During the past decade, more than 22.2 million California households endured almost 4,300 power outages.1 In addition, residential electricity rates in Woodland are more than 30% greater compared to cities in other states.2
Still, your energy future looks bright. U.S. solar project costs keep falling3 and Woodland has an average of 269 sunny days a year.4 So going solar with a solar company in Woodland like Sunrun is a smart and affordable way to gain energy freedom and effectively protect your home from outages.
As the nation’s largest residential solar, storage and energy services company,5 Sunrun offers several home solar and battery plans to help you take control of your electric bills, get outage protection and reduce your carbon emissions.
Also, Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) net energy metering program allows you to earn credits for the electricity you add to the grid,6 which may increase the control of your home energy.
For over a decade, hundreds of thousands of Americans have chosen Sunrun to change the way they power their lives. To date, Sunrun customers’ systems have produced billions of kilowatt-hours of clean, renewable and affordable energy.7

Solar Savings Types | Value of Savings |
---|---|
Federal Solar Tax Credit | 26% 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.
With climate change making power outages and related wildfires more common, and California electric companies like PG&E conducting Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) to keep communities safe, staying calm under these scenarios can be challenging.
