The support staff was horrible. They did not respond to my emails and text messages always telling me I will get back to me but never answering my questions. The installation process to getting online took over four months.

We have had nothing but difficulty and very high electric bills for the last 2 years. There seems to be an ongoing problem that no one can seem to resolve and our bills for electric continue to climb.

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.

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.
