A Step in the Right Direction.

Sunrun is responsible for the system. That means every component on your roof and in your garage — panels, inverters, battery, wiring — is their responsibility, not yours. If something fails, they fix or replace it at no cost to you.

Your agreement includes a 25-year warranty covering parts, labor, and workmanship. Sunrun monitors the system around the clock — if production drops or something goes offline, they typically catch it before you notice. The 90% performance guarantee means if your system produces less than 90% of the estimate in any given period, Sunrun pays you the difference.

The roof penetrations are covered too. If a leak develops because of the installation, that's on Sunrun for the life of the agreement. Not your homeowner's insurance. Not your pocket.

You don't troubleshoot. You don't call a contractor. You don't file a claim. You call Caleb or Sunrun, and it gets handled.

Because qualifying is the only way to find out if you have another option at all. Right now you're in a permanent arrangement with Edison. There's no end date. No contract you signed. No rate cap. No exit clause. Edison can raise your rate every year — and they have. For the last decade straight.

If you qualify, you'd move into a 25-year agreement with a rate you agreed to, a 3.5% annual cap you can see in writing, and terms that transfer if you sell your home. Edison's arrangement is indefinite with no cap, no ceiling, and no terms at all.

Finding out you're qualified doesn't lock you into anything. It just tells you whether the option exists — a commitment with terms, versus the one you're already on without them.

The 30% federal tax credit for homeowner-purchased systems expired December 31, 2025. Without it, the average solar and battery system in California costs $35,000 to $50,000. Financed, that's roughly $370 a month at 7% for 15 years — $25,000 in interest on top of the principal.

The battery alone runs about $15,000 installed and typically needs replacing around year 10 to 12. If you purchased the system that replacement is on you.

However the tax credit still exists for third-party-owned systems. Sunrun is able to claim it and pass it through to you as a lower rate. So the reason most people lean toward this program is simple: you get the same panels, the same battery, and a lower rate than Edison — without spending $50,000, without taking on a loan, and without being responsible when something needs fixing or replacing. The savings start month one and the risk sits with Sunrun, not you.

That happens mostly when the system is undersized — it doesn't produce enough to cover their usage, so they're still pulling from the grid every month. Sizing is the whole job. We designed yours from your actual Edison bill, not a rough estimate, not an average.

Your system will also include a Tesla Powerwall. It stores your excess production for the hours Edison charges the most. That's why your bill drops to the minimum connection fee — not from net metering credits, but because you're barely touching the grid.
