Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Sunrun solar system cost?
Sunrun offers multiple financing options including /bin/zsh-down solar leases and PPAs where you pay only for the energy produced. For purchased systems, costs vary based on system size and location but typically range from ,000 to ,000 before the federal tax credit. Sunrun provides free customized quotes for your specific home.
Does Sunrun handle all maintenance and repairs?
Yes, for lease and PPA customers, Sunrun handles all maintenance, repairs, and system monitoring for the entire 25-year agreement at no additional cost. This includes panel cleaning, inverter replacement, and any necessary roof repairs related to the installation.
What is Sunrun Brightbox?
Brightbox is Sunrun's home battery storage service that pairs solar panels with a battery system (typically Tesla Powerwall or LG). It stores excess solar energy for use during evenings, power outages, or peak electricity rate periods, providing energy independence and backup power.
How long does Sunrun installation take?
The typical timeline from signing to system activation is 2 to 6 months, depending on your location, local permitting requirements, and utility interconnection timelines. The physical installation usually takes 1 to 3 days.
Can I buy my Sunrun leased system?
Yes, Sunrun lease and PPA customers have the option to purchase their system at fair market value at various points during their agreement. Specific buyout terms are outlined in your contract.
What happens if I sell my home with Sunrun panels?
You have several options: transfer the solar agreement to the new homeowner (most common and free), buy out the remaining lease and include it in the home sale price, or have Sunrun remove the system. Homes with solar typically sell faster and at a premium.
Does Sunrun offer a production guarantee?
Yes, Sunrun guarantees a minimum level of energy production for lease and PPA customers. If your system produces less than the guaranteed amount, Sunrun will credit you for the difference.
