This company has no integrity. They prey specifically on the elderly. They give a great presentation, giving all the positives of having solar. They leave out all the major problems with the contract they will have you hurry up and sign. Bottom line is they are selling you a binding 25 year lease. You cannot get out of this or sell your home unless a buyer is willing to take over the lease or you have to pay Sunrun an astronomical price to get out of the lease.(much more than the solar system is worth) It took them almost a year to install. Delays, proven parts that had to be reordered, etc, etc. They installed it wrong and I was then billed almost 4 times what I should have been billed. Multiple times during the process I told them to just forget it and take it out. (See next paragraph) Good luck communicating with them. I sent emails and got an automated response that they would get back with me within 24 hours. I never heard from them. I tried calling numerous times. You are passed from person to person and then placed on eternal hold. When they come back on the line they tell you that you need to talk to a specific person. Unfortunately, that person is never available. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was told they would not talk to me. They promised someone would call by the end of the day. No one ever called.

Sunrun is a top notch company in the solar panel industry. I was completely satisfied with everything about this company. From my first initial meeting to the completion of the project everything went great! Now I am pleased to say that my electric bill is down to about $5.00 / month. If I ever need more solar work done or move to a property that doesn’t have it I will definitely call Sunrun. Dale

Would not recommend Sunrun to anyone. Their customer service is the worst at best. The sales dept. tells you what you want to hear and then when you sign the contract you will never have any kind of support from them. They out source everything from service to customer service. The language barrier on the phone is difficult. The wait to talk to anyone at customer service is nothing but long. I asked to speak to a supervisor regarding an unsolved issue and it took 40 minutes to get to speak to her. She said she would email me the info I needed to proceed with this issue. Never got an email. One star does not even come close to how awful this company is.

1. System advertised and designed was not installed as per discussions, battery was suppose to be installed in garage for safety reasons, they installed it in the basement. 2. System does not do what I was told. Battery was suppose to work along side solar to help reduce dependence of grid, the battery will only go on when there is no grid power. 3. monthly payment was changed from 302 to 352 then another change in 18 months. to 501, none of this was discussed. I was send a form with my signature that i never saw and had. I spoke with two other people who where going through them and they also never saw that form either. 4. Has failed electrical inspection no main cut off switch. 5. Lied to about refer program. was told it was 1000 per person. I referred 2 people and was told that I was only getting 1 person for 500. 6. System percentage isn't going to be what they said after i spoke with a third party about what was going on.

The installation went smoothly and the system has worked perfectly for more than three years now. The cost was more than offset by the huge drop in monthly electric bills, from $250-350 a month to less than $20

We are truly disappointed in Sunruns'practice to honor the referral we were promised. The salesperson who sold us the system even contacted his company and informed them that they were wrong in not honoring the $1,000 referral that was initially promised. From this point on we will not refer Sunrun to any of our associates or friends. We've spoken to various individuals from the company to no avail. I previously served for over 32 years in the military, and honoring one's word brings a higher level of respect. Trust means everything....

What’s been the greatest thing about working with Sunrun Titan, from signing the contract to getting some improvements done on my house, which they did, and paid for, to the installation to updates of equipment. It’s all been completely stress-free.

Sunrun is the absolute worst company I have ever dealt with. My father signed a contract with him and then got cancer and died. They won't let me out of the contract. Every other contract he had signed or business he was involved with was understanding, but not this one. Dealing with them has been absolute garbage since the day I took over. And now they're insisting I either pay them $5000 to end his contract or sign a contract with them. I don't want to sign anything with such a vile, awful company. Ive been on the phone with them for 20 minutes this morning trying to figure out why I got a letter saying I'm 0 days past due on a $0 payment so they're shutting off the service and I have to pay out the rest of the contract now. And the best part is, my electric bill is still super high! I seriously cannot stress enough how terrible this company is.

We recently replaced our 30 year old roof. To do so we needed to have a crew come out and remove the solar panels and then replace them once the roof was done. The entire process was painless. The set-up, the crew, storage of the panels, replacement. It all went as smooth as silk.

BUYER BEWARE!! I would like to give NO STARS! This company lacks in maintaining and inspecting your solar panels- ours have leaked as a result of such negligence. We did have a private company come out to assess why it was happening. In over 5 years they have not been once inspected, nor maintained. In addition, communication or lack there of, has been awful. We had to schedule an appointment for one of their team members to come out as our roof was leaking into our attic… TWO MONTHS LATER during the rainy season. Well, they have now rescheduled 4 times. Nov. 14th, Nov. 22nd afternoon then rescheduled for the morning, AND NOW Dec. 4th. This last time they sent out a message confirming this date WHICH WE NEVER AGREED TO! Honestly the worst company. If you are thinking about going with them, you may want to think twice. I can send you the emails as proof— I would hate for anyone else to be coerced into buying/leasing their panels from a company who truly does NOT value their customers, or their homes. They are eager to put them on your house, yet not so eager to help you if the cause damage.

Sunrun is a great company to work without! All the professionals are friendly and very knowledgeable. The process was smooth and any questions we had were answered speedily. Choose Sunrun for all your solar needs.

The two is based on the missing service for installing a new system for a new customer. 1) The installation did not pass inspection. The Sunrun crew stayed a few hours, applying fixes for the reported faults, and stated the follow-up should be in about a week. 2) No appointment was set up. After no call-back, for two weeks, I scheduled an appointment. They NEVER updated the available days - for a while it was only 2 days a week - which became full week like everyone else. I told them twice - they NEVER updated their work order. 3) I was NOT informed that staying around to label the breakers was part of the PGE inspection. 4) The installation was Oct 14, 2023. With all the delays, and the reschedule to pass the inspection - the best they can offer is Dec 14, just before christmas break. 5) If solar panels are approved and activated before 2024, I will consider it a lucy day and buy a lottery ticket. 6) No solar power until half of winter has passed - with the winter heating bills. The flexible payment plans are great. Everything is great until installation has be corrected before the service is actually available.
