Home Solar Success Story in Ashland, MA

Thanks to the insistence and passion of an 11-year-old, Adam's family got home solar in Ashland, MA with SunRun.

Adam initially began his search for home solar in Ashland, MA in early 2009. During this search, Adam discussed the advantages and benefits of solar frequently with his 11-year-old son.  The search continued and so did the animated conversations with his sun.  Unfortunately, after considering several companies, Adam realized that the upfront cost was simply too high for their family to go solar in Ashland at the time.  But his son didn't give up hope.  Even at such a young age, Adam's son was passionate about the environmental benefits of owning an Ashland solar home.  He felt it saved energy and saved the earth.

So, the family waited and the 11-year-old continued to hope.  Then, one day that summer, Adam read an article about SunRun in the Boston Globe and learned of its power purchase agreement program.  He contacted two Massachusetts solar companies and learned that both were working with the SunRun program.  By then, it was a no-brainer.  With SunRun, Adam and his family were able to go solar for $0!  Everyone, especially his son, was ecstatic.  Adam's two young sons had a great time watching the panels getting installed on their roof. 

Adam and his family love their SunRun home solar panels. While they have already started saving money, they care more about what owning an Ashland solar power home means for the environment and the clean energy movement.  In fact, they were so happy with their panels that they urged their parents in New Jersey to go solar, as well.  Thanks to the passion of an 11-year old, two generations of a family upgraded their homes to solar and joined the fight against climate change.

"I had been considering solar and my son said we should do it. He felt it was important because it saved energy and saved the earth. Purchasing a system outright was prohibitively expensive but with SunRun, the minimal capital was very low and inexpensive."
