      We have a solar lease and our solar has been out since June 7th. I have extremely severe asthma and need medical equipment day and night as well as the a/c on constantly.I have contacted SunPower by email probably at least 20 times and have phoned probably 30 times and am left on hold an hour and a half each time. At one point, I got a hold of a person who sent me to a woman named ***** who referred me to "escalations." The person in escalations, *******************, tells me that even though they've had the part for weeks to repair my solar, I have to wait for someone to schedule to repair it. Nobody is contacting me to schedule it, nobody will give me the contact info for the person so that I can call them to schedule it, **** does not return calls or emails. I continue to try to get through to SunPower and they ignore all attempts at communication. In addition to leaving voice mails, and emails, I have left messages on their ******** page, comments on their You Tube Channel, I have used their chat on their website, etc. I have literally exhausted all avenues. Please help!

      Solar system purchased has stopped working. As per lease agreement with Sunpower, it is their responsibility to remedy any technical issues. They have continued to bill me, despite system not functioning. It's been 3 months since original Complaint was filed. **************** provides no update. I've been told the last few times I've called that I would receive a call back and never receive one. Because Sunpower is in violation of their lease agreement, I would like the system removed and be done with business with the company.

      SunPower first attempt to resolve issue was unsuccessful. We have started the process to order required parts to bring customer's system to full functionality. Customer is aware and has been updated of case status.
