TJ Lake Havasu City, AZ

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.

They have been 100% as they promised. I've had two issues over the past year, and they fixed/responded right away. I daily/monthly/yearly monitor the output (I am obsessed with spreadsheets) and every number is as promised or slightly better!

Happy solar person Fairfield, CA

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.

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.

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.

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.

Installation was rough. It required multiple visits the first day and it required multiple scheduling attempts, mostly because the dispatch team would not call and would only text for some weird reason to try to schedule the installation. The technology is awesome, the equipment is great, and it produces power, so it does everything it needs to do, but their project management team and scheduling team is not to the same level as their sales team.

There were issues and my installation was rescheduled several times and When I called regarding the scheduled date I was told it was not scheduled and I would be waiting two more week. This was unacceptable after already being rescheduled three times and only finding out there were delays when I called a few days to confirm the installation. Second issue my system has been in for 6 months and has never produced the rated kw rating at best is only produced 82% of what I was told it would produce

The installation process was delayed quite a long time and that was probably the worst part of it. They left pipes and tubings on top of the roof, material on the floor and wires or extra clips and wires hangers left on the roof. I have about 4 panels that Sunpower installed and it's rare they get sun because of the position they put them on the roof where they could have probably been placed in another location. So I have let's say 4 panels that are bringing I'd say 15% or 20% capacity compared to the other ones.
