Gregory J.

Very unhappy with our SunRun experience so far. Our system was installed this Spring and is rated for 8.91kW. It has never gone over 5kW even now during the summer. I don't have any trees or other obstructions, the panels are all in direct sunlight, and SunRun customer service just gives me the runaround that 'everything looks fine on our end.' They implied my power usage was higher than the previous year and asked if I was using a new appliance or electricle vehicle. I haven't, and that would not affect my solar panels producing less than 60% what is guaranteed. Clearly something is wrong when my panels are only producing 5kW maximum when the sun is directly overhead, when they should be producing 8.91kW. I had to push for a tech to come take a look and their earliest availability was nearly a month out. Then they no-showed, and pushed me back to the end of this month. Today my solar panels stopped working ENTIRELY. 0kW production. I contacted support again, and was again lied to and told that everything looks good on their end. Once I reiterated that I had a solid red warning light on my inverter and I am looking on my Tesla app for real time production of 0, so whatever they are seeing is wrong, their tune changed and they told me to email customercare@sunrun.com some pictures after a hard reset failed to solve the issue. (Note that the SunRun app only checks your system once per day, so they are not even looking at a live/real time system performance. They were looking at yesterday's performance, before it stopped working). So I sent that email with pictures, and immediately received an auto reply that the email is no longer monitored and to contact the chat line for support. I am not getting what I paid for. Edit: next morning, SunRun app now shows 0 production from yesterday about 7am onwards. They can get a sales rep and inspection to sell you a system out the same week, it shouldn't take over a month to get someone out to inspect the installed system.

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!!!!!

I made the mistake of allowing SunRun to sell me on the dream of going solar. On the Dream of having one bill and that was to purchase the power from Sunrun. That was the worst mistake I have made in a longtime. I honestly believed that they would design a system that was going to help me save money. They sell you Dream alright and then you really it's a horrible Dream more of a nightmare. Dealing with the horrible customer service they have and the lack of knowledge there so called experts have. So from beginning to now nearing the completion of my first year with the system they designed as experts. For 11 months I complained and said something is wrong with this system. Me not being an expert realized right away something is wrong. For 11 months SunRun treated me poorly while I still paying them month after month after month. The worst 11 months of doing business with a company I thought would care about the customers that will help spread the word of the good book of business they run. Well that was not the Case 11 months of saying my system is not performing . 11 months it took for them to realize they installed my system wrong and I had three pinched wires this whole entire time. From what the te h told me in his work my inverter was not working properly because of the carelessness of the techs who installed my system. They supposedly check and maintain an eye on the system when they first start it up and how this was missed for 11 months is insane. They made me believe I was wrong dealt with three case managers because the customer service was so bad. They would say we will get back to you with more follow ups. When I would follow up the case manager Dustin would make me feel like I was an inconvenience to him. Dealing with SunRun and its team has been just a nightmare and if I can protect someone from making the same mistake I made. I will be able to live with myself and my horror story of the day I allowed SunRun into my home to sell me the Solar Dream. Nobody is perfect and yes we make mistakes but owning up to them is not the SunRun way. They will pretty much tell you hey it is what it is. I added some photos to show you how it can go from system okay to 11 months later the system was running with three pinched wires that nobody caught and when I asked they had the audacity to say well SCE also should have checked and they said everything was fine. I'm buying power from SunRun to avoid SCE and here they are trying to Blame SCE for the Install SunRun did. Please do your research go to the BBB Better Business Bureau and checked the Reviews and believe the horror stories you see on there. This company really does have that bad customer service. Read the reviews on Yelp and Google . This company is really that bad with customer service and dealing with customers. Learn from me and stay away far away. I added some photos to show you the lack of communication and be ready to see your system always showing error and them saying oh that's normal.

DONT DO SUNRUN, if I have known still cost my electrical bill, I will never even install it. I paid 218$ for solar,and 90 bill to sdgc. Before I installed the solar, it's only 160$ for SDGC. They are lies!!!!

That is today's chart. Did not charge at all!!!

