Your power bill is never going down.

When the power goes out

The grid is getting less reliable, not more.

A battery does not stop the outage. It keeps your house running through it.

The 30% credit changed this year.

  • The federal 30% credit for buying a system ended December 31, 2025.
  • On a lease or power purchase agreement, that 30% is still claimed by the provider and passed through to you. That runs through the end of 2027.
  • Which is why most homes are going the lease route right now.

Is this you?

This is for you if

  • You own your home and pay the power bill.
  • You want one person to call with questions.
  • You want to see the numbers before you decide.

This is not for you if

  • You are renting or do not own the home.
  • You would rather not share a recent power bill.
  • You want a decision made for you on the spot.

How it works

From first look to power on.

01

Estimate

I look at your power use and what you want out of solar, then put together a clear estimate for you to consider.

02

Design

A system is designed around your roof and your usage. I walk you through it line by line and answer your questions.

03

Permitting and approval

The project goes through city permitting and utility approval. I keep you updated as each stage clears.

04

Install and activation

Sunrun handles installation and activation. I stay available through the handoff and after it is on.

Common questions

Straight answers.

What does solar cost upfront?

Most plans are $0 down. What you pay depends on the plan you choose, and I will show you each option side by side before you decide anything.

How does financing work?

There are lease, power purchase and purchase options. Each one splits the cost differently, and I will walk you through what the monthly picture looks like for your home.

What if I sell the house?

The agreement can transfer to the new homeowner, or it can be settled at closing depending on your plan. Tell me which plan you are on and I will explain your options.

What if my roof needs work first?

Roof condition is checked before anything is installed. If it needs work first, you will hear that from me early rather than after the fact.

Does it actually work when the power goes out?

With a battery, yes. It switches over on its own and keeps your essentials running, and you can watch it happen in the app. Without a battery, a solar system shuts off during an outage for safety.

How long does the process take?

It depends on your city's permitting and your utility. I will give you a realistic window for your address and keep you posted at each stage.

What if solar does not make sense for my home?

Then I will tell you so. That is the whole point of the estimate. If the numbers do not work for your home, usage or rate plan, there is no reason for you to move forward.
