AI Review Snapshot

Sun Solar is mostly praised for knowledgeable staff, seamless paperwork, and strong savings, but reliability and communication issues appear in a subset of installs.
Reviews consistently highlight Sun Solar's knowledgeable sales team and thorough, end-to-end handling of permitting, inspections, and paperwork. Customers report real savings when the system is up and running, and praise installation crews for efficiency and quality equipment. Positive feedback often centers on responsive project coordinators and timely updates. However, recurring concerns include inverter reliability issues, scheduling delays, and gaps in post-install communication. A few installations caused roof damage or debris, and some note miscommunication about payment timing. Overall, Sun Solar delivers strong value with some reliability and service gaps to address.

UPDATE: Maybe the worse decision I’ve made recently. I really hate leaving bad reviews but I need to. I’m not sure where to begin because of all the issues. My install took over a month and finally might be functioning. When I call to complain I keep getting the same person and they transfer me to the same person and nothing gets done. Everyone is very friendly but it feels like a run around. I did talk to a lawyer about my options. I know a bunch of people with solar and they all love it. I feel like choosing Sun Solar for my solar system was a bad decision. After a few weeks of low performance a crew was at the house for the third time and finally has it making power. Not sure yet if it’s what it’s supposed to make but better than it was. 2 weeks of making power and now the system is down completely and not making power. Part may take 2 weeks to get in. Can’t make up all the headaches with this decision.

Sun Solar has been easy to work with. I have two jobs with fluctuations in my hours so scheduling was difficult, but they were super flexible and worked with me. Special shout out to Rob Gunn. He talked me through the options, answered my questions, and not once did it feel like he was trying to pressure me into going solar. He asked about why I wanted solar and kept the conversation focused on helping me achieve those goals.

My wife and I were planning on having our first child and thought solar would be a great investment financially with the rising cost of utilities.
Met with Kyler Brown and he explained the benefits of going solar. He is a great representative helping us decide out needs and being there to help us with the installation process. With the rising cost of electricity we are glad we pulled the trigger when we did.
Thank you sun solar team.

I researched Sun Solar and thought I found a good solid company but I am starting to doubt the equipment this company uses.
My brand new system has been on my roof for nearly a month and it has produced exactly half a days worth of of power. While the people at Sun Solar have been kind and courteous the fact remains my system (mostly likely the Tesla Solar Inverter) does not work correctly. The system - again likely the Inverter - appears to have a problem coming back on line after its been offline over night. It took three tries to get the system to pass the Liberty Utilities witness test because the inverter needed to be reset by Sun Solar and now after only half a day of collecting sunlight the system failed to operate the next morning.
This is the fourth time I've had to contact Sun Solar to get them to reset the inverter on a brand new $28,000 system and of course they are closed on the weekend so now I have to wait until Monday.
I have tried to be reasonable about this but at this point it is beyond frustrating and is totally unacceptable.

I bought a solar system from Sun Solar and it was installed in December of 2025. The whole process from the paperwork to installation was seamless. The install crew came out on a Monday and installed the system and the next Monday City Utilities came out and gave me permission to operate. Since that day my system has been working perfectly and I look at my Tesla app almost daily to see how much free electric I am making.
I received my first electric bill yesterday since installing solar and for the 22 days of the billing cycle that I had solar, my bill was -$4.10.
10/10 would recommend going solar with Sun Solar and their team.

Well time to share my experience. The consultation and install were great Kyler and the installers were great. My issue is. After my power company came out and gave the OK is when everything went south. Since that day the system hasn’t even kicked on. Had a tech come out and looked and said it’s a “ground fault” said they would be out the next day to fix. And nothing. Texted both and got no response. No update. No explanation.. got a 54,000 dollar system rated for 11.5kw but got a 54,000 system that generates 0kw.

So far, everything is great! My sales rep, Rob Gunn, did a great job setting me up with a nice system. What I appreciated most was his honesty. He let me know what fees I could still expect from the electric company, and never pressured me to make quick decisions. The communication between the office people and the rest of their staff could use a bit of improving other then that Rob Gunn did great job.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an incredible experience with Sun Solar in Springfield, MO! Jimmy Shelton handled our solar project and made the entire process seamless. From the start, we received professional site plans and expert guidance. They took care of all inspections and permits efficiently and on schedule.
Our home is 4,800 sq ft across three levels, with two A/C units, two water heaters, five bedrooms loaded with TVs and computers—not to mention a pool—and our energy usage was no small feat. Last November, our electric bill was $618. This month, it dropped to just $13.71. I couldn't be happier with the results. They used Tesla components, and the installation looks great—both visually and functionally. The system is performing beyond expectations, and we’re seeing real, measurable savings.
If you're considering going solar, I highly recommend Sun Solar and Jimmy Shelton. They truly deliver.

Sun Solar, was very easy to work with, and very informative. They helped me from start to finish, and was there to answer any questions that came up.
I would recommend anyone that is looking for solar to look no further. This company is top notch. I did a lot of research before I made my decision, and what I noticed is not many companies were end to end.
Thank you Kyler, and your team for your everything along the way, and helping us save money on one of our biggest expenses!

Jimmy Shelton was excellent! Super knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process. He clearly explained everything and helped us choose the smart home plan that's already saving us money. We also love the peace of mind knowing we're protected from future rate hikes. Highly recommend working with Jimmy!
