My landlord had a sales rep come give her an estimate. Our houses are connected by a single wall. All of the sudden my husband and I started hearing moaning and sounds of intimacy. The sales rep was have sexual intercourse with my landlord SHES 85 years old!!!!! Who mind you doesn't remember half of the things she says. This company is disgusting and needs to be shut down with their morals and values. They need to watch out for who they hire. I called my landlord she apologized for the noise and said she was humiliated. I called sunrun and they're not doing anything about it!! read more

Started installing system mid-March, still not operational 6 months later after multiple visits to repair parts of the system, two failed county inspections followed by repairs. Beyond this technical incompetence, customer support is non-existent (web chat only, with people who know nothing and can do nothing). Avoid completely is my advice. read more

We had a positive experience with Sunrun. Specifically, Nick Miller was very helpful and responsive throughout the process. We had our roof completely replaced in addition to solar panel installation and Nick was always quick to respond when we had questions or concerns. His experience and professionalism made the process smooth. I have recommended Nick and Sunrun to my friends and family who were also looking to install solar panels. read more

The worst company experience ever!! Vivant merged with Sunrun. Do not do business with them. Very unprofessional! While they were installing the solar panels on the roof, one of the workers dropped a metal pipe on my car causing damages to the car doors and the window. (Newly purchased to me) None of the employees said anything to me. I didn't notice until a day later and called them to file a claim. They admitted fault and said they will be paying for the damages. It's been over 2 months since they have said they will send me the check and they keep giving me every excuse in the book. I have called and emailed them every week and no one can provide me a definite answer on when I will get paid. My representative is always on lunch, out of office, phone is broken, or saying money is being sent out this Friday. Other representatives are clueless and are of no help. Really?! Their excuse for lack of contact was their phone was broken. That's how bad their service is. No wonder they have such terrible reviews. Any one looking to do business with them should look at other companies. This has been a nightmare. I have no idea if I'm ever going to get paid for the damages they inflicted to my car. If you want poor installation, poor customer service, damages to your property, late payments then this is the company for you. read more

Jason Childers has been first-rate in coordinating our solar panel installation ... always responsive, never any pressure, clear answers, etc., etc. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Highly recommended!! read more

Bad experience. They send a staff to knock on my door harshly, not polite, not targeted or proposing any solution.

Nick is our sales and help us along with the whole process. He is super responsive (including weekends) and patient to all my silly questions. It is enjoyable to work with him! read more

I inherited this system when I bought the house. It has always underproduced even after I cut down trees at their suggestions and even added an additional system that they put in and for which I pay. They've not responded to any of my calls for two years. When finally I was able to get hold of someone to help me, they admitted that their system was underproducing and offered a renegotiation of the contract but the new contract showed no change in what I owed and when I asked them to remove the system that they admitted was not designed properly they declined. Now I'm stuck paying for something I didn't receive and it's up to me to hire a lawyer. This company sucks. Poor service and lack of responsibility. So unhappy and wish I'd never continued with them. read more

I purchased panel from sunrun about 8 years ago. Their last service visit, something happened and our panels stopped working. We were not notified our panels were not working and received a very large pg&e bill. After many service calls, we found out that some wires were stuck in a few pipes (their error). We tried to get some credit towards our PG&E, which they refused and said they are not required to notify customers if panels are not connected and this was our issue. I reminded them, their technicians are the ones who worked on our panels and were the ones who got the wires stuck in the pipes. Their response was maybe we should get a lawyer. read more

I just had a solar PV system installed at my home by Sunrun. Overall it seems to be a bargain basement system which does not function like a high performance system. They use really low-quality Chinese panels which are at the bottom of the overall performance curve. Their online App is really crappy and does NOT provide any REAL-TIME power production information or details how each panel in the array is performing. They had promised me that the system would perform like a micro-inverter based system and would be able to view the performance real-time and correct issues such as partial shading and identify defective or low-performing panels. They just seem to be in the business of raking in the money and make you sign up for a service contract for a system that should not need any ongoing maintenance, since there are NO moving parts. The have a central inverter in their configuration and supposedly have "power optimizers" which optimize the production of the panel array. read more

