Solar Energy Business Model

This is a new energy business model.

Sunetric and Revolusun offer homeowners on Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island zero down payment for a solar system. SunRun, their partner, pay for the photovoltaic system and Revolusun and Sunetric install it.

The benefit for the resident, in addition to the zero down payment, is buying solar-generated electricity from SunRun at a locked-in-rate and no costs on maintenance.
SunRun makes a profit by getting the tax incentives and selling electricity to household in the long-term.
