Will's Story
Unlike other solar companies, Sunrun allowed Will to make a difference in the environment at no upfront cost.
Concerned with the amount of dirty energy Colorado consumed, Will was determined to look elsewhere for his house’s electricity needs. That’s why he jumped at the chance to switch to solar power with Sunrun. “I’ve always wanted solar,” Will said, “I want to be a good steward and much of the electricity we use here is coal-powered.”

| Will | Boulder, CO | XCEL | 3.36 kW | $0 | $40 | $50 |
Living in Colorado was also perfect for home solar; for his home in Boulder, the solar potential was quite high. “Colorado is sunny 300 days a year and my house has perfect southern exposure,” Will explained, “It was a no-brainer. It’s sunnier here than San Diego!”
But while Will had always kept an eye out for home solar in Boulder, CO, it had never been a feasible option until Sunrun. It was simply too costly to purchase a home solar system” outright. As Will explained, "solar was cost-prohibitive." So, he waited. For two years, Will talked to local solar companies about Boulder solar options until one day, in early January of 2010, they told him about the Sunrun solar financing option - a solar lease.
It appears that his two years of waiting for solar in Boulder have finally paid off.
"Sunrun reduced the price of home solar by an order of magnitude! Solar went from 10,000 bucks to 950 bucks."
