Lance's Story
Lance wanted a solar system that he didn't have to worry about.
For Lance, going solar was the best of all worlds. An electrical engineer by trade, he had always been interested in solar technology, but never seriously looked into getting a system for his San Jose home. Then, his nine-year-old daughter started learning about the environment in school and asked him if their family could do more to go green. Coupled with his high and ever-increasing power bills, the answer was obvious. Their family would get solar panels for their home.
| Name | City, State | Utility Co. | System Size | Upfront Cost | Pre-Solar Electricity Costs | Post-Solar Electricity Costs |
| Lance | San Jose, CA | PG&E | 2.45 kW | $11,600 | $370 | $200 |
Lance did a ton of research and called many different California solar panel companies. The family knew that solar systems were quite costly and started keeping a budget. But, when one company told him about Sunrun's solar power service plan, he knew that was the way to go. He realized that he didn't actually want to purchase the solar system himself. While Lance wanted to save on his power bill, he didn't want to pay a large upfront for his system. In addition, he knew with a family to care for, he didn't have time to worry about how his system was doing.
Lance loves that he doesn't have to do a thing to power his home with clean, solar power. His daughter can be happy that they're making a difference in the environment, and he can enjoy savings on the family's power bill.
"Dollar by dollar, Sunrun was far and away the best deal for me. I love the fact that it's absolutely painless and it hasn't disturbed my life at all."
