I did not see any benefits to adding solar for the first year. I was still paying two full utility bills. Then at the end of the first year I suddenly started seeing credits against my normal electric bill from solar.

My inverter needed replacing after only 5 years. It took them two months to replace it, meanwhile my electric bill was astronomical. I was also told I had a buyout option. They gave me a price which was almost higher than if I had purchased them originally.

Hello, Remember that solar is seasonal. The panels will produce more during the sunnier months and less during the winter. Over the course of 12 months, you will still be saving.

Cassiem Newhall, CA

Their installation was poor and caused problems with our roof. They installed the bolts through the slope of the roof instead of the risers which weakened our roof. Because we live in California and we don't have a lot of rain they refused to remove the solar panels so we had to remove the solar panels to get the roof repaired.

I'm paying SunRun $45 and Xcel $45 - up. I didn't see any savings over the winter, actually paying more with the combination of paying both, SunRun & Xcel. Also, I filled out a review a couple of months ago, soon after Victoria Espino-Customer care rep 3 reached out to me and asked me to explain. I did explain in depth and have yet to get a response to my concerns.

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.

John Tucson, AZ

I stil have some issues I want to talk with the customer service about. I'm getting electric bills sent again and I thought they were going to monitor it.

7 years ago

Reply from Sunrun

Hello John, Once you go solar, your utility company will begin billing you as a "net energy metering" (NEM) customer. This means instead of billing you for all of your electricity usage, your utility will bill you for the difference between system production and how much total electricity your home needed for the month. For example, if the system generates 400 kWh of solar electricity and you used 600 kWh of electricity in your home, your utility company will only bill you for 200 kWh of electricity.

We have not received the amount of savings that was presented to us at the initial consultation appointment. In addition, we have had trouble receiving the $300 referral fees that we were promised.

7 years ago

Reply from Sunrun

Rhonda, we would be more than happy to assist you with your referral issues. Please private message us your contact information. Keep in mind that the size of your utility bill is based on your usage. If your bill is higher than last year, you may be using more power than last year. Since your Sunrun rate is lower than that of your utility, that means you'd be paying even more for your current usage without solar. In other words, you're still saving.

Disappointing customer support; very shabbily run. No responses to any ticket or emails submitted online. Phone calls have wait times of minimum 30 minutes. Often do not respond back on follow ups.

We have tried for over 3 months with no assist to work with our electric co to get the proper meter. NO HELP...paying sunrun and have lost all our solar power because they did not handle the coordination of getting the proper meter from our electric company(met-ed). I have no recourse but to contact the PA attorney general for assistance. They wont help!! They apparently don't know how a simple installation goes. It's a shame!

We had our install in May 23, 2025. The install of he batteries interior and exterior appear to be completed properly. They matched our siding and brick with the casings the cabling from the roof to the batteries perfectly. However our roof was damaged during the install. We had a really bad rainstorm here in Lynwood Illinoi's shortly after the install. We contacted our rep at Sunrun and a appointment was setup which was a not show no call and then finally the Sunrun roofer showed up. We called a roofer who took pictures of the damage to the roof shingles, which we shared with the Rep. Tonight another rainstorm and Yep at 1:45 am the bathroom cam lighting is leaking again. Sent and email with video to the Rep. Will update this review with action and timeline of the companies response to this roofing issue. Just got our first bill 7/6/2025. Not so "Amazing".