It's been almost a year David Clark-Riddell was our contact & he was great.planning & install was great the ISSUE I had is I didn't want a sub contractor to do any part of my job since it always goes bad & it did.the electrician they hired are from what I saw young kids going from job to job they started at 7am finished around 8pm idk if they had a license or used the companies, cheaper labor most places do that they also used cheap Eletrical panel for underground work (inspectors words)& FUCKED up my HVAC UNIT.the inspector told him to account for the hvac which needs more power.been having issues ever since.been at my house 7 years no issues at till then.every time I bring it up to Sunrun they try to resolve it & the electricians have all these excuses.they could have brought up any of these issues before & when they installed the panel.they always have a excuse why it's not their fault.even when I complained before the Sunrun rep who hired them defended them Instead of seeing what the issue was.they are out of Salinas so Idk she knew them & that's why she defended them or it's not the 1st time this crap happen.I like the Sunrun system got it thru Costco but they should vet their sub contractors better & have standards.I waited this long to review since I didn't want to make a review of the 1st month or so.I did it now because once again my ac unit is having problems Again & guess what it's electrical again.I wonder why.BEWARE if I known what I know now I would have went with another company or had stopped the work & asked for someone else.it's a big company so I don't know why they would hire a 1 star outfit to handle their jobs. Ps does this picture of their job look professional to you?the 2nd pic is my fried hvac system 2nd time but they insist it's our fault.3stars for the good job they did 1star for the electrical company they hired. read more

In November 2023 Sunrun finally installed my system after more than 6 months of waiting and preparation I undertook at my expense in lieu of waiting. The system was interconnected with PGE in June 2024. The generation has worked on and off since then. The app has been faulty all along. I contacted Sunrun' s each of the 5-6 changed point persons without much helpful response or intervention. Two wks ago PGE turned my power off for 6 hrs for some line repair a block away. My backup battery did nothing as if it was not even there. I could go on but in summary, the worst experience ever. To date I do not know my battery status , the consistent kWh generated or my house reliance on it. Will I get some support ever from Sunrun.? read more

A review that is long overdue. We have approximately 28 panels and a back-up battery. It has made such a difference in our electric bill and we had power when PG&E power went out. Sunrun has been wonderful to work with!! Sunrun contacted us to let us know that the panels were no longer contacting Sunrun, which meant we needed a Wifi booster - which they provided and installed!! At no cost!! The back-up battery was old and Sunrun told us it needed to be replaced - which they did!! At no cost to us!! We couldn't be happier with the service and the change in our electric bill. Now if PG&E would quit finagling around with the bill (what the hell is a true-up??), we would be ecstatic!! read more

SunRun salesmen ignored our two "No Solicitors" sign twice in the last two months, once on Saturday at 5:00 PM. That type of rudeness is unacceptable and is indicative of poor customer service. read more

The SunRun sales and install staff were great, and we thought we were happy with the $38,000 system that we paid cash for. But. But a power surge killed our "inverter" and SunRun promised a replacement six weeks ago. Six weeks! When we call the sales line, someone answers right away. But when we call the service line, the hold time is more than an HOUR! And then they say they'll have someone call us back and then they don't call back. We've tried twice over a two week period. I would call again, but, it's a waste of time. I hope this review gets some action for us in Culver City. read more

I have had my system for over (10) years and had it removed for a roof install. Four weeks later and it has still not be re-installed. They are still billing me monthly. I have been on the phone (3) times and been cut off twice. Horrible customer service. I wish I did not have to deal with them at all. read more

SunRun contract states that leases can be bought out at FMV. I tried to get a quote and compared to brand new systems from installers in the Bay Area and found SunRun said FMV of my 12 year old out of warranty system was almost double the value of a brand new high efficiency system. When further discussion I found SunRun falsely claims they hire an independent appraiser and instead they run a software program that generates a number and clearly has nothing to do with market value. They then send your case to an call center contractor who refuses to state anything other than that the purchase price and will not refer to any supervisor for clarification. read more

