At such a low upfront cost, Robert knew right away that he wanted to get home solar with SunRun.

Getting home solar panels wasn’t about the money, for Robert of Northampton, Massachusetts. He’d always had an interest in alternative energy and was interested in doing something different. So, he decided to go solar in Northampton, MA. “It wasn’t a cost-saving measure,” Robert insisted.

But the costs did help him and his wife make the switch to clean home solar energy. Robert was indeed interested in owning a Northampton solar home, but was reluctant to take out a home improvement loan to install his new home solar system. Even with the financial incentives in Massachusetts, the cost of solar was still quite high. “If we had to buy the whole system, we wouldn’t have done it,” Robert admitted. With SunRun home solar financing, it was affordable to get installed and there was no need to deal with unexpected repairs and maintenance.

Robert claims that it was a spur of the moment decision. He and his wife had read about SunRun and Massachusetts solar homes in the Boston Globe and jumped at the chance, “Let’s do it!” Northampton solar was in reach. For them, it was finally a chance to get alternative home solar energy at an affordable price, and lock in costs that weren’t going to increase over time.  "Sure we were out a $1,000," Robert added, "but with cutting down on CO2 and everything else, it was worth it."
