Options For Renting Vs Buying A Solar Electric System

By: Daniel Stouffer Home | Home-and-Family


A new company is emerging; one that allows American homeowners to produce their own clean, green, renewable energy from the sun and keep the savings created by locking in a monthly rental rate. Homeowners can save thousands of dollars powering their home with solar generated electricity.

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 are requirements. An energy audit and suitability study are conducted to better understand whether a home is appropriate for solar. 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 provided on a leasing or 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 solar manufacturer pays for, installs, owns and operates the solar system installation on behalf of the homeowner. 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 solar energy rental program removes many obstacles and headaches related to the installation of home solar power systems. The rental service helps prevent pollution, helps to support national security, and helps promote many green initiatives in local communities across the United States.

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 provided inverter empowers a homeowner to self-produce their own electricity.

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 result in a decrease in an average energy paid over time.

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.
