- Go Solar. I have always been interested in going solar. It’s such a great way to get the energy you need and also be kind to the earth. I have always had lots of questions about it and a company called Sunrun had some answers for me.
- Is Solar more cost effective than traditional electric? Electricity from Sunrun is more affordable than electricity from your utility. They you control over your electricity costs and protects you against unpredictable electricity rate increases.
- Am responsible for repaired on the solar panels? Sunrun will install, insure, and monitors and maintain your solar system. All you do is pay a low, locked-in rate for the electricity from the Solar Panels.
- How do I know it’s working right? Sunrun monitors your solar system’s production remotely, so you don’t need to worry.