I attempted to contact Sunrun and informed them that my solar is not working for the reason that I am still getting $400 bill from SCE on top of having 20 solar panels from Sunrun and 2 batteries. Before Solar my electricity bill was only $200 but more on summer of course because of the use of AC. But now instead of me saving from having solar I am paying double. I am paying Sunrun $255/month then I am paying SCE $300-$400 a month. Everytime I contact customer service they will only say "your battery is working according to our record and they will not send anyone to our home to inspect the system. the last time our batteries was charge was June 13 and until now my solar batteries are not working and yet when it comes to billing are they are quick to collect. I am stuck with this company for 24 more years so I don't have a choice to deal with them!!! But I will not recommend to get Sunrun. Whoever is reading this please do not get this company!!! Try to research first!! Bad customer service and they won't help you at all!! And when we signed up they told us that we will have two back up batteries, come to find out they have given us 2 non back up batteries!! They are only good when the billing is coming other than that they are no good at all!!!

Can't run my ac without being charged by Edison.
Gabe N.

Horrible service. I can not run my ac without being charged by eddison on a sunny summer day, but they refuse to send a technician out to see the equipment unless I pay 190 dollars for it. My power consumption per Edison doubled in 1 year even though there are fewer people living in the home now. They think the wireless signal can actually tell them the voltage at my panel that the meter is seeing and not just what the panels are producing. There is no one with actual technical knowledge of electricity to talk to. I bought this home and inherited this lease, but I would never do it myself or recommend them to anyone else.

Who else can I call to service Sunrun equipment?!

See all

Update for my review with OC - Savannah from customer service reached out regarding my experience…read moreand expressed regret over how things went and changes were actively happening at the company. She offered a free panel cleaning, which she set up internally and had their team come out this past Friday without issue. Since the cleaning the panels have been much better performing especially after these past few weeks of misting and rain, about 25% higher output. I didn't think much of it but I get now it's worth doing to get the most out of the panels. Overall a very good response and experience with OC specifically for this issue. I feel that they do want to stand out from the crowd and responding proactively to feedback gives me more confidence they'll take care of issues as they hear about them.

Poor communication and project management…read more My project has been underway for 8 weeks and I'm still likely weeks away from having a functional system (despite having paid over $30K out of pocket). I've had to repeatedly chase the team for basic updates with no follow through. Throughout the entire process, I do not believe the team followed up with me directly, I have had to chase every single update since signing the contract. The original system design I agreed to did not fit my roof (despite them measuring on-site before I approved the quote), during install many roof tiles were damaged and replaced with used (very dirty moss covered tiles). Hopefully I have a functioning system sometime soon, but I have been extremely disappointed so far.

I wanted to share my recent wonderful experience with my recent service visit with Infinity Solar…read more I purchased my system in 2024 (detailed review also done); during this time, my solar generation has been absolutely wonderful, and sized perfectly by Kay. My electric bill is essentially free over all of 2025 and this year. Some months have a $10 dollar bill, other months negative depending on how sunny each day is. I have had zero issues whatsoever and system works like clockwork. The installation over my tile roof, done through Terrazas roofing, partnered with Solar has also been top notch with zero issues with multiple major storms last year. I would say i was 110% satisfied with my decision to go solar and with Infinity solar. Fast forward to 2026. A series of recent power outages resulted in no power in my home. My initial thinking was that my system should have generated power with a fully charged battery during this outage. After calling Infinity, it was relayed that my system per contract was only set up for load shifting by design, lowering cost which I had decided on. After discussing 2 options to allow for backup power generation, i decided to proceed with the upgrade. Throughout the process, the entire team supported me exceptionally, starting with Sara who stepped in to help speak to me when the service department was not available at the time. As i did'nt understand my contract fully,, i reached out to Kay in sales, whom i did not speak to in 2 years, who really went above and beyond to explain to me in full detail how my system was set up, and options i had to upgrade. Kay treated me like family. I was so appreciative of her kind approach. She helped coordinate a technical call with Joel to fully answer all my technical questions. Once i decided i was comfortable with to proceed with the upgrade, the service team took over, with Vanessa and Brianna helping me schedule my service. Vanessa and Brianna work tremendously well together; super friendly, pleasant, professional and helpful. I requested looking into a couple options which Vanessa followed up on and accommodated without hesitation. A straight forward and exact quote was provided on Thursday. Their service and help was fantastic and greatly appreciated. Upon approving my quote on Thursday, my service was completed on the following Tuesday, much faster than I expected. Upgrade was performed by Ivan, electrician specialist. Ivan also initially setup my system in 2024. His expertise is perhaps, in my view, the finest in the industry. I felt very fortunate and appreciative knowing i hd my system in the best hands. He spent about 3 hours working on my system, explaining all the steps. Work performed was tremendous. Ivan patiently answering all my questions on some of the system parameters forgotten over the past 2 years. System was up and running and verified to work fully with a simulated power outage performed through the fuse box, and through the app. I was thrilled to now have backup power during outages. Billing and final payment was as quoted and super easy. In closing, the real mark of any business is how you are treated after the job is complete. My belief is that Infinity solar lives up to their reputation of being an exceptional 5 star company providing high expertise solar services through all phases of a project; sales, installation, commission, operational life, and post installation services. In a business of fraught with fly by night companies, Infinity Solar is a true gem. Solar done right with integrity, highest expertise, and exceptional, prompt service when called on. Thanks again to the entire Infinity team. 5 Star once again! Dave C

