Known as "the city that knows how," San Francisco has always been at the forefront of smart and innovative technologies — and photovoltaic technology has been no exception. Today’s top entrepreneurs, scientists, and policymakers are all located here, hoping to reinvent how we use energy and fight climate change in the process. Home to countless photovoltaic companies and solar-powered households, the city is a prime location to look into renewable energy.
PG&E charges San Franciscans some of the highest prices in the country for electricity. These prices are only going to go up with time — and worse yet, the more electricity you use, the higher your rates! The more you spend on your electricity now, the more you’ll wind up saving with solar panels.
It's easy and affordable to upgrade to solar with Sunrun. Since Sunrun purchases the system for you, you can get started for a low upfront cost. Instead of paying for panels, you pay for solar electricity.
Sunrun buys a home solar system for you, and has it installed, and then takes care of it for you. You get to lock in your electric rates and buy clean electricity for your home.
Sunrun offers affordable solar power service through financing options, such as solar leasing or power purchase agreements. Learn more about California solar financing.
Sunrun partners with the top California solar companies to ensure high quality design and local installation by photovoltaic experts.
