What What would you ask for from a solar company? Solar functionality is conceptually a great idea. Having great customer service is a great idea. Having affordable energy is a great idea. Unfortunately Sunrun can’t do any of these. I guarantee you you will never hear from your local case manager unless you live in a remote area, I would imagine. Solar technicians are a joke and I would say one out of 10 actually know what they are talking about or looking at. For six months I have been paying for Sunrun and my energy provider due to the system not being set up correctly. They agreed to process the refund but it has taken me months to get any sort of progress will be filing a claim with the Better Business Bureau, not that they really help.

Will dox you to random strangers I have had almost no problems with the service, the setup and the sale rep were very up front about how long things take to get permitted in Hawaii and that I wasn't charged until the service was fully operational. That was all great. But then 2 years into having the system working flawlessly, I get this guy, Josh Robinson, contact me from Sunrun. Josh told me I needed a solar checkup and to send him my power bill. So I sent him a screenshot of my power bill and he sent me back a power bill of another customer as an example. This power bill was for someone on a different island and it was entirely unredacted. I could see the name, address, account number, payment methods, phone number, etc. All was there on this. I raised a concern to Josh and he blew me off, in fact he hung up on me when I got upset that he didn't think it was a big deal. So I called his boss and his boss downplayed it as well. These guys don't take your privacy seriously and will just randomly dox you to other customers!!!

Sunrun has antiquated data feeds and no access to real or near-time solar data Please release a live API so I can start monitoring my data in realtime like a big boy company. Or at the very least allow me to access my own SolarEdge data. Its been 2 years and it is very irritating and annoying. I can get my data from all my utility compaines but my solar company is providing some useless graphs or charts that my 8th grade team could produce. Note to SunRun #release the data in the form of an API or through the solar inverter company. This is ridiculous!

Beware of Sunrun's contract scam I scheduled a consultation with Sunrun as I was exploring installing solar panels. He came to my place with my colleague and the meeting went well until he told me the next step was to sign a paper so the Sunrun team could come to my place and measure the roof. He presented me with his iPad and told me all he needed was my signature on the page. I said I was uncomfortable signing a document I didn't read, and he pressured me to sign. I refused and asked to see the document instead. It turns out it was the purchase agreement for the solar system with a price of over $13k and he wanted me to sign it. I was very upset, ended the meeting, and escorted both sales guys out of my house. This was a very bad trick, and I'm sure some people would have signed the contract without knowing they were purchasing the system. Beware of Sunrun's misleading sales techniques

SCAMMERS! Sunrun’s sales rep Kyle Marshall lied to my face! He assured me that if my roof is old Sunrun would replace it at no cost to me prior to the installation of solar panels. Based on this assurance, I signed a contract that same day. A couple of weeks later I received a report, stating that my roof is good. Now, only a few months later my roof is leaking! I have reports (with pictures and drone video) from 3 accredited roofing companies who clearly show that the roof has multiple cracks, missing and broken shingles, exposed roof nails, there are numerous spots with algae and moss, indicating that the shingles are letting water get through, etc. It is absolutely clear that the solar panels should never have been installed on a roof in such conditions. I have exchanged several dozen text messages, emails, and phone calls with Sunrun’s so-called “customer support” who are openly rude and unhelpful. After 3 weeks of daily messages on my part, a case was finally open. The case manager, Judith Jordan, had the audacity to tell me that there is no leak in my home! Even though I have proof to the contrary from 3 roofing companies! Now Sunrun wants to charge me to remove the solar panels; panels, which should not have been installed in the first place! I have spoken with several other families in the neighborhood, who have signed with Sunrun, and they all confirm that the same has happened with them – the sales representatives would offer to replace the roof and even cut down nearby trees to maximize access to sunlight, but once the contracts were signed, none of this has been done. This is a clearly established pattern of misrepresenting their services. Additionally, Sunrun ignores / doesn’t warn the property owner of the poor condition of the roof, because later, when damages occur, Sunrun can charge the house owner extra for removing and reinstalling the panels. This is not simply negligence but an intention to defraud! Frankly, it borders on extortion! I am filing complaints with the county and state division of consumer affairs, and with the BBB. Sunrun’s dishonest and predatory practices, and abusive behavior to their customers should not be allowed to continue!
