We kicked the idea of solar around for two or three years. We finally decided to go with Sunrun Solar this Spring. No high pressure and I liked that the solar panels came with two batteries so we could enjoy the solar electricity 24 hours a day. The people at Sunrun changed out our electric breaker box, it was forty years old, just before they installed the solar panels and the two batteries. They were quick and efficient. Four installers came just after 7 a.m. Two on the roof and two on the electrical. I was ready to get into solar power! Then came the news that while they completed the installation before the end of July, we couldn't use the solar panels until first the city inspected and then Edison. They told us that could take until the end of September. We were not expecting that. Our monthly electric bill has reached over $400 a month during the Winter and Summer. The Solar was intended to keep our electric bill at just the monthly cost to Sunrun. I worked in the management side of construction for a few years so I'm familiar with how inspectors can really slow down any project. In my time building fast food restaurants and medical centers I learned how a smart contractor can help inspectors choose your job to inspect over another one. We never had to wait more than a day for any inspection. So, hearing Sunrun would take two months to get our solar inspected and running is very disappointing. If I were starting over again, we would very likely spend more time with their competition to find not just quick construction but getting to use the solar panels in more reasonable time. So Sunrun, you went from 5 out of 5 stars to maybe 3. If the solar is turned on early, I'll improve that rating. If it takes longer then it may go to 2 stars. read more

I can't begin to tell of the frustration and expense Sunrun has been for me. Their customer service is appalling. I've been lied to repeatedly, put off, delayed, and they even asked me to pay about $20k for something which they finally admitted they KNEW was their responsibility. I cannot speak more poorly about this company. read more

I had an extremely uncomfortable experience today with a door-to-door solar representative in Copper Canyon who was going house to house speaking about an "Edison scam." From the start, I clearly stated I was not interested and asked him to leave so I could attend to my children who were outside swimming. Instead of respecting that boundary, he continued knocking repeatedly even after I shut the door. He called out my first name through the door, which felt invasive and inappropriate. I again told him I was not interested at this time, but he kept persisting. At one point I had to tell him through the door that I was going to get my husband just to get him to stop. Even then, he remained outside continuing to speak over my refusal. The interaction escalated further when he approached me again as I was moving my car, continuing his pitch after I had already clearly declined multiple times. He also refused to initially provide his name or company, only later identifying himself as "Caleb." What made this experience especially upsetting was a deeply inappropriate and hurtful comment he made toward me in front of my child, calling me a "sad person." Given that I recently lost a baby, this was not only unprofessional but profoundly insensitive and completely unacceptable. No one should feel unsafe, followed, or disrespected in their own home after clearly saying no. I felt shaken and uncomfortable during and after this encounter. I would strongly caution others about this type of aggressive, intrusive approach. read more

The worst Solar company ever! The worst. Full of bullshit lies and are in business to steal your money. Stay away from Sunrun. Poor customer support and great art selling...just taking your money. If there was a half star...or 1/8 of a star...that would be too generous. Sunrun is crap. read more

Every home in our community has Sunrun for solar. We were not given a choice either Sunrun or you cannot buy. To close my loan Sunrun offered a very expensive lease program. $20k purchase or $55k lease. I took the purchase. There were problems with the system working properly to begin with. It took a couple times for Sunrun to correct the issues. Now it has been three years since the purchase and I was promised that I could get a free curiosity inspection because of the issues. I called today and Sunrun refused the inspection unless I was willing to pay for it. Talk about hypocrisy, we stand behind what we sell? No you don't. Asking Sunrun to show one time and make sure wires are tight, the panels are secured properly is a reasonable request since we had so many problems to start with. I love my home yet I regret buying solar from Sunrun. My next home, if there is one. I will refuse to buy if Subsun has the solar contract. read more

Requested a estimate 2 weeks out and they didn't show or call.... nothing must not want business

