Solar Power for San Jose, California
San Jose is the top solar city in California.
San Jose's ambitious renewable energy goals lead the way in clean power and set an example for the rest of the country. The city has a goal of meeting 100% of its electricity needs from renewable energy sources by 2022 and is working hard to remove any barriers to solar adoption.
One of major obstacles to home solar adoption is the high cost of solar power systems. Sunrun is making it easier than ever for homeowners to go solar by eliminating that obstacle and purchasing the system for you. It's a new kind of home solar, where you pay for solar electricity, instead of panels. Thanks to Sunrun, homeowners across the city of San Jose are switching to solar power.

CA Solar Policies & Incentives: San Jose's City Council adopted a Green Vision plan in October 2007, which set ambitious electricity goals. The state of California also has a long history of supporting solar power through its policies and incentive programs. Learn more about California Solar Incentives.
CA Utility Electric Rates: San Jose residents pay a lot to PG&E for their electricity - more than the national average. Furthermore, most California utility companies charge for electricity by tiers. This means the more electricity you use in California, the higher your electric rate.
With Sunrun, you can offset part of the electricity you use from your utility company with affordable solar electricity from Sunrun. This way, you avoid the utility company's highest rates for electricity.
