Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Sunrun?

Sunrun is a leading provider of solar energy solutions. We specialise in designing, installing, and maintaining solar panel systems for residential and commercial properties, allowing customers to harness the power of the sun to generate clean and renewable energy.

How does solar energy work?

Solar energy is generated through photovoltaic (PV) cells that convert sunlight into electricity. When sunlight strikes the solar panels on your roof, the PV cells create a flow of electrons, generating direct current (DC) electricity. This electricity is then converted into alternating current (AC) through an inverter, making it usable for powering your home or business.

How do I get started with SunRun?

Getting started is easy! Simply reach out to our team through our website or contact us directly. We will schedule a consultation to discuss your solar needs, conduct an assessment, and provide you with a customised solar solution for your property.

Is financing available for solar installations?

Yes, we offer various financing options to make solar energy accessible to more homeowners and businesses. These options may include solar leases, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and solar loans with flexible terms.

Can I sell excess energy back to the grid?

If your solar system generates more electricity than you consume, many regions allow you to sell the excess energy back to the grid through net metering or feed-in tariff programs. Our team can guide you through the process and available incentives in your area.

Are there any warranties or maintenance services for the solar panels?

Yes, we provide industry-leading warranties on our solar panels and inverters. Additionally, we offer maintenance services to ensure that your solar system continues to operate optimally over its lifespan.

How long does the installation process take?

The installation process typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the complexity and size of the project. Our team works efficiently to minimise any disruption to your daily routine during the installation.

How much will a solar installation cost?

The cost of a solar installation varies depending on several factors, such as the size of the system, your energy consumption, and the location of your property. We offer personalised quotes after conducting an on-site assessment and understanding your energy requirements.

Is my property suitable for solar installation?

In most cases, solar panels can be installed on rooftops or open land with good sun exposure. Our expert team will conduct a thorough assessment of your property to determine its solar potential and provide you with the best solution tailored to your specific needs.
