Lower Electricity Rates With Solar

Installing solar panel system and a home battery in Fresno enables you to generate your own energy and control utility bills. Local households pay almost 32% higher electricity costs than other states.⁴ Reducing household energy costs is driving residential solar in Fresno as thousands of homeowners convert to affordable, renewable solar.²

In 2019, the cost of an average 5-kilowatt installation in Fresno was $15,500. After federal, state and other incentives, your net price could be thousands less. Fresno residents can typically anticipate a payback period of 5.85 years plus a 20-year savings of $64,953. The average cost per watt is $3.10.⁵ Lock-in long-term, low electricity rates with a Sunrun solar energy system.

California Solar Incentives, Rebates, & Tax Credits

Solar Savings Types	Value of Savings
Federal Solar Tax Credit	30% of the final cost of the solar system
Other Programs	Variable (Net metering)
Local utility solar rebates	$0.20 to $1.25 per watt

_{**Customer’s ability to monetize rebates, incentives and tax credits depends on several factors, including, without limitation, continued state subsidization of these policies, the applicable Sunrun product type, and whether a customer purchases or leases a solar system from Sunrun.}

Get a Brightbox Home Battery for Backup Power & Time-of-Use Savings

Solar can power homes through unpredictable blackouts due to weather extremes. While Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) is implementing preemptive rolling blackouts to reduce wildfire risks,⁶ the utility may disrupt power to millions of customers and last for days.⁷

Sunrun knows there’s a better way. Our solar panels⁸ and Brightbox⁹ home battery powers your home during blackouts and at night. It provides clean backup energy for approximately 8 to 12 hours and refuels every day with the sun. Also, with a Fresno home battery storage system, you aren’t hit with high time-of-use (TOU) rates.¹⁰ The battery stores free energy for later use when electric company rates are high.

Incentives Reduce Your Investment Cost

Fresno residents may be eligible for the state’s Single-family Affordable Solar Homes Program (SASH), which has been extended to 2021. It provides up-front rebates to help low-income homeowners go solar.¹¹

The state’s Net Energy Metering (NEM) program is a driving force in the city’s solar revolution. In 2019, more than 23,300 Fresno homes participated.² California’s NEM¹² policy allows homeowners credits toward their energy bill, regardless if you lease, purchase or finance your solar energy system.¹³ PG&E is required to provide net metering to all their Fresno solar customers.¹⁴

Fresno residential solar installations are also eligible for the federal solar  tax credit.¹⁵ In 2019, the tax credit is 30%. It drops to 26% in 2020.* Sunrun is the best solar company in Fresno for cashing in on available incentives. For more information, check out DSIRE.¹⁶
