So you are seriously considering installing solar panels in your home. Solar energy systems offer numerous advantages because they are cost-effective and qualify for tax breaks. Not only does solar energy save money, but you and your family can become leaders in your community, working towards a greener environment. However, you must exercise due diligence when choosing a reputable solar company.

Surun understands that opening your electric bill these days can be a shocking experience. That’s why we offer plenty of solar financing options and packages that best fit your budget and allow you to go solar for little zero down.

The power of solar energy system options

There’s nothing more valuable than having options. Remember that you are in control, so take your time to evaluate the information you receive from solar installation companies.

The calculation simply divides the installation price (cost of the solar equipment, labor, and permitting) by the DC wattage and there you have it: the price per watt. Ask that each solar energy company you’re considering is transparent and provides as much information during your home solar quote as possible. 

Sunrun is a solar company that prides itself on working with households to review your current energy usage and tailor the most optimal home solar panel system for your specific energy needs.

Reputation and established track record of solar companies

Consider only a reputable solar installer who has specific experience in the solar installation process. A solar company that is unable or unwilling to show you systems they’ve installed for previous clients or the number and size of systems similar to yours should be avoided.

Make sure to check customer reviews of solar companies, but bear in mind that there is always someone who leaves a negative comment or two. What is important is to sense a trend and, more importantly, note what the company did to reverse a negative experience.

This information says a lot about a company’s level of integrity and commitment to customer satisfaction. Sunrun is often considered one of the best solar companies, with thousands of happy customers. But don’t take our word for it. See what our customers are saying about us.

After-care customer service

What happens after contracting for solar panel installation and the anticipation of savings fades? You need to ask about the service provided after installation—it’s important.

Workmanship warranties. Does the company provide insurance against roof damage during installation? They should, but keep in mind that the workmanship warranty refers specifically to labor, design, and construction, not the manufacturer warranty, which covers equipment like solar panels and inverters. 

Sunrun works hard to not damage any part of your home during your solar installation, but if something were to happen, we’ve got you covered.

Sunrun offers a solid workmanship warranty, including coverage for broken panels or panels that stop working. We provide world-class support that covers not only the installation but also the upkeep from start to finish. Additionally, Sunrun includes extensive maintenance and performance guarantees*, with details about specific warranty services for our solar lease and PPA options.

How to choose a solar company with financing options

Many states offer incentives to families converting to solar power, and some states even have special financing programs. However, financing or leasing your solar system through your solar installation company may be the way for you to go.

Sunrun offers a prepaid plan that lets you pay upfront for your system, in addition to a solar loan, lease, or solar power-purchase agreement (PPA). A lease or solar PPA can require little to $0 down and allows you to schedule monthly payments over a fixed amount of time, which is often the best way to go solar.

Why would you want to own the system along with the associated maintenance and repairs when you can take advantage of the benefits of solar installers without the ongoing hassle? It’s all about finding the best solar installer for your needs.
