Affordable Home Solar Power By Renting The System

The interest in renewable, solar power is exploding. Unfortunately, many homeowners today are turned off from installing residential photovoltaic (solar PV) cells due to high upfront system purchase. The payback period on most purchased systems is 5 to 10 years. Fortunately, a new solar system rental program is allowing all of the money barriers and investment limitations go away.

A new solar rental program is the first to give homeowners the chance to adopt green energy without having to make a huge investment. The solar service takes care of all the usual headaches and does it with the most attractive terms in the industry. Early adopters can save money by powering their homes with solar power.

It is not just the American Dream any longer. It is possible for U.S. homeowners to save money on their energy bills by renting a residential solar energy system. A homeowner can help to lower their carbon emissions by utilizing renewable energy. A new manufacturer is working to make it hassle free and affordable for a homeowner to install solar. Reducing costs related to purchasing electricity from a utility company is an added value to upgrading to solar.

In their pilot installation phase, this company is working to remove the barriers to wide-scale solar adoption in the United States. Its business model is to rent all of the equipment needed to power a residential home with solar electricity.

There is an energy auditing process and required feasibility study to better determine suitable locations. In some cases, homeowners wishing to have a solar energy system installed will not qualify.

reThinking a Solar Energy Rental Service—The U.S. homeowner need not purchase an expensive solar system. It is offered on a rental basis. The installation is free, with it being part of the rental service, and any permitting or rebate challenges related to the system installation are handled by the company - not the homeowner. The rental company provides the solar equipment, installs the solar electric system, and maintains the unit over time. This solar rental service allows the average citizen to self-produce their own renewable energy.

The homeowner pays a rental fee and produces solar generated electricity from the solar system installed on their home. The homeowner doesn’t have to worry about maintaining the equipment or any of the other concerns that come with making a solar system purchase.

This rental service takes care of all the barriers and headaches associated with the installation of residential solar systems. The solar solution avoids further carbon emissions, helps reduce dependencies on foreign energy, and creates momentum for renewable energy projects in many part of the U.S.

The Residential Solar Energy System—This service provides enhanced efficiency and better control of your energy usage. The system will monitor the energy production on a daily basis. The homeowner can also track household energy consumption via online reporting. The integrated solar unit provides a renewable energy source that helps a homeowner self-produce renewable energy.

Solar Generated Electricity Saves Money—Switching to solar energy can also save on long term electricity costs. The homeowner pays a flat monthly rental fee for the solar energy unit. They generate renewable energy from the rented system and this electricity offsets the energy that must be purchased from a utility company. This will cause a reduction in the average paid for electricity going forward.

The rental pays for itself over the life span of the residential solar energy system. The homeowner avoids utility rate increases over time because the solar system rental fee stays lock-in while the cost for electricity continues to go up.

The U.S. homeowner can produce renewable energy, save money on their energy costs, and feel good about lowering their carbon emissions. This solar rental service is truly solar made simple.
