My experience with Sunation was awesome. The person we dealt with was Cameron and she was amazing. Very patient with us and answered all our questions. The entire process was smooth and the installation happened in a few hours. I would really recommend Sunation to home owners who want to go for solar.

Fantastic experience with SUNation Energy. Was referred by a friend and had great dialogue with our specialist Rob Moser. He walked us through the process, the benefits of solar and what set up makes most sense for us. He also was able to get us great pricing which was almost 10% lower than other estimates. Paperwork and payment was a breeze!

Once the permit was approved (took about 5 weeks after signing the agreement), they came and installed the panels in a few days which was impressive (probably lucked out with availability). The install crew (was literally an army! about 8-9 guys) came promptly at 7:45AM (15 minutes early which was great) and was finished by 1PM. The head of the crew walked me through the process and closed out great showing me the app and next steps. Clean up was also great as nothing was left behind.

Currently we are waiting for the inspection so we can start banking the unused solar for future use. But still we are generating over 45 kWh daily (on a sunny day) and our average usage is about 30 (we have 2 EV’s) so we are about 150% efficiency which is great. Though we can not bank yet, we are still utilizing solar power so our electric bill for the past week will be minimal.

All in all, SUNation Energy is extremely professional, very knowledgeable and customer service seems to be a top priority to them. My neighbor and inlaws are now interested in solar and will be referring them to SUNation and Rob Moser – they also have very nice cash incentives for referrals!!!

Very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous team. Walked me through the whole project from design to completion.

I had visited office prior to design phase and staff showed me materials to be used and installation examples. All the employees appear to love what they do.

They had my complex roof replaced in less than a day.

Solar was installed two days later. 29 panels with no visible conduit. (Looks like I have wireless panels. LOL!!) A nice and neat job. John B. and his team. WOW!!! AMAZING!!!

Very refreshing to have such a great customer service experience.

From my initial contact with Rohan to the approval process and finally to installation managed by Mike, SUNation was professional, courteous, competitive, accommodating, timely, clean, and respectful. I couldn’t be more pleased to this point and just based on a couple of days of solar activity thus far, my Kw generation is more than 2.5 times my historical daily average. So far so good!

Amazing customer service and flawless installation.

I have been in the construction business for more than 3 decades and I can attest that Sunation is a company that has it all figured out as it should be.

From the beginning of their consultation with constant support from Brian and the company they the final installation and beyond.

We researched various companies for our solar and Sunation was by far the easiest to work with.

Pricing was also more advantageous than the rest.

I would totally recommend.

I had a system that was leased by SunNation for the last 7 years and the system was down for over an entire year. They kept taking my monthly payment because it was automatic out of my account every month and I had a $300 electrical bill on average that year on top of my $250 solar lease payment that goes up every year. Sabastion who handles their service department claims he’s waiting weeks for parts they have been to my house about 15 times and nothing ever get resolved I contacted my attorney and starting the lawsuit . STAY AWAY They don’t care about there long term customers

It is easy to see why Sunation is the top solar company on Long Island. Leading up to the install day, their team kept me updated from the project design stage to permit approval. John B. and his crew did a wonderful job with the installation. All the work was done in a clean and professional manner. When they were finished, John explained everything in detail regarding the system and the crew left my home spotless. Thank you for making this such a stress free process!

We installed solar panels 4 years ago and decided on Sunation after a fairly detailed review comparing them with other companies. The experience then was very positive, so when we sold that home and moved to another home we were sure to have them be the company to install panels on our new home. We were a bit concerned with the appearance as we now live in a ranch style home and the panels needed to be installed on the front of the house. The 6 gentlemen that came to do the install were detailed, neat, professional and explained the entire process to us. John B. was the lead on this project and he was very knowledgeable and open with us. A very nice thing about this crew was that this crew was that they truly seemed to enjoy their job, joking with each other yet making a clean and neat work site and finished product. They did the 32 panel install and were finished about 3pm and went through a check list with us to ensure our satisfaction. We are very happy with Sunation and already have recommended them to our friends. We hope this to be our last home but should the need ever arise for another solar installation we are certain it will be performed by Sunation.