This company SUCKS! I am sorry that I ever got involved with such a horrible excuse for a solar company. They came out to change the inverters on my system 3 weeks ago today (I had 38 panels on my roof) and 2/3's of the panels are still in my courtyard.st three weeks I keep getting shoved off for another week and another week and now until the end of July. No one seems top care that I am missing the longest most productive days of the year. The customer is not first in this company. Its all about heir investors and the dollar. I have talked to 6 people about this in the past 3 weeks who hAVE ASKED ME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY MY SYSTEM IS OFF THE ROOF as thjey are thinking about going solar, and I told everyone of them to run from sunrun. Don't even entertain using them as they will be nothing but trouble and heartache. For a star rating, I would not even give them one! I had to give them one only to get this to post. If you want to hear all the details of this night mare of a company!!!!! Rick Hopp read more

My solar that quit working on 2/19 was finally repaired on 5/19. 3 months to diagnose and fix a new 8 panel system. What finally got someone's attention was my bad Yelp review. I was assigned to specialist who was supposed to be my point of contact. We set up a time for her to call me and that day came and went without a phone call. I then got passed off to someone else. It took several visits with techs showing up about every other week. At one point a single tech came out and he said that he needed another tech but the dispatch system assigned him twice to my house for the same day. I think their dispatch/service system could use some software tweeks if it allows the same person to be assigned twice to the same address for the same day and time. I've yet to receive any info on why my system quit working, what was done to fix it, and why it took so long. Communication is not Sunrun's forte. During one of their tech visits their truck got stuck in my driveway. They used my floor jack to lift the truck and get it moving. My floor jack was damaged during the process and I was told it would be replaced. That was well over a month ago and I've yet to receive a replacement for my floor jack. One of Sunrun's selling points is that they are the only solar company on the stock exchange. Well there are cell phone and cable companies on the stock exchange and they also have a bad reputation for service and customer neglect. I would put Sunrun's customer service on par with the cable and cell phone operators. I regret ever calling them for my solar. read more

Hello I did not receive solar system through Sunrun. Sunrun took over my contract about 4 years ago. I have two systems on my home and garage . Now Sunrun uses Spruce to do the repairs. So two years ago I was having a problem with the garage. A riso low with a red light showing. So the repair was done by replacing the invertor. But the problem remained. So a year later Spruce sent out a company to check over the whole system they found burn holes through the backside of most of the panels. And now a year later the repairs have still not been done. Evey time I call Sunrun I get a new person on my case I think I am on number 5 now. I never get a call back or update by email from Sunrun. My last call 6 days ago. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Assonet Ma 02702 read more

This is the 3rd time I've tried to contact Edgar Amaya since he replied to my 1 Star review, as a current customer, trying to warn others of the difficulties I've had with Sunrun responses and lack of quality service. Below is the response from Edgar: Hello Charles A., my name is Edgar with Sunrun Customer Care, can you please provide me with your service address to further review this situation? Thank you, Edgar Amaya Sunrun Customer Care Edgar.Amaya@sunrun.com Below this response from Edgar is a place for me to a respond, giving my address and city so that Edgar can look into things for me. I've tried to follow this link more than 4 times and always got a message to the effect "Oops! Something has gone wrong" and my response was not sent to Sunrun from YELP. If you'll notice, below Edgar's title, there is Edgar's email address. I've sent 2 emails to Edgar.Amaya@sunrun.com and no one has responded. This is what you have in store if you get involved with the "free" solar panels offered by Sunrun if you need them. Next step is the BBB. read more

Sunrun - Solar Installation Near Me - San Jose, California

Do not - under any circumstances - hire this company. We signed our contract June 2021 and our system has not been completed (June 2022.) At installation it was discovered the LG batteries could not power our system. Installers missed the clearly labeled and installed conduit and installed another. Later and against my wishes they installed two Tesla batteries outside of our garage (not inside the garage.) Due to local code, the batteries (because they were installed outside) needed bollards, so our inspection failed. That was several months ago. In April a technician came by and said it would be no problem to put the batteries inside and to redo the conduit, and yet - nothing. We missed last year's fire season and the 2021 tax incentive. It appears we will miss the 2022 fire season and possibly the 2022 incentive. Oh, and we have already paid $18K. We have called, emailed, and worked with three of their upper tier customer service reps. (I have been informed at least 30 times that they are "discussing" our account.) We had no choice and hired a lawyer. Don't put yourself through what we have gone through, hire ANY other solar company. read more

