I've never had any issues with them, anytime I called them I got things taken care of right away. I've been using them for seven years and I have never had a problem. I'm happy with the company. It was free installation and they were done in two days.

It seems like everything works well. It is the best price and the people are professional. All my questions are answered promptly. When I needed someone to come out, it was done very quickly and the issue was resolved. Installation was relatively easy and professionally.

They've always been responsive to the requests or questions. They were very considerate and careful with the installation. They took care of my request such as tiles for my roof that were borken. They took care of that and even came up with some new ones so I was pleased.

The roof was replaced at cost with someone that SunRun had arranged and then their people came and put everything in a day. The ydid locate the inverter and to ther equipment where I wanted it more so than where the company might put it so by default I was pleased with that. So far I haven't had issues with the equipment. I haven't really had to do a lot with them after installation.

The total experience with them was awesome. The equipment so far is working in excellent condition. Installation process was really smooth. They showed up on time and completed on time and then everything was cleaned up afterwards. They gave me an excellent customer service. They provided all the information initially.

Cost of having has worked out well. From the salesman to the installer to the follow up it was good. We have had some issues with the city and they just took care of it all, so they did a really good job just handling the people aspect. The installation process went on without a hitch.

Installing the system was smooth and quick. The SunRun application to monitor the power is very bad. They actually gave me the solar edge monitor instead, which is must better. The application from SunRun themselves is not that good.

Their pricing is a little confusing especially since they have to partner with a utility provider. You know what your Sunrun lease costs will be, they are pretty straight forward, but what the utility will charge you is unknown. That is at least until you have a year's worth of billing experience with them. In the end you end up paying a little less than what you would have had to pay a straight utility connection. I am not fond of the duel billing program nor that I have to set up automatic withdrawal from my checking account in order to get the Sunrun discount. I would have preferred being able to do so from a credit card.

I haven't had to deal with customer service a whole lot, but in the beginning, they were responsive and courteous. Installation was a little bit of an issue because the plans were not exactly correct in the beginning. They installed it incorrectly and they had to come back with more panels until they realized it was done properly.'

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When the system went down I don't have to call them because they could see that it went down and they came to fix it. So, they are monitoring my system and of taking care of it without me having to worry, so it's a worry free system for me. They got the instillation done it on time and the quality of the work was superior.

The curb appeal has not been affected by the equipment, they're not visible to people driving up to my house. Their customer service absolutely the best.

Sunrun made everything affordable and the equipment is great. The installation on the roof was fantastic, they got it done very quickly. The other day I called them because I have a leak and they said they would get back to me and they have yet to, so I am a little disappointed with their customer service.

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.
