When I inquired about whole house solar energy, their representative indicated I'd receive a phone call from them within 2-3 business days. I haven't heard from them except or an email which described in very general terms about solar energy. This email told me nothing new...but was nothing more than a brush off.

Wyatt B and Carol L Ross Bakersfield, CA
Contract is very vague and misleading. Contracted for an 18 year lease. 9 years later trying to sell our home. Original contract lists the purchase price after 9 years at $24,000 OR 'Fair Market Value', whichever is greater. They tell us 'fair market value' is $45,000. 80% more than the scheduled price!! Protection against market fluctuations is understandable, BUT they never disclosed ANY inkling that the purchase price could be NEARLY DOUBLE THE DISCLOSED PRICE!!! BE VERY SKEPTICAL BEFORE SIGNING ON THE DOTTED LINE!!!!!

Had our system installed in October 2018, and still waiting for it to be up and running. The only thing I hear from my project manager is "still waiting on power company to sign off". I kinda thought Surun would be more proactive.

Worst run company ever. It took them over a year to get our account up to speed when we bought this house with an existing Sunrun contract. Even now, more than two years in, they still can't tell us what they've been billing us for and they are asking for over a thousand dollars they say we owe but with no documentation provided. Many of our hours wasted on the phone with managers, etc. I've never seen such incompetence in my life, and nothing seems to fix it. Go elsewhere.

The name of their company implies what you should do "Run!!!", do not trust them. I finally was able to sell my home but had to outright buyout the lease. Now after having my house sold well over a month ago, they are hounding me for my monthly payment. Seriously I do not see how this company has such a high overall score. How many 1 star reviews have people left. This companies customer service practices are horrible. Looking forward to the day a class action lawsuit comes.

We sold our house back in September and here we going into January and still paying on a house we no longer own! I was told by supervisors and customer service reps that I will be getting a refund and I would no longer be charged! Well that was a lie I just got another email stating they’re gonna try to charge my account again for January!? I’ve asked to speak to corporate and apparently there’s no corporate number. It’s getting to the point where a lawyer might be necessary!

Hello Kayla. We bill one month behind, your last bill will be withdrawn automatically. We will only bill you for the last day the lease was in your name. If you would like for us to send you an invoice for the final bill, we would be more than happy to review and explain the billing to you. Send us a private message with your contact information.

Really It sucks. I got the project done on January 2018. It costs 33 K and it suppose to work for at least the next 25 years. All of a sudden it stopped on June 2018 ( less than 6 month of production) and it took another 3 months to be fixed. No one how many calls I did to get it fixed. It's November 13th and same problem again. The idea is great, the system if it works also great but I'm not sure if I should get it from another company NOT SUNRUN.

Sunrun installers did extensive damage to my roof, requiring $15k in repairs. According to Sunrun, there repair warrantee is only for 5 years and my installation was about 7 years prior to leakage. Called 4 times and their representatives refused to even come out to inspect the damages. I would not recommend this firm.

They start at my installation on June 18 and it Oct 18 and it still not up and running. Salesman refuses to call me back or answer my text messages. I called sunrun last week and still wait for someone to come out to see why the system doesn’t work. The system is complete but doesn’t and has never worked . Plus if you call sunrun your on hold for 1/2 hour or more. I am just fed up I wish I never started project With sunrun.

I am a recent customer to Sunrun and have already started having issues with the equipment and service. The system stopped working about 3 week after installation. I had to chase them down for another 3 weeks before a technician was sent to repair the system. Tech is a contractor and claims they only have one for all of Southern California.

Inconsistent sales information, sloppy and dangerous site inspection (left breaker box cover just sitting in place without replacing bolts to secure the cover and left blank circuit covers off and laying on the ground). Did not measure the garage even asking the technician if he did and he said yes he did measure the garage. I told the technician that the garage was the preferred location of the solar panels. A second site inspection for measuring the garage and battery-inverter placement was then required delaying the whole process.

Very disappointed with this company. Should have looked into other companys beforehand. They installed older model panels with lower kwh than other companys and I am not producing enough electricity. They also miscalculated my energy use and did not install enough panels. I am paying more for electricity now than before having them installed. I call them frequently and never receive a reponse in a timely manner

Hello Joseph. Our aim is to provide a customer experience that meets your expectations! This begins with our unwavering dedication to make sure your system is sized to meet your needs. 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.