Couple updates about my system. One of the first things I asked was if it's a cloudy day and there's a storm coming how would the batteries be able to be charge if it's low sunlight. Was told they would charge off grid. Well, that was a lied it does not happen. The selection in the app is grayed out. It doesn't give you a choice to choose. After doing some research, it's up to the installer to give you the option to be able to do so and obviously Sunrun does not. Second of all learned that some of the clocks run off electric pulse Hz. so having batteries, you constantly have to adjust your clocks due to running off battery versus straight electricity. We are still waiting for the sales representative to come show us how to set the app. I've already stumbled through it and have set it up. Was also told that someone would be able to fix the issue with the batteries, not charging off grid that was five days ago I still haven't heard. I do have to say the system runs great when there is sunlight and your battery get charged. you can run an entire night with no electricity being off the grid but during the winter when it's cloudy and rainy, it'll be hard to get your batteries charged over 40% and you'll be on the grid using electricity read more

What an awful experience! Paul, a sales rep, made an appt with my husband to sit down and show us the benefits of Sunrun. After he made his presentation and questions were asked, Paul had the audacity to say we wasted his time AND his company's time by not being willing to put at least 9 MORE solar panels on our house and 2 battery boxes. I said it wasn't what we were interested or willing to do at this time. Now, that time will be never! read more

Since my last review in Nov 2025, we STILL haven't heard from this company. We've sent multiple texts and calls to both the sales rep. Manny Ayala, and his supervisor (as we were told), Beau Evans. Neither have bothered to return our texts/calls. Don't bother with their "incentive" program as it's evidently a scam to get your business read more

SERVICE IS ABSOLUTELY ABYSSMAL!!! I've been waiting over 2 months for one of their contractors to repair our roof and my daughter's bedroom ceiling after inadequate installation allowed a leak to cause a large hole. No one is responsive. One of our 3 bedrooms is cannot be used and Sunrun can't be bothered to return a phone call or email. COMPLETE BS read more

Sunrun - 3x3 hole in my daughter's bedroom the sunrun has admitted fault to but hasn't done a thing to fix. - Solar Installation Near Me

Plain and simple stay away from SunRun. The Service is horrible they don't own up to there mistakes. The Quality of the work is poor took them 11 months to find out I had a pinched wire even though I put multiple service tickets they came out and nothing was wrong then 11 months later they finally realize something was wrong the installation was done bad. The value of the product not worth the headache. I still have huge monthly bills plus there bill. Worst company to ever go into business. If you see anyone from SunRun knock on your door run,hide and lock your doors. Not worth the headache read the reviews all people can't be wrong, read more

My experience with Sunrun has been the worst consumer experience of my life. Sunrun designed my system with Southeast panels. While this hits a "total kWh" number on paper, it produces zero energy during the 4 PM - 9 PM peak hours when electricity is most expensive. I am forced to export cheap energy in the morning and buy back expensive energy at night. The system only produces energy in the morning and stops in the afternoon leaving the battery to power the house. All the energy that it produces, your battery can only hold so much and the rest of it goes to the grid for a small price. You do not even see that energy but Sunrun counts it as production on their part. There is no "all-day production" to top off the battery for evening use leaving me at 20% battery at times. They say they guarantee it will work for 90% of what they predict but don't tell you that it is after 25 years of you having the system. Plus they designed the system on my neighbors house in the first place! Now they do not want to fix it unless I pay for it. Three of their own techs said that the panels were placed in the wrong spot! Still fighting with them for over a year since day 1! Worst company ever! read more

Not even four years into solar and our roof/ceiling/beams are damaged from their incompetent installation job! They have admitted fault and our warranty clearly states their promise to fix it and pay for it all! But over a month later still sitting here with a soggy ceiling and ruined roof! They sent an incompetent or say shady contractor who though he'd get away with a patch job lol um NOPE then we were told we could get our own contractor, I went above and beyond taking time from my job and got three bids and still they blowing smoke! The stress is off the charts and the panels off is costing us money! Our damages are over $30k And more rain coming is more damages since they neglected to get the house tarped after panels removed. The first tarp job caused more damages and was done wrong! My life's mission is to make them accountable! I eat, sleep, breathe and defecate this situation!!!!! I will not stop nor go away til my house is back to the way it was!!!!! read more

I'm writing this review because this business (and I use the word loosely). I was curious why I have had 39 unwanted calls from them. In researching for an answer it appears they have had such horrible reviews, they're looking for their next victim. I even called them to inform them that I wasn't interested and to please dont call. Today they picked up where they left off. My call filter doesn't allow msgs, but if I wanted solar panels, it certainly wouldn't be a "business" that doesn't have a decent rating and doesn't understand that No, means No. That's too creepy! read more

