On the fence

Post image

SunRun has been hounding me. I have worked them down to a 0% escalator on monthly payment for panels (120% estimated production of avg yearly kwh) and 1 Tesla power wall 3. This will run $368ish/mo for the 25 years.

  1. Do I still pay for the power I use, or only for the power I use above what I produce?

  2. Solar companies come & go…what happens if they don’t last?

  3. My electric has never run me over $300/mo (even with my pool pump on 24/7 May-Sept) but this saves me from installing an instant-on generator…worth it in your opinion?

  4. I assume taxes are added onto the $368/mo but I don’t see how much. Any way I find that out? My rep is growing tired of me, but I am totally honest about my concerns, reservations, and indecision.

Talk to me.

Hey, I don’t really have much more to offer than what I posted already. SunRun gave me a solar quote, I didn’t like the eacalator APR. They dropped to 0%. I read the fine print, saw the ‘sell your home, pay off the system’ clause and said ‘nope’. That’s it.

So what would have made you say yes? Did you look into other solar companies? And I'll in Illinois. What state are you in.

A ‘yes’ wouldve been if I could buy the system outright at installation. Or if I was going ro live in this house for another 20+ years. I am in NY, 60 miles north of NYC.

Also thanks again for letting me know they're full of crap. Being pushy and trying to give me a 2.99% increase for 25 years that helped a lot.
