[H2] FAQs
[H3] How long do solar panels really last?
Solar panels can last anywhere between 25 to 30 years, sometimes more. This doesn’t mean that 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 household's energy needs. With proper care and maintenance, you can expect to receive significant solar benefits for the next 20 to 30 years.

[H2] FAQs: Solar Plans
[H3] Which solar plan is best for my home?
The best solar plan depends on your energy usage, budget, and long-term goals. Some homeowners prefer predictable monthly payments with little to no upfront cost, like what's offered in the Sunrun Subscription Plan. Others choose to purchase a system for long-term ownership. Other important considerations include whether you want battery storage for backup power and how your energy needs may change over time. A good solar provider will help match you with a plan that fits your home today while allowing flexibility for the future.
[H3] What’s the difference between buying solar and a solar subscription?
Buying solar means you own the system and are responsible for upfront costs, maintenance, and performance. A solar subscription allows you to go solar with little to no upfront cost while the provider handles installation, monitoring, maintenance, and repairs. Subscription plans typically offer predictable monthly payments and ongoing support, making solar simpler and more accessible for many homeowners.
[H3] What happens if my solar system needs repairs or support?
With a full-service solar plan, the provider typically monitors your system and handles maintenance and repairs as needed. This can include diagnosing performance issues, servicing equipment, and ensuring your system continues to operate efficiently over time. Having ongoing support is important so you’re not left managing issues on your own.

[H1] Frequently Asked Questions
You've got questions, we've got answers.Talk to an expert at (833) 324-5886
[H1] Understanding solar + storage
[H3] How does solar work?
A home solar system works through the combination of the six following elements: 1. Solar Panels: Solar panels convert sunlight into direct current electricity (DC).2. Inverter: The inverter converts energy into alternating current electricity (AC), which is what your appliances and devices use.3. Electrical Panel (already at your home): Your electrical panel distributes AC electricity to your entire home.4. Sunrun Meter: Solar production and usage are measured and monitored by your Sunrun meter so we can make sure your system is producing as much energy as possible.5. Battery: When solar energy is generated and not immediately used, it can be stored in a solar battery for evening use or during outages. 6. Utility Meter (already at your home): When the sun is shining, you may get all of your energy from solar, but due to things like weather, winter, and nighttime, you may still have to buy some energy the old-fashioned way. Whenever you send any extra solar energy to the grid, this meter will run “backwards” logging how much energy you exported.
[H3] Why should I consider solar and battery storage for my home?
The sun rises every day providing abundant energy that often goes uncaptured. With a home solar and battery system you can generate energy right from your roof that can power your home during the day, be stored in a battery for use at night or in outages, and reduce your reliance on the utility grid. Unlike those from your utility, Sunrun customers pay predictable, affordable rates for the lifetime of their contracts. This set up provides peace of mind for your home expense and energy security for the unexpected storms and outages you may experience. With home solar, you get to control your energy future with the power of the sun.
[H3] How many solar panels will my home need?
Every household is different. When determining the number of solar panels your home needs, consider the following questions:How much power do I need? Check your electric bills to see how many kilowatt hours (kWhs) you use throughout the year. Also consider if your energy needs are going to change in the future due to a growing family, appliance upgrades, purchasing an EV, etc. We’ll go over this with you in detail during your complimentary solar consultation to figure out just how much power your panels will need to produce.What’s your climate like? The number of panels you need depends on how many sunny days you get and how much sun reaches the ground where you live. We can determine how much energy each panel will produce in a year based on your geographical location and home orientation.How much direct sun hits your roof? Shading, which direction your roof faces, and any aesthetic preferences you have can impact how big your system needs to be.At Sunrun, we have proprietary solar design technology to help us create a customized system that maximizes energy production by taking into account all the factors mentioned above.
[H3] Is my home good for a solar energy system?
A lot of things affect how well-suited your home is for solar and battery storage, including your home’s geographic location, the angle of your roof, how much shade it gets throughout the day, and how old your home is.Sunrun consultants can help you determine if your home is a good fit for solar and battery backup at the moment. They’ll run a custom analysis of your home based on your previous energy usage, your future energy needs, and taking into account all the physical elements that affect how much sun your roof receives through the seasons. Call (833) 324-5886 today for a free, no obligation consultation.
[H3] Why do you need my historical electricity usage?
