SunRun, the nation's first residential solar electricity provider, today announced a partnership with Advanced Solar Electric (ASE), a leading California residential solar system installer. The relationship paves the way for the easy adoption of solar electricity among Southern California homeowners.
SunRun introduced SunRun Solar Service to homeowners in September 2007. Through partnerships with ASE and other trusted solar installers, SunRun offers homeowners hassle-free solar electricity at a low rate that never goes up. SunRun Solar Service includes free system maintenance and monitoring, with flexible options if the homeowner moves. Greg Lennox of Thousand Oaks, Calif, the latest beneficiary of the SunRun/ASE partnership, is already singing the praises of the solar service model.
"It was all about the maintenance and monitoring," Lennox said. "There is no way I want to get on my roof to clean those panels. I like knowing that SunRun is going to take care of everything and will be watching my system. With the cost savings and the maintenance and monitoring, going solar with SunRun really was a no brainer!"
ASE's comprehensive coverage of the greater Los Angeles area means homeowners throughout the region can go solar for less than they are currently paying Southern California Edison for electricity. In addition, SunRun offers a money-back guarantee to customers that systems installed by ASE will perform optimally and deliver results over the long term.
"With SunRun as a partner, we can offer our potential customers immediate electricity savings without the large capital commitment and responsibilities that come with system ownership," said Marco Suarez, President of ASE. "SunRun gives our customers a unique and valuable option, making the decision to go solar simpler and risk-free."
"The democratization of solar is dependent on the industry's ability to make it accessible," said Nat Kreamer, SunRun President and COO. "Our partnership with ASE is leading SunRun's expansion into Southern California and facilitating our goal of creating a widespread platform for homeowners to enjoy solar electricity at a low, fixed price with a high service value."
