Sunrun
reviews and complaints

Well, I normally don't write reviews unless I'm upset about something, and I was going to leave a positive review because of the professional installation, and courteousness of the installers, but they made a very big mistake, and now I'm upset!The installers told me that they would have to make a hole in the painted plywood of the inside of my garage, to run the wiring. I figured that there would have to be a hole made, and I understood. But, I made sure I told the installers that this needs to be taken care of ASAP, as I had to move a bunch of stuff out by the breaker box so they can do their thing, and also move a car out of their way. Well, it's been THREE WEEKS, and nothing has happened. Whenever I bug the salesman, he's always like "I'm looking into it", but nothing happens. So, two days ago, when I got the same song and dance, I called up Vivant, and had to pretend that I was a NEW customer, because when I press the prompt for and existing customer, I'm on hold forever! Anyway, the lady I talked to was understanding, and transferred me over to the repair department (which there's no prompt for in the menu). I gave the guy my name, and town, and he found me right away. BUT, he said that there's NO repair order for my property! Apparently, the installation crew that I PLEADED with to move this along ASAP NEVER BOTHERED TO SEND IN THE WORK ORDER! So, he emailed ME the work order, and I had to take pictures of the inside of my garage, and fill it out MYSELF!If that wasn't bad enough, I got a phone call late last week, from someone from Vivant, and he said that he needed to take pictures of something. So, I arranged for him to come over at a predetermined time, when my wife gets home from work. My schedule varies, but hers doesn't. Well, my wife was waiting for this guy to show up, and never came! Of course, the salesman said that it's the first he's hearing about it, and will follow up, but you know what it's like with salesmen from anywhere...their your best friend, but once the job is done, or the car is sold, you're "who" again?The salesman originally told me that there will be something similar to a breaker box cover, with a door, so that could be accessed. We even went to ***, and *** and tried to find just the covers with the doors, but we would have to buy the whole box, and just use the cover. One of the excuses the salesman told me over the phone, was that he'd have them just send me a check for an amount, and I'd put the cover on myself, which I had no problem with, if it would get done sooner! That's why we were looking for the cover ourselves. But of course, I never got that answer either!I'm very upset, as you can tell, and want this situation remedied! I'm not going to be waiting all summer for this to get fixed! I have to leave one of my cars outside all the time, until this gets fixed! It's bad enough that I don't even know when the system will be "turned on", so I can start building up the credits, while it's really sunny out!

I wish I could give Vivint solar zero stars. Buyer and Renter of Vivint Solar BEWARE!i'm now stuck in a 20 year contract with Vivint after believing what the salesman told me in front of 2 other witnesses and then signing the contract! Live and learn! There are companies like Vivint/Sunrun that have their salesman tell you whatever it takes to get you to bite and them youre stuck! For 20 years, no less!Our salesman, *** said he took my medical discount with my electric company into consideration when calculating if solar would benefit me and decided it would. he used an incorrect amount that my electric company was charging me and so he said solar would benefit me monetarily when it won't!He also promised that my bills from Vivint each month would be 1/3 ofwhat I was paing my electric company. The bills from Vivint have arrived and they are in essence the same as what I was paying my electric company! He lead me to believe I'd be paying for the electricity I was using but after I signed the contract, it showed that I was actually going to have to pay the amount the panels were producing, NOT the amount I was using. So that when I found out I was only using 800 kilowatts in a month, I got charged for ***! That also means that if I go away on vacation for a month and use no electricity, I will still be billed a chunk of money like normally because my panels will still be producing electricity!Vivint sent me an email and note on my ap saying my panels were turned on Jan 1, 2021, but after Jan, Feb and March went by, My electric company sent me a statement showing I owed them $300 for electricity! Vivint also charged me for that same period ($139 plus, $97 plus $34)! They admitted the panels were not actually turned on but they said when that happens, they esimate what they think the panels would have generated and charge me that! I have called several times and they said they would look into whether or not they will give me any money back due to their error and/or possibly a wrong estimation amount but I have yet to hear back!Also, Before I agreed to have solar, I checked with my condo assoc to see when they would be replacing my roof. They said it was due for a replacing but that they were behind. I told my Vivint salesman *** that maybe I should wait on the panels but he said that Vivint would pay for them to be removed and put back on when the roof had to be replaced. I found out later that he did not have that put into the contract and I will now be responsible for the charge to remove and put the panels back on. And, the contract says if it takes my HOA more than 30 days to replace the roof, Vivint will then estimate my panel usage and charge me that amount!Ofcourse I tried to get ahold of my salesman *** and alll signs point to him having left the company. No one answers the cell number he gave me and that he was answering during the sale.!This is a NIGHTMARE! A 20year nightmare!I'd advise everyone to stay away from Vivint AND Sunrun since Sunrun owns Vivint , which happened in the midst of the solar process for me.Please, please, please, don't et this happen to YOU!

If I could give "negative stars," I would! Where should I start?!The horrible Vivint company has made my life a living hell! They have caused horrible stress and anxiety in an already sorrowful and stressful situation in caring for my Mother, cost excessive amounts of money for a service which was supposed to decrease costs, and wasted many, many hours of my time trying to resolve the issues with their shoddy, fraudulent company.First, their invalid contract (because Mama was not of sound mind,) was made with my elderly Mother who had many mini-strokes which caused severe dementia over the years. She was deceived/bullied into a 20 year contract (of which there is no copy!) and believed the electric bills would be less. Instead, fees remained at least the same amount, but were just divided between SCE and Vivint. In addition, Vivint made another fraudulant contract, and added additional panels which added ANOTHER ***, but did nothing to really decrease the cost! In addition, equipment was very often not functioning- either at all, or correctly, and several times appointments had to be made for technicians to come in to resolve the problems. Many hours were spent setting up and waiting for the appointments. In between appointments, the system woud be shut off, was not functioning, and yet the costs never really changed! The equipment seems to be very, very low-quality, and very inefficient.I stayed with my Mom to help care for her, her animals, and the house (which she had in a reverse mortgage; she used ALL the money, so left none for any probate.) Part of the bills were paid from Mama's account, and part of the bills were paid from mine. I did not have funds to purchase this home after Mama passed on Feb. 1, 2019. I cleared out the home in which Mama had lived nearly 60 years, found new homes for her rescue animals, and had to move. I was out of the residence in May. Vivint continued to deduct funds from the accounts even though Mama was deceased and I was not living in the residence, and do not own the home.I sent not just one, but TWO copies of the death certificate to Vivint. One was sent to their office in ***, and another to their office in Oregon. Also, I sent the information of the company to contact regarding the reverse mortgage on the home. After repeated and very, very lengthy waits on the phone, I informed them of the situation. They stated they had "no record" of Mama's death. I told them I had moved, and I did not own the home, and to stop taking funds from the accounts. After many, many attempts to get any type of customer service, (one day i was over two hours on the phone, being transferred, waiting, transferred again, and waiting, and transferred again and again, until the call was transferred to the original person with whom I had spoken. Seriously?! How very infuriating. It was at this point I realized that Vivint has no desire or inclination to resolve any of the issues, and removed the access to the bank accounts.I sent copies of the statements detailing the amounts of funds that Vivint continued to take from the accounts. I want this money returned to me- about $1,000.00, and for them to handle the situation.I believe that Vivint is also hindering the sale of the home, in an attempt to make me liable for the 20 year contract. I have sent numerous emails, as there has been no resolution by phone, and Vivint stated I should contact them by mail. When I did email them, they did not contact me back. When finally I complained about that, I was sent to another person to contact, and then again, another. I emailed and received no answer for an extended period of time.I hired an attorney, he sent a letter. There was no response from Vivint; rather they again ignored my grievance. I contacted the attorney. Again, he sent a letter- no response. I contacted him again, and still, no response. It has now been more than a month, and Vivint has done NOTHING to resolve any of these issues.I want my money back! I want to have the Vivint people held accountable for the fraudulant contracts with my mother who had dementia. I want them to stop interfering with the sale of the home. I want a written and public apology from Vivint for the horrible stress and anxiety, the panic attacks, and lost hours they have caused me. I want to be able to move on from the grief and sorrow of losing my beloved Mama as she disappeared furthur and furthur away each and every day over the course of many years. I want to be able to let Mama rest in peace, and for me to be able to remember her as she was before her dementia stole her away from me, and we were lost to each other.Grieving with no end in sight

