Sunline did a great job with our solar and battery installation. Several years later, all is working better than expected.

Ask the Community - Sunline Energy

Do you install heat pumps?

Hi Kristi! Yes, we do!

Along with solar panel installation. Can you upgrade electrical panels to 200a?

Yes we also do main service panel upgrades.

Can you install wind power?

Sorry we do not

We are current customers of Sunline. How do we get in touch with Sunline's owner regarding an urgent issue that isn't being resolved? Can we get an email contact for Matt, please? Thank you!

Please email inquiries@sunlineenergy.com today and I’ll make sure your issue is looked into asap.

Do you offer leasing of solar instead of purchase?

We offer financing. Leasing really isn’t a great deal anymore. Let us know if you’re interested in a quote. We’d be happy to go over the differences.

Is there a better way to get in touch with somebody from your service department? We own solar panels that were installed by Sunline and I opened a ticket 9 days ago and I've left several voicemails but nobody has responded or reached out.

Hi Lydia. I'll have our service department contact you tomorrow. Thank you for reaching out!

Does Sunline repair arrays that are not reporting on the Enphase app?

Yes we can help. However, if your system isn’t reporting it’s more than likely an internet connection issue and not a problem with the array itself.… 

Do you service south Orange County? I live in Laguna Hills. Our current lease is expiring and I'd like to know my options for leasing or purchasing a new system.

Yes we do service south Orange County.

Do you also do roof installation as well as solar? If so I would like to get a quote please.

Yes we doing both roofing and solar. Please go to our website (www.SunlineEnergy.com) to request a quote.

Are there still any tax incentives &/or rebates for Solar at this point? both for California & Federal?

There is still a federal tax credit. The California credit has been expired for many years.

Do you install in Riverside county?

We do install in some areas of Riverside county. Please contact us directly to inquire if we service your area.

Does the company offer panasonic panels?

Yes we do. We are an authorized installer of Panasonic.

Do they do tesla charging station at home ? And how much does it cost?

Yes we are an authorized Tesla Wall Connector installer. The price varies from project to project depending on the electrical run between the Wall Connector and the service panel.

Is there an emergency contact. Sunline is working on my roofing now and you can imagine my emergency - it's raining and 11:30pm?

Hi Tee, It's very common this time of year we encounter rain during a roofing or solar… 

Are there still rebates or tax credits if you install in 2020 or has that ship sailed? I'm assuming then if 26% that means that's how much of the overall cost that you'll get towards a federal credit?

The federal tax credit also known as the investment tax credit (ITC) is 26% for 2020.

Hi Matt, I sent my name and cell number to the inquiries email you requested. I asked to have whoever read email to forward to you. Hoping you received it. I still don't have an install date for our project.Thank you! Looking for anyone who can help?

Hi Lorna, I apologize your request wasn't responded to sooner. We schedule all installations after… 

Hi again, would you mind providing an email that I can contact you with my information? Thank you!

The system has worked flawlessly since installation, until recently, when my batteries would shut off early. We recently had a power outage and the backup failed. I contacted Jay Burden at Burtek and he immediately contacted Brent Wilson CEO at NeoVolta. To my surprise they were able to monitor and diagnose the problem and Brent Wilson personally came out to replaced 1 bad battery and flash new firmware into the inverter/controller and completed the replacement within 24 hours. The replacement was covered under Warantee for a timely, no cost, no hassle replacement. I am extremely pleased with the response from Burtek and impressed with Brent Wilson response also. These companies make up a great team and are very responsive when problems arise. I have full confidence in Burtek and have absolutely no reservations about recommending them for any solar project you may have. Thank you Jay Burden and Brent Wilson. You know what excellent customer service is and practice it. Thanks again. You are awesome.

Beyond Exceptional: Build Brothers & Tesla Powerwall 3 Are the Ultimate SDG&E Solution…read more In San Diego, beating SDG&E's outrageous $0.80/kWh peak rates (4 PM-9 PM) is no longer a luxury--it's a necessity for housing affordability. After helping our son purchase his home, we knew we had to address the property's failing 15-year-old Aurora inverter and aging 21-panel solar system. We were introduced to Build Brothers through our Realtor, Jeanne Liebel. Colton Frisch conducted a exceptionally detailed initial inspection that flagged the failing equipment early, allowing us to secure a sizable credit from the seller during closing to fund an upgrade. When we officially hired Build Brothers to design a replacement, they didn't just sell us panels--they engineered a complete solution based on our household usage (EV charging, A/C, and pool equipment). They installed 13 Hyundai 440W solar panels paired with a Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5 kWh) with an integrated inverter. Why the Tesla Powerwall 3 is a Game-Changer: Simply having rooftop solar isn't enough under current rate structures; avoiding grid usage when the sun goes down is the real key. Think of the Powerwall 3 like a DVR for your home's power: Load Shifting: It captures surplus solar energy generated during midday and powers the house throughout the evening peak window. Zero Grid Draw: We routinely run our AC set to 75°F from 4 PM to 9 PM and beyond, pulling 0 kWh from SDG&E. Execution & Results: The Build Brothers crew was incredible. In just 3 days, they removed the old array and inverter, repaired the roof, installed the new solar system and Powerwall 3, and even installed a dedicated NEMA 14-50 garage outlet for fast, sun-powered EV charging. Special thanks to Colton, Jesse, John Ross, Cristian, and John Perez for their professionalism and top-tier craftsmanship. If you are looking to take control of your energy bills in San Diego, I recommend contacting the Team at Build Brothers! https://buildbrothersinc.com/

