Home Solar Success Story in Peoria, AZ

Wanting to keep the house cool for their grandkids, Jeff and Diane went solar with a SunRun solar lease Power Plan for $0.

The story of Jeff's Peoria solar home is primarily a story about children.  Jeff had lived in Arizona for 25 years.  He was married with 3 grown children and 2 grandchildren, to whom he and his wife were quite close.  They watched their grandchildren every day, including on the hottest of Arizona days.  With two air conditioners already running full force in their home, the electricity bills were piling up.  But, they wanted to continue keeping their home cool and comfortable for their beloved grandchildren.

Living in sunny Arizona, Jeff knew that going solar in Peoria was an option, but didn't know where to start.  Luckily for him, his son was already well in the know.  His son had done his research and was already outfitted with a SunRun home solar power system and was on his way producing clean, affordable solar energy and saving money along the way.  Jeff decided to make the switch, as well, and upgraded his home to Peoria solar power with SunRun for free.  His SunRun Power Plan covers all system monitoring, solar panel maintenance, and repairs, as well, so Jeff and his wife don't have to waste time worrying about their panels, but spend more time with his grandchildren.

Solar Cost and Value
How does solar affect my home's value?

A home solar electric system can significantly increase the value of your home. An ICF Consulting study concluded that saving $1 every year on energy costs adds $20 to a home's value.  This conclusion is based on the assumption that the savings from the solar electricity allows the homeowner to spend more on other things, including another home improvement or larger mortgage.

What is the payback period for a home solar power system?

The payback for your home solar power system depends on lots of variables, including how much electricity you use, the size of your home solar power system, how much sun your system gets, and whether you decide to purchase it or simply do a SunRun Power Plan (also known as a solar lease or power purchase agreement). For a cash purchase, your payback could be anywhere between 5 and 15 years.   A SunRun Power Plan payback is much less, usually between 2-4 years, because we require very little upfront (usually between $0 and $1000) and you simply pay for the solar electricity you generate.