Your historical electricity usage allows us to design a custom solar system that is the right size for your home.Electricity usage varies from person to person and from season to season. That’s why we request a full year of your electricity bills so we can build a system that’s right for you.Your sales consultant is trained to review a year’s worth of usage data so we can get the full picture. Energy usage can change with the seasons so we look at 12 months of data to best understand your home’s usage patterns and needs.View More
[H1] Financing options
[H3] Is it better to lease or buy solar panels?
Leasing and buying solar panels come with their own unique advantages.Purchasing solar generally requires upfront investment which can make it cost-prohibitive for many. That’s why Sunrun offers stress-free solar leasing so you can switch to solar for as little as $0 down. When you lease solar panels or pay for power through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), you are only responsible for a locked-in monthly payment. Since Sunrun owns the system when it is leased, we’ll also provide top-notch monitoring and maintenance during the length of your agreement, all included. That means abundant, worry-free energy. And if anything breaks, we’ll fix it.We also know that some people want to own their equipment which is why Sunrun also gives you the option to buy your solar panels. When you own your solar system, you own your production and all the benefits that come with solar investment. That means any available solar incentives like state solar rebates will go directly to you. However, you’ll be responsible for any repairs and maintenance your solar system needs outside the scope of your solar system’s warranty.To learn more about which solar plan is right for you, get connected with a Sunrun Consultant today at (833) 324-5886.
[H3] What's a solar lease or PPA?
Knowing there had to be a more affordable way to bring solar energy to the people, we pioneered solar leasing and power purchase agreements, or PPAs. So instead of purchasing a system outright, we offer additional options that require little to zero upfront costs.The difference between a solar lease and solar PPA is simple: With a lease, you pay a fixed monthly “rent” in return for use of the system. With a PPA you pay a fixed price per kWh for power generated. We’ll help you determine which option is available for you based on where you live. So now that you know what a solar lease and PPA is, you’re probably wondering why it might not make sense to buy a home solar system outright. Here are a few reasons why:Get started for as little as $0 down: Skip the hassle of ownership. Sunrun will handle installation, maintenance, monitoring, and insurance for the life of the agreement.Rain or shine, we guarantee solar system performance: If the system doesn’t produce the electricity we promised - for any reason - you’ll receive a refund for the difference as outlined in your Sunrun agreement. If the system overproduces, you keep the excess power.Sell your home with ease: Sunrun has a team of service transfer experts and we guarantee a seamless agreement transfer to the new buyer.Flexible financing options: You can choose between monthly payment or get the lowest possible rate with a prepaid option that keeps all the benefits of a PPA or lease while eliminating a monthly bill from Sunrun.
[H3] Can I really go solar for little to $0 down?
Yes. Qualifying Sunrun customers can take control of their long-term electricity costs for as little as $0 down with a Sunrun Solar Subscription. The benefits of solar are rolled up into a low, predictable monthly rate for solar power and battery storage that minimizes the energy you receive from the grid while also protecting you from outages.
[H3] How does a prepaid solar lease work?
With a solar power purchase agreement, or PPA, you pay for the power, not the panels. The amount you pay is based on a per kilowatt-hour rate for the electricity produced by your solar panels.With a prepaid Sunrun Subscription Plan, you can go solar with just one, up front payment that covers 25 years worth of solar power and battery backup. With a prepaid option we’ll also still actively monitor and maintain your solar equipment over the life of your agreement.
[H1] System design and equipment
[H3] How do you customize my solar system?
Every solar system we design is custom to the current and future needs of the household. We do this by getting a copy of your utility bill and reviewing your 12-month historical usage. After looking at your past energy usage we discuss with you any future energy changes whether that be adding a hot tub, charging an EV at home, or growing your family. Taking into account both your past and future we are able to use advanced software to estimate where your solar panels should be placed to get the right amount of solar panel production each year and how many home batteries we recommend.Once that’s complete, we may have a technician come view your roof, attic, home structure, electrical panels, and any other information that our solar system design team may need. Our solar system design team then takes all the data we’ve collected and uses it to design a customized solar energy system for your home.Here’s a breakdown of what that looks like:Collect historical energy dataDiscuss future energy changes to estimate the right system size As needed, visit your home and review available roof space, attic, electrical panel, direction of home, roof tilt, azimuth, etc.Verify home measurements and create customized solar system design.Go over the final design with you, so you know what your system layout will look like and how much electricity you will be receiving from solar.If you want to learn about the efficiency of your panels or review what the equipment will look like for your specific home, talk to a Sunrun consultant.
