Break Free from Outages and Bill Spikes With Solar Panels and a Battery in Davis, CA
Sunrun Provides the Power You Need and the Security You Deserve
More than 22.2 million California households have been affected by power outages in the past 10 years.1 In addition, the average residential electricity rate in Davis is more than 30% higher compared to cities in other states.2
Yet, since Davis gets plenty of sunshine each year, which adds up to 267 sunny days3, and home solar costs have dropped by more than 70%4, now is the best time to go solar. Installing home solar panels and a battery from a Davis solar company like Sunrun lets you control your electric bills, get outage protection and drastically reduce your carbon emissions.
How to Go Solar in Davis
As the nation’s largest residential solar, storage and energy services company5, Sunrun has several solar plans to help you start your solar journey in the most affordable way possible based on your unique energy needs.
Also, Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) Net Energy Metering program allows you to earn credits for the excess electricity produced by the panels on your roof. Meaning, you’ll have more control over your home energy.6
California Solar Incentives, Rebates, & Tax Credits
| Solar Savings Types | Value of Savings |

**Customer’s ability to monetize rebates, incentives and tax credits depends on several factors, including, without limitation, continued state subsidization of these policies, the applicable Sunrun product type, and whether a customer purchases or leases a solar system from Sunrun.
