GBWhat 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.

GBSunrun 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!

GBCan't read "No Soliciting" signs Derek ignored THREE clearly posted "No Soliciting" signs on his way to ring my doorbell. I told him "No Soliciting" and he quickly played it off saying "I just wanted to let neighbors know we will be doing some work in the area." I said "Ok, I'm good with that." He commenced to try to sell me on Sunrun anyway. I told him that I have done my research on solar companies, and would like to own solar panels over renting, and I will be contacting the company of my choice when I decide to get solar panels. That company will not be Sunrun. My neighborhood also has a shared email list that we openly communicate through. I will be warning them about Sunrun, and hopefully they will be able to cancel their contracts.

GBSCAMMERS! 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!

GB***SUNRUN IS THE WORST*** I signed up… ***SUNRUN IS THE WORST*** I signed up for solar through sunrun over two years ago. I was sold on a bunch of lies and misinformation that I won't even get into. I was paying $150 a month and my panels averaged $40 a month in power. I have spent the last year and a half dealing with sunrun and their absolutely awful customer service. I spent the first 6 months being told there is nothing wrong with my panels and that I signed up to receive this crappie service and there was nothing they could do about it a i signed the contract. Then I spent 6 months dealing with a rep in some kind of escalation department. That rep was trying however she would go over a month without returning calls or emails. Finally I got a supervisor who agreed to terminate my service, have the panels and equipment removed and return my roof to the same "general condition" it was in before the panels were installed. They told me everything would be done within 30 to 60 days. It took 30 days to even schedule anything. 60 days to get an appointment. Then on removal day no one showed up. 3 weeks later a team showed up and advised me that while the are taking large brackets out of my roof, they are not roofers and they aren't comfortable preforming these repairs. It was going to rain so I asked them to have a roofer come out another day. Then 3 weeks later another team shows up and asked when a roofer was coming out. This team as well did not have a roofer and they told me they could remove the brackets but they wouldn't like be able to do it without damaging the roof. All the time this is going on Shawn Badders my case manager is almost impossible to get ahold of and when I call no one will help me. Now I'm a year and a half into this battle and they are refusing to send a roofer to repair my roof. Sunrun has been extremely unprofessional. They have mislead and misinformed me through every step of this process. I am going to be reporting this to the better business bureau as well as seeking legal opinion as this has cost me 100s of hours of my time and I'm out a lot of money. DONT CHOSE SUNRUN FOR SOLAR. They are nothing but frauds. I'm sure there are much better solar companies pit there. Other people in my neighborhood have had these same problems and are fighting this same battle. Save yourself the time and find another solar company. Mary Powell serves as the CEO of sunrun. I hope she knows how awful their customers are treated
