Did you know that the U.S. power grid is working overtime and struggling to keep up with our increasing electricity demands?4 Fortunately, the costs of rooftop solar panels have plummeted.1 It could be incredibly cost-effective if you team up with a Wisconsin solar company like Sunrun to create your own electricity at home. A switch to solar can boost your control over electricity bills and reduce your carbon footprint for decades. This will also help build a modern and more resilient energy system that runs on clean power made in Wisconsin.
