I wish I had down sized my energy expectations. After my husband died last spring and his ventilator, oxygen tanks, compresser power chair lift and bed etc etc were returned to the VA my electric bills have become nonexistent even using the AC most days. I feel that will continue after AC ends but I’ll still pay the full payment for my solar panels to Sun Run. Every bill is one less discretionary money as my income has changed down by 75%.

So far I thought the hookup to the utility company was only $5/mo. It's been running $15/mo. I also put in a request to check connections due to lights flickering. One guy came out, tightened the electrical panel. Happened again. I called, was given a case number and then no follow up. Thankfully it stopped, but happened in 3 rooms. Still, no call and no follow up.

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.

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.

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.

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.
