Jeff Houde

From the time the sales guy knocked on my door and the 46 panel, two inverter system was installed and approved, the experience was nothing short of excellent. The system has performed as advertised other than one small glitch that was immediately addressed and resolved. Information was readily available and any questions/concerns were responded to quickly and professionally. About the only issue was PG&E dragging their feet through the approval process. I would heartily recommend the Sunrun team to anyone seeking a solar solution. Thank you to Josh and Troy and Jake. You guys were great!!

poor performance/paying more electric than before-alot more

7 years ago

Reply from Sunrun

Hello, thank you for your feedback. 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.

Waste of money. Savings for 1 year is 12$ ??? All promises, no results. They will do NOTHING for you.

Hello William N. 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. Remember that solar is seasonal. The panels will produce more during the sunnier months and less during the winter. Over the course of 12 months, you will still be saving.
