John's Story

Tired of high utility bills, John took control of his electric bill with solar power.

John was tired of paying higher utility bills each summer to cool his home. Bakersfield got a lot of sun during the summer and that often meant extremely high power bills for air conditioning. But, John also knew that abundant sunshine meant great solar production. Realizing that a home solar system could help reduce his family's energy costs, John started investigating his options for photovoltaic power.

He quickly learned that going solar with Sunrun would provide John with long-term savings on his power bills for years to come. With Sunrun Total Solar, John went solar for a low upfront cost and skipped the traditionally high cost of purchasing a system himself. 

He found his solar installation seamless and Sunrun's billing process as easy as opening an email and writing a monthly check. When John wants to check on how his system is doing, he simply logs in to his online account and checks his production data. 

Now, John's friends are also looking into clean energy with Sunrun, too!
