You have a choice when it comes to solar providers—actually, a lot of choices. With everybody competing for your business, your ability to compare solar energy companies effectively is critical.

Since you’ll be working with your provider for the life of your solar panel system, you’ll want to choose an established solar company you can count on for the long haul.

As you can see, most companies offer the bare minimum for what you need to put up solar panel systems, while extra benefits like warranties, maintenance, and repairs can come at an extra cost.

Why Sunrun is the smart choice for solar panels

Here at Sunrun, we take all the guesswork out of solar installation so that you don’t have to worry about the fine print or hidden fees. Whether you're looking for a reliable solar installer or considering adding a solar battery for energy storage, Sunrun has you covered.

Here are some other key things to look for in a home solar company:

• A high volume of positive ratings and a great track record of service before, during and after installation.

• A solar panel company should take care of the paperwork, inspections, and working with the city.

• Flexible payment options, including solar leases and PPAs.

• Lifetime maintenance on your solar panels should be included, not an add-on.

• An honest provider won’t sell you solar if it can’t save you money—insist on a performance guarantee.

• Choose a provider with the most residential experience and one that uses top solar panel brands like monocrystalline solar panels. 

We’ll just make this easy for you and tell you that yes, our products include these services, and then some.
