Dolores Earnest Ephrata, PA

I signed up for solar panels on December. I’ve had nothing but bad feelings about this since. We thought the panels has been turned on weeks ago, now I find out they were just turned on on Saturday. Not only that but only 18 were working when they were turned on. I’m still wAiting for someone to call me or come to the house to set up the program on my computer so I can keep track of how much power we’re making and using. I think it’s generous to give you a 3.

Waltg Stockton, CA

For the past week or so now I’ve been trying to get in contact with them about my bill. Seems like when I call it says there busy and I could wait on the phone or press 1 for someone to call me back. I’ve done both and still no response. So my question is I get an email stating I’m enrolled in the auto pay and every month on such n such date it’s going to be taken out my bank account. It still hasn’t been taken out. Then like I stated I call customer service and there’s nobody there to answer my call. My solar came with the house when I bought it. Had I known I was going to be dealing with B.S I wouldn’t had agreed to it 😡😡.

Lenhoyt Methuen, MA

We purchased our home in August 2017 and assumed the Sunnova lease with 23 years remaining. We’ve been satisfied with our system production, which generated enough credit with National Grid to carry us through last winter in the northeast with no electric bill and reasonable lease payments. But our system stopped working around April first. I didn’t realize it until early June because we were drawing down credits and I wasn’t paying attention. I called Sunnova and was told they knew I had a problem and there has been a ticket open since April 17th!! I’ve since emailed them twice and got a single response saying a technician will be contacting me. They’ve known I’ve been down and have had a job ticket open for two months and no one has contacted me! Two stars for system performance, but very disappointed in customer service.

Sunnova installed my solar system in 2015, it has operated well and they repaired the hurricane damage in December 2017 after hurricane Maria. Because of the lack of a reliable grid I have added a battery backup pack which should be installed in the next 30-60 days.

Jessi Kennedy Livermore, CA

Install of the system from V3/Sunnova went fast and easy. However, once I got the go-ahead from PG&E to operate, it worked for a day, then I guess it stopped. I had no idea and it took Sunnova 4 weeks to contact V3. Customer service at Sunnova was completely lacking and all I got was that the development team was fixing bugs with the app. I got it working again, but a day later it stopped transmitting data, but still generating power. Billing.. I have no idea what is going on. As of now, if I were to get solar panels again, I'd go elsewhere. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 is the install and set-up was good.

I Purchased a home that had a Sunova system installed before we bought and I assumed the lease . It has been three years since we purchased a home and we now need a new roof and when I contacted Synovus I was told the cost of removing the panels and putting them back up is over $4000 ! That is going to make my roof replacement a $12-$15,000 proposition not counting gutters , which have been damaged by snow sliding off the solar panels. I almost wish I hadn’t purchased this home

They take a long a long time ( setting dates after previous visits) to get things set up , actually the structural part was set up but the hookup takes a while and our yard looks like crap thanks to them. its been over 2 months maybe three we nave been waiting for them to finish the job. They show us a rating off five stars from their brochure. The people that set up the panels were very kind, but it's all a matter of tome when the inspector gets there to approve the work which is about a months wait another crew shows up a couple weeks later to install panels boxes for electrical. Were still waiting since early April it is now July.

Not really happy with this company at the moment. I am trying to deal with this company to pay them . But because my husband is on the loan from them they will not help me out. Never mind that he has gave them authorization more than several times to talk to me. It is very frustrating. I will say that the lady that was on the phone with me when I went off was very professional. (It wasn't her fault-so I apologized). On the system. It is not producing as much as I would like. Still getting electric bills.

We have had the system on our roof for one year now. The sales department was great, quick and easy installation. But after having it for a while and seeing our bills and the constant fight with DWP the solar co. has been no help. There customer service sucks!!!! They told me to call DWP if I had a problem with the bill. They do not listen or call you back. I really need help with getting thru to them that they are over charging me for the service, it does not cover my bill and I am still getting charged from DWP. I am actually paying more now then before we go solar. So I say it is a rip off I would not do it again. If I could take it off and throw it in the alley I would.

I like the fact that I'm helping the environment. The only thing I'm not happy with is the increase each year. It won't be long and I won't have any savings from the panels. They will end up being more expensive than the electricity payments.

Customer service is responsive. My system works well and was well designed. As long as the sun is shining (in the late spring and summer months), I save a lot of money, but during the winter season not so much. But that is probably more a review of solar in general than it pertains to this company.

I should have been warned that there was no space left for cleaning under the panels, which has caused fungus and vegetation beneath them. The problem can be solved by having 8 panels moved to another location. This would allow me space to clean and remove the fungus and vegetation. I need Sunnova to correct the problem. I don't know what the movement would require; therefore, Sunnova would have to inspect the area.
