Burton Family Powers Home and Business with SunPower, Cutting Their Bill by a Third
When the Burton family decided to buy a new home, they hadn’t thought much about solar power. Their first priority? Finding a home that would fit them, their printing business, two kids, and a cat. They found the right place in a 4,600-square-foot two-story home in San Diego’s Avaron community. And then they braced for the large electricity bills. But instead of paying more, the Burtons pay much less—thanks to a SunPower® SunTile® solar electric system. The solar system now powers the Burtons’ home and business energy needs, cutting their bill by a third. With SunPower, the Burtons don’t have to choose between energy savings and comfort.
