How It Works

Houses powered with solar panels help create clean, renewable energy!

  1. The sun is going to excite the electrons in the solar panels producing DC Direct Current electricity.
  2. An inverter is used to invert the electricity from DC Direct Current electricity to a form your home can use AC Alternating Current electricity.
  3. The Sunrun Solar Meter will measure exactly how much electricity your solar system is creating in real-time and you will be able to view it from our app on your smartphone or computer.
  4. The Solar electricity will pass through to your homes electrical service panel and power your home with clean renewable solar energy. When you are producing more power than you are consuming it will pass through your utility companies Net Meter and will be stored on the utility companies grid.
  5. When you go solar your utility company will change out your Standard Meter for a Net Meter which keeps track of how much excess power you create and send back to the grid as well as how much electricity you use from the utility company.

**Estimated savings based on a projected annual utility rate increase of 3.16% over the life of the system. Actual savings will vary. Savings depends on several factors, including product type, system production, geography, weather, shade, electricity usage, full utilization of the 30% solar Investment Tax Credit by the system owner, and utility rate structures and rate increases. Analysis based on customers who enrolled with Sunrun between October 15, 2014 and October 15, 2015. *** According to a recent 2014 study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, solar panels add about $4.00 per watt to resale value for homeowner-owned systems. This means that an average sized system can add up to $15,000 to your home's value. http://newscenter.lbl.gov/2015/01/13/berkeley-lab-illuminates-price-premiums-u-s-solar-home-sales/
