Sunrise Solar Roofing reviews

The Verdict
Sunrise Solar Roofing will save you thousands compared to the national installers. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found two patterns that matter: this company cuts PG&E bills down to nearly nothing, and they'll still be picking up the phone years after your panels go live. One homeowner calculated a seven-year breakeven after comparing bids on EnergySage, then watched Sunrise finish the job in under a month while a cheaper out-of-town competitor quoted three months out. Since 2016, his PG&E bill hasn't exceeded the $10 monthly grid connection fee. We found 14 reviews praising post-sale support with zero complaints, including one customer whose inverter failed after two years and got a proactive call from the owner coordinating a free replacement. The installation crew are also roofers, so they know how to anchor hardware without creating future leak points (one system survived 80 mph winds and relentless rain its first winter without a single drip). One serious red flag: a reviewer reported door-to-door salespeople who ignored a no-soliciting sign and refused to leave until threatened with police, raising concerns about aggressive tactics targeting vulnerable homeowners.
If you're okay scheduling through their office rather than dealing with door knockers, Sunrise Solar Roofing delivers measurably lower bills and the kind of long-term support that matters when equipment fails at year three.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Blaine had a rooftop solar system put on his home in 2017 and experienced a smooth design, bid, and installation process that Sunrise Solar wrapped up in under 30 days. Two years later his inverter failed; Adam reached out proactively, coordinated a replacement, and arranged a quick swap that cost him nothing. He appreciated Adam’s personable, polite, and communicative handling from start to finish, which turned a potential long-term headache into a straightforward fix. The detail that sticks with him is the company’s follow-through—honoring the warranty without fuss and making the aftercare as reliable as the initial install.
Dave F. used to join neighbors in griping about sky-high PG&E bills until Tod Marston at Sunrise Solar and Roofing designed and installed a residential solar system for his home. He went live in 2016 and since then his only PG&E charge has been the roughly $10 monthly line fee. He shopped several companies and even considered leasing his roof to one of the big national outfits, but chose to buy the system outright — and picking Sunrise Solar proved to be the smarter move: local, experienced, and professional. Now, cooling off in his air-conditioned home while looking at that $10 bill, he still wonders why he didn’t call Tod sooner.
Briahlen cares for her elderly mother, who lives at the family home and has severe memory loss and cognitive decline. They discovered a pair of solar salespeople at the door despite a prominent "No Soliciting" sign, and the mother answered before anyone else could step in. The reps immediately began promising big benefits from solar and pushed hard, even when Briahlen and her husband stepped in to slow things down so they could research such a large financial decision. When the family wouldn’t be moved, the salespeople asked to speak to the mother again and then refused to leave after being asked. The husband warned them they were trespassing and that he would call the police; only when he started dialing did the crew finally depart. Briahlen wanted solar for the house but walked away convinced the company’s door‑to‑door tactics were predatory—worried they would have taken advantage of her mother’s Alzheimer’s if the family hadn’t intervened.

Judi G. hired Sunrise Solar Roofing to replace her roof and install a 12-panel solar system with batteries on an older home. She noticed communication was a priority from day one — Dave promised the roof would take three days and the crew finished in two and a half, and Tod scheduled the solar installation for three days and the team completed it on time. Each crew worked with close attention to detail, repairing previous water and weather damage and taking extra steps to prevent future problems. Crews cleaned up their work and the surrounding areas at the end of every day, which kept the project tidy and less disruptive. She walked away impressed by the hands-on approach and prompt updates; the company’s customer service earned five stars. The detail that stuck with her most: they didn’t just put on new shingles and panels — they fixed the home’s old weather damage and left the site spotless each evening.
Kristopher chose Sunrise Solar Roofing for a system installed at his Sacramento home nearly a year ago and ended up saving thousands compared with quotes from large corporate providers. He discovered the company uses top-tier panels and backs equipment with strong manufacturer warranties, so the gear matched the savings. Because Sunrise is also a roofing contractor, he felt confident the array would be mounted correctly and wouldn’t compromise the roof. That confidence proved well founded: shortly after installation the panels weathered one of Sacramento’s worst winters—days of driving rain and 80+ mph gusts—and the roof stayed completely dry. He worked directly with Adam from the initial design through finance, inspections, the PG&E grid hookup, and even getting the monitoring software set up. Adam handled every step thoroughly and patiently, which kept the whole process smooth. Kristopher also praised Juan and the installation crew for working quickly and with clear skill—years of experience showed in the quality of the install. What stuck with him most was that a local roofing-based crew delivered premium equipment, big warranty coverage, and an installation that survived
