GBLow Energy Production I am glad I came to this site because at first I thought I was the only one experiencing issues with this company. I had my solar system installed over a year ago and instead of saving money I have ended paying more to my electric company than I did before the installation. The panels have been producing little energy even on very sunny days and I can’t seem to get a technician out here to look at the problem. When I call Sunpower I am told it’s a problem else where and that I should contact my electric company. During the winter months my electric bill is almost $500 per month keeping in mind that my heating system is gas. The summer months are almost equal in comparison. Today for instance it a bright and sunny day and the panels are only producing .1 percent of my energy when I first checked and five minutes later it’s producing 3.8 percent. This system seems to be flawed and my attempt to get a tech to look at the panels have been futile because all I keep hearing from their end is that the panels are working.

GBWaiting over 6 months now - Does not prioritize customers with warranty UPDATE: SunPower replied that they would escalate, but that’s been promised over the phone multiple times already. Canned review responses to show others that they are receptive to customers is more of a ploy. If they truly cared then they would actually resolve the issue immediately. If and when they do that, my review will reflect that. Original Review: My inverter broke over 6 months ago. The service person who originally came out explained the model I had was problematic with many inverter fails with other customers. He couldn't do anything and originally said it would probably take a month or so for a new inverter to get ordered and shipped. I was patient for many months, but after many phone calls and emails, all SunPower can tell me is that they are still waiting for the manufacturer and cannot give me any concrete details of when. The exact same thing every time I have called and the same thing they state when they email. It boggles my mind that SunPower has absolutely no visibility into their supply chain. Supply chain management/software has been around for decades at this point. Everytime I called customer service and asked to speak to a superviser, I was told it would not do anything, etc. I don't even know if my issue has been escalated properly, other than the word of the rep. And, in the mean-time, I have lost hundreds of dollars due to an inoperable solar system. It may even be thouands depending on how much longer SunPower takes. Had I known all this would happen, I would have gone to another service provider for a new inverter in the first place.

GB8 weeks to get service One inverter stopped working resulting in 30 panels going down. I "chatted" with someone who sent me directions to reboot the inverter but you need to be an electrician. Best appointment available is 7 weeks out

GBThis company is a FRAUD This company is a FRAUD! I purchased this system in March 2022 and since before install IT has been a nightmare! The system never worked for about a year now. I contact Customer service 3 times a day and everyone says something different. Technician came twice, they seat in the backyard for half a day, the leave the system working and the following day it does not work. same nightmare ... They are stealing my money. Now I am paying more to electricity provider and I have a monthly payment for 25 years with the bank. They are doing fraudulent practices I am very tired of them.

GBSunPower will not support you We have a system we leased from SunPower in 2012. We've never missed a payment and it has worked well. In Jan. 2024, our roof was damaged by a severe windstorm. SunPower is responsible for temporarily removing the system (at our cost) so that the roof can be replaced. I contacted them 7 weeks ago and they have not made any progress in locating an authorized dealer to do the work. I located a local solar company who would do it with permission from SunPower but they weren't interested. I offered to buy out the lease and they haven't responded. I am at risk of water damage to my house because SunPower support is non-existent. They'll respond promptly to emails but make no progress in resolving issues. In addition, they defaulted on a $300M loan last year and may have to declare bankruptcy or reorganize. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH SUNPOWER, YOU WILL REGRET IT!!
