We recently had a SunCommon solar canopy installed as our carport - we originally inquired with SunCommon because the solar canopy looked great and was just what we were looking for, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to work with SunCommon. The solar canopy itself so impressive—the frame and joinery is beautiful—and every step of the way, the SunCommon team were very responsive, proactive, professional, and friendly. The entire soup-to-nuts offering took care of every detail, including admin like permitting, interconnection, NYS incentives etc., making the whole process so smooth and easy. I highly recommend!

Beware of Terrible Service after, over 1 month
When your solar system goes down, will SunCommon be there for you with responsive service to get you back up and running? My experience says no. My pricey 40 panel system went down and I have been trying for the past 14 days to get SunCommon to send a service technician. Communication has been terrible and I still do not have a date/time for a technician service visit. I guess the technicians are being sent out to install new systems rather than service existing customers. How will you feel about your big investment in solar if you can't generate any power during a peak period? Pick a solar company that cares as much about customers after the sale as before. SunCommon has not been that company for me.
