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

***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

Knowledgeable representative… The very knowledgeable rep who discussed Sunrun in detail made it easy to understand solar how it works and how it works in your home. She covered everything from contact to installation. I felt very informed and comfortable signing contracts. The workmanship was timely and professional. I am waiting for energy company to do final inspection and start up. I have had several question which were answered quickly because rep knows about state laws. I am totally satisfied, actually more than satisfied with Sunrun

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.

Just best to avoid this company Just best to avoid this company. It's a micro-managed assembly line outsourced sales nightmare. Anytime a company operates via "customer portal" with the exception of your medical care, don't walk, run. A design, engineering, construction and sales company can't operate like amazon! Breaking off human interaction and creating a web based robotic system to handle customers is ridicules. The entire industry needs to clean up its game. From false and misleading advertising, detrimental financial contracts, bogus promises to 3rd party outsourcing, solar has become a nightmare that 10's of thousands live every day! This company has done its share based on my review and thousands of others its only goal is to take your money and head down the road to the next victim.
