Daily I have to flip breakers in the Enphase Box off and wait to flip them back on. The Enphase Box is between my **************** and the ************** ****************. This problem has been going on ever since the installation took place in 2024. Why are they allowed to sell defective products? This is not fair to the consumer/home owner! I bought this home while they were still building it, brand new, from the builder. i should be entitled to removing all solar equipment, any damages to the home repaired, a new roof when panels are ripped off, the solar panel loan paid off. if you can't do it right then don't do it at all!Business Response

1.5 years of scheduled and rescheduled attempts to fix my Solar installation problem. Sent wrong parts to me, technicians don't show up or when they do show up, they don't have necessary supplies to install or fix issues causing reschedules over more rescheduling. This is the 6th time this has happened. This last time, they show up and sit in my driveway for a hour on the phone and leave my garage doors open and proceed to leave after their conversations without notifying of any work done resulting in more rescheduling. I have to take time off of work to be home, they've sent me a ****** cash gift card due to no shows. This is poor to say the least. They schedule dates without asking when you can be home or can take off work.... just to say they scheduled. Totally unreasonable.Business Response

In July 2023, we had solar panels installed on our home by Powur, PBC. Before the installation, the company assured us that our roof was in good condition and did not require any repairs or replacement. Based on this representation, we moved forward with the panel installation.However, during the following winter, we began experiencing roof leaks. Concerned, I contacted several independent roofing professionals. Every roofer I spoke with told me the same thing: the solar company should have advised us to replace the underlayment prior to installation. They confirmed that the roof was not in adequate condition to support a solar panel system and that the company never should have installed panels without addressing this.Since then, I have repeatedly reached out to the solar company to resolve the issue. They have consistently refused to take responsibility, claiming that the leaks are unrelated to the panel installation. After months of trying to get help, their latest response was to tell me to file a claim with my insurance provider.If my roof was truly in the good condition they claimed before installation, then there would be no reason for it to begin leaking immediately afterward. In addition, the installation team broke several roof tiles during the process, which were replaced without proper care. The timing and nature of the damage strongly suggest their work directly compromised my roof.I am now in a difficult position. Roofers Ive contacted are unwilling to make any repairs unless the panels are removed, but no one is willing to touch the system the solar company installed. As a result, I am unable to repair my roof and am left with ongoing water damage and no support from the responsible party.I am filing this complaint with the BBB in the hope of resolving this matter and holding the company accountable for the damage they caused and their failure to act responsibly.Business Response

Hello ****** *****,
Thank you for informing us about the issues you've experienced. At Powur, we pride ourselves on transparency and honesty throughout the solar system installation process. Our top priority is ensuring you feel safe and satisfied with our customer service.
After a detailed site inspection, our technicians determined that the cause of your roof leak is not related to the solar installation. The following findings support our assessment:
All tiles around the solar arrays were found to be intact and properly flashed.
The leak near the front living room shows clear evidence of rodent activity.
The leak near the bedroom appears to stem from the area around the second-floor chimney, which is directly above the leak and separate from the solar installation.
The leak in the bedroom is directly along the wall and ceiling; however, the solar array is about 3 feet below this area.
In all suspected leak locations, we found no broken or displaced tiles, and the roofing paper remains in good condition, as confirmed by a scratch test performed by our technician. Based on our findings and the photo documentation collected during the visit, we are confident that the roof leaks are not a result of the solar installation. As such, Powur is not responsible for conducting roof repairs related to these issues.
If you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We can be reached by email at *************************************** or via chat at *******************************.

