Tony K Yang Irvine, CA

Worst customer service!!! I bought this system over 6 months ago and it has failed Irvine city inspection three (3) times. I am making monthly payments on a system that doesn't work. Great sales but fail on delivery. I email Sunrun and they keep giving me the run around. DO NOT BUY...frustrated.

Trung Vo Katy, TX

I had a 3pm appointment on Sunday for a consultation to get solar panel installed at my house. I had to leave an event to make my appointment at my house, but consultant never showed up. No call or email to let me know he was not going to make it. Wasted my time!!! Very disappointed!!!!

We are very dissatisfied with the results of adding SunRun solar. Paying SunRun and Duke Power has saved us no money at all. Filed a complaint with SC Consumer Affairs and got nowhere....SunRun and Duke Power are making money with panels on my roof......very, very dissatisfied customers.....

I have submitted a support request, for the addition of a wifi tracker to my inverter and they never responded, also the system wasn't working for a week and they don't know why or how it happened and they have an answer for that.

They will do and tell you anything to get you to purchase the product. My panels are not producing what is expected sunrun does not monitor your system if you purchase yourself. You do not get a 30% rebate it’s a credit there is a big difference. Would not recommend to anyone.

Salesperson was trying too hard to get my business by calling me everyday. I don't need that when I'm evaluating different companies. Also the product wasn't the best.

You have to pay everything upfront. Once they had my payment the installation was incorrect. The system did not pass inspection after installation. Some of the problems were not resolved. I have also had three electrical problems in my house since the installation.

I interviewed over 10 companies. My overall impression of all of the was "SNAKE OIL SALESMEN".i got a different estiomate of the amount of panels I needed from every company.The possibility of me ever getting solar panels has been destroyed. My wife will not even discuss it anymore.

My full name 9203

Low to Mediocre - Website was amateurish, in that it displayed a single inverter attached on a house. Most of those familar with solar want individual inverters per panell. Saw diagram and was turned off immediately Secondly when website required phone # I was put on notice that this indicates high pressure sales.

I talked to a representative named Nils W about Installing solar power. Made a 500 dollar refundable deposit. I changed my mind and notified Mr. W of my decision on may 1. Today is may 10 , and they cannot tell me when I will receive my 500.I would caution anyone against using Sunrun.

All we have been getting is the brush off. Every time we call we are told to be patient, meanwhile my system hasn't been working for 45 days - during summer months. They know they have hit the contract production and don't care. I am filing with BBB and anywhere else I can share - SUNRUN is horrible.

Been three months since it was installed and still not working! As weeks go by always an excuse why they can't finalize permit. Beware also that a lien can be put against your property. We had disasters for the poles to mount the panels on the ground and now have received a lien notice from the concrete company!

Don't go with SunRun. Bunch of screw-ups. They supposedly help you thru the process but you have to watch them like a hawk and do most of the work yourself. Last straw was they screwed up making an RMA payment to the utility company; hence my system is still not approved to turn on.

The panels are working but the customer service is so terrible that it should rank -1 stars. Forever on hold, never being called back. They installed a panel on the wrong spot covering the access to our air-conditioning. After we told them we were informed that we had to pay for it for them to clean up their mess. They came and removed the panel but didn't reinstall it later. On the day we were supposed to have in reinstalled they said they were on the way but never showed up. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER.

Reply from Sunrun

Solar is a seasonal product, and it is best to wait until your solar anniversary (one year after Permission to Operate was granted) to gain a complete understanding of your savings and how solar is working for you. Keep in mind, how much you save depends on many factors including how much electricity you use. If you use more after going solar than you did before, this may affect how much money you save.
