With the amount a new solar panel system will save you on your monthly electric bill, you will find that your system can pay for itself in no time. Plus, with the federal and state tax credits that are often available to homeowners, the average system owner could benefit from thousands of dollars in extra income each year. With so many great benefits, there’s no reason to pay more for energy! Our Solar Educators are happy to discuss how a new solar system can specifically benefit your home.

Some of the most exciting benefits of residential solar installation in California include:

  • Reduce the amount of expenses on your utility bill
  • Significantly reduce your tax liability by receiving a 30% federal tax credit
  • Increase the resale value of your home without sacrificing curb appeal
  • Long-term financial savings

The SunPower Equinox® System also offers several key advantages, including:

We Make Installing Your New Residential Solar System Easy

At SunPower by Sun Solar, we want to make choosing solar an easy decision. That is why we offer a variety of solar lease benefits, including $0 down options, locked-in rates for up to 25 years, and an Energy Assurance™ performance guarantee, or your money back. You will also enjoy a unique early buy-out opportunity if you decide to buy your system before the end of your lease term. Otherwise, you will have flexible options at the end of your SunPower Lease, including renewing, purchasing, requesting a free removal, upgrading to the newest technology available, and more. 

Ready to invest in solar for your home? Our proven installation process involves the following steps:

  • Evaluation

    First, we will evaluate whether your property is suitable for solar power. South-facing roofs are ideal, but results can still be achieved with less ideally situated roofs as well. Our engineers will determine how much sunlight your roof would be likely to capture with a solar system and help you determine whether your roof will qualify for rebates and tax credits.

  • Purchasing

    Next, we will help you determine how powerful a system would be needed to power your property and go over how the project will be financed, including zero-down options and other financing/purchasing options for qualified customers.

  • Design & Installation

    After you sign your contract, your unique system design will be given to our engineers. Then, we will begin taking care of all of the permitting and rebate paperwork associated with your project. Once the rebate is approved and all permits are received, we can order the materials for your project and prepare for installation. Installation typically takes around three days to complete.

  • Inspection

    After completion of the installation, we will schedule a final inspection of your property with your local governing body. We will also submit the final paperwork to your electric company.

  • Completion

    The average residential solar installation in California takes approximately 12 weeks to complete from the initial contract to installation completion. We take steps to minimize disruption and inconvenience and aim to make this process as smooth and swift as possible.
