“We had Run on Sun install our solar panels on our home in Pasadena and couldn't be more pleased.
They dealt with the city on our behalf, we did not have to do a thing. The installation was quick and they made sure our rebates were received quickly. We got several quotes and Run on Sun was very comparable to the industry. Our electric bills are so small, we are elated.”

Buyer Beware — There is Only One Run on Sun®

Not all providers of solar power installations are alike in their quality of work and attention to detail. At Run on Sun we believe in providing the highest quality work so that you will be proud to show off your Run on Sun solar power system. Our people are true professionals who take great pride in what they do, and we have the satisfied clients to prove it! (You can read some of their testimonials, here.)

All too often we come across systems that are highly shaded and which will never perform adequately. We do not bid on jobs that we do not believe will work well for our potential client. Apparently, some installers are more interested in generating a quick sale than they are in your being able to generate energy with a reasonable return on investment.

Beyond that, we frequently see installation work that is at best shoddy, and sometimes downright dangerous. Solar power systems, when installed properly, should operate safely for many years. But when corners are cut and less than real professionals are doing the work, there can be no such assurances. Here are some examples of the questionable work of others we have come across.

Wires Exposed to Damage This picture shows wiring from the PV array that is not in conduit and instead has been bent over a sharp metal unpainted edge. If that edge wears through the insulation over time, arcing could occur as those wires carry high voltages and currents during the day. At Run on Sun, we would not allow such an installation.
	Conduit Exposed to Damage Here, flexible conduit is bent around a sharp metal edge. Over time this could cause a hole to be worn in the conduit that could allow water to enter the conduit.
Improperly Sealed Conduit This connector is open to the elements, allowing water to enter the conduit and possibly damage or even short-circuit electrical connections.
	Improper Splices Splices are used to bond rail sections both mechanically and electrically. But here, there is neither a mechanical nor electrical connection being made. (A proper splice would have screws in all 4 holes and a jumper wire to bridge the gap.)