Reviews

Positive Reviews

  1. “Installation was prompt, fast, extremely neat and professional. We are very happy with our system so far.”
  2. “One word, responsive! Oh maybe one more,? Courteous, knowledgeable, helpful? Oh, I said one, but, after dealing with. Mr Steve Touche, I could come up with. A million more great adjective! Not enough space. Lol. Professional!!!”
  3. “I had my second install with Sunation yesterday at my new house. The team during and before the install were very helpful, professional and courteous. Gina was great! She was always there to answer my questions in detail throughout the entire process. Anytime I emailed her I always received a professional and courteous response! During the install Joe did a great job! Joe was also at my first install and I knew I was in good hands when I saw he was part of the crew! Everyone in this company from Rohan my sales representative to Gina to Joe to Tammy truly appreciates their customers!”.

Negative Reviews

  1. “We were told that we would get the system installed by 2020 and receive the 2020 credit. Fast forward to March, still waiting for installation. After we paid the deposit in September, pretty much radio silent through February. We would have gone with a different company who told us they would write off the difference if not installed in time, now we have to eat the cost. Unless you get the promised work/timeline in writing, otherwise do not make any payment.”
  2. “There have been complaints from some consumers about installation delays.”
  3. “Some consumers reported invoicing problems.”

Our Expert Recommendation

With over 20 years of experience, the company has established itself as a trusted provider of solar solutions. But what sets SUNation Energy apart from its competitors? Let’s delve into the details.

What Stands Out

SUNation Energy’s commitment to customer satisfaction is evident in their high ratings across various platforms. With an average rating of 4.82 based on 264 reviews, it’s clear that customers appreciate the company’s professionalism and quality of service.

The company’s comprehensive range of services, from residential and commercial solar installations to battery storage and EV charging, makes it a one-stop shop for all solar needs. This breadth of services, coupled with their use of high-quality brands like Tesla Powerwall and Goal Zero, further enhances their appeal.

Moreover, SUNation Energy’s various certifications and licenses, including NABCEP certification and BBB accreditation, underscore their commitment to maintaining high standards of quality and safety.

What We Liked

SUNation Energy’s extensive experience in the solar industry is a definite plus. Their 20 years of operation1 have equipped them with the knowledge and expertise to handle a wide range of solar projects.

The company’s high customer satisfaction ratings are another strong point. Customers frequently praise the company’s professionalism, responsiveness, and quality of installation2.

SUNation Energy’s comprehensive range of services is also commendable. By offering everything from solar panel installation to battery storage and EV charging3, they cater to a wide range of customer needs.

What We Didn’t Like

Despite the many positives, there are a few areas where SUNation Energy could improve. Some customers have reported communication issues and delays. While these complaints are relatively few, they do highlight areas for potential improvement.

The company’s limited geographic reach could also be a drawback for some customers. Currently, SUNation Energy primarily serves Long Island, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and the Tampa and Central Florida areas. Expanding their service area could make their services accessible to a larger customer base.

Customer Reviews and Reddit Feedback

Customer reviews on various platforms are generally positive, with many praising the company’s professionalism and quality of service. However, some customers on Reddit expressed concerns about the company’s recent acquisition by Pineapple Energy2. Despite these concerns, other Reddit users reassured that the parent company is healthy and has a solid leadership.

Our Recommendation

Based on our assessment, we would recommend SUNation Energy to those seeking a reliable and experienced solar installer. Their high customer satisfaction ratings, comprehensive range of services, and commitment to quality make them a standout choice in the solar industry. However, potential customers should be aware of the company’s limited geographic reach and ensure that their communication expectations are met.

In conclusion, SUNation Energy has proven itself to be a trusted provider of solar solutions. With their customer-centric approach and commitment to quality, they are well-positioned to continue making a positive impact in the renewable energy sector.

We rate solar installers from 1 to 5 stars to help you pick the best one. High stars mean they're really good at what they do and treat their customers right. Low stars? Not so much. We give credit to companies that have been around for a while, know what they are doing, have a high standard of workmanship and equipment, don’t hire subcontractors to keep the bar of solar installation quality high and have good local reviews from real customers (yes, we check if the reviews are actually real or fake). Companies we choose as top-rated know and can help with federal and local solar incentives to help you save, have good financing plans, and guarantee their work. We're here to point you to the solar companies that truly rock, making going solar easy and worthwhile for you.
