Tom's Story

For Tom, Sunrun's easy and affordable solar program was a breath of fresh air.

Tom didn't consider himself a big environmentalist, but he liked the idea of clean energy. "The bigger picture is we get off fossil fuels," he explained. Two of his friends had switched to solar power and would talk about their systems with him.

While intrigued, Tom wanted to make sure that photovoltaic power made sense. He knew that if he got a home solar system installed and it paid for itself in five years, going solar would be a no-brainer business decision for him.  That's why Sunrun made so much sense to Tom. He could switch to solar power in Sandwich, MA without having to pay a large upfront for the system. "Sunrun was such a breath of fresh hair," Tom said, "because I didn't have to solve that cashflow problem anymore."

Now Tom wants to make sure that everyone knows about the benefits of solar power. "I am young and healthy now, but I am trying to plan ahead for retirement. I live in the second most expensive electrical area outside of Hawaii." Tom plans to walk around his neighborhood and tell his neighbors about Sunrun. "Sunrun makes it easy," said Tom, "people should just take five minutes to look into it."
