Overall great experience, some hiccups here and there, but they were taken care of promptly. Good communication, and so far, so good! Has almost been a year since installation, no leaks noted during the rainy days, and production is on track. Thanks to the whole team, start to finish!
CHRISTIAN ORTIZ
Sunrun Flex was the reason I made the decision.
It gave me a lot of confidence to know there was a flexible option, without rigid commitments and designed with the customer in mind. The whole process was clear from the start: they explained how Sunrun Flex works, the real benefits, and what to expect in the short and long term, without any fine print or pressure.
The team was professional, transparent, and always willing to answer questions. It's clear that Sunrun prioritizes customer peace of mind, not just the installation. Today, I have solar energy with confidence, control, and support.
If you're looking for a reputable company and a flexible program that fits your lifestyle, Sunrun Flex is an excellent choice.

My mom and dad are seniors and they got sun run my dad didn't understand what he was doing. We found out he has dementia. Sunrun lied and took advantage of my senior parents. The service was turned off . We found out that the bill wasn't paid, my dad didn't remember shutting it off he definitely couldn't cancel it. We found out that sunrun was attempting to put a lien against my parents home. They are hard to reach and their business practices are very suspect. I would not recommend doing business with this company. Do not do business with this company

Our one year old system went out in August. The soonest available appointment was October. The day of the appointment, technician arrives, inspects and finds a defective part. Says he’ll contact us within 24-48 hours. 3 days pass and we hear nothing, so we call. We are then told that we have to set another appointment, which the soonest available is 3 months out this time. That leaves us with a one year old Sunrun solar system that’s down for 6 months, possibly longer at this rate. Very disappointed and would never recommend.

The SunRun crew showed up on time and was very professional-we were vey impressed. They were friendly, courteous and informative to our neighbors. Ty Johnson, the SunRun rep, was with us every step of the way. He took time to meet with us and answered all of our questions.
