Mike's Story
Thanks to Sunrun, Mike was able to install photovoltaic panels on his rooftop without a huge out-of-pocket expense.
After patiently waiting to purchase the home he'd been renting for 12 years, Mike finally bought his house in 2010. Mike was excited about the steps he could now take as a homeowner, such as rebuilding a new deck and getting PV panels for his roof. Mike and his wife wanted to make a difference in the environment and lower his electric bill. Although his home was only 8 years old, his electric bill was a whopping $375.
As soon as Mike and his wife purchased their home, they started looking more seriously into solar in Cape May County. They soon discovered, however, that the upfront cost was far too expensive. Mike had plans for his new house and was in the middle of building a new deck in the back of the house, along with other home improvements he wanted to undertake.
He told his solar sales representative about his financial concerns and was immediately informed of Sunrun's solar power purchase agreement.
Mike was ecstatic. With Sunrun, Mike was able to switch to clean energy for $0. "There are lots of things I couldn't be able to do around the house if I purchased a solar system myself," Mike explained, "I think for people who don't have the means to purchase a system and pay that upfront, leasing is the way to go."
"When we purchased our home, we wanted to do something with solar. We wanted to do something to help the environment and my electric bill before solar was $375, even though the house is only 8 years old."
