So far everything is going well. Would like to have a second battery.

I am very happy with my decision to go solar. My summer bills are nominal. The only thing that I am not happy with is Sunrun no longer operates in New York for new customers. I found that out when I recommended my neighbor.

I have been very pleased with the way the panels blend in with my roof. Also, the small amount of additional items necessary to make the electric hook up.

Sales team was excellent. Five stars explaining how a lease works and pricing. The installation team was 10 stars. They explained all technical things to a technical person including system operation. This included changes that needed to be made "on the fly" that occur when the planned installation design meets the actual home. I was informed of the changes needed. I was informed of any available options if more than one solution was available and the advantages/disadvantages for those options. Basically, they were knowledgeable, efficient, and communicating from beginning to end in the installation. This resulted in a very professional installation. Then we come to the after service support. This has two components. Hardware/installation and connection/billing. There were some issues with the Hardware that required the installation personnel to return and make adjustments. Something I expected because it is complex in all the wiring which had to be rerouted into a second breaker box that the backup battery can support. This also included them training me to understand what areas in the house are backed up for the battery I had selected. They quickly switched over a change I requested. The support side for getting connected with Sun Run, FPL and my Electric meter was a communications and procedural nightmare. This cost a star in the rating. The communication from the so-called customer satisfaction area was basically non-existent. FPL and Sunrun apparently were overwhelmed with installations. The paperwork required from Sun Run was lost or never submitted, so we were sending power to FPL through a one-way meter. This was indicated on the meter as being bought from FPL, which meant I was paying for the power I was generating. I resolved the issue by getting the Hardware support to temporarily shut-off my system and personaly submitted the required forms to FPL for the two-way meter. Once the two-way meter was installed and the system restarted, everything has operated flawlessly. This includes multiple power outages, from just moments to multiple hours. A lighting strike on the cable network system which damaged the cable boxes and stopped electrical power all over the neighborhood. My Sun Run system handled it without any issues. So, I am enjoying a reliable and fixed cost electrical system which has been stress tested and performing as designed. I now have a battery backup system and reliable power at approximately the same cost as my original annual power bill. My

Matthew and his staff of installers were great to work with. They answered all our questions and helped us set up a super app that keeps us updated on our storage as well as usage.

1 . Poor communication: After waiting for a month for an appointment, Sunrun sent me an email notifying me that someone would arrive on 11/16/23, but nobody showed up. I called them and they said they did not have a work order for that day, even though an email reminder was sent confirming the appointment. So, they set up another appointment for 11/17/23, and no one showed up for that appointment either. 2. Poor management I have had three different case manager for just this one work order of reinstalling five solar panels. 3. Unexpected arrival with late notice

5 Stars minus 4 Stars for the number of phone calls. I like the website and ease of use, however they won’t stop calling. They typically call 3 times a day and leave a voicemail. When I finally answered the call I was sent to sales to sell me another solar system. The sales person was informative and helpful, but answering the phone called increased the number of times they call per day and week! It doesn’t end!

I'm so thrilled with my Sunrun experience. At first I was the biggest skeptic. I was sure there was some angle where the company was getting the better of me, but after multiple spreadsheets, due diligence and some serious tire-kicking, the Sunrun deal turned out to be as good as they said it was. My rep, Damian, was incredibly attentive and worked with me every step of the way. His high integrity and great communication made the entire experience enjoyable. Now I'm the cool kid on the block with my snazzy new solar panels and Tesla Power Wall. As everyone else's PG&E bill continues to skyrocket, we're basking in the Sunshine of a locked-in low monthly bill. It feels like I'm the one getting the better end of this deal.

Buyers Beware! Right from the start there were problems. Not minor glitches either, but major discrepancies with what we were told by the sales person and what actually happened. The sales person initially stated it would only take a 7-10 days for installation to be scheduled and completed. However, it was well over 4 months before installation was completed. During the initial consultation, the sales person told us to submit 3 months of our previous electric bills and claimed he padded our regular usage by 1.5 times what our usage history demonstrated. He boasted this would be a huge cost savings, which we were happy to hear, being retirees and living on a fixed income. The sales person explained that as long as we didn’t go over our new set point for allocated usage, we would never again receive a bill from Edison. He then reiterated the only time we would ever receive a bill from Edison, is if we used more electricity than we generated each day, yet every month since the system was installed, we have received a bill from Edison for miscellaneous charges.. in fact our cost for electricity is now $40 a month higher with solar than it was without. Another issue we encountered was we were offered to add on to our order a battery back up so in the event of an outage we would have access to the power we generated that was to be stored as a back up resource, however sometime after the battery back up was installed, we learned through observation of the equipment, not collecting power. After calling in to customer service we were informed that 1. the battery was defective and would need to be replaced, and 2. they decided to change the manner in which the battery back up is intended to work. Now it was set to discharge whatever had been stored throughout the day, starting every night at approximately 4pm, to address peak hour electrical usage, so as to reduce the impact of higher rates being assessed by Edison… READ THAT AGAIN AND MAKE IT MAKE SENSE - we are generating 1.5 times MORE of our own electricity, than we had ever previously used, without solar, but now we have to worry about electrical usage fees during peak hours?! Next was the main board outage that was obviously not being properly monitored by SunRun, which while out in the backyard one night I noticed a steady red light, which intuitively seemed to be a visual alert that wasn’t there when the system was first installed. No one from SunRun noticed the system wasn’t working, instead we had to call customer service to ask why it didn’t seem like the system was functioning properly… they told us they’d have a repair team out right away, but even that took 3 days… Next is the billing mixup and the rude accusations from collections, aggressively harassing us, rather than taking the time to review all the transactions and explain where they were arriving at the discrepancy. We made dozens of phone calls requesting to escalate the matter of harassment, but no one called us back… we eventually went through all of our statements to figure out what happened and resolved the billing matter ourselves, no thanks to SunRun customer support. Finally, the (verbally) undisclosed annual rate increase that we only became aware of when the monthly billing statement price had increased. If we had it all to do over again, it would be a resounding “thanks, but no thanks” from us.

We had a nearly perfect experience with Sunrun. They installed our panels, explained everything and got it all working. However, our salesman had offered to throw in two electric car charging units for our garage. I asked about this a couple of times during the installation but the guys said they didn't do that. After the job was completed, I contacted the salesman about the chargers and he said he followed up with the company and at the time he took another job, he was told it had all been completed. I then contacted SunRun and forwarded the text mails between the salesman and I. The texts clearly show that he and I both expected this to be done but it was not in the contract. Sunrun offered me $100 for my inconvenience, watch out for the bait and switch.

Matthew S went above and beyond to make sure I stayed informed of what was happening. I was leery about going solar but not any longer. We were referred to Sunrun and Matthew by our lifelong friends. We’re happy this came together.
