      Had this company install a solar system on my home. The company has had multiple issues with permits and data the county and city needed. Now my system is installed and the energy company says they install a system is too big for the information they supplied and cannot be energized. I cannot get any answer from POWUR on the if they know this issue or any resolution.

      yes they sent an email asking how to contact me, wish I immediately responded to. No contact since. No updates, no communication from my utility company that the requested info from POWUR has been submitted. Has been weeks since the utility companys request to POWUR with no response. Even my sales rep and his up line cannot get an answer on if or when it will be resolved.

      Date: 02/17/2023

      Hello ******, 

      Thank you for your continued efforts in working towards a resolution in this matter. 

      After reviewing your concern once more, we have confirmed that our Executive Escalations team contacted you via email, looping in your Project manager to account for the specific details of your project and the next steps. 

      The latest update is that Powur submitted the proper documentation for review. While the expected timeframe is at minimum ten business days, please note that sometimes an inspection of resubmitted documents can take longer. Our follow-up with the appropriate parties was on February 16th, and your project manager will follow up with additional information once it becomes available. We've asked her to respond to your last email, also. 

      Powur is diligently working on the next step, obtaining permission to operate. We appreciate your patience as we work on addressing and resolving all of your concerns.

      yes they did contact me with working on it email and looks like they submitted docs. No answer to what will happen if the docs are rejected, as requested before.  Also this project is now on month 6.  The delays have all been due to POWUR. This has caused me to pay higher electric bills. I request monetary compensation for my electric bills and all the time and anguish in trying to resolve the issues. 

      if it was not for the BBB, I suspect they would never have done anything. 

      Business Response

      Date: 02/21/2023

      Hello ******, 

      Thank you for following up. 

      Rest assured, you are not subject to any financial burden except your typical utility bill until Powur obtains permission to operate. We are committed to reimbursing your solar payments until your system runs. Our Executive Escalations member emailed you today, February 21st, to provide additional information on loan reimbursements. 

      We understand that the delays have been less than ideal, but we appreciate the patience you've shown thus far. The application, as it relates to obtaining permission to operate, has been submitted for approval, and we are pending utility approval. Your project manager will continue to keep you informed.

      we are into 7 months since this project started. If Powur would have known what they were doing, I would not have had high electricity bills over this time. 

      I expect them to reimburse me for the bills and all the time I have had to spend trying to get this resolved. I expect a $3000.00 reimbursement from them.

      My dispute is about customer satisfaction, the stress that has caused my family through the whole process. The communication and promises that were said and mislead with saying a ****** tax credit would be done on taxes to keep the same payment, was a total lie. No tax credit and payment went up over 100 dollars. Electric bill that was said to be no more than 92 dollars and over 400 on top of solar payment. It is about the time vested, missing days of work, the tax credit I was expecting to get in 2021, and the savings on my electric bill that I have yet to see. My project initiation date was on Dec 30th 2020. I was told by the representative that my installation was going to take 60 days and it took months. I am very upset with the type of services and process I got from Powur, and I would like Powur to think about the money we spend on the panels only not to work right. I am totally sickened by this company not to care about how the panels don't work and cost the customer twice as much before solar. I have called several times and sent emails, only to be told that their is nothing wrong and I have to pay for someone to come look at it. I will never recommend this company to anyone. They scam people and mislead people with promises they never kept. I am in the process of filing a lawsuit due to no one ever fixing the issues

      Thank you for your continued efforts in ensuring we resolve your various concerns. 

      Powur has conducted multiple interviews and found no seller integrity violations and that the current system, as sold and installed, is exceeding the proposed production output.

      We have confirmed that you have ongoing communication with a member of our Executive Escalations team, and your recent request for a ground mount proposal and associated costs is in progress. Please continue to reply in the existing email thread for immediate assistance. 

      We look forward to providing you with your required documentation soon.

