Steve’s summer with Lunar Energy: cool, comfortable, and in control

On hot California afternoons, Steve used to dread climbing the stairs to his home office. The second floor turned into an oven, peaking at 86 degrees. He wouldn’t run the AC since that felt like burning cash - his PG&E bill already soared past $650 / month. Instead, he’d wait for the cool evening air to open the windows and run a fan to cycle the air. 

“I was always managing the heat instead of enjoying my home,” Steve said.

This summer was different. With a Lunar System quietly powering his home, he set the AC to 72°F and stopped worrying about bills.

The battery that fit—and the team that backed it

Steve, an engineer, wanted numbers that worked. Why didn’t solar alone make sense anymore?

Under California’s NEM 3.0 rules, the value of sending excess solar to the grid has dropped dramatically. Without a battery, homeowners lose much of the financial benefit of solar—they buy power at high evening rates but sell it back for pennies during the day.

“Solar by itself wasn’t the right investment,” Steve explained. “The economics only clicked when I added a battery.”

When his installer, Synergy Power, recommended the Lunar System, Steve compared options.

• Lunar’s 20 kWh capacity was “just right.” Big enough to back up his home, small enough to avoid overspending.
• The 10 kW inverter met his key loads.
• Lunar provided exceptional support and service.

“I looked at Tesla Powerwall, but customer service and support was a concern,” Steve said. “With Lunar, you can feel how much they care.”

Even when early installation bumps arose, Lunar’s service impressed him.

“The Lunar team texted me on weekends and made sure everything was resolved quickly,” Steve said. “That level of care and personal touch is why I recommend Lunar to others.”

Outages covered, bills slashed

With his battery running in Lunar AI mode, Steve no longer times his AC around the sun.

• AC set to 72°F all summer
• Bills cut from $600+ to $35
• Whole-home backup during outages

“I can work upstairs comfortably, all summer long,” he said. “The app is easy to use, and I love seeing the real-time data.”

Protecting what matters most

Steve’s confidence in Lunar Energy runs deep enough that he’s recommending it to family. His father, who medically needs uninterrupted power, is next in line for installation.

“It gives me peace of mind knowing my dad will have that protection and the continuous power he needs.”

“Lunar changed how I live in my home. I’m more comfortable, I’m saving money, and I know I can rely on the Lunar team.”
