Solar power: an affordable reality Posted on : May 2 2008 Permalink 0 comments
Some solar panel installers have devised a way to give more people access to solar energy in their larger aim to make solar energy as accessible and cheap as the energy we get from polluting sources. These companies are offering a scheme for customers to lease, rather than buy, the photovoltaic solar panels for their roofs. SolarCity, based in Foster City, California, has started this scheme so that people who want to use clean power will not be intimidated by the formidable cost of buying solar panels, which on an average is about $20,000. Under SolarCity’s lease program, customers with a small home will be set back by only as little as $70 a month for a 2.4 kilowatt system. The company is also offering an incentive to customers who sign up before July 31st- they will not be required to pay any money down on their system. The upfront costs finally should be between about $1,000 and $3,000. SolarCity means to serve as a one-stop shop for both installation and financing.
