SunPower Service Reviews
“Hiring the right people made all the difference! I have a Sunpower solar and storage system. After a long, drawn-out installation by SunPower’s original installers over multiple visits and 7 months, eventually SunPower went bankrupt while the system was still unfinished. I found Kick Electric through Reddit, they came out, fixed a bunch of problems and errors and everything was working at the end of just one day, including a panel upgrade that was in the contract but SunPower just hadn’t done at all. All around, it was an efficient, effective, and professional job by Nick, John, and Chris with Kick Electric.”
“I initially approached the decision to hire Kick Electric with some trepidation. I have a SunPower SunVault system that has been inoperative for an extended period; it ceased functioning prior to the bankruptcy of SunPower, which was unable to rectify the issues while it was still a solvent company.
However, Nick’s methodical approach to his work alleviated my concerns almost immediately. He provided clear explanations of each step in the process and welcomed my presence as he conducted his tasks. Remarkably, he succeeded in restoring the functionality of the SunVault system, which had remained non-operational for two years.
In light of this positive experience, I intend to contact Nick first for any future electrical issues.”
“We’ve suffered ongoing issues with our SUNPOWER and double inverter SunVault battery wall since installation in June 2023. Our system is more complicated than most due to the double battery wall being located over 160 feet from the SUNPOWER PVS “brain” hub. Our system never worked properly and was decommissioned in July 2024. At this time, SUNPOWER also improperly installed a replacement PVS in our system’s control hub. The long and short of this is that our system was rendered inoperable as it was decommissioned…and just a couple weeks prior to SUNPOWER declaring bankruptcy. I spent five months attempting to figure out a solution and to no avail.
It was my great fortune to have stumbled upon Nicholas Opdyke and his engineering team. He came out the next day, discovered the wiring issue in the improperly installed PVS.,and made other repairs. His engineer, John, was able to recmission the entire system, including solar panels and the double battery wall. Our system is now up and running and fully operational for the first time since installation! I could not be more delighted with the professionalism and skills offered by Nicholas and his team! Five stars is insufficient to express our satisfaction and I give Nicholas my highest recommendation.”
“I have a Sunpower Sunvault battery that stopped working two weeks after Sunpower went bankrupt. Zero lights, zero charging, the battery was completely dead. I tried about 4 Bay Area companies, none of which could help so I assumed it was a write off. A friend of a friend then put me in touch with Nick who came over to the Peninsula. And to my amazement in 3 hours he managed to completely fix it. I am so delighted, and would definitely have Nick over again, and would encourage people with issues with their Sunpower system to reach out in case he can help.”
“Highly recommend Kick Electric. Nick was responsive, thorough, and helpful. He was able to squeeze me in on short notice and resolve my issues and even followed up later with additional guidance and tips.”