      I was in contact with Powur only to be told there is nothing they can do. First I was told they could put more panels or add to the *******

      but then I was contacted being told there was nothing they could do also was told the tax credit was not their responsibility when the sales person told me my panels would never go up in payment, as I would get that tax credit. I'm done playing games and being mislead. I want a system that will do what was promised and the tax credit, or I will get an attorney. Thank you

      Hello ******, 

      We appreciate your ongoing efforts to remedy your concerns. 

      As mentioned, our compliance team did not identify any seller integrity violations. The system is exceeding the proposed production output. 

      Regarding the tax credit, Powur does not guarantee you will qualify for any specific credits. We advise you to consult with your tax accountant for any tax-related questions. 

      A member of our Executive Escalations team relayed the findings of both investigations to you via email. Should you have any additional concerns regarding our final determinations, don't hesitate to contact us via your email thread.

      Good Afternoon,

      The system is not working as what was promised to me. Documents clearly states the bill would not exceed more than ***** a month and I'm paying way over 400 in the summer time. My bill is over 400 plus the panels that were promised to never go up with the tax credits. 

      I was promised a tax credit to pay the panels down so the payment would stay the same. ************* came into my home making promises with the solar tax credit of over ****** plus the *** bill would never be over ***** a month 

      Now I'm being asked to buy more panels to be put in my back yard. Let me repeat myself by saying there is only 2 people in my home and my electric bill is more now than before having someone lar. Powur makes promises to people to mislead them into buying panels that don't do what is promised. 

      You say this is being taken care of but I'm being asked to pay for it out of my pocket. I will not close this complaint until it's fully taken care of. Thank you.

      After taking our $1000 deposit with a price given they stopped responding to my emails and calls for about 4 months with no indication of what was going on. 4 months later they told me I could either agree to an 8k increase in price (nearly 40% after solar rebates) or forfeit my deposit. Given they never touched my house and seemingly didnt do any actual work, and that they changed the price without changing the work I wanted done they should refund my deposit. Contract signed and deposit paid April 19 2022 Initial installation canceled on jun 22 because they missed a panel upgrade on the permit, but was guaranteed price wouldnt change as that was factored into the estimate already Sept 19 Im told there will be an extra ~8k charge for the mains panel that I was told was already included. At this time I cancelled and was told I would get my deposit refunded. I never got a refund and never heard back from the company again.

      bought Solar Panels from this company two years ago and they are not producing what they were at the beginning, and paying double for power in my home. Company does not respond to emails and struggling to get a hold of warranty department.. Their lack of response, no customer service, and the poor sales agents knowledge, makes me think that it is an unprepared company. This company does not have the resources to face customers and therefore, they cannot serve their customers properly. They face the sale but not the promise.

      My dispute is about customer satisfaction, stress that the process has caused, lack of clear communication, and misleading information. It is about the time vested, missing days of work, the tax credit I was expecting to get in 2022, and the savings on my electric bill that I have yet to see My project initiation date was on July 23, 2022. I was told by the representative that my installation was going to take from 60 to 90 days and here we are December 5th, and I am yet to get my installation scheduled. I am very upset at all this process, and I would like Powur to think of us the customers especially when we are required to be home for an installation during work days. I took two days off from work because of the installation process I was scheduled to receive. My hourly rate is about $42hr which means I lost about $668 in wages and not to mention that my daughter missed two days of school because I had to be home for the installation per their recommendations. I work and take my daughter to school 55 miles away from where I live. Also, if they knew that my house didnt have a sticker why schedule a installation day with false expectations?I have been trying to get it installed ASAP to qualify for this years tax rebates and I have been given the run around. The Installers themselves told me it would be possible if they schedule, they work Saturdays if possible. I continue to e-mail my project manager, but his answer continues to be we are working to put my project back on the calendar. So, was my project now, off the calendar? I call and wait for over ************************************************* At this point, I am just frustrated and feel that they are not taking my project seriously. I know that the interest rates are high, and it would not put me in a good position. My main concern now Is the change in the 3.0 that is around the corner. I dont want my project to be of the calendar as my representative tells me and I get hit with a bad deal.

