Solar in California
Considering going solar in California?
California's energy landscape is changing. Adapt with a home solar system engineered for the state's unique demands and opportunities. With over 17 years of experience, Sunrun is the #1 home solar & battery company in America for a reason.
Over the past 10 years, electricity rates in California have skyrocketed, with residential customers seeing increases up to 110%1. Looking ahead, experts predict rates will continue rising at a similar pace, further squeezing household budgets2. By making an investment in solar and home battery storage, California homeowners can take control of their energy costs and insulate themselves from these unpredictable and relentless utility rate hikes. A solar-plus-storage setup allows you to generate your own renewable power and store excess energy for use during periods of peak pricing, providing reliable, cost-effective, energy regardless of what happens with the grid.

FAQs
California adopted new solar laws in 2023, making the pairing of a battery with solar panels even more important. Before these changes, you could send extra energy to the grid for a significant solar credit. Then, when you need to use energy at night, those solar credits would offset that cost. However, the solar credits have dropped by about 70%, so when you need to use energy at night, the cost is hardly being offset.
This is where the battery comes in. Instead of sending solar energy to the electric grid for a tiny credit, you can store that energy, and use it to run your home.
In California, the net metering policy is evolving, and we're here to keep you in the know. We actively follow the changing energy landscape (like NEM 3.0), and we're committed to ensuring that you have the latest information and support as you make the switch to solar.
PG&E rates increased again on January 1, 2024. PG&E rates did increase on January 1, 2024, with typical residential customers seeing an average monthly increase of about $32.50, which translates to roughly $390 over the course of the year [3, 4]. Get maximum protection from utility rate hikes with a Sunrun solar system and protect yourself from outages with backup power from a battery system. With the ability to lock in predictable utility bills, you can enjoy reliable, affordable power for the next 25 years.
We do the research and help you take advantage of all the solar incentives available to you, even as the policies and incentives change. We work with you the whole way through — from designing solar systems to finding state and federal tax credits and incentives to going to your home to install solar panels. As an industry leading California solar provider, we pride ourselves on doing things the right way. We work hard to bring you competitive, affordable rates for premium products with unmatched service and guarantees.
Now is the ideal time to invest in renewable energy with a residential solar system for California homeowners. The sunny climate and soaring utility rates make rooftop solar panels a smart investment that pays dividends for years to come. With Sunrun, you'll lock in predictable utility bills and keep your lights on even when the rest of the neighborhood goes dark. Sunrun has already saved California ratepayers an estimated $3 million annually[5].
We offer a number of payment plans to help you find the best plan for your situation. The Sunrun Solar Subscription is the best selling subscription in America, but every home is unique. Solar customers have the choice to lease solar panels through the Sunrun Solar Subscription or to buy solar panels outright with an owned plan, where you can get a solar loan or pay upfront.
