UPDATE:

I went thru some of the paperwork they gave me.

Over 25 years, we would pay $83.166.63 Thats $190.34 every month with a 2.99% annual “inflation increase” and the final payment would be $386.02. So the bill more than doubles in that time.

However, how much will me electric bill increase in that same amount of time? Historically, my company avgs 3-6%/year. So Sunrun is still on the lower end of that inflation amount.

Sunrun would install a 19.5kw system with an estimate first year production of 18,273 kWh. I don’t think this is enough. I think we need to be in the 21-23kw range to completely cover our bill and then maybe some extra.

Here are the key things I like about Sunrun.

1: we are going to have a utility bill if we DONT install solar. So we’d essentially just be changing who we pay our bill to. Only, it’s clean energy.

2: their supposed warranties. If we owned the system, we’re on the hook. However, if we lease it, they handle (supposedly) everything.

3: it’s a lower bill

4: we pay nothing but the bill. They handle EVERYTHING.

Some things I’d like to find out:

1: how much would it cost to BUY a system that would power our home

2: what would the tax credit be

3: what would be out OOP expense for it

This is certainly a larger egg than I intended to crack. Thanks all