I give this company NO STARS! The only bright side about this company is our sales rep for he did all he could in his power to advocate for us. And later to some degree our solar install coordinator, she seemed more responsive. But all of these people aren't decision makers and ultimately weren't in a position to solve our problem. I'm going to lay everything out. Surveyors: sent an initial surveyor and concluded that we didn't need a whole reroof even after signs of shingles granules in the gutters and pouring out of downspouts. I disputed his assessment and requested another *** sent one after 2months which started the add on the delays. Solar Designers: we spent 2-3 months arguing that we needed a main panel upgrade due to its age and relocation based on it being inside a doghouse & next to gas meter. They were adamant that we didn't and our installation will be via a Hawaiian tie. Fast forward 6 months, Solar installers came and weren't able to connect to our main panel because it was in the dog *** wouldn't comply with city code. You maybe asking why wasn't this not caught by their surveyor or design team? Simple, when a company focuses on cost reduction at the expense of qualification & experience, this is the result. Now we have to wait at least an additional month due to their ineptitude. Roof *** showed up at our house telling us they were instructed to replace half the roof. That was sorted out, thank goodness I was there. Mind you on their package, they claim that home owners don't need to be present when this was done. Just imagine if I wasn't here. End of first day, they didn't clean up properly and I had to spend an hour spraying my front porch and driver way because it was filled with roof dirt. They left debris in my neighbors property. On the 2nd day, I came home earlier to find out that they had taken 2 propane tanks without asking permission out of the outdoor heaters and used them to torch our roof. He didn't even apologize but simply said that he'll refill them after they're done as if he was doing me a favor. They didn't refill the tanks as promised when they finished and it took me several phone calls to them & complaining to their supervisor and finally 6 days after they replaced them with filled ones.They unscrewed and took out an old Transite vent pipe structure that is connected to our furnace. I had told them that this had an asbestos pipe inside and asked if they were qualified to handle such hazardous material prior to removal and they said yes. Almost a week later, my wife felt sick suddenly; nausea and throwing up. We thought it was an allergic reaction, food poisoning or Covid which she tested negative. Later that night when I went to close the basement *** few minutes after that CO alarm went off. Then we started to realize that she might be poisoned by CO. PG&E came and confirmed that there was a leak by our furnace flue that was dislodged by movement. Asked if we had anyone working at our house and said roofers and solar panel installers. They told us to call them so they can come rectify the problem. In the process of roofers unscrewing an aging pipe, it jolted our flue duct out of alignment. Also when the roofers came back to verify the problem, one of them unscrewed another Transite pipe in our crawl space. When I sent a video of this to his supervisor, he said that the roofer wasn't aware that it was asbestos which I find it hard to believe because I did state that. They sent an hvac company who refused to work on the furnace flue until and asbestos abatement company takes out the pipe. This is when I realized that the roofers were not qualified and they had tampered with it twice now. Sunrun home upgrade supervisor had the *** to say that our vent was an old system that we should've taken care of a long time ago but Sunrun will handle it out of good faith. His roofers messed up their work and placed me and my family in danger. It's been 2 nights that we don't have heat because PG&E red tagged us, Sunrun is dragging its feet and can't restore heat until next week on Wednesday. A week after they had left, I was still cleaning up debris from the roof replacement that included both small & big pieces of sharp metal flashings. We have toddlers and now I've to worry about them being hurt. We had a CO leak that caused my wife to be violently ill, red tagged by PG&E & caused us to lose heating in this winter, a possibly asbestos contamination at our house that was handled by their roofer who isnt certified to handle asbestos, 6 months delays due to their solar designers and surveyors ineptitude. Now ask yourself if this is a company that you want to hire?

I would leave a ZERO star review if possible. Here is the history: May - launch request to have solar panels installed by Vivint/Sunrun. The company came out quite promptly to review our home and property, taking measurements and reviewing the electrical breakout panel. The initial design was completed and "final" inspection was scheduled for about two months later, in July, and when that was completed, the system was denied because we had unknowingly, three layers and even four layers in one area, of roofing shingles, meaning that panels could not be installed. We as recent buyers of this house didn't know that, but having already proceeded through site surveys and the initial design inspection, neither did Vivint/Sunrun - prompting the question, what did they inspect? We were told we couldn't install until we had a replacement roof. December - launch new request for solar system using previously established account information with Vivint/Sunrun. January - contract is signed February - initial electrical inspection and site survey is completed. We were then told by our rep *** that it would be about another week and a half to set-up installation. March - no communications returned from Vivint/Sunrun - emailing and calling multiple times each week, sometimes multiple times daily. April - on April 20, I finally received communication from Vivint/Sunrun that our account was still pending. We would have to wait a little longer, likely 3-5 days, to have the final design sent to the town for review. May - no communications returned from Vivint/Sunrun - emailing and calling multiple times each week, sometimes multiple times daily. June - no communications returned from Vivint/Sunrun - emailing and calling multiple times each week, sometimes multiple times daily. July - no communications returned from Vivint/Sunrun - emailing and calling multiple times each week, sometimes multiple times daily. August - finally we get in touch and hear from a new rep named *** who ultimately tells us that in June, our account was closed due to inactivity and that there was no record of us requesting a solar system since 2018. *** very apologetic, does offer immediate responses all of a sudden, and then by the second week of August, we have new contract terms signed, and news that he has arranged a make-good check payment to cover our electrical costs that have since piled up due to lack of installation. On August 28th, the solar system is installed, but only after me confirming that the installation supervisor was truly with Vivint/Sunrun, because *** had no idea that installation was scheduled. Following installation, the crew supervisor tells us that the next step is to really make sure we constantly call National Grid to make sure they are going to install a net meter. I didn't have anything else to do other than that follow-up according to both the installation supervisor and the account *** alike. September - no communications returned from Vivint/Sunrun - emailing and calling multiple times each week, sometimes multiple times daily. October - October 29th I receive a phone call and email to confirm that we would be having our inspection done between 8am and 4pm (large window) on 11/3. November 3 - The inspection has failed to take place. I am now writing this while still on hold for the majority of what has been a phone call lasting over ONE AND A HALF HOURS. I have received no indication that there was anyone actually scheduled to come out, it took 20 minutes just to locate my account, and it then took the last hour just to determine that indeed they'd have to reschedule the inspection and that I would receive a call in 3 to 5 days. Not 3-5 minutes, Days. This is just the latest in what has been an absolutely embarrassing display of customer service, communication, and actual service provided considering how many other Sunrun/Vivint customers are even in our neighborhood. This is not a supply chain issue, nor an issue about a shortage of employees - it is a problem with their internal processes and how they follow-up with customers. I shouldn't have even continued with Sunrun/Vivint, but here we are. I have a roof full of non-functioning panels, months with no communication, months without inspection, and a strong desire to remove these from my roof and just sell them because I don't think Sunrun/Vivint would care nor follow-up whether the panels were ever even connected. I am constantly put on hold for "3-5 minutes" during any call with customer service, only to be asked to be put on-hold again for, you guessed it, 3-5 minutes. I am going to launch a full-scale complaint with Sunrun/Vivint. How anyone has rated them 4 or 5 stars is beyond me. I cannot describe how frustrated and dissatisfied I am.

What really sticks out is that my purchase agreement is very specific and doesn't allow me to purchase the solar panels outright. However, there are other Vivint solar customers that have that option on their agreement. I believe after 6 years of leasing, they can opt to purchase the solar panels.My whole thing is if you want to provide good relations with your customers that pay your wages (us the consumer) you may want to be flexible with this agreement so we can put good reviews on Yelp.But that's not what happen.I sat on the phone for almost 2 hours with no escalation to get this resolved. The two customer care employees were probably sitting at home taking my phone call and could care less on what i was asking. All they said was "I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for waiting"The 2nd *** employee said that a supervisor will call me back when they are available. Still waiting and it's been 6 hours from the phone call.So until this is resolved. I will come on Yelp, Complaintsboard.com, Sunrun, Vivint Solar website and leave bad reviews until someone wants to resolve this.Day 1 is today.yours truly Disgruntled Vivint Solar Panel

