Get Solar Energy Without the Big Investment November 13, 2007

There is going to be a  great new way to get solar power for your home or business without the big initial investment. The Citizenre program will be launching in the near future. I will keep you posted.

Renewable energy can be made cost competitive with today’s electricity rates. Moreover, with a fixed cost of electricity, this option is not just cost competitive, it is also financially profitable. Solar power can be a financially sensible choice.

The Citizenrē REnU program is the first to give residential customers the chance to use green power in their home without the usual dilemma. A solar system is prepackaged to deliver energy to the customer or the utility from power generated at the home. This new program takes care of all the usual headaches: it provides hassle free design, installation, operation, and maintenance – and does so with the most attractive terms in the industry.

Customers have the option to rent the system for either 1, 5 or 25 years. This arrangement eliminates the traditional up-front investment and associated investment risk. With all of the customary barriers removed, customers can get down to the bottom-line choice of do they want more renewable energy, do they want more reliability, and do they want more responsiveness.

With the convenience of net-metering, customers have the chance to adopt while still having the additional reliability of the grid. These well-engineered systems are designed to interact with the local utility to reduce system strain, defer network upgrades, and create redundancy of grid supply to enhance overall distribution reliability. This enhanced relationship is a win-win situation for the customer and the traditional utility.

You can sign up now to have a solar system designed for your home and lock in your current electricity rate (based on last year). The average security deposit to get started is only $500 for a home (after you have approved the design).
