I am not happy with the outcome of the solar energy panels that I am receiving. I want to know why every year I am below the average energy levels for producing solar?!

The only problem I have is the length of the time I have the system; twenty years is a long time. Everything went smoothly with installation.

Roof leak that sunrun refuses to take responsibility for, the home was 5 years old when installed and leak free, after installation I had a leak caused by it. Also the monthly bill is ever increasing with no explanation.

Customer service was very helpful through the process but now that the solar panels are on my roof I cannot get anyone to call me back. The panels are not producing and I am paying more for electricity than I was initially without the solar panels.

Their customer service is awful. I went online o October 11. I continued to get bills from my original electric company for 5 months. I could not get anyone to listen to me. Finally I got a call fromOncor and they walked me through what needed to be done. I think it is finally working right.

Thank you for your communication. 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.

Sales person was told me that we will pay some amount of money every month. Reality is, we pay to Sunrun and separate check to utilitie company every month

7 years ago

Reply from Sunrun

Thank you for reaching out to us, Mario. We certainly hate to hear this. We want to help with your situation and initiate our goal of providing a positive customer experience. 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.

Andrew Spear

Great sales pitch... But poor, misleading, and possibly criminal support. Failed to notify us of a system failure that occurred in February, leading us to receive a hefty $5500+ bill from our electric company. The Sunrun contract claims they will monitor your system and ensure it is performing as per your contract... this is absolutely false. The call center reps refused to escalate my call, explain why they failed to notify us, or explain why we are still having to pay our monthly PPA despite having a downed system... They claim the system states there is an issue with the inverter, and they have been unable to secure the part since February. They will not send a tech out to investigate the issue without an out-of-pocket service fee. It's strange new installs can continue, which would require an inverter, yet they are unable to replace my system's failed unit.... Steer clear of Sunrun!!

Lena Totah

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! We recently added more panels to our existing panels. Ever since, our true-up charges have gone sky rock, even with one less person living in the house and one less car being charged. I've emailed and called Sunrun SEVERAL times to explain how my true-up charges were in the thousands (yes, thousands). I was never able to get a clear answer. I ended up calling PG&E myself to find out that they have not received anything from the grid in over 12 months. Which means, we are not getting credit for unused electricity. All this while charging us $61 a month for monitoring our units. Mind you, this is not the first issue we've had with Sunrun. Do your research and look into other companies.