Two years ago, in 2018,, a Vivint sales rep sent out to scour our neighborhood, came to our door numerous times. We had been contacted by a dozen solar companies in the previous six years we lived in the house. One of the companies did a study of the house and came back saying, "It would not be in your financial interest to go with solar panels because of the way your house is positioned...not enough kw or whatever to justify the expense. So we repeatedly relayed that information to other companies and said "No, thank you!" Vivint was persistent. The sales rep had moved from *** and said he was making Stockton his home. That was a stretch as he was here to complete his sales mission and then vanished. I've found that with other Vivint reps who come canvassing the neighborhood (usually early 20's or so and can't reach them after a week or so. Anyhow, this rep came armed with a study that we let him generate and aided by graphs and such, we sat down with him for a marathon sales session. He told us that we could put up enough panel on the NORTH SIDE of the house to realize a good savings on our PG&E ***. Of course (as others have mentioned), the installation would be free (our roof was in good shape) and Vivint would own the panels and sell us the energy generated by the panels on our home at a much reduced rate from PG&E. I questioned hard because of what the other company had said, AND HE ASSURED ME the savings would be significant. He eventually wore me down and I did something I rarely do, i.e., make a big financial decision without sleeping on it. I go by the adage, "If something sounds too good to be true, it's probably too good to be true." The installation and activation happened quickly (installation two weeks later and activation several more weeks later). I am VERY dissatisfied with the arrangement. I've been tracking now for two years and comparing those bills with pre-Vivant PG&E bills. I can't express how disheartening and maddening the results are. Some months we are saving a little and some months we are paying more than we did pre-Vivint. The kicker is the "True-Up" which we are just paying to this year...it's $452.40. In the last month I've had two Vivint sales reps (again early 20-somethings) working our neighborhood stop to visit and, of course, sell. This time I was armed with my research and challenged them hard. They said they were disappointed with my True-Up costs and wanted to sell me more panels to "lower my costs." They took my information and actually did a credit check if you can imagine without telling me that's what they were doing. One of them, *** stopped by the next day or two and said, "They didn't think they could install more panels." Really Vivint was not looking to save me money at all. They wanted to make more profit and stick me with a second *** a long term lease where they have all the power. PROFITS OVER PEOPLE, PERIOD. I said I didn't want them anyhow...what I would really like is to buy the panels and be done with it. He said he would contact his manager and get him to help me. No contact followed. I texted *** twice and no response. Radio silence. Another 20-something Vivint rep came about 3 wks-1 month later. He wanted to help us too as he "understood" my frustration with having to pay such a high True-Up. When I explained to him that I really wanted to purchase the panels outright and that waiting 6 years was too long...that we might be moving and selling the house before then, he said he would get his manager to come the next day. We made an arrangement for after 4:00 the following day. No show. No communication. As an aside, I was having issues with our Vivint Home Security system and he was going to have someone follow-up with that. Nothing.So, I called Vivint and talked to 3 people. I refused to take "no" for a scripted answer from the first two and finally spoke to *** (a supervisor/manager). *** listened as they are trained to do..."Uh-huh...Uh-huh...I can sure understand" as I laid out for him what had happened and promising unfulfilled. He gave me the party/contract line that I could not buy the panels outright before six years and they could not even give me an estimate of the buyout total until 3 months before the six year anniversary of the contract. I told him that we might be moving well before we get to six years and we staying with the arrangement would be a big deterrent to a potential buyer. I said I wanted to eat the cost and purchase the panels just to remove barriers to selling the house. He said, "I understand but no can do until six years." After protesting again (and reminding him of the false promises), he said, "Okay, there's one thing we can do." He said they could calculate the power generated by the panels over the next 18 years and *** me for that. That way, a buyer of the house would have no bills from Vivint and could use the power from the panels for electricity. But, at the end of the 20 years, the panels would still be owned by Vivint. It was incredulous. Can you believe the gouging? I told him so but that I would expect nothing less than that based on my experience with the company. But, I said, send me that calculation. He said, "Sure, I'll have it sent to your email in *** minutes." He then double checked our email address. Here we are a day later and nothing has been sent. Again, why would I be surprised. If I have learned anything in leadership and management it is DWYSYGTD (Do what you say you are going to do!).Please, please beware of this company. Let this be a cautionary tale. I will tell all my neighbors and friends to spare them pain and aggravation. When I checked yesterday, Vivint has 10 solar companies rated ahead of it in *** by Best Companies...and that is for a reason. Do your homework. Do not take their word for it. So sad they would not work with me.

and I am a 78 year old retired high school teacher. I would like to detail to you the events of the last 7 months while attempting to have Vivint Solar add additional panels to my Sun Run solar system.My Sun Run was installed, inspected, and turned on in July and worked fine.The sales rep at Vivint told me that I didnt have enough panels to generate the electricity I was using. I agreed to have additional panels installed on my roof to increase the solar generating of electricity. I signed the contract in February and the installation was scheduled for *** On or about May second, I was told the installation date would be May 18. On May 11 several men came to my door and told me they were here to install my solar. I was told to open my garage. I questioned him as this was not the day I was told. He said something to the effect that today is they day they are here. I opened the garage, and he told me I had to move the shelves off the wall, take the tool cabinet down and remove the tool bench as they were going to run a 13 to 18 foot conduit pipe in my garage. I said I couldnt physically do that in a half and hour and no one said I was to have a pipe in my garage. He said either it gets done or they wont install. Well that was simple, I said it isnt going to happen and they left. Fine with me. I spoke to the sales *** apologized and said they were contracted workers. He would set up a new date (what happened to the original date?) and asked to do it Thursday. Thursdays are the one day in the week nothing but nothing can be done here. I had explained that several times and said lets go with the original date. Evidently that couldnt be done. We settled on Saturday. The installers came, and that is when everything went down hill. They were here all day and got everything put on the roof and all equipment installed (without an 18 foot pipe in the garage). They left saying that the hole in the box will be fixed and they will turn in the paperwork. Well, for the next week and a half my Sunrun solar panels generated no electricity. When I called for service the customer service rep said at least 7 days before a tech can be out. In the meantime my sales rep dropped by and said Opps they forgot to turn on the panels when they disconnected them. He switched them on. Okay but that was still multiple days without electric generation. When the tech came there was another issue. Two or three wires were in the wrong place so my Sunrun was at half generation (which is shown by my readings for the Month of *** is worrisome that the installers left with a hole in the box, the operating system turned off, and wires incorrectly installed. Then I waited. I was told that the City of *** takes a long time to approve. I was also told that because I was so patient I would get some compensation as well as my True Up would be taken care of and the extra electricity I generated because I used my AC would be taken care of. I waited. Finally in July I called the City of ***. Basically what they said was that they had no request for an inspection and they would send out the inspector tomorrow. Well *** came and was delightful, but since no one here was from Vivint , he couldnt do anything. We set up another time. This time the Sales rep came, and the inspector said he need a tech with tools. Then we waited. The scheduling department set up a Monday (I believe August 9) between 8 and 11 for an entirely different matter which was to change the incorrect breaker. I cleared my Monday and waited. And waited. At 10 I received a call saying the tech couldnt come and they will reschedule. Needless to say, I was less than thrilled by the customer service. Next I get a call saying they could do it the following Thursday. I have told 6 different people that Thursday is not available ever. Period. So she said the following Tuesday. Okay so Friday a tech shows up and wants to swap my breaker out. (Not Tuesday but Friday). He does, we discuss the confusion and he texts the scheduling department to say it is done. Tuesday another tech showed up to change the breaker. Evidently the scheduler failed to tell him it was done. We have a nice chat, he looks at the system, and leaves. A few days later two guys show up, to take pictures of the system. Now the two techs took pictures, the installers took pictures, the rep took pictures, but they are here to take pictures. That was a Wednesday. I was told PGE was the delay for now. I dont remember the system passing City inspection but was told it did. I called PGE and was told that there was no request for a *** or whatever it is called, so I called the *** the meantime I get a call that a tech will be there for city inspector. What? It hadnt passed. Okay. The tech shows up; we fail. Fortunately the city inspector is a good guy and he came back the next day and passed it when the tech fixed what was wrong. (By the way it is now in September.) The rep comes to my house, and I call PGE and have him listen, and once again PGE says without reservation that they had one request for this address and it was for July , and it was approved in July, that was for my original Sunrun panels. The rep said, no way, they must have lost it At that time, September there was no PGE request to complete at this house. That is according to PGE. Then I got a nice note from Vivint saying that my system passed city inspection (3 months after installation and my calling the city rather than Vivint to get it started) and corporate will review the paper work which can take up to 40 days. Still no PGE approval. Forty days beyond the three and a half months we already waited.There are other things, but the reason I have documented and told you this story, was during this time I signed a contract saying I would install solar on the roof of my rental house next door.I don't know what to do to get out of it, but I will try. This has been a nightmare.

