Had them for over five years but nobody checks up and make sure it gets maintained. Not even a reminder for maintenance.

Reply from SunPower

Thank you for your feedback! If you have any specific maintenance questions, please give us or your installer a call, but in general your system should be very low-maintenance. The main action you'd need to take would be to make sure the panels are kept clean. There are many great local panel cleaning services that should be able to take care of this for you at minimal cost.

I had 35 panels installed to cover 100 of Kwh per their design. The panels face south and 12 face south east. Research shows that each panal should produce 2 Khw per sunny day . It's actually less than one. I've been talking to Sun power but they claim they all work fine there for will not send out a tech to verify this on site. There is no shade on the roof from trees. Not to get too verbal VERY DISATISFIED WITH SUN POWER AND *** ENERGY PAL.

no sugarcoating

I was quoted 3 different prices for the same system with a price difference of over $15,000. When I asked how come the same system had a different cost, I was told that it varies depending on term of loan. The bigger joke is that they advertise their loans at 0% when they are baking in their fees and interest in the principal! When I cornered the salesperson about it, his justification was, all solar companies do that... Beware of this company practices and if you don't understand how a loan should work, consult someone who does before accepting any contracts from this company.

6 of the solar panels failed completely within the first few years. Everybody thinks they are great at first, because at first the panels are probably working. Do you see reviews on here ravinbg about this company after 5 years? Uh..no? Probably not, due to their lousy products for solar energy production failing after a few years and after they have all of your money. Avoid SunPower and find a company with reviews from customers who still have working panels after 5 years..

We bought Sunpower through Baker Solar Electeic. Besides the fact that it took Sunpower 8 months to fully repair our system when a defective panel broke, we discovered the upper row of panels shades the lower row of panels. Neither Baker nor Sunpower stands by the warranty to correct the ridiculously poor workmanship.

I entered into a contract with SunPower through Better Solar Solutions in early July. I was told it would take 4 to 6 weeks to complete the project. The salesman convinced me that I should do the project in 2020 so that I could get the current tax credit. It is now the end of 2020 and the project is still not complete. I would not recommend using the company without a guarantee on timing. I am beyond disappointed with the execution of my project!

Have heard of sunpower faulty microinverters? Sunpower installed me faulty microinverters back in 2016 and did not inform me about the issue until several years passed by. Yes, they replaced the faulty inverters after i complained for paying high trueups several years. They offered me some $198 compensation for the days of loosing the production. That is rather an insult for me knowing they sold me faulty product. So watchout for sunpower.

This is my second house with Sunpower. They used to be great. Now calls go through a foreign call center and repair work is subcontracted. But their original installer can't get their attention either. The microinverters in my 4 year old panels failed in early April. They sent a crew in late May but that crew said they's have to send a different crew with different tools. Now I leave voicemail messages and get the same response: they will contact me when they are ready. Something terrible happened to a formerly good company and I'm ready to go to court.

Doug Haines Beavercreek, OR

My solar system has been installed for 9 years; it included SunPower Panels organized into two sections, each of which is connected to a SunPower Labeled Inverter. The panels have worked well so far, but both Inverters have died. SunPower has declined to honor their warranty. A review of the Better Business Site indicates the SunPower Warranty is not worth much because they have a variety of ways to avoid honoring it. Delaying their response is a common one. Their panels are good. Their business ethics leave a lot to be desired.

Piece of crap company. Once getting my load controller installed I had to turn it on and off to be able to have my dryer work. This was before the system was activated. Then I had to turn the controller off to have heat, hot water, dryer, stove working in my house. I had to pay for an internet upgrade and now having to look into pest control issues with pigeons and mites because the company wants me to now pay for bird netting through them or I void my warranty.

Horrible commitment to customers. Purchased my system as a part of my new home in 2008. 25 year warranty! EXCEPT that the inverter (which I now find out has a 10 year warranty) failed this year and the entire system is now useless. There is no replacement for the inverter and I can not get SunPower to give me any help at all in finding a solution. In fact, I find that SunPower has closed my case filed with them both without advising me and giving me an alternative solution. Customer service is non existent on an over $20K investment which is now totally worthless.

The panels are great, as was the installer, Blue Selenium on Cape Cod. The customer service from Sunpower, however, stinks. Two microinverters went down in August.

Our solar has been down going on two months. we've been told by the contractor that Sunpower would be contacting us directly to send a person out figure out why the system is not producing. That was two weeks ago. After one week of not hearing from them, I called them. I was told I would be receiving a call and now its been two weeks and still nothing. I am now paying for a system that doesn't work and also a PG&E bill.
