This company has been misleading from day one. I was offered a $3,000 sign-on bonus as a last-minute incentive to keep me from backing out. That bonus never showed up, and Ive yet to receive a straight answer about itsix months *********, the $80,000 system they installed has failed. The inverter literally let out smoke and the system has been running at 1/3 capacity since. A technician came out Tuesday and said they had spare inverters in the warehouse, and that the *** was already approved. It's now Thursday, and the system is still down. Nobody will answer a phone callperiod.Their main office numbers listed on ****** go nowhere. No return calls, no follow-ups, no accountability. Meanwhile, the system downtime is costing me money daily, and I can't even get confirmation if their promised reimbursement for downtime is real.Whos paying for the lost productivity? Certainly not them. At this point, your guess is as good as mine on whenor ifthis will be resolved. Completely unacceptable.Business Response

We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience youve experienced. Regarding the $3,000 rebate, our sales department has been made aware of the situation and is currently contacting the original sales representative involved to get this matter clarified and resolved as soon as possible. As for the inverter issue, we truly regret that your system has not been performing as expected. We understand how concerning it must have been to see smoke coming from the inverter, and we apologize for the delay in getting the replacement installed. At this time, we are waiting for the new inverter to arrive at our warehouse so we can schedule a technician to complete the replacement promptly. Our customer service management team has been in contact with your wife, *********, to relay this update and will continue to keep her informed as soon as we have an arrival date and confirmed schedule. We appreciate your patience during this time and are committed to seeing this issue through to full resolution.Customer Answer

Company has door to door solicitors claiming to work for for take a load off ***** and were sent by (the local electric delivery co-op) to talk about meter issues and electric bill. They do not have a solicitor permit and are conducting business outside of the 9a-5p solicitor hours the city code sets, while lying about who they work for. After the salesman left my porch and I contacted the electric delivery company and they stated they dont have anyone out to talk about meters, I found another salesman walking the neighborhood and they said they work for our world energy. Shady business practices to try to skirt solicitation laws.Business Response

We had solar installed in December of 2024. In the original estimate we were billed for an electrical panel relocation. We were assured that if that relocation was not necessary by our sales rep ***** ********* that we would receive a refund. The electrical installation passed all inspections by ***************** of the panel was not needed. We have contacted the company on multiple occasions to inquire about the refund & have been told that is not a company policy to refund for work not done. They have failed to restore our back yard to pre installation ************* suspect this is due to this billing dispute.Business Response

Since the start of this solar project, nothing has gone right. There is no communication between technicians and agents setting up service calls. Ive have been very patient with all the missed appointments, lack of communication and slow customer service responses.I dont normally complain but this has gotten ridiculous after 5 or more missed appointments. The time wasted waiting at home with no one showing up and no calls or text to let me know if its been cancelled. Ive waited all day on each occasion, wasting away a vacation day from work each time. Now, *** lost 5 or more days of work, waiting for a no-show technician from this company. Every time I reach out, I get no response until a few days later about a missed appointment. I was advised the company would send out compensation for the missed appointments. I received a check for $65!!! Really??? 5+ days of missed appointments, sitting all day at home waiting for technicians and the stress from trying to reach anyone at this company is worth more than $65!! What a joke! My gutters were ruin in the process of installation and was finally repaired after many days of calling the company, however my gutters are orange and they decided to put a maroon gutter replacement!My Garage wall was ruined with the Electrical panel being installed. The company sent a technician to place **** on the wall and never came back to finish the job! Im requesting compensation for the stress and the days that I had to sit at home and wasted a whole entire day waiting without and communication from this company. *** never dealt with a company this messy for such a large and expensive product!! The missed Jun 19 appointment, I have yet to hear from anyone from this company as to why if was missed!! No one seems to care! These are some of the missed days that I can account for!April 18, *********** 5, 19Business Response

AGAIN...JUNE 27 no one showed up as promised to fix the dry wall per the company's response on this complaint. I stayed home all day again! NO communication to the customer to advise of a no-show technician. Thousands of dollars are spent on these solar systems, just to find out you will be stressed for months to come.Business Response
Date: 07/02/2025
Our records indicate that we attempted to reach out to confirm the technicians arrival for June 27th. During that communication, you advised us not to send anyone out at that time.
At this point, we are waiting to hear back from you with a date and time that works best for you so we can coordinate the technicians visit with your approval. Please feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience so we can get this resolved as soon as possible.Customer Answer

We leased a solar plan, and it took a long time to get everything installed. After install we questioned the way it looked out front of our house ( because it looked hideous). We told them we were going to get harassed by the **** and sure enough we did.long story short we have been. *** telling us to cover it up. We've tried and to no avail HOA has denied all our mods. I've asked solar company to relocate electrical panels and all they have to say is they were with in specs. Process has taken about about 4 months and nothing has been accomplished. All along I've been getting fined for the eyesore they installed in the front of my house. They've made no effort in either relocating or covering the problem. What can do to keep this problem from costing me more money.Business Response

I was sold a solar system through ********** Connection who represented Sunnova and Our World Energy. I signed a contract, at a set price for 25 years with *******. The project was a disaster from Day 1 - the plans were wrong, the layout was wrong, the equipment was missing, I was promised that the installation would cover 60% of our electric usage and they missed several hookups so it ended up not being able to supply what they originally promised, the placement of the equipment changed without notice and they ruined the aesthetics of one of our buildings - that's for starters. Six months later the salesman from ********** Connection comes out with a new contract saying that the original provider (*******) is no longer supplying the system and gives me a new contract to sign which is $25K over the cost of the original contract. So now, 9 months later I have all this ugly equipment on my roof (which now leaks) and on the sides of my buildings and ********** Connection is nowhere to be found as my sales representative says he's not responsible. We've been passed off to Our World Energy and for months I've been trying to either get a new contract at the same price or have them come and remove their equipment. Our World Energy has sent me several emails saying they're working on resolving the issue but it's been 2 months and I have no answer, just an unfinished solar system and no contract outlining the amount, warranties or guarantees. We have wanted solar for 25 years and thought this was the perfect solution but the salesman sold us a bill of goods that he never delivered and then left us high and dry. Absolutely would not recommend, terrible experience and service.Business Response
