I don't normally leave long reviews, but my experience with Powur has been nothing but stress, delays, and poor workmanship.
* Bad system design & ignored warnings
From the start, Powur placed 8-10 panels on the side of my home that gets heavy shade. I told them this, but they insisted it would be fine.
Within a month, those panels were barely producing power, and Powur had to come back out and relocate them. This should have been avoided entirely with a proper site assessment.
* Roof leaks caused by their installation
After removing the original panels, we started having leaks whenever it rained. It took Powur almost two months to send someone for an inspection.
When the inspector finally came, he found multiple problems: improper shingle installation, poor work around the conduit footings, and holes that allow water in. He recommended replacing the entire affected roof area due to the poor workmanship. It's been about two weeks since that inspection, and we still haven't heard back.
* Serious electrical issues due to their panel decisions
Powur installed a new main panel but left our very old original panel in place as a subpanel -- without recommending an upgrade.
That panel is now failing. We're experiencing buzzing, sparking, flickering lights, and appliances turning on/off. Every electrician we spoke to was shocked Powur left that panel in service. They all said it should have been replaced before solar was ever connected.
Now we have to pay out of pocket to replace it.
Overall, Powur has been a huge disappointment. Between poor design, roof damage, long wait times, and unsafe electrical decisions, it feels like corners were cut at every stage. I fully regret going with this company and cannot recommend them to anyone considering solar.
On top of all that, the value simply isn't there.
Solar is supposed to bring long-term savings and peace of mind, but all Powur has brought us is extra costs, repairs, and safety concerns. Any "savings" we might have gotten are completely wiped out by the money we now have to spend fixing their mistakes. When you add the stress, delays, and lack of accountability, it's clear the service and quality you get from Powur is nowhere near worth what they charge. read more
