Absolutely horrible service. Have been leasing since 7 years. The system went down earlier this summer. Over 3.5 months and still no news on the replacement system. Meanwhile I am paying the lease every month.

DO NOT GO WITH SUNRUN!!! Sunrun doesn't allow battery back-ups to leased systems, nor do they allow you to add a battery back-up to an already existing system through them. Horrible customer service.

Thank you for your interest in our backup battery, HollyAnn. We are working on a retrofit solution for existing customers and expanding our home battery solution to more states. As soon as a retrofit is available, we will let our customers know. Batteries are available for our new installed leased contracts. Thanks!

Figured Costco would use companies with good customer service. I was wrong. Would nit recomment to any of my friends who are now happy with other companies. The larger the company often times means less customer support.

Beware!!! When your panels stop producing power they won’t replace the bad panels. Sunrun will just tell you that your other panels will make up for it. Loss production is loss production!

I was mislead about my Edison bill,nobody ever informed me that after 12months i was going to be charged$878 from Edison...i am now paying65 to sunrun and $877 a year to Edison where is my savings?

6 years ago

Reply from Sunrun

Hello Fransisco A. We appreciate your communication, and understand receiving a true-up bill that high is concerning. Now that your system has produced one full year worth of data we can run a savings analysis. With your utility, you'll be billed as a "net energy metering" (NEM) customer. This means that instead of billing you for all your electricity usage, your utility will bill you for the difference between system generation and how much electricity you used. In either case, you will receive a net metering statement that details your electricity usage, as well as any solar electricity credits you may have accrued each month (if you produced more electricity than you used). These credits will be incorporated into your utility bill, lowering your payment to the utility company. Please reach out to us in regards to the savings analysis if you are interested private message us your information.

They want to call me, and too many people in the chain between me and someone who knows Solar. Way too much "marketing", way too little "technology" among the three people I had to talk with. Will NOT use them.
