This company charges a lot more than they are worth. The salespeople didn't tell the truth about what you would get from the solar panels, and instead of saving money, it has cost me more.

Definitely not recommend! They say one thing the first week but then they come back after 3 months saying “Sorry but your system hasn’t been approved, you need sign more via docsign” No supervision and customer service at all. Costco must do something!

we were told there would be "no monthly cost" to lease the panels for 20 years, that all expenses would be paid to install, that it would all be free. Once they get you hooked, they run your credit. Why run credit if its "Free" ? this company is endorsed as a vendor thru ComEd, so no respect for them either.

Reply from Sunrun

Hello Mark, thank you for your communication. Keep in mind that the size of your utility bill is based on your usage. If your bill is higher than last year, you may be using more power than last year. Since your Sunrun rate is lower than that of your utility, that means you'd be paying even more for your current usage without solar. In other words, you're still saving. Remember that solar is seasonal. The panels will produce more during the sunnier months and less during the winter. Over the course of 12 months, you will still be saving. While Sunun takes care of system insurance, maintenance and production, Sunrun’s warranty does not cover wildlife issues. If you’re interested, we can recommend a local partner of ours in your area who offers a service to install a critter guard around the perimeter of the array to prevent animals from getting under the panels.

Hello,

Solar costs have declined significantly, and are at their lowest point in over 30 years. Solar is now more affordable than ever and advances in technology have improved system quality and design.

On average the total cost of solar installation can be between $15,000 to $29,000 for average sized systems sized between 4kW and 8kW.2 Sunrun solar lets you get started for as little as $0 down and helps you lower your electric bill.

If you want to own your system, we do that too.
