GBRUN..... RUN... customer service will never allow you to speak with a manager or a supervisor. Have been having issues with our solar panels generating power since 2/24/23. Finally fixed 1/2024 but not before having to pay Edison $2,537 right before Christmas 2023. Once it was fixed, they ran a performance guarantee test and they only refunded us $432, really! Now 3/21/2024 as of 2/3/2024 again we are not generating power... really again! Currently fighting the refund and now have a new open case for not generating since last month. In contact with Nilasco Caguimbal | Escalation Specialist but he usually only response once a month if I'm lucky. DON'T RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY AT ALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

GBDeposit not returned Around six months ago, my system was installed and I made a full cash payment to settle my account. However they are refusing to pay me back the $1000 refundable deposit, and they have no reason not to do so.

GBSunPower will not support you We have a system we leased from SunPower in 2012. We've never missed a payment and it has worked well. In Jan. 2024, our roof was damaged by a severe windstorm. SunPower is responsible for temporarily removing the system (at our cost) so that the roof can be replaced. I contacted them 7 weeks ago and they have not made any progress in locating an authorized dealer to do the work. I located a local solar company who would do it with permission from SunPower but they weren't interested. I offered to buy out the lease and they haven't responded. I am at risk of water damage to my house because SunPower support is non-existent. They'll respond promptly to emails but make no progress in resolving issues. In addition, they defaulted on a $300M loan last year and may have to declare bankruptcy or reorganize. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH SUNPOWER, YOU WILL REGRET IT!!

GBUnacceptable! 5 months with no battery backup! I purchased a SunPower system (panels & 2 SunVault batteries) in late September 2023. Since Nov. 6, 2023, the two batteries we purchased are basically doorstops due to (apparently) several malfunctioning parts (microinverter(s) and a relay). I have called the 1-800-SunPower number numerous times over the past several months and have gotten no useful information from them except for a case number, #03621287. The consistant answer is that the parts are "on order." The SunVault (battery) line is worse than useless as no one ever answers it. Have contacted my "project manager" several times (email only - never answers his phone). He has only told me to call the 1-800-number. I am very discouraged, especially when I read that Sunpower is currently being sued by shareholders for not properly disclosing inventory levels. A previous lawsuit for selling systems with defective inverters (settled 2022) has caused me great alarm due to the similarity of the case to my situation. SunPower, please help me!!!!

GBLow Energy Production I am glad I came to this site because at first I thought I was the only one experiencing issues with this company. I had my solar system installed over a year ago and instead of saving money I have ended paying more to my electric company than I did before the installation. The panels have been producing little energy even on very sunny days and I can’t seem to get a technician out here to look at the problem. When I call Sunpower I am told it’s a problem else where and that I should contact my electric company. During the winter months my electric bill is almost $500 per month keeping in mind that my heating system is gas. The summer months are almost equal in comparison. Today for instance it a bright and sunny day and the panels are only producing .1 percent of my energy when I first checked and five minutes later it’s producing 3.8 percent. This system seems to be flawed and my attempt to get a tech to look at the panels have been futile because all I keep hearing from their end is that the panels are working.
