Solar system doesn’t work. Still within first year, system shut down on its own 2 times and unable to reboot independently. Initial scheduled service got canceled and wasn’t rebooked for 2 months, after service, stopped working 2 days later. No service appointment again for 2 months. All while paying for the monthly payments. They don’t respond to emails and customer service just read the contract and tell you, how you signed up for this. Wouldn’t recommend using Sunrun as your solar provider under any circumstances.

Do not answer emails, etc. don’t keep in touch with you. I believe mine is turned on and nobody has told me anything about it. The people that installed it were great guys and done a good job but they need to pick up customers relations.

Jonathan Herman is definitely an asset to the SunRun company! He was a pleasure to work with and knew answers to all of our questions and concerns. He is knowledgeable in going step by step in making us feel comfortable in our decision to add solar. Once the system was installed, he took time to stop by to see if we had any questions or concerns. He gave us insight as to what the next steps will be while finishing up with the finalization. We are totally happy thus far and know that we will have a great relationship with SunRun.

For starters Johnathan Herman the sales breddah did a great job setting things up for us. He explained everything and made sure our system would help us get off a unstable grid. The install team was fast and guys really made it look easy. Really good group of local guys got it done. Also really appreciate Marika for sticking it out with us while we built our home. She kept checking in until we finally were ready to get solar. Contrary to popular belief most of the people I dealt with were Hawaii based locals and really great people. Sun run is here to stay and if you need solar give them a cal

I had a positive experience with the Sun Run team. Starting with Chelsea who showed a lot of compassion and expressed wanting too help families save money on their utility bills. She brought up really good points that made me realize I should look into solar panels and back-up batteries further. My next interaction was with Dustin. He was very patient and answered all of my questions. When I didn’t understand certain aspects of the system, he patiently explained them to me. I felt comfortable moving forward. Even though I prepared myself for a long process of approvals from the utility company

Warranty
“of contract, 5 year roof penetration warranty, 24/7 system monitoring Who…”

Years in business
“for the energy those panels produce over 25 years—replacing part of your utility bill.”
Elsewhere
- It is also reviewed on the Better Business Bureau and ConsumerAffairs. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.
- It posts on Pinterest, X, LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.
What we don't know
- The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
- We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
- We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
