Our neighbor used Adam and highly recommended his company. We decided to contact Adam, as well as, the company that inhabits Costco. After speaking with both, it was a no brainer to go with Adam. From the get go, he was knowledgeable, personable, and up front. Once the initial inspection and measurements were taken, we were provided a detailed proposal that laid out the costs and financing options. Shortly thereafter, we received the design layout, that was subject to our approval - no approval needed cos it was perfect placement. From there, we just waited for OUR City's permit (took forever, but no fault of Adam). Adam keep us updated throughout the entire process/wait. The install was done by noon, as projected by Adam. Installers were on time, a little noisy, but did a superb job! Victor/Viktor was our first (inspection/measurement) and last point of contact. He was great cos he was here to oversee and deal with the City Inspector. All went without a hitch from start to finish. We've had solar for about two weeks, the 12 panels generate plenty of kilowatts and we're going to end up with a nice credit on our SCE bill. Do it now, before you lose the 26% Fed credit (going down to 22% in 2023, and gone in 2024). I, too, HIGHLY recommend Adam and his associates! read more

They disappeared near the end of my solar installation and fully ghosted me. After multiple assurances that my application with SCE was submitted and I was locked into NEM 2.0, I later found out the app was never submitted. I don't even want to think about what that will cost me over the next couple decades in lost rebates. I'm trying to work with Enphase and a local installer to get this finished. read more

We were scammed by Sunscout and have been ghosted by them. We were assured we were on Nem2.0 and they rushed us through the process. I was on the phone with Adam for 3 hrs the morning panels showed up at my house after explicitly telling them not to come until we had confirmation our application for Nem2 was in. He assured us our application was in over and over again and LIED to us to have it all installed. Panels were installed in April. It took until September to get approval from the city. My wife and I had to walk the inspector through since they kept failing to show up and failed 6 times. After final we were just waiting for Sunscout to get us interconnected. Had another 2hr call with Adam and said get us connected or show us proof we were on Nem2.0 and we will release retainage. He refused and said he had no confirmation and was using a third party for the applications that were under NDA and could not disclose info. We called Edison the next day and our Application was only put in August meaning we missed Nem2. After asking how Sunscout would fix this. They have ghosted us. Edison is horrible. Anybody been able to contact them and try and get interconnected? Per sunscout they just needed to be notified we were approved by the city. Also I started this facebook group if anyone wants to join and discuss how to resolve some of these issues. Search FB "Sunscout and Nem 3 is a scam" read more

Went with SunScout based on neighbor's system. Adam Barnes was very responsive during the sales process. Answered all of my questions promptly and promised he "would take care of me" This included the addition of CTs (current transformers) to my system. The design, permitting, and NEM paperwork went flawlessly. The installation on 9/2/2022 went well with a few minor issues. It was a hot day installers wanted to finish which was understandable. At this time I was told they did not have the CTs. They did not register my system so I had to contact Enphase to activate to use the Enphase Enlighten app. After a few months with no CTs, we ordered them to install ourselves. Upon opening the panel on 11/17, the CTs were there the entire time, not connected. Contacted Adam via text, who said he would get back to me. Never heard from him again. Someone in the office did reply and I asked them who should I contact in the future if I have any issues. Never heard back from them. System is working great, but I haved been ghosted, read more

The work quality was good we passed on first inspection. However, they did not file our paperwork with SCE. We have been ghosted by the company have not heard from them for a month. Our panels were completed march 13, 2023. It's August 22, 2023 and no evidence that the NEM 2.0 has been filed. We recommended SunScout to our next-door neighbor and he gave them $1000 to start engineering on his project and he has been ghosted as well. They do not answer their phone. It's very frustrating as we spent a good chunk of money on this project. read more

Stay away from this company. Completely unprofessional and did not complete the job they promised. Never connected our system and we missed NEM 2.0 when i filled paperwork in March. They left the job in shambles for me to pick up all the pieces. They took their money and ran. They don't even have the decency to face their mistakes and call their customer. Instead they send the delayed emails with incorrect information. I've met few people that actually do business like this. Adam is one of them. I don't think I'll ever receive a call from them. They will force me to take legal action against them. read more

SunScout does not respond to our request to verify if Interconnect paperwork was filed with SCE for NEM 2.0 . They told us that they used 3rd party to file and are waiting that party to provide information. It has been longer than a month. They do not reply to repeated emails and phone calls go on answering machine. Really wonder if they believe in themself. Avinash A read more

If I could give 0 stars I would! They completely ghosted us after taking our money and not finishing the project. I'm reporting them to the Better Business Bureau and seeking legal action. Read the recent reviews and STAY AWAY FROM SCAMMING SUN SCOUT! We have paid for Sun Scout's services out of own pocket. Our contract was signed back in December of 2022 and work didn't start until April of 2023. They were quick to charge us and install the panels without connecting them - - so many things went wrong with just the electrical panel, but again we were patient. Now that we're almost in November of 2023 we need the panels to finally be turned on and approved by the city. Where is SunScout? Ghosting us! They are not returning any calls, text messages, or emails. Save thousands of your hard earned savings and go somewhere else! They'll be hearing from the attorney we hired this week. read more

Adam checked all the boxes and explains everything in a way you can understand. We chose a finance plan that was lower than our monthly bill and I haven't received an electric bill higher than 12cents and actually am in the negative sometimes. The installation was like Croatian special forces. These guys were super precise and efficient and took pride in the install. Couldn't be happier with it aesthetically .Compared to other installations I've seen it's very sleek. Would recommend to friends and family read more

I work in the medical field and didn't know the first thing about solar. I reached out to a close family friend who owns a successful roofing company who insisted I talk to Adam. First I did my due diligence by researching several solar companies, then reached out to Adam. He explained everything in the simplest Laymen's terms and addressed every one of my concerns. He is passionate about solar and knows all aspects of the industry. Before you decide which solar company to work with, call Adam, even if it's 5-10 minutes, you won't regret it!!! read more

SunScout team is very professional, fast and reliable. They installed my Solar panels on my flat roof house. I would highly recommend them.

We had been looking into going solar panels but had hesitated because of gimmicks from other solar panel sales reps. Process was very clear and transparent with Adam. He was project manager and he notified me of all work being done at house. We had our roof replaced. Great job by roofing company. We also had electric panel and HVAC upgraded. All work passed city inspection on first visit. There was always direct communication with our project manager, Adam. We are extremely satisfied with the panels. They look great and we are saving lots of money. read more
