Purchase Solar Panels from Sunrun

With Brightbuy, you’ll be able to purchase a full solar system through Sunrun. When you buy your own system, you will directly receive the federal and state  solar incentives, tax credits and rebates for which you are qualified.

Leasing and buying solar panels come with their own unique advantages.

Going solar can be costly. That’s why Sunrun offers stress-free solar leasing so you can go solar for as little as $0 down. You’ll only be responsible for paying a low monthly bill or pay the lease upfront, locking in long-term savings. Because Sunrun owns the system, we’ll also provide top-notch monitoring and maintenance during the length of your agreement, free of charge. That means clean, worry-free energy that’s guaranteed to save you money. And if it breaks, we’ll fix it!

Sunrun also gives you the option to buy your solar panels. When you own your solar system, you own your savings. That means solar incentives like state solar rebates, net metering and the federal solar tax credit will go directly to you. You could also recoup the cost of your investment thanks to the value it adds to your home.^* However, you’ll be responsible for any repairs and maintenance your solar system needs outside the scope of your solar system’s warranty.

Figuring out if your home is good for solar relies on a number of factors like your utility, where your house is located, the angle of your roof, and how old it is.

Rather than getting deep into the weeds with these details, get in touch with one of our Solar Advisors. They’ll determine if your home is a good fit for solar with the help of our proprietary solar design technology, BrightPath™. We’ll only recommend solar if it guarantees to fit your home’s energy needs.

Every household requires a different number of panels based on how much energy your family uses, your climate, and how much direct sunlight hits your roof (to read up more on these factors, click here).

During your free consultation, we’ll figure out how much power a solar system will need to produce in order to power your home.

Studies have shown that owning solar panels can significantly increase your property value.^* Solar homes in California sell for $20,000 more on average, while solar homes in other states sold for about $15,000 more. With numbers like that, you can likely recoup the cost of your solar system when you sell your home. Not only will you enjoy clean, reliable energy—you’ll sleep easy knowing you made a smart investment.

Solar panels are known to increase property values by up to $20,000 on average*. However, most states offer Property Tax Exemptions on solar systems. That means you won’t have to pay extra for the value your solar system adds to your home, and when you decide to sell it you may even be able to recoup the cost of your solar system. Going solar is just the gift that keeps on giving.

Once you’re approved for a solar installation, your home will undergo a site assessment and an expert solar technician will visit your home to confirm your system design.

After that, our Solar Design Experts will make any necessary adjustments to your design and get your final approval. Once it’s approved, we’ll submit your design to the city for permitting, which can take up to eight weeks. From there, either Sunrun or one of our local certified partners will  perform your solar installation. We only partner with the top-rated solar installers , so you can rest assured knowing you’ll have the highest quality solar installation available.

When your installation is finished, the city or county will perform a final inspection on your system. Once it’s approved, it’ll be connected to the grid and we’ll submit your documents to the utility company. After your utility company grants Permission to Operate, you’re ready to start powering your home with the sun.

Solar panels can last anywhere between 25 to 30 years, sometimes more.* But this doesn’t mean the panels on your roof will stop producing electricity after a couple of decades. It just means their energy production will decrease by what solar panel manufacturers consider optimal to meet the average American family’s energy needs. With the proper care and maintenance, you can expect to receive significant solar savings in the next 20 to 30 years.  

When you choose to lease your solar system through Sunrun, you’ll also get a comprehensive solar panel service guarantee that’ll keep your system in top shape for years to come. Talk to our Solar Advisors to explore all of our flexible financing options.

Depending on the state, a solar system can cost anywhere from under $15,000 to $29,000 for system sizes ranging for 4kW to 8kW.* The more power your household uses, the more solar panels you’ll need, which will add to the cost of your solar system.

Sound like a lot? The upfront cost of a solar system doesn’t have to keep you from going solar. Get in touch with one of our Solar Advisors to see how you can go solar for as low as $0 with our flexible financing options.
