Cost Savings

Perhaps the biggest benefit for homeowners is the cost savings. Solar panels typically pay for themselves in about 10 years or so when you combine utility bill savings, incentives, payments from utility companies for extra power and tax rebates. Because the solar industry is very competitive, costs continue to come down for traditional silicon-based panels. Even better, you can save money on your electric bill all while helping save the planet. 

Saving the Environment

Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and gasoline, add a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This can worsen global warming. According to Energy Informative, solar benefits the environment by reducing your carbon footprint by approximately 100,000 pounds over the life of the panels. So by going solar with Sunrun you can give yourself the gift of lower electric bills and cleaner skies.
