Erik's Story
Tech-savvy Erik wanted to blaze a solar trail for others to follow.
For Erik, going solar in Brea was all about using technology to do things smarter. He knew that owning a Brea solar home was a financially wise investment and that there was great urgency behind renewable energy, given the current energy crisis. Erik believed that the country had to achieve energy independence and free themselves from importing energy. He also knew that there were plentiful natural and renewable resources out there for energy generation. All that was necessary was the right technology, and he knew it was out there.
Installing a photovoltaic system was not all that Erik wanted to do, however, to save money and make a difference in the environment. He had grand plans for his home, but knew that all the home improvements could add up to be quite costly. Erik considered purchasing a system outright but the upfront cost was simply too much to add in conjunction to his other projects. "Do I really want to spend all our savings on this at the time?" he asked himself.
He went back to REC Solar, from whom he had gotten a solar quote, and told them of his predicament. They immediately recommended the Sunrun Total Solar payment option. Erik was able to get started with solar for several hundred dollars and have money left over to install a solar thermal system, purchase a greywater recycling treatment system, and do other things around the house that were beneficial for the environment and the long term investment in his house and home value.
"I love technology and doing things smarter. Why solar? One, it's financially wise, and two, we got to get ourselves free from importing energy into our country. We have plentiful resources to generate energy, we just gotta put the technology to work!"
