Review Update: After…read moremy initial review, Eric (the sales rep) and Matt (the owner) of Sunline personally reached out to me and was apologetic about the situation. They sent Travis out promptly, who is their electrician where he found that the issue was resolved by replacing a faulty 40-amp breaker that was intermittently providing the necessary voltage, even though measurements initially appear correct. While the breaker issue caused real inconvenience and unexpected costs on my end, the owner was responsive and showed willingness to smooth things over to work toward a resolution. I also want to highlight that the panel upgrade and solar/battery installation itself was clean and well done. The workmanship that Eddie, Manny, Christian and Jamie performed had overall met my expectations, and once the issue was identified, Sunline did step in to correct it. No project is perfect, but how a company responds when problems arise matters a lot. In this case, Sunline's owner and Eric was engaged, responsive, and made a sincere effort to make things right. As an engineer, and after witnessing the symptoms and corrective actions firsthand, I believe the breaker issue was likely a manufacturing defect, and it was unfortunate that it occurred during the holidays. That said, based on how Sunline handled the situation, the overall quality of their work, and the value they offer, I would recommend them and plan to continue using them for future needs.

We recently hired Build Brothers for our solar and roofing project, and the experience was solid…read morefrom start to finish. Evan, our service advisor, was especially great to work with. He was professional, attentive, and respectful of both our concerns and our budget. He even went the extra mile by personally taking a sample of the shingle to our HOA to secure approval before the install that was moved up. Because we were trying to complete everything before the soon expiring tax credit, the timeline really mattered to us. The Build Brothers team was fast, responsive, and even moved our install up by several weeks, which we truly appreciated. The final result looks clean and well done, and everyone on the roofing and solar crews carried themselves professionally. We did experience a couple of small glitches such as receiving a plug installation for the charger when we had paid for it to be hardwired for safety reasons, and the team initially bringing a regular charger instead of the universal one we purchased. Given how many customers they are trying to help before the tax rebate ends, we understood how these hiccups could happen. What mattered most is that they handled both issues quickly and with no hassle. Overall, we are genuinely glad we chose Build Brothers. They delivered on what they promised, took care of us throughout the process, and we would confidently recommend them to others.

I purchased a home solar system from SolarMax in summer 2019. My system came with a 10-year power…read moreperformance guarantee and 10 years of monitoring. Less than three years after the system was installed, the monitoring stopped working due to T-Mobile retiring its 3G network. When I called SolarMax to ask what to do about this, they said that I would need to pay $625 to install a WiFi card, and that my power performance guarantee would only be valid if I paid for this upgrade. When I purchased the system, the salesperson, Jose Lopez, told me via email, "Our system does include monitoring. We do not charge additional for our monitoring." He didn't mention the 3G modem or say anything about the monitoring being conditional on a third party supporting 3G. With 7 years remaining on my power performance guarantee, I have no way of verifying that the system is performing as expected. If energy production decreases, then I won't know, and SolarMax won't compensate me for the underproduction. I feel like I'm being forced to pay an extra $625 for something that was supposed to be included in the upfront price.

Very disappointed with Sunrun. After the solar installation, we had our roof inspected, and the…read moreinspector confirmed that the installation crew caused extensive damage throughout the roof, including cracked and missing tiles. We were informed the damage is severe enough that we may now need an entirely new roof. To make matters worse, Sunrun has not been willing to properly help resolve the situation and has been giving us the runaround instead of taking responsibility. A solar installation should not leave homeowners dealing with major roof damage and expensive repairs.

The sales pitch is very reminiscent of timeshare sales where they make you sign documents on the spot without allowing you time to really think about it and won't show you the cost of their proposal until then. We decided to cancel the project and I confirmed with the main sales rep we didn't have to do anything formally to cancel. After that, I've been reached out by the other sales rep with him trying to sell me more options. I've also been called multiple times across the last few weeks asking about our project. I spoke with a customer service rep and he 1) confirmed it was cancelled on their end and 2) added a note to not call or contact me anymore. Within days someone else from Sunrun texted me about this same project. This company is such a pain to deal with. Wish we never started and glad we didn't commit to a long-term project.
