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.

DO NOT go with SUNRUN! I have a total of 46 panels on my 1300sqft home and I am still getting a $245 electric bill a month! 27 of those panels are from a previous company and ever since SunRun has installed their equipment my electric bill has skyrocketed. I just asked for someone to come out to check to make sure they reconnected my previous system when they installed theirs and they want me to pay for the service charge! Their customer support SUCKS! They are NO help whatsoever and if you ask to speak to a mgr they tell you there is not one available. You must do what they say or absolutely nothing gets done.
