Many reviewers applaud the on-site crews for professional, on-time, careful installs. Several customers say the hardware worked well and commissioning went smoothly once the system was in. Another group describes major problems after the sale: missed interconnections, unpaid invoices with no scheduling, and maintenance coverage ending after a restructuring. The reviews show a sharp split between top-rated installs and poor long-term support or financial results.
Examples from available reviews (Aug 2025 – Mar 2026).
Installation team was professional, efficient, and accommodated aesthetic requests.
“Installation team was professional and efficient.”
Excellent service and premium commercial-grade solar panels installed seamlessly.
“Great service from the recommendations to the quick, seamless integration during installation,”
Paid invoice but work unscheduled and company failed to return calls.
“Paid an Invoice on November 20th. As of Jan 22nd still could not be told a date”
Bankruptcy voided maintenance contracts, leaving customers without support.
“Sunpower's bankruptcy left us responsible for our own maintenance.”
Crews often get praised for being professional, on time, and mindful of how the roof looks. Several reviewers mention quick replies to service requests and effective troubleshooting on site. A smaller group reports install damage or roof leaks that remained unresolved after handover.
Several reviewers point to affordable financing and noticeable bill drops as reasons it felt worth it. Others saw limited savings because of utility netting rules, new meter pricing, or output below what sales promised. Some reviews tie severe financial harm to bankruptcy and disrupted contracts.
Many users describe an easy install and systems that ran reliably for years. Others say the system was installed but never connected to the grid, or it stopped working after a short time. A separate negative cluster mentions canceled installs and lost incentives.
Some reviews compliment the premium panels and how smoothly the hardware fit together during installation. Several reviewers report generation that came in below sales projections. A minority describe total system failures that needed repair or replacement.
Positive comments cite helpful sales staff and clear communication from the crew during installation. Many complaints mention missed appointments, delayed interconnection, unpaid invoices with no schedule, and confusing rebate steps. A noticeable group links the communication breakdowns to acquisition or bankruptcy transitions.
Reviews split between high satisfaction with the install teams and strong frustration with post-sale support or financial outcomes. Positive feedback tends to focus on installation and the first stretch of operation. Negative accounts center on interconnection failures, warranty support that didn’t happen, and the fallout from restructuring.