Our family has been debating whether we should try out solar or not for years. Everytime it was either costly and expensive or the providers never really answer our questions... This all changed when we were contacted by Sunrun. Their customer service was really helpful, pleasant, and patience! After our initial call, an appointment was set up within a week with our sales rep Susan Floyd (650) 313-0939. Throughout the process, Susan explained the entire process thoroughly, point out what we need to consider, what will be expected, the power the panels will produce, how much we will be saving, the initial cost, etc. Susan was there in person for the contract the entire time, answering all my concerns and make things work for us. We truly appreciate her help (even after everything was setup and running)! Truly, she helped us negotiate the setup cost, saved us money in utility, and occasionally check up on us! You can definitely feel that Sunrun cares about their clients and the environment. read more

Please read reviews about sunrun. They have gotica contract that are differenti from what there salesman state in person. Im now paying an additional $1200.00 per year with solar?? BBB complaint has gone no where. Waiting for the class action lawsuit thats pending. read more

These guys were wonderful- professional, communicative, fast. Good follow-up and transition to us running our solar. Highly recommended!

I am happy to have an opportunity to show my appreciation for the very professional, kind, careful and safe work that the Sunrun crew demonstrated throughout the time that they worked on our installation. The leader of the crew was very knowledgeable about the process and communicated with us in a way that made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the time that he and the rest of the crew worked here. I wold truly recommend Sunrun if anyone asked me what my opinion was. Again many thanks. I also want to thank and acknowledge the kind and considerate communication we had from the Sunrun office management you all were very comforting and helped us understand the process from beginning to end...Sincerely Warren Cane read more

My daughter just got a postcard in the mail from Sunrun letting her know they had prescreened her credit and she has been prequalified for design, installation and maintenance. SHE DOESN'T OWN A HOUSE. Good job on that prescreening and quit looking into people's credit reports! WHO does that? From the look of your reviews, you guys should be busy fixing the existing systems you've already installed.... read more

One star is to much to give this company. My husband and I have sunrun at all our residential homes. We get a monthly invoice that emcompasses all of our properties. The bill is paid timely ever month. We have all the records to prove that the invoices have been paid monthly. Sept 2020 we did not get an invoice, we called to find out where the invoice went and got transferred to collections and were told we owed $500. When we asked what month and which location they screamed at us and hung up! We have had to hire an attorney to help us get answers and an invoice so we can pay Sept and Oct Its so sad that as company this big cannot get their billing and accounts receivables correct. I would say find another solar company, theses people are not organized read more

The Good: Good people. Straight ahead. Helpful. Conscientious. Good sales rep. No obvious installation goof-ups. No horror stories. All pretty straight forward. Financing was smooth. Sunrun does 95% of the financing interface for you. I think I interfaced with Financing in the form of 1 web page, 1 time, click here, finished. That's not to say you don't have to have your docs in order, oh yes, you do. But if you have decent credit you will spend absolutely no time following up with underwriting. Post installation follow-up was great. Sunrun wants to make abundantly clear to their customers that they are going to be there for you over the long haul. So they put sufficient manpower into making sure customers feel taken care. The Bad: Ok, not so bad if you're ready for it.... Be prepared to docusign several documents, 5 times over, because their various software platforms apparently don't interface well with one another. So, Let's just say, the signing process is high-maintenance, which is not so bad for me because I'm hi-maintenance myself so I have no right to complain. Also, I have no record of what I signed. I signed so many times I completely lost track. I could have signed the Declaration of Independence for all I know. Now I have to get Sunrun to send me copies. Good thing I trust them. The mysunrun app is not so amazing. It seems like every time you move to a new screen, the app downloads new data from the inverter even if not prompted. This causes an annoying delay while the app churns. Not very tech-savvy. The Ugly: The panels they installed are butt ugly--dozens of exposed brackets around the edges of the glass. You're used to seeing sleek blue or black panels on the roofs as you drive through your leafy neighborhood? Not my panels! Butt ugly is a compliment! They would have been OK on most 2 storey houses, or on the back facing parts of the roof, but not facing the street. I fault the sales rep, who steered me towards this brand knowing that they would be facing the street the rep should have taken into consideration curb appeal and recommended sleek-looking panels. We all make mistakes, I guess. Please don't let this one happen to you. read more

