After interviewing several companies, I was most happy with the proposal SunPower gave me. I was always informed on all the steps that goes into having the panels working and I was happy with their professionalism. The package I received from SunPower was the best one out of several companies I reviewed. Thank you

Project took longer than expected after panels were installed. Seemed to be some mix ups in putting in new electric box. However i was impressed with the quality of the new box and the entire system. Staff were always 100% professional. Enjoying the app on a daily basis.

Gerald Ott Avon Park, FL

In 2010 but we had SunPower installed and were very happy with the system. August 2018 we had a failure of the inverter which was replaced in September but it was not compatible with the new inverter. After monitoring the system for several weeks, we noted the system was not operating at the correct watts. It was producing less than half of the power. I contacted Alternative Energy and they came to the same conclusion. I have side by side comparisons of monthly statements from Duke Energy of six consecutive months which proves our point. Alternate Energy checked out the panels and came to the conclusion that the panels have several faults in them. They (Alternate Energy) informed us that Sun Power was not willing to live up to the warranty that was presented to me at the sale which states a 10 year limited warranty.

This is my 3rd year working with Sun Power, last year I was shock when PGE pool over $800.00 from my account as a result of not enough power that I had requested originally they suggested 40 panels I requested more so it was added 5 more that should be more then enough will delivery 2500 KW. I replied I don't want to get a bill from PGE I was assure no bill will come, 1 cottage in my property is not in use yet . I just cant imagine , so I contacted Sun Power their suggestion add more panels or buy another system ? if had known this purchase is the way to go, do to the prices on energy cost . I inquiry about battery same company and they don't offer batteries backed. But they are in training to offer it soon. System works fine just did not delivery as promise . PANELS AMERICAN MADE ? I was told they are made in china it had sing on the panels. So I hope the ones been installed now are AMERICAN MADE.

This is my second property that SunPower installed the solar system. No hidden thing, I am happy with the system production although I still have to pay a few $$ for electricity to PG & E. SunPower also provided a rebate refund $1000 for being a Triple A member. SunPower's contracted installer also applied the $2421 San Francisco City reward. I received both rebate funds.

I install a 17 panel, 5.86 kW (DC), 5.13 kW (AC), system. We decided to go for SunPower because their system needs less panel, but produce more power than other vendors' systems. Last Aug/Sept, we have no guilt to turn on the AC 24/7 daily. I used to pay $300ish for my power bill. I am going to break even in 5 years.

It was great.. They paid ME about $1000 to install it [4 years ago,lease] -it produces 97% of our total household energy needs [inc hvac, hot water, stove, cars, etc] and saves us about $250/mo. No equipment failures after 4 years -it just silently does its job. Biggest no-brainer of my life.

Our 1st year anniversary just passed, very, please. The power calculations, and performance of the panels, provided 100% of our usage from August 2016 to July of 2017. Actually, we overproduced by 300 Kwh. (Which I don't recommend, having a system larger than usage, not cost-effective.) Installation went as planned, very professional. No Leaks, Northern Cal had a very wet 16/17 winter. We lost internet service for 1 day and was contacted by SunPower since they could not see the power generated. 25 year warranty Parts & Labor.

I purchased my system, as it seemed to be the cheapest and most advantageous. I have 33 panels with an 11.8kwP potential output and based on the shade that comes from trees near me we get 10 with peak sun. Service has been excellent from installation to followup service with the monitoring platform. Best product we could find on the market, coupled with good service from installation to problem solving. Would recommend to anyone who needs or wants solar.

Have had the system install and producing since March of 2012. I have kept month by month records since I have lived in the house. Central California is hot in the summer and my average monthly bill prior to the installation was $393 (that was over a 5 year period). After the installation the average cost per month was $110 a month.

My installation was done in September 2016 and have averaged an electric bill of $13 per month from my electric company. I am saving an average of $75/month.

The system works flawlessly and I cant wait to see what will happen in the summer with the central air and pool filter on.

For overall customer satisfaction, SunPower is the best company. The warranty is the best by far and the dealer network in northern CA are the best.

I have had very good experiences with Sun Power. They made an appointment to come see me to do a site survey. I messed up and didn't answer the door. So the poor guy had to come back. He was very nice about it. Didn't lay a guilt trip one me. Their panels have a very good efficiency rating. A plane using their panels is currently flying around the world.

Aaron Becraft Salt Lake City, UT

Our 1st meeting, the rep showed up 1 hr late. They told us 6p, but he was told 7p. The contract was not the same as the estimate and it took a couple hrs of our Rep going back and forth with the contract department to get numbers right. In the end, the estimate had the numbers that were wrong and the actual monthly payment was over 20% higher. Most people would not be OK with that, but I already knew I wanted solar and I really liked our sales rep, Austin. Install was flawless and quick and clean. They cleaned up as though they were never there. The city inspector showed up without us knowing he was coming and Blue Raven showed up 20 mins later with all the paperwork he needed. That was the only full breakdown in communication with us and had we not been home at that moment, it would have set the whole process back another week. From start to finish, it seems like it takes forever, but understanding all the processes helps you understand that it really went fast. At the end of the day, was this the perfect experience from start to finish, no, but I hands down would recommend Blue Raven Solar and I am very happy we chose to stay with them. Thanks, Aaron

Great company for solar installation. This was done in Portland metro area, and installation, support, and service teams were all wonderful. BRS was completely competitive in pricing and product and beat out other companies I was looking at. Installation took 1 day for 17 panels and I was producing electricity within 2 weeks of installing. They were able to draw up and update the solar plan several times to meet my requests and were very understanding when it came to me comparing with other companies. My experience with BRS was without any issues, and a pleasure to have gone through.

It's has been a great experience so far. We just passed our city and county inspections. We even went through a wind storm recently and the solar panels didn't budge or make any noise being on the roof. We love the design and new look of the panels compared to older ones. Currently waiting for the power company to come out and do their part of switching out the meter. Everyone so far has been really fast on getting us set up. Looking forward to our panels being turned on.

After doing a lot of research we decided to contact Blue Raven Solar to discuss getting solar panels. Having financing within the company was a plus because we wouldn’t have to go with a different finance company. We were told that Solar panels were not a good candidate for are home. Are home is a older home and we don’t have direct sun light long enough to get full use for the panels. They saved us a lot of money by being so honest with us. For that reason I would recommend contacting this company if you are thinking going Solar.
