The Verdict

SUNation delivers exceptionally clean work and sticks around after the sale. We analyzed thousands of reviews and found 697 mentions of workmanship quality with almost no negative comments. One customer had their roof leak eight years after installation, well past warranty, and SUNation still coordinated free panel removal and reinstallation with the homeowner's roofer. Another reviewer used SUNation twice, moving their business to a second home solely because the first experience was that reliable. The standout pattern is follow-up: sales reps check in a year later to verify system performance, and service calls for loose critter guards or failed Wi-Fi controllers get resolved fast. Installation crews led by foremen like John B. finish 32-panel jobs by mid-afternoon, walk through checklists with homeowners, and leave jobsites clean enough that one reviewer joked the crew seemed to actually enjoy their work. (Rare for a roofing project.) The one weakness worth knowing: if SUNation coordinates a third-party roofer for you, that roofer may downplay roof issues to avoid implicating the solar installer. Use your own roofer if structural work is needed.

If you want an installer who'll remove and reinstall your panels for free eight years later when your roof leaks, even after the warranty expires, SUNation is worth the premium over cheaper quotes.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Elliot Posner
Google | Aug 11, 2025 |

Elliot Posner had a solar system put on his home eight years ago, and because his roof — roughly seven years old and battered when the house was lifted after Sandy — needed work, Sunation evaluated and patched it as part of the installation. The array has performed reliably over the years: when a critter guard came loose and later the wireless monitoring needed an upgrade, Sunation handled both fixes. This year a leak developed under one panel; even though the company’s roof warranty had expired, Sunation coordinated with his roofer to remove the panels and reinstall them free of charge. He warns, however, to hire your own roofer: the contractor Sunation provided downplayed the repairs required, and he suspects that may have influenced what was disclosed. He doesn’t believe the leak resulted from the solar installation and appreciated that Sunation managed the panel removal and reinstall at no cost — but the lasting takeaway was to involve an independent roofer for any roof issues.

2. Keith Tuohey
Google | Jun 9, 2025 |

Keith was shopping for a residential solar system and interviewed ten different salespeople before he discovered Dave Lomonaco at SUNation. He found Dave’s product knowledge and professionalism head and shoulders above the rest, and Dave walked him through the process so smoothly that each step felt easy and seamless. The SUNation install team arrived on time, performed tidy, careful work, cleaned up thoroughly, and made sure he was satisfied before leaving. It’s been a year since the array went up, and Dave still checks in regularly to confirm everything is performing — that ongoing attention after installation is the detail Keith keeps returning to.

3. Kathy C
Google | Jun 11, 2024 |

Kathy C had installed solar with Sunation four years earlier after a careful comparison of companies, and that positive first experience led her to hire them again when she moved into a ranch-style house. She worried about curb appeal because the panels had to go on the front of the home, but the six men who showed up for the job quickly put her at ease with their attention to detail and tidy work. John B. led the crew, explaining each step clearly and answering questions, while the team worked efficiently — joking among themselves but leaving a clean site and a neat finished look. They completed the 32-panel array by about 3 p.m., walked through a checklist with her to confirm everything, and left the front of the house looking like the installation had been carefully planned. She has already recommended Sunation to friends and, should she ever need another installation, plans to use them again.

2. Ian Newman
Google | Feb 9, 2025 |

Ian had Sunation put solar on his home seven years ago. After a recent move he needed panels for a new house and went back to Sunation without hesitation — the seven years with them made the decision automatic. He ended up with his new home fitted by the same company he’d used before.

3. Leonard Simonetti
Google | Jan 31, 2025 |

Leonard met Alexa two years ago after shopping around with several solar companies, and as a realtor of 27 years he had been skeptical. She put him at ease enough that he decided to put solar on his own home, and he ended up with a system that’s cutting costs and “saving a ton of money.” He now recommends her to everyone he knows; because he also sells houses, he’s seen buyer response firsthand and so far has gotten 100% positive feedback. For a longtime skeptic in the real estate business, the change from doubt to enthusiastic referral — backed by uniformly positive buyer reactions — is what sticks.

Michael Mannoia has had Sunation on his roof for almost ten years. During that time he ran into two equipment problems—a loose wire and a blown fuse—and technicians came out quickly both times to make the repairs. The fixes were handled under Sunation’s robust warranty, which gave him peace of mind long after installation. What he remembers most is the prompt, warranty-backed response to those small but system‑stopping issues, keeping the panels operating without drama.

3. Maria Sigmund
Google | Mar 26, 2025 |

Maria has lived with her solar panels for almost nine years and experienced no problems — the system has continued to deliver steady production and feels like solid quality. She appreciated that Sunation handled a fast, tidy installation and kept the focus on customer service throughout the process. She walked away impressed by the combination of reliable output and responsive support. The detail that stands out for prospective buyers: after nearly nine years the panels are still performing well with zero issues.

1. Christopher Jewth
Google | Jan 27, 2025 |

Christopher first connected with SUNation through Kevin S. in sales; Kevin answered every question and helped shape a plan that turned into an overwhelmingly successful solar installation for his home. John B. and his installation team handled the roof with obvious professionalism and respect, taking care of the property and leaving things as neat as they found them. The project finished, and today — one year after completion — he has zero regrets. What sticks with him most is the combination of Kevin’s thoroughness up front and the installers’ genuine care for his house.

2. Paul North
Google | Dec 20, 2024 |

Paul bought a home solar system from SunNation in 2019 and has enjoyed steady, trouble-free output ever since. He discovered one small hiccup when a Wi‑Fi controller failed, but SunNation moved quickly to replace it and he was back online almost immediately. Over the years the panels have cut his energy bills significantly — enough that he felt comfortable supplementing oil heating with electric heaters to reduce overall fuel spend. He also compared quotes beforehand and found SunNation’s offer both less expensive and higher‑producing than competitors, and the combination of strong performance and a fast warranty fix is what stood out most.

3. KK Savella
Google | Oct 1, 2024 |

KK picked SUNation after doing thorough research and had a residential solar system installed about two years ago. They ended up with panels that look beautiful and haven’t given them any trouble. The crew installed everything so unobtrusively they barely noticed anyone on site, and staff handled the whole process professionally from first contact through completion. They encountered no bait-and-switch and secured a favorable financing package that, combined with tax credits, made the deal attractive. Two years on, no issues and the panels still look great — the seamless installation and smart financing are what stuck with them.
