Technically I have a system installed on my house that fully functions. That is the only good thing I will say about SunBadger Solar.Because not 2 months after completion I received notice of an impending lien on my property from the electrician who did work on my meter and breaker panel. I tried emailing and calling SunBadger and only got the most generic response basically telling me "we are working on this urgently"Now 2/25/23 I got the official notice that there is a lien on my property. Plus nearly $800 in legal fees. S... read more

I had solar panels installed by Sun Badger Solar in June of 2019. I was happy until last August when I had a leak in the roof under what looked like a squirrel's nest between the roof and one of the solar panels. I had a roofer who had installed a new roof before the panels were installed. He removed the nest and said it looked like several of the bolts holding the solar panel frames were not sealed. In addition I now have no electricity going to ComEd. I have been trying to reach the local office in Arlington Heights for th... read more

Purchased in May 31st 2022 with a target installation date of Mid Oct to Mid Nov. Installation process was very slow and the completion date kept being pushed back into December for various reasons or excuses. The installation was to be completed in two days instead took 5 separate visits. Communcation from the company was a joke. After the panels were installed. the array was supposed to be commissioned, however due to snow it was postponed several times. Sunbadger sent a crew to remove the snow off the panels and while sit... read more

I have been working with them since April 2022 the entire way I have been the one reaching out for progress updates and or asking about the status of the next step and rough time lines. The initial sales person told me around 6-9 months it took them 10 months. Which isn't too bad overall. The frustration is going months without hearing anything from Sun Badger. The installation crew left holes not properly plugged and tools around my yard and house when they left. Which I had to contact Sun Badger about to get them returned ... read more

Beware - Sun badger project management and upper management have been absolutely horrible. We've had 5 roof leaks since they put the mounts on the roof, including a current leak to which they are no longer responding to our inquiries. Sun Badger installed RT mini flashless mounting brackets on our roof instead of the flashed unirac mounts we were sold. The repairs to the roof are shoddy and won't hold up in the long run. We're most likely going to have to replace our brand new roof now to ensure no more leaks which will requ... read more

I signed up in November of 2021 and was told the installation would be complete my May of 2022 or possibly earlier. Here it is February 2023 and still no install. Excuses after excuses and now they won't answer or return phone calls or emails. After cancellations in November of 2022 and December of 2022 I asked to scrap the whole deal and was told I would owe money because of a contract that was signed. I also signed a contract for financing that they told me I had a week to decide how I wanted to finance the project because... read more

I signed a contract in September 2022 and paid 40% of the project cost in cash. Representative comes and does the site assessment of my home in October. I get an email explaining it may take 2-4 months to complete the technical phase. Early January 2023 get an email from the founder saying that they basically took on too much work and with limited supplies and labor they can't meet their promises and that in the next couple of weeks that I would receive an email giving me the status of my project. Nearly a month later, no em... read more

Lesson learned... I signed up with Sun Badger Solar in September 2022 and I was promised an early 2023 solar panel installation. One month after signing my contract with Sunlight Financial, Sun Badger was at my house capturing video with a drone and it appeared the project was moving forward. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago, I received a call from my "newest" project manager and it wasn't good news. He stated the company over extended themselves and would no longer be able to honor my contract unless I signed up for anoth... read more

Very disappointed with the lack of communication on my project. I found a Facebook page of people going through similar issues with this company, Sun Badger Solar Bad Reviews. Stay far away from this company.