My wife and I purchased our home 7 months ago the solar panel system was already installed on the roof. Sunrun certified that the roof was good and new. Sunrun certified the roof for 10 years.That certification gave us confidence to purchase the home. Upon our first heavy rain, we had several extremely bad leaks. Water was just pouring in 3 different locations inside our home. Shocked I called Sunrun. Sunrun said they would send a technician out. several weeks went by and more rains occurred. I removed the dry wall in the affected areas inside our home to remove the soaking wet insulation.When Mr. *** the Sunrun Field Service Technician came out,(almost a month after my request) he was shocked at the amount of water damage that had occurred. Mr *** went up on the roof to insect the affected areas. Mr *** came down from the roof then looked in the attic. Upon completion of his inspection, Mr *** explained to my wife and I that all of the flashing was missing and the roof was not properly inspected at the time of the roof certification. Mr. said that he was then new Field service representative and main superintendent and he replaced the former superintendent. Mr. stated the the former superintendent was fired for multiple bad certifications to other homes. Mr. said he would go back to his office and report his findings, and we should not be worried .Well over a month went by and more heavey rains occurred, but we had no response from Sunrun. I continued to call Sunrune and left 7 messages over the course of several more months. Now to this day we have never had our solar system turned on. Mr *** explained that it would not be safe to use. we have never had the system up, it was off upon the closing of escrow and has never been turned on to date. After many calls to Sunrun, all of which I was made to re- explain the problem to the phone representatives every time. ( very frustrating). I finally received a Call back from Mr. and was told the Sunrun wasn't going to do anything. Shocked, I then asked if they could remove the solar panels on the affected areas of our roof so I could have the roof repaired. Mr *** stated that Sunrun must charge us approx. $1,800.00 to remove and replace the solar panels. To this day 3/23, 9 months later I have not had the use of my panels and I have not been able fully repair my roof as well as have use of our living room and 2 bedrooms. We have continued to receive a monthly bill from Sunrun and we been threatened with letters by sunrun to be placed in collection. and I ( Quote) damage our credit.

Hello to whom this may concern:Sun Run called me as many other H3130***303235343532H companies have called me about adding H3130***303235343532H system to my roofing.I called H3631373238313831H to see their status. I was told that they had excellent ratings. As to Freedom Forever whom I called B B B. to get Freedom Forever ratings. I was pleased with H3631373238313831H customer services findings on Freedom Forever as well.Sun Run said they worked for Freedom Forever they were contracted with them.The young man whom came phone number *** Sun Run.Freedom Forever phone number ***.Young man name was ***, Sun Run. *** explained to me there was no out of pocket cost ever from me. My son and I was pleased to hear good new!He wanted to see my utility ***, I showed my *** to ***. He tells me I would pay a third of what I was paying and that the government would pay his company for installing H3130***303235343532H system panels for me.*** also stated that the government would pay me for selling them Power. I was a happy customer to hear that.*** set up when I was to have H3130***303235343532H system. Sun Run installed.I continue to get high bills I called TEP and was told it was setup but was turned on. To call H3130***303235343532H provider. I called Sun Run and was told Freedom Forever was to take care of the problem of not being connected. I called Freedom Forever and they apologized and said they would fix the problem. Finally I had a note on my door from Freedom Forever saying sorry for your the inconvenience. That the concern was corrected. They place there sign in my yard.I hadn&#;t heard from Freedom Forever nor Sun Run since last year. I received a *** from TEP for $192.65 I called TEP and was told to call H3130***303235343532H system provider. I called Sun Run and they called Freedom Forever called me back and told me they cut the H3130***303235343532H system off, because I owe them $700.00 dollars. I was shocked that I owe any money! I asked Sun Run, what were they talking about. I didn&#;t know I owed anything and and never was told I had a *** and why wasn&#;t I getting a ***? I called last year about not connecting with TEP. Sun Run about the same thing a ***.Please help me sir or madame. I&#;m confused about how this could&#;ve happened.Thank you for your assistance in this matter. *** Physical: *** don&#;t want Sun Run/ Freedom Forever dealings...I&#;m hurt over their actions towards me.

I had an original complaint against Vivint Solar, which was bought by Sunrun. I filed a complaint with you and several others such as the attorney general etc. We were able to work all that out. However, after that case was closed, the company installed the solar panels back on my roof on 9/13 and the company did it incorrectly, which resulted in effecting my produced solar. I didn't realize this till almost a year later. Here is the situation. After we closed out my complaint I waited months to get my solar reinstalled on 9/13. I thought all was well. My solar bill gets paid automatically and I dont normally look at my online statement often due to many reasons but mostly I am a single mother and have been busy. However, I like to keep track of my solar and electric charges in a spreadsheet so in August 2022, I started adding them all into my spreadsheet. What I found was I was not generating solar like I have in the past years, so I contacted Sunrun and told them. I made a several calls to them. The first call they gave me some strange instructions to reset the system myself but it sounded weird so I called back and they said they can see something is wrong and they eventually scheduled me for someone to look at it. *** my case worker scheduled Two technicians for 9/8/22. They came out and fixed it and the technicians told me that the original technicians installed the solar improperly. They have done this in the past as well. By 9/9 my system was up and working properly. I was told to wait a week before calling for a reimbursement. I sent *** an email regarding getting reimbursement for my lost solar production. She opened a compensation case. *** case# *** sent me an email saying they are looking into it. Then days later 9/23/22, I get a phone call from *** at 8:44pm from a person stating that he will reimburse me $75 for the inconvenience. I argued some with him but he said I would have to wait 2 more billing cycles before I can receive my reimbursement. It didnt make sense but that conversation should be recorded. I sent an email to customer service on 11/29/22. I got an email from *** saying more or less that I am not entitled to compensation because I only pay for what my solar produces. I did an 3-4 year average on what I should have produced this past year and I came up with a shortage of about *** kWh. Tell me if I am not understanding this correctly but my understanding is that I ended up paying more on my electric bill because of this shortage. (I have a spread sheet and emails if you need them). It seems unfair that I missed out on all this solar being produced because this companys technicians re-installed the solar in correctly. On top of that, they were supposed to be monitoring my system and should have seen there was a problem in the beginning, however I was told they were having issues with their monitoring system and that is why they didnt catch it. (Which should also be on a recorded call).

On 11/15 I entered into a written contract with a Sunrun representative, ***, who knew that my electricity consumption was low and yet (according to her) installing a solar system would still save me money. I never received a copy of the one I signed and was told I would receive one later. Weeks later I came across an e-mail from Sunrun with a contract that had altered figures and terms of the agreement that I had originally signed and the "new" contract contained electronic signatures which I never consented to. A limited time frame was given to contest the contract and I was beyond it when I read the e-mail. I called up Sunrun expressing that I did not agree with the contract and this started a saga that has lasted for over 4 years without resolution. My current power supplier was charging ~8+ cents per Kwh, Sunrun started at ~12, my typical power bill averaged ~$30, Sunrun started billing at $37.85 at 2.9% annual increases compared to the 1% I agreed to, and the biggest concern was the implementation of an electronic signature which I never gave consent to whether on the phone, in person, in writing or via e-mail. Over the course of 4 years I've dealt with countless Sunrun people over the phone and via e-mail that have made promises to resolve issues including problems with power production and have correspondingly been threatened by the company in numerous ways based upon a flawed contract. Additionally, I was told by an individual that if I could prove that the signature on the contract they have is not mine, they would remove the system. I never had to do that as it was confirmed in an e-mail not to be mine by the most recent person, ***, who was assigned to resolve issues. Repeated requests to produce the original contract with Sunrun have been in vain. The solar system installed by Sunrun has not produced electricity for at least several months and the power supplied by the local electric company, JCP&L, has been in the $26-28 range which is far lower that the current $41+ charge by Sunrun. I have not paid Sunrun for approximately 4 months and will not pay anything to the company. They have been told to remove the system and make repairs of my home (replacement of asphalt roofing and asbestos siding) at their expense. If they choose not to do this, the only other options will be to sell it to me at a substantially reduced price or merely have me demolish it myself which will be their loss. Sunrun acquired a federal tax credit with the solar installation which I never will have the benefit of. I have cowtowed to Sunrun for over 4 years and am currently taking a reasonable route to resolve issues. Since all matters have involved an interstate corporation and communication, and with the potential charges for fraud being overwhelming, federal involvement could subsequently ensue unless they amicably address issues. It should be noted that numerous internet sites that rate solar companies including the Complaintsboard.com have long lists of people with complaints about the company and I can certainly identify with many of them.

