We bought Sunpower through Baker Solar Electeic. Besides the fact that it took Sunpower 8 months to fully repair our system when a defective panel broke, we discovered the upper row of panels shades the lower row of panels. Neither Baker nor Sunpower stands by the warranty to correct the ridiculously poor workmanship.

Be careful before you take any decision. I have in my house and I am paying every month but I am not getting any credit of solar on my electric bill. I called so many times to sunpower the CUSTOMER SERVICE is very very poor and they are very rude. They didn't resolve my problem and I am still struggling. BE CAREFUL BEFORE YOU TAKING ANY DECISION. this is the most worst company I ever saw.

I entered into a contract with SunPower through Better Solar Solutions in early July. I was told it would take 4 to 6 weeks to complete the project. The salesman convinced me that I should do the project in 2020 so that I could get the current tax credit. It is now the end of 2020 and the project is still not complete. I would not recommend using the company without a guarantee on timing. I am beyond disappointed with the execution of my project!

Have heard of sunpower faulty microinverters? Sunpower installed me faulty microinverters back in 2016 and did not inform me about the issue until several years passed by. Yes, they replaced the faulty inverters after i complained for paying high trueups several years. They offered me some $198 compensation for the days of loosing the production. That is rather an insult for me knowing they sold me faulty product. So watchout for sunpower.

This is my second house with Sunpower. They used to be great. Now calls go through a foreign call center and repair work is subcontracted. But their original installer can't get their attention either. The microinverters in my 4 year old panels failed in early April. They sent a crew in late May but that crew said they's have to send a different crew with different tools. Now I leave voicemail messages and get the same response: they will contact me when they are ready. Something terrible happened to a formerly good company and I'm ready to go to court.

Doug Haines Beavercreek, OR

My solar system has been installed for 9 years; it included SunPower Panels organized into two sections, each of which is connected to a SunPower Labeled Inverter. The panels have worked well so far, but both Inverters have died. SunPower has declined to honor their warranty. A review of the Better Business Site indicates the SunPower Warranty is not worth much because they have a variety of ways to avoid honoring it. Delaying their response is a common one. Their panels are good. Their business ethics leave a lot to be desired.

Piece of crap company. Once getting my load controller installed I had to turn it on and off to be able to have my dryer work. This was before the system was activated. Then I had to turn the controller off to have heat, hot water, dryer, stove working in my house. I had to pay for an internet upgrade and now having to look into pest control issues with pigeons and mites because the company wants me to now pay for bird netting through them or I void my warranty.

I have sent the company a request for help , since December our system is not functioning, I tried again last week and nobody has reached out to me.

Horrible commitment to customers. Purchased my system as a part of my new home in 2008. 25 year warranty! EXCEPT that the inverter (which I now find out has a 10 year warranty) failed this year and the entire system is now useless. There is no replacement for the inverter and I can not get SunPower to give me any help at all in finding a solution. In fact, I find that SunPower has closed my case filed with them both without advising me and giving me an alternative solution. Customer service is non existent on an over $20K investment which is now totally worthless.

The panels are great, as was the installer, Blue Selenium on Cape Cod. The customer service from Sunpower, however, stinks. Two microinverters went down in August. Three months later, and numerous requests later, I still do not have a date when they will be fixed. Customer service is 0 stars, performance of the panels is great when they work.

Our solar has been down going on two months. we've been told by the contractor that Sunpower would be contacting us directly to send a person out figure out why the system is not producing. That was two weeks ago. After one week of not hearing from them, I called them. I was told I would be receiving a call and now its been two weeks and still nothing. I am now paying for a system that doesn't work and also a PG&E bill.

System worked for 5 months then went down. It's now 3+ months later and the system still isn't working. And after MULTIPLE trips by SunPower they still have no idea what's wrong or how to fix it. Customer support is pretty much useless and the field technicians sent out have no idea what they're doing. I would never, ever recommend SunPower to anyone.

We want an in person check of the system and panels, which the company would never give us when we requested this in the past. I am trying to get in touch with the rep who was very helpful four years ago, but my email was returned.

While solar power is a great idea, the solar companies are incredibly misleading and greedy. I was promised my average yearly electric would be lower but instead I have four months out of the year that are any savings at all, the rest of the year my electric bill almost doubles. And there is no way out of this contract, so I'm stuck with a solar bill that goes up every year on top of my electric bill.

I have converter failed, call the company they can’t give me the date because it on back order. I call Baker electronic get the same answer. I read the contract, all it mention is “if something goes wrong the solar can’t give out the amount they promise then they will give you 15 cents per KLW that they under produce. SDGE charge me wayyyy more than 15 cents. I will continue to wait until they give me new converter. Now I have two Bill to pay. One from SDGE $400 and the other one from the solar company $254.
