I really don't know how to answer this. I started my solar journey with Trinity Solar. They made the transition easy.
Now that the system is fully installed and functional, Sunnova has the reins.
Don't know much of anything about Sunnova, so I'll leave it at that.

Sunnis may be good but this whole solar experience has been a nightmare!! It’s been almost 2 years since we started - they bid out system too small to accommodate what we needed we purchased the first 17 panels - they put part of them too near a tree and they get shaded- I voiced my option many times knowing my yard and the trees I have in my yard - many of the panels we purchased with hard earned money are not producing as they should !!! We are not happy at all !!!

Initial visit by Sunnova engineer was impressive. Immediate illustrations and good explanations. V3 Electric technicians were very mindful and friendly. PG&E was predictably slow in approvals.

we had out solar up and running end of Dec 2023 well come July to now we have had increasing FPL last one 379 and constant problem with the panels and they never honored that they said i would not get bills like that due to their faulty equipment so untop of my solar bill i have paid addition 200 to 379 FPL bill for the last 6 months and before I have 77 panels and we installed hurricane proof window
and doors. It has been their equipmane and then the solar edge app it never now shows what solar is going to the FPL for net metering. I will never recomment them the don't care no calls and follow up last time the one invertor box was in sleep mode.

Sales representative explained everything to my satisfaction! Install technicians were in and done in record time! One drawback, would have preferred conduit to be run through the attic and remain unsightly!

I’ve had a rather frustrating experience with Sunnova solar panels. They subcontract the installation company Freedom Forever, and unfortunately, Freedom Forever has made a few mistakes. They’ve installed the panels on the wrong side of the roof, despite the panels producing electricity as expected. When I reached out to Sunnova to express my concerns, they suggested I contact Freedom Forever. However, Freedom Forever then redirected me back to Sunnova, leaving me feeling stuck and uncertain about how to proceed. I’ve decided to seek legal advice to explore my options and find a resolution to this issue. Don’t go with Sunnova.

Well I send an email and called my sales person the email never were answered the sales person was busy and should call me back when she have a moment been more than a week ! First after installation the system didn't pass inspection than they showed up in the morning not even call to tell me anything the inspector came again same morning he was upset because the repairs should be done before not in the same moment than I claimed to the attic and found they removed the insulation to run the wires and never put them back also when they installed the solar panels the 4 inches screws instead of go in the beams they just perforated the roof leaving a dangerous spot so now to move around got to becareful with my head ! I asked to the sales person about the edge of the panels because the guy replaced my gutters tell me they are to close to the edge when snow comes down off the panels they will take the gutters down or damage them ! I got an email from sunnova telling my system was canceled so now not sure what is going on with it also I asked how I know my system is working or production because isn't any meter on the electrical box I have my old system from Sunrun and the meter shows everything and is 10 years old so no body come and give me guidance about this no calls no nothing I answered the text message from them about the survey and didn't answer either! So what happens you get the system installed like crap and not even have the decency of call to schedule to review with a costumer! I tough this company will be better than Sunrun because of sales person but the way I see is the same garbage

My friend referred me and was told she and whom she refers will get rewarded (1k). That was a lie. I didn’t get anything because it wasn’t “offered” when I signed but I got an email for that month about the same reward.
Installment was a mess, people drove in my yard despite having a long driveway open to use and side of the road. They were scheduled to come 8-9am, but showed up a little before 7am. Was told power would be off 6-8hrs so I took off work to accommodate and they never needed to turn it off. I wasted my annual time at work for no reason.
The installment resulted in my year old roof leaking and it was extremely difficult getting any responses to help as I have water coming through. They tried to blame my roofing company, despite they just installing it and then having the problem (if my roofing company messed up, it would have leaked prior to this installation especially with the several storms we had with downpouring).
Communication was poor and the manager Justin just ignores it.
I feel like I made the worst decision of my life with this company.

Every one of my calls goes to a central call center where the representatives are very nice but they cannot schedule appointments, answer any questions, and no one ever calls me back when I ask them to have a supervisor respond to me. They make appointments without checking with the homeowner, and I only find out about them if I call and they randomly happen to have scheduled one.

They are rude. They are unwilling to help except to say that you are under contract. They are unwilling to compromise or let you speak to support personnel or a supervisor, saying they will call you back within 2-3 business days. They refuse to accept accountability for unresolved issues. They have no real concept of true communication siting that all issues are going to be resolved accordingly and then no one ever calls you back unless YOU call back several times and then they call but it will always come back to your error in communication or non communication with them. You are under contract is all they site on any and all issues.

While the sales team and install teams were fantastic, the administrative personnel in the background were completely oblivious. My panels and service were installed over 45 days before they obtained all the needed documentation from my township and from Met-Ed. When trying to contact that department for updates or resolve, all they offered was “we’re waiting for approval to turn your service on”. This should all have been completed prior to the install or nearly at time of install.

I liked professionalism and helpfulness of all people who were involved in the process start to finish, I dislike you being inaccurate about certain things, not the people, the company, where you promised to have a comprehensive app that show production AND consumption of power for my house but it turned its an optional hardware I’d be paying extra for on your website and it rubs me off the wrong way when things like that happens so you either include everything in the system or you make it very clear about the optional things you guys offer through an automated email or text or mail etc…

You need to find installers that give a damn about what they’re doing!!
There are people that have had the panels sitting in their driveways for months, some with panels installed but not hooked up and no idea when they’re going to!! These installers are representing Legacy, and giving you a really bad name.
I was lucky enough to have Trevor V as a representative that gave a damn!! I have a couple issues right now that he working on now, but not everybody was that lucky.
Kudos to Trevor Legacy NEEDS new installers!!

I purchased ADDITIONAL solar panels AND a battery from Sunnova and once everything was connected, my PG&E bill SIGNIFICANTLY increased. I sent am email to Sunnova customer service AND the CEO (John Berger) and they basically told me there was nothing they can do for me. They haven't even tried to determine what the cause of the increase was in my PG&E bill. I have been trying to do my own research and present them with my findings. This is a horrible company that will say whatever they need to to get you to buy from them but will not offer any support for issues that arise after the installation in complete. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!