At this point the rating is so LOW it doesn't even register on the above star rating. I hope one star means the lowest possible rating. We are now into month 4 and still receiving full billings from PG&E. Sunrun had stated when selling us the solar system that they take care of everything. They did install the system, came out once to look at the system due to the PG&E billings, but we have heard nothing in response to our continued contacts regarding our electrical billings. Why would we put nearly $30,000 into a system that has gained us absolutely nothings except headaches?

I made changes to my home which cast a shadow on a portion of my panels. This has affected my production. Unaware of this fact at the time, I reached out to Sunrun for options. Redesign being one of them. I’ve been told there’s nothing I can do. I am stuck with the system under producing for the next 18 years. I cannot fathom this fact. I had to badger them with emails over the course of a few months to even get that and always through email. Cannot get a phone call. It has been a terrible experience and I feel as if they do not care about there customers.

I have an 8 year old Sunrun system. The warranty clearly states the panels are covered out to 25 years. At the 10 year mark, they are guaranteed to have 90% output. One of my panels is dying, and only producing at 50%. Sunrun response is that since the other panels in my system are still working (only one is broken), the system is performing as expected. UNSAT. VERY unhappy customer.

Horrible customer service, lie to get you to sign a contract and then won’t let you out, I am paying more now then I ever did before Solar. Every time I call I am told something new no one will stick to their word. At this point I am so frustrated I just want it removed yet they won’t even do that... No one will even buy our home when they learn we have solar through Sun Run..... walk away do NOT use these people....

Was given a price from the salesman who spent 2 hours with us
and then 5 days later raises the price by $54.00. He claimed it was just a spitball estimate, but spent 2 hours of our time for nothing. I will not use these installers, they cannot be trusted.

We have been waiting 2 months for a replacement inverter. Customer service is nice but the case managers never call back when they say they will. Now it's over 100 degrees and my solar is useless because they either have no intention of honoring the warranty or they got my inverter and installed it elsewhere or they just don't care and hope I go away. I spent a heck of a lot of cash for my system. Maybe that's it. I don't owe them money. It's paid for. Wish someone could really help. This sucks

Read every word of the contract!!!! Even if it is 30 pages long and the sales people show it to you on a tiny note book. What the sales person promises is not what you are signing up for. They lied to my face and now I am paying more than I ever did to SDG & E. I'm also concerned I won't be able to ever sell my house with the existing 20 year contract!
Sunrun - Don't bother with your automatic response system. You really don't care as long as you are making money hand over fist. Sleep well.

I am writing on behalf of my mother. My father had this system installed a few years ago. He passed away, and now we cannot sell the house with these panels on it, and may be obligated to pay the remainder of the “lease”, purchase them, have them removed and replace the Spanish tile roof. There will likely be no money left for my mother, who requires around-the-clock care and now lives with us. Targeting elderly senior citizens at the end of their lives is wrong and ought to be illegal. My parents’ “estate” is now obligated, and could end up bankrupt.

Hello Claire D. Thank you for your communication. We find that Service Transfers are easiest when the Agreement is disclosed early and made a contingency of the sale. Our Service Transfer process is simple and requires you and the buyer to complete three steps prior to the close of escrow. You and the buyer must sign the "Transfer of Sunrun Solar Service Agreement" form. The form may be signed in counterpart, so the signatures do not need to be on the same copy of the form. The buyer must receive credit approval and can request a link to our online credit application from their Service Transfer Coordinator.
You or the buyer must submit proof of Title transfer. This can include a title report with the new homeowner's name on the title, the grant deed or a closing statement.
In regards to the tiles on the home. The installation pictures show no broken tiles, none of the cases or project notes on the account mention this. Customer needs to provide pictures of the damage as we don't believe it's from the installation.
Feel free to private message me your contact information so we can work towards a resolution.