CROOKS - they don't tell you and leave out the page that states you are on the hook for 25 years with a 2.9% price increase EVERY YEAR with no way out of the contract. By the time the 25yrs is up I will have paid more for their crap service than my home. THEN I happened to check my app and I have not been getting service for a total of 4 months they never called to let us know they put in a repair request with Freedom Forever who I am now questioning them for doing business with SunRun. I was told after it's fixed I would get refunded for the months of NO SERVICE but guess what I was given some line about percentage of usage over a period of the year and they would only refund $300 when the no service period going off my monthly I should be getting around $800 and then they refused to send a check (after again I was told that was an option) and I have to trust that they will apply that credit to my bill when looking back I was given a $500 credit for an unknown reason but not 1 cent was applied to my account. Don't do it and if anyone out there is a victim to their lies I say we get a class action together make these crooks go bankrupt! read more

Extremely aggressive in sales, sloppy in analysis. The Sunrun salesman actually very confidently spoke to say that he was "going to be" my solar supplier...as if I did not have a choice somehow. Then when Sun Run told me that my roof could only "handle" about 10 panels (which would not meet my electricity needs), I said I was not interested...but they absolutely routinely continued to beg for me to sign up with them about once a week with very persistent "don't you want to..." texting and voice mails. Even after I acted to block a Sunrun number, they popped up anyway using a different number for some time. This was very annoying...and is very much the reason I can so readily summon up the name SUNRUN among the three early companies I considered for solar. So I called a fourth company, PLUG IT IN SOLAR, for one more bid and got a professional analysis of my roof, etc. End result, 7 months later, is that I am paying nothing to DWP for electricity, I have 21 high quality panels and I am confident if I ever have a concern that it will be handled (see my separate review for PII Solar). Sunrun earns the 1-star, at best, rating for their cooker-cutter approach and boundless aggression in pursuing a sale. read more

I never had My Roof Leak until SunRun Went up to put up the Solar Panels, Now my Roof Leaks and they are not taking responsability .

We had solar for a few years an at first everything was great, now we have panels growing algea and a few broken panels. I called to have someone come out an replace them because 20yr warrantee is good until 2029. The technician came out an confirmed, "Yes these need to be replaced!" My husband an I have been calling every week to see when they are going to come out an fix an replace the panels, we get a run around. Technician came out again 4 weeks later, they replaced 3 panels that were broken but not the ones growing algea. The technician tells my husband, they shut off a few panels until they can replace them. We were told the next week we would get a call to set up a time to replace the panels. 3 weeks went by nothing, we call them and the lady we spoke to says, "Your ticket was closed out and your panels are producing now!" "No they are not we check our production an usage an they arent adding up!" "Well your panels are producing so your panels are fine!" Now I went up on our roof an the algea has gotten worse and the production of power is not even half of what we use to get the previous month or year when the panels were working properly. Its still an ongoing battle and to make it worse im told that with algea growing on the panels an with panels shut off on the house we cant pass inspection to sell our house, because al the panels need to be working. My next call is to call them back an then call California Attorney General, Im at my wits end an I think we've been more than patient for them to just honor the warranted an replace the panels as per our contract agreement. I wish I could leave no stars review because they are not a company I would recommend to anyone! Customer service , the people are great but the lack of communication an action to get things done is just absolutely ridiculous. read more

Been a customer for over 4 years, and now worried they are going under. They stopped track the energy I produce with their system about a year ago. No one notified me and now SCEdison wants to stick me with a $1400 bill, when usually I have a minus bill monthly with SCE. I have called Sunrun over 12 times, they called me back once and left a message with info. I set up an appointment with my representative for today at 10:30 then I get an email that their phone system is down. What would a major company have no phones. Try their chat and no response. It seems like a lot of system failures and now no contact. Are they going belly up? Now I am really worried. Finally got a message they acknowledged the problem but want me to wait until 12/22/2025, to resolve it. Another stall tactic. I replied since the problem started in 10/2024, used the 12/22/2024 date to adjust for 2024 and send me my guarantee. No response so far. Really a bunch of crooks. read more

