SunPower's installation team was fantastic. However, follow-up customer service has frequently been slow and incomplete.

After I was talking to signing up I was promised the world. Absolutely nothing. No help from anybody I had to contact the Better Business Bureau just to get a response from your home office once you sign up they leave you high and dry I have been having problems since day one and nobody has addressed it at all

Had my panels installed August 2018. Worked well until we had a blizzard and now the system isn't work as it is supposed to. SunPower is warranty won't repair the system. Do not buy this product. It is incapable of handling extreme weather.

Hello Mr. Overcashier, I am very sorry to hear your expectations have not been met. We understand how frustrating it is when unforeseen events damage our property. Based on the inspection that was conducted on your system, it was determined that the damages were a result of the blizzard. Per the warranty, under Sec.4, Exclusion and Limitations, any conditions exceeding the voltage, wind, and snow load specifications would not be covered. A blizzard would be considered an "act of god" and damages resulting from the blizzard would not be covered under the warranty. Please send me a PM with any additional questions you may have. We truly appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

Very poor customer service . There Customer Service reps are located in the Phillipines. they waste time taking information. They cannot really help the customer. I've tried contacting my sales rep with no luck. They won't allow backup systems so when a grid outage occurs there is not power.

I wish I never dealt with Sunpower. Their dealer went out of business, and never filed my tax paper work. The Sunpower rep told me to seek advice from a tax preparer. So all the tax credits I was promised when signing my contract never happened.

Total rip off. Terrible service. My inverter is shot a few months after warranty is up. Do not use sunpower. We will be going with another company to replace. Update* I replied with contact info. Still have not heard anything from sunpower. Was that just an auto response to pretend like you are attempting to fixing the problem?

Do not go with this company, they have a bad support service, they give you an appointment in 2-3 weeks with a technician. You need to call several times to get to Mike. Mike is the only one scheduling and he is not in the office all the time. Please note that their schedule is 8:00 am -4:30pm which is very difficult for working families.

I had sunrun earlier and they have best customer service. Now I am with SunPower. The main inverter to the home was not working and no one knows it. I escalated to the local company and finally after 40 days we go the new one installed. The service, response , customer care are the worst with SunPower.

BUYER BEWARE !! Worst customer service ever. If you have a problem they don't care, they just want your hard earned $. They spend a lot of time and money on fancy websites making false promises. Go with a local company and do your research. Look at the BBB reviews of SUN POWER. 86% are negative.
