Solar power can potentially save homeowners significant amounts of money on electricity every year.  However, installing solar panels into a home can be extremely costly.  It also requires significant amounts of time and effort many working people simply don’t have.  Cool product Sunrun is a service that makes these issues irrelevant by repackaging solar power as a cheap, fixed-rate service to consumers.  Rather than having to purchase solar panels for a high price and install the technology themselves, consumers who sign up for Sunrun receive free panels and installation in return for signing a contract that requires a monthly fee. Sunrun says on their site that they offer locked-in rates for twenty years, so a customer’s electric bill remains static over long periods of time.  Sunrun proposes that it can still save homeowners money with its solar power as a service model, while offering lower fixed rates compared to traditional electricity’s unstable month-to-month prices.  With Sunrun’s fixed monthly fees, consumers shouldn’t have to worry about electricity-hogging activity like air conditioning or keeping the computer on for long periods during remote computer support sessions.

While Sunrun offers its service to areas across the country, the website does warn that not every area and home is ideal for solar power.  Sunrun provides diagnostic tools on their website to help potential customers find out if solar is a viable option for them. Based on the build and location of your home, Sunrun’s website tools determine if switching to solar power is possible for a customer.  Sunrun also provides individual quotes, as even when they can install solar power in a home, the costs vary from region to region.  The ability to pre-screen a customer’s home for solar power compatibility is key.  No customer wants their power dying in the middle of an important computer update because something is wrong with their solar electricity.  Then, not only is the customer in the dark (literally) due to lost power, but there’s a chance they’ve bricked their computers as well, making computer repair an added cost.

Currently, Sunrun is available as a service in most northeastern states and along the west coast. Sunrun warns on their site that their service is best for homeowners in a stable situation, not for those who move frequently.  However, for customers that do move, Sunrun provides services to help transition the account to the next homeowner.
