CARY BLASINGAME Fairfield, CA

They were just 5! Very clear information and everything went exactly as they said. No issues at all! Love that their panels each have it's own inverter instead of only one for the whole system. Also love the 25 year parts and labor warranty.

the entire experience from planning to financing to service has been so easy and very thorough. The staff is knowledgeable with a ton of information valuable to the consumer. Our system is almost nonexistent because of the great design the team utilized in set up. I have already suggested the system to several neighbors in the area close to us.

Their panels are super tough/strong/resistant to damage, and they have an amazing warrantee - parts and labor (and even disposal of any defective componants) on all componants except 1 minor piece (which has a 10 year warrantee) for 25 years. And the warrantee is transferable to new owners.

I talked to 1k+ homeowners with solar from various companies. Some companies were hit or miss, others plain terrible but Sp customers always had great things to say about the quality of the install, warranty, and system production.

We worked with Solar Hut in Placerville. They were incredible. The planning, installation, and follow up was wonderful. No detail was missed. Great folks to work with. The Sun Power product has worked as promised. Their app allows us to monitor the output very easily.

Stands behind their product. They were easy to get a design and quote and they stuck to the schedule and completed install on time. Their warranty is better than anyone else and they communicated all aspects of the project in a professional and very timely manner. I wish I had done this sooner.

Good quality and workman ship. Has lowered my electric bill to $16.43 a month. This is the lowest I can pay because you have to pay rent for the meter and the cable lines. You do have to add the sunpower service fee mine is ,$83, I'm very happy with the results

So far the system is operating fine. I had one day when the light on the inverter control panel was red instead of cyan. It corrected itself. It occurred before moving into the the new home so I didn't have internet access yet so I couldn't check the status on line. Which is my one complaint, the system doesn't provide a means to see how each panel is doing, it just provides the overall power capability, not at the panel level.

I'm extremely happy with the system and the product seems really good. The installation went good and they did everything on time. They did an extremely good job on the installation. The panels look good on the house and the system gives feedback onto our computer for monitoring the solar power.

Their customer support is in contact with me from time to time, but I think they could be a little better at that. The installation was done in the summer and it took about two months to be completed when originally they said it'd take 7-10 days. My energy bill was negligent, and now the bill is $0, so it's been a big blessing.

We've only been paying the PG&E service fee of $10 since 2019. It was a little rough at the start because our installer had to come back several times but we had a good Rep (Tyler) at Hooked on Solar and so things were addressed as quickly as possible.

The sales people, installers and support person did an outstanding job however the quality of the staff that handled our payment was far from excellent - Twice we were told that checks were not received when we had notification that, in fact, they had been. This has caused us to have to go through considerable effort to provide evidence that the checks were cashed. On the first check Sunpower discovered their mistake, don't know yet about the second.

SunPower's local installer in the San Bernardino/Riverside area was fantastic. The customer service pre-installation was great, their installers were very good and even the follow-up has been excellent. Not to mention, the SunPower panels are some of the best, if not the best, in the industry.

I chose SunPower for my residential solar system because they make long-lasting, high-quality panels with the best efficiency rating in the industry. I also like their integrated approach to system design, in which they manufacture and use all of their own components.

High quality panels have been producing as quoted for over a year, the monitoring system installed not only shows production but also home usage, during the quoting and installation process I had a lot of questions and South Coast Solar was incredibly responsive and made extra trips to my home to connect the system in the way I requested.

The SunPower app does not work properly since installation approx 4 months ago. We constantly receive error messages about Wifi connection; slow data transmission; etc. We are unable to see true stats for ourself so every month we have to wait for our electricity bill to confirm the system is truly working. We like to see our own stats in real time, which is what we were told we'd be able to do. When we call the SunPower customer service number we're referred to our installer. The installer has come out to check our unit multiple times, they contacted SunPower about the issue but are uncertain when the app will function properly. This app situation with no solution in sight is not ideal and we feel like we have been taken advantage of. We were told we'd be able to monitor our unit, but we cannot.

In some form or another I have had solar with Sun Power panels for the last 15+ years. Both purchase and lease. So far I have never been disappointed. The panels hold there efficiency very well. My first system I kept track of for close to 14 years, before I moved and the output was still 95%+. The lease I have now fits my lifestyle very well.

Easy to work with in the planning stages. Great coordination with the City for Permit Inspections. Smooth, clean installation. The only delay was PG&E's acceptance and connection which SunPower had no control over. Plus, all is working well and meeting my needs.

Believe we got superior Solar panels from SunPower that looks good, performs outstanding, and awesome monitoring app. The only "ding" is the high cost of panels, but I figured I'm in this for the long term and felt we will reap higher reward when it gets to 15, 20, 25 years old.

I loved the sales team (Alex) from the Orlando Home Improvement show. On site the day of install and solved an issue when the installers put screw in out newly installed metal roof. Now several months into the install and operation they change their billing, out sourced, to another company. Now it is our problem to change and setup our automatic payments to another company. And guess what, to start out we are late in making payments. No the automatic payment out of our credit union cleared on 7/10/2024 the payment due date. Sunpower has no idea where it is. Awesome transition SUNPOWER!!!! YOU ARE RIGHT THERE WITH THE BULLSHIT SOLAR COMPANY WE HAD IN CALIFORNIA, Green day. AT THIS POINT DID NOT THINK ANYONE COULD MATCH THEIR INEPT ABILITIES.

The company had good intentions always trying to get the job done, but due to unforeseen difficulties with the city, we were delayed several months. So that was frustrating and that really took a toll because it took a long time. Install itself went very professionally and quickly.

Since the installation, it's been really clearly performing well for me in terms of output generated and what I'm actually getting. So that's been very, very satisfactory. I think the installation process itself went very well and the only caveat was cleanup could have been better.

It works well. My only complaint is I supposedly installed 150% on my roof and I barely broke even. I would say to anyone installing solar, install more than you think you’re going to need. I also noticed the app can be a little finicky at times other than that works great.

John Madera, CA

Customer service and communication before and during our install was horrible. We never heard or saw our sales person again, even after multiple calls and messages. It's all about the money, just like all the other companies out there selling solar. It took forever for our install to happen and we kept getting lied to about the permits etc. The first try at putting our structure up was unapproved by the county and told to take down and rebuild as it was all incorrect. We still have a long trench that wasn't filled in correctly and has now sunken into our yard. Dirt was promised to be tapped down so this wouldn't happen. There was also a huge misunderstanding about the tax "rebate". It isn't a rebate, it is a tax credit, which means we have to come up with the cash to put on our loan so our payments don't go up. For all the money we have invested in our system, the customer service was not matching. Our system seems to be doing the job but we overbuilt our system and thank goodness for that because if we wouldn't have and gone by what was recommended, I'm sure we would still have a PG&E bill monthly.
