Things started out ok and everyone was very nice and professional. However once the system was fully installed and turned on the problem started. At first only one inverter would work at a time. When I called to report the issue it took over a week for them to come back out and correct the grounding of the system which was causing this problem. About a month later they system was inspected by NYSERDA ( New York State). At the conclusion the inspector shut the system down and told us that they system was wired incorrectly and based on this it was unsafe and a potential fire hazard. There were several other issues a few which were wrong size fuses were used as well as non ul rated equipment was used and the wrong system cut off. After reaching out to them they scheduled an appointment to come and correct the issues. It took almost a month along with two no shows (were I waited home all day) for the contractor to come out and spend a day and a half to rewrire the system and replace all non compliant equipment. About one week later I received a call from SunRun who stated they needed to send Onforce out to check the system as it was not working to spec. After about a week of not being able to get a hold of anyone I escalated to the VP of service at sunrun. After about another week they finally sent out a third contractor to inspect the system. After about a 3 hour inspection and review of the system he concluded that the panels were still not wired correctly and the corrections were wrong and would need to be corrected yet again. He came out about a week later and spent over 8 hours making the corrections of the corrections and rewiring the system for the fourth time. This are the basics of my disaster don't have enough space to upload all the documentation and issues. UPDATE BASED ON PROVIDERS RESPONSE: Not Sure where they come up with a 20% savings here is the monthly report of my production directly from the providers website Date Reported Estimated 10/2013 330 403 11/2013 257 342 12/2013 139 246 01/2014 197 281 02/2014 155 438 03/2014 780 661 04/2014 952 784 05/2014 498 921
Description of Work: They were contractors for SunRun the provider we leased our solar systems. They installed the system using contractors of their own.

Response from OnForce Solar, Inc.
We are very sorry to hear that you had an unpleasant experience during your solar installation. This is highly uncharacteristic of our team, as we pride ourselves on selecting highly qualified and responsible professionals to work with. We consistently strive to provide excellent customer service and have literally hundreds of happy residential and commercial customers. I understand that all of these issues have been resolved, and that your solar system is fully operational. We’ve checked for you today and over the past month your system has been over-producing by 20%, and you should be seeing a 20% greater savings on your utility bill than we had originally anticipated.

They offer a legitimate product and payment plan. The employees are skilled, professional and pleasant. The electrical inspector for the Town was impressed with the quality of the installation of the in inverters, electrical panels, meter, conduit and cable. I was a little surprised by the number of electrical panels installed on the side of the house. I would have preferred to see a picture of a previous installation. However, I am happy with the installation, they installed everything as neat as possible.
Description of Work: Installed solar panels under a program where you can pay up front or thru energy savings. The cost is kept low thru incentives and tax credits.
