FAQs
Sunrun stands out among solar companies in Irvine, California by providing reliable solar installation and maintenance homeowners can trust. Unlike many solar companies out there, Sunrun is here to stay. As the pioneer of the solar subscription, we boast the longest track record in the industry and support over 1 million customers. Backed by our position as the largest residential solar and storage provider in the U.S., Sunrun combines national reach with a local touch.
While we are a national solar company, in Irvine we have local teams who are expert battery and solar installers. At the national level we are able to provide 24/7 monitoring for solar panels and battery backup on all Sunrun Solar Subscription customer homes and if you need to sell your home, we easily transfer systems to new buyers to start them on their own solar energy journeys. With Sunrun you’ll experience an unmatched combination of expertise, customer service, and product warranty and performance guarantees.
For those seeking to own residential solar energy systems, the 30% Residential Clean Energy federal solar tax credit may help offset the large upfront investment. This federal tax credit will no longer be available for systems installed after 2025.
For many homeowners, an outright solar investment is not the right lifestyle fit or financial decision. The Sunrun Solar Subscription solves for this by potentially providing customers with long term savings without the initial expenses and personal responsibility of solar energy system ownership.
Solar panels and battery backup are a smart decision for most Irvine homeowners. With a system from Sunrun, you get reliable power from the panels on your roof, so you can take control of your energy bills and finally beat those unpredictable utility rate hikes. A battery adds even more peace of mind. It keeps your lights on and essential appliances running during a power outage or blackout, and it lets you power your home at night with your own solar energy, avoiding expensive peak-rate charges. Energy independence starts with solar and battery backup.
In Irvine, the cost of solar installation itself can be as little as $0 down for qualifying homeowners. Just like you don’t pay a utility company to install power lines, with the Sunrun Solar Subscription, Sunrun solar installers set up your home solar system at little to no upfront cost. You then pay a fixed monthly rate for battery storage and the energy your panels produce over 25 years—replacing part of your utility bill.
If you choose to purchase your home solar system, solar installer costs will depend on various factors, including the number of panels being installed, what additional equipment you select–such as a backup battery, and any applicable solar incentives you may be eligible for and can utilize. If you want a detailed cost breakdown, check out this blog article. However, the best way to understand solar costs for your situation is to meet with one of our local Irvine solar energy consultants. A Sunrun representative will assess your home and energy usage and provide you with a customized quote.
Sunrun Flex is our newest product, providing you with a totally new way to power your home.

The best part is you receive all these benefits and only pay for the energy you use at a predictable Sunrun rate.*
