Dave Colton North Las Vegas, NV

We contracted with SunPower to install solar panels on our one-story home on July 15, 2022. After repeated delays and backlogging of the production of their own manufactured solar panels over a 9-month period. SunPower was still unable to give us a confirmed installation date. Therefore, we cancelled our contract with them on April 4, 2023.

Buyer beware! Don’t buy or lease in Southern California. Our leased solar system modem has been down for a couple months. We have called soooo many times to have it fixed but nothing happens. It’s very upsetting!!! Save your self some time and grief and choose a different company that actually takes care of their customers.

I've have been having a horrible experience with this company. 4 months and still can't use these panels yet I'm already paying for them and I have to pay my light bill. They still have not reimbursed me and they do not keep me updated with anything. I wish I would have never done business with this company.

in 2017 Horizon Energy Systems installed a solar system on our rooftop from Sunpower (18 modules and 1 Inverter). The inverter has failed twice and, therefore the solar system doesn't work -We have been told we need to remove the old system to install a new one - company doesn't respond - worst $32K I've ever spent.

SunPower owns Blue Raven Solar. Blue Raven Solar resorted to deceptive sales tactics, attempted a bait and switch then threatened legal action when I pushed back. There are plenty of good to great companies in the Solar industry, don't make the same mistake I did and sign with a predatory company.

Do not do it! Do not do it! Do not do it! There courtesy ends at your installation. They don't hold to their agreement and are bullies. If you're going to charge me 5times the cost of solar panels the least you can do is honor a tiny thermostat! They don't respond for work orders. All humanity ends at installation. It is not worth it, I promise!

After paying extra for SunPower, believing it to be a quality product, we were mislead to think we could monitor the panels individually. Every other company offers this feature. Sun Power does not. It is not worth the extra money if you cannot accurately track the performance of such an expensive system. Buyer beware.
