      Solar Union calls me several times per day, every day to get me to sign up for solar, which I already have. Despite me requesting them to take my number off their call list, I continuously receive their phone calls. I just want it to stop. They rotate the numbers they call from so I can't just block any single number they've used. PLEASE MAKE THEM STOP!!

      Word of warning to all looking to install solar. Im sure Solar Union is like all the other companies, just trying to get you to install a system, but when things dont work out with PG&E, they leave you hanging out to dry and don't try to help you out. Make sure you read your contract carefully and that until your system is producing power to PG&E, you do not have to pay the remaining total. Reason being, Solar Union was happy to take all my money, but they didnt tell me that there was a chance that PG&E could come back after the installation was complete and tell us that we had to wait 6-9+ months before we could use the system because they would need to upgrade the transformer in our neighborhood. That would have been nice to know that could happen before I spent 30k on a system that is now useless until PG&E does the upgrade (I'm at over a year since the install and still waiting). They know it can happen and even told me it happens once in awhile, after it happened to me. And when this happens, the sales person is nonexistent and doesnt bother to help or call back. They could restring the system to make it work, but they want another 3K to do that. Dont even get me started on their Treasury that collects moneythey will send an invoice with interest on without sending the first invoice and tell you that you are late paying.
