Their door to door staff just stand there and spout lies to you. They first start off saying the are part on Oncor. Then saying solar is 100% owned by Oncor. They saying if you produce and store all the electricity you need behind the …

Not worth it. Complete waste of money. Would never recommend to anyone. Worst “investment”. I still get a power bill on top of the bill for the panels.

Nothing short of perfect customer service and the installation crew was FANTASTIC. We have contracted with Sunrun for solar panel and battery installation using their new product. The initial agent was thorough on walking us through the product and the contract. I'm no spring chicken so I've been down this road before. All my questions and concerns were appropriately addressed. Sunrun handled the approval process through my HOA (not easy) and the city: a piece of cake. Even better, the installation was OUTSTANDING and the crew (Gladiators) did a wonderful job. The crew (Nicholas, foreman; Nath

Outstanding job from a team that consisted of Tyler Parker, Alec, Lasharae Love and Christine Lim. They kept me informed every step throughout the process, from install date to completion date and answer any questions I've might of had when I call. Great Job!!!

Topics Google derives from the review text, with how often each appears. A frequent topic is not a good one: “price” turns up in praise and in complaints alike.

Elsewhere
- It is also reviewed on 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.

The ones without a link have no page here, either because Google does not categorise them as solar businesses or because we could not match the name to a listing with confidence.

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.
