Considering going solar in Riverside?
Thinking about making the switch to solar in the Inland Empire? As a resident of Southern California, you're probably all too familiar with high electric bills and the ever-present concern of power outages. Riverside is no stranger to grid instability and a strained energy infrastructure. With a home solar system, you can reduce your reliance on the grid and take control of your energy future.
Solar panels are just the beginning. By adding a solar battery, you can store energy from the sun and use it whenever you want. A battery provides essential backup power during a grid outage, which can be caused by a variety of reasons, including severe weather or high demand. With a battery, you can power essential appliances and enjoy a greater sense of security. This extra layer of resilience is particularly valuable in Southern California, where power outages can disrupt everything from air conditioning to home security systems.
When it comes to your solar panel installation, you need a partner you can trust. Sunrun provides an effortless experience from start to finish, guiding you through the process and handling all the details. We're the #1 home solar and battery company in the nation and have been providing solutions for nearly two decades. A solar and battery system is a long-term investment, and we'll be there to support you with our comprehensive guarantee for years to come.

FAQs
Out of all the solar companies Riverside offers, why should I choose Sunrun?
Sunrun stands out among solar companies in Riverside, CA 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 Riverside we have local teams who are expert battery and solar installers. At the national level we are able to provide 24/7 system monitoring for all Sunrun Solar Subscription customers 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.
What solar incentives are available in Riverside, CA?
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. No California solar incentives required!
How much will my home solar system cost?
In Riverside, 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 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 Riverside solar energy consultants. A Sunrun representative will assess your home and energy usage and provide you with a customized quote.
What are the benefits of a solar powered home?
Solar and battery storage is the right decision for most Riverside homeowners. You get abundant, reliable energy generated by the solar panels on your roof, empowering you to control your energy costs. No matter which financial plan you choose, going solar means predictable electric bills for years to come, freeing you from the stress of unpredictable rate hikes. Plus, installing solar panels and battery storage gives you reliable independence from the grid. During brownouts or blackouts, you can keep your lights on, thanks to your backup battery, which allows your solar panel system to continue providing power. But the benefits don't stop there. Battery storage lets you use your extra solar energy whenever you want, avoiding those peak-rate charges and keeping your utility bills down.
