We at SunRun are happy to announce our new partnership with OCR Solar & Roofing today that will expand affordable solar service and bring roof-integrated solar electric systems to more homeowners throughout Northern California. OCR, an industry leader in integrated solar roofing, is our first partner to specialize in roof-integrated solar applications. Through this partnership, OCR will now offer its residential customers SunRun’s full-service, low-cost solutions in conjunction with its premium category of roof integrated solar panels, which blend seamlessly into the design of the roof.
“Working with OCR, SunRun can offer more options for its hassle-free solar services to the individual homeowner concerned with aesthetics and cost. Today, homeowners going solar can truly have it all and on their own terms,” said Nat Kreamer, President and COO of SunRun.
SunRun has pioneered the residential power purchase agreement (PPA), through which homeowners are provided with solar electricity at a lower cost than they pay the local utility company. SunRun’s service includes free lifetime maintenance, monitoring and performance guarantees, making solar worry-free and eliminating future costs. OCR joins our esteemed group of expert installer partners.
“The recently expanded federal tax credits combined with the solar rebates offered in California are helping homeowners save thousands of dollars while going solar,” said Aaron Nitzkin, vice president of solar for OCR Solar & Roofing. “It’s important to not only select the right product but also the right installer to protect your long term investment. Most contractors drill holes in tile roofs, which voids the roofing material warranty. OCR has 40 years of experience in the roofing industry and knows how to properly integrate panels with no worry of broken tiles, leakage or anything else that may compromise the integrity of your roof.”
OCR offers seamlessly integrated roof tile design and installation, featuring BP Solar’s EnergyTile solar modules, allowing Northern California residents to enjoy one of the best-looking options on the market and the opportunity to save money while living green. Tile integrated solar panels offer communities an option to have solar panels that blend in with the décor of the neighborhood. OCR’s team works closely with each homeowner and within community association’s guidelines if necessary, to create a customized option that is aesthetically pleasing and offers maximum benefits and compliance.
“In our community of Serrano, preserving the beauty of the homes and landscape is our primary goal. This is especially important when it comes to making changes like adding solar panels,” said John Bowman, General Manager of Serrano El Dorado Owners’ Association. “What we appreciate about OCR Solar & Roofing is they offer a product that integrates seamlessly into the roofs and is much more visually appealing than the typical rack mounted panels. Plus their team works closely with our architectural committee on the layout, making the approval process as easy as possible for our owners.”
OCR has established an exclusive relationship in Northern California with global leader BP Solar, the manufacturer of EnergyTile solar electric panels. Through this relationship, OCR is able to provide BP Solar’s 25-year time-tested product warranty, and as a roofing contractor, has the knowledge and experience to properly install these integrated solar roofing systems.
