and not subbed out. Time will tell how well they stand behind their product. So far, so good. Generation is consistent with the predictions made...I like what I see on the SCE bills so far!
