      Answered
      I contracted with Sunnova for the installation of solar panels. They use Powur in my area for this. I had several roof inspections done by both Powur and Sunnova before installation to be sure there were no roof problems. On my main house the installers installed the panels on both sides of the roof doing so from the front and over the ridge for the backside. In doing this they loosened my ridge caps. With the first bad storm after the solar panel install the ridge caps started blowing off, dozens of them. I contacted Powur and after some more back and forth and more ridge caps blowing off they sent out an inspector who took pictures and concluded it was not their fault, even though the caps blew off in the middle of the roof where they dragged the panels over. I contacted a licensed contractor who visually inspected the roof and gave me a price for the repair $800, he did conclude that the work on the roof caused the ridge caps to come off. Powur told me to fix the roof and submit the paid invoice. I did but they are only willing to pay $400. I have tried to engage with ******* for their help they seem to agree that the inspections that were done show a fairly new roof with no defects. Powur will not give me or Sunnova a reason for not paying in full for the damages.

      I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the service provided by Powur PBC, particularly with regard to the handling of my solar project, and the performance of the project manager, ***************************. Despite my initial enthusiasm for embracing renewable energy and engaging with Powur for the installation of solar panels, the entire experience has been marred by numerous delays, unprofessional conduct, and a profound lack of communication.The project encountered multiple setbacks and obstacles, many of which could have been mitigated with proactive communication and effective problem-solving. However, instead of taking ownership and demonstrating genuine commitment to resolving issues, ************************ approach seemed indifferent and lackadaisical.One of the most glaring deficiencies was the failure to maintain consistent communication. Despite assurances of regular updates and support, ******************** was notably absent, rarely reaching out via phone or other means to provide updates or address concerns. This lack of engagement not only exacerbated existing frustrations but also left me feeling neglected and undervalued as a customer.Furthermore, the project suffered from numerous delays, which were not adequately explained or addressed. Instead of taking proactive measures to expedite the process or provide alternative solutions, ******************** seemed content to passively observe as deadlines came and went, without offering any meaningful assistance or support.Overall, my experience with Powur PBC and ******************** has been deeply disappointing and frustrating. What should have been an exciting and rewarding journey towards renewable energy adoption has instead become a source of stress and disillusionment. It is my sincere hope that this complaint will serve as a catalyst for meaningful change within your organization, prompting a reevaluation of customer service practices and a renewed commitment to excellence.
