California is the best state in the U.S. for solar.³

The Golden State gets plenty of sunshine year-round, so it’s no surprise that more California homeowners are choosing to go solar. With the cost of solar panels⁴ and home batteries rapidly decreasing,⁵ now is a great time to create and store your own solar power at home with a California solar company like Sunrun. Making the switch to solar will protect your home from outages, increase your control over electric bills, and reduce your carbon footprint.
