Sunrun Reviews

I had investigated three providers and interviewed them all. The choice was very clear once I had talked to all of them. Sunrun staff were by far the most personable, friendly and knowledgeable about the process and what to expect in regards to the PPA, installation and operations as well as what to expect from PG&E. The installation crew was very fast and efficient. They took time to explain what they were doing and what to do once the panels were in place. All in all, a very good experience and good for our world as well. System is up and generating power as described. Go Sunrun!!

Great crew and work, very clean, courteous, and respectful to the property surroundings. A clean presentation on the system and time line. Very actively informative on the progress of the system build, up to the time it's on the grid. Follow ups making sure one is happy with their new system. I recommend Sunrun to any home owner who wants great service, and cheaper electric bills.

My wife and I chose sunrun because they were advertising in Costco, and they use only the best products. After having the rep. out to my home and were quoted almost half the price as all other solar company's, we new we had to try them out. Installation was a breeze no problems at all. The foreman for the job was always here. I have a flat roof on my house, so I was worried about leaks and Mother nature gave it a trial run, and we had two leaks which were taken care of quickly. The drywall was replaced and repainted by sunrun.

i got in contact with sunrun because i wanted to become more energy independent. Living tied to the grid was becoming somethat of a nightmare. Huge energy bills during the summer, not much smaller during the winter. I became more and more concerned with the carbon emissions comapanies like NVenergy were putting out, so i decided to do some research. I found out that by installing solar panels coupled with a battery backup essentially i could be living off grid. Sunrun has helped me with the process of installing solar panels on my roof which is helpful to not only my wallet but the enviorment. The 100 a month payment is music to my ears compared to the amount i was paying during the summer with NVenergy. The only reason im not giving sunrun a 10 is because there were difficulties with some of the incentives i was supposed to be receiving which i still have not received. Im leasing the panels but i do plan on owning them in the near future. Thank you sunrun for helping everyone.

Sunrun is AWESOME!! We are already reaping the benefits of having solar make our energy. We have been very pleased with everything. Staff is great....they truly care and are on top of every little detail. I like the fact that there is no cost to us...just save money on our energy costs!! I would highly recommend Sunrun for your solar consideration!

I had Sunrun install my solar system about 2 years ago. I only had 2 problems - 1. the system went down and they fixed it immediately. 2. had a pigeon problem; they installed grating that prevented the pigeons from nesting under the panels AT NO CHARGE!!! I would definitely recommend Sunrun. Note: some months the power company owes me money for the solar energy produced.

Our 4th year with SunRun. Absolutely delighted with our system. My initial worry was it would be so complicated. Not at all! In our case, we leased the system, but by doing so we reduced our energy costs by 50%. Plus it's nice to get a check from the power company each year. The environmental savings are off the charts. It also allows us go use things like an electric lawnmower instead of gas. Our next car will be electric too. Why not? We have the power! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The process was flawless and everything explained thoroughly even though I may have asked several times, even came back to house to explain meters until I truly understand. From beginning to end the experience was painless, all contractors involved were professional and friendly. I have recommended them to anyone who wants to go solar. I went live in April 2015 and have saved over $500 dollars so far . I can't say enough about them. Any one wanting Solar check around but you will end up with Sunrun in Las Vegas NV.

Installation was done by 2 teams in less than 4 hours. Have had solar for 4 or 5 years. We prepaid a 20 year lease. Our electric bill has been less than $10 since system was activated. Mostly we are paying the service fees and taxes charged by APS. Only complaint is panels have not been cleaned since installed. When asked I was told no need to clean since we are generating more than was estimated.

I have had my soar system for 4 months now I dont own it and it has almost cur my bill in half I received a visa card for $2200 on signing up and out of pocket expense was $50 for gas n electric to cut power n re hook it up to a brand new 200 amp panel I had no problems and everything was done on time and professional no complaints at all I would recommend Sun Run to everyone

I have had Sunrun solar for a year now. The company is totally outstanding. I own my own system outright and have no monthly fees or finance charges. There is a twenty-year warranty that is transferable if I sell my house. My electic bills went from $240 per month to $40 per month. My return on investment is 25% per year. There is no where else I can get that kind of return on my money. I would recommkend Sunrun to anyone. It is a great way to save money while also saving the planet.

So far, I am satisfied with the process. The initial sales person was knowledgeable. Her co-worker, the one in charge of getting the installation going was helpful and answered all my questions. Once my new roof was installed, I had the roofer check with Sunrun installers to make sure they were using the correct flashings with in installing the solar panels. My roof's guarantee could not be in question.. Delen and his team Bobby, Ron, and Arash did a fine job with the installation. As of April 1, I am totally solar powered.

Sunrun was prompt when showing for installation. The professionalism was outstanding throughout the total installation. It began with introductions of all the installers then a total explanation of the install followed with a discussion of the location of the panels to be installed. Before the work started all the installers met and talked about the process followed by a through safety meeting. This impressed me very much. The install started and was completed in one day. Very much surprised and impressed. Thanks again to the crew Travis S., Kris B., DJ, Thomas and another Travis.

Thank you Sunrun for your absolutely wonderful installation staff! Russ and his team were all pros and showed the highest amount of respect leaving my home looking even nicer than they may have found it. I would like to personally recommend Russ, Joey, Cory, Clifton, and Tony for all their hard work and courteous attitudes! Sunrun, please continue to higher staff of such high quality.

