Akeena Solar and Sun Run have announced their partnership to provide homeowners with Akeena's innovative Andalay solar power system and Sun Run's pioneering solar service. Akeena Solar has been a leading designer and installer of solar power systems since 2001.

The recent launch of Andalay introduced a revolutionary design shift to the residential solar market. The first solar system with integrated racking, wiring and grounding, Andalay delivers a meticulous design that ensures reliable performance for decades while providing a clean, streamlined appearance.

"With skyrocketing gas and electricity costs, people are turning to solar power to save money as energy costs climb year after year," said Barry Cinnamon, Akeena Solar CEO. "Now, homeowners can truly have it all - the stylish design and decades-lasting performance of Akeena's Andalay solar system with Sun Run's affordable service that suits their busy lives."

"Our growing family decided solar would be the best way to reduce costs right now and in the future, all while doing our part to reduce global warming," said Michelle Smith of Clovis, Calif. "We closely examined the numbers and proposals - Sun Run and Akeena simply made the most sense. We're paying up a little upfront, so we don't have to stress about rising energy prices down the road."

Sun Run introduced the Sun Run Solar Service to homeowners in September 2007. Through partnerships with Akeena Solar and other trusted solar installers, Sun Run offers homeowners low-cost, hassle free solar power that is locked into a fixed rate. The Sun Run Solar Service delivers free maintenance, monitoring and guaranteed performance for the life of the agreement, with flexible options if the homeowner moves.

"Akeena has been making it easy to go solar for years and we're thrilled to make it even easier through the Sun Run Solar Service," said Nat Kreamer, President and COO of Sun Run. "As smart homeowners demand smart solar, our partnership with Akeena is poised to pave the way to widespread adoption."
