Going solar is the right thing to do; it allows you to save money and protects the environment in the long run. That’s why we have taken it upon ourselves to ensure that nothing stands in the way of your home’s solar energy savings potential. It's 2017, buying solar panels doesn't have to be difficult.

The Real Cost of Buying Solar Panels for My Home

Did you know the price of buying solar panels has become cheaper and cheaper every year1? Advancements in solar technology has dropped the cost of going solar dramatically. When President Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House in 1977, solar costs an average of $76 per watt.2 Now, solar only costs an average of $0.61 per watt. The price is right and Sunrun has the best options to fit your budget.3 There are also state and federal funding programs that can help you finance your new solar system.