They reroofed my rental home approximately 5.5 years ago and guaranteed that the roof would not leak during the 20 years solar panel lease, otherwise they would make the repairs. They reroofed my other rental that was leaking, but are refusing to repair my second home that is leaking, both due to improper anchor installation. I have been fighting with them since December . This is preventing me from selling the home, is causing financial hardship and delaying my divorce. I am currently working with *** , ***@sunrun.com. She is aware that I am filing complaint with Complaintsboard.com because this is getting close to statue of limitation. Hopefully, this will give her ammunition to get my roofs repaired. The house has solar panels on all three pitches of the roofs and all three roofs are leaking. I am filing complaint because I have been patient and nothing has been resolved. Sunrun initially told me that their investigation of the garage roof found that the anchors that hold the solar panels was installed incorrectly. Before they reinstalled the anchors and patched the roof, they were on the roof a couple times to do a quick patch job and another time to put a tarp on the roof until the roof could be properly repaired. Mind you, that year we had alot of rain, and Sunrun Solar had alot of roofs that were in need of repair. The roof continued to leak so they came out two more times walking all over the terra cotta tiles and their last report claimed that the roof was old and tiles were slipping, dirt was clogging water run off, and their was a hole in the roof. They obviously did not do a good job reroofing the roof before installing their solar panels in August . Intially, they repapered, installed their no leak anchors, retiled the roof, and installed their solar panels at the start of the lease. They guaranteed that the roof would not leak. The roof is only 5.5 years old now and they did the work. Only their roofers have been on the roof. They broke tiles when they first installed the roof and solar system and did not replace them. They sealed them together with a sealant that has not stood up to the weather. So they brought replacement tiles and left them in front of my Tenants garage. The garage roof continues to leak and I have been told by a EPA expert that the structural beams are rotting and will have to be replaced before the roof can be repaired. Sunrun never investigated the main house attic for leaking when they first investigated the leaking garage roof. They only looked at the main house roof from the outside. My Tenants informed me 3/12 that the main house attic was leaking from both sides of the pitched roofs. Sunrun is still refusing to fix the garage roof and told me that none of their Roofers want to investigate the attic due to the COVID-19. I told them that the roofs are leaking and need to be repapered and retiled. They are the only ones who have been on the roofs of the home and everytime they are on the roof, they are causing more damage. They are claiming that it is not solar related, but it is definitely their responsibility.

In May my wife and I were excited to go solar. With the expense in getting a new roof our dream of becoming self reliant was becoming a reality. We decided to go with Sunrun to provide our solar needs. In may we experienced a plumbing issue that required the removal of three panels to access a vent pipe the panels covered ( we have an older home). I called them to make this request. Sunrun advised that we email them with pictures. I did so. I still have these Emails. After a couple weeks the panels were removed. We were able to unclog a bad blockage and were now ready to have our panels reinstalled. At the time we were working with Customer care Rep ***. It took a couple emails to get this going. Before long we were contacted ( by phone) from a technician to set up a time. the panels were reinstalled by a technician claiming he was from Arcadia solar ,a contracted company Sunrun was/is partners with and who our components are distributed by. It was after this things got really problematic. Shortly after our panels were reinstalled a component in the main board failed ( in July In Phoenix). we went a month with out Solar power in July. This netted a $500 power bill we were not prepared for. After the component was reinstalled ,end of July, our system is once again generating power at the specified output. as Confirmed by Arcadia. Sunrun did honor the performance guarantee by crediting us about $110; however that did not come with a fight from them. I continued to pay the monthly lease agreement despite the enormous APS bill from July, the month Sunrun Failed to provide. The APS bill took months for us to pay of with our tight budget. Now Fast forward to January , Sunrun contacted my wife regarding a work order to reinstall these panels. Of course we stated they have already been installed last year. They stated they would look into this claim. I have been in contact with an *** ( Tier 3 escalation Case Manager). 6 weeks later after making my case to Sunrun I recieved an Email with an official notice PDF attachment from Sunrun.. Email stated that they had confirmation that the work was not performed by sunrun and that because of our actions this would Void our roof penetration warranty , equipment warranty , and monitoring for our performance guarantee, But for $350.00 they would send out a technician to check out the system. This MAY reinstate the warranty and monitoring but not till Sept of this Year, After the hot months here in Phoenix. I find this a bit odd considering the failure we had last July. This move makes me think that even they do not believe the components would last the summer. This is extremely poor record keeping on Arcadia and Sunrun. It is unlikely a technician would call to set up a time to work on our panels without a work order. This person knew our contact info, solar provider, and address. If this person was not affiliated with Sunrun then we have a bigger issue here. This technician contacted us after a little while week or two after *** emailed me that she would get this request to "The Schedulers". None of this is adding up. I feel this is a attempt at extorting more money from us and making us pay on a sub-quality system. We are less than 3 years into a 20 year lease... what is in store for us with Sunrun and the problems we are already having i can only assume. APS ( Arizona Power Systems) is the main power provider in our area.

I had Sunrun Solar installed at my home in August and the first month it produced was October and at that time I was given a proposal that indicated I would be able to generate most of my needed electricity through the Sunrun Solar panels. Throughout 2020 and 2021 the solar system seemed to perform as promised but in May 2022 the system started to produce considerably less solar power than the previous year. I was not immediately aware but when I started having higher than normal electric bills I contacted Sunrun and was told right away by the person who took my call that day that my system had been underproducing since May 2022 and we needed to have Sunrun come out and look at the system. We were scheduled out two months to even get an appointment for service and when I expressed concern that I would continue to be producing less solar power within that time period I was told that they were giving me the soonest available appointment. On the evening before the appointment I was unexpectedly rescheduled out an additional two weeks. I was told on the initial call with Sunrun that after the system had been looked at and repaired I would be able to get a refund for the under production of the system. My complaint has several components. The first is that Sunrun failed to maintain the system as stated in our contract. Page 5 of my contract item 3 states "Sunrun will monitor the Solar System to proactively address any problems that *** arise". The first thing the customer service agent said to me when I called in October 2022 was "it looks like your system has been underperforming since May". Page 7 of the contract item 2v states "Sunrun uses the Production Monitor to monitor and record your electricity production, and promptly respond to any production issues" This obviously did not occur if my system had been underproducing since May 2022. I called on September 2,2022 to address my high *** bills and was given a case number #*** and a service appointment date of 10-13-2022 which was then rescheduled to [protected]. When the system was serviced I was told by the service crew that my system did in fact have a "fault to one of the strings" but they were able to fix it and the system was fully operational. My second complaint/concern is that when I inquired about reimbursement due to the underproduction since May 2022 I was offered approximately $49.43 as reimbursement for my system underperforming for 5 1/2 months this was given case number #***. I have not yet been reimbursed for the $49.43 as of today's date and have told Sunrun that this amount is unacceptable due to the length of time my system was partially down. And now as of December 12,2022 when I called in to follow up on my reimbursement I was asked again "are you aware that your system is underperforming?" I was told that it is performing at 70% Once again Sunrun is NOT monitoring the performance of my system the customer service I now have a new case number #*** for underperformance again. The guaranteed kilowatt hours is so low that it is possible for Sunrun to continually underperform and not have to payout the consumer in any legitimate way. *** is terrible. I was assigned a "case manager" for first the system issues and then the reimbursement request. These case managers have no authority and are extremely hard to get hold of. The last case manager I had *** continue to call an incorrect phone number even though I asked her over and over again to change it in my account and gave her a correct phone number to call.

