Sunrun Expands Solar Access to Florida
June 19 2017 - 2:46PM
Sunrun Inc. (Nasdaq:RUN), the largest dedicated residential
solar, storage and energy services company in the United States,
today announced that it will offer homeowners in Florida a less
expensive, cleaner way to power their homes while creating new jobs
throughout Orlando and Tampa this year. In November, Floridians
voted in favor of clean energy choices and legislators responded
this session by passing Senate Bill 90, making it simpler to go
solar. Florida follows Nevada and countless other states that are
taking local action to support clean energy access.
By offering consumers the freedom of choice, homeowners can
either own their system outright with Sunrun BrightBuy, or finance
their system purchase with Sunrun BrightAdvantage, using a loan
arranged by Sunrun. Systems will be available for purchase at
select Costco retailers or directly from Sunrun via its website
www.sunrun.com or 1-888-GO-SOLAR.
"There is strong demand for rooftop solar in Florida, so we are
thrilled to bring this affordable clean energy solution to
homeowners," said Lynn Jurich, Chief Executive Officer of
Sunrun. "Rooftop solar benefits both homeowners choosing
to take control of their energy needs, and communities by creating
new jobs and a cleaner, more robust energy grid.”
With the addition of Florida, Sunrun now offers service in 22
states, expanding its presence in the Southeast. This further
highlights Sunrun's ability to enter new markets in a low
fixed-cost way through continuing to drive installation costs down
and collaborating with local partners in the state.
Floridians are ready for affordable cleaner energy choices.
Voters went to the ballot box in August and November and asked
their legislators to make it simpler to go solar. Legislators
responded by passing Senate Bill 90 to enable voter-passed
Amendment 4, which Governor Rick Scott signed Friday.
“SB 90 represents a real tax cut to those homeowners and
businesses who choose to invest in their own energy future,”
said Ray Rodrigues, Florida House Majority Leader.
“It lowers the cost of doing business and helps Florida families.
It also creates jobs and economic opportunities, and I welcome job
creators like Sunrun to the State of Florida.”
Florida Senator Jeff Brandes agreed: “The
decision to create new jobs in the renewable energy market in
Florida continues to move our economy forward with tax cuts like
those in SB 90. We have a bold job growth agenda that prioritizes a
diversified energy portfolio, and I look forward to further efforts
in the legislature to continue this positive momentum.”
