When I heard about SunRun, I thought solar could fit into my budget and since then we ve been very happy. - Chris, SunRun customer Did you know?

That s because anyone who purchases a home with solar will have lower electricity bills, which means they will be willing to pay more for the home. A recent study estimated that $1,000 a year in electricity savings translates to a $20,000 increase in the value of a home. With SunRun, you ll get that extra home value even if you decide to move before your 18 year agreement is up. You can transfer your SunRun agreement to the home buyer, pay out the agreement, or purchase your system. All three options will add value to the price of your home. It should come as no surprise, but according to the Energy Information Administration, Arizona has the highest solar power potential in the US. Furthermore, electricity for air conditioning alone costs many Arizona homeowners over $100 per month. Home solar in Arizona can help to alleviate this burden while making use of one the state s most abundant natural resources: sunlight. or visit SunRunHome.com/Arizona

4 SunRun The smartest way to power your home. Why should I go solar today when technology and pricing may change in the future? Unlike computers, home solar technology has changed very little in recent decades. Some companies are pioneering thin film technology which is less expensive to produce. But, these panels are low density and most homes do not have the space to fit the additional panels required to produce the same amount of electricity. Continually increasing utility rates and decreasing rebates means that homeowners should go solar now for the best immediate and long-term savings. What happens if I move before the end of my SunRun agreement? SunRun s solar solutions are designed to be flexible and to maximize your home s resale price. Many homeowners choose SunRun because they know they re going to move and plan to use SunRun s Full System Management as an additional selling point. When you move, you have three options: Frequently Asked Questions Chances are this is your first time going solar. No need to worry! SunRun is here to answer all your questions. Contact us today. SunRunHome.com/Arizona 877-SUN-MOJO 1. Transfer the agreement at no charge SunRun continues to provide Full System Management, and the new homeowner starts paying for solar where you left off. So, you share some of the cost of solar with the new homeowner. 2. Prepay the remaining monthly payments in the 18-year agreement SunRun continues to provide Full System Management and the new homeowner enjoys free solar electricity. 3. Purchase the system The new homeowner will own the system along with the house but won t receive Full System Management. Your agreement indicates the buyout price for specific years. What if the new homeowner doesn t want SunRun? It s important to note that homebuilders and realtors are discovering that solar homes sell faster and for higher prices than those without. If the new homeowner really didn t want to save money on electricity, you could buy out the system from SunRun and take it with you. You d be no worse off than if you had purchased the system outright initially. Do I still get the benefits of selling power back to the utility with SunRun? Yes. When your system produces more energy than your home is using, you not SunRun - get credits from the utility company. This relationship between you and the utility is the same whether you go solar with SunRun or another company.

5 What happens at the end of my SunRun customer agreement? 1. Remove the solar electric system At no cost to you, we ll remove the solar panels from your home. 2. Renew the agreement Renew your customer agreement with SunRun and we ll continue to provide Full System Management 3. Buy the system We can t legally give you the panels for free but we can give you a small, set buyout price. It s usually a few thousand dollars, which won t be much 18 years from now. Why is SunRun a safe place to invest my money? Solar is a low risk investment that will save you money on your electricity bill. Most homeowners will earn double digit returns much more than they could earn in the stock market and with much less risk. Because of our Full System Management, your solar investment is even less risky with SunRun; there will be no additional maintenance or repair costs. Does SunRun put a lien on my home? Absolutely not. We won t put any lien, mortgage, or deed on the solar system or assessed against your property. This is specified in the SunRun customer agreement. How is SunRun s Full System Management different than an installer or manufacturer warranty? SunRun offers a 16-year extension over the typical two year workmanship warranty from an installer. Unlike the manufacturers warranties for individual system components, SunRun offers full insurance and maintenance coverage on the system as a whole. If something goes wrong, SunRun is responsible for chasing claims, orchestrating logistics, and fixing the problem. or visit SunRunHome.com/Arizona
