Bill's Story

For $0 upfront with a Sunrun solar lease, Bill and Julie's solar dream became a possibility.

For Bill, solar technology was present everywhere. Ever since he started keeping up with NASA's solar-powered satellites and space station as a youth, he kept his eye on photovoltaic technology. Now, Bill sees solar in action on roofs, parking garages, and streetlights all through his neighborhood. “Living life, I’ve become aware of solar power," said Bill, "Solar has been around for a long time."

Living in the sunbelt only encouraged Bill's appreciation for solar energy. Everywhere he looked, he found new solar panel companies sprouting up and new media articles about solar power in his city.

All this took shape when Bill's neighbors across the street started investigating home solar options. They had purchased their solar panels outright and started sharing their utility bill savings with Bill and his wife, Julie. Bill and Julie were impressed but were discouraged by the high upfront cost of purchasing a solar system. “I didn’t have 50 grand as an outlay to get this thing going, so I forgot about it,” Bill explained. Bill knew solar panels might be a perfect option for his home, but did not think it was something they could afford. 

Then, one day, Bill learned about Sunrun solar leasing. With a Sunrun solar lease, Bill and Julie were able to get started with solar power for $0. Sunrun paid for the system, and all they had to do was pay monthly for their solar electricity. Easy and affordable, Sunrun solar leasing was the perfect solution for them. Finally, after years of waiting, Bill brought the power of the sun from the depths of outer space to the comfort of his Arizona home.
