Suns Up Solar is a safe pick for straightforward projects. We analyzed dozens of reviews spanning seven years and found a pattern of competitive pricing, patient education, and clean installations. One homeowner compared five bids and chose Suns Up because Peter took time to explain inverter differences and panel layouts without rushing to close. Another got their ground-mount system permitted and installed quickly, with the crew explaining each step. The company earned consistent praise for tailoring systems to individual goals (one customer wanted US-made panels to support domestic manufacturing, and Peter walked through scenarios to make it work). But service quality appears uneven after the sale. We found multiple mentions of slow follow-up when customers requested add-ons or performance assessments, and two reviews described post-install repairs that took weeks to resolve. If you value a transparent sales process and competitive pricing over guaranteed white-glove aftercare, Suns Up delivers where it counts most.
If you're fine handling minor follow-up yourself and want an installer who'll explain your options without sales pressure, Suns Up is a solid choice. Just don't expect rapid-response service two years down the line.
Ron compared five solar bids before landing on Suns Up Solar, and what won him over was how much clearer their proposal felt from the start. Peter took the time to walk him through the real differences between panels, manufacturers, inverters, layouts, and all the technical pieces, then kept shaping the options as Ron got more specific about what he wanted from the system. While some of the other companies seemed eager to move fast and move on, Suns Up Solar slowed down enough to make sure he understood exactly what he was buying, and they did it at a price that came in very competitively. Once the panels were up on his home, the company handled the details and hiccups professionally, but the standout moment came after work had already started: Ron realized he needed to account for future electric-car plans. They adjusted the setup, added extra equipment, and even installed his charging station at no added charge. That extra mile made the finished system feel truly tailored to the house, not just bolted on and left behind.
Holly ended up with a solar array on her roof that made a strong first impression and kept earning it long after the panels went up. Peter and his crew handled the original installation smoothly, even though they ran into extra work that no one could have predicted from the bid; he priced that added labor fairly instead of turning it into a surprise. Then, about a year later, a piece of equipment in the system failed. As soon as the replacement arrived, Peter sent the crew back out to swap it, and the warranty covered the manufacturer’s mistake. With Ashley in the office keeping things moving, the whole experience felt like a company that stood behind the job one year in and one year out.
Ann’s home ended up with a solar system installed in 2017, but the experience turned into a long trail of repair bills instead of savings. She and her household paid more than $1,200 to keep the system going, including a first repair that Peter Putt had agreed to reimburse for $300, then another fix that came in close to $1,000. The inverter was mounted in direct sun and seemed likely to fail next, and even after the latest work, two rows still had not been reworked. By the end, she was weighing small claims court against a company that had already gone out of business.

John wanted to push an existing solar setup from covering about 45% of the home’s power to more than 90%, but he was careful not to crowd the roof with panels in spots that would throw off the house’s look. The original installer passed on the job because it was too small, and the biggest local supplier refused to work alongside another company’s system. Peter Putt’s Suns Up Solar took it on without hesitation. Pete came out to walk through the options, figure out what was possible, and price it out, and John found the bid fair and the start date workable. The crew arrived on schedule, got to work efficiently, kept the site clean, and finished on time. The most memorable extra came after the panels were up: Peter helped run an Ethernet cable so the new monitoring system could live on the wired network instead of depending on WiFi, a small touch that made the whole project feel thought through.
Sarah spent time comparing several local solar installers before committing to rooftop panels, and Suns Up Solar stood out quickly for offering the strongest mix of price and know-how. The company behind Peter Putt already had a reputation for quality work, and that held up once the project got underway: the installation went smoothly, showed up exactly when promised, and matched the original description. What made the experience especially memorable was that the initial bid actually came down instead of creeping upward, while the crew stayed responsive and ready to answer questions the whole way through.
Sterling's Roost found Suns Up Solar to be a strong fit from the first planning conversation through the final install, all at a price that felt fair. The most memorable part was how thoroughly the team walked them through every stage, from prep to installation, while laying out placement choices and the differences between panel and equipment options. They also dug into the home's electrical load, including the appliances, and that extra attention led to one practical surprise: replacing an old freezer before the solar setup went in.
Clark408 came into the process with a rural property and a very specific need: a ground-mount solar setup that could handle open land instead of a typical rooftop install. Suns Up took the time to study the property and lay out several system options, which made the whole process feel tailored instead of one-size-fits-all. The installation moved quickly and professionally, and the team handled the permits and other paperwork behind the scenes. Peter and the crew left the clear impression of a company that knew how to manage a ground-mount project from the first conversation through the final approvals.
SLCorralitos ended up in the middle of a fairly involved home upgrade: a new electrical panel, a transfer switch, and solar going onto a tile roof. Peter helped them sort through the options, made the process easy to understand, and kept the project moving all the way through completion. When a few hiccups came up along the way, the crew kept the installation on track and finished it successfully, which left them feeling that the trust they placed in Suns Up Solar had been well earned.
Kizzy came into the solar search comparing several companies, and Suns Up Solar stood out right away because their team didn’t lean on polished promises or tell her what she wanted to hear. Instead, they took a straightforward, practical approach that felt refreshingly honest after the other interviews she had sat through. The people she worked with were consistently pleasant, easy to deal with, and dependable, and the system ended up running well once it was installed. What stuck with her most was the sense that she got real value for her money, not just a slick sales pitch.
Nikolay’s solar job moved quickly from start to finish, and the pace made it clear he was dealing with a crew that knew what it was doing. The smooth, professional handling left him already planning to come back next year to expand the panel system with the same team.
Doug walked into the process expecting solid workmanship, and the SunsUp Solar team delivered it with an unusually careful touch. They handled the installation professionally, took time to answer every question he had, and made sure the job was done right. After the work was finished on his home, the system ended up performing wonderfully, with the kind of smooth operation that made the attention to detail stand out.
Long-term satisfaction for Suns Up Solar drops to 2.5 ★ compared to early reviews. This decline is worse than 75% of installers we looked at.
Long-term reviews carry the most weight in our methodology because they are most representative of what you should be paying for: a system that will perform for years.