Sunrun - Solar Installation Near Me

Although SunRun solar panels are pretty good. The outfits and personnel are so far out of reality. Frome the start I have not been told the truth at any given time. How long will it take to get my system running? Answer 30 days. Not!!! 4 months. If you need to install a new roof we will come out and remove and install at no charge. Wrong to R & I $5,670. What? Verbal comments are not in the contract. Same set of bullcrap when I got the second set of panels put up. The workers hooked up everything wrong they did not know their job enough to even be employed. now I am trying to get a permit for the roofing but Jurupa Valley City Hall will not give the roofing company the permit because the solar company did not get a permit to remove and install the panels. Now the solar company says they have to have a survey scheduled. letter from Sun Run; Someone will come out and get updated structural measurements of the home so we can update our plans. I'm now waiting for them to provide the site survey form then I'll call to get this scheduled. I asked how long will this take? The answer; The site survey is scheduling a week out. Updating the design plans can take approximately 1-2 months. Permits will take up to 2 weeks. As soon as I receive the site survey form we can start scheduling. Are you kidding me? no roof for a month or two? Why wasn't this done when they scheduled the removal which was already done? I think I need an attorney. read more

Sunrun - now a dissatisfied customer without a roof. - Solar Installation Near Me

Sales reps are disrespectful, arrogant and aggressive. They don't take no for an answer. The minute you say you're not interested they proceed to disrespect you. The reps that you sent out are overly confident and egotistical. Their fragile little egos can't handle a woman telling them no. The moment you say "no thank you" "I'm not interested" is when their pathetic little egos show. Attempting to passive aggressively accost me with questions about my decision. Guess what? It's none of your business. I don't have to tell you anything! Your reps are disrespectful and unprofessional. They are walking, talking proof that you don't have to be sentient to survive. The human equivalent of participation awards. Complete garbage individuals. It's like you picked them out of a dumpster and offered them jobs no questions asked. Stay away from Sunrun. A company that hires employees like this have no business being in business. read more

The worst communication from a customer representative (KASEN CALLISTER) and customer services I have ever encountered dealing with a company. Started the project good. He was quick to respond and get us the info and assured us that we should be good to get panels. Once we sent the deposit and the install pre-check guy came out Kasen went MIA from any calls, email and text . when I was trying to figure out what was happening with my install. I had to call the company directly to learn we had been cancelled. He never let us know we were cancelled. Claimed to have sent an email which we never received (even check my spam, nothing.) When I asked to resend the email so I can review why, he never did. And my deposit hasn't been returned and the company can't do anything but have Kasen reach out to me about it after I've texted to ask when I should be expecting my deposit back and haven't heard back. If I could give them less than 1 STAR I would. read more

Hello we are Erron and Lora De La Torre. We are reaching out to you today because we have been a victim of Costco and their affiliate program with Sunrun Solar. Three years ago we decided to get solar panels and batteries through Costco via Sunrun. We thought going through Costcos for this solar project, we would receive the same customer service and quality as in the warehouse stores. In the past we also bought our automobiles through the Costco car buying program and even though you are dealing with a private dealership. The dealership shows you the Costco special pricing list and gives the highest quality customer service. But Sunrun is the opposite... at the Costco warehouse you set up an appointment. Salesperson comes out to explain what is the best option for your home. I trust Costco so I went with Sunrun recommended, now two years later Sunrun comes out to install the solar project. You might be wondering what happened in those two years. Well there were a lot of phone calls to Sunrun and Costco. I went through 4 project managers. Resigned my loan documents three times, because the loan documents expire if the solar project is not installed within a certain time frame. At Costco it's very hard to speak to anyone in the home installation department. After the project was installed, the installers explained to us our system has permission to operate (connect to the grid) from Edison and have us sign documents on the installers iphone. This gives the ok to start financing, but we did not have permission to operate. Our home was not ready for permission to operate until 9 months later. During those 9 months we were making payments on the solar loan, but had no permission to operate from Edison. Sunrun did pay us back that part of the loan, a very small amount. Now we have a $2500 plus and of the year electric bill, when Sunrun told us you will be just paying the loan back that there will be no bill from Edison, you will be getting money back from them. I call Sunrun and Sunrun really doesn't want to be accountable for the high electric bill. Our home is only 1200 square feet and it's only us two that live at our address. No electric cars. So finally I got a hold of Costco in the home installation department. And Costco said everything looks good to them. Now because Sunrun does not want to be accountable for the salesperson,s mistake designing our solar system and misleading us. If you look at the attachments you can see month to month of our electric bill. The first month was over $800. To me it looks like the 2 Tesla batteries are costing us more money to charge them than what our house is using. With the cost of solar system loan and the year end electric bill. Now we are paying about 2.5 times for electricity. We are willing to help any news network to help other consumers to not go through Costco in home installation or Sunrun especially when Costco can't do anything if you're ripped off by their home installation partners. Technically you are buying the solar equipment from Costco, but you are not. Costco does not have anything to do with in-home installation partners. It seems that in-home installation partners are paying Costco to sell their equipment and services. If this is the case, Costco should be transparent with this information. Any more information any news media needs, we are willing to give. We thank you for your time in reading this, we just really do not want any other home owners to be taken advantage of by Costco and Sunrun and their predatory practices. Costco will return a vacuum 3 years after purchase, but they will ignore their members when it comes to standing between them and a paycheck from an affiliate.

