Getting a Solar Power System for Your Home – As Easy as Buying a Book Online?

Residential Solar Power Now Available With the Click of a Mouse in Colorado

Solar energy is coming to Denver and Boulder in a whole new way for homeowners looking to save money on their electricity bills. Today, getting a solar power system for the home is just about as easy as purchasing a book on Amazon, and is more affordable than ever before. Sungevity, the California-based company that’s behind the national campaign to get solar on the White House, has “virtually” arrived in Denver and Boulder to roll-out its one-of-a-kind online solar home solution.

“Coloradans are savvy when it comes to solar, and through the trend of democratizing solar energy, we welcome this helpful service that will make it easy for homeowners to take that next step.”

In three easy steps, homeowners can log onto Sungevity.com, receive a firm “iQuote,” see what the solar panels will look like on their roof using a mash-up of satellite and aerial imagery, sign a contract using electronic signatures and schedule an installation – all paid for with a no-money-down lease.

By using solar energy, Sungevity estimates that most homeowners can save 15 percent off their electricity bills from day one and have a new residential solar panel system on their roofs, giving owners the satisfaction of using clean energy. Sungevity pioneered the ability to accurately engineer and design a solar system for the home without making a site visit. The Sungevity approach uses satellite and aerial photos to size and design the solar system within 24 hours. Solar consultants from Sungevity are available to speak to potential customers from 9 a.m. – 9 p.m., seven days a week, toll-free at 866.SUN4ALL begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              866.SUN4ALL      end_of_the_skype_highlighting. Finally, local contractors that Sungevity has partnered with then perform the installation.

“We believe that homeowners in Colorado will enjoy the benefits of ‘going solar’ at home,” said Neal Lurie, Director of the Colorado Solar Energy Industries Association. “Coloradans are savvy when it comes to solar, and through the trend of democratizing solar energy, we welcome this helpful service that will make it easy for homeowners to take that next step.”

Sungevity makes it as easy as a click-of-the-mouse to secure the best lease for solar energy in the market.”
