Worst Solar Company Ever!
Worst solar company ever! I've purchased multiple solar systems and they are the absolute worst. I had to use them with the purchase of a new home. They were way more expensive than others. The products they used were fine but their service is horrible. I received an email that my system was underperforming. They found my system wasn't communicating. I called their service department and they told me I didn't have a warranty. I had to go through three tiers of customer service and send them my contract for them to agree that I have a warranty. They said I had to sign an agreement to pay in the case that it was caused by physical damage but hat otherwise it would be covered by warranty. They got it communicating. Sent me a bill for $580 and refuse to acknowledge my warranty. I'm disputing it with BBB. They have multiple class action law suites against them. Stay away from them if you want someone that stands by their work.

Poor communication and representation
At first I thought my rep was great, however, now I realize I was lied to and given false promises. I was told that I would receive 6 months free service, lie! When the system was finally activated, we went into contact in September and it activated in April I did receive some free months but that was because they ran so late and I asked one of the installers how they could compensate me for running so behind. I never got the 6-months free promotion and now in 2026 after talking to multiple representatives they say they are going to send me a gift card but I have not received it and I keep calling them. When I called again today they said there was some hold on my account which sounded like another lie to me. In 2025 after activation, I reached out via e-mail to 4 people that helped before the system was activated and not one person responded. I also called and left messages for two of those people and never heard back. If you want to be lied to and treated like shit, sign up with Sunrun. One of the worst experiences I have had with a major company.

Lies and late
I will list just some of the lies we were told and as for late. It took for ever for instalation and they would just show up no appointment. Lie 1: it saves money. I'm in Texas so electric bills are high in summer low in winter. Here we are in January and between the electric company and Sunrun 400.00. We are "renting" solar panels that don't produce. It's sunny all year long in Texas. 2. Lie 2 :Any promo they promise make sure you see it in writing. We were promised a rebate of the first four months. Recieved 0. 3. Lie 3: Vivint security system. Works with them. They no showed an appointment with us. We were told we would receive a 100 gift card. Never got it.

Horrible experience with Incompetence
Solar stopped working. Called for repair. Tech comes out and rings the doorbell asking where meter is. Tech disappears without fur to er communication. Call the office and they have no idea and say someone will call us. I call office back. They claim things are working. Things are not working, error message remains. No resolution.

Total Lies
Please do yourself and your family a favor and run away from this company. It’s nothing but lies and they go out of their way to keep you from actually saving $$ by locking batteries and such. You have to be completely mental, like myself, to willingly kick your self below the belt

Poor customer service and ethics
The day that our solar was supposed to turn on, they were having issues getting it started and it took two weeks for someone to come out and get it fixed. During that time, I was paying Sunrun (when nothing was working) and since I wasn't getting any solar, was also paying my local energy company. When I asked to adjust the start date on my bill or prorate that first month, they refused and said I signed a contract that said I start paying from the date we're allowed to turn on. I asked if there's an assumption that the equipment works on that day and they said no. As far as they're concerned, whether or not their equipment works does not matter. Ridiculous ethics and customer service. I'm also disappointed in them not making the most of our roof. Their original design had such sparse panels for the amount of available roof, and it didn't cover our electrical use. I had to ask if they could add more, which they did, but after installation it was pretty disappointing to see that they definitely could have added more to fully cover our bill. Would not recommend.

They lie, I was told they are independent and would not use my current electric company. I now pay two electric bills exceeding way more than I would if I would have stuck with my current electric company. Worst part they get you to sign the contract before you ever find out and when calling them about it they send you to customer service instead of the person who came out to your house and sold you on their services. I can’t even get a call back from them. If you’re thinking about it, save yourself the headache and don’t do it.

Terrible Experience
I would not give not even one start if I could submit without rating. I bought a house with solar panels from Sunrun and since Aug. it has been a nightmare dealing with this company. Sunrun claims that there was a glitch and my acct. was tied to another property on the west side of the country. They decided because of a similar name that I had to pay for service for this home plus my property in the east coast. I had spoken to at least 10 different rep at 10 different levels and have not resolve my issue yet! Every day I receive phone calls from collections asking for payment for the house at the West coast but U I have explained that is not my house and that I do not have nothing to do with this house nor know anyone at that location. I would ask for ANYONE to think twice before dealing with SUNRUN. Very bad service and their staff don't know what the hell are they doing. They rather lie saying everything is fixed but 2 days later I still receive a payment request for a property that is not mine. I have 4+ months dealing with this for almost everyday on phone and for 2hours each time and NO ONE can fix their "mistake". Next step is to get an attorney involve because SUNRUN is not able to cooperate on fixing their issue. DO NOT GET INVOLVE WITH THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH A LOT OF ISSUES JUST LIKE ME FOR THEIR SO CALLED 'GLITCH'

Forgery and Racketeering
I allege that they used the CALIFORNIA Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Solar Guide signing through DocuSign as a means to accessing my internet connection in order to fraudulently forge my signature on contract documents. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. These people are very professional and slick. Confidence men to be sure Take a hint from their name don't walk run!

Avoid
We had problems with installation and have current on going problems with it running. Avoid this company at all costs. Customer service is a joke. We’re now stuck in a contract that is not being fulfilled by sunrun.
