Craig's Story
With Sunrun, Craig is putting the money he's saving to better use elsewhere.
Craig had always thought about getting solar panels for his home - he lived in Waikoloa and it was always sunny. Electricity in Hawaii was also very expensive - his monthly bills were upwards of $300. But, a home solar system cost so much upfront that he never seriously considered getting panels. Craig already owned a solar water and tried his best to turn off the lights whenever he could.
| Name | City, State | Utility Co. | System Size | Upfront Cost | Pre-Solar Electricity Costs | Post-Solar Electricity Costs |
| Craig | Waikoloa, HI | HELCO | 3.45 kW | $0 | $300 | $200 |
His interest in going solar was reignited when he saw that his neighbors were installing panels on their home. After watching their installation, he decided to restart his research.
Craig discovered that while buying a home solar system was still very expensive, there was now another solar option on Waikoloa - Sunrun. With Sunrun, Craig was able to able to get started for no upfront cost at all. Sunrun purchased his system for him and he simply paid Sunrun a low monthly rate for his solar electricity.
Now, Craig is saving around $100 every month on his total combined electric bill. Enough to justify running his Jacuzzi, he joked.
