SunRun Helps Homeowners Go Solar With New, Flexible Plans

SunRun has announced two new flexible payment options that will make residential solar more accessible to homeowners. SunRun offers a simple and affordable alternative to purchasing or renting a home solar system.

All SunRun customers receive comprehensive maintenance, repairs and insurance through its Full System Management offerings, which remove the complexity and risk of going solar.

With the introduction of the SunRun Power Plan and SunRun Total Solar, SunRun gives its customers additional flexibility on how they can pay for their solar service with the new SunRun Power Plan opening up SunRun's trusted solar service to more homeowners through a low upfront payment option.

Both SunRun Power Plan and SunRun Total Solar offer immediate savings on monthly electricity bills.

SunRun Power Plan: This plan offers customers who may have ruled out home solar due to high upfront costs new access: homeowners can pay as little as $2,000 upfront for solar service, with financing options available. Following the initial payment, the homeowner enjoys a fixed, low rate for his/her solar electricity.

SunRun Total Solar: This plan allows customers to pay for their solar electricity entirely upfront. Homeowners often choose this option over purchasing a system because they don't want to deal with the hassles of ownership and maintenance. SunRun Total Solar also allows customers to get the value of the Federal Incentive Tax Credit (ITC) immediately, rather than waiting up to twelve months or more to receive it.

"When my wife and I first looked into going solar, the original bid we received was far too much for what we were looking to spend at the time," said Chris Jordan, Camarillo resident and SunRun customer.

"When we were approached by a SunRun sales representative shortly thereafter, he showed us an affordable new service option that we couldn't refuse. Before we got our SunRun Power Plan we paid an average of $300 a month for electricity from SCE.

"Last month our SunRun bill was $74.98 and our SCE electricity bill was $1.10. The savings speak for themselves, and we never have to worry about our solar panels because SunRun takes care of everything."

"Our new flexible payment options are in line with SunRun's longstanding approach to providing homeowners long-term, affordable and hassle-free solar," said Nat Kreamer, president and co-founder of SunRun.

"Going solar is part of a thoughtful and considerate process, and we have found that SunRun's customers are responsible homeowners who want to reduce electricity costs without making any significant lifestyle changes.

"We're making home solar accessible to everyone who wants to reduce their energy costs and make a smart and reliable investment, regardless of how much they can pay upfront."