Update 2/8/22: still being ghosted! Update 2/2/22: guess what everyone? Response from the company belowis 100% for show. I responded to their private message and they ghosted me again. Solar was supposed to be turned on yesterday. PG&E says they still haven't heard a response from the deficiency letter sent DECEMBER. 8 months and counting we've been paying the finance company with NO SOLAR. Thanks Costco for recommending this AWFUL company. Failed inspection x2. Chronic unresponsiveness. Half a dozen deficiency letters from PG&E. WE'VE BEEN PAYING THE FINANCE COMPANY SINCE JUNE 2021 AND OUR SOLAR STILL ISN'T ON. No one will help us. We feel like we're being scammed. read more

I finally found the most incompetent sales fool in my life. I welcomed this bum when he called for his survey of my situation. He was mumbling all he can while at it but I told him to give me the WRITTEN estimates so I can study, understand and discern as much as I can before making a fool of myself. Well, he promptly sent me his estimates and the first thing I found was the 33 year payback....! Here's our email exchange. He expected me to remember what he said than what he wrote...!!!

Worst customer service in the world. We purchased a system in December, it was installed in January, activated 2/28/22 and went online and still not producing anything and we're already at the end of March. Getting a hold of a person who can help you is damn near impossible. I called the number chat support provided and finally gave up after being on hold 1.5 hours and never getting to speak to a person. Once they get paid, they don't care about their customers even the ones with systems that didn't even work since day 1. Can't believe we spent $25k on a lemon. Nobody seems to care and they keep giving me the run around telling me to "just wait longer" for someone to call me. They sent a Vivint tech out last week that swore our system was working and online. He said it just needed an update...then left and surely enough, it's still not working. Our 5.6kw system has only produced 9 kwh in one whole month (less than half what it should in one day). Totally frustrated and clearly, our system is NOT working. I finally spoke to someone who said you might need a new inverter, but don't quote him since he's not a tech. Can someone just get out and fix my system? We thought we'd get better service going with a bigger company, but boy were we wrong. Run for the hills and hire the other guys...any other guys. These guys will take your money and then ignore you!!! read more

Worst customer service I have ever had. My solar system has been non functioning since 7/21/2021. This is on a system supposedly monitored 24/7. I have contacted Sunrun customer service at least twice a week and get minimal response, basically a scripted email that they will contact me in 3-5 business days. What a joke! No one has followed up as to when this repair will happen. I am beyond disappointed with this company and Costco for continuing to support them! Do not use this company!!!! read more

Our Sunrun experience has been great! Nick Miller and the rest of the Sunrun team were amazing to work with. Nick patiently answered all our questions and worked with us on sizing our solar system for our needs despite multiple back and forth questions from us.

He kept checking back with us to ensure the project was progressing to our satisfaction and was on track. Thanks Nick! read more

I wish I could give a "null" rating, because they did not show up. We stopped by at Costco. The sales guy at Costco was nice. He answered most of our questions and for those that he was not able to answer (he is not an engineer) he was pretty honest. Then we scheduled a consultation session. Just one day before the consultation they sent an SMS message to remind. However they did not show up on that day. I re-scheduled two work meetings waiting for them ... Not sure about their work quality / customer service; we never reached that stage. :) read more

Terrible! Door to door sales rep's are rude, condescending and after you say you're not interested they continue to come back day after day!

I contacted SunRun for a solar installation estimate last year. I went with another solar company. Ever since then, SunRun kept calling me and leaving voice messages.

Really bad company. I invested $22,000. For that if you call Sunrun with any issue, they will route you to 100's of 1-800 numbers. X will call you, Y will call you. NOWAY..NOBODY calls. They try to steal each and every dollar from you. They will send 100's of pages of documents with all their clauses. Run away from them. Use your dollars for your family. Buy some vacation time.
