Sunbum Solar

Putting my review at a 2 star because this is definitely a case of caveat emptor aka "buyer beware." The installation was executed well but I would recommend anyone proceed with caution as I definitely feel as they though walked the line of capitalizing on a scam and honestly pushing you towards tax fraud. They will tout high end tax return savings that would only be produced by claiming the roof work as part of the solar install which is 100% tax fraud. When they are called out on it, they play stupid and suggest you consult with a tax professional. Ultimately they will break it down like this: * Expect $50 a month in SRECs. - I've had one issued in 4 months for $40. * Expect $xxxxx.xx from tax credits - Expectations are not reality. I had to have them separate the roof costs from the solar so that I would not be committing fraud. This is a horrible and dishonest sales tactic. * Expect to save $xxx.xx on your power bill based off this chart - I question how these charts are even produced. If you examine the energy production ceiling for each panel, the math does not add up. Ultimately, I would say steer clear if you can. My goal was to just break even on the monthly payments on the solar loan by reducing my energy bill enough so that I would have a net zero payment. Instead I'm stuck with a monthly payment to them and maybe a 10-20% reduction in my energy bill. I would reduce them to 1-star if I weren't being objective, but they did do a good job with the roof install but this is ultimately a misleading product. My suggestion: STEER CLEAR