I purchased a Solar system from Sun Run. We were lied to we were told we would get incentives via a battery or batteries. They never installed them. Then our system did not work for the initial four months and we were given a $204 check. About seven months later we started receiving an average of approximately $270 a month power bills and all our food went bad in our freezer about $800. We contacted sunRun and They said our system was not working properly and they sent out a technician. We had two inverters one was completely fried and the second had an antenna that did not work at all. When I showed the Technician our paperwork and all our ruined food he replied that we were not given any batteries what so ever! Then we started receiving The $270 power bills on top of the $606 payment. I called Sun Run and we were told by Rayne (RAIN) that it was obvious we had not enjoyed the benefits of solar and they in fact owed us $1586 for the system under performing. Then when I told her that *** sold us the system and she stated he had dumped a lot of people and was no longer with Sun Run and we were not the only folks this had happened to. Rayne went on to say as far as us not receiving the batteries she would have to contact her boss as that was above her pay grade. then a *** got on the phone and stated he was going to come at me as a supervisor? He began yelling at me and stated that Rayne had no authority to promise anything! As a Fire Captain for over 30 years and a Volunteer for the *** I let him know I am NOT A SUBORDINATE, but a CUSTOMER! we began going at it and when I requested his supervisor MR *** stated he was the supervisor. I gave him a chance to start over and act like one. He stated that Sun Run had been back out to our home a second time without us knowing as they do not always knock on the door. I advised *** with a "C" as he put it that no one could get in my back yards as I have a 6 foot plus locked gate and dogs. My neighbor actually brought over a door hanger for messages stating they were out today. the rest was blank and my neighbor does not have solar. I informed him that we are continuing to get $270 power bills. Mr. requested I send all of the. power bills and I not only sent six months, but a copy of our contract were they wrote next to incentives we were to receive batteries. He said he would call back in two days as he was off tomorrow and Got Crickets? I called Sun Run again and got another lovely service person and when I asked if we were going to get not just our $1586 dollar refund via *** but was I going to hear about our batteries? This women actually stated do you have a recorded copy of this conversation. I Could not believe my ears. I had sent almost 20 customers to Sun Run and just asked them to remove the money off there *** as they were probably fellow fireman or police officers. I told her that me and *** had words and I not only told him how to act like a supervisor, but Rayne (rain) should be his.He replied " I am A supervisor because I am so good that I am where I am at in only four years? I explained I had a blank card stating sorry we missed you and it was from another address. I then asked if someone was going to come out and handle our issues and this women hung up on me! I would advise anyone to stay away from Sun Run. I went through *** and plan on Filling a complaint with them as well. In closing I also contacted another person and they wanted me to pay $17,000 for one Tesla Battery and then the second would only be $6000. They also wanted to add seven panels and I was to pay for four and get three free. I was also told by Rayne that this was a common problem they were having that a third party company would try and sell you more. I have since purchased an APP called Mimic and you can record conversations. I would recommend anyone dealing with this company to record everything ! And when signing a contract I

Dear Madam, Dear *** are two emails, the first one is one that I talked with Vivint Solar Company, the second one is the one that I contacted with us, but it was still unfair agreement. Email 1 I would like to file a complaint against Vivint Solar, which has had a very dishonest commercial behavior towards me. Let me first recall all the facts. 1) Vivint Solar falsely represented the savings I would realize from solar power and lured me with low price quotes that later proved to be false. I was indeed promised that: a) I would save on my monthly NV ***, b) I would likely make money, being able to resell to NV Energy the extra electricity produced by my solar panels. 2) Because of this, I was inclined to sign confusing contracts that were purposely written in terms that the usual consumer couldn't truly understand, and which violated clearly-established legal rights of consumers, the terms of the contract contradicting the pre-sales false promises. 3) Vivint Solar eventually provided poor or inadequate service, and performed shoddy or ineffective installation of the solar panels, so that none of initial promises were realized: not only was I unable to produce energy, save on my electricity *** and credit with Vivint solar and NV Energy, but I had to pay payments to Vivint solar and NV Engerry. 4) When I finally decided 2 years ago to terminate my contract, in order to cut off all the undue expenses, they came back to me, stating that I had to pay a dissuasive penalty fee of $15,000 for earlier termination of the contract, which happened to be established for 20 years! Unfortunately, it seems that I'm not the only customer victim of *** aggressive and deceptive sales practices. See for example a quick quote of the case reported by the *** of *** Affairs of ***, and the settlement which was found between the State and the company. *** - Attorney General *** and the *** of *** Affairs today announced that Vivint Solar Developer, LLC ("Vivint") has agreed to pay nearly $122,000 and significantly change its business practices to resolve allegations that it engaged in deceptive sales practices, failed to deliver promised energy savings, and otherwise violated consumer protection laws in its sales of home solar energy panels in the state. (...) *** of *** Affairs Reaches Settlement with Vivint over Allegations the Company Deceived ***s in Door-to-Door Sales of Solar Energy Panels https://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/News/Pages/10242019.aspx Consent Order https://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/News/PressAttachments/10242019-press-attachment.pdfCould you please advise me on the actions to follow in order to 1) terminate my contract with Vivint Solar without penalty anb extra fees, 2) get refunded of all undue expenses, and 3) make sure no other consumers would get hurt by the deceptive sale practices of this company? Email 2 I would like to file a complaint and/or lawsuit against Vivint Solar company on the following grounds: - engaging the consumer in deceptive sales practices - failing to deliver promised energy savings - requiring the consumer to sign confusing contracts that violated clearly-established legal rights of consumers - not providing a disclosure document (to be included in every contract, and listing the cost of the system), in violation of the *** of Rights First of all, Vivint Solar salesmen were not clear about the fact that the solar equipment remains their sole property. What were presented as "free" solar panels were indeed installed on the basis of a leasing contract, which ensnared us into binding 20-year power-purchase agreement. Neither the length of the contract, nor any costs, nor penalty fees for early termination, were detailed by salesmen. Second, initial promises made by Vivint Solar of lowering our monthly electric bills by upto 30% or more were not delivered. Not only do we have to pay all ener

i have been with vivint solar for over 2 years sunrun had bought out Vivint solar my original contract with Vivint solar states that if my solar system is not producing any energy and they will reimburse me for the time that i did not have solar services i would think that my contract will be grandfathered in to sunrun since they still number one never came to my home and/or have me go to the home office to sign a new agreement now my issue is my system was not producing energy for almost 2 months i had to call them to get my system back up and running they made zero attempt to number one let me know that sunrun is now my solar provider and number two to let me know that my system was not running until i had say my light bill with pnm going up higher and higher so i had looked in to why my bank account had statements that said sunrun since i asked for auto payments i never had to look into where my money was going so i had to call sunrun and tell them my system was not producing energy no this is there responsibility to do because they should be monitoring my system which they where not doing so i had to spend my savings money to pay my outrages bill for my light with pnm the reason i had got solar is to help me save money they told me that the technician will not be available until next month then there associate informed me when that i had called that there would be compensation on my account for the time my system was not producing any energy during this time i had talked to another associate and they informed me that sunrun would issue out a check to me to reimburse me when my system was not producing energy and then there installer came to my home and replaced the part in my system and then came and told me that the system is back up and running and he had also informed my of the same thing that sunrun would issue me out a check for the time that my system was not running i waited a few months for this to happen and i called sunrun to see what the hang up was and i was met with a undesirable response that they would only compensate me 50 dollars i had informed them this is unacceptable i was told i was going to get more of a compensation i had spent over *** dollars from my savings and they only offer 50 dollars that was a slap in the face i had voiced my displeasure with the associate and he informed me that he would escalade my issue and get me a case worker now my time with this case worker was very displeasure able a person of the name *** had contacted me but i was unable to answer because i was at work then i had received a email from *** asking for a good time to reach me i had responded the best time was between the time of 8 and 12 then i had received another call from *** and again was not able to answer because i was at work every time *** had called me was when i was at work the she sent me a nasty email stating that they would not reimburse me not one cent of what i paid pnm and she quoted there contract now as i stated previously that my contact with Vivint solar has to be grandfathered in until they draft a new contract with me so i had emailed back sunrun/*** that i would not acknowledge there email because i would like to talk to them and i also had asked for an new case worker because *** is rude unprofessional and disrespectful why ask for my time i'm available if your going to call me during my time of work and not letting me present my case i believe this was a attempt to duck me and not let me present my case so i also stated in the new email that i'm only available during 8 am and 11 am my time and again *** reached me 5 minutes before i 11 i was already clocked in and ready to work i cant talk to an associate for hours when i have to work this is very unprofessional why ask me for a good time to reach me if your not going to reach me at a good time i can talk no attempts where takin from sunrun to solve this issue every time *** contacted me via email i asked for a new case worker and never received one i believe *** never let any one know what was going on and just kept my complaints to her self in my opinion *** was not handing off my case in attempt to sweep my issue under the rug and she only offered me 100 dollars credit to my account i have still not received any credit for 50 dollars and 100 dollars to my account this does not solve the issue that my account is still short *** dollars so thus far i'm seeking a compensation of *** dollars of which 150 would be applied to my account and the other *** to be issued back to me in a check for my savings all of this could had been resolved if they could have talked to me but *** refused to call me at a time i could talk or even hand my case off to another professional case worker i do not want this case worker to contact me again