[H3] Can I add more panels to my system?
While we aren’t able to add solar panels to existing home solar systems, we can add a second system to your home under a separate agreement. This allows you to still receive more solar energy for your home with the addition of more equipment and panels. If you’re interested, please talk to a Sunrun consultant or with our Customer Engagement team.
[H3] What are solar panels made of?
The vast majority of modern solar panels are made from silicon, a highly durable element that converts sunlight into electricity via photovoltaic (PV) cells. Most residential systems use monocrystalline silicon, which is crafted from a single, high-quality crystal structure similar to the tech found in computer chips. These panels are typically dark black and feature "clipped" corners to help electrons flow more efficiently. Their uniform structure makes them the most efficient and space-saving option for your roof.You may also encounter polycrystalline panels, which are made by melting multiple silicon crystals together. These are recognizable by their blue tint and "shimmering" appearance, though they are generally less efficient because the gaps between crystals can trap electrons. At Sunrun, we prioritize high-efficiency, monocrystalline panels which also have superior aesthetics. We often utilize PERC technology, which adds a specialized layer to the back of the solar cell to capture more light and boost total energy production.
[H3] Once I have a system design, where can I find a copy of it?
Your system design is located in your Sunrun agreement, which you can find under the “Contracts & Docs” section in the Sunrun App or when logged into Sunrun.com. If your agreement is not available in the Sunrun app, you will be able to request a copy from our Customer Engagement team via live chat in the app or by calling 1-855-478-6786.
[H3] What happens if my system breaks or isn’t working as expected?
With a lease or PPA plan, Sunrun takes complete care of your solar system, which includes making any necessary repairs or replacements to the equipment over the course of your agreement.If you have reason to believe the solar system is damaged or not working as expected, please let us know by logging into the Sunrun app and navigating to Support where you can chat with an agent.View More
[H1] Installation
[H3] What happens during an installation?
Once we finalize your system design and have all of the necessary approvals, it will be time to install the solar panels on your roof.Our local installation crews are experienced and efficient. A lot of times, they can complete installations in one day. Here's what a typical installation day looks like:Step 1: Crew arrival and preparationFirst things first. We introduce ourselves and map out where we’ll be working and parking our vehicles.Step 2: Review system design and equipment locationYour foreman will review the plans with you and confirm the equipment and where it will go.Step 3: System installationThe crew will install the solar panels and wiring on your roof, while the foreman installs your inverter, battery, and other electrical equipment.Step 4: Crew clean upWe clean up as construction winds down to make sure we leave your property exactly as we found it.Step 5: Final walk-throughOnce installation is complete, your foreman will explain how your new home solar system works and how to power it on when the time comes.
[H3] What happens to my roof when solar panels are installed?
Since Sunrun home solar systems are roof-mounted, we drill holes in the roof to anchor the racking equipment for the panels during installation. All our roof penetrations are made watertight and are guaranteed by a workmanship warranty. One little known benefit, once the solar panels are on your roof, they can protect the underlying sections from normal weathering and increase its longevity.
[H3] What’s installed as part of a home solar system?
Each home is different, and the equipment we install can vary from house to house. In general, here’s what you can expect.1. Solar panels: Solar panels convert sunlight into direct current electricity (DC).2. Inverter: Your inverter tells energy where to flow and converts it into alternating current electricity (AC), so it can be used in your home.3. Home battery: For those who choose to get a home battery(ies), solar energy that is generated and not immediately used  can be stored in a battery for evening use or during outages. 4. Sunrun meter: Solar production is measured and monitored by your Sunrun meter so we can make sure your system is producing as much energy as possible.There are also a few pieces of equipment that you already have at your home that are connected to the solar system.5. Main electrical panel: Your electrical panel distributes AC electricity to your entire home. You probably know it by its other name, "Fuse Box."6. Utility meter: When the sun is shining, you may get all of your energy from solar, but due to things like weather, winter and nighttime, you will still have to buy some energy the old-fashioned way. Your utility meter measures how much energy comes from and goes to the grid.
[H3] How long does the installation usually take?
The process o
