Home Solar Success Story in San Jose, CA

Although Tom and Glorianne considered other solar companies, they chose the SunRun power purchase agreement because of the low upfront cost.

Tom and Glorianne needed advice. They wanted to reduce their energy costs and fight global warming by getting their San Jose solar panels. After considering proposals from several traditional home solar companies which required them to purchase home solar panels and perform their own maintenance, they heard about SunRun.

Tom and Glorianne chose SunRun because it gave them the lowest overall cost, in addition to the peace of mind that comes with SunRun’s maintenance and repair, and monitoring services.

Like many people, they were used to writing big monthly checks to their power company in San Jose. With their electricity rate rising steadily every year, it is no wonder they wanted to get a home solar system.

Because SunRun offers a low fixed rate for home solar electricity that's less than their utility rate, Tom and Glorianne were able to reduce their monthly energy costs and easily budget for electricity over the long term.

Tom and Glorianne got proposals from several other companies for home solar in San Jose. SunRun was able to save them over 50% of the upfront cost to make their San Jose home solar, and offer unbeatable long-term savings as well. For Tom and Gloriane, the long-term economic benefits of SunRun's power purchase agreement (PPA) was undeniable. It was easy to see that SunRun was the best deal available for solar in San Jose.

Since SunRun guarantees the electricity generation from their system, SunRun is on the hook to monitor and maintain the system at no additional cost. Because SunRun only gets paid for performance, Tom and Gloriane are confident knowing that SunRun will be watching their San Jose solar system like a hawk to make sure it delivers all the electricity SunRun promises. Or they'll get money back.

SunRun allows us to pay only for the electricity and nothing else. We don't have to worry about any of the equipment - ever. We're proud to be fighting global warming and reducing US dependence on Mideast oil. And we're happy to be saving money in the process."

SunRun Home Solar Questions
How long does my SunRun customer agreement last?

SunRun home solar customer agreements last 18 or 20 years, depending on where you live.  

What happens at the end of my SunRun customer agreement?

At the end of your SunRun home solar customer agreement, you have flexible options:

  1. Purchase the solar equipment. It’s usually only a few thousand dollars and a smart choice, as your solar equipment should produce electricity for 25 years or more.
  2. Renew the agreement, and continue purchasing solar power from SunRun at a rate lower than you would pay to your utility.
  3. Remove the home solar system. At no cost to you, we’ll remove all the solar equipment from your home.
     
What if I move before the end of my SunRun customer agreement?

SunRun’s customer agreements are designed to be flexible so that you can move at anytime. 

Most SunRun home solar customers who move choose to transfer the agreement to the new homeowner. In this case, the new homeowner will take over the SunRun agreement and pay the same low rate for home solar power. In most cases, new buyers see lower electricity rates, system maintenance, and monitoring as advantages, and it can help you get a higher selling price for your home.

You may also choose to purchase the home solar equipment from SunRun, and sell it with your home.
