      My system has been running for months and in addition to trying to get questions answered, failure to complete the contract, failure to communicate, and the solution working below ratings, I get treated like I don't understand solar when I do get someone on the phone.1) My solar package is only producing around 55-60% of its rating. I have been told it's because trees are shading some of the panels by ********************, however we were told during our consultation that at least one tree would be taken out which was never done.2) My electric company is not reporting the same power generation as the solar reporting. I would like to understand why, even though the electric company seems to have the favorable numbers.3) I was required to remove wooden cabinetry from the outside of my house where the electric comes in to make room for the new equipment and pass inspection. I have in writing that they would replace the housing if I source the work as a reimbursement. This has never happened.4) The team that did the installation damaged the area around two of my fuse panels. They only sent a crew to fix one and I can't get anyone to talk to me about the other repair.5) I just had power outage due to nearby utilities work, and the house lost power even though it's rated to produce for the entire house. I called during the outage and was told that it's impossible, as that requires batteries. I reviewed Enphase consume page and see they clearly work as a daylight source. Called Enphase and they explained that my setup is missing the required transfer switch that they sell, which is one of the main things we stressed was important to us when designing the system.

      In June 2023 a rep from Suntria came to my door selling solar panels. He said if he could review my current electric bill, he could tell if we could get a savings from buying and installing solar panels. After that, an “engineer” was sent to my house to review the sun exposure and my home roof to see if I could benefit. I was told my home could benefit from solar panels and was assured that the panels sold would provide 95-96% of my home’s electrical needs. So I agreed to the purchase and installation.
      Installation was completed and the panels were on by October 2023. However, right away I noticed that the panels only provided 30% of my electrical needs, which I thought was based on the season. However, there was no change after 6 months.
      On June 10, 2024 I reached out to Suntria via email to discuss the issue. I was told that the matter would need to be reviewed by the engineers. One month, and several emails later, no resolution had been offered. Then I was told that my consumption in the evening was too high and would need to be reduced. I was also told to contact Enphase, a web based monitoring company, that monitors my solar panels and their energy production, to determine if there were any technical issues with the panels. Suntria said if there were issues, they would send a technician. Enphase said the panels were functioning normally with no issues. They also explained that at maximum the panels I have on my home will produce 60 kWh a day. The problem I have is that I use on average 117kWh a day, and have for the years I have lived in my home.
      I shared this information with Suntria and even provided documents showing the kWh consumed from 6/2022 through present averages 117 kWh per day. In addition I showed the kWh produced by the panels compared to consumption or usage. On average the panels produce 30-35 kWh per day, no where near my needs. Unfortunately, after providing that information I have received no more communication from Suntria. I need help!

      Good morning! It looks like you were able to get in contact with Francineabout this, she will be reaching out again to get this resolved. If you have any questions please make sure to reach out to her she is the best point of contact, if you do not hear from her by EOD TUE please let us know 

      Customer Answer

      Francine responded with the same information that she has repeatedly supplied, that does not offer a resolution. She has said multiple times that she is going to send the information to the engineers for their review and resolution, then I do not hear from the engineers or from Francine regarding her discussion with them. I did get a phone call at 10:44am cst on Friday, 8/9/24, when she stated she was going to discuss the issue with engineers (again) and she said she would get back to me by Monday, 8/12/24. I have not heard back from anyone. This has been going on for two months now with no resolution. You can see the repeated emails attached that same the same thing.

      Customer Answer

      A technician or electrician did come to my property and speak with me. But he did nothing to the panels or the electrical box. I provided him with a copy of a report I created showing my consumption history from 6/2022 through 12/2023. He stated he needed to call the engineer desk. After making the phone call, it was determined that my panels are functioning normally. (But they are not producing what I need and what I was promised; Which is 90% of my consumption needs.) He stated that the Suntria team will need to meet to determine how to resolve the issue. 
      The issue I have had from the initial complaint is that the panels installed are not producing the 90% promised, or anywhere near the amount of electricity consumed at my home. No one has offered a resolution to meet that 90% production of my home’s electrical needs.

      We had been approached by a salesman for suntria and he had explained all the benefits of solar panels and about the government tax program that goes towards the panels. We had been talkin about getting panels for the house for a while anyways. **** had explained that he was giving us the price that would beat our electric bill and replace it all together. After we had gotten the panels we stopped hearing from the company. We could not get ahold of **** to help at all. We were given a the fee of transferring everything, which they hadnt disclosed we would pay. **** had told us when going over the contract that we would get 100% coverage with the solar panels and that we would actually have more and benefit from the solar buy back program. We had called multiple times to see when our panels would be up and running so we could cancel our light bill (**** said we would get 3 months free of light bill charges) and no one would get back in contact with us and again **** wouldnt answer our messages. After calling the main office I was informed that we would signed up for 62% coverage which was not correct. What was the point of adding another bill when we were trying to save money. We now pay $120 more a month in energy costs. We were told to wait and see for our panels to heat up and get going and we would get a call back and we never heard anything. We got scammed out of what was supposed to be a fun and enjoyable home purchase. Instead **** collected his commission and we got screwed over on our bills.

