Margaret's Story
For ten years, Margaret dreamt of PV panels, but couldn't afford them. With Sunrun, her home solar dream finally came true.
Margaret knew from day one that she wanted a home that self-generated clean power. Over ten years ago, when her house was being built, Margaret made sure that her roof faced the right direction, with the idea of eventually adding home photovoltaic panels. For Margaret, producing and using renewable energy wasn’t about saving money on her electric bills every month. What intrigued her about clean power were the environmental benefits - the idea that she wouldn’t have to rely as heavily on other sources of power, such as coal or gas.
For ten years, she dreamt of a green home, but in Worcester, solar was simply too expensive – the cost of purchasing home PV panels outright made her dream unattainable. Margaret spoke to many different local companies but was deterred time and again by the high quotes for residential panels. Ten years later, Margaret learned about Sunrun solar financing. For someone who couldn’t afford the $35,000 it took to get started, paying the $1,000 upfront cost and a small monthly fee to Sunrun for the alternative power produced was perfect. With the initial obstacle eliminated by Sunrun, her smart and green home was in reach.
"I've always been intrigued by solar and the power purchase agreement was the perfect opportunity, since I couldn't afford the $35,000. I like the idea of solar, the idea that we don't use other kinds of power. Solar power is there to use."