After a year and a half after installing the system, I reached out to Sunrun to find out how much it would be to payoff my system. I was told by Sunrun that I couldn't pay it off for 5 years because my contract didn't allow this. I mention that I had never heard of this type of provision in a contract and did not remember this being explained. The Sunrun representative then said I could pay down the system but when asked if I could pay it down to a 1.00, without incurring interest, he could not answer my question. I contacted the Department of Consumer Oversight and they informed me that Sunrun financial practices were not licensed in California, perhaps this is why!!!! I suggested that all other contracts I recall entering into allowed a no penalty pay off agreement, she agreed this is a California practice but this company is not based in California. I intend to pursue this matter because i believe this is an unfair business practice and should be disallowed. In any event, I felt it important that other consumers be aware of these shady arrangements so as not to fall into the same trap. read more

I was promised my electric bill would be close to zero. Come to find out it wasn't and still have to pay for the solar bill. Tried to talk to management and they want to suffice me with a few hundred. I need more panels and they want to charge me double for them. I would not recommend Sunrun to anyone! read more

The worst financial decision I ever made. My energy costs more now than before sunrun and all they want to fix it is more money.

Where should I start?! We got solar panels installed in January, the rain started and there goes our roof leaking in several spots. We contacted Sunrun and to this day we have not received any help or even a response. We are pretty much getting the run around and because we have a contract we can't remove the panels to fix the roof. This has been the worst experience. We were given a claim adjuster that to this day has not once communicated with us. I had to spend about two hundred dollars on tarps to cover the panels. And of course all the buckets for the leaks inside. read more

This company is a scam! All they care about is their commission and money. They say you are going to save more money by having solar panels installed, but you end up paying an upfront yearly bill (ex. $800) and then you receive monthly bills with Edison. The only excuse they say, "...you went over your usage" Basically, you are going to pay them to use the roof of your house to assist the city than help your own household. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I have had my solar system since 2014 and although my system was contracted through Grid Alternatives, Sunrun was the provider. I had to have my house re-roofed in May, for which Sunrun charged $5,790.00 to temporarily uninstall and reinstall the panels. Fast forward to August 2024. I now have a $927.00 electric bill. I called Sunrun, they remotely checked the system and said it was fine, I insisted they send someone out. They sent Grid Alternatives out. Long story short, Sunrun reconnected only half of the system. Sunrun had assured me I was eligible for compensation. They wanted to compensate $120.00 , not acceptable, they came back with a final offer a week later of $210.00. I also opened a case to attempt to recoup at least a portion of the fee they charged for their shoddy workmanship to which there has been no response. I have never seen a company So unwilling to take responsibility for their poor work and errors. Instead, they want their customers to just suck it up and take it. read more

I didn't want to accept that but they don't want to give more. This is NOT RIGHT!!!!!! read more

What a waste of our time. A representative knocked on our door and I made the mistake of opening my door. After he made his spiel we decided to make a appointment to meet with him, we signed on the dotted line and yet made another appointment for a roof and attic inspection.

My husband texted him and he said he had been sick but would call us the next day. That was 2 months ago.......
