How Sunrun Solar Works

From your first call to live solar power on your roof — typically 4 to 8 weeks. Here's exactly what happens.

01

Free Energy Analysis (1–2 days)

We review your electric bills, analyze your roof using satellite imagery, calculate your potential savings, and present custom Sunrun plan options (lease, loan, or purchase).

02

Design & Approvals (2–4 weeks)

Our team designs your custom solar system. We handle all permits, paperwork, HOA approvals (if needed), and utility interconnection applications. You approve the final design.

03

Installation (1–2 days)

Sunrun-certified installers set up your system. We connect to the grid, complete final inspection, and activate system monitoring.

04

Start Saving (Immediate)

Flip the switch and generate clean energy. Watch your electric bill drop. Sunrun monitors your system 24/7 and handles maintenance for 25 years (lease customers).