Terrible customer service. Company does not communicate amongst its employees. Back end systems don't match up consumers information. Online stats never reflect real time every use. App on phone never shows updated stats. Over all experience has been TERRIBLE! They take no responsibility for any of their mistakes and blame everything on the customer. They penalize you by not sending out technicians to your house on purpose, I was just told this by a rep on the phone!!!

Had s new roof put on. They where great taking off the panels but it’s like pulling teeth try to get them put back on. One panel is broken they had to order one it’s been three weeks without solar, keep calling but no one ever returns my call. Ask that a supervisor call me they said he would return my call in two days. It’s been going on a week now no call back. In the meantime I have all these panels in my garage that I can’t use. This is getting ridiculous time to call 7 on your side

I think Sunrun is a very poorly ran company. My system was out for 6 days and I accidentally saw the red fault light on . I never ever got a call from the company who was supposed to be monitoring the system 24/7 . I called and got the run around . I finally got it reset after 9 days . The system is still underperforming and I requested a call back from a supervisor and never received a call back . I would never recommend this company and solar is so not worth all it’s made out to be .

Everything is great when the system works but when you have a problem they make all these promises to get someone out but they are extremely slow to respond. This is the 3rd time in 4 years my system has been down. Once for a month, once for 3 months and it has been 8 days this 3rd time and was told someone would contact me within 2 days. I called again yesterday and was told they would call me right back with a answer. Still have heard nothing. Service could not be worse.

Sun Run is the worst company ever they don't live up to their agreements and when something is wrong you wait for ever for them to call you back which never come I would not recommend them to anyone. They are not there for the customer. who as to wait a month for an electrical problem which could cause a fire? Still waiting on a problem that I had in Aug of 2017 they refuse to comply that makes the contract Null and Void. Don't go with them you will be sorry, I know I am.

I do not like sunrun at all. When the panels were installed we told them we had a hot tub but it had not been used for a while and we got a new one. We have requested more panels be put on the house which they replied we did need more but they no longer do business in the state of Massachusetts. I really have not seen any savings. My electric bill is sky high and yes the weather has been terrible. Also we told them we needed some panels in the back of the house so we can get sun morning and after noon. They have done nothing about my complaints.

Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry to hear about your experience. Remember that solar is seasonal. The panels will produce more during the sunnier months and less during the winter.

We were told our rates would never increase. The salesman told us anything to get us to sign. We signed up in 2008. We have tried to get some relief from them as they offer locked in rates now. We are seniors who are disabled and could use a break. Bill keeps getting larger every year. Defeats the reason to have solar. They have refused to work with us numerous times. I don't understand why so heartless.

Sunrun is a horrible company. They do not stand by their warranty. Several of my panels have developed moisture leaks which ruins the individual photocells ( as explained by their service representative) . They refuse to repair/replace the panels even though the panels and system are still under warranty. One thing for sure about SunRun - you should read their name and follow what it says - RUN, do not walk from this company - run as fast and far away from them as you can.

I have not had power in part of my house since installation, and now 2 months later I can not get anyone from Sun Run to return my calls. It has been confirmed through several electricians, that the panels do not supply enough power to our house to cover the need it demands. I have requested they come out and remove the panels from my home so that we can have another company come out and install panels and restore power to our home. PLEASE I beg of you to do your research and chose a different company for your solar needs.

Don't go with SunRun!! I was promised two credits, $500.00 for a referral and $500.00 for being a Costco member and they have not honored any of them. I have been on the phone each day and they say that they cannot honor the Costco credit even though I have it in an e-mail from one of their employees that they hired to sell the solar panels. I should have gone with Solar City and so should YOU!!!
Poor customer service, took forever for my solar system to be turned on when my referral only took one month, mine took three months.

When I first had my system installed in October, they told me how to start it up and it seemed to work. 2 weeks later, I went to check it and it was offline. It took a week to get a service call to get it working. I just got my power bill from NV Energy and it was extremely high considering that I was supposed to be running solar. Apparently my system went offline again 3+ weeks ago and I was never notified. Now I get to wait another 5-7 business days for another service call. But at least they pull the money out of my account every month like clockwork. Use ANYONE but Sunrun.

