I have had no problems with them. It was a very good experience. I would refer them to anybody else. This is one of the greatest things that I have done, it helps the environment and also helps the consumer to save money.

Thanks for your review, Shawn! We're so happy to hear that you had a good experience with us! You have enough decisions to worry about, and it's our goal to make going solar an easy choice. Thank you for helping us create a planet run by the sun!

My power system is excellent. Does everything I expect from it. SunRun service is at fault. When I talk to Representatives, they are always pleasant and seem to have concern over my issues. But it end there. I get referred to other departments or to subcontractors who just done close back with me. I call SunRun back to follow up and nice sounding people commit to getting the work done, but it never happens.

Thank you for your communication in regards to the experience you've encountered. We've saddened to see that this has not been since you're having system issues and you're not able to save. We can certainly address this issue and reach out to you for more details. We'd like to turn this experience around this is not the Sunrun norm.

We shop at Costco and we found the company there and we went with them because we wanted the best company. They answered all out questions. It has gone quickly and we’ve had no problems.

I didn’t have to spent a lot of money to have a solar put on my house with the offer that was presented. Everything has worked out according to plan. Everything is good: customer service, installation, and equipment.

There is always room for improvement. The equipment is good and my panels are getting a lot of sun and making my energy stay low. One thing I would note is that Sun Run didn’t say up front that your bill will go up every year. They might want to really put that out up front when they are promoting or selling because we didn’t know until I called about it and they said it was in the contract. Also if you sell the house and they new owners don’t want solar the previous owners are still liable for the solar. Those are two negatives I have with Sun Run. Just be up front with your customers.

Installation was fast. They were in and out of here in two and a half hours. If you do nont do a direct pull out of a bank account or credit card they charge you the $75 processing fee which is a joke.

Installation was good. I'm starting to pay for electricity again and I don't know if it's because panels are dirty and need to be cleaned. I'm not getting any response back from you people. I was told my bill would go down. I don't think I'm getting the proper information.

The first few months after installation had many problems with the system . Customer service was deceptive in their phone call saying the system was correct and running correctly and we find out that to be false.after several technical visits and upgrades and batteries weren't even turned on had to get Reguonal manager involved and multiple monthy credits were issued

I liked that it was offered through Costco. The instillation was quick and went well. They're very slow to respond as far as sending people out for repairs. The turnaround time it is too long. We had problems with the inverter and they had to give us a new one under warranty. We were without our solar power for a long time. We had to go back on SDG&E at peak rates. It was a good two months and it wasn't until I got Costco involved that anything started to happen. The whole process to get the inverter replaced was very difficult.

We do not have our system very long, and so we have not built up any solar credits. While bills have been reduced, we have not amassed enough solar credits to offset the high use months. The jury is still out whether the original system was designed with enough power to accommodate our needs.

I did have to have them come back and I had to sort of jump through hoops to get them to come back and do some touch up painting. They said they'd be back in two weeks and never did show up. It took some questioning on my part to get them to come back to finish the job.

They did a good job. One thing that I didn't get was one of my panels was not with the right battery channels. They really pushed it through as soon as they could and the installers work really fast. The circuits that they told me were going to be working aren't working.

We're not happy with the results we are getting with our solar panels because I think we're paying more for the solar panels on our electricity than we would have just with the electricity and solar. The installation was very quick and easy. No hassles, no problems and was done in less than half a day I think. Their customer service representatives do pretty well. I think we're going to have to review our bills based on what we've been paying for our electricity and size of our house and they'll make a determination if we need more.

They first came out and looked at the roof and the sun exposure and then they drew up a plan and then they came out in installed it. Everything works the way it is supposed to. SunRun did the work properly and efficiently. The system works well, however I had a question about the placement of solar panels and they did not adequately addressed it.

Well when I was selling my house I would not receive updates from the customer service department regarding the service being switched. I actually had to contact my sale person to get me an update. Then I paid my last bill and a week later Sunrun deducted the payment t again and so I sent a copy of the duplicate payment information to customer service in July of this year. I ha e not heard from them, have not received my refund of the duplicate payment and I just don't have time to hang on the phone

As of this date (08-27-2019) our system is not working and hasen't since 08-13-2019! NV Energy bill for 0ver $200.00!! d it cost us around $500.00 for the last time it didn't work. We are retired, on a fixed income, and cannot afford these energy bills AND the mortgage bills for the solar system. A complaint has been made with SunRun and they said that they would give us a call in next 3 to 5 working days. That is unacceptable! We are going to have to pay NV Energy for all this time that your system is not working. We need to talk to Management and we would like to request our money back. )

When they take money out of the account they'll only do it on a certain date which that doesn't coincide with my social security. So, I have to pay extra in order to write a check or call in my payments because they can't take it out on the dates I would like. So far everything has worked perfectly. It's pretty easy to turn on and get it going.

My solar power is becoming expensive. I signed up for a 3% escalation each year and I'm only half way through the lease. In addition, I believe that panels have degenerated and newer panels are more efficient than 10 year old technology.

Hello Terry P. The thing to keep in mind is that utility rates have historically increased faster than the rate of our annual increase, and you'll still be protected from those rate hikes. Therefore your savings should increase over time because you most likely will not paying those higher rates to the utility.

When we signed up several years ago there were not that many options. It is my impression that there are far more now and that some of the deals would be more advantageous to me. Secondly, because of my finances I never set up automatic payments from my bank account. Banks are unforgiving if you live month to month and sometimes run short. I'd be happy to set up autopay with my credit card but that is not an option you offer. Too bad. The situation is irritating to us both.

Hello James W. We are happy to hear that you are one of our long term customers! Thank you for helping us create a planet run by the sun. Sunrun prefers that customers sign up for autopay because it ensures that a payment is made on time each month. This reduces the amount of time and resources dedicated to collecting payments from customers. It is a convenient option for customers because it occurs automatically and they don't have to worry about due dates and sending checks.
