BOSTON - April 20, 2009 -

Sunrun, the leading provider of residential solar power, today announced the expansion of its popular low cost solar service to Massachusetts. Sunrun removes the largest barriers to widespread adoption of residential solar- cost and confusion -by offering homeowners a cost-effective and simple alternative to purchasing solar panels, ultimately reducing the cost of solar in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts homeowners who could not otherwise consider residential solar will be able to afford it through Sunrun's Power Plan, which enables a homeowner to go solar for just $1,000 down. Sunrun's services are extremely popular in California. The company selected Massachusetts as one of its first markets to service outside of California due to the strong support for renewable energy demonstrated by Massachusetts residents and government leaders.

"On behalf of Governor Patrick, I'm pleased to welcome Sunrun to the Massachusetts solar market," said Ian Bowles, Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs. "Thanks to the Governor's Commonwealth Solar rebate program and a bold set of clean energy reforms passed by the Massachusetts Legislature last session, we are seeing growing investment and new green jobs in our solar cluster. Sunrun will be an important new addition to the clean energy industry we are building in Massachusetts."

Without Sunrun, homeowners purchase, install and maintain the solar equipment that goes on their roofs to generate clean electricity, a frequently overwhelming process with a price tag commonly exceeding $30,000. With Sunrun's revolutionary service-based approach, Sunrun purchases the home solar system for the homeowner, and the homeowner pays Sunrun a low rate for the electricity produced by the panels. In addition, Sunrun provides complete monitoring, maintenance, repairs, insurance and performance guarantees for all its customers, significantly simplifying the process.

The residential industry leader and first to market, Sunrun started providing home solar service in California in 2007 and has seen exponential growth over the past two years among homeowners seeking an affordable, hassle-free alternative to buying a solar system at full price.

"Massachusetts is at the forefront of clean energy. The residents and leadership really understand that solar pays off financially, for the local economy and environment. We're excited to be able to offer solar to homeowners who want to take advantage of those savings and to make a difference, but simply don't have money in the budget right now to make a large purchase" said Lynn Jurich, President of Sunrun.

Sunrun partners with leading local solar companies who design and install systems for Sunrun customers, creating local green jobs. For its Massachusetts launch, Sunrun will partner exclusively with Alteris Renewables and groSolar, two of New England's largest and most trusted solar installers.
