Rent Solar

Solar panels are expensive to buy with payback times sometimes measured in decades. What if you could rent solar power for the same price you currently pay for electricity from your utility company? You can. Here's the deal...
- No upfront investment.
- No waiting for rebates.
- No headaches with the city and the utility; they handle the engineering, procurement, and construction.
- Performance-based contract means you only pay for what is delivered. And since the solar power you generate will reduce the need for electricity from your power company, your net payment should always be equal to, or less than, what you’re paying now.
- Hassle-free operating and maintenance; it’s handled by the experts.
- Actual hedge against future utility price increases: you can “lock in” your rates for the electricity generated from the solar system at your home for a period of up to twenty-five years, far longer than the guaranteed rates offered by other electricity providers.
