My experience with SunPoweredYachts started out great. Lyall was nice to speak with and polite. He seemed a bit more focused on making the sale than ensuring I had what I needed, but I let it go. Probably shouldn't have. They have a good selection of marine solar equipment, but when it comes to the actual install - forget it - not very helpful. They sold me a Sunpower 410W - no mounting holes and no forewarning. Just make the sale and move on. The Sunpower 410W arrived and it had a clear manufacturing defect on one of the cells (a gash across 2 cells that was under a smooth undamaged surface layer - i.e., NOT shipping damage). That's when things got ugly. I pointed out the manufacturing defect and offered a couple options, which included one option where I would keep the panel IF AND ONLY IF IT WORKED and suggested a discount on the sale of a panel with a manufacturing defect. They repeatedly called it a "cosmetic" defect. News flash, in the tech biz there is no such thing. That's when I heard from Katie, who basically said tough luck, your problem, take it up with Sunpower. I told her I'd take it up with YELP.
I really regret buying my solar from this company. read more