UPDATE: Sadly, changing my original 5-star review to 1 star…read more I'm really disappointed to have to update my original review. When we purchased our solar system from Infinity Solar in 2017, the installation process was great, and we genuinely felt they went above and beyond. We were extremely pleased with our experience and had no hesitation recommending them. Unfortunately, fast-forward several years, and our experience has been completely different. Recently, one of our inverters stopped working. Given that our contract includes a 25-year warranty covering workmanship, labor, and certain equipment, we naturally reached out to Infinity Solar expecting them to stand behind their warranty. Instead, we were told we would have to pay $550 just for someone to come out and assess the problem, followed by additional hourly labor charges for however long the repair would take. When we questioned why we were being charged these fees despite our warranty, the owner, Tim, explained that we lived too far away, that the business wasn't doing well financially, and that it essentially wasn't worth it for him to send someone out. He even mentioned that they were considering closing the business altogether. Needless to say, we were shocked and extremely disappointed by this response. We trusted this company with a significant investment, in part because of the extensive warranties they offered. To now be told that servicing our system isn't worthwhile to them because of their financial situation and our location is incredibly frustrating. Ultimately, we hired another company that came out and repaired our inverter for just $300--less than what Infinity wanted to charge simply to diagnose the problem. It's unfortunate because our initial experience was genuinely positive. However, a company's true commitment to its customers isn't just demonstrated during the sale and installation, but in how it stands behind its products and warranties years later. A 25-year warranty means very little if the company is unwilling to honor it when you actually need service. I sincerely hope Infinity Solar reconsiders how it treats its existing customers. Based on our recent experience, I can no longer recommend them, particularly to anyone placing value on their long-term warranty promises.

I contacted Sean and he explained everything I needed to know to make a decision. Sean gathered the necessary information from me and soon provided me with an estimate of my solar requirements. He followed up with a visit to my house so we could finalize the deal. Sean was easy to work with and very knowledgeable about the industry. It has been over a year since the installation and we are very pleased with the results! I also referred another neighbor to Sean that resulted in another successful installation! Thank you Sean

I'm a return customer of SunPower and know the product somewhat better than your average customer…read more I price shopped around. Synrg Solar was the cheapest. You pay for what you get. SunPower is Top Tier in performance. I've had my experience with a previous dealer than went out of business, but we won't get into those details. Synrg Solar / Sean Demarinis you are dealing with Sunpower. Synrg/Sean Demarinis is to the point and will get your Solar System spec'd out to your needs. Installation will be completed by Sunpower Employees not a sub-contractor. Throughout this process Synrg Solar / Sean will keep you updated on your progress in regards to updates on parts and city permits. We met Sean in Oct/Nov 2022. After many discussions and price comparisons, nobody came close to Synrg Solar/Sean pricing. We signed the documents and were set to go forward. Installation took 1 day for 15 panels. Sunpower crew started 7am and completed by sunset. My system is a little different than others. This is an additional solar system (2 Solar Systems) on my residence with 2 Tesla Batteries. Cash purchase which will give you the cheapest price quote. There were some little issues in regards to monitoring due to the 2 seperate solar systems, but was all rectified. You can always go directly to Sunpower by calling the 1-800 numbers, but I cannot guarantee you'll get personalized service updates of your project as I did with Synrg Solar/ Sean. I wanted this system in-place up and running before NEM 3.0 took effect and also take advantage of the Federal tax credit of 30% . I give Synrg Solar 5 stars for the service that was provided. Thankyou Synrg Solar. I'll provide Photos at a later date.

And now they've sent us to their lawyer as if it's my fault they never answered me. Lawyer also doesn't respond but did threaten more charges in the letter. I'll end up paying the full amount just to never have to deal with this company again.
