How does the solar installation process work with Sunrun?
Our solar installation process is designed to be as smooth and efficient as possible. From the initial consultation to the final system activation, our team of experts will guide you every step of the way. We handle all necessary permits and inspections, ensuring your system meets local regulations and is optimized for maximum performance.
Once approved for a solar installation, your property will undergo a site assessment, and an expert technician will schedule a visit with you to confirm the design of your solar panels and full solar energy system.
After that, our Solar Design Experts will make any necessary adjustments to the design of your solar panels 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 install your solar panels. We only partner with top-rated solar installers, so you can rest easy knowing you’ll have the highest quality solar installation available.
When your installation is finished, the city or county will perform a final inspection of 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 (PTO), you’ll be all set to start powering your home with the sun.
What financing options does Sunrun offer?
We believe in making solar energy accessible to everyone. We offer a range of flexible financing options, including solar leases, power purchase agreements (PPAs), loans, and outright purchase, to fit different budgets and preferences. Our solar consultants will help you choose the best option for your financial goals.
