Lynette's Story
Lynette and Joe were so excited about Sunrun they encouraged all their neighbors to go solar.
When San Jose, CA residents Lynette and Joe got involved with the Downtown San Jose Solar Project, they wanted to do something with environmental benefit without spending a fortune. "It's like you have to spend all your savings just to get solar," Lynette says, "it's very expensive usually."
By getting home solar with Sunrun, Joe and Lynette learned they could help the environment and their savings account at the same time. With Sunrun Total Solar, they could spend a lot less upfront for their photovoltaic system, save money on electricity every month, and help the environment all at the same time.
For Lynnette and Joe, Sunrun system cost $30,000 less upfront than they would have paid to purchase one themselves. Then, paying around $90 a month for the electricity their system produces, plus a few dollars to PG&E in San Jose, Lynnette and Joe have cut their overall electricity costs in half.
Because Sunrun takes care of Joe and Lynnette's home solar system maintenance, they don’t have to spend any time on their system's maintenance either whether that's replacing parts, cleaning the panels, or hassling with insurance claims if there's ever a problem. This means they can save more of their money for an electric car powered by solar, a great companion to their home solar system.
Joe and Lynnette were so excited about their system that they encouraged all their downtown San Jose neighbors to go solar as part of the Downtown San Jose Solar Project. They kept track of the San Jose's "solar progress" by posting a milestone sign on their home for all to see. There's no doubt that Joe and Lynnette played a big part in making the downtown San Jose Solar project a success.
"The numbers seem impossible. With Sunrun we could pay a lot less upfront for solar - it's magic. That means we can save our money and buy an electric vehicle when the finally come out."
