Sun and Solar at the Stagecoach Country Music Festival

by Eugene Rinehart on May 1, 2012

Yeehaw! A few lucky Sunrunners spent the weekend spreading solar bliss at the three-day Stagecoach Country Music Festival in Indio, CA.

The Stagecoach Country Music Festival.

Sunrun sponsored Stagecoach alongside other well-known brands like Budweiser and Toyota. We had to make a big impression, so we pulled out all the stops!

As soon as we had our tent set up and the AC blowing, all kinds of folks began arriving to cool off and learn more about solar for their home. By the end of the weekend it was easy to spot folks looking good in their sky blue “power forward” sunglasses and sharing pictures with their friends using the #sunrunhome tag on Instagram.

Instagram photo contest winners.

We even kicked it up a notch by offering $100 to one winner every day for sharing the sunniest photo on Instagram. Congratulations again to Coley, Tiffany and Allicia, our three winners! Thanks for your shining contributions.

Thousands of folks at Stagecoach and beyond now know more about solar and are able to consider it as an option for their home. Mission accomplished!
