Sunbum Solar review

Positive reviews:

“Prince William County is reputedly one of the worst counties in Virginia to install solar. Why? Because of its overbearing regulations, red tape inspections, and drawn out processing times. Even so, Sunbum Solar & Roofing delivered. For nearly a year, Sunbum worked with a difficult county and drove significant distances to ensure both the customer and county were satisfied. It wasn’t always easy or perfect, but I had several months to troubleshoot the equipment and to see for myself what this solar contractor is made of: I give them five stars. A big thank you to Kevin and his team (Andrew, Jason, Jack, and others) for working with me and my family. We were exacting customers, but we are also very happy customers. Further, I can confirm that Sunbum has some of the best prices on the solar market. You will not find a better bang for your buck, nor better customer service that gets the job done. Thank you, Sunbum Solar & Roofing.” – OnemoreSB ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ March 12, 2026

“I had a great experience with Sun Bum Solar and Roofing . All of my questions during the first meeting to discuss my solar needs were answered, and all of my questions after the initial meeting were addressed quickly. I didn’t feel pressured to make an immediate decision, sign anything, or commit to anything right away as I’ve experienced with other solar system company representatives. Kevin even made recommendations on system accessories to not purchase right away to help make this project more affordable for me. Communication as to what to expect before, during, and after the installation process was frequent and simple to understand. The installation team arrived on time, and they worked seamlessly to finish the job within a day. I am looking forward to seeing what the new system can do over the next year, and want to work with Sun Bum again when I’m ready to add more panels and a battery system. Thank you to Kevin and everyone at Sun Bum Solar and Roofing for an excellent job.” – P.ablang ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ October 5, 2024

Positive reviews:

“I had tried purchasing a PV and battery system for my new residence from a different company starting early mid 2025. They designed it for __the wrong house__ and charged me $1,000, then went bankrupt near the end of the year. I searched for another firm with good reviews and found Sunbum Solar for my new house. In about 2 1/2 weeks they were able to design from plans and plat map, an 18+ kw system with 27kwh battery system, get all proper permits and installed in 2025 and my PTO. I definitely recommend Sunbum Solar, everything is professional looking and they are pleasure to deal with. If I need to expand my system I will definitely go with them.” – Winfield100 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ December 2025

Negative reviews:

“Putting my review at a 2 star because this is definitely a case of caveat emptor aka “”buyer beware.”” The installation was executed well but I would recommend anyone proceed with caution as I definitely feel as they though walked the line of capitalizing on a scam and honestly pushing you towards tax fraud. They will tout high end tax return savings that would only be produced by claiming the roof work as part of the solar install which is 100% tax fraud. When they are called out on it, they play stupid and suggest you consult with a tax professional. Ultimately they will break it down like this: * Expect $50 a month in SRECs. – I’ve had one issued in 4 months for $40. * Expect $xxxxx.xx from tax credits – Expectations are not reality. I had to have them separate the roof costs from the solar so that I would not be committing fraud. This is a horrible and dishonest sales tactic. * Expect to save $xxx.xx on your power bill based off this chart – I question how these charts are even produced. If you examine the energy production ceiling for each panel, the math does not add up. Ultimately, I would say steer clear if you can. My goal was to just break even on the monthly payments on the solar loan by reducing my energy bill enough so that I would have a net zero payment. Instead I’m stuck with a monthly payment to them and maybe a 10-20% reduction in my energy bill. I would reduce them to 1-star if I weren’t being objective, but they did do a good job with the roof install but this is ultimately a misleading product.” – AJ N ⭐⭐☆☆☆ 2024
