FAQs
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.
However, for many homeowners an outright solar investment is not the right lifestyle fit or financial decision. The Sunrun Solar Subscription solves for this by still providing customers with potential savings without the initial cost and personal responsibility of solar energy system ownership.

In Austin, the cost of having battery storage and solar installed 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 backup and the energy your panels produce—replacing part of your utility bill.
If you choose to purchase your home solar system, solar installation 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 solar cost breakdown, check out this blog article. However, the best way to understand the cost to install solar panels and battery storage for your home is to meet with one of our local Austin solar energy consultants. A Sunrun representative will assess your home and energy usage and provide you with a free, custom quote.
With a home powered by solar and battery storage, you can experience energy independence by generating your own power at a fixed rate, with the ability to keep producing and using electricity when the grid goes down. A home battery paired with your solar panel system provides a level of peace of mind and energy efficiency that can’t be beat. Here are a few benefits of having battery storage in addition to solar panels.
Power through outages. Your solar panels are designed to shut down when the grid goes down. A battery, however, stores extra energy to keep your home powered during an outage, even recharging from the sun if the grid is down for days.
Use your solar power, day and night. A battery lets you store the abundant power your panels create during the day and use it whenever you want—even at night. This increases your independence from the grid and can lead to more predictable bills.
Maximize your potential savings. In many areas, utilities charge more for electricity during peak hours. A battery lets you use your stored solar power during these expensive times, instead of pulling from the grid.
SPAN is a smart electrical panel that acts as your home’s energy command center. Here are a few key benefits that make a SPAN panel a smart decision:
Circuit-level control and visibility
With the SPAN panel you can see how much energy each circuit is using in real time, allowing you to optimize your energy consumption and potentially save on utility bills. By using the SPAN app you can make changes anywhere you’re at with just the tap of your finger.
Control your battery back-up experience
While you can control your battery loads in your Sunrun and battery manufacturer’s app, SPAN allows you to extend your battery life in an outage by having precise control over what is being backed-up and when with their necessary, nice to have, and non-essential categorizations.
