FAQs
Which Petaluma solar company should I choose?
Sunrun stands out among solar companies in Petaluma, CA by providing reliable solar installation and maintenance homeowners can trust. Unlike many solar companies out there, Sunrun is here to stay.

What does a solar installation cost in Petaluma?
In Petaluma, the cost of a solar panel installation 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 installs solar and battery storage at little to no upfront cost, and you pay a low, fixed monthly rate for the energy those panels produce over 25 years—replacing part of your utility bill.
If you choose to purchase your home solar system, solar installation costs will depend on which tax credits you qualify for, the number of panels being installed and what additional equipment you select–such as a backup battery. The best way to understand solar costs is to meet with one of our local Petaluma energy consultants. A Sunrun representative will assess your home and energy usage and provide you with a customized quote.
Are the federal solar tax credit and other incentives still available?
For those seeking to own residential solar panel systems, the 30% Residential Clean Energy federal solar tax credit helps reduce the large upfront investment. This federal tax credit will no longer be available for solar installations after 2025.
However, sustainable energy federal tax credits aren’t the only way to experience potential savings with solar and battery storage. With a Sunrun Solar Subscription Plan you can get solar for as little as $0 down and lock-in predictable solar bills for years to come. Not only that, but you can enjoy all the benefits of solar panels and battery storage without the costs of ownership. Maintenance, repairs, and monitoring is all covered by Sunrun.
What are the benefits of solar + storage in Petaluma?
For homeowners in Sonoma County, a solar energy system is most beneficial when you add battery storage. Think of it as a way to create your own personal electricity reserve. Your solar panels work hard to generate solar energy during the day, and a battery stores any extra solar power for later use. This is especially helpful for keeping the lights on during unexpected outages, avoiding peak-rate hours, and using solar power long after the sun goes down.
This is how you get true energy independence in Petaluma. A solar battery keeps your home comfortable and your belongings secure when the grid goes down. Plus, with a predictable rate from Sunrun, you can finally take control of your electric bill. Using cutting-edge technology from brands like Tesla, FranklinWH, and Lunar, you can adjust your battery settings with a simple tap on an app, giving you the freedom to power life on your terms. It's a smart, modern home that doesn't just use energy—it makes it.
