Kamtech Solar in New York: an honest look
Kamtech Solar is a New York City-area installer that built its name as a SunPower dealer. If you're getting a 'SunPower by Kamtech' pitch, there are a couple of things worth understanding first, especially given what's happened to the SunPower brand.

Who Kamtech is
Kamtech Solar Solutions is based in Inwood, New York, was founded in 2014, and is led by president Krzysztof Kaminski. It installs residential and commercial systems across New York and New Jersey, and it has long marketed itself as a SunPower dealer, often under the 'SunPower by Kamtech Solar' name.[1]
What the SunPower badge means now
This is the part that's changed. Kamtech built its brand around SunPower, but SunPower, the original manufacturer, went through Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2024, and the SunPower brand and dealer relationships shifted in the aftermath.[2] That doesn't make Kamtech's installs disappear, but it does mean a 'SunPower' label today doesn't carry the same single-company backing it did a few years ago.
The practical move is to look past the badge. Confirm exactly which company stands behind your warranty, and remember that the warranty on the panels themselves traces to whoever manufactured them, which can survive a brand's troubles even when the brand itself is in flux.[2] Ask Kamtech to put the equipment makes, models, and warranty issuers in writing.
Reviews run both ways, so read the contract
Kamtech's customer reviews are mixed. You'll find genuinely happy customers praising the work, and you'll also find detailed complaints, including ones about contract clarity and guarantees that a homeowner felt weren't spelled out in the signed agreement.[3] That spread is common, and it points to the same advice we'd give for any installer: the written contract is what counts. If a 'percent reduction' guarantee or a production promise was made verbally, it has to be in the document, or it doesn't exist.