We were expected a full week of Heavy rain coming up. I needed it fixed ASAP.10/7 Received email from ticket. Powur dispatched a ticket to the Installer, and a comment: "dispatched over to Exceptional Solar. Redirect on Monday if they don't respond". (Exceptional Solar moved to a different state and is no longer available.)10/17 called and emailed to add to my ticket: Informed Powur the ceiling damage was increasing. Exceptional Solar is not in business. I need someone ASAP. They said they would send someone else.10/26 Called and emailed to add to my ticket: "I have not heard back on getting the roof leak fixed.Exceptional Solar no longer exists.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********.  I will wait for the business to perform this action and any related follow up actions.  The roof leak did cause damage to my kitchen ceiling. Assuming that the rook leak is proven to be due to the solar installation. I would expect the Powur PBC would fix the leak and ceiling damage. If this is done, I will consider this complaint resolved.

      Regards,

      On 6/27/22, I signed a contract for the installation of solar panels on my home. On ***** August, the installation took place. On the last day of the installation, I was told that a part wasn't working and that they would order the part and be back out. On 22 September, I sent an email to my sales rep asking for an update and when the final inspection would happen. On 23 September, I sent another email stating that one of the boxes could not be opened on the system because the pipe housing the electrical was too close to the latch. My sales rep stated he reached out to the installer. On 10 Oct, I reached out via email again because I didn't hear anything back. On ***************************** an email stating he reached out to the installer. On 17 Oct, I reached out via email again because I didn't hear anything back. My sales rep asked me to call. He said he would reach out again. I expressed my concerns because the first payment on the loan for the system was due and the way it was supposed to happen is the loan payment would replace my electric bill, not that I would pay both. He said I would be reimbursed. I was told multiple times someone would come out, but no one ever did. I have called the customer service line and made complaints multiple times. The only thing that has happened was the sub-contractor has come back out to clean up the parts that were left from install, install my circuit breaker panel (because it was left barely attached), and caulk the holes they made in my siding. At this point the system is still not operational. The part has not been repair/replaced. I am the only one reaching out with information. Once I signed the finance paperwork, nothing furthered has happened.

      This is one of the worst companies I have ever done business with, During the installation process, they were on the ball, contacting me and keeping me in the loop, as soon as it was installed, crickets. The panels are supposed to eliminate my electric bill, so far, its been 4 months and I am still paying both entire bills (total electricity and panels) we had a blackout during hurricane **** and the panels never took over. At this point I just want them to come and take the **** panel off *******. No help with that either. DONT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THEM.

      Hello ******,
       
      Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We make a Powur Promise to our homeowners to communicate honestly and openly throughout the installation process; we're sorry that you haven't felt supported.
       
      We have thoroughly examined your solar system's functionality to address the existing underproduction concerns. We have conducted a shade report and production analysis, which shows that your system is currently producing 92% of what was initially presented to you on your solar proposal. We have confirmed with the manufacturer of your equipment that your system shows no alerts. You can expect a potential variance of 10% yearly from the expected annual energy production as it was originally presented to you. We can confirm that your system is healthy and producing as expected.

      Concerning your utility bill concerns, we suggest talking with your utility company to figure out other rate plan options to see the savings from your system as soon as possible. After looking through prior communication, we were able to confirm that your current rate plan is a budget buyback plan. With this rate plan your utility company looks at your past usage, typically over 12 months, and averages it to determine your new monthly charge. This means that you will not see the savings until the utility company calculates a new monthly average for energy consumption. Please do be assured, however, that your system is producing energy and generating credits for overproduction. You can work with your utility company to change your billing structure and experience immediate savings from your solar system.
       
      Last but indeed not of minor importance, all solar systems work the same and will not function during a grid outage unless you have a battery.
       
      A member of our Executive Escalations team has sent you an email to discuss these matters in detail. Please reply to that team member if you need more assistance.
       
      Respectfully,
