Sunward Power reviews

Cate Wilcox hired Sunward Power for a home solar install and immediately found the team personable, professional and highly responsive. She watched the project move forward on schedule, with the installation completed smoothly and without a hitch. Communication stayed steady from start to finish, and impressed by that reliability she has already referred several friends to the company — the responsiveness and seamless install were the details that made the experience memorable.

m s discovered Sunward Power made the entire solar project feel effortless, guiding the process from estimating and permitting through installation and post-install follow-up. They found the team reliably responsive and quick at every step. When a PGE inspector raised a question during the inspection, they called Sunward and got someone on the line immediately — the inspector left clearly impressed. The crew were local professionals throughout, and what stood out most was that instant, on-the-spot support that turned a potential snag into a fast sign-off.

Daniel Kempler found Sunward professional and responsive throughout his solar installation — from the first meeting, through permitting and installation, to activation and the follow-up work. He appreciated that the team was easy to work with, stayed on schedule, answered questions promptly, and consistently followed through on commitments. Kaden, who handled both sales and the installation, stood out as especially capable and personable. The clearest takeaway for him was the single thread of accountability and reliable execution: one team managed the process and delivered when they said they would, which kept the whole project straightforward and stress-free.

Jeff found Sunward Power through the Energy Trust of Oregon on March 12, 2025, and immediately appreciated dealing with a local team instead of national door‑to‑door companies — no high‑pressure upsell. He met Kaden on March 14; Kaden arrived with a clear plan for a 7.92 kW system made up of 18 SIL 440QD panels and Chilicon CP720 microinverters, sized to cover 100% of the household’s current electrical use and leave him only responsible for Portland General Electric’s base connection fee. After he decided to proceed, Rebekah and Chris took over the paperwork, pulled permits with the City of Portland, and submitted the application to PGE for a bidirectional smart meter; the contract was signed and installation set for May 21. The crew finished the roof work in one day on a straightforward, south‑facing array, the city inspection happened the same week and passed, and although PGE took longer than expected to swap the meter, the system is now online and producing. A minor snag appeared when two of the Chilicon inverters failed; Sunward returned quickly and replaced them as soon as the issue surfaced. His main gripe is with the Chilicon user interface — the gateway feels sluggish andc

T Van chose Sunward Power to add solar to their home and worked directly with Chris and his team. The crew arrived prepared, showed clear technical know‑how, and finished the entire install in two days. They walked away impressed by how smoothly the job proceeded and by the installers’ knowledge. The detail that stands out is that two‑day turnaround under Chris’s supervision — quick, competent work that left them confident in the system.

After a winter outage left their home cold and dark, zab discovered Sunward and decided to move forward. They worked with the company to pick the right-sized solar-plus-battery system, let Sunward handle permits and rebate paperwork, and watched the install go up smoothly and without headaches. The detail that mattered most came months later: another outage hit, and the battery-backed solar kept the house powered until the utility restored service. Because the system actually delivered when it counted, the family avoided being cold, losing power, and the usual frustration — the outage became the proof that the installation was worth it.

Tim Ketchum recently had Sunward Power install a home battery system, and what stood out was how the team balanced technical skill with a quietly confident, non‑pushy manner. He worked with Chris Middlebrooks, Rebekah, Kaden, Jesus, and Austin, who stayed in close contact, answered every question promptly, and devised practical solutions whenever something needed adjusting. They handled the whole process with kindness and responsiveness, so he felt supported rather than sold to as his family pursued greater energy security. He finished with a functioning battery system and a team he trusts to back it up.

Walt chose Sunward Power for a residential solar installation and walked away impressed. He discovered that the deciding factor wasn’t price but confidence: Chris brought high energy and clear expertise to the pre-sale discussions, planning and pricing, and that gave Walt enough trust to pick Sunward even though another company quoted slightly less. He felt the system would deliver the power and ROI they wanted because those early conversations were thorough and honest. Once the project moved forward, the coordination stayed smooth. Rebekah ran the permitting and handled the Energy Trust of Oregon rebate and PGE net metering applications efficiently, keeping the process clear and on schedule. The installation crew showed up respectful and friendly, answered questions on site, and left neat, professional work. The detail that stuck with Walt was simple: the pre-sale confidence and strong administrative follow-through—so much so that he prioritized that over a lower bid and ended up with a clean, operational system and straightforward rebate and meter setup.

Gary Corwin hired Sunward Power to add a Tesla Powerwall 3 to his home’s existing rooftop solar array. Chris came out, listened to his goals, inspected the current setup, and recommended the Powerwall 3 with a competitive bid. After signing, Sunward navigated the city, OR Energy Trust, and PGE approvals — a process that took about a month. The installation crew then arrived, installed and integrated the battery efficiently, stayed communicative throughout the job, and left the site thoroughly cleaned. A city electrical inspection followed and cleared the work quickly with no issues. What stood out most was the installers’ knowledge and the steady communication during the install, combined with a smooth permitting and inspection run that wrapped up the project without surprises.
