The Good
- Educating Homeowners
Educating Homeowners
Choosing to go green isn't always as simple as one would expect. But SunUp America does everything it can to help educate homeowners about everything solar. The company offers numerous blog articles, tips and tricks, and even a free downloadable consumer guide to solar.
Whether you're looking for more information on saving money during the summer months or what you need to do to weatherize your solar system, SunUp likely has an article or quick tip that can help.
The Bad
- Lack of Detailed Information
Lack of Detailed Information
Although we appreciate SunUp trying to educate homeowners on all things solar, we feel there is a bit too much generic information and not enough company specific information on the website.
For example, the website's frequently asked questions page answers questions such as these: Will home insurance cost me more if I own a solar system? Will solar void the warranty on my roof? Will my HOA allow me to have a solar system installed? How can I maximize my solar savings?
While these are important things to consider before going solar, they are more general questions that could be answered by any solar company. They don't really tell you anything about SunUp America.
We would like to see SunUp America include more information specific to their company upfront, such as: What kind of solar panels are available? What warranties/guarantees does SunUp provide? How long does SunUp expect a solar installation to take? What financing options are available? Does the company ever hire local contractors to perform installations?
While we're sure that SunUp will provide more detailed information if you call or contact the company directly, not everyone is ready to speak to a company representative. It would be nice if the company would simply put all this information on its website — that way, it's available to anyone looking to go solar, no matter where they are in the process.
The Bottom Line
Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, SunUp America is a solar installation company dedicated to helping homeowners understand and reap the benefits of going solar. If you live in Arizona or California, SunUp America might be worth looking into if you want to go green.
However, although we appreciate SunUp America's commitment to educating people, we wish there was more detailed information about the company on the website. For example, the company states that its solar panels are manufactured in Germany and are up to the highest standard of quality, but there is no other information on the panels other than that.
Additionally, SunUp America claims to offer the best products and financing available. However, when searching through the website, there is no mention of what financing options are available or whom they are financed through. If you are interested in working with SunUp America, we suggest you contact the company directly and get more specific information.
