Did You Know Your Home Can Go Solar for Zero Down?

Living in Florida, solar energy just makes sense – it is almost always sunny here. Eben’s school has solar panels (intro photo) – next I would love if our home did. I love that there are more options becoming available for residences to run on solar – options that are affordable and easy for homeowners. I have been looking for solar options that are available in Florida. Tough.

Sun Run makes going solar easy and affordable – they want to offer solar to everyone who wants it. You can get solar installed for little or no money down, pay monthly for the solar power and save thousands on your electric bills + it’s fantastic for the environment. Right now, Sun Run is available in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon and Pennsylvania.

This is what Sun Run says:

| If you go solar with SunRun, installation, monitoring, repairs, insurance, and inverter replacement are all included for free. SunRun buy, installs, and takes care of your solar system, from day one to year 20. |

Nice. Sun Run needs to come to sunny Florida – wouldn’t that be fantastic?

Does your home have solar? What has your experience been?
Are you considering solar if your state offers it? What questions do you have?
