Buyer beware! Don’t buy or lease in Southern California. Our leased solar system modem has been down for a couple months. We have called soooo many times to have it fixed but nothing happens. It’s very upsetting!!! Save your self some time and grief and choose a different company that actually takes care of their customers.

I've have been having a horrible experience with this company. 4 months and still can't use these panels yet I'm already paying for them and I have to pay my light bill. They still have not reimbursed me and they do not keep me updated with anything. I wish I would have never done business with this company.

After paying extra for SunPower, believing it to be a quality product, we were mislead to think we could monitor the panels individually. Every other company offers this feature. Sun Power does not. It is not worth the extra money if you cannot accurately track the performance of such an expensive system. Buyer beware.

I am frustrated that I can’t even get someone out here to tell me why or explain what they think the problem is

Reply from SunPower

Hello Mr. Becker, I'm understand your frustration. The determination on what makes a good candidate for solar is based on several factors. Factors like Shading from trees or other obstructions, or the amount of daylight time in your area. Each of our authorized dealer creates their own form of determination. It appears that you were working with Certasun LLC. SunPower is not involved with their determination process and has no visibility to that information. I would advise that you contact your sales representative for more details.