Update: If any issues come up with Sunrun, it may take elevating to their management chain, but…read moreSunrun ultimately does the right thing. Gemini AI helped me get an email contact up the chain at sunrun who I wrote a polite email to describing the problem below. I got a phone call in less than 30 minutes from a really nice woman saying she's a Solutions Expert from Sunrun and is giving me a full refund of my leasing fees for the days the system was completely down for no fault of my own. I requested they also update training for their support team to avoid this for people with equipment down more than a few days once the cause is known and no fault of the homeowner. Original review: Their equipment is too prone to failure and they don't fix it in a timely manner and stick you with all the electric costs while it's down AND still charge you for leasing fees even while totally worthless/down. You are stuck in a bad 30 year contract. More details if desired: Equipment went completely down on me after only 3 years on a brand new house, it took them way too long to fix (2 1/2 months) and they would not reemburse me for their leasing fees during the time it was down and I incurred SDGE electric costs far more than the leasing fees I asked to be reembursed very reasonable request. I've heard these system failures of the sunrun boxes in the garage are common. Sunrun contracts with worthless "guarantees" that are only reviewed every 2 years/not when there's a problem and production levels guaranteed over each 2 year period are way too low leaving you to pay for outages their fault. Sunrun phone and online chat would not do anything for me other than to point to above worthless contract clause and I couldnt get them to elevate my case up the management chain. I want to be fair to other solar companies in I'm not making a call on since depends on diff factors; but before you buy solar from any company, just be sure to get a quote for cleaning the panels every year to keep them producing what they should and understand latest laws on how much of the solar you're paying for goes to you vs the electric company unless you also buy a battery to store it for thousands of dollars.

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.

I'm writing this review because I don't know any other way to get PetersenDean to respond to me. I…read morepurchased a Solar4America custom system of 27 panels in August 2016 for my 2860SF home. The project went fine and every person that came to my house was top notch. The project manager was remote, but kept me informed. I won't say things were flawless, but more than adequate. Incrementally through out the project I made my payments totaling my cash price of $25,582.68. We got the system officially up and running in January 2017. It is a bummer that when your internet goes out, you can't reset the app monitoring yourself. At the time of sale, the pitch said at the end of my 1st year, I'd end up paying SDGE around $100 +/-. My first Net Energy Metering Ture-Up SDGE bill came in January 2018 and it was $611.29. I just about crapped myself. I called SDGE and they told me this is often the case when solar companies over promise. I called PetersenDean. I complained about the true up bill and I inquired as to whether I should have had more panels installed. I requested someone reset the app monitoring function because somewhere back in time my internet was reset/rebooted. I was told someone local would call me back. Two weeks later, I see a PetersenDean commercial playing during the news. It prompted me to call back. This time the customer service representative told me their records showed I called two weeks prior. Again I was told the local customer service representative, Rebecca ?, would call me back. As of this writing, no calls or written communication. In the meantime, I've seen and heard countless PetersenDean commercials running with Tim Conway and Veteran endorsements. It angers me every time I see or hear them. I really expected more out of such a large company that boasted about their history and commitment to veterans. While I served six years in the USMC, I believe everyone deserves customer service. Apparently, PetersenDean prefers to spend more money on marketing than actual customer service. At this point, I'm thinking Consumer Bob, Turko files and the Better Business Bureau. 3/2/18 UPDATE: I received an email from PetersenDean on Saturday, February 24, 2018. Then on February 25, 2018, Operations Manager Bradley Kirk called me. We met in person a short while later in my home. Brad felt the wrath of me venting all my concerns. He took it like a champ and listened attentively and empathetically. He promised to get back to me by the end of the week and he did. We communicated on Wednesday, February 28, 2018 and set an appointment to meet in person on Friday, March 2, 2018. Brad was punctual and accompanied by Regional Sales Manager JD Perone. They took the time to address all my concerns and presented me with options to resolve them. If I were allowed to yelp Brad, he's five stars for sure. At this point, I'm pleased that PetersenDean took to the time with me to regain my trust in their customer service and committment.

The crew arrived on time every day, kept the worksite clean (they did a full cleanup at the end of each day), and treated my property with respect throughout the project. The quality of the installation itself was top-notch--exactly what you want when you're investing in something as critical as your roof. A special callout to Dylon, the project manager. His communication was exceptional--clear, proactive, and consistent. He stayed directly involved throughout the job, which made a big difference in ensuring everything went smoothly. It's rare to see that level of hands-on management. They also handled the solar panel dismount and reinstall flawlessly, which is not a trivial task. Even though I'm now upgrading my system due to the NEM 3.0 transition, their work made that process seamless. Post-installation support has been just as impressive. They've continued to be responsive and helpful, especially coordinating around my new solar project--something many companies tend to disappear on after the job is done. Pricing was very reasonable for the level of quality and service provided. And as a bonus--no nonsense on the job site. Unlike some other crews I've seen in the neighborhood, these guys were professional the entire time. Bottom line: excellent workmanship, strong communication, fair pricing, and a team that clearly takes pride in what they do. Highly recommended.
