How Does Sunrun Compare To Other Solar Companies

You have a choice when it comes to solar providers. Actually, a lot of choices. With everybody competing for your business, your ability to compare solar companies effectively is critical. And since you’ll be working with your provider for the life of your system, you’ll want to choose an established one you can count on for the long haul.

Here’s a quick breakdown of how we compare with other U.S. solar companies:

  Industry Standard
Guarantees Production? Yes No
Roof Warranty 10 years, regardless of whether your roof has a warranty.

10 years, regardless of whether your roof has a warranty.
Free overproduction? Yes No
Free Monitoring? (Provided wireless signal vs. customer owned internet) Yes No
Exclusive focus on residential solar? Yes No

As you can see, most solar companies offer the bare minimum for what you need to put up a home solar system, while extra benefits like warranties, maintenance, and repairs can come at an extra cost. Here at Sunrun, we take all the guesswork out of going solar so that you don’t have to worry about the fine print or hidden fees.

Here are some other key things to look for in a home solar company:

  • A high volume of positive ratings and a great track record of service before, during and after installation.
  • Solar companies that take care of the paperwork, inspections, and working with the city.
  • Flexible payment options including solar leases and PPAs.
  • Lifetime maintenance on your system should be included, not an add-on.
  • An honest provider won’t sell you solar if it can’t save you money—insist on a performance guarantee.
  • Choose a provider with the most residential experience.
