Partnership Underscores Expansion of ‘Solar as a Service’ Across California
Markets

SAN FRANCISCO and LOS ANGELES, June 5 /PRNewswire/ — (Dwell on Design)
– 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.”
