California’s San Francisco Bay Area is well known as the center of the information technology and internet industries. But increasingly, solar power companies are giving a second meaning to the name Silicon Valley.
In Fremont, California, which is just to the east of the heart of Silicon Valley, Sanjay Gangal is part owner of an internet company called Internet Business Systems – and is a very eco-conscious homeowner to boot. In order to green his home’s power supply, he started paying his local utility a monthly premium to support wind energy in his home’s power mix. But he felt that their constant rate increases weren’t fair – and not providing enough green benefits to his home – so he decided to add even more renewable energy to his home’s power supply with home solar power.
After researching several traditional solar purchase options, Sanjay decided to use SunRun home solar financing to get panels installed at his Fremont home. According to Sanjay, “SunRun was able to create a program that costs less to go solar upfront and still makes great financial sense. I believe it’s a win-win for me and the environment.”
In addition, Sanjay likes that SunRun is going to take care of his home solar system over the long run: “I think SunRun’s ongoing maintenance is a great deal. If they didn’t do it, it would be my problem. Plus, I love that I can monitor my solar system online.” Sanjay is confident knowing that SunRun is on the hook to deliver his home solar electricity – and that he doesn’t have to get up on his roof to make sure his panels are getting the job done.
According to Sanjay, going solar through SunRun was a win-win: “I was able to freeze my electric bill so I don’t have to pay the utility’s rate increases, and I can save a lot of money in the long-run.”

I think money could have been better spent on geothermal. Solar is only good when the sun is shining.
almost every one now are open of installing solar panels at home… and there’s no doubt Sun run will in the market
