Flex removes any uncertainty, offering a solution that fits families’ needs now and in the future. Key benefits with Sunrun Flex include: Cost Predictability: Customers enjoy predictable, affordable monthly payments, with the ability to \"flex\" their energy usage as life changes—all while knowing exactly what their cost per kilowatt hour will be.Rollover Credits: When customers use less energy than their baseline, they earn credits they can then apply when they use more energy in the future. This allows customers to bank ...
