"01/22/16 - For those of you who may be thinking Summerlin Energy will provide you a solar system which will eliminate your electric bill, think again. The following is a direct and exact response, word for word which Summerlin Energy delivered to the Better Business Bureau in response to a complaint I filed with them in December. If this is truly their position, why would anyone ever consider doing business with them? According to them, they don't guarantee they would save you a single penny or reduce your consumption by even a single watt.\n\n\"Summerlin Energy does not guarantee production on systems we install and in this client's case, we never gave a guarantee of production either.\" These are their words, not mine. Need I say more. I think not.\n\nSummary:\n\nWorking with this company has been one of the worst experiences of my life. From cost overruns to scheduling delays to listening to excuse after excuse, this has been undeniably one of the worst nightmares my family and I have had to endure and a HUGE financial loss we may have to live with for a long time to come. Like other customers of this firm, we were promised a system that would eliminate our electric bill and be delivered within 4-6 weeks of signing our contract. In every aspect, Summerlin Energy FAILED. The system was not delivered on time but three months late with cost overruns of nearly $2K. I had to personally meet with the VP and Sales Director and withhold substantial payments just to force the installation or most likely without withholding payments, I would still be waiting. In that meeting, the VP assured me things would change and I would receive the system I was promised. Fast Forward to today...the system was finally installed but in its present form is grossly underperforming and we continue to receive electric bills month after month. Our savings has been in the neighborhood of 30% not the 110-120% we were promised. In the three months since our system came online, I have reached out on multiple occasions to this company to rectify the problems with their system. Their response...NOTHING!!, despite a clear written warranty which obligates them to do so. Even the same VP who repeatedly gave his personal assurances no longer returns my calls and refuses to address my concerns.\n\nBIG RED FLAG. THIS COMPANY WILL DEMAND FULL PAYMENT FOR THEIR SYSTEM BEFORE IT EVER GENERATES A SINGLE WATT OF ELECTRICITY. THIS IS A NON-NEGOTIABLE REQUIREMENT STATED BUT NOT POINTED OUT IN THE CONTRACT YOU WILL BE REQUESTED TO SIGN. YOU WILL ONLY LEARN OF THIS CALAMITY AFTER IT'S FAR TOO LATE. YOU WILL BE FORCED TO TAKE A HUGE RISK THAT THEY HAVE PROVIDED WHAT YOU PAID FOR SINCE THEY DO NOT HONOR THEIR TEN YEAR WARRANTY INCLUDED IN YOUR CONTRACT. SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY DISPUTE, THEY IMMEDIATELY WILL THREATEN YOU WITH MECHANICS LIENS. YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF WHAT REPUTABLE COMPANY WOULD TAKE SUCH ACTIONS. WE HAVE HAD OUR SYSTEM FOR 90 DAYS AND HAVE MADE MULTIPLE REQUESTS TO HAVE OUR SYSTEM REPAIRED. THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THESE DEFICIENCES AND JUST TODAY(12/11/15) THEY HAVE INDICATED IN WRITING THEY WILL NEVER DO SO. WE ARE NOW SEEKING LEGAL RELIEF. \n\nFor anyone contemplating signing with this firm, I, in the strongest terms, urge you to look elsewhere. Entering into a business relationship with this company is a choice I would strongly discourage. Also, if you need more proof, please be sure to take a look at the other reviews posted elsewhere provided by customers who share our similar experience. BTW, it appears several of the positive reviews are from non-existent customers. In at least one case, the biased positive review posted is from a Summerlin Energy company employee."^^ .
