Loved the overall experience from the beginning to end of the process. Was always kept updated throughout the process and employees were very informative and helpful. The work from installation to completion was excellent.

Sunrun promised to give me a solar solution that would charge my EV, provide power to the entire house when the grid went down, and replace my electricity bill completely. It does about half of the things that were promised. I am now stuck on the hook to pay for a system that can charge my EV, supplies power during outages as long as the air conditioner isn't running, and generates power when the sun is out but doesn't carry over the excess from uptime. I feel like I was sold a promise that wasn't delivered

I had a great experience with SunPower. Very high quality panels, excellent warranty, and great savings compared to what I’m paying for with the utility. Given SunPower has been in business for decades, I feel very comfortable using their products.

They never told us that when we need power such as after hurricane it’s automatically turned off. SUNPOWER doesn’t work without the Internet. save your money buy a whole house Generac. at least then when you need power, you have it. all we have now is an $81,000 bill