REC was our solar installer - pro group all the way. Excellent experience with REC and Sunrun at all levels of management, from workers to managers. Great customer service! If someone doesn't have the answer they find someone that does. Very refreshing and unusual in this day and age. Have had our system up for over a year now and it is exceeding promised production. I love the $7.83 utility bills every month for most of the year.

Had a leak in the roof and my opinion it is due to the solar panels penetration. In the roof. They sent a young kid out to determine if it was because of the solar panels leaking. He was inexperienced didn’t not know what he was doing, and he wrote up a report that was not accurate. I tried to call back and they told me too bad so said you’re gonna have to get a roofer to come out and fix it yourself so I would recommend not doing this.

It's been a seamless transition from my former electric service provider to Sunrun. Great customer service and professionals from Bryan Davis my rep to the installers.

SunRun claims to monitor their system. My system was out of service for the better part of 2 months and they did not detect it. I did not observe my one bill from SRP was $550.00 until checking my bill for the current month and it was $615.00. Sun Run never discovered the problem, an electric company employee came to my house and said he was checking on a report. "He opened the breaker box and found the Solar main relay was completely melted into a blob of plastic. He called the issue into Sun Run. Three days later a Sun Run employee called me. I told him the problem and he asked me what size the relay was. Later that day they came out and changed the relay. The system worked again and my next billing was reasonable, however the next month was an out of sight $650.00. I called this in and after three days of getting "I will call you back phone message" I got an extremely disinterested lady who told me that there is a system wide replacement if the entire metal electrical panel for problems and mine will PROBABLY be the problem and we will have to get a permit to change it. When asked how long ? she said AS LONG AS 6 to 8 WEEKS BECAUSE THE LIST IS REAL LONG. When I pointed out that I am dealing with a failure and not a routing "get in line, she said she can't do that because "we treat all our customers fairly". So she and another manager don't dee why I think I need maintenance repair now and think I should stay inoperative and paying big electric bills until my name comes up on the long list.; Homer Landreth

I want to warn others about the solar panel company Sunrun, due to my bad experience with them. After almost a year of requesting repairs, they finally fixed my panels, but in the meantime, they kept sending a technician every month without solving anything. Now, on top of that, they are also breaking the contract. The contract clearly stated that the monthly payment would increase by 3% each year. However, in addition to applying that 3% increase, they also added an extra $7.81 monthly charge without my authorization, violating the terms of the agreement. This company does not honor its own contracts and only looks for ways to take more money from consumers. I strongly advise being very cautious before doing business with them.

I've been waiting for months now for these people to fix an installation error. I have sent them all proof of the error; billing statements, pictures, and a report from my electrician..all things they requested. Sunrun will not show up to repair anything unless they know ahead of time, which means you have to hire your own electrician to find their mistakes first. Many many phonecalls and many reasons they give as to why they can't just send someone here, while I still have to pay a Sunrun bill, and a National Grid bill that has not shown improvement, despite showing them bills in the months before and after install, the amount to pay and kwh usage stays the same. I do not recommend Sunrun. My next approach to getting my issues solved is by calling a lawyer.

Sunrun Solar is the worst solar company. There are thousands of complaints against them. Their business practices and contracts are being investigated. They do not pass the CA tax credits on to their clients. The company keeps the tax credits. Don't even know how that is legal? They have the worst customer service. Their Escalation department is a joke. No matter the issue, they take zero responsibility. The customer is NEVER right according to them. There are so may Facebook Groups with thousands of complaints. And there nis no clear way to file complaints against them. There are Class Action Lawsuits against them. I definitely feel they are scammers. The industry needs to have clear complaint process for customer complaints. The CSLB - Contractors State Licensing Board in each state is a good starting point to file complaints. I started a Facebook group - Sunrun Solar Nightmares - Central Valley. There are at least a dozen or more FB groups with thousands of complaints. And still nothing gets done. I have filed at least 20 complaints with various organizations. Most just forward the complaints to Sunrun's Corporate Headquarters in Utah. I have dealt with at least 6 different people in Sunrun's Escalation Department. They are useless. Their contract states that "Sunrun offers a Performance Guarantee. If your system does not produce the power output guaranteed in this agreement, we will refund you for lost power." It also says they will "Monitor the system constantly." They will insure, maintain, and repair the Solar Facility at no additional cost to you including inverter replacement. Their rep showed up at our home and said our invertor was underperforming and he was replacing the inverter the following day. His exact words were "You don't have to be home. You won't even know we were there." He shut our solar off and then never showed up to replace the inverter. I found out when I received a $3700 bill from Edison. They reviewed our account and said we were not on Solar for 8 months. Sunrun guarantees they will "constantly monitor your solar." They obviously do not, or they would have known or solar was not operating for 8 months. They were 100% negligent and refused to cover the cost of their mistake ($3700.00) They offered us $500. I refused it. I have been researching their company and all the complaints. I cannot comprehend there has been hardly any action against this company with the number of people complaining. I submitted my information to Top Class Action Lawsuits. They are working on a class action lawsuit against Sunrun in California. I do research every day on this company. I will not stop until they do the right thing. And I wll assist others that cant get their complaints resolved.
