It's working as well as they described. When the installation people came and they actually broke the entry gate. It costed me five hundred dollars and SunRun has never reimbursed me. I sent them information and their trucks are insured by some other people but it's been almost a year. I have to pay out of my pocket.'

They have excellent communication updates and a very seamless process. They notified me in advice when they were coming. They arrived and walked me through what they were going to do and went and did it. It was very timely and they cleaned up after themselves. Everything was quick and efficient. Everything's been working perfectly.'

The installation went pretty smooth. A couple hiccups extended it but after that it was good. After the fact I found out some of the information I was given was not true. I was told that my panels would work if the power was out and they don't. Also I was told I would be able to cash out the money for the overage at the end of the year and I can't. I really wish they were more upfront with some of the questions I asked. I really felt deceived when I found out the coverage doesn't cover the full cost of the power and I can't withdraw it. I have hundreds of dollars of extra power that I will never be able to use. I wish I had gotten less panels because of it.

They're very helpful in how they provided us with details. We had SunRun come out several times to get things straightened out with electrical aspects and the connections. They responded promptly and courteously and effectively. They haven't come out to clean the solar panels which are full of trash and dirt. It's been working very well and when we had power outages, we were grateful to have the electrical connections.

They work very well with planning everything out the way that they suggest they would. Installation was slightly delayed waiting on the roofing to be done and then everything went as planned. Everything works exactly as advertised. They did exactly what they suggested should happen and it worked out well.

We interviewed two or three companies and we just like the feedback that we got from the sales reps better from SunRun. Installation was very smooth and on time. Since January, we've only had to pay a little over $100 for electricity when we were paying about $300 a month.

I really have had only one issue right after it was first installed and someone came out and corrected the problem. The panels are in position and doing what it's supposed to be doing. I wish that the installation part would have been a little quicker but other than that, everything went fine.

From the start of the installaton to the collecting electricity, the Sun Team was very customer friendly. They explained how to operate and maintain the Solar syatem. I have been saving around $100,00 a month on my electric bill. It even collects power during a Full Moon. I would reccommend going solar with SunRun..

Installation went very smoothly everything was done as promised. Installing solar panels with Sunrun has saved me a ton of money. Went from paying $600 a month to SCE during the Summer to $361 for the entire year last year! And that includes charging my electric car. Best decision I have ever made, very happy customer.

Because of the gap between the roof and the solar panel now pigeons are nesting underneath the solar panels. They should enclosed the perimeter of the solar panel with screens so birds cannot nest. I don't mind my electricity is really low so it does benefit to have the solar panels.

SunRun detected that I had a problem with my generation and sent a technician to check my system before I even received a bill from the Edison company showing that I had a zero generation. The technician determined that I had a faulty inverter and it was replaced at no cost to me. This occurred one year ago and since then I have had no problems.

The instillation went relatively smooth but there was a couple of days that we didn't have any electricty in the middle of the summer because they were working on it. Aside from that everything was good. I did call and and opens a couple of cases for some very minor stuff but there has been no answer to those request.

The panels are working well so far and their customer service is very good. The reason I did not give them a 5 is because we have still had to pay electric bills to Edison every month. They are $20+ each month. I did not expect that based on what we were told by the sales person which was that Edison would be purchasing unused power from us (and we would have unused power for them to purchase) and we would end up getting money back from Edison. Instead, we have been paying every month except the first month since our panels were installed.

Reply from Sunrun

Thank you for contacting Sunrun Customer Care. To determine how much the solar system produced, as well as how much energy you used within a given month, you will need to look at both your Sunrun invoice and utility bill.

The Sunrun invoice will have the total amount produced. Your utility bill will show how much excess energy was pushed to the utility grid and stored as a credit. Your utility bill will also detail how much additional energy you needed to purchase from the utility.

The sum of the total production from the system and the additional amount purchased from the utility is your total usage. Unfortunately, Sunrun does not have access to the utility company's internal billing and metering, so we cannot tell you how much energy was stored as a credit with them.