      Its been five months of pure nightmare with this company. We were told that once these were installed we would see our electric bill keep going down for three months until there was no bill and then it would switch to the solar bill that was incorrect we are going on two months of paying electric and solar bills. We tried getting ahold of the company for two months and silent no one would answer. When we finally got someone to answer us we were told the panels were never supposed to cover all of our electric bill we were straight up lied to by this company its a huge SCAM and now we are about to lose our house because of it they also promised us gift cards that weve never received. The sales man told us he was the owner of the company just to get our trust. Because that was not true All they do is lie through there teeth stay far far far away from this company if you want solar find a reliable company

      I have one solar panel not functioning. I contacted ******* (who does the product) on June 8th, 2024. They sent a microinverter within 7 days, and I was instructed to contact my installer (Suntria) to do the repair. I first contacted Suntria on June 14th, 2024, using the customer service #: spoke with a woman named ********. She took my information and would call back Mon-Tues next week. No call.. Recontacted same person on Wed 19th @ 11:30. She said she needed to eat her lunch. She called me at 2:23pm, saying the coordinator was not responding.She would try 1st thing next day. Recontacted her Thurs @ 12:28pm. She transferred me to ********* but there was no identification on the message machine. I did leave all my information. No response. June 27th. I found a Service Request form online from their website, so I submitted it. No response July 10th, 2024, I called a different phone number posted for the ********************, Euless Tx. Again, ******** answered. Again, stating I have not been able to set an appointment to get my microinverter replaced for the one panel. She said she would talk to her Branch Manager, and would call back. As yet, there again, has been no response. I don't know how they can advertise that they take care of their customers. This has been past frustrating. AND - do I have to go through this if something else goes wrong. This woman ******** seems to be the ONLY person answering the phone. How can that be? And all she is good at is stalling. I have never missed a payment with this contract. So far, Can you help me?

      We meet with Suntria in May 2023 after a door-to-door sales approach. We signed the contract around June 2023 and there was no activity for many months after contract signing. We didn’t get the solar panels installed until October 2023 and they weren’t operational until November 2023 At the time of contract signature I was promised the installation of a generator. While the solar panels were installed, I never received the generator. Suntria did have someone from a generator company come out to talk to us about where it would be placed, but then they never came back. In attempts to follow up with our Salesperson (Jordan) who scheduled the person to come out, he just stopped responding to any texts or phone calls.

      Since then we have been trying to get in contact with Suntria to resolve this generator issue and they haven’t returned any of our numerous calls, texts, or emails. I even had a generator company come out to give me a separate quote for a generator for our home, which would be about $15K and let them know that I wanted that generator installed or wanted that amount deducted from my loan, to which of course they never responded.

      I have been scammed out of $15k because this company promised something that I think they quickly realized they couldn’t provide.

      I am in the Oklahoma market, which I think they flooded when we got some solar breaks, so I know I’m not the only person this happened too. Also, they are not the actual Solar install company but a third party provider of Custom Pro Roofing and Solar. Custom Pro actually reached out to me in Nov 2023 when they heard complaints of people being promised generators that never got them and said they were looking into it. Then they stopped returning my emails and phone calls. I eventually got a response when I threatened legal action and they told me they aren’t going to do anything and I have to resolve this issue with Suntria.

      This company shows a pattern of neglect & inability to deliver.

      Horrible communication. We initially were very happy with the sales and installation process. Communication was great, until we needed help. I had reached out to ***** (act rep) and **** (sales rep) with questions about our tax credit, ****** reply was always to call ****. **** never responds. We now have questions regarding the performance of our panels, as we have not gone over 45% and our system should be 80/20. We were told multiple times after reaching out that ***** supervisor would call- still nothing. My electric bill has gone down some, but now Im paying way more with both solar and my electric bill combined. I just want someone to call and check our system.

      Ive had their solar system installed for about a year. A couple of weeks ago, after a power outage, the envoy stopped working. So now, without monitoring the solar, I cant tell whether its working or not. Ive called them numerous times and they never pick up the phone. After weeks of trying, somebody finally picked up and told me to reset the system and call them back after. After resetting, it still didnt work and when I called them back all day long, they never picked up. *** left countless voicemails and the system is still down. So now Im paying for something that I dont even know is working.

      Solar panels installed and now my roof leaks. I had other property damaged from the leak. Have pictures for proof. They sent out someone to check the leak. Technician checked for leak using bottled water.. Not sufficient to check for water leak on roof. They determined themselves that the leak wasnt caused from solar panel install. Well I didnt have anything on my roof before install and it did not leak prior to install of solar panels. All I asked them was to replace the damaged lights from water leak and they refused. The cost to replace lights would be approximately $1295

The **mpany is Near in Grass Valley north of ********************* (over 326 miles away from my house and they do not know who Suntria is. Further more they say the no longer have a license to install ********************** panels. I let ******** know she declined she directed me to someone that far.

They already started a process and got the system going today. They will are working with one of the distributors to provide  the replacement part and they will install it once it arrived. I expect you to pay for the **st of labor since you totally declined to take care of my request when I first reached out to your **mpany.

      All I need form the company is to pay for the repairs of the Solar system. Suntria said I would need to pay for the repairs. I am no satisfied because the company working on the repair told me there is a cost and is the result of poor labor conducted by Suntria during the instalation. I reached out to the BBB becuase i need help in getting Suntria to pay for the repair, I am not taking the court I just want ot be fair for now. I am not even going to ask them yet for compensation from prior months. I do not think this is too much to ask but to be fair. I am asking that you reach out to Suntria and advise them of this please. Thank you. *********************** compliant id ********
