Since December of 2024, we have had nothing but trouble with getting our solar panels fixed. The critter guard has finally been fixed, but now they are refusing to contact us about getting the meter to our solar panels fixed. We have been trying to get them to answer us/have someone come out to fix it for over two months. There has been 0 attempts on their part to fix the issue at hand. This is a breach of contract on their part. They need to either fix it, or we will have no choice but to start a lawsuit against them.Business Response

I this complaint was first sent in due to Powur not communicating with us to get the situation fixed. It has since been fixed and we only got that process started because I told them we were writing to the BBB about the situation.

The Power to the system keeps shutting off or tripping off. Riverside Public Utility has been out here three times to correct the problem. They said that they will no longer come out and reset the system. I have been trying for the last three (3) months to contact someone at POWUR to rectify this problem to no avail.I have called ************** and after the recording the line disconnects. I have tried other numbers and have left a voicemail. The gentleman who wrote the policy has tried to get ahold of someone and he has met with negative results. I have finally reached out to MOSAIC Client **************** Hopefully I will get some help from them but they will not gaurentee any results. I've gotten to the point where I have stopped paying my bill because i cannot afford to pay $615.00 a mth for solar and $2200.00 a month for Electricity. Please Help.Business Response

Powur has completely screwed me over. I purchased this program/solar panel loan through one of my friends who worked for the company in *********, but they had to go through another company to get the solar panels installed being that I live in ****** ********. The advisors that came out decided to put the max solar panels on my home to jack up the cost of my loan to Powur and half of the panels are on a side of my house that doesn't get sun. I pay you $205.30 a month and my electric bill 2 months ago on top of this was over $300 and this past month $346 making my electric bill $550 for January. On top of this I was informed that I would be getting $14k back in rebates on my taxes, however I do not make enough to get this refund, which was not explained properly to me. As of today, I owe them $44,392.21. I have paid: $6,364.30. The total of the loan they signed me up for is: $47373.28 *********** was committed to saving me money and it was a scam. The man who sold me this solar program opened a support ticket last week and we haven't heard back. I called today and sent an email and couldn't get through to anyone, so I am creating a dispute with the company here due to the fact that I was sold a product that is costing me more money than before signing up and the team that assessed and installed the solar panels put half of them on a side of my house that doesn't get sun to ensure my loan was as expensive as possible. Paying $550 a month to have electricity in my 1100 sq ft house is insane. Last month the solar contribution was only $55 and the month before $50.37. I keep my house at *************************************************** and remove the solar panels that get not sun, as well as have this reflect on lowering the rate and cost of what I owe on this loan.Business Response

There were solar panels placed on the north side of my house that doesn't get sun. This was specifically done to ensure my loan would be at the max value versus helping me as your customer, a single female homeowner. I understand that the system is working correctly, but placing solar panels on the side of my house that doesn't get sun is taking advantage of me.Business Response

I signed a solar contract for a large system with battery backup in early April 2024. Installers showed up on August 1, with incorrect information despite an on-site survey which was completed before the drawings were done. In mid November, I received permission to operate and the system was turned on shortly after. Initially the monitoring system was tracking my consumption incorrectly - the electricity I was using from the grid was showing as going to the grid and vice versa. It took 2 months for someone to come on site and correct that issue by (I was told by the installer) switching two wires which had been installed incorrectly in the factory. However, despite flagging that my grid electricity usage was HIGHER than before the system was turned on, nobody looked into that issue at the time - assuming the incorrect wiring would fix that problem. Additionally I have never been able to connect the inverter to the monitoring software and was told in January that they would send someone back to look at that issue. Someone is finally scheduled to come February 19. In the meantime, I have gotten 3 bills that show higher usage than before my system was turned on, and what the monitoring software says I'm drawing from the grid is half of what I'm being charged by the electric company. Powur is extremely slow to respond and has even made me reach out to SolarEdge (the equipment manufacturer) directly, which is not stated in my contract. However, there is a "time is of the essence" clause which is clearly not being observed by them. At this point I believe they had faulty equipment installed and they need to remedy the situation, but don't respond timely to me.Business Response

The visit on 1/15 fixed only part of this issue. I am still paying for twice the energy I draw from the grid and nobody at Powur is helping with investigating the faulty equipment. Further, I am still not able to connect to my inverter and my entire system was taken down by the installer for a weekend and I never received a notification that my system wasnt running. The installer did this with my agreement to troubleshoot my issues, which are nowhere near resolved, but I still should have had an automated alert about the system status.
Two inverter issues have been confirmed, one fixed, and one still outstanding. Powur have communicated minimally and only when directly called out. I would like the entire inverter replaced at this point as the issues with it continue to build up.

When solar companies like Powur and independent solar providers sell their products they provide a clause stating that there is a federal credit worth 30% of the total price of the project. However, they need to clearly state that the actual tax rebate is the taxes owed on the 30% of the project cost. So based on your earnings slab this may be actually 30% of the 30%, which computes to less than or approximately 10% of the price of the project compared to and making customers believe that this is 30%. This has to be spelled out in bold to everyone buying EVs as well as Solar.Business Response

Hello *** L ****,
Hello,
Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us enhance our services. At Powur, we strive for transparent communication and apologize for any difficulties you've experienced.According to our records, Powur reimbursed you in September 2022 to cover removing trees shading your solar panels. In March 2024, we proposed to install four additional solar panels at no cost to boost your system's output. Unfortunately, we could not proceed with that installation due to new restrictions imposed by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) on manufactured homes. As a proactive alternative, we provided compensation equivalent to the cost of the four solar panels, and we're pleased that you accepted this resolution. While this adjustment doesn't alter the production capacity of your system, it ensures you were justly compensated for the additional equipment.

Power did my installation and did such a poor job there was four to five leaks in my ceiling this caused quite a bit of water damage after multiple attempts they finally stopped the leaking. Claiming all the while that they would handle the restoration with a reimbursement. I got them the quotes that they wanted from reputable restoration companies totaling and over $6,000 of damages and they came back and said they would give me $3,000. This doesn't even touch the damages I didn't even request housing accommodations while the restoration would be completed. Over 6k just in restoration and repair! This has been a terrible ordeal all the while we are living in a potentially dangerous moldy house while they jerk us around.Business Response
