however, with sunrun, homeowners can buy solar electricity, instead of the system, not only reducing their carbon footprint by using renewable energy, but also saving money on their bills by avoiding utility rate hikes. sunrun takes care of everything so the homeowner doesn’t have to worry about installation, permitting, rebates, monitoring, insurance, etc. by making solar affordable, sunrun gives homeowners a choice – a choice as to where their power comes from and how much it costs.
]]>however, solar systems traditionally cost anywhere between $20,000-$45,000, and that can make it too expensive for most people to purchase systems for their homes. but, instead of purchasing a system, homeowners can now purchase solar electricity! sunrun created the first residential solar ppa (power purchase agreement) in 2007 that offers solar power as a service.
now, you can cut miles of transmission lines and avoid consequences of dirty coal and bring the solution right to your rooftop, literally.
