Elizabeth and Kirby's Story
Sunrun helped put home solar power within reach for Beth and Kirby.
Living on the sunny island of Oahu, Beth and Kirby been interested in going solar ever since they purchased their home several years ago. They looked into installing solar systems with different companies, but the price was always out of their reach.
| Name | City, State | Utility Co. | System Size | Upfront Cost | Pre-Solar Electricity Costs | Post-Solar Electricity Costs |
| Kirby & Elizabeth | Ewa Beach, HI | HECO | 3.45 kW | $0 | $200 | $150 |
This all changed when Sunrun entered Hawaii in September 2010. Beth and Kirby couldn't believe it at first and decided to investigate. After speaking to several representatives, they knew Sunrun was their best option. "It was a no-brainer to have the system installed [by Sunrun]," they said, "I only wish that had been done sooner!"
Beth and Kirby have already been able to see savings on their electric bill. Even with their payments to Sunrun, Beth and Kirby have been saving an average of about $50/month.
One of the things Beth and Kirby like best about the Sunrun program is the complete care that Sunrun takes of their system:
"I love the fact that I don’t have to worry about maintaining the system since Sunrun is actually the owner. This means that if something happens or if a part wears out, I don’t have to pay to replace it. Sunrun takes care of everything. And they have taken care of everything since we made the decision to install this system, from getting the Homeowner Association’s approval to getting the electric company inspection done. The only thing I had to do for solar was sign up for the program."

"Sunrun has the best program on the market. I don't have to worry about maintenance or anything else, and I can't believe the difference in my electric bill."