I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding my experience with Powur PBC and the deceptive practices I was subjected to during the solar panel sales process. I was explicitly told by Powur representatives that upon installation of the solar panels, I would no longer receive a monthly utility bill from ***** and that my only financial obligation would be the solar financing payment. This representation was a significant factor in my decision to proceed with the purchase. However, that assurance has proven to be entirely false. I am still receiving and paying monthly bills from ***** in addition to my solar finance payment.Upon discovering this discrepancy, I contacted my financing provider, ******************, to inquire about options to remove the panels due to the misrepresentation. ******** informed me that the panels can indeed be removed and that Powur would need to refund the loan proceeds they received, after which ******** would cancel the loan. I was also informed that such reversals have been successfully carried out with other solar companies.Despite this, Powur has refused to cooperate and claims that removal and refund are impossible, directly contradicting Sunlights statement. This refusal is unacceptable and places me in an unfair financial and legal position due to Powurs initial false promises.Additionally, I was told by Powur that the financing would be categorized as a simple home improvement loan. However, it is instead recorded as a second mortgage against my home, which I was never informed of and did not consent to under that classification. This is yet another instance of misleading and deceptive conduct.The entire sales process was built on misrepresentations and false assurances, and I now find myself locked into an agreement under completely false pretenses. I am demanding a resolution, which includes:Business Response

It has come to my attention that my roof was damaged during the installation of the solar panels at my house. My address is **************************************************. I have attached the estimate for the damage. I request that POWUR repay me for the damages. Also, the salesman that came to my house misled me and failed to disclose the loan requirements when I applied to ******** for the loan. I was told that the solar loan could be assumed and that there were no other conditions besides the new buyers having adequate faineances to take on the loan. ******** recently informed that the loan is required to be at the ************** prior to assumption of the loan being considered. This has created a financial burden for me and caused the buyers of my home to terminate the sale agreement. If I had known these conditions prior to signing the loan agreement, I would not have signed for the loan.Business Response

I hired Powur (through a local representative, *** ****** at *******) to install a solar system on my home. The system was installed on 14-JUN-2023. From the start, the installation was substandard, unsafe, and non-compliant with Powurs own documentation, manufacturer instructions (Enphase and Q Cells), and city-approved plans.Key issues include:An AC cable left exposed without a required Enphase sealing cap, creating a fire and shock hazard Loose cables left unsecured on a tile roof Debris including scrap metal, wire, and a WD-40 can left behind on roof Damaged roof tiles and stucco 1 out of 3 branches were offline due to exposed AC cable from substandard installation for over 8 months, resulting in $1,172+ in utility charges The contractor failed to notice or address this, and Powurs response was minimal and delayed I provided a full report documenting all findings and gave a resolution deadline of 28-MAR-2025. Powur responded by scheduling a site visit, but the corrective work was partial and substandard. As of today:The promised inspection report has not been provided A non-Enphase part was installed, in violation of the installation guide No compensation has been offered for financial losses No acknowledgment of the clear negligence in installation or follow-up Desired Resolution:Reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses and energy loss Proper replacement of the panel and microinverter Full removal of debris and final cleanup Written confirmation that the system now complies with all manufacturer and safety requirements I expect Powur to stand behind the safety and integrity of their installations and the vendors they use.Business Response

Since December of 2024, we have had nothing but trouble with getting our solar panels fixed. The critter guard has finally been fixed, but now they are refusing to contact us about getting the meter to our solar panels fixed. We have been trying to get them to answer us/have someone come out to fix it for over two months. There has been 0 attempts on their part to fix the issue at hand. This is a breach of contract on their part. They need to either fix it, or we will have no choice but to start a lawsuit against them.Business Response

The Power to the system keeps shutting off or tripping off. Riverside Public Utility has been out here three times to correct the problem. They said that they will no longer come out and reset the system. I have been trying for the last three (3) months to contact someone at POWUR to rectify this problem to no avail.I have called ************** and after the recording the line disconnects. I have tried other numbers and have left a voicemail. The gentleman who wrote the policy has tried to get ahold of someone and he has met with negative results. I have finally reached out to MOSAIC Client **************** Hopefully I will get some help from them but they will not gaurentee any results. I've gotten to the point where I have stopped paying my bill because i cannot afford to pay $615.00 a mth for solar and $2200.00 a month for Electricity. Please Help.Business Response
