Reducing the Bertrands’ Energy Bills

“Our utility’s rates just kept going up, and we knew that solar could solve the problem. Going solar is all about reducing energy costs, and SunRun offers the easiest, most affordable way to do it. Since we’re simply buying solar electricity at a fixed rate instead of investing in solar panels, we don’t have to worry. SunRun takes care of everything, and we pay less for energy. It’s a win-win.”
– Philip Bertrand, San Diego CA

As a captain in the US Army (retired), Philip Bertrand is used to paying close attention to details. When he first started investigating solar, Philip was focused on the cost of solar panels and began comparing various manufacturers. As he came to understand solar better, the light bulb went on. Philip realized what he needed was solar electricity at a low fixed cost – not necessarily a certain type of solar panel. He started to redirect his focus on the cost of solar electricity, not the price of solar panels. Soon it became clear that SunRun’s complete service offering was the best option. The Bertrands would only be paying for the electricity generated by their system. They wouldn’t have to invest in any of the equipment or take on any maintenance responsibilities.

The Bertrands only pay 13.5 cents per kilowatt-hour for SunRun Solar Service. And to top it all off, the Bertrands’ rate for SunRun Solar Service will stay low and fixed over the long term, whereas their utility’s rates will keep climbing. SunRun also guarantees the Bertrands will get all the electricity promised in their SunRun Solar Service agreement – or their money back. “At 65, you don’t want to climb on your roof,” Philip Bertrand said. At SunRun, we agree that it’s best to leave solar maintenance to the experts.

By saving over 50% of the upfront cost to go solar, the Bertrands were able to tackle a kitchen remodeling project and go solar at the same time. Since their cost for SunRun Solar Service will never go up – and they’ll never see any additional maintenance or repair costs – budgeting for electricity is a breeze.

That seems too good to be true, don’t you think?
