Nonda's Story
Knowing firsthand that her utility could raise rates at any time, Nonda decided to take control of her costs by getting home solar with Sunrun.
Nonda had had it with her utility company. Her utility bills were escalating and she knew it was time to start taking control of her electricity costs. “Our bills were so high, at one point it was $850,” she recalled, “it’s outrageous.”
But, Nonda and her family were not electricity “hogs”, she explained. They had always had high utility bills – they owned a pool – but after living away from home and returning after three to four years, they noticed a huge leap in their utility rates. “We recently came back and it was just outrageous,” Nonda exclaimed, “outrageous for nothing!” It was this unexpected and unexplainable rise in prices that drove Nonda to investigate Livermore’s solar options.
She knew it was time to look into home solar. Luckily, she had just received a postcard in the mail from Acro Energy, one of Sunrun’s Livermore photovoltaic installation partners. She was immediately drawn to Sunrun’s affordable solar financing options - particularly the solar power purchase agreement. “It’s reasonable without having to fork out $30,000 to buy [a home solar system],” said Nonda, “It’s a good program.”
Now, at their home in Livermore, solar has allowed them cut their high energy costs and take control of their electricity rates. Sunrun has helped Nonda and thousands of homeowners across the country get access to affordable, clean home solar energy. “It’s a good thing Sunrun is doing.”
"Utility rates really are a rocket. You can’t even budget that into what you think you’re going to pay because it keeps changing."
