Sunrun

Sun Run and its affiliate Verengo screwed us over with their leasing program. Once installed, the company never inspected or cleaned as promised before we signed the contract. When we called to inquire when they would clean after 2 years, we were told that they did an analysis that cleaning did not effect the energy generation.
With the leasing program, a lien is put on your property. Our home took over a year to sell, as no one wants to assume your lease and the sale price was easily 5 or 8 percent devalued.
I’m a CPA so I am embarrassed that I didn’t understand the impact. Do not LEASE SOLAR from this company or any other.

I wrote this to REC solar citing why I had chosen them and also evaluating the experience.
Christy,
From the first presentation last June at the Carpinteria Women’s Club to signing off with the inspectors and the fire chief yesterday, everything was smooth, easy to understand, efficient, and professional. While deciding how much and if it was possible, my questions where always answered. Getting materials BEFORE meetings made discussion considerably more meaningful and did a lot to ease any doubts about the sizable investment. And all of the installers were knowledgeable and seemed to take great pride in their work. The coordination between Shelter Roofing (thank you again for that referral), MACSOLAR, and yourselves was spot on. I have no real idea just how many forms and deadlines will be required to obtain the rebates and reduced fees, but knowing that you (REC Solar) would handle those matters and that you understood and further knew what the outcomes would be was also a wonderful service and made the transaction much less formidable and more comfortable. So far all is very good with us and we will sing your praises to anyone who wants to listen.