We had an inverter out since March, that did not get fixed until October 28th. During this waiting period to be fixed we had to call numerous time without help and had Sunrun schedule and miss 2 appointments without calling or notifying us they were missing the appointment. The inverter being out lead to our *** end of the year bill being $2189. This is way over our yearly average of $200-300.I was given to an Escalations Specialist, ***, *** who is not really helping me and doesn't respond to my emails of phone calls unless I repeatedly reach out.On November 10th, I signed a contract with Sunrun, stating they would cut us a $2000 check to compensate this. It is now December 16th and there is no check and no check has been issued. I reached out to her numerous times to see what was going on as the bill was due to *** on November 16th.Her first excuse to me was that the company was not issuing checks for weeks due to the Thanksgiving holiday/. What? Why would you stop issuing checks because Thanksgiving is happening in 2 weeks? I have continued to reach out to *** since then and still cannot get a check issued. Now my bill is officially a month overdue with *** and still no check. *** has never once called me, even though I have left her numerous voicemails asking for her to do so. I do not want to feel like a bill collector calling all the time and harassing people. I just want to pay this bill and move on with my life. If you entered a contract with me to issue a check, then you need to live up to your end of the bargain.Here are the numerous emails sent.November 1st ***Hide *** Hello ***,My name is ***.

Even the guys who came out and actually fixed it Friday were surprised at this. Our inverter has been out since May so our end of the year bill that is due November 16th is $2185.49.

Sunrun has taken advantage of my elderly parents and disabled neighbors in financial hardship. In my parents case who are *** and *** at 921 e *** in ***, my father was in poor health with CHF, severe diabetes with amputations, multiple types of cancer, dementia and much more. He had given his power of attorney to my brother in ***. Mother who is also disabled with diabetes, ocular pharyngeal muscular dystrophy, severely hearing impaired difficulty speaking, swallowing and walking. They were on a fixed income and their monthly bills were less than usually $50 a month for electricity due to their multiple discounts including for low income and disabilities requiring heating, cooling and machines. Vivint solar salesman *** came to my parents house when my mother was gone and my father was in care of a VA respite provider. *** was allowed into my fathers bedroom by the caregiver where *** convinced a sick old man with barely a year left to live and he was going to save him money monthly, in fact at the end of the year he would get a rebate with the money the solar panels would make. He did not understand that this was a 20 year contract. He wasnt even going to be alive 20 years. My father who was not supposed to make any major decisions had signed the agreement contract before my mother came home. My mother said when she got home she found them in the bedroom and she told *** she was not interested and she was not going to sign because she was happy with her discounts from PG&E. She also refused to give *** an email. She never received a copy of the contract probably because it was sent to the fake email. She came home one day to find that the solar panels were almost completely installed on the house and was very shocked to find out it was done due to she had never signed anything and my father was not allowed to make big decisions like that without my brothers approval with the power of attorney. Also she does not believe the circuit breaker panel was ever checked and neighbors had told her theirs were unsafe and her house could burn down so she thought she was safe only using PG&E because she didnt know how it was all connected due to she is not an electrician and believe PE&E was a safe company and Vivint solar was unscrupulous and fraudulent. After my father died May 6th, my mother received a letter in the mail for Vivint solar stating she owed $1567.14 and the *** was in her name. She was shocked due to the fact that she thought that they were on PG&E because she was told that solar had been turned off. She did not believe it was her bill because she had not signed anything and the only person who signed was dead: She had been paying PG&E. She also went to refinance the house and was not able to register the paperwork due to there was a lien from Vivint solar. If they were trying to send her communication to the fake email she never got them due to the salesman made the email up. She never signed the contract, in fact the contract has a typed signature and it says that the email was not verified. When I looked into the information, I found Vivint disconnect of the solar panels from the grid October 20th stating assets impaired pending removal. The solar never worked to give them savings; it only gave higher bills and emotional distress. Vivint just abandoned the equipment on top of the house which made it so that she was unable to be on PG&E due to the solar panels were on the house. She also does not belong to Vivint solar Sunrun. I had a hard time trying to get them to listen to me. I sent them many letters which were never attached to the file because even though I had included the address and my parents names; I was not listed on the account so they could not keep anything is what I was told. My mother is disabled, we told them over and over again that was not her email and to communicate with me via my email and phone number due to she is legally deaf and has difficulty speaking. Finally they started to listen but they will not work with us until she pays the $1,567.14. And then they wanted to renegotiate the *** more years; This is taking away her peace of mind in her final days. My mother nor I have that kind of money due to low income and disability. I will inherit the house but I do not want Sunrun as it is ore a contract that is going to cost huge amounts of money as my neighbors. I am willing to work with them but since the caused all this harm and drama plus abandoning the equipment for over 2 years and took advantage of sick elderly people the equipment if working should be free and if not working they need to remove it and repair the roof. My mother told to them when she refused to sign the contract that they were on a fixed income and my father was ill and they could not make more bills. In fact her income was greatly reduced after my father passed away so this is now worse since she is in electricity limbo. My father was confused due to illness effecting comprehension of the contract. The believed the salesmans lies. My father was promised that they would save him money; my father never did the finances. Before he died he believed he was back on PG&E because he called and told them the Solar was not working because the bills were higher and he felt he was misled. This is Abuse of elderly sick people. My mother had no idea this was going on until I started looking into the situation to find out why she could not file the deed. She just knew that the prices of her electricity was going up to the point she needed senior assistance to get food because she could not afford the high price electricity and she needed the electricity due to her health conditions per her doctor who signed her up for discounted electricity through PG&E. The contract is fraudulent. She never signed anything; only person who signed is now passed away and he was not competent to sign. He could not even be left alone. Also my mother does not believe the electric panel was inspected by the city. All the neighbors stated they had unsafe panels and were afraid of fires due to poor installation. You will hear more of this in the next 2 complaints from our neighbors. I started going to the neighbors houses with solar panels asking who had salesman *** and Vivint Solar. My neighbors told me horror stories about how they also have been lied to and made promises and were cheated and had fraudulent contracts. They also had poor improper installation with the circuit panels.917 E ***, my next door *** and ***, their email will be forwarded to you by me. The email explains their complaints. *** also said her husband never signed the contract, only she did. They are both co-owners of the property. She was told he didnt have to sign. She said he was not in agreement with the solar panels being installed. It was an extreme hassle to make sure the panels were safe with multiple attempts to install panel failed inspection, Vivint told them it was correct. They had it inspected by PG&E and found permits were not filed and wiring was not sealed from the elements and problem with ground connection. They are getting triple their previous bills which is an extreme hardship due to they are disabled on fixed income. Plus moreJust a couple doors down at *** in ***, *** told me his story which has left him in limbo not with Sunrun or with PE&*** like my family. He said that *** came to his home telling him he already had his information from PG&*** said he was in a bad financial was and the electric bill was in his deceased mothers name and he could not change it because his deceased wife had messed up the credit before she passed. *** told him he already had his debased mothers signature from the PG&E file so he did not have to sign for anything. *** said the house was only in his name and not his mothers name so how was her signature going to get him free solar panels. *** told him not to worry about it because he had been approved. *** said he got the panels installed thinking a government program had paid for it and he did not have to sign anything. He immediately was very worried because he said the circuit panels were obviously installed poorly with open wires and no inspector would come out and take a look at it. He called but was given the runaround because he was not on the contract it was under his mothers name only. His mother has been dead for over four years so there was no way she could call In to come and get them to look at the circuit panel. He took pictures and trying to get people to come out and fix it but no one would touch it. So he had to turn it off to avoid a fire hazard due to the neighbors (*** and ***) had said PE &E had said theirs was a fire risk and it took multiple electricians to fix it and he had no money to pay for that. He thought he was just going to be going back to PG&E. And Vivint solar never came to collect the panels or fix the circuit breaker. Very high electricity bill started coming in and he could not afford the increased cost of the electricity and they came out and shut him off and put a lien on his house. So you can see the pattern here of improperly installed circuit breakers fraudulent sales person making promises that could not be kept. Taking advantage of people who are in low income categories who are disabled and sick. They preyed on the people of this block. I have not gone around two more houses because I myself am disabled and it is very difficult for me to do what I am doing. But Im sure if I knocked on more doors Id find more horror stories. These are just from the neighbors here on my street.Please help us out to straighten out the situation because I am getting nowhere with the Vivint solar Sunrun Company.

