Sunder Energy
High Risk (D) — Insolar Honesty Grade
Sunder Energy operates a 'dealer of dealers' aggregation model — recruiting and supporting individual solar sales reps who then sell installations through various third-party installation companies. The structure produces extreme variance in customer experience, with the highest documented complaint volume of any post-2019 solar entity. Multiple state AG investigations active.
Where this grade comes from
Public-record events
- Multiple state AG investigations active (UT, AZ, NV, CA — 2024-2025)
- BBB complaint volume: highest per-company growth rate in residential solar sector 2023-2025
- Federal class actions: dealer sales-practice misrepresentation (2024-2025)
- Multiple state contractor licensing board complaints
/ Best for
Limited recommendation. Customers who have specifically researched and verified the individual sales rep and the actual installing contractor entity may proceed with extreme diligence.
/ Watch out for
Sunder's structure means your contract counter-party is not Sunder — it is one of dozens of regional contractors. Verify the actual installer's name, license, and BBB record before signing.
