Learn About Sunrun’s Relationship with Your Electric Company in California
We work with several electric companies in California to bring you clean, reliable energy day after day. And we offer both solar purchase and PPA/lease options to most major California electric companies, including PG&E, SCE, SDG&E and LADWP. If you get your electricity from a different electric company than the ones below, we may offer a purchase option only. Please contact us if you want to discuss your available solar options.
Going Solar and Staying Connected
When you go solar with Sunrun in California, you stay connected to the electric grid.1 This allows you to make the most of the electricity your solar panels produce by net metering your solar power. And if your home solar system generates more energy than you need, the excess goes back to the grid, and you can receive a credit to reduce your future electric bills.
We’re Here to Guide You to Solar Success
At Sunrun, we believe empowering people means empowering a cleaner, safer, and more resilient future for everyone. But our role in California isn’t just to help you control your electric bill, combat extreme weather, and potentially save you thousands of dollars in energy costs.*
We’re also committed to providing you with information, guides, and advice in all things solar to help you understand your electric company’s NEM bill, Time-of-Use (TOU) rates, sustainable initiatives; as well as any other topics you want to know of as a California solar consumer — so together, we can change the way we power our lives.
