3 Months to fix a downed inverter with no Compensation... Imagine your car was in the shop for 3 months with no loaner while on lease? Worst. Customer. Service. Ever!

Our panels stopped functioning and they continued to charge me without coming to fix them for 9 months. Their customer service is awful. They send you around in circles to the point my senior father was in near tears.

In 2017, no solar data for 4 months. I had to pay PGE extra bill $1131.90. In 2016, no data on Aug. In 2018, no data for hours a day sometimes. Broken tiles left on the roof for years.

We are very happy with SolarCity's solar. Our SDG&E bill went from $216.00 to $10.00 credit each month.

Do not buy from Solar City/Tesla. I did and I got screw on the deal. They lie about the tax credit of 30%, never got it. Try talking to them and did no good. There are better company's out there.

SolarCity Failed to communicate when their product Stopped working. It took them over 200 days to tell us that our panels stopped working. We ended up with $1700 true-up. Now they wont take any responsibility!

Stay away from this company! No customer service, unknowledgeable, and refuse to talk to you when attempting to remove solar panels from property. I had to get an attorney just in order to remove their solar panels.

Experienced long delays when system is down since they have NO Inventory on hand. From the call "there is no power" to the final working fix can be months!

PPA is a great option for me, especially on a rental unit. Solar City covered most of the cost of roof repairs too.

Was told by solor city that if my system proved to be too small that could add pannals to it. That turned out to be a lie. They only can install a completely separate system,

Lame. They have no plan to install batter back up units. They have been promising this for years, and now "it's on hold indefinitely." Don't go with Solar City. Unless you want to be left in the dark.

They sold me a system that was way to small for my home and did not produce enough power to cover 1/7 of my monthly consumption. Costumer service did apologies but now I'm stuck in a 18yr contract. They SUCK!!

Solar city has a misleading sales practice and they lie about what will really cost the consumer with and without solar energy. Consumers should get together for a class action lawsuit.

I try to get solar panel for my house from solar city they talk good game but when comes down to find out if you could have the panels. Solar City will not approve you if you do not have good credit score.