Hello Keith, thank you for your communication. We understand the frustration service issues can cause. We have reviewed your system’s production, and it looks like your system was producing up to contract until 01/23/2018. The system stopped communicating the kilowatts it produces daily, this doesn’t mean your panels are not producing energy. If the inverter has a green light your system is still creating power, if the system is down you are protected by the performance guarantee.
As a Sunrun customer, you are protected by our performance guarantee. This guarantees that you will never pay for electricity that you do not receive. On every anniversary of the In-Service Date, Sunrun will calculate the "Actual Output" of the system. If the actual output is less than the guaranteed production for that anniversary date listed in Exhibit A, then Sunrun will issue a refund. This refund is calculated by subtracting the actual output from the guaranteed production and then multiplying by the refund rate listed for that year in Exhibit A. I have created a Field Service ticket, and you’ll be contacted to schedule a date for us to come out and look at the meter.

My father died in November. The agreement was in his name. However, the home is not. I have been the homeowner since 2007 and the agreement was signed in 2012. I knew my father signed the agreement, but had not seen it until after he died. The agreement is not acceptable to me. Because the agreement my father signed is invalid I've been asking Sunrun to remove the solar panels and repair the roof damage from the panels. It's been 3 months and Sunrun has yet to comply and they continue to send my father a bill. Obviously these bills will not be paid.

I have been a customer for over five years. My panels have never delivered what was promised, and now I am being charged an enormous fee because of it. I am protesting because I do not think it is fair as I still pay a huge fee to the electric company. I would recommend buying your own solar panels if you want to go solar, and not leasing from a company such as this one.

They are friendly and professional. The two guys that have been to my house have been great. But it is taking a long time to get my final plans prepared

Bought my system from rec solar got through Costco, before they got together together. I had diminished power for about a year, and tried to find recsolar, finally found sunrun. It took over a year to replace the faulty panels (lots of E-mails and phone calls). Finally called Costco and they tried to help. God knows what would have happened if they didn't help

I have 2 homes with panels from their now defunct partner Sungevity. When 6 months ago Sunrun took over 100% of the contracts I had a dead converter at my house on Cape cod. It took them over 3 months and at least a dozen phone calls to repair the system while all along I was making lease payments. I can find NO record of Sunrun reimbursing me for lost energy charges. As a matter of fact I can't tell from my local electric bills or from Sunrun whether I receive Solar credit as of today!!! I've called both parties and they point at each other.

Not as formal and professional compared to some of the other solar companies that I have had experience with. Did not receive any formal response for 2 weeks after meeting with representative and in found out from a phone call that your company could not put solar on to my house for supposedly safety reasons when no other company previously had identified that as an issue. Currently have solar and happy with the provider I went with.

Very professional throughout the entire process. Pick them because they are connected with Costco and represented themself with the same integrity.

ENDED UP PAYING A HIGH MONTHLY RATE, THEY CLAIMED TO BE UNABLE TO ADJUST. UNABLE TO GET OUT OF CONTRACT SINCE IM PAYING FOR BOTH SOLAR AND SC EDISON. TURNS OUT I NOW HAVE A BILL FROM SCE FOR USAGE, WHICH IS NOW HIGHER THAN THE SOLAR BILL. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT SOMEONE FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE, NO RESPONSE, LEFT MESSAGE AND NO ONE HAS CALLED BACK. EITHER THE PANELS ARE DEFECTIVE OR THIS IS SIMPLY A SCAM.

we had to take over a lease from previous owner. My bills are high. I called customer service to try and understand how the solar works. all I wanted to do was ask a few questions. The person I spoke to gave me an attitude as if I owed him something. he said If I have questions and want them to come to the house to inspect it would be $95.00 an hour. I wish I could get rid of these panels and get a nicer solar company. I regret taking over the contract. Please be careful when choosing this company.

We have had our solar system for 3 years now and have been completely satisfied. Installation, service and maintenance have been excellent.

Not sure about this company! They get you to sign a 20 year contract and then the communication stops. They outsource their sales and installation. Sun Run Customer service wants nothing to do with until they power company switches you to their system. They claim that they have no control over their sub contractors. They have no names of their sales rep, installation etc. If the system works it could be good but my advice before sign have your sales rep bring his owner or manager and the installer and or manager and see if you are working with good people.because Sun Run does not care!