Ms. CEO H333134333038373438H *** Dear ***, I am writing to express my complete and utter disappointment regarding an issue I have been attempting to address with your company, as well as to request your assistance in resolving the issue. First, I will explain my situation and current state of disappointment. On October ***,, during heavy rain and wind, I noticed water dripping from the ceiling in my unfinished basement. Later during the samestorm, water began dripping from the ceiling of my home office along a wall that is located directly above the location that water had been dripping in my basement. Pictures and video were taken to document the extent of damage to the ceiling, wall and floor in my office. When I investigated the source of water leakage in my attic, I found the entry point of water into my home. What I found was an improperly installed H333032343338373231H system mounting bracket fastener, which was installed at such an angle that it protruded through the side of a roof rafter as opposed to being screwed straight into the rafter. I took pictures and video of this leak source using my smart phone, which I believe clearly shows that the improperly installed H333032343338373231H system fastener is the source of the leakage. I contend that, since the fastener is installed at an angle, the fastener&#;s watertight sealing capability is compromised and has resulted in a leak path that was not detectable until now. I further contend that this is a latent defect, not detectable by reasonable and customary observation or inspection, and the result of poor workmanship on the H333032343338373231H system installer&#;s part. Having identified the source of water leakage to be my H333032343338373231H system, I promptly contacted H333134333038373438H via your *** phone number at approximately 1:45 PM EST on October 27th. I explained to the representative, Rona, that I had a leak due to the improperly installed H333032343338373231H system fastener, which resulted in damage to my home, and that I wanted the leak repaired as soon as possible before additional damage was incurred. I also indicated that I wanted to be reimbursed for the cost of home repairs. The representative informed me that I needed to submit a Damage Claim Form, which H333134333038373438H would investigate and respond within 24 hours. She sent me a link to the Damage Claim Form via email while we spoke, and also noted that I could attache photos and videos. By 3:30 PM that afternoon, I had submitted the Damage Claim Form (see Attachment 1), first with photos and a video attached, then again without the video because it was not clear if the upload was successful as a result of its file size. (Incidentally, while I had *** on the phone, I asked about the status of replacement of one of my two H333032343338373231H system inverters, which a H333134333038373438H representative had determined required replacement about 5 months earlier. This led me to a discussion with another representative, Rayne, who told me that H333134333038373438H still has no inverter to install and that I would be emailed when H333134333038373438H is ready to install it. She said I would receive a rather large credit once it was fixed. To date, I have not been contacted to install the inverter.) A response to my damage claim arrived via email at 7:19 PM the next day. I received a response (see Attachment 2), which looked like a canned response, that stated "H333134333038373438H determined that your 5 year warranty expired in July. H333134333038373438H encourages you to employ a roofer/contractor to make any necessary repairs to your home. If you need assistance with the removal of panels, please contact our *** at ***." There was no contact information provided for me to speak with the person that prepared this response in order to contest the decision, and an attempt to respond to the email message via email was undeliverable. I have to believe the preparer spent no more than 10 minutes preparing this response, and did not even research the details of my account enough to determine that H333134333038373438H did not install my system (Sungevity did), and therefore the H333134333038373438H warranty terms do not apply. The next day,October 29th, I contacted H333134333038373438H *** again to find out who I could talk to regarding the rejection of my damage claim. *** connected me to the Damage Team. After the first person place me on hold for nearly an hour, I spoke with a second representative (Rose). She indicated Jantzen *** was my manager and that he would contact me. At my request, she gave me the Damage Team&#;s direct phone number and indicated that *** was the Department Supervisor if I did not receive a call from ***. Jantzen *** returned my call later that day. I explained to *** that a 5-year warranty is not want I had when my H333032343338373231H system was installed by Sungevity back in 2014. I told him that I believe my system is still under warranty and cited some verbiage from my Sungevity Performance Guarantee and Limited Warranty Agreement. I also told him that the cause of water intrusion is a latent defect resulting from poor H333032343338373231H system installer workmanship and that I would hope H333134333038373438H would repair the leak and damage to my home at no cost to me even if my system was beyond its warranty period. Jantzrn indicated that if I submitted any documentation on my Sungevity warranty terms, he would review it and see what he could do. I also noted that I have an urgent need to have the leak repaired as soon as possible to prevent further damage to my home, and asked if I could get the leak repaired at my cost and resolve reimbursement later. *** advised against this. I further asked if I could get a H333134333038373438H representative to remove one or more H333032343338373231H panels at no cost to me in the near term so that I could get the leak repaired before incurring additional damage, or if I could remove the panels myself. He indicated that if panels were removed by anyone other than H333134333038373438H, it would void the warranty. Further, he said that if I want H333134333038373438H to remove them, I would have to contact *** and they would send me an estimate for H333134333038373438H involvement. He recommended we try to resolve the warranty issue before conducting any repairs. At this point I resigned myself to submitting the requested Sungevity warranty documentation and waiting for it to be reviewed. *** followed up our phone call with an email to me so that I would have his email address to provide the documentation. Over the next day, I compiled all applicable documentation and submitted it to *** via email, as we agreed, on the evening of Saturday, October 30th. A copy of that email, which also stated my points as to why I believe the leak and damage should be repaired at no cost to me, is included as Attachment 3. To my complete dismay, I have been unable to get any further response from anyone at H333134333038373438H regarding my claim. I have made a total of eight attempts to speak with someone between then and now and have not even been able to determine if anyone has looked at the additional information that I had emailed to *** on October 30th, never mind make any progress towards having the leak source repaired. This is totally unacceptable. The following is an abbreviated list of my attempts to reach someone on the Damage Team: I left *** a voice mail message on November 3rd at the phone number he had provided in his October 29th email to me. He never responded. I sent *** an email on November 5th asking for a status. He never responded. I sent *** an email on November 11th asking for a status and indicated that I would be forced to go up his chain of command if he didn&#;t respond. He never responded. (Attachment 4 includes the email thread that captures both my November 5th and my November 11th emails). Due to a complete lack of responsiveness from ***, I shifted my focus to *** who I had previously been told was the Damage Team&#;s Supervisor. I attempted to call *** via the Damage Team&#;s main number at approximately 1:30 PM on Friday, November 19th. I was told that *** was not readily available, but that he would call me back within 24 hours; meaning later that afternoon or by 1:30 PM on the following Monday. I did not receive a call back. At 3:00 PM on Monday, November 22nd, having not received a call back from ***, I called the Damage Team&#;s main number again to speak with him. The Damage Team representative I spoke with said that *** was not available, and indicated that he would call me back before the end of the day. He did not. At 3:30 PM on Tuesday, November 23rd, I attempted to reach *** again. The representative that answered me put me on hold for a few minutes then reported to me that *** was in a meeting and would call me back after the meeting. He did not. On Monday, November 29th, around 10:00 AM, I once again attempted to reach ***. The first person I spoke with placed me on hold and left me there for about 30 minutes. I hung up and called again. The person that answered, Shaiel, was very helpful. She reportedly spoke to *** (who still did not speak to me) and said that *** indicated that I need to submit a new Damage Claim Form, and that I would also get a call from London before the end of the day. I did not receive a call from London. I was also flabbergasted that, after so may prior calls, I would now be told that I need to submit another Damage Claim Form in order for any action to be taken. I submitted a second Damage Claim Form, which essentially referenced the first one, before the end of that day (see Attachment 5). When submitting the form, the H333134333038373438H submittal system indicated every effort would be made to respond to me within 24 hours. On December 28th, having not received any response to my second Damage Claim Form, I attempted to contact *** again. Again, London was not available. The representative that answered, Meadow, looked up the information regarding my November 29th claim form and reported that *** had closed out the claim by saying the case manager (Jantzen ***) would email me. I could not believe my ears! Not only had nobody informed me of this in an way, but I had still not heard one peep from *** or ***. Meadow went on to tell me that *** was NOT Jantzen&#;s supervisor. When I asked who Jantzen&#;s supervisor was so that I could speak with that person, Meadow informed me that she is not authorized to provide me the supervisor&#;s information, but that if I ask *** (or any other representative) for their supervisor&#;s information, they are required to provide it. Well, if *** never responds to any attempts to contact him, how am I supposed to ask him for his supervisor&#;s contact information? At this point, I was livid. Meadow said the best thing she could do was to enter a task for *** to call me regarding my November 29th claim. I asked if she could enter a separate task for *** to email me his supervisor&#;s contact information. It has now been over a month since these two tasks were entered and neither has been done.
